Xiao Qingyin chuckled: "What are you doing here so late?"

Yi Shuihan told him about asking the old man to write a parenting guide.

Xiao Qingyin remained silent.

Do you know the word 'retribution'?

"What kind of retribution?"

"You're always causing trouble for your father now, but you'll be the one being caused trouble by your son in the future."

Yi Shuihan snorted lightly: "We'll see then."

He refused to believe that he could be completely fooled by a little brat.

But when he talked about his son, he remembered what had just happened.

The brothers, whom we had finally managed to suppress, started to rebel again.

So he left in a hurry without even saying goodbye.

Back at the mansion, he took a cold shower for a full half hour.

The thought that there was still a month until the wedding made him feel that the time was very long.

He couldn't help but envy Ouyang Xiuqi.

Little did they know that Ouyang Xiuqi was facing the greatest crisis of his life at that very moment.

After finally recovering from her allergic reaction and resuming a harmonious life with Ji Yunhua, she died from excessive tension and anxiety.

No matter how hard he tried, it didn't respond at all.

"Yunhua, it's not usually like this!"

He quickly explained.

Ji Yunhua raised an eyebrow: "You mean, you can do it yourself, but not me?"

Ouyang Xiuqi was so anxious he almost cried.

"I only do this because I'm thinking of you..."

So you're just like Lord Ye who loved dragons but was terrified of them?

"..."

Even Ouyang Xiuqi had some doubts about himself after hearing this.

Could it be that he only pretends to like Yunhua, and that he doesn't actually like her?

How could that be!

He clenched his fists tightly: "Let's try again!"

Ji Yunhua readily agreed: "No problem."

So they tried a second, third, and fourth time... but there was still no response.

Ouyang Xiu felt utterly hopeless.

Ji Yunhua yawned: "Keep trying, I'm going to sleep now. Wake me up when you're done."

Ouyang Xiuqi: "..."

He no longer had the energy to work hard.

After Ji Yunhua fell asleep, he lay on his back on the bed, staring into the void, feeling that life was utterly meaningless and devoid of interest.

I thought I would have insomnia all night, but maybe because I hadn't slept well for the past few days, my eyes just kept open and I don't know when they closed.

He woke up the next day and found himself full of energy, which excited him.

"Yunhua, I'm all better!"

But there was no response.

Turning his head, he saw that the space beside him was empty; Ji Yunhua was nowhere to be found.

He died instantly.

Ji Yunhua went to Xiao Qingyin to complain.

"He can't do it."

She said this as soon as she sat down.

Xiao Qingyin didn't react for a moment.

"What's wrong with it?"

"There."

Xiao Qingyin understood immediately.

"No way, everything was fine the last time, wasn't it?"

Ji Yunhua sighed: "Didn't he take medicine that time? Maybe he needs to take medicine."

Xiao Qingyin rubbed her forehead.

"Why don't you have him see a doctor?"

It's not convenient for her to get involved in this matter.

Ji Yunhua nodded: "I'm considering it. Could the 'Seven Times a Night Pill' from our shop cure this?"

"It may be helpful, but it may not be able to cure the problem completely. For some people, the cause is not physical, but psychological."

Ji Yunhua frowned: "This is really troublesome. Maybe we should just get a divorce."

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

They'd divorce at the slightest disagreement; no wonder Ouyang Xiuqi even resorted to a self-inflicted injury ruse.

She poked the man's forehead: "Can't you have a little patience? You haven't even seen a doctor yet, and you're already thinking of dumping him."

Ji Yunhua rolled her eyes at her: "You're like a well-fed person who doesn't know the hunger of an starving person."

Xiao Qingyin: "???"

She hasn't even had any meat yet, so how could she be full?

Although someone does indeed have plenty of capital.

She glanced at Ji Yunhua from head to toe: "How come I never noticed you were like this before..."

"Before I turned thirty, hadn't you heard the saying that women in their thirties are like wolves and in their forties like tigers?"

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

You're only in your early twenties, far from thirty, what are you pretending to be?

Anyone who didn't know better would think this person was showing off.

"The doctors at Qianjintang are quite skilled; why don't you go there and look for them?"

Stop trying to show off to her.

Ji Yunhua glared at her and walked away leisurely.

She then went to attend to other matters.

Just as I was getting ready for bed, someone knocked on my door.

"Qingyin, get up quickly, help save a life!"

Xiao Qingyin hadn't even taken off her clothes yet when she heard this, she immediately opened the door.

Before she could even ask, Ji Yunhua put his arm around her waist and used his light-footed skill to carry her away from the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence and fly towards the Marquis of Jian'an's residence.

Xiao Qingyin was afraid that talking to her would distract her and affect their journey, so she didn't ask any questions.

He wondered to himself: Could it be that Ouyang Xiuqi had been in a "car accident"?

When they arrived at the Jian'an Earl's residence, they realized they had guessed wrong.

It wasn't Ouyang Xiuqi who needed saving, but rather Old Madam Ouyang.

As soon as Ji Yunhua led her into the old lady's room, Ouyang Xiuqi came to greet her.

"Qingyin, I'm so sorry to bother you. My mother just fainted and I can't wake her up no matter what I do. I even tried pinching her philtrum but she didn't respond. I don't know what's wrong."

"good."

Xiao Qingyin sat down by the bed, took the old lady's pulse, and examined her body.

He then said to Ouyang Xiuqi, "Have someone make a cup of honey water."

Ouyang Xiuqi immediately ordered his servants to carry it out.

After the honey water was brought over, Xiao Qingyin fed it to the old lady spoonful by spoonful.

After being fed, the old lady slowly opened her eyes.

"Tingchen? Yunhua? What are you all doing here?"

"Mother, you just fainted. The maid told us, and Yunhua asked Qingyin to come and revive you."
