Chapter 210 Ask her to take care of you
When Tian Tian finally saw Ling Yao's figure clearly, a faint smile appeared on her face, which made Ling Yao feel a little more at ease.
"Ling Yao." Her voice was weak, like a sob in the wind, "How did it go?"
She sat up, slowly got out of bed, and went to the prison gate.
In Ling Yao's view, she was very weak and her body was about to collapse.
Ling Yao looked at the jailer and pointed to the door.
The jailer thought for a moment before opening the cell door...
Ling Yao rushed in and reached out to support Tian Tian, letting her lean slightly against him.
Tian Tian was somewhat surprised and tried to get out of his arms.
But Ling Yao wouldn't allow it...
Tian Tian asked, puzzled, "I'm fine, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Yao gently shook his head.
"Are you alright?" Tian Tian sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Ling Yao shook his head again.
Tian Tian frowned, staring at him, "You..."
Ling Yao pointed to his throat...
Tian Tian's expression changed, "Your throat..."
His pupils brightened slightly. "Your throat is hoarse? You can't make a sound?"
Ling Yao nodded.
"What do you mean he's mute? He's injured and can't speak." Li Huaiyuan's voice came from outside.
Tian Tian was stunned and asked incredulously, "Was it because I hit the back of the head?"
Li Huaiyuan approached the two men and said, "Not bad."
"Tian Zhigao hit him on the back of the head, and the doctor said there was bruising, so he can't speak for the time being."
"When can we recover?" Tian Tian asked anxiously.
His identity... if he can't speak...
Tian Tian felt deeply guilty, and her eyes were filled with bitterness.
"The doctor said it could be as early as three months, or as late as... I don't know." Li Huaiyuan glanced at Ling Yao, clearly disagreeing.
Tian Tian paused slightly, looked up at Ling Yao, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Li Huaiyuan sighed softly, "Miss Tian, Heming is injured and needs someone to take care of him..."
"The county government is all men; there are no women to show compassion. His injury is partly your fault..."
"Why don't you ask Miss Tian Er to spend more time taking good care of Heming?"
Tian Tian was unaware of the problem in Li Huaiyuan's words.
What do you mean by saying that the county government is all men? Wouldn't it be more convenient for men to take care of men?
Besides, there's Madam Li at the county government office.
But because she felt guilty, she agreed without thinking.
"it is good!"
"Then... don't stay in jail, go back to your room." Li Huaiyuan said this to Ling Yao.
As for Tian Tian, "Second Miss, your family must be very worried about you. I will send someone to take you back. You... change your clothes, get a good night's sleep, and come to the county office tomorrow."
Ling Yao nodded to her.
She's been scratching herself; she must have been bitten by insects.
"My lord," Tian Tian called out to Li Huaiyuan.
"I didn't expect things to turn out this way..." she said apologetically.
Li Huaiyuan didn't say anything, just said, "Let's go back."

As night deepened, Tian Tian finally saw her own front door.
The lantern at the door gave her a sense of comfort and warmth.
"Second Miss?!" The gatekeeper, both surprised and sleepy, shouted loudly towards the front yard, "Second Miss is back!"
Soon, hurried footsteps came from the front yard.
Tian Tian had just stepped across the threshold.
"Sweetie!" Lu Tao's voice came right in front of her.
She grabbed Tian Tian's hand and looked her up and down. "Tian Tian, are you alright? Were you scared? Are you hurt?"
Her voice trembled, and her eyes were slightly red.
At the same time, a weight was finally lifted from my shoulders.
"Mother, I'm fine." Tian Tian looked back and saw Liu San Niang, Qin Youyou, Tian Xiang, and even Tian Jinghe.
Everyone is worried.
"Why aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"
Liu San Niang murmured with relief, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"It really scared us."
"Come in quickly."
She started making arrangements, "Youyou, go prepare hot water for your second sister, she should take a bath quickly to get rid of the bad luck."
Tian Xiang went with Qin Youyou, saying, "I'll go help."
Tian Jinghe hugged Tian Tian's leg, sobbing and unable to speak.
"I'm fine now." Tian Tian gently patted Tian Jinghe's head. "Jinghe, go to sleep. You have to go to school tomorrow."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The family accompanied Tian Tian back to her courtyard.
Everyone gathered around her, asking about her condition, their eyes filled with concern.
Tian Tian put Jing He, who had relaxed and fallen asleep, on the bed before turning to look at her family.
"I'm alright now..."
"It's just that Young Master Ling's injuries are quite serious."
Liu San Niang held Tian Tian's hand and asked, "Just who is this Young Master Ling?"
"He was injured, and Lord Li even arrested you."
Tian Tian let out a breath; she was still a little dazed...
Ling Yao's identity...
Looking at her family, she could only say, "Young Master Ling's identity is special, and the Tian family this time..."
"The odds are against us."
To plot against His Highness the Crown Prince is punishable by death, and may even involve the execution of nine generations of one's family.
However, since Ling Yao was traveling incognito, the Tian family did not know his identity, so they should appropriately reduce his punishment.
But in any case, exile was inevitable.
Fortunately, they had severed all ties with their relatives, so the exile was none of their concern.
"Mother, Aunt Liu, if anyone from the Tian family comes looking for us recently, do not see them!"
"If necessary, report it directly to the authorities!"
Lu Tao and Liu San Niang nodded. "We understand."
"And what about you, Tian Tian...?"
Tian Tian felt an itch all over her body. She moved her shoulders and said, "I...I need to go to the county government office to take care of Young Master Ling."
Tian Xiang and Qin Youyou brought hot water.
"Mom, Aunt Liu, let Tian Tian take a bath first. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Tian Xiang quickly poured hot water into the bathtub, then added cold water to adjust the temperature to a comfortable level.
"Tian Tian, come quickly and soak in the water to get rid of the cold and change your clothes."
"I also brought some anti-itch cream."
Tian Tian looked at Tian Xiang gratefully. Her body was so itchy that if there weren't other people around, she would have liked to take off her clothes and scratch herself properly.
Upon entering the inner room, a wave of hot steam hits you.
A few flower petals were scattered in the bathwater, carrying a faint fragrance.
Tian Tian took off her clothes, stepped into the water, closed her eyes, and felt the soothing effect of the water flow.
At this moment, she felt extremely at ease.
Fortunately, Ling Yao was not in mortal danger; otherwise, she would never have peace of mind for the rest of her life.
Tian Tian relaxed her body and began to feel slightly drowsy.
In this tranquility, her thoughts drifted away quietly...
Ling Yao.
He couldn't speak in the cell just now, but his eyes were filled with urgency.
His momentary loss of composure led him to pull her into his arms.
At that moment, his warmth enveloped her, making her realize that his concern for her seemed to go beyond that of a friend.
His eyes held emotions she had never seen in her family.
What exactly is this emotion?
Tian Tian's eyelids trembled slightly, and she felt a little flustered.
Could it be something she wouldn't even dare to imagine?
