After being exposed to the cold all night, she unsurprisingly caught a chill, and her illness progressed rapidly.
Qinglan realized something was wrong when she saw her faint. She hurriedly called for people to carry her into the house, which had already been tidied up, showing no trace of the terrifying events of the previous night.
She anxiously urged Granny Tang to fetch a doctor, but Granny Tang pursed her lips, resentful: "Where are we going to find a doctor in this heavy rain? Besides, didn't she make a mess of things herself? The young master didn't say anything even though he got a hole in his head, and he just toughed out a little cold!"
She refused Qinglan's request and also did not send anyone to inform Chi Jingyu.
What happened last night, young master certainly doesn't want to see her.
Qinglan had no choice. Since Granny Tang didn't give any permission, she couldn't leave the courtyard at will. So she fetched cold water to cool down Shen Tangning.
To my surprise, after two days of delay, the condition worsened!
...
Chi Jingyu's injuries were not suitable for public display, so he simply took a few days off to stay at home and recuperate. This was partly to avoid Shen Ci's entanglement, and partly to allow Shen Tangning to calm down and accept reality.
On the third day, he finally couldn't resist and went to the villa.
Shen Ci's eyes turned cold as he gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, "That bastard finally went out!"
Yuan Zhaochao instructed him, "I'll go with him, young master, you should go back first."
Shen Ci had sent people to follow Chi Jingyu before, but the other party was too cautious and had experts by his side. Several times, the people he sent to follow him were shaken off.
As usual, Chi Jingyu deliberately took a long detour before heading to the villa.
Yuan Zhao followed closely, frowning slightly. So well hidden, no wonder they couldn't find it…
Chi Jingyu entered the room, but he did not approach rashly. Instead, he hid in a tree and observed secretly.
There were quite a few guards, so it wasn't difficult for him to go in and out by himself, but it was more difficult to bring Shen Tangning with him.
He decided not to act rashly for the time being, and to wait until he returned and discussed it with Shen Ci before making a decision.
Chi Jingyu's sudden visit startled Granny Tang: "Why has the young master come today?"
His face remained silent as he walked inside: "How has she been these past two days?"
A hint of guilt flashed in Tang Mama's eyes, and she stammered, unable to answer. Suddenly, Qinglan rushed out, gesturing urgently to him with tears in her eyes.
Chi Jingyu's face turned cold, and he quickly entered the room, where he saw Shen Tangning lying on the couch with a sickly look on her face.
She closed her eyes weakly, her face seemed even paler, her chin became even more pointed, her cheeks were tinged with an unnatural blush, and her breath was hot.
"Is this how you take care of people?" He was furious, his anger burning inside with nowhere to vent.
Shen Tangning's appearance inexplicably reminded him of her dying moments in his past life. At that time, he did not know that she had been poisoned. The doctor said that she was depressed and her illness was caused by her heart. He only thought it was because of the Xie family and Shen Ci.
Right now, however, she has ruined herself into this state because of Chi Yan.
Overwhelmed by an indescribable jealousy, Chi Jingyu kicked Granny Tang with a sullen face: "Why didn't you call a doctor when the person is so ill?"
Granny Tang looked terrified and wept bitterly, claiming that she did not know it was so serious.
Chi Jingyu gave her a cold look and sent someone to fetch a doctor, seemingly planning to settle accounts later.
Tang Mama could only kneel to the side, thinking that as long as she admitted her mistake sincerely, the young master would not do anything to her.
Just then, she saw Shen Tangning on the bed open his eyes slightly, glancing at her with a cold and weary look, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
