Around this time every year, her grandmother would faint. Wei Shuwan was used to this, so she calmly made the arrangements:
"Quickly help Grandmother back to her room. Take the fumigation medicine the doctor prescribed last time and let her fumigate it. If she wakes up, that's fine. But if she still doesn't wake up after an hour, go to the Sheng residence immediately and ask a doctor to come and take a look."
After arranging things for his grandmother, he turned back to Cai Die and said to the head nanny, "Take her to Zhaoshui Hall first, and send her to the government office at dawn. I will go with her to report the case."
"No!" Wei Ping shouted, suddenly spreading her arms to block Cai Die, preventing the two old women from getting close to her daughter.
Knowing that this argument was untenable, he quickly brought up his unconscious mother: "At least, at least let's wait until the old lady wakes up and makes a decision!"
“Grandmother just fainted from anger over this matter. Does Aunt really want her to wake up and suffer another blow?” Wei Shuwan said calmly, then suddenly sighed, “If Aunt doesn’t agree to send my sister to the authorities, that’s fine. Then I’ll go to the yamen at dawn myself, beat the grievance drum, and ask the yamen runners to come and take her away.”
It has to be said that this threat was extremely effective. Wei Ping was stunned after hearing it, not knowing what to do.
Those who commit crimes and go to the government office on their own have at least the advantage of being proactive and conscientious, and may be able to get a good outcome by paying a ransom. However, if the yamen runners come to their door to take them away, they lose all of these advantages, and the whole neighborhood will come to laugh at them. Even if they are eventually released, they will have lost all face.
Hesitatingly, Wei Ping's outstretched arms gradually lowered, and Cai Die, who was being protected behind her, panicked even more, grabbing her shoulders tightly: "Mother, Mother, please save Die'er! Die'er doesn't want to go to jail!"
Wei Ping looked back at Cai Die with a struggle on her face, but finally took a step back.
Two old women stepped forward and took Cai Die away. At first, they were quite polite and didn't touch her, but after making a "please" gesture, Cai Die didn't cooperate for a long time. In the end, they had no choice but to work together to temporarily take her to Zhao Shui Tang.
Gu Zhuang had been helpful this time, and Wei Shu thanked him before evening, inviting him to the front courtyard for tea and a rest. After all, he would need Gu Zhuang as a witness when he went to the government office at dawn.
At this moment, the moon was still and quiet, the night was almost over, and there were still a few hours before dawn, so Wei Shuwan returned to Fuqu Pavilion first.
I had originally planned to take a nap before dawn, but my mind was unsettled and I couldn't fall asleep while sitting on the tatami.
She joked to herself, "It seems that sleeping for the past few days has had some effect. I feel very energetic after waking up and don't feel tired at all."
“Miss, you weren’t resting those days, you were clearly sick. Even though you’re better now, you still need to be careful. Why don’t you get some sleep?” Zi Qiao coaxed her as she tucked her in.
Wei Shuwan obediently lay down in the quilt, but still refused to sleep, propping her head up on her side. "Ziqiao, this time I owe the young prince such a big favor again. What do you think I should give him?"
Zi Qiao pursed her lips and rolled her eyes: "Even if you don't give him anything, the young prince will still be happy to do it."
"Why?" Wei Shuwan sensed the hidden meaning in his words and asked with wide eyes.
Zi Qiao blushed slightly, but refused to elaborate, only laughing it off and saying, "Miss, go to sleep quickly, or it will really be dawn."
Seeing that Zi Qiao was trying to slip away, Wei Shuwan feigned anger and said, "It seems that while I was unconscious, you were no longer as loyal as before. Since you are hiding something from me, fine, when my uncle returns to Shengjing in a few days, I will tell him not to bring your brother back anymore, but to send him back to the border directly."
Having said that, Wei Shuwan arrogantly turned over and faced the inside.
Zi Qiao was intimidated by her words and abandoned her plan to slip away. She honestly said, "Miss, it's not that I'm hiding something from you, it's just that I'm afraid... afraid that if I tell you, you will..."
"What will happen?" Wei Shuwan finally couldn't contain her impatience and turned back to urge him.
Zi Qiao sighed helplessly, "I'll be too ashamed to face the young prince again."
The implication of those words was quite strange, and Wei Shuwan couldn't help but frown, feeling increasingly alarmed by the seriousness of the situation. She simply sat up from the couch again, crossed her legs, and stared intently at Zi Qiao: "Why?"
Zi Qiao knew that she could no longer hide the truth, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth: "When you were unconscious, I couldn't get you to take the medicine. The doctor said that if you didn't eat or drink, you wouldn't survive until the antidote was developed. So I tried all sorts of methods to force the medicine down your throat, but I failed. It was only when the young prince came that I was finally able to get the medicine down your throat."
"Didn't you say you used internal energy?" Wei Shuwan asked, full of doubt. As she said this, she suddenly realized how naive she had been.
If it were just a matter of using internal force to force her to drink the medicine, how could Zi Qiao have said something like "I have no face to see him"?
"Could it be that he needs to undress when he uses his internal energy to administer the medicine to me?" This was the first possibility that Wei Shuwan thought of.
However, Zi Qiao firmly shook her head: "No, no!"
Even the act of undressing seemed easier to accept than kissing. With this in mind, Zi Qiao stopped hesitating and said directly, "The young prince is just feeding you medicine mouth-to-mouth."
As soon as she finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the room. After a moment, Wei Shuwan's face turned as red as a ripe berry, and she asked weakly, "You...you just stood there watching, not even trying to stop him?"
"I wasn't there the first time!" Zi Qiao hurriedly explained, but then her confidence waned, and her voice gradually lowered: "The second time... the second time I was in the room, but I was keeping watch outside the window for the young prince, so I didn't see anything..."
"You're still keeping watch for him?"
