Li Yuanzhao's face was ashen. Song Yan took her pulse and confirmed that she had indeed been frightened.

“How could this happen to me? Please get me some medicine. I feel dizzy and have heart palpitations whenever I move, and I can’t sleep well,” Li Yuanzhao said.

Song Yan: "You have a bit of a weak constitution. It's not serious, but you breastfed after giving birth, and breast milk is the mother's essence and blood."

So your body is a little deficient. But it's not a big problem. Just rest well and pay attention to nutrition. You'll recover gradually.

But you were frightened, which damaged your kidneys. The kidneys are the foundation of your innate constitution. You've damaged your innate foundation, while the spleen is the foundation of your acquired constitution. So now you have deficiencies in both your innate and acquired constitutions, which is why you're experiencing dizziness, palpitations, and restless sleep. Let's see how you are in a few days.” Song Yan stopped there.

Li Yuanzhao: "You're going to prescribe medicine for me, why are you staring at me like that?"

Song Yan: "I was wondering if Wei Aiguo was your pillar of support after you were frightened?"

"Him? He was just trying to scare me... Wait a minute! He told me to keep quiet, and then he'd tell you when we got back?"

He even dared to tell me not to tell Cheng Wenkai. He can trust his lover, but I can't trust mine.

Fortunately, I didn't agree to anything. Li Yuanzhao's voice was a little weak, but that didn't stop her from talking a lot.

Song Yan remained silent.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Yuanzhao said. "You don't know! If you knew, you definitely wouldn't be making that expression."

You're bluffing me! What do you want to know?

Song Yan: "You should ask me what I saw?"

Song Yan then recounted what he had seen yesterday.

Li Yuanzhao was so surprised that she didn't speak for a long time. "That's not right! Shouldn't you have rushed in and questioned him? Or rather, like you broke someone's leg. Break your Wei Aiguo's leg."

That third leg!

Song Yan angrily pushed Li Yuanzhao onto the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), "Can't you speak properly? Do you still want me to treat your illness?"

"You think so much of me, yet you expect me to talk to you nicely? Do you think I can't treat patients without you? I'll go find Old Han; his skills are definitely better than yours." Li Yuanzhao's mouth was sharp as ever.

"Don't even talk about whether Lao Han will treat you or not. In your current state, if I prevent you from leaving the house, how can you even get out?" Song Yan said confidently.

Li Yuanzhao was suddenly pushed down and felt dizzy again. "It's over, I'm already a patient, and you're still hitting me."

"Your mouth is as sharp as a knife, you can talk so much. Do you think I can't tell you're up to something?" Song Yan said.

"I'm fine when I'm talking, but I can't handle any activity."

"Really, why aren't you making a fuss? I'm really curious." Li Yuanzhao changed the subject so quickly.

Is this the point? This is infuriating!

Song Yan: "There are no three-legged toads in the world, but there are plenty of two-legged people, aren't there?"

I don't need this one; I can find a better one.

Li Yuanzhao's mouth dropped open in astonishment. The fact that Song Yan came to see her not in a fit of rage to beat her up meant she was still rational and didn't think too badly of herself. Why would she need to find someone else?

Song Yan: "I filed for divorce. Wei Aiguo didn't object! He'll definitely get this settled before I leave."

If Cheng Wenkai knew that the reason for our divorce was you…

Li Yuanzhao finally got to the point. "Why me? What does it have to do with me? Yesterday… I told you all this because you forced me to. Whatever the consequences are, it has nothing to do with me…"

Song Yan remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

Li Yuanzhao asked, "You don't believe me?"

Honestly, I was completely terrified.

It's all my fault; sometimes I like to dig to the bottom of things. Let's just assume someone's having an affair, why did I have to go and investigate?

There wasn't a single footprint on the perfectly smooth snow. But I'm sure I saw someone there. My hair stood on end. All the gossip from the West Compound suddenly came flooding back.

Song Yan remained silent.

“Believe it or not, I’m completely innocent,” Li Yuanzhao added.

Song Yan: "I believe you!" In the original story, it was Li Yuanzhao who discovered the anomaly, which led to the enemy agents trying to silence her. Wei Aiguo did this to save her... There were long passages of internal monologue at the time. Song Yan skipped around while reading, and in the end, Wei Aiguo died.

"When I said I wanted a divorce, he didn't ask me why I wanted a divorce, but said he needed to think about it..."

Li Yuanzhao said, "This doesn't make sense. Wei Aiguo clearly dotes on you. Besides, you're a golden phoenix about to fly away; shouldn't he hold on tight to you?"

Song Yan: "He doesn't want you to tell anyone, right?"

Li Yuanzhao nodded, "He said if this gets out, I'll definitely be labeled as spreading feudal superstition."

Does he even need to explain this?

He asked me if I was just scaring myself.

I can see it clearly. It's not that I'm afraid my eyes are playing tricks on me.

Later, seeing that I insisted on saying this, he said he would talk to Secretary Lu and ask him to investigate the matter.

He repeatedly told me to promise that this matter wouldn't be told to anyone. The way your man spoke... it didn't suit his position. If my Cheng Wenkai had said that to me, it would be more plausible. Because he's a policeman..." Li Yuanzhao recounted what had happened.

Song Yan went home and prepared some medicine for Li Yuanzhao, making it into pills.

On the way back, I ran into Lao Zeng, who seemed hesitant to speak. This meant he knew that he and Wei Aiguo had a conflict.

Song Yan stopped. "Say what you want to say!"

Old Zeng: "Life is like that, there are bound to be some disagreements. It'll pass, it's not a big deal."

Song Yan looked around and saw no one was there. "If we're talking about relationships, are we closer, or are you closer to Wei Aiguo? You're my godfather, so shouldn't you be worried that Wei Aiguo is bullying me and stand up for me?"
