Chapter 163 It would be a miracle if you could even have children!

No matter how much Sun pleaded or how much Li Zhenxuan cried, Li Mu and Song Yi did not budge an inch.

Upon seeing this, Marquis Anping wrote a letter of divorce on behalf of his youngest son with a gloomy face.

The moment the seal was affixed, he angrily threw the letter of divorce at Li Mu.

Are you satisfied now?

Then he turned and left.

Li Mu didn't care about Marquis Anping's attitude, or rather, he had seen Marquis Anping like this too many times since he was a child, and he had learned not to care.

He read through the letters of divorce and then gave one of them to Mrs. Sun.

"I will arrange for someone to help you pack your things. You should leave the Marquis's residence tonight. From now on, you will no longer be the Second Young Mistress of the Marquis of Anping's residence."

Madam Sun clutched the letter of divorce tightly, staggered to her feet, and glared at Li Mu and Song Yi with hatred in her eyes.

Her voice was shrill. "Why do you think you can just divorce me like that? I don't recognize this divorce letter!"

"I will wait for my husband to return. Unless he writes a letter of divorce himself, no one will be allowed to drive me out of the Marquis's mansion."

Li Mu waved the letter of divorce in his hand.

"Two copies of the divorce papers will be made. I will go to the yamen to register and file them first thing tomorrow morning. In black and white, you are no longer a member of the Li family."

"If you don't want to leave, that's fine too. I'll send the Sun family to pick you up in a bit."

A strong sense of panic flashed in Sun's eyes.

Although her father was the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, she was just an illegitimate daughter of the Sun family. Her birth mother barely had a place in the Sun family by being subservient and humble.

If the Sun family knew she had been divorced, they wouldn't send anyone to pick her up; they would only send someone to deliver two feet of white silk!

No, she cannot go back to the Sun family.

She absolutely mustn't let the Sun family know that she'd been divorced!

Madam Sun clutched the letter of divorce tightly, grabbed the weeping Li Zhenxuan, and hurriedly left.

Only Li Nanke, Li Mu, and Song Yi remained in the courtyard.

Li Mu and Song Yi exchanged a glance, neither of them smiling.

Li Nanke asked curiously, "Father, did you really report it to the authorities?"

When they discussed it before, both their father and mother were clearly against reporting it to the authorities.

Li Mu shook his head and gently exhaled.

"You're lying to your grandfather. This matter involves the princess after all. If it really comes to light, your father is afraid that the empress will be dissatisfied with you."

"Sigh, but this way, there's no way to involve Song Hui."

When Song Hui was mentioned, Song Yi gritted her teeth.

"She's clever this time, knowing to stay behind the scenes and push the Sun family to the forefront to stir up trouble. She's truly wicked."

Li Nanke strongly agreed.

"Even if we report it to the authorities, we probably won't be able to find her. She arranged this too cleverly."

The sachet was embroidered by my second aunt, and it was given to her by the stewardess of the Left Prime Minister's household. She didn't directly interfere at all during the entire process.

Even if she is implicated, it will only amount to a few lashes.

Song Hye got off too cheaply!

Sooner or later, Song Hui will have to pay for everything her family has suffered!

Li Nanke didn't want her parents to worry anymore, so she changed the subject.

"Father, why did you come back so suddenly? How is Grandmother?"

Li Mu said, "I heard that your grandfather came to our courtyard, and I was afraid that you and your mother would suffer, so I rushed back."

But with Grandma Sun there looking after things, let's go take a look."

The family of three hurried to the main courtyard where Madam He lived.

Gui Liu had finished writing the prescription and was sitting in the outer room drinking tea.

Upon seeing Li Nanke and the others enter, he put down his teacup and spoke directly without waiting for a question.

"Your grandmother has been suffering from depression for many years, which has led to poor blood circulation and physical weakness. In addition, she has been repeatedly stimulated in recent days, which is why she has been bedridden for so long."

This is not much different from what doctors have said before.

