♂?,,
Lin Lan was passing by when Ye Xiang'er was leaning against the car window, spitting out yellow water, and listening to her voice was very painful. Ding Mama kept rubbing her back and helping her catch her breath, saying pitifully: "It's only the first day and she's already vomiting like this... how can we go on..."
Zhou's mother ordered someone to bring some ginger slices for Ye Xiang'er to suck on, but when Ye Xiang'er smelled the ginger, she vomited even more severely.
"This won't work...!" Mama Ding was getting anxious and wished she could suffer on behalf of her mistress.
Lin Lan saw a group of people surrounding Ye Xiang'er in a state of disarray, so she spoke up: "Everyone scatter! Let Second Miss get some air."
Everyone turned around and looked at Lin Lan, but no one moved.
Lin Lan frowned: "We're surrounding her like this, she can't breathe in fresh air, it will only make her feel more uncomfortable."
"Everyone step back a bit, Young Madam has studied the art of Qi Huang, listen to what Young Madam says, it's not wrong." With that, she led the way and dispersed.
Lin Lan walked over, took a look at the vomit on the ground, and calmly said, "Who's going to get a bowl of clear water?"
At this moment, a maid volunteered and said: "I'll go get it."
"Mother Ding, make way first." Lin Lan got on the horse carriage and asked Mother Ding to give up her seat.
Ding's mother handed over the weak and limp Ye Xiang'er, who had already vomited, to Lin Lan with suspicion.
Lin Lan had Ye Xiang'er rest her head on her lap, and she pressed Ye Xiang'er's Neiguan acupoint with her index and middle fingers while asking Ding Mama: "Did the second young lady also ride a carriage before?"
"Yes! I used to get carsick too, but not as bad as this time." said Ding's mom.
It's almost there~"
A maid suddenly asked: "How did Young Mistress know Miss had eaten sweets?"
Lin Lan smiled: "Just look at the vomit on the ground, mung bean soup has a cooling effect, but it's too sweet, which is counterproductive. Besides, don't eat it in the carriage."
That maid looked at Lin Lan with three parts surprise and seven parts admiration, thinking to herself: This young mistress is really amazing, she actually knows everything.
After a while, Ye Xiang'er finally calmed down and weakly said: "Sister-in-law, I've troubled you."
Lin Lan smiled indifferently: "It's just a small effort, in the future when taking a car ride if you feel dizzy, press this acupoint to relieve dizziness, but the best way is still to close your eyes and rest, if you can sleep then take a nap."
The maid brought back the water, and Lin Lan let Ye Xiang'er drink it, saying: "Hold on a little longer, we're not far from the town ahead, Brother said we'll be staying in the town tonight."
Ye Xiner's face was pale and sickly, with a pitiful expression. She apologized: "It's all my fault for being useless and delaying Brother Biao's journey."
"It's not anyone's fault, no one wants to get sick." Lin Lan smiled and led Xing Liu back to her own carriage.
"Mrs. Ye is really formidable." Yexi'er's maid Lingyin whispered in admiration.
Ye Xiner furrowed her brow, gazing at Lin Lan's back, her eyes complex and chilly.
Li Mingyun and others stood beside the car, saw her return, and asked: "Is your cousin better?"
"It should be fine now." Lin Lan looked at him with a hint of worry in his eyes, not knowing whether he was worried about Ye Xiang's physical condition or afraid that Ye Xiang would get carsick and delay their journey, so she added: "When we arrive at the town ahead, I'll go to the pharmacy and buy some calming medicine. Let's just get there first."
Li Mingyun nodded: "It's hard work."
Arrived at the front small town, early had servants arranged a good inn, everyone settled down, after dinner, Lin Lan went to find a drugstore, Li Ming allowed to take care of everyone inconvenient to leave, let Wen Shan followed Lin Lan.
The calming medicine wasn't some rare or precious thing, it could be found in any ordinary pharmacy. Lin Lan bought a large quantity of it, guessing that more people would need it after boarding the ship. She also bought some dried tangerine peel and vinegar. The medicine wasn't heavy, but it took up a lot of space. Wen Shan's big hands were full, so he had to hang some around his neck as well, looking like a clumsy Christmas tree, which was quite comical. Yin Liu and Lin Lan couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle.
As soon as she returned to the inn, Lin Lan rushed into her own room and threw herself onto the big bed, heavily burying her face in the quilt, lamenting: "I'm exhausted..."
She really wanted to call Yurong to give herself a back massage, but Yurong had always kept her distance and didn't dare to call. Xinyu was close to her, but she was also tired and even more embarrassed to ask. As she hesitated, a clear voice asked: "Want me to help rub it for you?"
