Mu Liangze felt ashamed of his daughter's unreasonableness.

"You won't starve to death if you skip a meal! Your mother is so ill, and instead of caring for her, you come here to make trouble. You really don't know what you're talking about. Get out!"

Mu Baodi was so angry that her eyes turned red: "I am taking care of her? Are you sure? This woman is unworthy!"

Mu Liangze's face seemed to be peeled off and fell to the ground again and again. He could no longer hold back and slapped Mu Baodi in the face.

"Get out!"

"Listen carefully, no food is allowed to be sent to her yard. She will starve for three days first."

Mu Baodi's face was swollen and she was slapped by Mu Liangze again. It hurt so much that she covered her face and tried to speak but couldn't. Her face was full of anger and shock from being beaten.

Madam Mu was anxious: "Don't... don't hit the child!"

Before she could finish, she fainted again.

The room was in chaos.

Mu Baodi was crying and shouting. At this moment, a small figure ran in from outside and hit Mu Baodi in the stomach like a cannonball.

"You are not allowed to bully my mother, you are a bad sister!"

Mu Baodi was bumped unexpectedly and almost lost her balance. She looked down and saw a little boy. She was stunned for a moment and glared at him with gritted teeth.

The little boy looked about four or five years old, with a chubby face, his hands clenched, his big eyes full of anger as he stared at Mu Baodi.

While Yan Ruyu was taking Madam Mu's pulse, she looked at Madam Cao, who nodded.

She guessed correctly that the little boy was Mrs. Mu's son.

When Mu Liangze saw his son, his expression softened a little: "Xiaobao, stop making trouble."

Mu Xiaobao threw himself into Mu Liangze's arms: "Father, my sister is bullying mother again."

Mu Liangze sighed, stroked his head to comfort him, and barely suppressed his anger, looking at Mu Baodi: "Why don't you get out?"

Mu Baodi also didn't want to watch this scene of loving father and filial son, so she snorted and turned away.

As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the room improved a lot.

Yan Ruyu took back her hand: "Madam's condition has not worsened. She just fainted from anger. She will wake up soon."

"Commander Mu, you need to check what the princess just said. Madam Mu is not sick. She ate the wrong food. There is a food incompatibility or a medicinal incompatibility. It's best to check it out."

Mu Liangze was shocked: "How... how could this happen? What did she eat?"

Yan Ruyu said calmly: "It will be up to Admiral Mu to investigate. This princess doesn't know either."

Mu Liangze immediately looked at Nanny Wu, who was also in shock. She said in panic, "Incompatibility? What Madam had last night was no different from usual. This old servant personally went to the kitchen to bring the meal."

Mu Liangze frowned: "How could this happen?"

Madam Wu knelt down quickly: "I am guilty!"

"What's the point of just saying you're guilty? Go check it out." Mu Liangze shouted, "I really don't know what you can do next to the lady?"

Nanny Wu quickly stepped out and took people to the cook.

Mu Liangze said to Yan Ruyu again: "Princess, please help me treat my wife."

Yan Ruyu glanced at him, then looked at the unconscious Madam Mu: "Madam has suffered a lot. Find out what you have used wrongly. Just be more careful and don't use it again. This princess will tell Madam Wu to treat you according to the method."

"Thank you, Princess."

Madam Cao said, "Commander Mu, the princess doesn't see just anyone. Even ordinary doctors have to pay for their consultations."

Mu Liangze seemed to have just reacted and said quickly: "Yes, yes, Madam Cao is right. Don't worry, Princess, the consultation fee will definitely be high."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, and Mrs. Cao was not happy to hear this.

"What are you worried about, Princess? They didn't come here for your consultation fee, but for my face. You said this as if they are worried that you won't pay them."

Mu Liangze's face changed slightly, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I am not good at speaking, I hope the princess and the lady will bear with me."

Mrs. Cao rolled her eyes at him and was too lazy to argue with him anymore.

Yan Ruyu stopped talking and lowered her eyes as if thinking about something.

There was a moment of silence, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became awkward.

Mu Xiaobao walked to the bedside, looked at Mrs. Mu with a worried look, then tilted his head to look at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu met his gaze and smiled faintly.

Mu Xiaobao whispered, "Aunt Princess, when will my mother wake up?"

This title felt very fresh to Yan Ruyu. The fact that the child just defended his mother also made Yan Ruyu feel somewhat favorable towards him.

"He will wake up soon," Yan Ruyu said, "Are you worried about your mother?"

Mu Xiaobao nodded: "Yes, she works very hard and has to take medicine every night."

Yan Ruyu was puzzled: "Drink medicine?"

Mu Xiaobao frowned: "Yeah."

Mu Liangze was surprised: "Your mother takes medicine every night? How come I don't know?"

Mu Xiaobao blinked his eyes: "Father has seen it too, have you forgotten?"

Mu Liangze looked puzzled: "I have seen it?"

Mrs. Cao snorted, and Mu Liangze felt embarrassed again.

At this moment, Nanny Wu came back with a tray with half a bowl of soup on it.

"Princess, this is the leftover soup from last night. There is no more."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the soup, but couldn't see anything. It wasn't poisonous. There was only a little left, what could she see?

"I heard from the young master that Madam Mu has to drink medicine every night? What is it?"

Nanny Wu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Princess, that's not medicine, it's a medicated diet. Madam has been using that medicated diet since she gave birth to the little prince. It's been several years, and there has never been a problem."

Yan Ruyu said, "Bring the prescription here."

Nanny Wu quickly handed the tray to the maid behind her and went to get the prescription.

Yan Ruyu took a look at the recipe and said, "It is indeed a good medicinal recipe. However, this medicine is rare because its usage and dosage are very strict, and there are many herbs that counteract it."

"There are many alternative herbs for this herb, why do you use this one?"

Nanny Wu looked a little embarrassed and glanced at Mu Liangze out of the corner of her eye.

Madam Cao suddenly realized: "The princess asked you a question, why don't you answer it quickly! Do you still want to save your wife's life?"

Nanny Wu knelt down again and said, "Yes... because this medicine is cheap. It was originally other medicinal materials, but none of them were as cheap as this one. Madam said that this medicinal food will be used for a long time. Over the years, the cost will be high. If we can save a little, we can save a lot. So..."

Mu Liangze was also stunned: "What's going on? Is our Mu family still short of money for medicine?"

Nanny Wu lowered her head and said, "Master, you don't know that at that time, the eldest son had just arranged to get married and had to go to school, and the eldest daughter was about to get married. Madam didn't want to let the eldest daughter down, so she wanted to give her a generous dowry, and she calculated every ounce of silver very carefully..."

Mu Liangze's face turned pale and blue. He pointed at Nanny Wu and kept saying "you" for a long time, but couldn't say anything.

Yan Ruyu interrupted him: "Madam Wu, check the kitchen and see who has been near this medicinal food. The source should be here. Madam's body should not take this medicinal food for the time being."

"Fry the dried fruit I gave you as you did last time for a month, six times a day, and give it to Madam."
