This man was none other than Guan Ge Lao's eldest son, named Guan Wude. Guan Ge Lao gave him this name in the hope that he would possess both virtue and talent, as well as martial arts skills.

He was not tall and was slightly overweight. He had just finished court and was still in his official robes, with a slightly protruding belly.

"Why is the front hall so chaotic?!" Guan Wude greeted the guests he met as he walked inside.

"Guests coming and going can see what's happening here."

"Where is Madam? What happened? All the guests are here. Won't we make a fool of ourselves in front of them?!" Guan Wude said in a low voice.

“Father!” Guan Qinqin walked to Guan Wude’s side and grabbed his sleeve.

"My lord, has the lord finished court?" Madam Su greeted him with a smile.

"Oh, what else could it be? It's that little hussy again. Guan Guan has fallen ill. Don't worry, my lord, I've already made arrangements." Su Shi said, linking his arm with Guan Wude's, trying to comfort him.

"Disperse, everyone!" Madam Su waved her hand, signaling the servants inside to leave and not gather there.

"Madam, the doctor has arrived!" a servant ran in to announce.

"A doctor? Who sent someone to fetch him?!" Guan Wude's nerves tensed up immediately, and he asked sharply.

"Today is Guan Guan's birthday banquet, and so many nobles have come. Isn't it taboo to invite a doctor? Isn't this just adding insult to injury for the guests? How unlucky!"

On birthday celebrations, guests come to share in the joy. If the host invites a sick person, it is considered unlucky for the guests.

Furthermore, according to superstition, one should not prepare or take medicine on birthdays or other special occasions, otherwise it will affect the future health of the whole family.

Yun Duoduo, being a modern and advanced individual, naturally didn't believe in this. However, the middle-aged man in front of her and the maids and servants of the Guan family clearly did believe in this belief.

So, apart from the few maids in Guan Guan's courtyard, the others just watched the spectacle with indifference.

"My lord, it wasn't me who called him." Madam Su clenched her hands tightly, looking somewhat nervous.

This doctor wasn't called by Madam Su; it was someone Zhuzhu went out to find the gatekeeper to call during the chaos.

"Give them some loose silver and send them on their way," Guan Wude waved his hand, looking impatient.

"Hurry up and go!" Seeing that no one moved, Madam Su pushed the maid beside her.

"Yes, Madam!"

"Disperse!"

The maids and servants left in a flash, leaving only a few people in the room.

When Guan Wude saw the adorable Yun Duoduo, the silly-looking Jin Zhuangzhuang, and the mischievous Sun Huohuo, he sighed inwardly.

Guan Wude forced himself to stay alert. [After dealing with those old fogies outside, he still had to face this little brat in the palace.]

Why is everyone getting involved? It's really annoying.

Guan Wude put on a kind uncle's face, his eyebrows curved, and looked at Yun Duoduo with a smile, "Princess, my residence is too chaotic. I'm afraid it will disturb you and also pass on your illness to you."

"How about I have someone escort the princess back to the palace?" Guan Wude said, his tone firm and unwavering.

Since Guan Guan is already unconscious, I might as well lend her a hand.

Second sister, don't blame your elder brother for being heartless. This is to allow her to reunite with you as soon as possible, as a way of showing her filial piety.

Yun Duoduo's eyes widened.

Holy crap, what kind of family is this?!

Your daughter is immoral, but you are immoral!

They're all two-faced wolves in sheep's clothing!

Although Grand Secretary Guan was quite accomplished in the court and in the legal system of Nanyang, he was truly inept at educating his children!

These are all heartless monsters.

Yun Duoduo pursed her lips, looked at Guan Wude, and then at Su Shi and Guan Guan's sister, Guan Qinqin.

[What a family of wolves and tigers!]

【You want me to leave? I'm not leaving!】

We can't let your evil scheme succeed.

Yun Duoduo rubbed her forehead and pretended to lean towards Sun Huohuo. Sun Huohuo caught her, and she took the opportunity to squeeze Sun Huohuo's hand.

"Lord Guan, Uncle Guan, this princess has a headache and I'm afraid I can't leave." Yun Duoduo's voice grew softer and softer, with a slight nasal tone.

"Uncle Guan, may I stay here tonight?" Yun Duoduo's big eyes were full of sincerity.

"The carriage ride was so bumpy and uncomfortable!" she said, looking at Guan Wude with a pitiful expression.

Seeing Yun Duoduo's appearance, Guan Wude and Su Shi were at a loss.

We can't just kick the princess out, can we?!

Guan Wude sighed silently, glanced at Madam Su, and said, "Go and prepare a room for the princess."

"Go and make the arrangements." Madam Su patted Guan Qinqin's hand.

Guan Qinqin looked at Su reluctantly, but did not leave.

"Thank you, Uncle Guan, Zhuangzhuang can live with me. As for Huohuo, he's the son of the Minister of War, he..."

Yun Duoduo paused for a moment, implying, "My father is the emperor, you can't afford to offend him. Sun Huohuo's father is the Minister of War, you can't afford to offend him either, right?"

Since you can't afford to mess with them, then make proper arrangements for me!

"Prepare another room for Huo Huo."

"yes."

[What's wrong with this princess? She brings her whole family to her birthday party.]

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the people in front of her, as if they'd eaten shit, Yun Duoduo felt a sense of satisfaction. [I just love seeing you hate me but can't do anything about it.]

Guests were coming and going outside in an endless stream. Guan Wude and Su were busy at the front door, while only Yun Duoduo and a few others remained inside the house.

As the room quieted down, Guan Guan opened his eyes.

"Was I having an attack just now?" she asked softly.

Did she know about her illness?

No wonder Guan Guan always seems so melancholy.

"You're awake?" Yun Duoduo looked at her; she must have been awake a long time ago, but was just pretending to be asleep.

"Am I going to die?" Guan Guan asked Yun Duoduo with worry, sorrow, and hesitation.

"It's not that serious."

[It turns out this wasn't Guan Guan's first episode.]

However, judging from the pulse, the illness doesn't seem to have been properly treated. It's not a difficult or complicated case; with proper treatment, it can be cured quickly.

"No need to worry, I can cure your illness. Just take your medicine on time and you'll get better gradually," Yun Duoduo comforted her.

"Really? I know that if my illness isn't treated in time, I could die when it flares up."

"But, my uncle and aunt, sigh..."

"It's not a serious illness; just pay attention to your diet."

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen," Yun Duoduo patted Guan Guan's hand, reassuring her.
