Liu Yushu was in a coma for the whole morning.
She slowly opened her eyes with a blank expression. After her vision cleared, she realized she was in her boudoir. She let out a sigh of relief and closed her eyes again to rest.
The fight with Wu Qing had left her completely exhausted.
The doctor came to feel her pulse.
"Miss Second is in good health. Her qi and blood are abundant, and her complexion is rosy. She is very healthy," the doctor said with a smile. "However, it's summer now. Excessive qi and blood can easily lead to internal heat. I'll prescribe a mild decoction for Miss Second to reduce the heat."
"Zuitao, see the doctor out and go to get the medicine by the way," Liu Yanyi instructed.
"Yes," Zuitao said and accompanied the doctor out.
After closing the door, only the siblings were left in the room. Liu Yanyi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liu Yushu. "Elder sister, what exactly happened between you and that person last night?"
That person?
Liu Yushu looked puzzled. "Yier, who are you talking about?" She took a sip of the tea but still felt thirsty. So she got up and walked to the tea table. She directly picked up the teapot on the table, lifted the lid, and drank it all in one gulp. But she still felt parched, as if there was a ball of fire burning inside her.
She frowned tightly. In a hurry, she took an ice cube from the ice basin in the room for heat dissipation and put it in her mouth. Only then did she feel a bit cooler.
Liu Yanyi was quite surprised to see this. He felt as if his sister had become a different person. In the past, Liu Yushu was extremely frail. Due to a deficiency in the womb, she was born with a weak constitution and needed daily tonics. She couldn't even touch the slightest bit of cold food. How could she suddenly start eating ice? Moreover, the doctor had just said that her qi and blood were exuberant and she was prone to internal heat!
What on earth had that person done to Liu Yushu last night?
Seeing Liu Yushu's abnormal behavior, Liu Yanyi didn't rashly mention Wu Qing to her. Instead, he asked tentatively, "Elder sister, do you still remember what happened last night?"
"Last night?" Liu Yushu lowered her head, thought for a while, and then shook her head. "I don't remember. I remember going to bed early last night and sleeping soundly until dawn. I had a very comfortable sleep."
These words shocked Liu Yanyi even more. He knew that Liu Yushu suffered from insomnia and often couldn't sleep all night.
He suspected in his heart that Liu Yushu might have lost her memory, specifically the memory related to Wu Qing.
"Elder sister, is the hairpin on your head new? I've never seen you wear it before," Liu Yanyi noticed a crudely made silver hairpin in Liu Yushu's hair bun.
Such a rough ornament wouldn't even be worn by the servants in the mansion, let alone Liu Yushu, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. There was only one possibility, that is, it was given to her by Wu Qing.
Liu Yushu pulled out the silver hairpin and smiled slightly. "Oh, this. I bought it in the market a long time ago. The crystal on it is quite nice. It looks especially like a cat's eye." She put the hairpin into the jewelry box, picked up a delicate gold hairpin, and put it on her head in front of the bronze mirror. In the mirror, her autumn - water - like eyes looked at Liu Yanyi in confusion. "Why are you acting so strange today? You've been asking me about last night. Did something happen in the mansion last night?"
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with her reaction.
After this incident, could it be that she was so frightened that she had wiped out all memories of Wu Qing?
"..." Liu Yanyi hesitated. After a few moments of indecision, he replied, "Thieves broke into the mansion last night, but they've been driven away by the guards." He thought that since she had forgotten Wu Qing, he shouldn't mention it either.
Let Wu Qing fade away from her memory like the wind.
In Liu Yushu's life, Wu Qing was just a gust of wind. Apart from creating a slight ripple, it couldn't leave anything else behind.
