Zu An carried Chu Chuyan all the way back to her room and put her on the bed. Then he pushed Qin Wanru to the door and said, "Mother-in-law, please stand guard at the door for me and don't let anyone in."

Qin Wanru hadn't expected him to be so strong, and before she could react, she was pushed to the door: "I've already called someone to inform Doctor Bao and Doctor Ji. You just need to stabilize Chu Yan's condition for now."

Zuan shook his head: "It's too late, and given Chu Yan's current physical condition, even if the two of them came, it wouldn't make a difference."

Qin Wanru was furious: "Those two doctors are highly skilled, and they didn't use it, so how could you possibly be effective?"

The thought that this guy had attracted a vixen and caused her daughter such a terrible fate filled her with rage.

Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 787!

Zu An hurriedly said, "I may not be as good as the two divine doctors for other illnesses, but no one understands Chu Yan's condition better than me. You guard the door and make sure no one comes in to disturb her. I can't afford to be distracted even for a moment."

Without waiting for her to refute, he slammed the door shut.

Qin Wanru almost got hit in the nose and was about to lash out when she suddenly remembered that both her eldest and youngest daughters had mentioned his treatment.

Moreover, it has been proven to be effective recently.

Considering that he needs to take off his clothes during treatment, that scene certainly cannot be seen by outsiders.

So she had no choice but to stand guard at the door with her pouting lips, intending to let him save her daughter first, and then settle accounts with him later!

At this moment, Chu Zhongtian and Chu Huanzhao also arrived after hearing the news. The two were eager to go into the house to check the situation, but Qin Wanru stopped them.

"Don't go in, it's inconvenient," Qin Wanru said.

Chu Zhongtian: "???"

What could be inconvenient about me looking after my own daughter?

Chu Huanzhao also realized what was happening: "Is brother-in-law inside rescuing sister?"

Qin Wanru hummed in agreement.

Chu Huanzhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then my sister should be alright."

Qin Wanru frowned. Why did her second daughter trust Zu An so much? She even seemed to admire him a little.

"Is there something I don't know?" Chu Zhongtian thought back to the strange reactions of Qiu Honglei and her daughter when he discussed things with them before.

Qin Wanru hesitated for a moment before telling him about how Zu An had treated her daughter's illness.

"So Chu Yan's improvement was because of him." Chu Zhongtian suddenly paused, "Wait, you said they had to take off their clothes during treatment?"

Qin Wanru nodded: "That's right, because we need to use acupuncture to expel the cold from Chu Yan's body."

Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a long time. The thought of his carefully nurtured cabbage being eaten by a pig made him feel bad: "Have their relationship... become this intimate?"

"It must be a matter of expediency..." Qin Wanru's tone was also somewhat uncertain. Originally, she did not believe that her daughter would be interested in Zu'an.

But her daughter's jealous reaction didn't escape her notice. At the same time, considering that even an outstanding woman like Qiu Honglei was offering herself up, it didn't seem so unacceptable that her daughter had taken a liking to him.

But why? She couldn't understand what made Zu'an so special that he could attract such outstanding women, even his youngest daughter was so obedient to him.

Does this guy have some other strengths that I don't know about?

At this moment, Zu An was examining Chu Chu Yan's injuries in the room, and his Qi sensed that the cold energy within her body was rampant.

All the effort I had put into getting her sorted out these past few days has been wasted, and now her physical condition is much worse than before she received treatment.

It felt as if a raging blizzard was surging within her, threatening to extinguish her life at any moment.

"Get away from me, I don't need your help." Chu Chuyan reached out to push him away, but she had no strength at all and instead fell into his arms.

"Don't get agitated. Your condition is very bad right now, and you could die at any moment," Zu An hurriedly helped her up.

"What's wrong with dying? I should have died a long time ago anyway." Chu Chuyan's tone was cold, without a trace of youthful vitality.

Zuan was getting anxious: "I risked my life to save you in the secret realm, how can you just give up on me!"

Hearing him mention the secret realm, Chu Chuyan's expression softened slightly, but when she thought of what had just happened, her brows furrowed again.

Zuan was taking her pulse and closely monitoring her condition.

Sensing another fluctuation in her aura, he hurriedly said, "Are you angry about what just happened? It's really not what you think."

"What do I have to be angry about? Anyway, after I die, it will be perfect for you to regain your freedom, and at the same time, it will be a blessing for you and that Miss Qiu." Perhaps because of her physical weakness, Chu Chuyan found it difficult to control her emotions as she usually did.

Zuan couldn't help but laugh: "So, my wife, you're jealous."

"Nonsense, why would I be jealous?" Chu Chuyan blushed and turned her head away, refusing to look at him again.

At the same time, I was secretly wondering what was wrong with me? Why was I so angry? This wasn't like me.

Is it really for him?

Zuan couldn't help but say, "Wife, if I remember correctly, I've asked you several times before, and you always said you didn't mind me seeing other women?"

Chu Chuyan's expression turned cold: "That's right, I did say that."

But how can that be the same? At that time, we were just husband and wife in name only, and we didn't really have any interaction. Naturally, I didn't want to selfishly bind him like that.

But now both of them...

Chu Chuyan's anger level increased by 233!
