...
Besides the Song family, who received the information quickly, there was also the Shen family.
A handsome young man, seeing the commotion coming from the Prime Minister's residence, remembered his young general's instructions and had a sudden idea. He mingled among them and inquired about the servants who were delivering medicine.
I heard the news: the young mistress of the manor is not well, and may not make it through the day.
The young man's face turned pale. Others might not know about the young mistress of the Prime Minister's mansion, but he certainly did. She was someone the general had specifically instructed him to take charge of.
Is something wrong with Miss Song? Should he go and report this to the general?
The young man hesitated for a long time, and before he knew it, he had walked back to the general's mansion.
Finally, looking at the familiar plaque of the General's Mansion, his expression became firm, and he walked towards the young general's courtyard without hesitation.
Both families ran towards the Liu family's house without prior arrangement.

While Qingyin remained unconscious, Liu Zhi stayed in the East Courtyard and inexplicably drifted into a daze.
Normally at this time, he would be practicing calligraphy, but today, he had already ground the ink three times, yet he hadn't written a single character.
Looking at the bright dot of ink on the white paper, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel troubled.
Song Qingqing.
With these thoughts lingering in his mind, Liu Zhi's mind was filled with images of the lively and radiant Song Qingqing of the past and the Song Qingqing lying on the bed, barely clinging to life. These two images alternated repeatedly in his mind.
When he came to his senses, Liu Zhi looked down and realized that he had also written Song Qingqing's name on the paper.
I've been thinking a lot.
...
In the end, Liu Zhi crumpled up the calligraphy he had just finished writing and put it aside.
Just then, a servant announced from outside, and Liu Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Has Song Qingqing woken up?"
The servant shook his head and said, "Master, it's Master Song and Madam Song who have arrived."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Liu Zhi's eyes.
He remained silent for a moment.
The servants dared not urge their master when he did not answer; they remained respectfully in their places.
Before long, Liu Zhi's expression turned serious again.
He said, "Quickly invite Lord Song and Madam Song in."
"yes."
The servant hurriedly left, thus missing the complex expression on Liu Zhi's face.
No matter how much trouble the Song family causes him, he can't retaliate, after all, he personally raised their daughter into the person she is now...
— — — — — — — — — — — —
As Liu Zhi watched the Song family members walk in, he respectfully greeted them in turn: "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, and my brother-in-law."
"Heh, Lord Liu, please don't call me brother-in-law. I, Song Fengqing, am not worthy of that title," Song Fengqing said sarcastically to his brother-in-law.
Song Yuebai and Song Fengqing are twin boys born after Song's mother's eldest daughter. The second son is Song Yuebai, and the third son is Song Fengqing. One is mature and steady, and the other is lively. Both of them are close in age to their older sister Song Qingqing, so they naturally grew up together and have a very good relationship.
Seeing his brother-in-law now, who had married his sister not long ago, and whose sister was now terminally ill, Song Fengqing couldn't contain his temper and naturally started to mock him.
Liu Zhi's expression remained unchanged, but the old lady Liu, who was standing behind him and had come to welcome the Song family, couldn't help but speak up.
She never liked Song Qingqing, finding her temperament too spoiled and unruly. Now, because of her, her favorite "little grandson" had been stabbed, so she naturally couldn't help but speak up for him.
"How dare you speak like that, Song family member? We, Xiaozhi, have never mistreated Song Qingqing. If Song Qingqing is not good, it's because she was born with a bad fate..."
“Grandmother!” Liu Zhi interrupted her.
He glanced at Old Madam Liu.
Old Madam Liu opened her mouth, but was stung by the sharp gaze of her most beloved "little grandson," and stopped talking.
But just because Madam Liu heard it doesn't mean the Song family couldn't guess what she hadn't finished saying.
Having just learned that his sister was seriously ill and in a coma, Song Fengqing, who was already sensitive, was stung by Old Madam Song's words, and his eyes immediately turned red, with a shocking rage rising in them.
"The Liu family, you'd better be glad my sister is alright, otherwise, our Song family will definitely fight you to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhi's lips turned pale.
He wanted to say something, but seeing Song Fengqing's expression, he held back.
The atmosphere suddenly froze for a few seconds.
None of the Song family members reprimanded Song Fengqing for saying anything wrong.
After all, since Qingqing got into trouble, they really wanted to make the Liu family pay!
Finally, Song Anhuai looked at the young man opposite him and said, "Take us to see Qingqing first."
"Yes, Lord Yue and Lord Song." Liu Zhi suppressed the heat of shame on his face and changed his words.

When the Song family saw the pale and emaciated person lying on the bed, all of them had tears in their eyes.
Qingqing/Sister, how much suffering has she endured to become like this?
When the reason for Qingyin's illness was mentioned, Liu Zhi's face turned pale, but he still resolutely told the Song family the truth.
However, he still received several solid punches from the Song brothers, Song Fengqing and Song Zhi, all of which landed on his chest, causing Liu Zhi to bend over and vomit instantly.
But that's not all; the Song family is making a fuss about taking Song Qingqing and Liu Niannian back with them.
Despite Liu Zhi's repeated explanations, he still prevented the Song family from taking Song Qingqing and her daughter back, citing the reason that it was not advisable to move the patient's body.
The Song family refused to take them in, but Song's mother stayed to take care of her daughter and granddaughter.
Meanwhile, at the Shen family...
The young general, Shen Du, whose appearance was as aloof and unapproachable as a flower on a high mountain, had lost all his ethereal, otherworldly demeanor. His delicate features were now filled with anger. He gripped his horse and shouted at the guards in the manor:
"Everyone, come with me to surround the Liu family and seize our Shen family's young mistress."
"Since the Liu family doesn't treat her well, I'll take her back."
