Chapter 521 never mentioned it.
The doctor nodded upon hearing this: "The old lady is right. Logically speaking, a young lady of this age should not have such a serious emotional problem. I wonder if she suffered some kind of trauma in her previous family life, which has caused her to develop such a deep-seated emotional knot."
If it weren't for this reason, the doctor really couldn't figure out why Gu Shuyan would act this way.
"Doctor, Shu'er's heart is still troubled. Could there be a problem?" More than asking about the reason, Gu Renjie was most concerned about Gu Shuyan's health.
"Yes, doctor, is there any way to cure this emotional knot?" Gu Yingjie quickly chimed in.
Seeing the whole family looking at him, the doctor couldn't help but sigh. "They say that only a mental illness can be cured by a mental cure. I can only help the young lady with her physical condition. If she wants to be cured, I'm afraid we still need to resolve her inner conflict."
Since the doctor had already said all that, naturally no one would ask him any more questions. However, just as the butler was about to see Gu Shuyan off, the doctor couldn't help but remind her again.
"My lord, the young lady has a serious emotional problem. I'm afraid she needs to resolve it as soon as possible, or her life may be in danger."
After saying this, the doctor left the Marquis's residence, leaving a room full of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What could be causing Shu'er's distress? Why haven't we heard her mention it for so long!"
Upon hearing the doctor's last words, Madam Ji was so frightened that she immediately began to wipe away her tears. Seeing this, Ouyang Jing quickly stepped forward to support her and comforted her, saying, "Mother, don't worry. The doctor's words were naturally a bit serious. As long as we help our sister resolve this inner conflict, won't everything be alright?"
Ouyang Jing spoke eloquently, but her heart was pounding. If something could truly be spoken aloud, how could it become a knot in one's heart? Just like her, her mother's death was a knot in her and her brother's hearts.
Even though it involved her birth mother, it wasn't as serious as Gu Shuyan's situation. What kind of thing could make Gu Shuyan so resentful?
“Yan’er always reports good news and not bad news. Actually, I could tell she was troubled when she came back. But she seemed happy every day at home, so I didn’t think much of it. I never imagined it would come to this.”
The old lady pounded her chest in self-reproach, wondering if things would have turned out differently if she had asked earlier.
“Mother, how can this be your fault? It’s all my fault for not caring enough for Shu’er.”
Gu Jin felt that he was a terrible father, otherwise how could he not even take good care of his daughter?
"Madam, Master, Madam, Miss wants you to come in."
Pearl came out from the inner room, first curtsied to everyone, and then addressed them.
So, the group returned to the inner room once again. Seeing Gu Shuyan lying on the bed with a pale face, Ji Shi couldn't help but cry again.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"
Ji hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at the haggard Gu Shuyan, and felt extremely distressed.
"Hmm!" Gu Shuyan nodded, but she didn't look any better.
"Grandmother, Mother, don't worry, I'm fine."
Gu Shuyan was unaware of the doctors' conversation outside, and seeing everyone's solemn expression, she quickly comforted them.
The old lady and Madam Ji could naturally understand her feelings, but it was precisely because they knew this that they felt even more distressed.
Seeing that Madam Ji was about to burst into tears again, the old lady, to prevent herself from giving herself away in front of Gu Shuyan, quickly gave Ouyang Jing a look and said, "Let's not stand here any longer, let's all go back first! Jing'er, you'll have to do your job and take your mother back to the main courtyard."
Upon hearing the old lady's words, Madam Ji's first reaction was to object, as she wanted to stay and take care of Gu Shuyan. However, seeing Gu Jin also giving her a meaningful look, she obediently allowed Ouyang Jing to help her out.
"Yan'er, your grandmother and sister have gone back too. You must take your medicine on time, okay?"
Knowing that the situation was not conducive to further upsetting Gu Shuyan, the old lady gave her a few instructions and then took Gu Yuxin back to Yunxiang Courtyard.
When only Gu Jin and his two sons were in the room, Gu Shuyan looked at Gu Jin and said, "Father, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What's there to discuss? Look at the state you're in, and you still want to discuss things? You should get some rest."
Before Gu Jin could speak, Gu Renjie rushed to Gu Shuyan and covered her with the blanket without saying a word.
Seeing Gu Renjie like this, Gu Shuyan was both amused and exasperated. Her second brother still did things his way, not caring at all what others thought.
"Second brother, I really have something very important to say."
Gu Shuyan's tone was weak, even carrying a barely perceptible plea.
Seeing her like this, Gu Jin and Gu Renjie both frowned. In their impression, although Gu Shuyan looked weak, she had the pride that a member of the Gu family should have in her bones, so such an expression should never appear on her face.
So what exactly happened that not only touched on Shu'er's inner conflict but also caused her to react in this way?
"Yingjie, let Shuer finish speaking."
Gu Jin and Gu Renjie spoke at the same time. Gu Yingjie glanced at the two of them and finally had no choice but to compromise.
"Let's talk business, but you're not allowed to get agitated."
Gu Yingjie looked at Gu Shuyan with a warning expression. Heaven knows, seeing Gu Shuyan suddenly fall ill almost scared him to death. If anything unexpected happened because of the excitement, he would really be furious.
"Yes, don't worry!"
Gu Shuyan nodded, and Gu Renjie and Gu Yingjie then left, leaving Gu Jin alone.
"Father, your daughter wants to break off the engagement."
Gu Shuyan looked at Gu Jin and, taking him by surprise, revealed her thoughts.
Gu Jin was clearly surprised that Gu Shuyan would say such a thing after being ill, and a look of astonishment unconsciously appeared on his face: "What did you say? Break off the engagement? Why do you want to break off the engagement?"
Gu Jin was puzzled. It was already strange that Gu Shuyan had suddenly fallen ill today, and on top of that, she proposed to break off the engagement so close to the wedding date. This was really too strange.
Perhaps he could ask Yun Yichen about this; he might know something.
"There's no particular reason, your daughter just suddenly doesn't want to get married anymore. Please ask your father to go to the Tongyun residence and tell them!"
Gu Shuyan had already settled the matter in her words, and in order to prevent Gu Jin from asking any further questions, Gu Shuyan looked at Gu Jin with a hint of pleading.
Seeing his daughter like this was like a knife twisting in Gu Jin's heart, but for the sake of Gu Shuyan's health, he couldn't forcefully press her for answers.
"You should rest first, we can talk about this later."
Before clarifying the situation, Gu Jin would never so easily back out of this marriage; at least now is not a good time.
