Chapter 188 Feigning Illness to Avoid Visiting Relatives

The third day of the Lunar New Year is a day for family reunion and joy, but Yun Wangshu developed a fever so high that she became like a hot water bottle.

Shen Suyun was stunned. This person was perfectly fine when he woke up this morning, and in the blink of an eye, he was burning up like this?!

She touched Yun Wangshu's burning forehead, both shocked and panicked: "Xiang Jin, quick, go find Xiao Zhang and drive Shushu to the hospital!!"

Mu Xiangjin was also terrified and turned to run out to find someone, but Mu Xiangqian grabbed him and said, "Where are you going? If you have time to wait for Xiao Zhang to come over, I can run there with Shushu in my arms!"

At this moment, Shen Suyun's maternal love did not extend to her eldest son. She slapped him on the head and said, "Why are you running? It's so cold outside. Can Shushu stand the wind?!"

Seeing his younger sister's face was almost flushed, Mu Xiangqian ignored his irritable mother, picked her up, and started to carry her outside. "Mom, cover Shushu's face with some clothes so she won't get chilled!"

Shen Suyun stamped her foot, turned around and went to the bedroom to get her cotton-padded coat.

Yun Wangshu didn't want to go to the hospital. She reached out and grabbed Mu Xiangqian's arm, then forcefully jumped off his arms.

Mu Xiangqian: ? ? ? !!!

"Shushu???"

Yun Wangshu staggered. Sure enough, forcing herself to have a surge of blood and qi would cause brain hypoxia, and she felt a little dizzy.

"It's alright, brother, I'm fine. Look how agile I am!"

Mu Xiangqian: ...Oh no, he's already delirious from the fever.

He became even more worried and squatted down with his back to her: "Come on, get on, I'll take you to the hospital first. No matter what, we need to bring down your fever first."

Yun Wangshu waved her hand, strode back to her room, quickly took off her shoes, lay down, and covered herself with a blanket. "Big brother, pour me a glass of water. I have some fever reducer; I'll feel better after taking it."

Fearing he wouldn't believe her, she pulled a small packet of medicine from under her pillow. Inside were two small white pills, fever reducers.

Mu Xiangqian's mind was racing. Why were there fever reducers under his sister's pillow?

Despite his doubts, his legs still honestly went to pour the water.

After taking her medicine, Yun Wangshu started complaining of sleepiness: "Mom, eldest brother, second brother, I need to rest. I can't go to Grandpa and Grandma's house with you. Don't worry about me, go and have fun by yourselves."

Shen Suyun thought it was incredibly unreliable: "Shushu, why don't we go to the hospital? How can you not see a doctor when you have such a high fever?"

Yun Wangshu covered her head and burrowed under the covers: "Mom, I'm going to sleep. Remember to close the door when you leave."

Shen Suyun: ...The child has rebelled?

No way?

Mu Xiangqian seemed to have figured something out. He glanced at his sister, who was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, and decisively dragged his mother and brother out.

"Mom, Grandpa has already made arrangements, so it wouldn't be good if we didn't go. You and Xiang go in, I'll stay here to keep an eye on Shushu so I can handle any issues promptly."

Shen Suyun wanted to say that she wouldn't go either, but when she thought of her father's face, she swallowed her words. They had agreed before the New Year to go back today, and if she didn't go, her father probably wouldn't be able to sleep.

But she had a different opinion on who should stay: "Xiang Jin stays, you come with me. You haven't been back for several years, and you've finally come back this year, so you should at least go and see your elders."

Mu Xiangjin: ...

To be honest, he didn't want to go either.

"I'm going to visit my grandparents in a couple of days. I'm worried about Xiang Jin because he's clumsy, and my arms can't get cold, so I'll rest for a couple of days before going out."

Mu Xiangjin: Brother? ???

Mu Xiangqian smiled kindly at him and said, "Sorry, little brother, I really don't want to be surrounded by people pressuring me to get married."
