Hongze was rushing home at this moment, his eyes were red and his fists were clenched.

He was supposed to go out of town on business today, but he heard from his colleagues who were going out of town together that the wife of the Marquis of Anyuan brought a group of women from the Hong family to his house to humiliate his wife. That person was used to changing his attitude according to the situation. He knew that he and the Marquis of Anyuan were not on good terms, and seeing that he was rarely so concerned about one thing, he simply exaggerated and said something even more excessive.

Hongze immediately handed over the task to his assistant and returned to the city. When he returned to the gate of Mingxiangju, he ran into Jinyun and Jinliu who had rushed over after hearing the news.

The memories of his youth overlapped with the rumors of today, and he felt furious and anxious, wishing he could rush into the Earl's mansion and kill the man as soon as possible.

Also coming here were Jinyun and Jinliu.

The three of them arrived home and everything was normal.

Anan was studying the accounts with his head down, concentrating on it. His face was ruddy, his eyes were lively, he looked in a good mood, and he was grinning from time to time. He was not as seriously ill as the rumors said, with only a few weak breaths left.

Without caring about anything else, he quickly stepped forward, pulled her up from the chair, and looked her over and over. Seeing that she was not injured, the anxiety in his heart eased a little, but he was still a little frightened, so he asked her, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Yes, I have!" She nodded, pointed at her eyes, and answered him, "I put too much menthol on the handkerchief, and my eyes still hurt a little now!"

His heart was already in suspense because of her, and when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but knock her on the head.

"There's more!" Anan looked at him with a pout again.

He immediately became nervous again and asked hurriedly, "Where?"

"I was in such a hurry that I couldn't even find some hawthorn syrup, so I took some rouge water. Even though I vomited it all out, I still took a big gulp. Now every time I burp I smell the floral scent. It's so uncomfortable." Anan smiled, snuggled into his arms, and wrapped his arms tightly around his waist.

Hongze hugged her tightly in his arms and let out a long sigh. He felt angry and amused at the same time and couldn't help but reach out to pinch his face.

"Well! I worried for nothing!" Jin Liu looked at the two people's affectionate appearance, pursed his lips and shook his head, "To be honest, this Madam An Si is really a powerful character. She is like a little lamb in the house, acting coquettishly and arrogantly. Even a stubborn person like Hong Ze can't stand it. If she is released outside, she will be an extremely cunning little fox. No one can take advantage of her!"

Jinyun silently put down the medicine box on his shoulder, looked at the scene of the two people hugging each other in front of him, felt extremely bitter in his heart, and sat down dejectedly on the bench in the corridor.

Although she only wanted to stay with Hongze, she still had to do her part as a host when her friends came. Anan personally cleared the tea table, set the table, and invited the two old men to have a drink and chat at her home.

"Why did you send someone to call me?" Hongze asked her, his brows knitted into a line. How could he not know that none of the women in the Earl's Mansion were easy to deal with.

"I even sent away the capable maidservant around you and left two young and timid maidservants to serve you. Wouldn't it be bad news if you came?" Anan poured wine for them and smiled at him.

"I heard that they asked the Earl's doctor to come and treat you today? They said that you were seriously ill and incurable?" Jinyun was most worried about this news. When he first heard it, he couldn't even hold the pen steadily.
