It was the first time that Yun Shuo saw some resentment in his sister's maid's eyes.

Unease was spreading, and he was panicking uncontrollably.

When he opened the door, the somewhat gloomy atmosphere filled him.

His sister, the always lovely, innocent and naughty girl, was lying on the bed at this moment.

Yun Nian was covered with a thick quilt, her face was abnormally red, and she exhaled wisps of white air when she breathed.

He took two steps forward, half-knelt by the window, and tentatively put his hand on her forehead.

The scorching temperature immediately made his hands tremble.

"How did you take care of the young lady? She was fine when I left, why did she become like this now?"

He asked harshly, but Qiulan, who was waiting on the side, raised her head.

"How did she become like this? Sir, isn't it because of you that the young lady became like this?"

"Qiulan!"

Chunyu was startled and immediately knelt down, pulling her along.

"Chun Yu, don't stop me. Even if I die today, I will still speak up for the young lady!"

Her eyes were stubborn and filled with tears.

"Everyone was concerned about my cousin after she fell into the water, but did anyone notice that she had caught a cold and had been ill for a while."

"On the first day after you left, the young lady had a fever that wouldn't go away. Ordinary doctors were of no use at all. I thought if the young master was here, I could ask for the imperial physician."

"But who would have thought——"

She stretched out her words. Yun Fang and his wife were just entering the room.

"But who would have thought that the master didn't believe it. If it weren't for the timely arrival of Imperial Doctor He, I really don't know if Miss..."

As she spoke, she began to sob and cry, causing the prime minister and his wife, who came behind her, to turn pale and green in the face.

"Where's the butler? Why doesn't he report it? Luo Yi, get in here!"

The housekeeper who had just heard the news came over, and when he saw Yun Shuo's face and the seriously ill lady on the bed, his heart skipped a beat.

"I can't even take care of the affairs in the mansion, what else do you want me to do?"

This was the first time he saw the young master so angry. Even when he was a child and the young lady tore up his homework, he had never been so angry.

"Sir, I, I thought it was just the young lady being naughty."

"Boom!"

Yun Shuo kicked Luo Yi hard, causing him to fall over and crash into a pillar nearby.

"How dare you use your dog mouth to accuse Miss of the word naughty? Dad, it seems that it's time to replace your subordinates."

Liu Shulan walked a few steps quickly and sat beside the bed, holding Yun Nian's head in her arms, tears falling from her eyes.

"She's really sick, she's sick!"

At this moment, all her gentleness and grace disappeared. The Prime Minister's wife was like a mother beast whose child had been taken away, baring her ferocious fangs at the people around her.

"Yun Fang! You said you wanted to let her grow up, and I agreed with you. You said having a younger sister would make her more sensible, and I agreed with you, too. But look at what you've made of her now. I'm afraid she'll leave me before she grows up!"

She gently rubbed Yun Nian's head, shedding tears of regret.

"I don't know, I don't know why she would become like this. She used to be in good health, why would she..."

"That's enough... Dad, Mom, let's go out and let our sister have a good rest. What if we disturb her?"

Yun Shuo had a gloomy face, and his eyes swept fiercely over Luo Yi.

He listened to his father's words and tried to use Yun Jiao to let her know how empty love was, and tried to let her know that only when she was strong could she not be afraid of any difficulties.

But how could he forget that Sisi was brought up by them since she was a child, and she didn't understand the evil of human nature, nor the cunning of villains. He tried to use the extreme gap to make her realize that she had to grow up quickly.

But everyone was pushing her, everyone was blaming her. Without anyone to teach her, how could she know what was the right thing to do?

"The imperial physician said that the young lady is depressed and overly worried..."

She is just a young girl, how can she have so many sorrows?

He should have realized long ago that choosing to use Yun Jiao to help her grow was a wrong decision.

Yun Nian fell into painful memories. She was forced to recall all the painful things she had experienced time and time again. She wished she could die immediately.

But in despair, someone also covered her eyes.

"Don't look, don't listen, this is all fake."

She held the jade pendant tightly in her hand, and the pain gradually receded like the tide.

……

"You lie down, she lies down, I don't know how long my old bones can hold on."

He Yanchang looked at the slender man with a bad temper. His upper body was naked, and his abdomen was wrapped in a white cloth, revealing a little blood.

His eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and the pain made his expression uneasy.

"Okay, if you don't wake up, Bai Ju won't be able to hold on any longer. He's been trembling with fear pretending to be you, and he comes to me to cry every day."

But the man on the bed still didn't respond.

"By the way, the same goes for your little girl. If you die, I won't save her."

Wei Qingjue suddenly opened his eyes and clamped the old doctor's neck with his hands.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Wei Qingjue blinked twice, and finally regained consciousness.

He was poisoned and injured, then ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion. What happened next?

He Yanchang patted his clothes in annoyance and taunted him sarcastically.

"Oh, you don't wake up when I tell you that Baiju is not good at acting, but you wake up when I tell you that your sweetheart."

"What sweetheart? Don't talk nonsense."

Wei Qingjue picked up the clothes beside him and put them on. His fingertips seemed to feel the gentle touch. He remembered that Yun Nian had helped him cover his tracks. Her breathing was hot, as if she had a fever. That’s why he asked the imperial physician to come over.

He didn't know if he was scared by himself, but he frowned. She should be much better now. If so, they would be even.

"You guys are just being stubborn and still say you're not my sweetheart."

He Yanchang muttered to himself, with an indignant look on his face.

He picked up a herbal medicine and suddenly slapped his head.

"Oh no, that girl is not well yet, I have to go and deliver the medicine!"

Not okay yet?

The man in the singlet was lost in thought, and waved his hand to call for his secret guards.

"Bai Ju, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and take a look."

……

Yun Nian suddenly opened her eyes. She just felt that the crying sound beside her ears was too loud, so she woke up all of a sudden.

Liu Shulan leaned over the bed, revealing her cheeks which already had fine lines.

Yes, mother, why are you here?

She stretched out her hand in a daze.
