Aunt Yu was plump and had a lot of fat on her body. She screamed when the teacup hit her.
"Madam, I truly relayed your message as you instructed. It was Fourth Miss... she clearly intended to seduce Young Master Yin Heng."
"Hmph, you think I'm angry because of that? I'm angry that you're brainless. I told you to pass on a message so that you would watch her get dressed before coming over with her. But you just passed on a message and ran back, giving her an opportunity."
Thinking about how she had worked so hard to keep it a secret for months, Chen Xin'e was filled with rage.
The girl's face bore a striking resemblance to her wretched mother, and she was even more aloof and beautiful than her mother.
Such a beauty is bound to become the prey of men who are eager to hunt her. Although Wei'er herself is also very outstanding, in terms of looks, she is still a step below that little bitch Xu Jin'en.
Yin Heng, a prominent young man from Shanghai, was used to seeing beautiful women, but when he saw Xu Jin'en, he was still captivated by her beauty.
Her worst fears came true.
It seems that it's time to find a way to completely eradicate the problem.
Aunt Yu knew that it was her carelessness that had led her to not relay the message exactly as the First Madam had intended.
However, it's too late to mend the fence now; all she can do is try to find a way to shirk responsibility as soon as possible.
I nervously racked my brains for a solution.
Suddenly remembering something, his eyes lit up.
"Madam, there is something I would like to tell you."
Chen Xin'e, preoccupied with figuring out how to deal with Xu Jin'en, glanced impatiently at Sister Yu.
"explain!"
Ignoring the scalding tea that had splashed all over her, Aunt Yu hurried over to Chen Xin'e's side.
"I always felt that this fourth young lady was putting on a show for us, pretending to be weak while actually being strong."
Chen Xin'e frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Today, I went to deliver medicine to her as you instructed, but I said a few unpleasant things. This girl didn't even respect you and slapped me across the face. The slap made me dizzy and my face is still swollen."
Chen Xin'e had just noticed that something was strange on Sister Yu's face.
But with Yin Heng present, she didn't ask any further questions.
Unexpectedly, it was Xu Jin'en who did it.
"Hmph, they dare to act so wildly on my head. I'd like to see who's really in charge in the Xu family."

February 2020
The seventh day after the New Year
Inside a VIP ward at the Second Provincial Hospital in Didu City.
Gu Jueye sat silently on the edge of the bed, his face showing exhaustion and his eyes bloodshot.
Beside him was a basin of hot water, and he was carefully wiping the face of the unconscious girl on the bed with a towel.
"Seventh Uncle, as you instructed, we have invited renowned neurosurgeons from all over the world these past few days. However, according to the collective research of several senior experts, Qianmo has fallen into a deep coma, and it is still unknown when she will wake up."
"Then keep searching. The world is vast; surely someone will know what disease she has."
Gu Jingyu sighed inwardly.
Qianmo is unconscious, and all her relatives and friends are very sad.
So everyone is trying to find a way to awaken her, and the spirit has even gone to Country Y to look for people.
But now, we've used everyone we could find and every method we could think of.
But Qianmo remained lying quietly in the hospital bed, showing no signs of waking up.
"It's strange, how could a perfectly healthy person, who hadn't suffered any external impact, suddenly fall into a coma for no reason?"
Gu Jueye gently wiped the girl's hands, gazing at her tenderly for a long time.
That day, he deciphered the numerical code of the three paintings on the study wall and then found the switch near the desk.
When they descended into the underground chamber, they saw Qianmo collapsed amidst a cluster of mirrors.
In the vast secret room, apart from her, there was no sign of Mr. Feng.
To this day, he has ordered people to search for this person all over the country, but the person is elusive and there is still no news of him.
Gu Jueye remained silent; he couldn't understand this matter either.
Qianmo fainted in front of the mirror. There were no injuries on her body, and no signs of a fight around her.
This suggests that she was likely alone in the secret room at the time.
Her abilities are beyond question; it is virtually impossible for others to ambush her.
Besides, with so many mirrors, if a second person were to appear, the mirrors would have shattered long before the fight started.
But if Qianmo was alone, why did she suddenly fall into a coma?
"Have the air quality test results for the sealed room come out yet?"
Gu Jingyu took a lab report out of his work folder.
"We're out. Although the sealed room was dark and damp, professional testing showed that no harmful substances that could cause fainting were found in the air. Therefore, Qianmo's unconsciousness was not related to the air."
It wasn't air; all speculation was silenced.
Gu Jueye felt as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing heavily on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
She has been in a coma for fifteen days, which meets the hospital's criteria for diagnosing a vegetative state.
But he couldn't believe she would just become a vegetable; fate would never let her life end like this.
He firmly believed that she would wake up, so these days felt like an eternity to him, every minute and every second was agonizing, but he had to stay calm.
Because at that moment, she needed his protection.
"Seventh Uncle, don't be discouraged. I think there must be other ways."
At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.
