When leaving the main house, Nangong Yi still couldn't quite process this family secret.
However, when he learned that Su Xiaoxiao was his destined wife, he was quite excited.
Nangong Yi never expected that the relationship between the two of them, which they missed because of a single sentence, would be rekindled in this way.
Nangong Cang made him swear that he would not investigate Su Xiaoxiao's secrets, and that he was not allowed to tell anyone outside the Nangong family about this secret.
He solemnly agreed. In order not to implicate his grandfather, Nangong Yi even knelt before the ancestral tablets after learning the secret in advance, and insisted that his grandfather beat him several times as an apology for being an unfilial descendant.
"You're back."
Dan Jiaxi sat in the living room waiting for Nangong Yi. When he saw the other party rush into the house, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your grandfather called before you came back. He transferred all the servants who were frightened by you last night back to the main house. The old housekeeper is currently selecting new servants in the backyard."
"Thank you for your hard work."
After Nangong Yi finished speaking, he ran upstairs. When he saw Su Xiaoxiao suddenly receiving an IV drip, his brows immediately furrowed.
"What happened?"
"Don't be nervous. After you and Grandpa Nangong left, I noticed that she was slowly recovering, just like that day. But not long after, she developed a high fever, which I suspect was caused by covering her up like you did before."
Huangfu Junhao had many questions about Su Xiaoxiao's sudden recovery, but he and Shan Jiaxi chose not to investigate. As long as Su Xiaoxiao was Su Xiaoxiao from now on, they could all feel at ease.
"Give her a bath and change her into clean clothes later. Her fever has gone down a bit now. Jiaxi and I are downstairs. Just tell us if you need anything."
"Thank you, but there are some things I can't explain to you, and I hope you can understand."
Nangong Yi glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who had regained her complexion, but the flutter in his heart could not be calmed down.
Huangfu Junhao shook his head, reached out and patted him heavily on the shoulder, saying, "When brothers are together, there is no next life. We don't need to be so polite between us. If it were either me or Jiaxi today, wouldn't you have done the same?"
Nangong Yi nodded, and as he stood up and walked to Su Xiaoxiao, the tenderness in his eyes reappeared.
"Junhao, if Xiaoxiao is willing to agree, I would like to give her a special wedding, and I will need your help then."
"good!"
After Huangfu Junhao left, I became quiet again.
Nangong Yi gently stroked Su Xiaoxiao's slightly feverish forehead, his self-reproach deepening.
"Xiaoxiao, it seems I've broken my promise again, letting you get into such danger. I always thought I'd be the first to discover your secret, but I never imagined Grandpa had already taken precautions..."
In her dream, Su Xiaoxiao was negotiating with the original owner of the body. At first, she was at a disadvantage, but then a warm power surrounded her. Suddenly, she saw a group of armored guards appear behind her, and in front of her was an old man with white hair wearing a white hunting robe.
Su Xiaoxiao had no idea what had happened. He only saw the old man negotiate with the original owner of the body, and then everyone mysteriously disappeared.
"Su Xiaoxiao, please do two things for me, and from now on, we will have no further connection."
Suddenly, the original owner's voice reached Su Xiaoxiao's ears, and she nodded without hesitation.
"First: Please break my parents' gambling habit. Second: Bring my stepmother's daughter back to them from the countryside."
"good!"
