Moreover, in this matter, both she and Yun Tianbai were victims. She was not at fault and should not be wronged.

Su had a headache and dared not agree immediately.

Su Youran couldn't bear to see her mother suffering from a headache, so she suggested that they return to the mansion to discuss the matter with the old lady and make further plans.

Xiao Shi naturally didn't dare to make the decision for the Yun family, so she repeatedly said yes and saw both families off politely before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

...

Back at the Yun family home, chaos ensued once again. Yun Tianbai strongly disagreed with Wu Xinxin joining the family, but Yun Yue angrily scolded him for being irresponsible and made him reflect on his actions by facing the wall.

Yun Tianbai had a bitter pill to swallow. He couldn't say that Wu Xinxin had already been with countless men, so how could he take such a woman into his household?

Shi Wenxia was deeply moved, believing that Yun Tianbai had remained chaste for her sake. Although he had made a grave mistake due to drugging, he still maintained his purity and refused to take a concubine.

Both Madam Yun and Madam Su believed that the girl's reputation should not be ruined for nothing, and that she should at least be taken into the household. As for whether she should be a secondary wife, that was still up for discussion.

Therefore, the family failed to reach a consensus and reached a stalemate.

...

Nighttime, in another place, in Su Youran's bedroom.

She was in her room, but at that moment she was plunged into deep pain.

That was excruciating pain...

One scream after another, but not a single word came out.

Su Yue was terrified. No matter how she called, she couldn't wake her mistress, so she hurriedly called Madam Su over.

Mrs. Su was terrified. She hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, trying to give her warmth and security, but she still couldn't wake her up.

Su Youchen also arrived, took his sister's pulse, his brows furrowed deeply, and he couldn't reach a conclusion.

Since it was already late at night, the local physician was called in, but he only said that there were no signs of poisoning and that the person was probably just frightened.

The next morning, Su, who hadn't slept a wink all night, immediately sent someone to invite Doctor Gu and Imperial Preceptor Wuwang.

The renowned physician Gu examined the patient until midnight, taking both the pulse and the eyelids, but to no avail.

After reading it, Wu Wang asked Su Youchen and Madam Su with a serious expression, "Did she encounter anything yesterday?"

Madam Su thought for a moment, "Yesterday we went to the Zhou residence to celebrate the birthday of Grand Tutor Zhou. If there was anything strange that happened, it was only..."

She awkwardly recounted how Yun Tianbai of the Zhou family had been framed.

Finally, he added, "But Bai-ge'er, who was framed, agreed to bring Miss Wu into the manor at the time and didn't react in any particular way. Her current state shouldn't be related to this, right?"

Recalling his sister's mocking and gloating expression at the time, Su Youchen said with certainty, "It's absolutely impossible for it to be related to this matter. My elder brother has been at the border for many years, and I've heard that he used to treat my sister coldly. Their relationship shouldn't be particularly good. How could my sister be so terrified just because my brother was framed?"

Seeing the pain and terror on his sister's face, he felt heartbroken.

What kind of nightmare could cause my sister to be in so much pain?

Wu Wang sighed deeply, offering no rebuttal, but said, “Judging from her appearance, she must be restless. I will set up a soul-calming array to help her gradually calm down. My disciple’s mother, go and find the seven items she uses most often and finds most comforting when she sees them. At the latest, she will regain her senses in forty-nine days.”

Madam Su quickly agreed and took Su Yue out to search.

Seeing that no one was in the room, Su Youchen frowned and asked in a low voice, "Master, did you ever tell me that those whose souls are restless usually refer to those whose souls have left their bodies and returned to their original state? Could it be that my sister... once...?"

He became increasingly terrified as he spoke; what had his sister gone through?!

He suddenly remembered that many years ago, when they were in Kyoto, his sister suddenly seemed to have become a different person, and the series of strange things she did afterward were unlike the sister she used to be.

When he returned, he saw the wealth empire his sister had built, including the Golden Jade Banquet, the Pearl Milk Tea Shop, the Fish Hot Pot Restaurant, the Surgical Operating Room, and the June Intoxication... It was definitely not something an ordinary person could create!

A terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.

"Could it be... that another soul resides in my sister's body?" he asked in horror.

Wu Wang shook his head. "No, You Ran is You Ran, but... she..."

He stopped. "Chen'er, when the time is right, I will tell you everything. Right now, the most important thing is to take good care of You Ran's soul, so that she can overcome the nightmares of the past and look to the future."

Su Youchen understood the implication in his words and knew that asking further would be useless, so she could only grit her teeth and ask, "Is this matter really related to Yun Tianbai?"

Wu Wang shook his head again, "Not necessarily. Perhaps yesterday she discovered something we don't know about."

Su Youchen already felt that there must be something going on between his sister and Yun Tianbai!

The Su family quickly found several items that Su Youran was used to using.

Wu Wang placed them in the appropriate positions and then drew a dazzling array of runes.

Su Shi couldn't understand it either. Anyway, ever since she heard that Grand Tutor Zhou had regained consciousness after the eldest and seventh senior brothers exorcised evil spirits, she had become more and more awe-inspiring about these ghosts and gods.

Moreover, after Wuwang set up the formation, she felt that her daughter seemed to be more at ease and gradually fell asleep.

However, less than three hours later, she began to struggle and scream again, though the intensity seemed to be less than before.

Moreover, the duration was shorter, and she was in a semi-conscious state for a moment, but for some reason, she kept clutching her stomach.

Madam Su was extremely anxious. Taking advantage of her brief semi-conscious state, she quickly had Su Yue bring her ginseng porridge and feed it to her. Worried that she might have a stomachache, she gently massaged her abdomen.

In that case, how could she possibly care about the affairs of Yun Tianbai's household?

On Yun Tianbai's side, upon hearing that Su Youran had fallen ill, he was both worried and secretly pleased.

Could it be that although Su Youran in this life has no memories of her previous life, her heart is still connected with his? Knowing that he was framed, she was worried and jealous, so she fell ill?

Since it was inconvenient for him to visit his sister in her room, he asked Shi Wenxia to check on his sixth sister.

To everyone's surprise, Shi Wenxia was also unable to enter her boudoir. He only heard from the servants that the Sixth Miss was very ill and could not get out of bed.

When Shi Wenxia returned, she said to Yun Tianbai, "I don't know what illness she has. She says she can't get out of bed and won't let outsiders into her room. I'm very worried, so I sent her a wild ginseng. I'll go check on her again in a few days."

Yun Tianbai hummed in response, without showing much expression.

Shi Wenxia was relieved to see this.

Just when we thought we could relax, another piece of bad news arrived.

Even under the dual pressure from Old Madam Yun and Yun Yue, Yun Tianbai still refused to take Wu Xinxin into his family, firmly rejecting this "old woman".

As for having a concubine or a secondary wife, don't even think about it.

Unexpectedly, on the sixth day, a eunuch suddenly arrived at the palace and announced the Empress's decree, ordering Wu Xinxin to enter the Duke of Pingguo's mansion and marry Yun Tianbai, becoming his second wife.

Shi Wenxia was both surprised and furious.