Li Mu was somewhat disappointed.

Li Nanke's heart stirred slightly.

Is your mood constantly depressed?

Is Grandma in a bad mood all the time?

But my grandmother is usually gentle and kind to the younger generation, so I couldn't tell that she was in a bad mood.

What triggered the patient's first episode?

Gui Liu asked.

Li Mu and Song Yi were at a loss for a moment.

Li Nanke snapped out of her daze and was the first to react.

“My grandmother’s cat, which she had raised for many years, passed away. My grandmother was very sad, fainted, and then fell ill.”

Song Yi also remembered this matter.

"Yes, yes, that's right. A few days later, our house was ransacked, and my mother-in-law was so shocked that she fainted again."

His health deteriorated, and he occasionally coughed up blood.

When the topic of confiscating his property came up, Li Mu looked annoyed.

"It's all my fault."

Gui Liu raised his hand impatiently to interrupt, "I'm asking you to state the facts, not to apologize in front of me."

Li Mu's frustration and sadness came to an abrupt end.

Song Yi patted him gently.

Li Nanke continued, "Later, my grandmother clashed with my grandfather in order to protect me, which aggravated her condition."

"Sir, is Grandma's illness very serious?"

Gui Liu scratched his messy hair and shook his head.

"If it were an ordinary doctor, they would definitely find it difficult and tell you to rest and take medicine to regulate your body."

Li Nanke nodded.

That's exactly what the doctor said before.

"What is your opinion, sir?"

Gui Liu chuckled.

"As for me... I still need to take some medicine. I've already prescribed a formula, so I'm taking it as directed. But the most important treatment isn't taking medicine."

Li Nanke, Li Mu, and Song Yi all looked bewildered.

How can you cure an illness without taking medicine?

Gui Liu pointed to the courtyard outside.

"Lift up some of the stone slabs in the yard, make a vegetable garden, and plant flowers and vegetables in the yard whenever you have free time."

Go out more often, a good mood naturally cures all ailments!

Li Nanke's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

Gui Liu looked certain.

Li Mu lowered his voice and asked Song Yi, "Ke'er, where did you find this doctor? He doesn't seem very reliable."

"I've never heard of growing flowers and vegetables curing diseases. Could this person be a quack?"

Song Yi tugged at him awkwardly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is none other than the world-renowned physician, Master Gui Liu!"

"What? You mean he... he's the legendary healer Gui Liu?"

Li Mujing's mouth was practically big enough to fit an egg. He couldn't believe that the old man in front of him, dressed in drab gray clothes, with hair like a bird's nest and a messy beard, was actually the divine doctor Gui Liu.

Gui Liu swept his hand over him from bottom to top, his beard slightly curled.

"What? You have a problem with me?"

Li Mu quickly waved his hand.

"No... I dare not."

"Oh, so you do have it, but you're afraid to say it?"

Li Mu...

Li Nanke chuckled.

"Sir, please stop teasing my father. I also want to take my mother's pulse. I want my mother to give me a younger brother or sister."

Song Yi blushed slightly and gave Gui Liu a slight curtsy.

"To be honest, sir, I have taken countless tonics over the past four years, but my stomach has remained flat. Please take a look."

Gui Liu gestured for her to sit opposite him, stroking his beard with one hand and cutting Song Yi's pulse with the other.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and gestured for Song Yi to switch hands.

After taking the pulses of both hands, his brows furrowed tightly.

Song Yi looked uneasy.

Li Mu pressed further, "Sir, is there anything wrong with my wife's pulse?"

Gui Liu tugged at his beard.

"It's just a common case of cold uterus in ordinary women, but it shouldn't be to the point where she can't get pregnant. It's really strange!"

Song Yi and Li Mu looked bewildered and were about to ask something when Gui Liu suddenly grabbed Li Mu's arm and pressed on his pulse.

After a moment, he released his grip and chuckled.

"With your looks... there's no way you could even have a child!"
