Madam Bai smelled a strong herbal odor in the room.

It seems that the Mu family has tried many medications in the past few days in an effort to save the little one.

Madam Bai sneered inwardly; this medicine was given to her by her master.

Even if all the imperial physicians of the entire Xuanhuang Kingdom gathered together, they probably still couldn't figure out the cause of this girl's illness!

If the cause of the illness cannot be found, what can be done no matter how many medications are tried?

Madam Bai looked at the little dumpling with a smug expression.

Wasn't this girl very arrogant before?

Why is he bedridden now?!

As expected, they are too young to understand that experience matters.

When the old marquis saw Madam Bai, tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

He held the little boy's hand and said sorrowfully:

"My little granddaughter, why haven't you woken up yet! How can your grandfather live like this!"

Mu Ting was supporting the old Marquis's shoulder, and his expression was also not good.

"Dad, stop talking. If Little Dumpling really doesn't wake up, I'll go with her."

Mu Jinchen said dejectedly, "My sister just got back, how could she suddenly be sick?"

Mu Jinyi shook his head, seemingly having given up all hope.

"We consulted countless imperial physicians and doctors, but they all said that my sister's illness was strange and incurable."

Mu Jinxuan shouted:

"No! I will have someone buy all the precious medicinal herbs right away. No matter how much it costs, I will cure my sister."

Mu Jinnian waved his hand and pressed Mu Jinxuan down.

"Brother, it's no use, my sister probably won't wake up!"

Upon hearing Mu Jinnian's words, Mu Yanxiu burst into tears.

"No, I want my aunt to wake up, I want my aunt to wake up."

Hearing everyone's words, Madam Bai felt extremely pleased. Suppressing the urge to laugh, she covered Mu Yanxiu's mouth.

It seems her plan was very successful; no one suspected her, and they were even ready to give up on saving the little dumpling.

With Madam Bai covering her mouth, Mu Yanxiu could only whimper.

Madam Bai had no choice but to carry her out of the bedroom, and Bai Mengyun had no choice but to follow.

After they left, the little dumpling, who had been lying motionless on the bed, suddenly opened its big, watery eyes.

She grinned at the old marquis.

Seeing his granddaughter's silly grin, the old marquis, who had been looking mournful, couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

Mu Jinxuan quickly whispered to the little dumpling, "Close your eyes, don't let them find out."

outside the house.

"Why are you crying? Don't say anything about your aunt waking up. It would be better if she didn't!" Madam Bai pressed Mu Yanxiu down and scolded her in a low voice.

Mu Yanxiu pushed Madam Bai away.

"I want my aunt to wake up, I want my aunt to wake up."

"If you don't let your aunt wake up, get out of here! I hate you."

Madam Bai was so angry that she slapped Mu Yanxiu on the buttocks.

"You're such a good-for-nothing."

Mu Yanxiu cried even harder after being hit by her.

Bai Mengyun tenderly picked up Mu Yanxiu and said to Madam Bai with displeasure, "Mother, you can say whatever you want, but why hit the child?"

Madam Bai pulled Bai Mengyun along.

“Children don’t understand, don’t you? This girl is definitely not going to survive, why don’t you hurry up and think about what will happen next?”

"Once she dies, you should make the Mu family focus all their energy and money on your children, and find a way to get them to groom them as your successors!"

“Especially your two daughters. Your eldest daughter, I think she only knows how to study. She’s a stubborn person and not worth using.”

"Xiu'er is different; she can cry and make a fuss. You should tell the Mu family to put in a lot of effort and raise her as a future empress. She'll be blessed with endless riches and honors!"

Mu Yanxiu sobbed, and upon hearing Madam Bai's words, she reluctantly said, "I want my little aunt, I don't want to be the empress."

Upon hearing her words, Madam Bai angrily raised her hand to slap her across the face.

Bai Mengyun quickly protected her daughter.

"Mother, although I want my child to have a good life, it doesn't have to mean the little dumpling has to die, does it?"

"Just like before, as long as she's not at the Mu family, that's fine!"

Madam Bai: "Bah! Look at how much the old Marquis and the General dote on her! With her around, your child will never receive the full attention of the Mu family!"

Madam Bai felt that she couldn't reason with the mother and daughter for the time being, so she waved her hand and said, "You take Xiu'er back first, I'll take care of things here."

Bai Mengyun picked up Mu Yanxiu, frowning as she said:

"Mother, don't go too far. He's still just a child."

Madam Bai replied perfunctorily, "I know! I know!"

Mu Yanxiu cried and refused to leave, so Madam Bai had to have her maid and Bai Mengyun carry her away by force.

When Madam Bai returned to her bedroom, she saw that the little dumpling was still unconscious on the bed, and she began to plan her next move.

But Mu Jinnian suddenly spoke up:

“Father! I heard people in the countryside say that in this situation, perhaps the child’s soul has been taken away, which is why he has been unconscious. Why don’t we ask Master Fan to take a look?”
