Chapter 569
When Yunxi was this age, she was the most mischievous. It took Chen Zongwen and Madam Chen to take turns to coax her into submission. Unlike this child, who can sit still for so long.
Zhong Jie is very curious about the past that she was not a part of.
Madam Chen smiled and said, "Back then, we had just arrived in Qingshui Village when Zongwen's friend brought his son to see Zongwen. His son was about the same age as Xi'er. I don't know how the two children ended up fighting. This girl could barely walk properly, yet she beat the other boy so badly that he couldn't get up. Even now, that child is still afraid whenever he hears Xi'er's name!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Only Yunxi blushed: "I was just being immature back then!"
Madam Chen mercilessly exposed him: "You didn't know any better? When you were six, that person came over and you beat him up on the ground. You still didn't know any better? You don't know, the Fang family's child is afraid of you. His father said that as long as he misbehaves at home, mentioning your name is more effective than anything else!"
Yunxi had nothing to say.
Madam Chen sighed again, "At the time, I only thought Xi'er was being noisy, but now look... what a profound family tradition!"
So he has the blood of a military general; no wonder he's so reckless.
Zhong Jie laughed too: "Shu'er is the same. When he was little, everyone hated him. If he weren't my own son, I would have thrown him out!"
Thus, Huo Shu also experienced the embarrassment of having his dark past brought up again.
The brother and sister looked at each other and suddenly felt a strange sense of empathy.
Madam Chen and Zhong Jie excitedly recounted the unbearable past of the brother and sister. Each of them had their own embarrassing moments. Chen Qiang listened with the most enjoyment, munching on a large pile of melon seeds.
The lights in Shanshui Residence stayed on until late into the night, and everyone in the Prince's Mansion slept soundly that night.
——
The next day, Jizhou.
Jing Yuan stayed by the bedside and slept sitting up all night. He woke up as soon as it was light and subconsciously turned his head to look at the bed.
Shen Rang lay quietly on the bed, his breathing barely visible.
Jing Yuan sighed.
When they arrived, they saw that the house was badly burned down and looked like it could not possibly have survived. Shen Rang immediately coughed up blood and fainted. To this day, he cannot even get out of bed.
Soon it became lively outside, as Doctor Feng and his students arrived.
A short while later, Doctor Feng came in carrying the medicine.
Shen Rang refused to drink, and Doctor Feng was even more unwilling to let him die in his clinic, so he forced him to drink it all.
After drinking a bowl of medicine, Shen Rang's complexion improved somewhat.
Doctor Feng put the medicine bowl aside, sighed, and said, "Young man, what kind of hurdle have you encountered that you can't overcome? If you really can't get through it, think of your parents!"
Jingyuan quickly shook his head.
Thinking of my parents, they might die even faster.
Doctor Feng blinked, realizing he had misspoke, and quickly added, "Why don't you think about your wife and children? Judging by your age, you should already be married, right?"
Jingyuan closed his eyes in despair.
That's really bringing up the very thing I shouldn't have said...
Sure enough, Shen Rang's deathly aura intensified: "The child is being looked after; it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not."
“That’s different. It’s best for a child to grow up with their own parents,” Doctor Feng sighed. “Since you have a child, you should think about what’s best for them.”
"Let me tell you, I know a girl who was forced to leave her child right after becoming a mother. That year was incredibly difficult for her!"
Jing Yuan's eyebrows twitched.
Why does this sound so familiar?
"Doctor, what's the name of the person you know?"
"Hey, how could I let you know a woman's name so easily?" Doctor Feng looked at the two of them warily. "I'm telling you, children are born after their mothers have carried them for ten months. Every mother values her child more than her own life. If you have even the slightest affection for that child's mother, or even for your own mother, you can't continue to be so despondent!"
