"Where's Ah Shu? How is she now?"

As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Xie rushed into the room carrying a handbag.

Her well-maintained face looked haggard, and her eyes were filled with deep worry.

Mrs. Xie quickly scanned the room, her mouth suddenly opened slightly, and her body became motionless.

“Bang!”

The exquisite black handbag in Mrs. Xie's hand slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground.

She stood there like a sculpture, staring blankly at Xie Lanzhi who was sitting on the sofa.

“Zhizhi!!!”

Mrs. Xie was silent for a few seconds, then let out a hoarse scream.

Her son, who is not even thirty years old, has half his hair turned white and has more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes than she does in just a short while.

Xie Lanzhi stood up and walked towards Madam Xie, his voice gentle: "Mom, why are you here?"

Mrs. Xie looked at her son walking towards her, and tears fell down like beads from a broken string.

The corners of her lips trembled slightly, and she asked in a tearful voice: "Lanzhi, why did you become like this?"

Her son, who is in the prime of his life, looks older than her and Xie Zhengde.

Xie Lanzhi wiped away the tears on Mrs. Xie's face and said nonchalantly, "Everyone will grow old one day, I just got there a few years earlier."

Mrs. Xie's face was filled with heartache. She stroked her son's face with trembling hands, "No one has aged more than ten years in a short time. Did they bully you? Did the Qi and Tian people wrong you? Did they force you into this state?!"

She didn't dare to touch Xie Lanzhi's white hair. If she looked at it for even a second, she would feel so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

Yanhusuo came into the room carrying a medicine box and saw that Xie Lanzhi had half white hair and a gentle and elegant face that looked very old.

His eyes were full of inquiry, and he said calmly, "Mr. Xie is under tremendous emotional pressure, such as extreme sadness, anxiety, fear, etc., which has caused a physical stress response."

Mrs. Xie, immersed in sadness, thought of the reason for Yun Zhen.

Her expression changed slightly, she grabbed Xie Lanzhi's sleeve tightly, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Did something happen to Ah Shu? Where is she? Where is she?!"

Mrs. Xie looked shocked, as if she had found the reason why her son's hair turned white overnight and he looked ten years older.

Xie Lanzhi held her shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Mom, don't think too much. Ah Shu is fine and is sleeping in the room."

Mrs. Xie asked doubtfully, "Really?!"

"Really? I'll take you to see her." Xie Lanzhi led him into the bedroom.

Inside the house, Sister Hua was using a cotton swab to apply water to Qin Shu's chapped lips.

Sister Hua saw Madam Xie and called out in a low voice, "Madam—"

Mrs. Xie nodded perfunctorily, walked quickly to the bedside, and looked at Qin Shu, whose belly was bulging and whose face was pale.

"How come you've lost so much weight? Your little face is so pale that it's almost transparent. Both children have been wronged."

As she spoke, Mrs. Xie began to cry again.

She began to imagine the scene in her mind where Xie Lanzhi and Qin Shu were forced into a corner and could not move an inch in Yunzhen, with a strong murderous intent surging in her eyes.

Whoever made her son and daughter-in-law unhappy, she will make that whole family unhappy for the rest of their lives!

Sister Hua handed over a clean handkerchief and said self-reproachfully, "It's my fault for not taking good care of the young master and the young mistress."

Mrs. Xie bent down and touched Qin Shu's forehead, then gently stroked her face with pity.

"She's lost a lot of weight. She's not as plump as she was when she was pregnant with Yangyang and Chenchen."

“Bang!”

When Ah Hua heard this, she fell to her knees with a bang.

"Madam, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of and protect the young lady."

Mrs. Xie lowered her eyes and glanced at the frightened Ah Hua Sao. Her eyes, which were almost the same as Xie Lanzhi's, were filled with a terrifyingly deep and icy coldness.

"Ah Hua, please get up. My son and daughter-in-law were bullied. This has nothing to do with us."

Her voice was gentle and her words were neither fast nor slow, making people feel the strong murderous intent.

Uncle Quan personally helped Sister Hua up from the ground: "Old Yan wants to check the pulse of the young lady, let's not get in the way here."

Yanhusuo came forward with a medical kit on his back, "Thank you, Madam. I'll take the young lady's pulse."

Madam Xie took two steps back, lowered her eyes, and said in a calm voice: "You must watch carefully, my daughter-in-law is delicate and weak, please don't hurt her."

"clear."

Yanhusuo sat on the edge of the bed, holding Qin Shu's fair wrist.

He looked solemn, closed his eyes and felt the pulse beating under his fingertips.

Yan Husuo frowned suddenly and said in a puzzled tone: "That's not right. Madam's pulse is very stable. There is no sign of bleeding or unstable fetus."

Mrs. Xie burst into tears of joy: "Really?!"

Yanhusuo felt it carefully again and said confidently: "Young Madam's pulse is stable, and the baby in her belly is also very active. There is no problem at all."

Mrs. Xie covered her heart with her hand: "That's good, as long as Ah Shu and the child are fine!"

She was really afraid that something might happen to Qin Shu.

Even the baby in the belly has no chance of being born.

Xie Lanzhi was holding his breath, but after hearing what Yanhusuo said, he completely relaxed.

He leaned over and touched Qin Shu's hair, and asked in a gentle voice: "Mr. Yan, how long will it take for Ah Shu to give birth to the baby in her belly?"

Yanhusuo stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "The child has absorbed sufficient maternal nutrition and is developing well. Since it is twins, I am afraid that the birth will be premature. You should prepare as soon as possible. There are still about two months left."

Mrs. Xie wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I will stay with Ah Shu for the next two months and will go back after she gives birth!"

Xie Lanzhi smiled gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

After Qin Shu suffered this disaster, he didn't trust anyone to take care of his wife.

Mrs. Xie fixed her gaze on her son's face, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Zhizhi, tell mom what's wrong with your hair."

I still can't accept that Xie Lanzhi has aged so much in a short time.

Xie Lanzhi touched his face and said vaguely: "I was too anxious when I knew that Ah Shu was in trouble."

Mrs. Xie believed it, grabbed Xie Lanzhi's hand, and walked to Yanhusuo.

"Didn't you just say that Lanzhi's emotions fluctuate drastically, and that his body has a stress response? Can you show me if there is any way to recover?"

Yanhusuo, who had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, smiled and nodded.

"Xie Shao, give me your left hand."

Xie Lanzhi was very resistant and said calmly: "No, maybe it will be fine in a few days."

He didn't want anyone to know for the time being that he had paid the price of shortening his life in order to save Qin Shu and the baby in her belly.

Mrs. Xie was unhappy and said bluntly, "Just watch it if I tell you to. You don't want to go out with Ah Shu and be misunderstood as father and daughter, do you?"

She grabbed Xie Lanzhi's left wrist and pulled him in front of Yanhusuo.

Yanhusuo originally thought that this was just an ordinary pulse diagnosis.

It wasn't until he felt Xie Lanzhi's pulse that his eyelids twitched and his face became visibly horrified.

Yanhusuo suddenly raised his head and looked at Xie Lanzhi with horror, who had a calm expression.

"Master Xie, what did you do to damage your foundation and vitality?"
