Although Shen Yuzhou didn't know why his fourth brother had changed so much, as the eldest brother, he couldn't just watch his two younger brothers hurt their relationship, so he forcibly separated them to let them calm down.
After everyone had left, Shen Yuzhou closed the door and slowly pushed the wheelchair to Shen Yanxi. His tone was calm, yet carried an inexplicable air of authority.
"Tell me, what exactly happened that caused such a drastic change in your attitude towards Shu'er?"
Shen Yanxi looked up at the window, his expression dazed, as if his memory had returned to that snowy night. "Big brother, do you believe in reincarnation?"
"What did you say?" Shen Yuzhou frowned slightly, his usually quick mind momentarily blank, not quite understanding Shen Yanxi's meaning.
"In our past life, my brothers and I drove our own sister to her death over a counterfeit. Perhaps it was retribution, but in the end, we didn't all meet a good end." Shen Yanxi laughed mockingly, and as he laughed, tears streamed down his face.
Seeing this, Shen Yuzhou frowned even more. He wanted to say that Shen Yanxi was talking nonsense, but a voice in his heart told him that it was all true.
Shen Yuzhou raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling inexplicably irritated. "Enough. There's no such thing as a past life or a present life. I think you're delirious."
Although Shu'er isn't our biological sister, she grew up with us since childhood. She has a kind and gentle nature. She was extremely worried about you being trapped in Qingfeng Village. You shouldn't doubt her because of a dream.
"You should rest well, I'm leaving now." Shen Yuzhou turned around, pushing his wheelchair; he didn't want to hear any more.
Watching Shen Yuzhou's departing figure, Shen Yanxi murmured absentmindedly, "Big brother, you will believe me."

Songxiyuan.
"Miss, big news. I heard that the Fourth Young Master and the Eldest Young Master had a falling out today, and the Third Young Master almost got into a fight with him over it." Lu Bai walked into the room with small, quick steps, her face beaming with undisguised joy.
The maids in the manor always said that the Fourth Young Master doted on his sister, so how come they've fallen out? It's really quite interesting.
After a period of careful recuperation, Lu Bai's injuries have greatly improved, and she is even in the mood to inquire and chat. Song Zhiyu does not restrain her.
Before Song Zhiyu could speak, Lu Bai's small mouth started again, unable to hold back her thoughts.
"By the way, I also heard that the Fourth Young Master seems to be quite seriously injured. His hands are probably ruined, and even the Divine Physician Liangyue can't cure them."
After saying that, Song Zhiyu stopped what she was doing and put the medical book away.
She had almost forgotten about this so-called "Divine Doctor Liangyue".
As for the other information Lu Bai mentioned, Song Zhiyu was not interested. He never expected that the two brothers, who were always of one mind, would actually fight each other.
"Let's not talk about them anymore. I'm going to the Grand Tutor's residence to deliver the medicine." Song Zhiyu wrapped up the last dose of medicine, put it in the medicine box, gave Lu Bai a few instructions, and then left.
Her treatment of Chu Sangyue was quite effective, and she was ready for the second course of treatment. Song Zhiyu planned to go and check on her condition herself.
Just as she stepped out of the gate of Songxi Courtyard, a figure in dark green suddenly darted out from the corner, blocking Song Zhiyu's path and looking at her hopefully. "Zhiyu, I have something to tell you."
"I don't think there's anything to talk about between us." Song Zhiyu didn't look at Shen Yanxi at all.
Shen Yanxi looked at Song Zhiyu with an unprecedented tenderness. This patience had only ever appeared in Shen Jinshu. "In my past life, you rescued me from Qingfeng Village, but I caused you to lose both hands. It's understandable that you hate me."
Now my hands are useless too; it must be God's punishment for me, but also my compensation to you.
After returning from Qingfeng Village, he realized that Song Zhiyu had also been reborn, which was why everything was different from her previous life.
Song Zhiyu closed her eyes and suddenly wanted to laugh. "Shen Yanxi, you deserved to have your hands crippled. Don't blame everything on me. I don't need your compensation. Just stay away from me. It's better for both of us."
She wanted to leave as soon as she reached over Shen Yanxi's shoulder, not even bothering to say another word.
"sorry."
Shen Yanxi's slightly hoarse voice sounded from behind him, "I know this apology is too late."
Song Zhiyu kept walking. She wasn't sure if Shen Yanxi's apology was sincere or not, but belated affection was worthless, and so was belated repentance.
With red eyes, Shen Yanxi watched Song Zhiyu's retreating figure and lowered his head in despair.
He knew that an apology could not undo the hurt, but being treated with such indifference was incredibly painful.
Shen Yanxi turned around stiffly. He was too ashamed to stay in Songxi Courtyard any longer. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Shen Muxun and Liang Yue, who had come to find him.
"Fourth brother, why did you run out? Your injuries haven't healed yet."
Shen Muxun was extremely worried; everyone he met was just causing him trouble.
"I'm fine, Second Brother, let's go back." Shen Yanxi shook his head, his voice tinged with a barely perceptible sob.
Shen Muxun, however, thought that his fourth brother was sad about his hand injury, so he couldn't help but say a word of comfort, "Don't think too much about it, your hand may still be saved."
Shen Yanxi didn't turn around, but walked ahead on his own, his steps unsteady, as if he might fall at any moment, which made people's hearts tremble with fear.
Before long, the person was finally sent back to the courtyard. Only then did Shen Muxun feel relieved and called to Liang Yue, who was about to leave.
"Miss Liangyue, is there really no way to save Yanxi's hands?"
Liang Yue looked troubled. "He's too badly injured. I really can't do anything about it."
"I remember that Physician Liangyue once cured a patient with crippled hands. I wonder if the same method could be used to treat Yanxi?" Shen Muxun observed Liangyue's expression without revealing his feelings.
Liang Yue forced a smile, her tone strained, "Well... their situations are different, so I'm afraid we can't use the same method."
Shen Mu Xun nodded, showing no sign of disappointment. "I understand."
After saying that, he took out a gold-embossed invitation from his sleeve and said with a smile, "This is an invitation from Huishengtang, sincerely inviting famous doctors from all over the world to come and exchange ideas."
"Miss Liangyue is renowned, and my master specifically instructed me to make sure the invitation reaches her. We hope she will grace us with her presence and allow everyone to witness her abilities."
Liang Yue nervously gripped the sides of her dress, unsure whether to accept the invitation or not.
The clinic is full of highly skilled doctors; her little tricks simply can't work under the noses of ordinary people.
Besides, if the real Liangyue Divine Physician heard the news from the capital, she would be exposed.
