"Thank God." Chen Huaixiu patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Secretary Ma was so embarrassed that she let go of Zhao Hao. She took off her glasses and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief while sobbing, "You have to take good care of him. Don't be careless."

"I'm in the hospital now, aren't I?" Zhao Hao smiled and comforted Sister Ma, who had calmed down a little. He cursed in his heart, "Can't Li Shizhen use a different name for the disease? Must he cause ambiguity?"

Could it be that he is taking revenge on me and forcing me to violate medical ethics?

Wang Tiedan reached out his hand, pressed it on Zhao Hao's forehead to measure his temperature and said, "It's still feverish. Take the medicine and go to bed early. Be careful not to catch a cold again."

Zhao Hao was stunned and asked, "Don't you need to take medicine?"

"Sir, if you are sick you have to take medicine." Chen Huaixiu smiled and coaxed, "Xiao Teng drinks so many medicines every day, how can you be worse than a child?"

"But I really don't need to take medicine?" Zhao Hao thought to himself, who is not a child? "If you don't believe me, go ask Dean Li."

"The medicine was prescribed by Dean Li." Wang Tiedan handed the boiled medicine to Zhao Hao and said with a straight face, "I told you to drink it."

"Young Master, it's already this late, just calm down." Ma Xianglan tried to persuade him: "Doctor Li probably said that because he was afraid that you would not want to be hospitalized. How can you not take medicine when you are sick?"

"Li Shizhen, I'm not done with you!" Master Zhao let out a desperate wail.

"Brother, don't abandon me!"

Jiang Xueying screamed, and Xiao Yun'er, who was sleeping in the outer cabin, was so scared that she quickly put on her clothes and came in to check.

Then he saw his young lady sitting in bed, hugging the quilt with a sad face and two faint tear marks on her face.

"Miss, are you having a nightmare again?" Xiao Yun'er was heartbroken and quickly lit a burner of agarwood for her and placed it beside her bed.

Agarwood has a calming effect. Jiang Xueying used to have nightmares and couldn't live without it. But her sleep has improved a lot in the past six months, so she gradually stopped using it.

Wisps of incense smoke rose up, filling the air with a soothing scent.

Jiang Xue took the soothing soup Xiao Yuner offered her, took a sip, and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "It seems I'm still far from ready."

"It's all that damn county lady's fault. She didn't stay in Beijing, but came to Nanjing to cause trouble!" Xiao Yuner said angrily, "I wish I could shoot her with a gun!"

"Keep your voice down, the person is right next door." Jiang Xueying rolled her eyes at her.

"Miss, are you afraid that she will hear it?" Xiao Yun'er quickly lowered her voice.

"I'm not afraid of her hearing it, I'm just afraid that she will think we are furious and it will boost her confidence." Jiang Xueying put down the teacup, tucked up her long hair and said:

"This is a contest to see who can last longer. Confidence is the source of strength."

"Uh..." Xiao Yun'er looked confused, and after a while she said awkwardly, "I don't understand."

"For example, when we first met that day, I deliberately ignored her identity and called her sister." Jiang Xueying had already suffered from insomnia, so she simply reviewed the situation with the little maid: "If you were her, the emperor's niece, a county lady, how would you react?"

"If I were the county lady." Xiao Yuner said with a smile, "Of course I would withdraw obediently."

"Tell the truth." Jiang Xueying rolled her eyes at her.

"I'm sure I'll explode." Xiao Yuner pointed at the round stool beside her and puffed her cheeks, saying, "How dare you disrespect this county lady? Get down on your knees and slap me in the face!"

After saying that, she patted her chest and said in fear, "It was a close call. Fortunately, the county lady didn't do that, otherwise the young lady would be in trouble."

"I wish she would do that. How could my brother like such a domineering and arrogant woman? She is naturally no threat to me." Jiang Xueying sighed softly, "It's a pity that Li Mingyue actually held back. She didn't mean to bully others by taking advantage of her power. It's really terrible."

Xiao Yuner felt like an arrow had hit her knee, and she pouted and muttered, "Maybe she's just stupid."

"Otherwise, she would bring a girl who is prettier than her to look for Master Zhao together. Isn't this like driving a tiger to devour a wolf?" She also found an argument for herself.

"You are the wolf!" Jiang Xueying glared at the mute little maid again.

Because she compared herself to a wolf, but compared Miss Zhang to a tiger...

"It doesn't matter if she's the eldest princess' daughter or the university scholar's daughter." Miss Jiang took a deep breath and said with courage: "Even if the two of them are tied together, I won't lose!"

"Miss, are you so confident?" Li Mingyue and Zhang Xiaojing were so strong that even if Xiao Yun'er was a die-hard fan of her young ladies, she felt that the balance of victory would not tip towards them.

"I just have confidence." Jiang Xueying nodded heavily, but it seemed like she was cheering herself up:

"If it were anyone else, I would definitely lose, but my brother is different. He is a unique man that ordinary people cannot understand. In this world, I am the only one who understands his ideals, I am the only one who can keep up with him, and I am the only one who can be a good assistant in his great cause!"

Having said this, her face finally regained color and she looked much more confident.

"Brother has devoted all his passion to his career and will not indulge in love affairs between men and women. Moreover, he will move faster and further in the future. Those women will only find him more and more unfamiliar, unable to understand him, and may even become his enemy."

"Only I can accompany him forever and fight alongside him forever, until the last moment!" In Jiang Xueying's frosty eyes, a raging fire burned, as if it could burn through everything in this world.

"So the final winner must be me!"

"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Xiao Yuner nodded vigorously, feeling the young lady's belief in victory. Only then did she remember that she was the undefeated girl Jiang Xueying!

"Besides, I only have my brother..." Jiang Xueying's voice gradually became fainter and fainter, "But they have plenty of choices. How can they possibly survive more than me?"

~~

Next door cabin.

Li Mingyue also suffered from insomnia for the first time ever.

This really troubled Zhang Xiaojing. Poor little Zhuzi hadn't slept last night, and today she had to listen to her chattering and couldn't fall asleep.

"I'm so angry, so angry!" Li Mingyue punched the doll pillow again and again, angrily saying: "Why does she go wherever I go? Isn't she waiting for an important contract in Jinling?!"

"Heh..." Zhang Xiaojing yawned and said, "Importance is relative. Maybe she thinks that keeping an eye on you is more important right now."

"She has been occupying Brother Zhao for a year!" Li Mingyue used her two slender legs to clamp the puppet tightly and vented her anger, "What's wrong with giving me a few days!"

"How can anyone let others do this?" Zhang Xiaojing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "In their eyes, you are the uninvited guest, okay?"

"It was obviously me and Brother Zhao who started it first!" Li Mingyue said angrily, "Little Bamboo, you are here to help, not to watch the show! But you are the one who got into trouble!"
