As Xiao Yunyu spoke, he cooperated with Doctor Wu and conducted another careful examination.

"Sir, your condition seems completely incurable. In my humble opinion..." Doctor Wu glanced at Xiao Yunyu's cold gaze and trailed off, "Why don't you consult the imperial physician? They've been at the Imperial Hospital for a long time, and they're knowledgeable and skilled. They might be able to pinpoint the cause."

Xiao Yunyu frowned, closed his eyes, rubbed his swollen temples, and said "hmm" softly.

After Qi Heng sent Doctor Wu out, he turned back and saw Xiao Yunyu dozing off with his eyes closed and his head supported by one hand.

At the same time, I felt it was strange. Every time Brother Yu got beaten, he would go to him for a drink out of frustration.

Why are you so calm today?

He walked over to sit across from Xiao Yunyu at the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and asked, "Brother Yu, how long will it take for your Northwest caravan to reach the capital? One of the herbs in Second Miss Wen's prescription is still with the caravan. Lately, my eldest brother has been able to stand up, but he just can't walk often. The palace banquet is coming up soon, and my family is counting on the medicine the caravan brings to help my eldest brother get better quickly!"

Xiao Yunyu replied lazily, "I received a letter two days ago. It should be around these two days."

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Qi Heng curiously: "Is the second daughter of the Wen family's medical skills really that good?"

Qi Hengke became excited when he mentioned this, his eyes shining as he praised: "Of course! I have never seen a doctor with better medical skills than Second Miss Wen. Think about it, even the imperial physician said that my brother's leg was incurable, but Second Miss Wen only took a few days and my brother was able to stand up again! She is simply a miracle doctor!"

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yunyu immediately became interested: "According to what you said, I would like to go find that Miss Wen Er and try. Maybe she can understand my illness."

"Okay! Leave this to me, I'll help you make an appointment with her." Qi Heng said excitedly: "How about the day after tomorrow? I'll ask her to go to the stables to learn horse riding, and you can go too."

"Okay," Xiao Yunyu agreed casually. Feeling a little sleepy, he sent Qi Heng home.

At noon the next day, the sky was bright. The summer heat had dissipated a lot in recent days, but the sun was still bright.

Shen Mansion.

Xiao Yunchen held a bouquet of flowers in his hand and bowed respectfully to Mr. and Mrs. Shen who were sitting in the main hall with a blushing face.

"My son-in-law greets my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Mr. Shen sat with a dignified expression, holding the teacup in his hand, taking a sip before speaking in a calm and composed voice, "No need to be so polite, we are all family."

Mr. Shen spoke politely, but his dark eyes showed displeasure when he looked at Xiao Yunchen.

Madam Shen frowned, her face also full of displeasure, but her voice was still gentle: "Son-in-law, we have held Fu'er in our hands and cherished her for so many years, and have never let her suffer any grievances. When Fu'er came back yesterday, her eyes were swollen from crying..."

Xiao Yunchen listened to his mother-in-law's words, imagining his wife's heartbroken look, feeling guilty and regretful, and asked in a hoarse voice to see his wife.

Last night he tossed and turned alone, unable to fall asleep, his mind full of thoughts about his wife asking for a divorce.

He had a vague feeling that his wife's idea was not something she spoke hastily, but had been thinking about it for a long time.

As for the reason, he couldn't figure it out.

When the morning court session ended this morning, he called over several colleagues who had been married for many years to ask them why.

A colleague shared his experience with him: When a woman is angry, don't try to reason with her. Coax her, and try to coax her in any way you can! That's the right way.

He also followed the advice of his colleagues, bought a set of jewelry and hair accessories and a bouquet of flowers, and personally came to the Shen Mansion to pick someone up.

Under the osmanthus tree in the backyard, Li Sisi was sharing the storybook she had stayed up late reading last night with the maids in the yard, while eating the snacks that she had asked the maids to buy this morning.

When he talked about something funny, the maids laughed out loud.

Suddenly, the maid from the front yard came to report that Xiao Yunchen had come to take her back home.

Li Sisi's heart skipped a beat. She was silent for a moment, then she drooped her eyelids and said in a muffled voice, "Go tell Father and Mother that I don't want to see him."

The maid said in embarrassment: "But the son-in-law is already on his way."

When Li Sisi heard this, she quickly threw away the half-eaten watermelon in her hand and ran back into the house and locked the door.

He shouted loudly: "I don't want to see him, tell him to get out of here!"

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Yunchen's gentle voice rang out: "My wife, it was my fault yesterday. I shouldn't have argued with you. Don't be angry with me, come back with me..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the door slam shut, as if something inside was hitting him hard.

"You mean, it's all my fault and I'm unreasonable?" Li Sisi's angry voice rang out in the house.

Xiao Yunchen hurriedly explained: "No, my wife is not wrong, it's my fault that I didn't ask the reason clearly, I..."

"Bang!" There was another bang on the door, accompanied by Li Sisi's angry roar, "So what if I find out the truth? Does that give you the right to hit me?"

"That's not what I meant. Madam, please listen to my explanation..." Xiao Yunchen was so anxious that his heart was spinning, but he had no experience in this kind of situation.

"Bang! Bang!" This time there were two bangs on the door, accompanied by Li Sisi's cries: "Wow, woosh, woosh—Xiao Yunchen, get out of here. If you don't, I'll die right now! I'm going to hang myself..."

When the maid saw Li Sisi's appearance, she was so scared that she hurried to find Madam Shen and Master Shen.

Inside the house, Li Sisi had just finished smashing the cups on the table. When she ran out of things to smash, she began to cry, "Wow, you have no conscience, Xiao Yunchen! How could you allow your mother to beat me? I'm still a baby. This is my first time getting married. Wow, wow, wow..."

Li Sisi cried and cried, and she felt more and more wronged and sad. Was she crying out her true feelings?

Hey, no matter what, I can’t go back with him!

Xiao Yunchen, who was outside the door, heard her crying sadly. He didn't hear everything she said clearly, but he just thought in his heart: He actually made his wife so sad, it was really wrong!

"My wife, I was wrong..."

Li Sisi didn't care what he said. She had been thinking about herself and Xiao Yunchen yesterday.

Suddenly I came to my senses.

It's none of her business who Xiao Yunchen loves! As long as Chen Fu dies, there will only be Li Sisi in the world!

Rich woman Li Sisi!

Mrs. Shen came to the yard and was heartbroken when she heard Li Sisi crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself.

While wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she said, "My daughter Fu'er used to be such a well-behaved child. How could she be forced into this state not long after coming to the Xiao family? If she wasn't really sad, my daughter Fu'er wouldn't have made such a fuss!"

Mr. Shen's face was gloomy. He suppressed his anger and politely escorted Xiao Yunchen out of the house.
