When Cheng Kai heard from the nanny that Xu Gao had fainted, he didn't have time to put Xu Bai down. He carried Xu Bai into the room. When Xu Gao heard that Cheng Kai had returned, she was about to get up from the bed to greet him at the door, but her nanny pressed her back onto the bed and told her not to go out. She said that her daughter was too meticulous and demanded the best of herself in everything. She was too strong-willed.
When Cheng Kai carried Xu Bai in, he saw Xu Gao lying on the bed, looking very weak and pale.
Xu Bai kicked Cheng Kai, who put him down. Xu Bai wiggled his short legs and ran to Xu Gao's bedside, asking with a worried look, "Big sister, what's wrong? Granny Shen didn't say you fainted when she went home. Big sister, are you worried because you can't go home? Don't worry, I'll take you home right away."
Cheng Kai ignored Xu Bai's words and asked the servants, "What's wrong with your eldest mistress?"
Xu Gao's personal maid replied, "The doctor said our young lady is prone to overthinking and melancholy, with worries weighing heavily on her mind."
Xu Bai said, "Look, look, this is why they won't let my eldest sister go back to her parents' home. Brother-in-law, hurry up and send my eldest sister home. Once she's home, she'll feel better and her illness will naturally get better."
Xu Gao looked at Xu Bai, who still looked like he did when he was a child, but had grown up a lot. Tears welled up in his eyes. He took Xu Bai's hand and said, "This must be Seventh Brother. Seventh Brother has grown so much."
Xu Bai said, "Elder sister, my sister and I came back with Granny Shen. After we got home, my aunt sent you a letter, but we didn't hear from her for several days. At lunchtime, my grandmother couldn't wait any longer and insisted that Granny Shen come and see you. I was hoping that Granny Shen would come and take you home, but Granny Shen went back by herself. I asked Granny Shen why she didn't come home with us, but she wouldn't say. I knew it was your in-laws who were preventing you from returning home. When we were in Hexi, there were many families like that. When their daughters-in-law wanted to go back to their parents' home, they would stop them in this way and that way, afraid that if their daughters-in-law went back to their parents' home, they would have to spend money to buy gifts and that there would be no one to do the chores at home."
