Mrs. Guan was worried that the Old Madam and the Commandery Princess might have objections.
Xie Yunzhen must have said something to them, as no one came to make trouble.
Thus, Ji Mingzhu was settled in the East Courtyard.
She was seriously injured and needed to recuperate in peace. Besides the gold and the doctor, Mrs. Guan forbade anyone else from disturbing Ji Mingzhu.
Understanding the Old Madam's intentions, she knew the elder did not want Mingzhu to have close interactions with the young men of the family.
Mrs. Guan didn't send anyone to the outskirts to inform Xie Yunxuan.
Better to have less trouble than more; the most important thing now was for Mingzhu to recover.
After three days of unconsciousness, Ji Mingzhu slowly awoke.
"Gold..."
She was too weak, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.
The room was silent. In the flickering candlelight, a tall figure loomed and approached her.
It was a man's silhouette.
