He didn't know what was wrong, but ever since Dr. Lu gave him acupuncture and administered a different medicine than yesterday in the morning, he started to feel unwell.

Not only does it cause dry mouth and throat, but it also makes you want to urinate frequently.

Sure enough, after only half an hour without drinking a drop of water or going to the toilet, his lips were already so dry they were peeling.

And I can't hold my urine any longer!

He's a respectable scholar, and he'll soon become a successful candidate in the imperial examinations. How could he be in such a sorry state?

But there was no one here except for himself.

Even if he wanted to ask for help, he wouldn't know who to call.

At this moment, Qi Mingyu once again regretted that he had been narrowing his path.

If only he hadn't divorced Chi and hadn't written that divorce agreement!

When he rushed back from the county school and saw Madam Chi sitting at the door, he should have gone over immediately to protect her.

Then, with a slightly distressed voice, he asked her what was wrong and if she felt unwell anywhere. Finally, he carried her to see a doctor.

Of course, he had to "argue" with his parents before leaving.

In this way, Mrs. Chi would think that he was on her side.

He knew nothing; none of it concerned him.

In this way, there will naturally be no divorce from him.

He could openly suffer the heartbreak of his parents, but secretly help them out.

He was stubborn, underestimated the Chi family, and overestimated himself.

If we could have appeased the Chi family back then, none of this mess would have happened now.

Without these troubles, he wouldn't have contracted the plague, and he could have lived a very comfortable life, focusing solely on preparing for his exams.

Qi Mingyu regretted it so much it hurt his liver.

Since his divorce from the Chi family, he had never felt such regret as he did at this moment!

Filled with remorse, Qi Mingyu stared blankly at the door, muttering, "Someone, someone come quick—"

But no one came over, and eventually, because he needed to urinate so urgently, he tried to undo his belt, but couldn't, and then he urinated.

The moment he urinated, he felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, and he stood there frozen.

I peed, peed, peed my pants.

He, a dignified scholar, a future Juren (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), and a future high-ranking official of the Great Chu Kingdom, actually wet his pants.

Although it wasn't in full view of everyone, he was in such a state that he couldn't get up at all, let alone destroy the body.

What's the difference between waiting for someone to come over and wetting your pants in front of others?

At this moment, Qi Mingyu was filled with shame, agitation, and indignation. He wished he could just smash his head against a wall and die, so as not to face the gloating stares of others.

But a bright future awaited him, and he couldn't just sit and wait for his doom.

He needed to change his pants before anyone came by...

Thinking this, Qi Mingyu gritted his teeth and reached out to undo his belt.

After he had spent a great deal of effort to undo his belt, it was already getting dark.

Knowing that Dr. Lu would be arriving soon, he was extremely anxious.

In his anxiety, large beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

When Old Man Qi dragged his weary body and limped over, through the open door, you could vaguely see him panting with his mouth open, his eyes staring blankly at the roof of the shack.

The expression on his face was very sad and desperate, as if his parents had died!

Seeing this, Old Man Qi was furious and immediately shouted, "Second Brother!"

Qi Mingyu rolled his eyes when he heard his father's voice.

Upon seeing the person clearly, she suddenly burst into tears, like a child who had suffered endless grievances.

Old Man Qi, who was already furious, had never seen him like this before.

Seeing this, he was immediately at a loss.

In his eyes, his son was intelligent and sensible from a young age and never lost his composure in front of others.

But he's like this now...

Just as he thought of this, Old Man Qi suddenly sniffed the air and, after smelling a strong stench of urine, an idea came to him.
