“It’s not that he doesn’t have a fever, but you don’t know!” Wen Ruoshui blocked him from opening the car door.

Upon seeing her nervous look, Huo Ci smiled ambiguously. “I know, I know. I won’t visit Second Brother. It’s the same if I see Second Sister-in-law.”

Although he said that, he started mumbling in his heart. Second Brother’s body had always been strong. Why did he suddenly have a fever? Look at how scared Second Sister-in-law was. Wouldn’t it be fine if he just took some medicine when he had a fever?

Now that Second Brother had a wife, even his body became delicate and his heart became fragile. He probably needed a wife to coax him! He was really envious!

“Let’s go,” Nangong Lengyu called out to them.

Wen Ruoshui looked over and saw a tall, skinny old man with a goatee beside Nangong Lengyu. He looked unfathomable.

Huo Ci approached Wen Ruoshui and whispered, “That’s a liar and a charlatan. Hurry up and persuade him. You’re a doctor. Don’t tell me you’re as superstitious as him!”

Why had hr gone all the way to the mountains to invite a master? What era was it now? He was a remnant of a feudal society!

Wen Ruoshui glanced at him coldly with an unhappy expression.

Huo Ci hurriedly shut his mouth, looking helpless. Forget it, forget it. Why should he tell them? They were all desperate.

Forget about Gongjue. After all, he was brainless and easily deceived.

Second Sister-in-law was different. She was an intellectual and a genius doctor. How could she believe in such a mysterious thing?

Nangong Lengyu looked at his eyes. “Are you scolding me?”

Huo Ci jumped up. “Who scolded you?”

Nangong Lengyu glared at him warningly. “Don’t think I don’t know. You might not say it, but you’re scolding me in your heart!”

“Are you a roundworm in my stomach?” Huo Ci’s heart skipped a beat, and he returned to normal after a moment. “If you have evidence, take it out. If not, shut up.”

Who could she fool?

She could read minds?

Nangong Lengyu stopped him at the door and gave him a sideways look. “Just wait outside. If you don’t want to wait, leave!”

Huo Ci, who had a bad temper, pointed at her angrily. “Pretty boy, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?”

He did not think about who was the one who had accompanied her to find them despite the danger and drove them over. He was a classic example of an ingrate who abandoned him after using him and turned hostile!

Nangong Lengyu sneered. “Dongfang Meng is at home.”

Huo Ci frowned. “Do you think I’m afraid of her?”

Nangong Lengyu gave him a disdainful look but did not reply. She turned around and left.

Huo Ci chased after her. “I have to watch you for Nangong Lengyu. Don’t get kidnapped by other women.”

Dongfang Meng, that shrew, had been in the army since she was young and was quite close to the Song family, especially to Song Shu. He and the Song family were irreconcilable enemies.

However, he did not attack Dongfang Meng not because he was afraid of her, but because a good man did not fight with a woman. He could not be bothered to stoop to the level of a woman.

Upon hearing his words, Wen Ruoshui glanced at Nangong Lengyu. She increasingly felt that Huo Ci’s feelings for Yu’er were developing in a strange direction.

Nangong Lengyu gave him a disdainful look. Upon seeing him chase after her as though nothing had happened, she could not be bothered with him.

Huo Ci also felt that he might be crazy. Perhaps he had masochistic tendencies. Otherwise, why did he feel a little excited every time he scolded him?

The Dongfang family’s butler led them in.

When they reached the door, the butler stopped in his tracks and looked at Wen Ruoshui in embarrassment. “Miss Shui Shui, Second Madam is in Miss Chu Chu’s room. You should stay here for the time being!”

When the Second Madam saw her go over, she would make a scene again. The Old Master had ordered that if she came over, he would not let her in to see Miss Chu Chu.

He knew that Miss Shui Shui was innocent, but he could not find out the cause of Miss Chu Chu’s strange illness. No matter what, it would make one think too much.

“What do you mean?” Nangong Lengyu was annoyed. “Shui Shui…”

“Yu’er.” Wen Ruoshui interrupted her and told her to calm down. “It’s alright. Go in. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Even if she couldn’t see Chu Chu, she wanted to be closer to her. It was good to wait outside. At the very least, they hadn’t kicked her out of the Dongfang family.

Auntie Shen Nan must be heartbroken now. She could understand. She could not let Auntie Shen Nan be hurt because of her.

Nangong Lengyu was still unconvinced. She clenched her fists tightly and tugged at her with heartache. “Shui Shui, you can’t do this. This has nothing to do with you. You can’t let them slander you.”

Ever since Chu Chu had gotten sick, she had been busy helping her contact the experts. However, Shui Shui wasn’t allowed in the house. How could they treat Shui Shui like this?

What jinx? It was just a pitiful and laughable excuse they had found to comfort themselves. Being sick was being sick. What bad luck? It was just nonsense.

“Go in quickly. Auntie will be sad to see me.” Wen Ruoshui gave her a comforting smile.

Nangong Lengyu’s heart burned with anger. She felt sad and indignant for her. “We’ll be out soon. Stay in the room and don’t go outside. It’s cold.”

She also knew that the Dongfang family treated her as a jinx, especially Auntie Shen Nan. She simply treated her as an enemy and blamed her for Chu Chu’s illness.

She did not know why such a kind and gentle person had suddenly become like this. She had watched Shui Shui grow up. How could she bear to do this?

Huo Ci gave Wen Ruoshui a sympathetic look and said, “Second Sister-in-law, if anyone bullies you, call me. I’ll be right down.”

Wen Ruoshui nodded and watched them go up to the second floor. Then, she turned around and walked out. She turned to the back of the villa and stopped at the window in the middle. She looked up.

The snowfall became heavier. Snow fell like goose feathers, quickly turning her hair white and forming a thin layer of snow on her body.

From where she was standing, Chu Chu’s room was on the second floor. The surroundings were very quiet, but there was no sound coming from the room, making her heart rise to her throat.

She clearly knew that things like metaphysics were all lies, but she still couldn’t help but want to believe it and try. She humbly prayed to the heavens. No matter what method she used, as long as Chu Chu could recover, she was willing to do anything.

Yan Yuanfei knew that the Dongfang family would not accept her. When he saw her standing alone in the corner from afar, his heart ached. He strode over, took off his coat, and put it on her. In a low voice, he said, “Let’s go.”

No matter how much kindness the Dongfang family had shown her, they could not use such a method to hurt her. They did not care about her feelings or whether she was in pain. He cared!
