'In the future Tu Yun will be living here,' Dong Fang Ao said. 'Big sister-in-law, Tu Yun is still weak. I'll take her back to her bedchamber to rest.'

Dong Fang Ao held Tao Tu Yun's hand and he glared at Luo Bing Liang for putting Tao Tu Yun's health at risk.

'Xiao Cheng, look at your second master Dong Fang Ao ,' Luo Bing Liang said. 'Now his eyes can only see Tu Yun. He even glared at me for inviting Tu Yun outside for fresh air. Should I tell your first master Dong Fang Ling that your second master Dong Fang Ao disrespected me?'

Xiao Cheng was stuck in the middle between Luo Bing Liang and Dong Fang Ao.

'Mistress, if you tell first master Dong Fang Ling, he'll say that you shouldn't interfere in second master Dong Fang Ao's business,' Xiao Cheng said. 'Besides, isn't second master Dong Fang Ao falling for lady Tao what you wanted?'

'I changed my mind,' Luo Bing Liang said. 'Your second master Dong Fang Ao doesn't deserve a good woman like Tu Yun. I regret helping him pursue Tu Yun.'

'Mistress, I should take you back to first master Dong Fang Ling,' Xiao Cheng said. 'First master Dong Fang Ling will worry if mistress is outside too long.'

'Alright,' Luo Bing Liang said. 'Let's go.'

Xiao Cheng helped Luo Bing Liang stand, and Luo Bing Liang winked at Tao Tu Yun.

Tao Tu Yun sighed. She understood Luo Bing Liang left to give her and Dong Fang Ao privacy.

'Why aren't you coming with me to your bedchamber?' Dong Fang Ao asked.

Dong Fang Ao hated Tao Tu Yun keeping her distance from him.

'It's rude of us to walk away from Bing Liang,' Tao Tu Yun said.

'I shouldn't let you spend too much time with big sister-in-law,' Dong Fang Ao whispered in Tao Tu Yun's ear.

Dong Fang Ao enclosed Tao Tu Yun's hands in his hands and he blew hot air onto her hands.

'You're too close,' Tao Tu Yun said.

'You're still sick,' Dong Fang Ao said. 'You shouldn't be outside for too long.'

Dong Fang Ao kissed Tao Tu Yun's hands and she blushed.

A maid coughed awkwardly and Tao Tu Yun felt like Dong Fang Ao putting her in a compromising position ruined her reputation.

Tao Tu Yun hid her face on Dong Fang Ao's chest. She hoped in vain that the maid didn't recognise her.

Dong Fang Ao smiled at Tao Tu Yun's failed attempt at hiding herself. Anyone of his servants could recognise Tao Tu Yun's hair style. He felt it was natural for him to kiss her and hug her in front of people.

'I'll take you back to your bedchamber,' Dong Fang Ao said.

Dong Fang Ao wrapped an arm around Tao Tu Yun's shoulder and escorted her back to her bedchamber. He took no notice of Li Tai Feng who was glaring in their direction from a distance.

A couple of days later, Tao Tu Yun sat next to her open bedchamber window and let the breezes into her bedchamber. She didn't feel the cold.

'Mistress, why did you open the window?' Su Wu asked. 'What if you catch another cold?'

Su Wu closed the window. She helped Tao Tu Yun sit on the bed, draped a blanket around Tao Tu Yun's shoulders and put a cup of warm tea in Tao Tu Yun's cold hands.

Tao Tu Yun stared blankly at the cup of tea in her hands.

'Mistress, the last couple of days you haven't been yourself,' Su Wu said. 'Does it have anything to do with second master Dong Fang Ao?'
