Cheng Hongsui couldn't help but think about it. After all, she knew her situation. There were not many girls like her who were still unmarried at the age of twenty.
Besides, if Xiao Jingyun had not been engaged to her early on and was not dragged down by her, what kind of girl could he not marry?
The children were so scared that they ran all over the floor.
Even though she felt depressed, Cheng Hongsui remained polite and led Xiao Cunyu to the inner room.
Soon, Xiao Cunyu saw Cheng Rui. Cheng Rui was very ill. His face was red, as if there was a fire trapped in his body that could not be released. He lay on the bed in a daze, looking limp and listless, and very pitiful.
There were maids and doctors attending her, and the doctors all had sad faces.
Xiao Cunyu saw that Cheng Rui's complexion was very bad. It was summer and autumn now. Considering Cheng Rui's age and body shape, red and white complexions were normal. However, he was invaded by evil spirits. There was a hidden black energy entering the Palace of Illness, which meant that he would die.
"Has anything special happened at home recently?" Xiao Cunyu asked Cheng Hongsui.
Cheng Hongsui looked at him suspiciously, somewhat puzzled: "Seventh Young Master, what do you mean by that? Apart from my brother being sick, there's nothing else going on at home lately..."
Xiao Cunyu changed the subject: "Has your family moved the ancestral grave recently?"
"..." Cheng Hongsui was a little surprised. She secretly glanced at her grandfather and saw that his expression had become more serious. She wanted to cover Xiao Cunyu's mouth.
This kid is too straightforward. Who would ask about someone's ancestral grave when visiting them for the first time?
If he wasn't a member of the Xiao family, my grandfather would definitely kick him out!
"No..." Cheng Hongsui said with difficulty.
I hope my grandfather will control his anger for Xiao Jingyun's sake.
Xiao Cunyu nodded and thought carefully for a while. "Sister Cheng, Cheng Rui's condition is a bit bad. I think in addition to his weak body, it is mainly due to the influence of Feng Shui. Do you have an ancestral hall in your family? Can you take me to see the ancestral tablets?"
“!!!” Cheng Hongsui opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Ancestral Hall...
Because the clan's home is not in the capital, in order to worship their ancestors, the family naturally built a temple. But how can they let outsiders enter such a place?
What's more, this is Xiao Cunyu's first time here, so he's not familiar with the place...
"You young man..." Old Master Cheng's patience reached its limit, "Is this how your elder brother taught you? From the moment you entered the family until now..."
"Grandpa, do you want your grandson to recover from his illness?" Xiao Cunyu interrupted him directly.
Old Master Cheng was so angry that his beard was flying.
Not only is he arrogant, he also disrespects his elders.
Interrupting the elders, is this something a son of the Xiao family could do?!
"Are you really the Seventh Son of the Xiao Family?" Cheng Hongsui couldn't help but ask. After asking, she quickly restrained herself and said a little embarrassedly, "It really doesn't look like it..."
Mr. Cheng also felt that it was not the case.
He had also met three or four of the young masters of the Cheng family. Each of them was talented and very good.
Only this...
It's infuriating.
"It's absolutely true." Xiao Cunyu said proudly, "Don't think I'm annoying, old man. It's useless to be annoying. You can't really chase me out with a stick, right? Since you can't chase me out, why not cooperate with me and answer the questions properly? Who knows, I might even be able to save your precious grandson?"
"You little bastard!" Old Master Cheng wanted to beat someone up.
If Xiao Cunyu were his child, he would definitely have to kneel in the ancestral hall every day!
"You can curse as much as you want, but Cheng Rui's condition is very serious. We must find the root cause. Otherwise... I'm not cursing him, but based on his physique, he can only hold on for seven or eight days at most. If we save him now and wait for the fever to subside, he might not be seriously injured. But if you ask me at the last minute, even if we save him, he will definitely become a fool."