Lin Lan was startled and quickly sat up, but saw Li Mingyu sitting on the opposite side of the couch, looking at her with a faint smile, his eyes appearing even softer under the dim candlelight.
"...... how did I end up here?" Lin Lan was somewhat bewildered, looking around, had she entered the wrong room? The decorations in these guest rooms were all similar.
"This is my room, I'm naturally here." Li Mingyu closed the book he was reading, one hand on the small table and the other on his bent knee, his body slightly leaning back, his posture casual yet elegant, smiling at her.
Uh...... Lin Lan was greatly embarrassed, and indeed she had walked into the wrong room.
Lin Lan felt embarrassed in her heart, but on the surface she didn't reveal a bit, muttering softly: "It's really annoying, all these rooms look exactly the same." She said and quickly walked out.
"Where are you going?" Li Mingyu called out to her.
"I'm going back to my own room!"
Li Mingyun smiled slightly, got up from the couch and walked to Lin Lan's face, smiling faintly: "You should know that since leaving Ye Fu, we are officially husband and wife in other people's eyes, cooperate with me from tonight."
Lin Lan was somewhat at a loss: "But the capital is still far away!"
She naturally knew she had to cooperate with him as a fake couple and living under the same roof was necessary, but this wasn't in the capital city.
"Acting must be realistic, now except for Zhou Ma's understanding, even Yin Liu and Yu Rong are unaware of it. I have to remind you that the clever one in Beijing will see through our act if she notices anything suspicious." Li Ming Yan warned solemnly.
It's not easy to deceive Silver Willow and Jade Face, who are serving by her side. Lin Lan looked at the bed and suddenly realized that she had been ignoring a very serious problem all along - sleeping in the same bed, who could guarantee that this guy wouldn't go wild one day? Wouldn't she end up losing both her body and her army?
Li Mingyun seemed to see through her concerns and said, "Don't worry, I specifically asked Xiao Er to add a Rohan bed in the house. From now on, it will be like this: you sleep on the bed, I sleep on the couch. In the evening, I also instructed them not to let anyone else serve us, saying that we don't like outsiders in the room... Besides..." Li Mingyun paused, looking her up and down with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and said slowly, "I'm right, I have no interest."
Lin Lan felt humiliated, a man saying he's not interested is the greatest humiliation to a woman. Banana peel, you're not interested in me? I'm even less interested! Who knows if you're just a silver-plated gun head, looks good but useless.
Lin Lan looked him up and down with an even more disdainful gaze, then nodded knowingly with a sly smile on her face, saying: "I understand, it's good that we're just fake spouses, so... no way, it has nothing to do with me, but! People have their own problems, it's better to treat them early, don't be afraid of doctors, otherwise your future wife will be neglected and cry every day, this is very immoral."
Li Ming said this to make her feel at ease, but unexpectedly, the woman suspected that he was impotent. His face suddenly turned red with anger, and there was no way to argue about such a thing, feeling suffocated in his heart.
"Alright, I'm tired too, go rest early." Li Mingyan's face turned cold as he turned around and continued reading his book.
Lin Lan rolled her eyes at his back, who asked him to humiliate me first?
Lin Lan went to wash up, got into bed and pulled down the curtains. She had just taken off her outer clothes and lay down to sleep. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't fall asleep. There was still a man sitting outside the curtains! This feeling was really too strange. Thinking that for over a thousand nights in the future, she would have to share a room with this man, Lin Lan felt extremely conflicted.
"Hey! Turn the pages more quietly, you're disturbing me." Lin Lan grumbled discontentedly.
Outside, there was a moment of silence, and the sound of turning pages was no longer heard. Lin Lan curiously peeked through the mosquito net and vaguely saw him slowly turning the pages like a slow-motion camera, his expression focused, occasionally picking up his pen to make annotations. This guy really worked hard, Lin Lan's vigilance gradually relaxed, and she actually felt tired, and couldn't help but fall asleep.
Li Mingyu read until the third watch, then closed his book, rubbed his tired eyes, and prepared to sleep. Suddenly, he realized that he had forgotten to bring over the quilt. He had specifically instructed Xia'er to prepare an extra quilt because he was afraid Yu Rong would suspect something if he brought it in himself. As a result, he had left the quilt on the bed earlier, but in his anger with Lin Lan, he had forgotten about it. Now, the person inside the mosquito net was breathing steadily and had fallen asleep. He couldn't very well lift the net and get in, or she might wake up and think he was trying to take advantage of her. Li Mingyu sighed silently, this being his first time in such a situation, without experience. It seemed that tonight he would have to sleep in his clothes. Fortunately, it wasn't too cool at this time of year.
