The next day, the commoners woke up early and saw that there was a pool of dead bodies covered in blood and mud in the alleyway. That person's eyes were still wide open, as if he was unable to rest in peace.

Lord Li was buried in a remote alley just like that. No one knew about it, but in the end, his body rotted in the alley and no one dared to pass.

Wangchuan's fever had already subsided, but his body was still extremely weak. After the doctor had instructed Wei Yi to take good care of him, he left the Wei Mansion.

Today, Wei Yi had finished with his management work and arrived at Wu Chuan's room. He sat on a nearby chair and looked at Wu Chuan's visibly thin face.

With a jolt in his heart, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pinch Wangchuan's smooth and small face. His fingers touched the warmth of Wangchuan's cheek, but there was no excess flesh at all.

It was as if after the period of time she had been at the bottom of the cliff, her already slender body had become even thinner, as if a gust of wind could knock her over.

When this girl woke up, he must give her a proper set of nourishment. As he thought of this, Wei Yi heard that a maidservant was preparing to give him a good set of nourishment.

Between the haze, Wu Chuan heard the voices of Wei Yi and the maidservant, and he opened his eyes to look at the familiar surroundings; he was in a daze.

Wei Yi turned his head to see that Wu Chuan had woken up. He struggled to get up, but Wei Yi helped him up and helped him up, leaning him against the headboard.

Wei Yi's tone was filled with pleasant surprise as he watched Wu Chuan wake up. "Wu Chuan, have you felt that something was wrong with your body since you woke up?"

Wangchuan noticed the look of worry on Wei Yi's face and raised his eyes to look directly into his own. "Don't worry, I'm fine now."

Seeing that Wu Chuan didn't seem to be lying to him, Wei Yi smiled as he gazed tenderly at the pale little face of Wu Chuan. "Take good care of yourself these few days. I'll be by your side."

Wangchuan listened to Wei Yi's words, and his face was shockingly pale as he pursed his dry lips.

In the moment that Wu Chuan was lost in thought, Wei Yi had already sent over his servant girl to bring over the food and nourishment that the doctor had ordered for him.

When the servant girl saw Wei Yi sitting in front of Wangchuan, she put down the food in her hands with an extremely meaningful gaze before lightly going out and closing the door for the two of them.

If Wangchuan knew what the servant girl was thinking, he would have been speechless.

At this moment, only Wei Yi and Wangchuan were left in the room. Wei Yi was holding a bowl of rice porridge, lightly blowing on it to cool it.

Just as he was about to feed the already warm porridge with a spoon in his hand to Wu Chuan's mouth, Wu Chuan subconsciously dodged.

For a moment, the two of them were stunned, the air seemed to have frozen, and soon, Wangchuan recovered from his shock. With an awkward tone, he said, "I think it's better if I do it myself."

As he spoke, he tried to snatch the ladle from Wei Yi's hands, but he was unable to. The smile in Wei Yi's eyes was clear, yet his tone was exceptionally forceful, making it hard for anyone to refuse.

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet. Let me do it." With that, he handed the spoon to Wu Chuan, opened his mouth slightly and mimicked a wet nurse who was feeding a child to Wu Chuan.

Wu Chuan's expression turned unnatural, but Wei Yi had still raised his hand in front of her mouth, so he could only obediently open his mouth.

Wei Yi slowly fed Wu Chuan the congee as the smile on his face grew even more apparent.

Just like this, Wei Yi finished feeding Wu Chuan. He was in an extremely good mood as he repeatedly reminded him not to move about too much and to pay attention to his cultivation before leaving to manage his affairs.

Over the next few days, Wei Yi would often return to the manor after settling his matters, keeping watch by his side.

In the end, Wangchuan didn't want to listen to what he had to say, so he just let Wei Yi stay by his side.

After a few days of recuperation, his previously pale and aged face was restored to its rosy luster.

In the past few days, Wu Chuan had been lying on the bed, feeling as if all the bones in his body were going to fall apart.

However, Wei Yi was just like that old-fashioned teacher. He was not allowed to forget about getting off his bed and walking around. If he was discovered, it would inevitably result in a lecture.

Wu Chuan, on the other hand, spent all day in bed. Wei Yi was bored, so he always gave Wu Chuan a word book when he wasn't around her.

Wei Yi was also well aware that Wangchuan was different from those mediocre ladies. He had only chosen matters related to martial arts, sword arts, and miscellaneous records.

Because he was ordered by Wei Yi not to get out of bed often, Wangchuan was forced to do so as he spent the entire afternoon reading those words in a book.

Time flew by and gradually, Wu Chuan was able to get off the bed by himself as well. However, although Wei Yi didn't say anything, his wrinkled eyebrows betrayed him.

For this reason, Wenchuan often said that Wei Yi was too worried.

One day, in the afternoon, Wu Chuan got up from his bed and looked around eagerly. However, there was no trace of Wei Yi.

He felt a little strange. Normally, the moment he woke up, he would see Wei Yi sitting at her bedside, reading a book or taking care of some matters. How was it today?

Wu Chuan thought to himself as he suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart. Since when did he actually rely so much on Wei Yi? She herself had not been able to detect anything at all.

Perhaps there was some extraordinary change in her heart towards Wei Yi, or perhaps it was because Wei Yi was considerately taking care of her.

Wu Chuan frowned and stopped thinking about it. He got up, lifted the blanket and limped over to the short end.

Just as his body was about to reach for the teacup, he almost lost his balance. Just then, a figure quickly came in through the door, and with a hug, he walked towards the bed.

"Ah!" Wangchuan gave a short cry of surprise when he saw Wei Yi's worried expression. He lectured her, "Why are you so careless? Didn't you say you had to be careful?"

Wu Chuan raised his head to refute his words, but when he saw the look of anxiety and anger in Wei Yi's eyes, he was momentarily speechless.
