After Lin Ma came to her senses, she followed Madam Chen and helped Chen Zhaokun, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, to lie down on the soft couch.

Seeing Chen Zhaokun still bleeding, Old Madam Chen's expression changed repeatedly, and Lin Ma was so frightened that she panicked and didn't know what to do.

Just then, they heard a commotion outside.

Madam Chen looked at Lin Ma and said, "Go and take a look, but don't let anyone else know."

"Yes." Lin's mother went out to check.

When no one was paying attention, Madam Chen quickly took out a small medicine bottle from the drawer next to her, then forcefully tore open Chen Zhaokun's injured area and sprinkled the medicine powder directly onto it.

The wound, which was still bleeding, gradually stopped bleeding.

Chen Zhaokun kept looking at his mother. He knew his mother was no ordinary person, but he never expected her to have such a wonderful thing.

Just as they were about to say something, Madam Chen left to start bandaging the wound. When Lin Ma came over, Old Madam Chen pulled over the clothes next to her and covered her son with them.

"Madam, it seems something has happened over there?"

Lin Ma was very impatient. The master had just been injured and they didn't even know what had happened yet, and now Wang Yuyan was causing trouble. It was so annoying.

"Never mind that, go find Doctor Shi."

"Yes," Lin Ma replied and left.

"Dr. Shi?" Chen Zhaokun's injury wasn't too serious, but he had a lot of blood on his body, which looked quite alarming.

“Yuan’er is quite capable; she actually knows Doctor Shi, who is a great hero in the fight against the plague in Xu City.”

Chen Zhaokun understood who he was referring to: Shi Dahai.

The man used a common prescription to cure the plague. Later, it was because of this, along with the events in Nancheng, that his daughter was granted the title of a first-rank imperial consort.

"So it was him!"

"You know him?"

I had the chance to meet this person once.

"That's good. I'll have him come and take a look at you later."

Chen Zhaokun didn't care much. With such good medicine from his mother, there was no need for Doctor Shi. Since his mother insisted, he, as her son, knew to obey.

While Lin Ma went to invite someone, Old Madam Chen sat down and asked some questions.

Chen Zhaokun talked about his injury, but didn't mention it at all.

Madam Chen was a worldly woman, and she didn't ask the same probing questions as ordinary ladies.

Not long after, Shi Dahai arrived, diagnosed the patient, prescribed medicine, and left quickly.

After all that commotion, half an hour had passed.

By the time Chen Zhaokun sat down at the table to eat with his mother, a long time had passed.

Mrs. Chen didn't eat much for dinner originally, but seeing her son put her mind at ease, and her appetite returned.

Whether by chance or because he had learned something, Chen Luyang returned from outside after being out of sight for several days.

His arrival subtly changed the quiet atmosphere.

After dinner, Chen Zhaokun took his son to the study.

Madam Chen did indeed have a good night's sleep.

With such a major event happening in the family, she shouldn't be able to sleep, but she was sleeping very soundly.

She knew that no matter what happened, her son could handle it.

Now her grandson is no longer the same grandson he used to be, and her granddaughter is no longer the same either. She, as the grandmother, can now live a peaceful life as a grandmother raised at home.

Chen Luyang followed Chen Zhaokun into the study. As soon as he entered, he closed the door and immediately knelt on the ground. "Father, it's my fault."

Chen Zhaokun helped Chen Luyang to his feet. "This is not your fault."

"It was my carelessness that led to my being schemed against by the Wang family," Chen Luyang admitted with a sense of responsibility.

If he had been more careful back then, he wouldn't have been schemed against by Wang Yuyan, and he wouldn't have let the Wang family... Thinking of this, he felt a surge of anger.

To outsiders, he was honest and kind, almost to the point of being foolish. He was still intelligent, but he just looked like that.

He's been away from home almost all the time lately, but he still knows about Wang Yuyan's whereabouts.

It was precisely because of this that he disliked Wang Yuyan even more.

"Don't worry about the Wang family's affairs, there will be a result soon. But about your love potion..." After all, they are father and son, and he genuinely cares about them.

"It's alright, I've thought of a way." Chen Luyang wasn't too disappointed when he heard this.

My sister is planning to go to the Feathered Clan, and it would be good if he went with her...

In Chen Luyang's view, now that his father has returned, he no longer needs to stay here all the time. Instead, he can go out and create opportunities.

The thought of being able to spend some time alone makes me incredibly happy.

“Alright, I heard Yuan’er is going to the Feather Clan. You can go with her too, that way I’ll feel at ease.” Chen Zhaokun said, seemingly unaware of his son’s thoughts.

Chen Luyang was so happy that he didn't realize how his father, who wasn't around, could know so much about what was happening here.

the next day.

Upon learning that Chen Zhaokun had returned, Chen Siyuan immediately arrived with two maids.

On the way here, I bought two jars of good wine.

Chen Luyang was out running errands when he encountered Chen Siyuan and saw her carrying a wine jar, so he quickly reached out to help her.

They headed straight for their father's North Garden.

When they arrived, Madam Chen was also there.

The family's long-awaited reunion was a joyous occasion.

During the meal, Chen Siyuan originally planned to have Chunping buy some Su Ji pastries to add to the atmosphere, but she saw Wang Yuyan standing outside the courtyard.

Upon seeing Wang Yuyan, she asked Chunping to buy it, and then went to Wang Yuyan herself.

"Yu Yan, you've come at the right time. Dinner is about to start, let's eat together."

"No, thank you." Wang Yuyan knew how others perceived her. Seeing how pleasant their atmosphere was, she knew her presence would only make things worse.

"It's okay, it's just a meal."

Wang Yuyan shook her head, "I just came to take a look."

Seeing Wang Yuyan's insistence, Chen Siyuan didn't know what to say. She hadn't investigated the matter between her elder brother and Wang Yuyan, and for her elder brother and grandmother to be so resistant, something terrible must have happened.

"Madam, I've come to tell you that you absolutely must not go to Ping'an Temple recently, it's not safe there."

"Ping'an Temple?" The unpleasant memory resurfaced, but Chen Siyuan did not show it on her face.

I have doubts about what Wang Yuyan said.

What did she mean by that?

How could she, who spends all day in the mansion and hardly ever goes out, say such a thing?

Did they find out something?
