Although Miss Qin had only lifted the corner of her dress slightly, Gu Beiyue gave it a few more glances before asking, "Did the princess bandage this for you?"
Gu Beiyue had personally witnessed the princess apply medicine and bandage the wounds after detoxifying them with needles. He had even helped out before. This method of bandaging was very special. It was both firm and did not require too many layers, which would damage the skin. This was the princess' unique way of bandaging wounds.
Before Qin Min could answer, Gu Beiyue asked again, "You were poisoned?"
Only then did Qin Min tell him the details. Gu Beiyue was indeed shocked, but he was not overjoyed. At least, Qin Min did not see any joy on his face.
Qin Min could not help but explain, "Dean Beiyue, I said this matter was related to you because … if I can stand up, no one will say you married a cripple."
"Miss Qin, are other people's opinions that important?" Gu Beiyue asked in return.
"It wasn't important before, but it is now. After all, I've taken on the title of dean's wife. "Qin Min was very honest.
Gu Beiyue asked again, "Even I don't mind, so why do you care what other people think?"
Qin Min was speechless. She did not see his surprise, so she asked again, "Isn't this good news?"
"It's time. Let's change the bandages first. We'll talk later," Gu Beiyue said indifferently.
Qin Min thought he would call the nurse over to help, but instead he said to her, "Miss Qin, I'll have to be rude again."
"B- you can call the nurse over. I know how to change the bandages. I'll just explain it to her." Qin Min grew nervous.
Only then did Gu Beiyue smile. "I've dismissed all the servants. It's just you and me in this courtyard tonight."
Only then did Qin Min remember it was their wedding night. It really was inconvenient to call the servant girl back at a time like this. It would even raise suspicions.
"Then I- I'll do it myself," she said quietly. She did not even dare to look at Gu Beiyue.
She was different from Han Yunxi. In Han Yunxi's eyes, there was not much difference between genders in front of doctors. However, Qin Min was a lady from a noble family, so she was still very wary of it.
Although Gu Beiyue had seen her leg before, seeing and applying medicine were two different things!
"Infected with poison? Not good, I don't have an antidote. Why don't you close your eyes? It'll be fine in a while. "Gu Beiyue said seriously.
He clearly knew her taboo, but why couldn't she see the slightest bit of awkwardness in his calm and serious eyes?
Qin Min's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. Perhaps she was overthinking things?
Gu Beiyue was so calm that he was almost emotionless. His heart must be open. As long as one's heart was open, nothing would be awkward, right? Just like when he hugged her just now, her heart was about to jump out of her chest, but he pushed her away so calmly and only said, "Excuse me."
On the other hand, was she not open enough, or did she have some expectations in her heart?
Qin Min did not dare to keep thinking. She had always known what kind of person Gu Beiyue was. Their marriage was nothing more than an agreement.
"Then I'll have to trouble Academy Head Beiyue. The medicine the princess left is in the drawer on the side." She also became polite and closed her eyes at his words.
Gu Beiyue fetched the medicine and gauze, then placed her legs on the chair. He carefully lifted up her skirt, stopping at her knees.
She only heard Gu Beiyue say, "It really is the princess's handiwork." Then she felt him remove the gauze on her leg.
Not long after, she didn't feel much movement, nor did she feel his hand touch her leg. The entire piece of gauze was lifted.
What nimble movements! It should be very similar to the princess's.
The room was so quiet that she, who was already a little nervous, gradually became nervous. After all, she was facing Gu Beiyue!
She felt like she still had to say something to divert his attention.
She said, "Academy Head Beiyue, your bandaging technique and …"
Before she could finish, Gu Beiyue actually grabbed her calf with one hand and lifted her leg slightly.
Heavens!
Qin Min secretly sucked in a breath of cold air. An indescribable numbness spread from her calf. She could not help but open her eyes.
Only to see …
But she saw him lowering his head, with a serious and focused face, using the medicine to wipe off the remnants of the medicine on her legs. He did not know that she had already opened her eyes, nor did he know how flustered her heart was at this moment.
After wiping off the medicine, he gently smeared it on her leg and got used to it. When his fingers brushed against her skin, Qin Min clearly trembled.
She quickly closed her eyes and forced herself to hold back. Calm down!
He was so pure, yet she was so flustered. She was too ashamed to show her face.
Gu Beiyue was such a meticulous person! He naturally sensed Qin Min's discomfort and awkwardness.
After bandaging her leg, he immediately stood up and explained, "Tonight was too special. I've offended you. I'll arrange for a trusted aide to take care of you tomorrow. "
In other words, there wouldn't be a next time.
Qin Min didn't dare to raise her head. "Oh."
Gu Beiyue cleaned up and washed his hands before sitting in front of Qin Min. He sat on the chair. He hadn't sat on the bed even once since he left.
Applying medicine was something that was unavoidable. But he was even more particular about etiquette than Qin Min!
He sighed softly. "I was careless. I should've let the princess examine you earlier. Even if the wedding was delayed by a day, it would've been fine! "
Qin Min didn't say anything.
