Qin's three questions not only stumped Zhao Shuzhen, but also made Chu Yunxu, who had just woken up, forget to cry out in pain.

"Your son is pitiful, but all four people on the field were injured because of him."

"Your son has parents, but other people's sons don't?"

"She didn't stay on the scene to deal with it. Could it be that she would just run away like this damn cousin?"

Chu Yizhao said that his brother and mother liked his cousin, but she didn't believe it. She thought there was no mother in the world who didn't love her own children. She didn't expect that there really was one.

Qin looked at Zhao Shuzhen's panic-stricken face, without even a trace of guilt. She shook her head hopelessly and turned to Chu Yizhao and said,

"Auntie has already invited the imperial physician for you. Your elder brother Qin is still in pain from his back injury. Do you want to follow Auntie back home and have him take a look?"

Chu Yizhao knew that she meant well and felt a little warm in her heart, but she couldn't leave because there was still a good show to come.

"Thank you, Auntie. My fourth brother is seriously injured. Even though I can't help him, I still want to stay with him."

Qin nodded. It was indeed not a good idea to call the person away at this time. She gave a few more instructions before leaving.

After Qin left, Zhao Shuzhen spoke in a sarcastic tone,

"She loves you"

"We don't know whether our fourth brother is alive or dead, mother should go check on him."

Chu Yizhao's indifferent attitude made Zhao Shuzhen feel upset.

When Qin arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, she happened to meet Chu Huai. Chu Huai had both a title and an official position, so Qin should have bowed to him.

Unexpectedly, Qin rolled her eyes, snorted coldly, and strode away without paying any attention to him.

What's going on here?

Chu Huai looked puzzled. Without time to investigate, he walked towards the inner courtyard.

When Chu Huai arrived, the imperial physician was giving acupuncture to Chu Yunxu. The female members of the family were all standing in front of the hall, and Chu Yizhao stood at the outermost with a swollen face.

Chu Huai saw it at a glance.

His eyes moved slightly.

"My Lord..." Zhao Shuzhen saw that the backbone had come, and she suddenly fell into his arms, with tears in her eyes.

"My Lord, you are finally back, Xu'er...my son"

Chu held her in his arms and put her on the chair. Zhushan immediately stepped forward and told her what happened today.

"Useless!" Chu Huai was furious, "You can't even take good care of the young master, drag him down to fight!"

"My Lord, spare my life, my Lord"

Soon someone came forward and tried to drag Zhushan away.

"Wait a minute," Chu Huai asked, "Is there something wrong with the horse?"

Zhushan quickly broke free from his restraints, knelt forward a few steps, and burst into tears.

"My Lord, the horses in the mansion are all taken care of by special people. I even rode them twice before going on stage. There is absolutely no problem, my Lord."

"Maybe there's something wrong with the person..." Chu Yizhao said faintly, "Aunt Qin said that Fourth Brother staggered twice before he fell."

Chu Huai asked, "What do you think?"

"Perhaps it was because of the Autumn Examination that Fourth Brother stayed up all night reviewing his lessons and didn't get enough rest?" Chu Yizhao guessed tentatively.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhushan immediately told Chu Yunxu everything about his poor sleep and nightmares in the past few days as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"The palace doctor also prescribed a tranquilizer, but it still didn't work. I heard that gardenias can soothe the mind, so I brought back a few pots, and it got better."

"Dog slave" Zhao Shuzhen picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on Zhushan's head, and blood gushed out immediately.

"How dare you not report it when you knew your master was unwell?"

"And you"

Zhao Shuzhen pointed at Chu Yizhao and cursed,

"You didn't even help my brother with something as minor as insomnia, and you still say that this is not just a betrayal!"

"I think you are very wild! From today on, you stay at home and serve Xu'er. Don't even think about going anywhere!"

Her voice was sharp and urgent. She finally caught Chu Yizhao's tail and couldn't wait to announce the guilt.

Chu Huai frowned slightly, but returned to normal in an instant. Chu Yingxue raised the corners of her mouth proudly, just waiting to leave the mansion on her behalf.

There were tigers, leopards, wolves and wolves in this room, and her son was lying there, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. Yet they still had the mind to plot against her, thinking of sucking her blood all the time...

