The maid lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Pei Minghan, however, frowned and spoke weakly.

"I told him not to go to the doctor. Don't let people know I'm injured for now. I'm fine, I can just bear it for a bit. I'll go to the hospital after Pei Fengzhi's case is resolved. I'll be fine."

Pei Minghan slowly got up as she spoke.

His ribs were broken, and every word he spoke and every breath he took was painful, but he seemed oblivious to it, staring with a sinister gaze in a certain direction, lost in thought.

Madam Pei trembled slightly under Pei Minghan's gaze. She wanted to ask something, but in the end, she didn't dare to ask. She could only help Pei Minghan up and whisper words of advice.

“Minghan, nothing is more important than your health. If you don’t want to go to the hospital, Mom has a friend who has his own medical laboratory. He’s very tight-lipped and will never reveal your condition!”

Pei Minghan gave a deep laugh.

"Mom, I'm fine, really. I want to wait for Grandpa's final decision."

...

In Old Master Pei's room.

Old Master Pei and Fourth Master Pei sat facing each other, staring at each other with wide eyes. Both of them looked unwell and were breathing rapidly, clearly having just had a fight.

Master Pei was furious and pointed at Master Pei, angrily rebuking him.

"You old geezer, why can't I understand you no matter what I say! Why won't you listen to reason! You're driving me crazy, driving me crazy!"

Master Pei picked up the cup of tea that Ye Ningwan had just brewed for him, which was on the coffee table, and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking it, I felt my heart and lungs were clear, the rusty taste in my throat disappeared, my mouth was no longer dry, and my tongue felt comfortable, sweeping away the fatigue and dry mouth I had just experienced.

Master Pei glanced down at the teacup and saw that it contained a few chrysanthemums, goji berries, cassia seeds, and other cooling and heat-clearing ingredients.

Master Pei had a sudden thought and couldn't help but smile.

Ye Ningwan clearly anticipated that the two old men would end up arguing, so she brewed him chrysanthemum tea in advance to cool him down and relieve his dryness. I don't know whether to call her clever or considerate.

Master Pei put down his teacup, sighed, and said to Old Master Pei.

"You're not as sensible as your ninth brother's wife! The older you get, the more willful and confused you become!"

Old Master Pei snorted coldly and said irritably.

"No matter what you say, I will absolutely not agree to remove Pei Fengzhi from the family register!"
