"Grandson, you've finally woken up! Do you know how scared you were to death!" The old lady's voice, choked with sobs, came from the crowd.
Xia Yixin took the medicine from Xiaoman and was about to put it in when a system notification suddenly sounded in her mind.
"Ding! Rescue the female lead Zi Linglong and stop her from killing Crown Prince Rui. The location has been sent to the host's mind. Reward for completion: 200 points. Failure will be considered a failure of the mission in this plane and will result in immediate elimination! Countdown: one hour. Countdown now begins at 59 minutes and 59 seconds..."
Xiao Man looked at Xia Yixin strangely as she placed the tray in her hands. "Madam?"
"Xiaoman, I need to leave the manor for a bit. Could you take this medicine in for me and tell him to drink it while it's hot? We'll talk about the rest when I get back." Xia Yixin said, turning and leaving the room.
Xiao Man looked at Xia Yixin, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating. Just then, she heard Li Shi calling Xia Yixin's name from the old lady's side behind her.
Xiao Man quickly squeezed in with the tray, "Madam, this is the medicine that the young master's wife just brewed. She brewed it herself and said that the young master should drink it while it's hot."

The old lady and the others exchanged glances, knowing perfectly well what was going on, but none of them said it aloud.
One by one, Grand Tutor Chu left with Madam Li and the other concubines, leaving only the Old Madam in the room. When she saw Chu Mubai suddenly trying to get out of bed, she quickly pressed him down, "Mubai, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?!"
But Chu Mubai still insisted on getting out of bed, kneeling on the ground, and bowing to the old lady. His face was slightly pale, but his eyes were firm.
"Grandma, Mu Bai has a request, and I humbly request your permission..."
