Even her grandfather couldn't stop her father's official career. How could Yan Muqing, who was just a bird under her father's wings and hadn't had the chance to spread its wings, suppress her father's ambition?

In her previous life, she did not dare to confide in the prince, and was only focused on paving the way for her father. She believed in her father's words without a doubt, which led to her pushing the prince and the Su family into an irretrievable situation.

If the sharp blade changes direction, it can also kill the person behind.

Now that she is still inexperienced, everything she does will be in vain. Why not wait until she has the confidence in the future to protect the people she wants to protect and settle the accounts she wants to settle?

The next evening, Yan Yongchen invited a female witch doctor with scars all over her face from somewhere. Her exact age could not be determined, and her voice was so hoarse and rough that it sounded like a demon crawling out of hell.

The witch doctor did not allow others to watch while she was treating the patient, so everyone could only wait outside.

In just half a cup of tea, Qian Manman's voice was heard from the inner room.

"Ah!!! Ghost... Who are you and why are you in my bedroom?" Although he asked in fear, his voice was as soft and weak as a kitten.

Seeing Yan Muxi coming in, Qian Manman fluttered and tried to get out of bed, "Sister Xi, is she a human or a ghost?"

Yan Muxi and Liu's mother went forward to support her.

Madam Liu hastily comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Madam. This woman is the doctor who will treat you."

The witch doctor said nothing and walked out of the house without even looking at them.

Qian Manman stared at her back for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Am I really sick?"

She felt like she had slept for a very long time and didn't feel anything in her body. Oh, and she had a very short dream in the middle, in which she dreamed that her husband came back!

"Don't worry, ma'am. You've recovered from your illness. After some time of recuperation, you will be back to normal." Mother Liu wiped her tears and comforted her.

Qian Manman's mind had long wandered away. She stared blankly at Yan Yongchen at the door. When she was sure that she was not mistaken, she immediately smiled and said, "My husband is really back. When did he come back?"

Mother Liu made way for Yan Yongchen, who sat down beside the bed and said in a gentle voice, "We just came into the mansion yesterday. Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Qian Manman shook her head and looked at him infatuatedly, "My husband has become thinner and darker, and why doesn't he trim his beard? He looks so sloppy when he goes out that he hardly looks like a human being!"

Yan Muxi really wanted to take a bronze mirror and look at her mother, to see who was more ugly?

Qian Manman had not eaten or drunk anything and had been in a coma for many days. She became so thin that she was just a bag of bones. Her cheekbones were protruding and her eye sockets were sunken, making her look more than ten years older.

Yan Yongchen stared at the person in front of him with a smile, his eyes full of affection, without any trace of disgust.

"Mom, do you have the strength to get up? Grandpa is still waiting outside!" Yan Muxi really couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted him with a disgusting look.

Qian Manman thought she had misheard, and when she realized what was happening, she asked in surprise, "Dad is in Luodu City?"

Seeing that no one denied it, she threw off the quilt and tried to get out of bed, but she fell back because she had no strength left. "Hurry, my husband, help me out. I haven't seen my father in more than two years!"

Mother Liu brought out a coat, Yan Yongchen took it and put it on Qian Manman himself. He also helped her tidy up her hair before carrying her out of the inner room.

Seeing Qian Chongguang waiting at the door, Qian Manman tearfully called out, "Dad!"

Qian Chongguang suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said gently, "It's good that you woke up, but do you still feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Qian Manman shook her head with tears in her eyes. "No, my daughter feels fine except that she has no strength. Did Dad come to Luodu City because of my illness? Will you stay longer? I want to..."

Qian Chongguang interrupted her, "Don't talk too much when you just recovered from a serious illness. It's important to rest your body." Then he looked at Yan Yongchen and said, "Son-in-law, please take good care of Man'er. I won't stay any longer."

"Dad, are you leaving now?" Qian Manman was full of reluctance.

"You should take good care of yourself. Dad will come to see you again when he has the chance." After saying this, Qian Chongguang turned and walked out without looking back at his daughter.

It's not that he didn't want to watch it, but he couldn't bear to watch it again. The baby he had raised with great love was actually being cruelly harmed like this.

If you trace the root of the problem, it's all his fault. He neglected his daughter too much because she was too young, which is why he raised her to be naive and foolish.

By the time he discovered the problem, it was too late. His daughter was now in her forties and there was no possibility of correcting her temper.

He didn't want to correct her anymore. Instead of facing the reality with a broken heart, it would be better to let his daughter live a simple and happy life.

As long as it is not exposed, false happiness is also happiness.

Looking at Qian Manman crying on Yan Yongchen's shoulder, and then looking at her grandfather's lonely back as he left, Yan Muxi sighed in his heart and chased after him.

Qian Chongguang was tall and had long legs. Yan Muxi trotted all the way out of the yard before finally catching up with him, "Grandpa!"

Qian Chongguang turned around, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand, "Go back! Your mother is in very poor health and needs someone to take care of her. When you get married, grandpa will come to see you off!"

Yan Muxi strode over, and seeing that there was no one around, he quickly hugged Qian Chongguang.

Grandpa’s body is broad and warm, and I feel extremely safe every time I lean against him.

But considering the strict gender differences, after I turned twelve, I could no longer hug my grandfather casually.

By the time Qian Chongguang reacted, Yan Muxi had already stepped back. He laughed, "This kid is about to get married but is still acting like a spoiled brat like when she was little!"

"Even after I get married, I will still be Grandpa's Xixi. I will belong to Grandpa for the rest of my life." Yan Muxi blinked and smiled with tears in her eyes. "Grandpa, keep your word. You must come to see me off when the time comes. Don't break your promise!"

"Sure!" Qian Chongguang waved his hand, turned around and walked away.

The Qian family's influence is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the situation in Luodu City is complicated due to the gathering of powerful people. In order to avoid trouble, he should not stay in Luodu City for too long.

As the last rays of sunset faded, Yan Muxi stood there until the tall figure disappeared from view, without moving an inch.

"It's windy, go back, miss!" Yinxia advised with a sigh.

No matter how reluctant they were, they had to separate. Yan Muxi looked at him deeply again and said, "Go back!"

Just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly saw a familiar figure passing by. I changed my mind and hurriedly followed.

At the corner gate, Yan Muxi grabbed the maid who had bribed the old woman and was about to leave the house.

"Ah!" The little maid was startled. She turned around and saw that it was Yan Muxi, and quickly covered her face.

Yan Muxi said unhappily, "Don't waste your time. You can't even fool a five-year-old Zhi Jie'er with this make-up. What are you doing, Third Sister? Are you addicted to sneaking out of the house?"

Realizing that she couldn't avoid it, Yan Muyun forced a smile and said, "I really have something urgent to do when I leave the house. Can you just pretend you didn't see it?"

"Then tell me what it is, and I'll see what the situation is."

Knowing that Yan Muxi was not easy to fool, Yan Muyun pulled her to the corner.

"The female doctor who treated my mother today is staying at the Xianglong Inn. I want to go out and meet her."

"What are you going to see the witch doctor for?"

"Of course I'm going to explore medicine. What else can I do? I beg you. I finally found out the whereabouts of the witch doctor. If I don't meet her today, I might never have the chance to meet her again."

Seeing that Yan Mujun's anxiety didn't seem fake, Yan Muxi suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively, "Third sister, are you so interested in witchcraft? Are you willing to risk being punished to explore it?"
