Chapter 81 Entrusting the Child
"Sister, if you have anything to say, just speak up."
Shen Zhou sat by the bed, holding Cheng Shuyi's skinny hand, and felt sad again.
Stomach cancer made Cheng Shuyi unable to eat, so she lost a lot of weight in just a few days.
Lin Yu brought a stool and sat aside, wiping her tears.
Cheng Shuyi took a deep and slow breath. She wanted to appear relaxed as usual, but found that she couldn't do it.
Illness comes like a mountain falling.
As expected, she couldn't bear it anymore while lying there.
"Sister Zhou, Sister Yu..." Cheng Shuyi's voice was very soft and labored. "I knew I was sick before I moved to Pingxi Lane, so I was prepared."
"I don't want to die in front of my two children, so I plan to... ahem!"
"younger sister!"
Shen Zhou and Lin Yu cried until their handkerchiefs were wet.
"I'm fine."
Cheng Shuyi waved his hand and continued, "I plan to leave here in two days and go back to my previous place."
"I will leave the child to the prince, but once I leave, I'm afraid Qiqixuxu will be crying and looking for me for a while."
When talking about children, Cheng Shuyi couldn't help crying.
She had been mentally preparing for more than four months to return to ancient times to entrust her orphan to someone else.
But when that day finally came, she was still reluctant to leave.
Leaving was much harder than she had imagined.
Cheng Shuyi propped herself up and tried to get up, saying in a tearful voice, "If Qiqi Xuxu cries and looks for her mother, I hope you two sisters can help comfort her. I kowtow to you two sisters here."
She struggled to get up, but was pushed back onto the bed by the two men.
"Sister, don't talk nonsense!"
Shen Zhou covered her face and cried. She wiped her tears before daring to look at her, but she started crying again as she spoke.
"The prince has sent for the best doctor. You will be fine."
Cheng Shuyi shook his head weakly, "It's too late. I know my body well. It's too late..."
"Qiqi and Xuxu are still young. If they start crying, you two sisters can beat them or scold them, but just don't leave them alone."
"They've been without a father since they were young, and now they've lost their mother. I'm afraid they can't bear it."
"Your Highness... He doesn't know how to take care of children. Qiqi is fine, but Xuxu is a girl. From now on... she will have to rely on the guidance of the two sisters."
"I will also tell the prince to allow the two children to leave the palace more often."
Zhou and Yu held Cheng Shuyi's hands tightly and burst into tears.
Cheng Shuyi still had a lot of things to explain, so he told them all while he still had some strength.
"As the godmother of Chang'er and Yan'er, I prepared some things for them before I left. Please take them back for me, sisters."
When Cheng Shuyi felt that his health was failing, he returned to the modern era to make preparations.
I bought a lot of things for the two children, and also prepared some for Chang'er and Yan'er.
The two children got it last time when they went to play in Modern Times. They saw it but were too embarrassed to ask her for it.
Shen Zhou looked at the things Cheng Shuyi prepared for Chang Ge'er and burst into tears: "God, you are so unfair..."
Lin Yu was stronger and accepted Cheng Shuyi's request, "Don't worry, sister, I will take good care of the child for you."
The three women in the room cried heartbreakingly.
Pei Yanli stood in the yard with red eyes.
He clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, not even noticing that his nails were digging into his flesh.
After Zhao Ning took Cheng Shuyi's pulse today, he told him for the first time to prepare for his funeral.
When Pei Yanli heard those words, he immediately fell into his chair, his mind going blank.
Who could know how long he had been crying secretly in the room.
"Your Majesty."
Shen Zhou and Lin Yu came out with red eyes and bowed to Pei Yan: "Sister, please come in, Your Majesty, we have something to say."
Pei Yanli nodded, calmed his expression a little, and then turned and walked into Cheng Shuyi's room.
Cheng Shuyi was still half-leaning on the bed. When she saw him come in, she spoke directly.
"Your Majesty, please ask Young Master Qin and General Mo to come over, as well as Manager He from my shop."
"I have something to say."
Pei Yanli saw that she wanted to explain this and that, and looked like she was waiting to die calmly.
He was so angry that he wanted to explode.
But he really couldn't bear it.
"Lie down and take a rest. I will send someone to invite them right away." Pei Yanli walked over and helped her lie down.
After saying so much just now, Cheng Shuyi was really tired.
She closed her eyes and fell into a daze again.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark.
The two children who were accompanying her by the bed immediately burst into tears when they saw her wake up.
Her brother held her hand and cried, "Shuyi, why are you always sick? When can you get better? I want you to get better."
Her younger sister threw herself into her arms and said, "Shuyi, don't lie down. I'm scared..."
The atmosphere at home these days has made the two children feel very uneasy.
Although Dad didn't say it, they could feel that Shuyi was in a bad condition.
Cheng Shuyi wanted to comfort the two children, but she was powerless.
She had eaten almost nothing these days and was so weak that she couldn't even lift her hands.
Fortunately, Pei Yanli came in and picked up the two children.
"Young Master Qin and the others are already here. Get up and eat something first. Drink the medicine before we talk."
Pei Yanli took the two children to the next room and asked Mo Xiao to play with them for a while.
He brought porridge and medicine to Cheng Shuyi.
Cheng Shuyi glanced at the bowl of porridge and medicine and shook his head, "I don't want to eat."
In her current condition, she vomits whatever she eats.
In the end, you are the one who suffers.
Pei Yanli insisted on feeding her.
The reason she is so weak now is because she eats too little.
If she could eat a few more bites, she wouldn't be so weak that she can't even speak like she is now.
"Your inability to eat is a mental problem. Without physical strength, no matter how good the medicine is, it will be ineffective. It's like pouring it on wood."
"...If you can't speak, just shut up."
"Look, after eating two bites, you already have the energy to curse me."
Pei Yanli pretended to be very nice in front of her and never showed any sadness.
He just wanted to make her feel that there was still hope.
If even he couldn't hold on, she would probably collapse even more completely.
After eating half a bowl of porridge, Cheng Shuyi stopped eating.
Pei Yanli put down the porridge and fed her the medicine.
After drinking a bowl of medicine, Cheng Shuyi felt much better.
Zhao Ning's medical skills were quite impressive. At least every time after giving her acupuncture and drinking her medicine, she felt much better.
But as soon as the effect of the medicine wore off, she became unwell again.
Moreover, the effect of the decoction is too short, and it basically becomes ineffective after half an hour.
But she can't keep drinking a bowl of medicine every half an hour.
All medicines are poisonous.
Even if she becomes immune, she will still die.
"Please invite Mr. Qin to the main hall for me." Cheng Shuyi's voice was obviously much stronger, and he was able to get up and out of bed.
She was going to the main hall to meet Qin Yan.
