Wet footprints extended all the way from the eaves of the door into the room.
It was raining heavily outside, but the door of the house was open. In the dim light of the rainy day, a figure could be vaguely seen sitting at the table inside the house, motionless.
In the silent room, the only sounds Su Muyan could hear were the sound of the rain outside and the conversation between Zhao Ju and the prince echoing in her mind.
The Su Mansion is gone, my brother is dead...
She stared blankly outside the house.
Seeing Zhao Ju walking towards him with an umbrella, he walked to the door, slowly folded the oil-paper umbrella and leaned it against the wall outside the door, then stepped into the room.
This liar!
Su Muyan picked up the boiling hot kettle at hand and threw it at Zhao Ju, but Zhao Ju dodged it.
"Bastard! Didn't you say my brother was still alive?" She roared hoarsely, her voice trembling with despair.
"Did you hear everything?" Zhao Ju strode closer and opened his arms to hold her in his arms, as usual.
Su Muyan dodged sideways and pushed him away fiercely.
"Yes! I heard everything!" She raised her hand and slapped him hard, demanding, "Why did you lie to me? Why did you lie to me?"
Su Muyan asked loudly with a trembling voice.
She had been looking forward to the reunion between brother and sister, but now the bloody truth has been revealed, and the final result is that they are separated by life and death?
She was in a trance and shook her head frantically: "No, I heard it wrong, right? I must have heard it wrong..."
"Zhao Ju, where is my brother? Can you take me to see him?"
Zhao Ju looked at her tear-stained face and pleading tone, his Adam's apple moving slightly.
It was precisely because he knew that Su Muyan would react like this that he kept it a secret and did not dare to tell her the truth.
Zhao Ju held her tightly in his arms, feeling her soft and trembling body. He rested his chin on top of her head and apologized softly.
"Yan'er, I'm sorry, I couldn't save my cousin."
These words came into Su Muyan's ears along with the thunder in the sky, making her mind go blank.
The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and despair surged like a tide.
Tears flowed out of my eyes like beads from a broken string, quickly blurring my vision.
"No! How could this happen..." She excitedly held Zhao Ju's arm tightly, speaking incoherently, "My brother won't die, we agreed... How could he leave me alone! I didn't even see him for the last time!"
She pulled Zhao Ju out and said, "Please, take me to find my brother. I want to see him..."
Zhao Ju stopped her from leaving recklessly: "Yan'er, my cousin is indeed dead, and the body is being handled by the Dali Temple. Even if you go to the capital now, you won't be able to see him."
"His last words were: I want you to live well. The only thing he's worried about in this world is you, his sister. He asked me to take good care of you..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Before he could finish, Su Muyan yelled excitedly, "You're still lying to me! You..."
Before she finished her words, she suddenly felt dizzy and her eyes went dark.
Zhao Ju hurriedly caught her limp body and held her in his arms.
"Someone! Go call the doctor!"
The maid guarding the door responded hurriedly and rushed into the rain to call for a doctor.
Zhao Ju changed Su Muyan's wet clothes and laid her down on the bed.
Worried, he reached out and took Su Muyan's pulse first.
Happy pulse?
At this moment, Zhao Ju only regretted that he had not inherited his family's traditional Chinese medicine skills well, and even his pulse diagnosis skills were only half-baked.
I suppressed my excitement and finally waited for the doctor to come.
He had kept the old doctor in his mansion at a large expense, and he was also a disciple of the Zhao family.
Seeing the doctor's solemn expression gradually relax, Zhao Ju asked expectantly, "How is it?"
The old doctor stood up and said respectfully to Zhao Ju, "Congratulations, sir. Miss Su is pregnant."
When Zhao Ju heard this, the hanging heart in his heart finally exploded like fireworks, and the smile on his lips instantly widened.
"Is there anything I should be aware of? If you need anything, just let me know. No matter how expensive any medicinal material is, just tell me."
The old doctor said, "This... is indeed not right. Because Miss Su has been taking medication, her pulse is unstable. If we are not careful, the child will have an accident."
"Sir, the most important thing now is to let Miss Su stop taking this medicine and rest assured to take care of the baby. But her mind is damaged now. If she is stimulated again, I am afraid both the adult and the child will be in danger." The old doctor sighed heavily.
The Zhao family gained status and money by being "comparable to gods", but it also harmed the descendants of the Zhao family!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ju's breathing stopped.
Suddenly, Su Muyan on the bed muttered, "Brother... don't leave me..."
Her cheeks were thin, her face was pale, and her tightly closed eyelids kept trembling, as if she was about to wake up at any time.
Zhao Ju immediately sat down beside the bed and held her hand: "Yan'er, I'm here, I'm here..."
Su Muyan slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Ju with empty eyes: "Cousin, tell me, am I ridiculous? If I hadn't run away from the marriage at the beginning, would the result be different? It's ridiculous that I ran away in the end, except for getting my brother into trouble, the ending is still the same."
Her words were like a sharp knife piercing Zhao Ju's heart, causing him so much pain that he had difficulty breathing.
After being together for so long, he thought his cousin had at least a little affection for him.
But it turned out that he was just being sentimental.
Looking at the pale-faced woman on the bed, Zhao Ju took a deep breath.
He caressed her thin cheek distressedly: "Yan'er, you still have me, and..." He paused, and ultimately did not dare to mention the matter of the child at this time, "You still have a future."
