The next morning.

Jiang Yu watched her son eat when told to eat and read when told to read, being very obedient, but he didn't say a word. He was so quiet that it was as if his soul hadn't returned to his body. Jiang Yu was extremely worried.

When Shangguan Xinyi came to visit, she suggested, "Sister Xiaoyu, my cousin is a very good doctor. Why don't you have her come to the capital to take a look at Xiaobao?"

Jiang Yu was initially delighted, then sighed, "She can't come."

Why?

Shangguan Xinyi seized the opportunity to sow discord: "It only takes a little over two hours to fly from Changteng City to the capital. If she comes now, she can go back this afternoon. It shouldn't take up too much of her time, right?"

"That's true, but she's not in Nagano City."

Jiang Yu thought of Shangguan Wu, but she wasn't impressed with her medical skills. Her husband said Shangguan Wu had cured her fourth brother's leg ailment, and she felt that after seeing so many specialists, her leg ailment should have been cured by now. On the other hand, she trusted Old Master You, who had been the Gu family's family doctor for decades.

Shangguan Xinyi's eyes flickered: "Shangguan Wu isn't in Changteng City?"

No wonder Young Master Xiao and her mother couldn't be found.

"Where did she go? Xiaobao is sick, and as his aunt and a medical student, she didn't even come to see him. That's really unacceptable."

Jiang Yu wanted to nod in agreement, but then she thought that her fourth brother might not allow Shangguan Wu to come and take care of the house, so she didn't bother to argue.

"Never mind, she's doing charity work in the mountains, it's good that she's doing good deeds. I'll contact Mr. You later and ask him to come back..."

Before Jiang Yu could finish speaking, Gu Xiaobao, who was sitting on the sofa, threw down his cushion and ran towards the stairwell.

"Xiao Bao, where are you going?"

Jiang Yu stood up anxiously and shouted.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xinyi took the opportunity to say that she was leaving: "Sister Xiaoyu, you should go and take care of Xiaobao. I'll go back now and come to see you another day."

"I'm sorry, I'll treat you better next time."

Jiang Yu escorted Shangguan Xinyi to the door, watched her get into the car and leave, then hurriedly returned to the villa and ran upstairs.

As soon as Shangguan Xinyi got into the car, she called Xiao Jingming.

After the call connected, Shangguan Xinyi said coquettishly, "Brother Xiao, I just found out where Shangguan Wu is. Do you want my mother to come see you, or should I come find you now?"

Since Xiao Jingming became the head of the Xiao family, too many women have been fawning over him. Someone as naive as Shangguan Xinyi is fine to tease in his spare time. He smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm at home. Come over here."

Then, Xiao Jingming asked, "Xinyi, can you tell me now? The sooner I find Shangguan Wu, the sooner my brother can get back on his feet."

Shangguan Xinyi replied, "My cousin went to the mountains to do charity work. It was organized by her medical school. You can find out which mountain area she went to with just a little inquiry."

"Okay, I'll tell the kitchen to make your favorite dessert. You can eat it when you arrive."

Xiao Jingming was surprised that the people he sent to Gu Garden could not find out Shangguan Wu's whereabouts, but instead learned about Shangguan Wu's location from Shangguan Xinyi.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao."

"Then let's talk again when we meet."

Upon hearing Shangguan Xinyi's "hmm," Xiao Jingming ended the call and immediately summoned his trusted confidant, Xiao Jin, to investigate the charity activities of the Imperial City Medical College.

Not long after, Xiao Jin sent back a message.

"So they went to the Yukang Mountain area near the border!"

No wonder his men didn't see Shangguan Wu leave. Xiao Jingming chuckled again: "Hehe, interesting."

Xiao Jingming instructed, "Take four men to the Yukang Mountain area immediately and invite Shangguan Wu to the capital. Don't confront Gu Si's men head-on."

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Jin respectfully withdrew from the study.

Suddenly, Xiao Jingming called out to him, "Wait, bring two more people with you."

***

That night, in Tamzhai, Yukang Mountain area.

After a busy day, Shangguan Wu stayed at an old woman's house. After dinner, she video-called Liu Qing and instructed him on how to change Xiao Hei's dressing.

Xiao Hei is that Tibetan Mastiff.

Halfway through the conversation, she received a call from Gu Yunzhen.

"Honey, I'll tell you later."

After saying that, she hung up the phone and then sent a video to Liu Qing, but unexpectedly, Liu Qing rejected her.

"Miss, I've drugged Xiao Hei and started applying medicine to it, so you don't need to worry."

Shangguan Wu: "..."

Her lips twitched. Oh well, if she's knocked unconscious, that's fine. As long as she can get the medicine.

She sent a video request to Gu Yunzhen.

When the man's handsome and refined face appeared on the screen, Shangguan Wu felt all her fatigue vanish. She smiled sweetly and said, "Husband, I missed you so much!"

I miss him so much, yet I hung up on him?

Gu Yunzhen asked calmly, "Who were you talking to just now?"

Shangguan Wu shared with him with a smile: "I was video chatting with Liu Qing, but I couldn't go back. So I told him how to change Xiao Hei's dressing. But Xiao Hei wouldn't let him get close. I thought it would take a long time, but he ended up drugging Xiao Hei."

A glint of light flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes.

She was video chatting with another man!

"Who is Xiao Hei?" She's only been there a day and she already knows other people, even calling them by their nicknames?

Shangguan Wu blinked and asked innocently, "Didn't I tell you? Xiao Hei is a Tibetan Mastiff we rescued in the forest. It was badly injured, so we brought it back to our lodgings to take care of it nearby."

Gu Yunzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly said in a deep voice, "Liu Qing is your bodyguard. His duty is to protect your safety, but you left him at school to take care of a dog. You've completely put the cart before the horse!"

Shangguan Wu was taken aback: "Honey, this area in the mountains is mostly populated by elderly people and children left behind; there's no danger..."