However, Gu Beiyue said very seriously, "Miss Qin, I … I'm afraid I'm going to ruin your life." If he knew Qin Min's leg could be cured, he wouldn't have married her.
Now that he had married her, if he divorced her, who would dare to marry her? Who would be willing to marry her? The status of the dean's wife was too special.
If he didn't divorce her, wouldn't an outstanding woman like Qin Min spend her life with him? Once her leg was cured, with her family background, beauty, and talent, wouldn't she be able to pick any of the young talents in Medical City?
Qin Min understood what he meant. She didn't know why, but when she looked at this gentle and quiet man, she felt a faint sadness in her heart.
She couldn't help but ask, "Dean Beiyue, why are you giving up on the marriage? Is there someone you want to marry in your heart, but can't? Is it that woman you admire? "
Gu Beiyue didn't answer her. Instead, he asked, "Miss Qin, tell me … what should you do?"
"Unless you don't want me anymore! Otherwise, I'll marry you and be your wife forever! Our agreement will always be valid, "Qin Min said quickly.
"You …"
Qin Min interrupted Gu Beiyue. "You're not me. How do you know I'll ruin my life if I marry you? Dean Beiyue, there's someone I want to marry in my heart, but I can't. I'm the same as you. My heart can't hold anyone else. It's pretty good for us to live together. You can't go back on your word, or I'll … "
Qin Min lowered her voice and warned, "Otherwise, I'll tell … about the child adoption!"
"Who do you want to marry?" Gu Beiyue wasn't interested in her threats. For once, he was curious about her private matters.
"Tell me who you want to marry, and I'll tell you who I want to marry." Qin Min snickered. Her eyes were playful, making her look very cute and sly.
Gu Beiyue still avoided this question. He stood up and said seriously, "Miss Qin, if you regret it one day, you can leave at any time. I, Gu Beiyue, have wronged you, but I won't treat you unfairly. If you have any requests, feel free to tell me. "
A trace of disappointment flitted through Qin Min's eyes. She smiled faintly. "Dean Beiyue is a man of his word. Qin Min will remember."
"It's getting late. Go rest. There's no one in the courtyard tonight. I'll be in the study next door. Just call me if you need anything, "Gu Beiyue said indifferently.
Qin Min nodded.
Gu Beiyue was about to leave when he looked back and asked, "Miss Qin, who poisoned you?"
"The person who poisoned you must be in the Qin family. As for whether they're from the Qin family, that's hard to say. I'll go back in a wheelchair tomorrow. I'll keep this a secret for now and let my father and mother make the decision. "Qin Min had already made up her mind.
This was exactly what Gu Beiyue admired the most about Qin Min. She was sensible and knew when to stop.
Although this was a family matter of the Qin family, Qin Min was now confirmed to be the dean's wife. If this matter was exposed rashly, someone with ulterior motives would definitely make use of it and cause even more trouble for the Qin family.
If the person who poisoned you was from the Qin family, not only would the Qin family lose face, but the Qin family's relatively stable situation would also be disrupted. If the Qin family fell into chaos, the Ren family would be happy.
If the person who poisoned you was not from the Qin family, but a spy, then they definitely had other motives. They had to be careful.
Although Qin Min was involved, the Qin family was still the one most affected by this matter. In the end, it was up to the head of the Qin family to make the decision and deal with it.
"Oh right, Gu's gift for you is over there," Qin Min reminded him.
Only then did Gu Beiyue remember this matter. He took the brocade box and opened it to take a look. His expression clearly froze.
Qin Min looked at him suspiciously and asked jokingly, "I heard that Gu is an extraordinary person. His gift must be extraordinary, right?"
"Yes, it's … it's alright." Gu Beiyue finished speaking and left.
"What gift?" Qin Min muttered to herself.
She was not very curious and was just asking casually. Looking at the closed door, she felt a little empty in her heart. She did not know why.
She suddenly remembered that she had not asked Gu Beiyue how he knew about her liking forsythia flowers. She wanted to chase after him and ask, but she could not walk, so she could only give up.
After Gu Beiyue entered the study, he hid the brocade box in the cupboard. He shook his head helplessly. "Xiao Qi, this fellow!"
He had been busy the whole day and drank a lot of wine. He was also tired. He lay down on the warm couch and soon saw the little thing that had been missing for a few days hanging upside down on the roof beam. It was wagging its tail and brandishing its claws at him. He did not know if it was angry or excited.
The Princess had been here for a few days and looked for the little thing, but this fellow did not show up. Tonight, it was finally willing to come out.
Seeing that the little thing did not come down after a long time, Gu Beiyue retracted his gaze and rested one hand on the back of his head.
This time, the little thing swooped down and landed in his arms, squeaking non-stop.
The little thing was excited!
It was angry for a few days and secretly watched him for a long time. Only today did it know who he was going to marry.
It was hiding on the roof beam in the bridal room just now. It did not know what it was going to do or what it could do. But who knew that Young Master actually left after helping Eldest Miss Qin change her dressing.
At that moment, it almost cried. So Young Master's marriage was fake!
The little thing did not cry just now, but at this moment, it was buried in Young Master's arms, and its eyes were red …
