Fu Xiao turned to look at him and said sternly, "Your body is already in such a bad state that you may die of pain on the first day if you use this prescription."

"I won't give you the recipe now, in case you don't know the severity of the situation and it ends up hurting you."

The medicine had been boiled. She didn't say anything more to him. She stood up, poured the medicine into a bowl, carried it into the room, and symbolically fed Song Ruyuan some.

He took her pulse again, found everything was normal and left the room.

Looking at Zhai Yumo who was still sitting in the yard, she said, "You don't have to stay here, go back to sleep."

He laughed softly, "You know I can't sleep."

Fu Xiao raised his eyebrows. He was honest.

But he didn't say anything and walked to the other side of the table and sat down.

"You can go to sleep first, I can watch over you here."

Seeing her eyes sweeping over, he continued, "Long illness makes a good doctor. I can still take care of people."

Fu Xiao chuckled and shook his head: "No, tonight is very important, I have to watch it myself."

He is still a patient, yet he still takes care of others.

In the middle of the night, the night was silent and the bright moon moved with the clouds, sometimes brighter and sometimes darker.

The light in the Mu family study on the other side was still on.

"Did you find out anything?"

Mu Lianshen looked at Chen Ye and shook his head, his deep eyes gleaming with coldness. "Check their families."

Chen Ye looked at him, "What do you mean?"

Mu Lianshen said in a low voice, "I have followed him for such a long time, I know that he cannot be bought with money. To do such a thing, he must be..."

It should be that the person who is most valued is under duress and has no choice but to do so.

If not, how could they do such a life-threatening thing.

It can be seen that they did not think about surviving when they took action, so it was definitely not for money or other material things.

It is even more impossible that he is an enemy spy. Those who were chosen to be close to him have basically had their generations of political review checked.

Chen Ye nodded, "I understand."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he turned back to look at Mu Lianshen, "Ruyuan,...what's going on?"

Mu Lianshen paused for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look at him, "It'll be fine."

Chen Ye pursed his lips, said "hmm" with a not-so-good look, and walked out of the study.

The study room was left alone, and it was quiet.

After a while, a voice without any emotion rang out in the house: "It's coming for me..."

It was easy to tell who the people who showed up at the venue were, so we took action directly.

It was more like a smoke bomb, making them let down their guard.

He was not surprised at all that someone was targeting him. After all, he had made many enemies, and he knew it all.

But those people only talked behind his back, and they didn't dare to show their dissatisfaction on their faces.

As far as he knew, no one dared to do this, and no one had the ability to do this.

The audacious Wu family?

However, with their family's ability, what they can do is very limited, and the person behind this...

Under the dim light bulb, his profile was reflected in the light, his features were sharp and angular, and there was no trace of emotion.

Zhai family.

Zhai Jiu walked into the yard and glanced at the two people sitting in the corner.

He walked into the room without saying a word, stood in front of the bed and just looked at Song Ruyuan, whose face was as pale as paper.

Zhai Jiu raised two fingers and lightly touched his neck, as if to confirm whether he was still alive.

"Don't just die like this..."

His voice was extremely calm, and apart from being slightly hoarse, there was no trace of emotion in it.

Outside, Fu Xiao was half leaning lazily on a chair, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze.

"You guys go back, I'll stay here."

She looked at the person who made the noise and shook her head, "He will have a fever in the middle of the night. I have to watch him."

Zhai Jiu was silent for a moment, then glanced at Zhai Yumo who was standing aside, "Amo, then you go back to sleep."

Although the voice was soft, the tone was full of unquestionable determination.

Zhai Yumo chuckled, stood up, nodded to Fu Xiao, and returned to his room.

Zhai Jiu did not leave either. He just leaned against the pillar outside the room and said in a deep voice: "If the medicine at home is not enough, remember to notify the Zhai family."

"The medicine is enough for now," Fu Xiao responded with a chuckle, but they are from the Zhai family.

She turned her eyes away, "Some people in the Zhai family probably won't listen to me..."

The moonlight slanted on Zhai Jiu, who stood in the shadows. When she occasionally looked up, she could see his cold profile.

Although she said this tactfully, Zhai Jiu still heard the hidden meaning in her words. A smile flashed in his eyes, and he knew that those people's little thoughts could not be hidden from her.

He walked over slowly and sat in front of her. He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "These children in our compound have also been compared by their parents since they were young."

"Your father has always been outstanding in his work since he was young. Parents in the compound often say, 'Why can't you compare with Lian Shen from the Mu family?'"

Fu Xiao put his elbows on the table, supported his chin with both hands, and listened attentively.

Zhai Jiu's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he continued, "I have never been disciplined since I was a child. I never listened to anyone. My family asked me to join the army, but I only stayed for three years before retiring. They asked me to go into politics, but I didn't follow through."

"Every time Mu Lianshen won first place in the competition, my father or one of my brothers would come to me and say, 'Xiaojiu, why can't you learn from Lianshen and stop worrying the family?'"

"Including forcing me to join the army because your father joined the army,"

He smiled bitterly and said, "We grew up together and have a good relationship, but we are all teenagers with strong self-esteem. Who can keep listening to these words?"
