Xia Yan: “…”

It was under such circumstances that Sima Kuang came to visit.

Xia Ben had already instructed the doorman that if Sima Kuang came again, he should be sent away and not allowed to come in.

The doorman naturally treated his words as an imperial decree and carried them out without any discount.

So this time when Sima Kuang visited, he couldn't even enter the Xia family's door.

This is completely different from the past when people were welcomed and well served as soon as they arrived.

The gap was too big, and Sima Kuang found it difficult to accept it for a while.

In the past, Xia Yan had begged him to come but he refused to come. Now, she had even turned him away. Xia Yan was really great! Although he didn't want to come, if he didn't solve the problem of the slap in the face yesterday, his life would be difficult in the future.

He also wanted Xia Yan to take the initiative to bear the huge loss of two thousand spirit stones.

Today, he had to see Xia Yan no matter what.

"Please inform Miss Xia." At his signal, the attendant behind him stepped forward and handed a purse to the doorman.

Xia Ben happened to see this scene when he came back.

"Hey, isn't this the third son of the City Lord's Mansion? How come you have the leisure to come to our Xia Mansion? Your presence here really brings honor to our humble Xia Mansion. Haha, don't you agree?"

The followers behind Xia Ben immediately echoed and threw skills such as "pointing at the mulberry tree and cursing the locust tree" and "making innuendos" at Sima Kuang.

Sima Kuang felt deeply humiliated.

He took a deep breath and swallowed it for now. One day, he would pay it back a thousand times! "I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I came here today to apologize to your sister. Mr. Xia, I hope you can be lenient."

Sima Kuang felt that he had humbled himself very much, but in Xia Ben's opinion, there was no sign of apology on his face.

What the hell!

"Apologize? Are you sure?" Xia Ben walked over and opened the gift box held by Sima Kuang's follower.

"Pearls this small are not even worthy of being set on my sister's shoes."

"Isn't this hairpin too insincere? My maids don't even bother to wear it, and you're so eager to give it to my sister?"

"Is this abalone? Do you think our Xia family is beggars? How dare you give us this cheap stuff?"

…

Xia Ben criticized them one by one. In his opinion, none of the apologies brought by Sima Kuang were sincere.

Sima Kuang clenched his fists tightly and wanted to rush over and knock him to the ground several times, beating him so hard that even his parents wouldn't recognize him, but reason stopped him.

Just then, a man ran out of the mansion in a panic, without even bothering to greet Xia Ben.

"Hey Feng Yu, where are you going?" Xia Ben called him.

Feng Yu said anxiously: "I will go get the doctor, the young lady -"

Noticing that this was outside, he could only mumble, "The situation is a little bad. The lady fainted from fright."

"What? My mother fainted from fright?" Xia Ben ran inside immediately, not caring about Sima Kuang at all.

Sima Kuang's eyes flashed and he followed in.

The doorman couldn't do anything to him directly, so he could only watch him go in.

"Mother!" Xia Ben rushed into Shuangqing Pavilion and saw An sitting beside the bed crying.

He walked over and said, "Mom, I heard that my sister is not doing well. What happened?"

An wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Your sister..." Before she finished her words, tears started flowing again.

Sima Kuang walked in, "Aunt, what happened to Yanyan?"

When An saw him, she no longer had the enthusiasm she had before. No mother could have a good impression of someone who slapped her daughter in public. She said in a cold tone, "Did you call her Yanyan? The Third Young Master has nothing to do with my Yanyan. You'd better be more careful in the future. In addition, the Third Young Master doesn't need to worry about Yanyan's affairs. Shanhu, show her away."

How could Sima Kuang be willing to be driven away before he even met the person?

With a hardened heart, she knelt down in front of the bed and said, "Yan...Miss Xia, I really didn't mean what happened yesterday. I have no complaints if you want to hit me or scold me. I just hope you don't hold your anger in your heart and hurt yourself."

Sima Kuang was moved by himself.

Unfortunately, An and Xia Ben just watched coldly, and even had ridicule in their eyes.

Xia Yan hid in the quilt, her mind in a mess. Sometimes she thought of the slow-motion scene of Sima Kuang slapping her yesterday, and sometimes she thought of his words admitting his mistake.

He really didn't mean it, right? After all, they grew up together and they have a deep bond. How could he do that to a woman he had only known for a few days?

"You go back first, I'll come to see you in a few days." Xia Yan, who had not responded to An just now, couldn't help but speak to Sima Kuang at this moment.

But the quilt was still covered tightly, without a single gap.

How could she let him see her in this horrible state?

Unfortunately, in Sima Kuang's view, she was deliberately avoiding him and trying to avoid seeing him.

A sinister look flashed across his eyes, and he slowly stood up from the ground.

Just then, the doctor came.

Suddenly no one cared about him.

"Yanyan, the doctor is here, please come out and let him take a look."

An tried to lift the quilt.

Xia Yan thought Sima Kuang had left, so her hands holding the quilt were not as firm as before.

Although she didn't want others to see her like this, how could the doctor treat her if she didn't let others see her?

When her face was revealed, even the experienced doctor was shocked.

Is Miss Xia possessed by a toad? How terrible! But as a doctor, he must keep calm.

The doctor calmed himself down and took Xia Yan's pulse.

Sima Kuang, who was standing aside and watching secretly, quietly stepped forward, wanting to see what Xia Yan looked like now and why even the doctor had such a frightened expression.

Xia Ben came back to his senses from his shock and noticed that Sima Kuang was still there and trying to peek at Xia Yan. He frowned and forcibly took him out.

After checking her pulse, the doctor shook his head helplessly at the hopeful looks of An and Xia Yan. "Forgive me for my poor medical skills. I can't tell what Miss Xia's symptoms are."

The maid sent the doctor out.

An touched Xia Yan's hair soothingly, "Don't worry, Yanyan, there will always be someone who can heal you."

Afterwards, the Xia family invited several doctors in succession, almost all the famous doctors in Yufu City.

That night, the first doctor who was invited to see Xia Yan suddenly felt itchy on his body. When he scratched it, he felt something was wrong. Why did he have so many lumps on his body?

When I pressed it, it was still a little soft, and something seemed to be flowing out.