"Mother, didn't I tell you a long time ago?"

"I told you to correct the problem first and then exorcise the evil spirit. Not only did you not listen, you also splashed tea all over my body and sent me to the farm as punishment..."

"Have you forgotten?"

Chu Yizhao's gaze was staring straight ahead, so bright that it was frightening.

Zhao Shuzhen almost subconsciously stopped breathing. No matter how much she planned and thought, it was no match for her son...

The imperial physician came out, and Zhao Shuzhen asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

Chu Huai also asked, "My son will take part in the Autumn Examination next month. I wonder if he will be able to hold the pen and take part in the examination then?"

The doctor's face twitched, not knowing what to say, so he could only bow his hands and apologize.

"The Fourth Young Master's right arm... I'm afraid..."

He considered his words.

“I’m afraid it will be hard to lift it up again.”

The bedroom was suddenly silent, the air stopped flowing, and Chu Yunxu's suppressed cry of pain could be heard from the room. It was hurting his arm, and also hurting his life...

Zhao Shuzhen felt a sharp pain in her chest, and her eyes suddenly saw the broken porcelain...

The teacup that was thrown at Zhushan fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

Just like the one she threw at Chu Yizhao that day.

"So...it's me..."

For some reason, Zhao Shuzhen suddenly covered her heart and let out an extremely sad howl, like the cry of a female goose, and the next moment she fell on the pear wood chair.

"lady!"

"aunt!"

Chu Yizhao looked at the blue sky. The pain in his wrist was gone. In two days he would go to Ruibaozhai to buy a jade bracelet.

Before one problem was solved, another one arose. Qian brought officials to the Marquis's mansion to block the door, threatening to force Chu Huai to hand over Chu Yingxue.

"Pretending to be the daughter of a marquis, she tricked me into a loop"

"I am just a lowly weed, yet I still dream of becoming a rich and beautiful girl"

"Bah! What a piece of shit! She's not even worthy of being my concubine."

I don't know who advised her, but Qian felt that she couldn't afford to offend a real daughter, so she changed her tone and only scolded Chu Yingxue.

A crowd gathered in front of the mansion. In addition to the common people, many neighbors and servants were also listening.

Chu Yingxue almost fainted when she heard this. This was the fact and she couldn't defend herself. She was pulled over by the furious Chu Huai to apologize.

Looking at the strange looks around her, she wished she could stab Chu Yizhao to death with a knife. If she hadn't taken over the old man's nest, none of this would have happened!

Chu Yizhao didn't know all this. She held a cricket cage in her hand, raised it slightly, and threw it into the raging fire in the medicine furnace.

The cage made of straw and vines quickly climbed up the flames and turned into ashes in just a few breaths.

Chu Yunxu agreed to use strong medicine to fight poison with poison. Was it really because of hand shaking that he failed the imperial examination?

Chu Yizhao had no way of knowing.

Three people in the family fell ill, which was really unlucky. Chu Huai asked Chu Yizhao to go to Guangyin Temple to pray for his family.

Before leaving, Chu Yizhao visited each of the patients in his care one by one.

The Shen family's courtyard smelled of horse manure. Chu Yizhao glanced at the ugly horse and wondered if Chen Yingyue had killed this horse...

Probably... no

"The weather is hot and humid, don't close the curtains and windows every day"

What's wrong with these people? If people don't see the sun, they will only die faster.

"But Ah Qing is cold," Shen Zheng explained.

"If you lose too much blood, you will feel cold. You need to replenish your blood. Open the window to ventilate. You will feel more comfortable."

Shen Zheng obediently went to open the window. Nie Yuqing found it interesting.

"You are the first person who can command him."

“I don’t deserve it”

Chu Yizhao still randomly found a handkerchief and started taking the patient's pulse.

Nie Yuqing smiled and said, "Doctor Ming is really free and easy."

"My master taught me this when I was a kid. Everything can be used."

"I have rarely heard of the Dao of Huang-Lao. I only heard one or two sentences in Yancheng when I was young. It has been a long time..."

Nie Yuqing fell into memories.

Chu Yizhao fell into deep silence.

Out of the Shen family courtyard.

Chu Yizhao closed his eyes...

She is indeed not Tuoxing.
