After Chu Zeming, Feng Yizheng and Sun Shao decided to return to the capital for the New Year, they began to gradually hand over and arrange the things on hand. It would take at least two months to go back and forth to the capital.

Fortunately, in the winter, people in Liuzhou Prefecture cannot work due to the cold weather, and the people basically choose to rest during the winter. Therefore, the government office has relatively fewer things to deal with, and Master Ou has already taken charge of the routine affairs, so all we need to do in the next two months is to follow the routine procedures.

Situ Yidun has received instructions from his father to stay in Liuzhou Prefecture for the New Year. Feng Yijiajia, who has just arrived in Liuzhou Prefecture, also wrote a letter to seek the opinions of the old head of the Feng family and the third master and his wife, and decided to stay. Feng Yishuang, who also wanted to stay, was ordered by the second wife of Feng to go home. She had no choice but to change her plan and return to the capital with Feng Yizheng.

Everyone’s plans for this year’s New Year have been finalized, and everyone is making their own preparations.

The school and medical school in Luojia Village did not stop functioning due to the coming of winter. Instead, Old Man Luo had more free time due to the coming of winter, so he went to Liu's house more frequently and sometimes even stayed overnight at the house.

It was a rare good winter day, with the sun shining brightly and warming my body. Old Luo, Doctor Wang, Doctor Dou, and Doctor Gudu were discussing the layout of the medical school. This was already the third draft they were discussing. Meixiang sat aside, holding her chin with both hands and smiling as she listened to their heated arguments.

Suddenly she felt her head getting heavier and her eyelids getting heavier. Before she could say anything, she fell asleep.

Situ Yidong, who was sitting on her left and lazily reading a book, seemed to suddenly sense something. The moment he looked up, he saw Meixiang falling headfirst onto the table. He quickly threw the book in his hand away, and his body moved directly towards Meixiang as if by reflex, catching her with his right hand just before her face touched the table.

The sound of the book falling to the ground startled the others. Old Luo's exclamation was caught in his throat by Situ Yidong's sharp eyes, and his face instantly turned red. Xiao San, who was helping Aunt Li not far away, was stunned for a few breaths, and when she reacted, she hurriedly dropped the work in her hands and ran over. Situ Yidong didn't care about avoiding suspicion at this time. He first lowered his head to feel Meixiang's steady breathing, then bent down, picked up Meixiang, and strode towards her room.

Xiao San and Doctor Wang followed closely behind. The beautiful lady, Nanny Chen, and the three doctors, Dou and Gudu, who received the news, did not enter the house, but waited quietly outside the door.

Soon, Doctor Wang pushed the door open and walked out. He nodded to the beautiful woman first, then thought for a moment and said to his two friends, Dou and Gu Du, "You also go in and take her pulse to see if there is anything abnormal."

When the two came out, their faces were full of surprise and curiosity. Doctor Wang saw their expressions and knew what was going on. "Is it obvious that the pulse is normal?" Doctor Dou and Doctor Gu Du exchanged glances and replied, "Yes, the pulse is calm and normal, just like sleeping. Old Wang, what's going on?"

"Well, I'll explain this to you later." Doctor Wang then turned his head to the beautiful woman who was trying hard to suppress her anxiety: "Madam, you can rest assured now. Everything is as Xiang'er expected."

"Thank you for your help, but I would still like to trouble you gentlemen to take some time to come and take my pulse, otherwise I will feel uneasy." The beautiful woman said after she let out a sigh of relief.

The three doctors nodded at the same time. Seeing the curious expressions on the faces of the two friends, Doctor Wang nodded at them and turned back to the table where he was sitting. There, Old Man Luo was waiting with a bewildered look on his face.

The beautiful woman pushed the door open and walked into the room. The first thing she saw was Situ Yidong standing motionless not far from Meixiang's bed, and Xiaosan tucking in the corner of Meixiang's quilt. Meixiang on the bed didn't look like she was sleeping peacefully, with sweat coming out of her forehead from time to time.

"Mr. Situ, do you want to go out first?" the beautiful woman asked with a slight frown. Although it was a matter of discretion, it would not sound good to let others know that a young man stayed in her daughter's boudoir for too long.

Situ Yidun gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, and said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, it's not that my nephew doesn't want to go out, but it's me. I can't move." The beautiful woman and Nanny Chen looked at him in surprise with their mouths wide open. His full forehead was covered with sweat and his brows were tightly furrowed. If you look closely, you will find that he is stiff and his calves are trembling slightly.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman couldn't help but be moved. How nervous and worried must the body be to have such a stress reaction? She couldn't help but sighed: "Li Niang, please help Master Situ and send him out."

Nanny Chen nodded and walked to Situ Yidong, reaching out to hold his arm: "Master Situ, let me help you."

"Thank you, Madam." She glanced at Meixiang who was sleeping on the bed again, "Madam, I'm just outside the door. Please call me anytime if you need anything."

After saying that, with the help of Nanny Chen, he moved his legs a little, and waited until the numbness and soreness subsided before slowly moving towards the door.

Meixiang felt like she was walking through a dark tunnel that was so long that she could not see the end. She walked alone for a long time, and suddenly a bright light flashed, and she saw a woman lying on a hospital bed.

In just six months, the woman had turned from a young woman into a middle-aged woman, with silver light shining faintly in her black hair. Meixiang had seen this woman many times in her dreams before. When she was young, she was too young to remember much. She really knew this woman when she was about four or five years old. Then Meixiang accompanied her to elementary school, junior high school, high school, medical school, and then she interned at the largest local hospital, got married, and had children.

The last so-called tribulation was probably because her mother died in an accident. She was so sad that her body couldn't bear it and she had a high fever. Meixiang also stayed with her for three days and four nights before she woke up.

But what is the reason this time?

At this time, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in hurriedly. Meixiang looked at him carefully, his hair was a little messy and slightly wet due to his anxiety, and his frowning brows revealed fine lines at the corners of his eyes, but it did not damage his gentle temperament at all. This was a charming middle-aged man.

"Xiang'er," the man looked at the motionless woman lying on the bed. His legs softened and he knelt down in front of her bed. He tightly grasped her hand outside the quilt and put it to his mouth. He choked up a little when he spoke again: "Xiang'er, things are not what you think. We have been married for more than 20 years, don't you still trust me? When did we lose even this little trust between us?"
