Xu Chen said to the housekeeper, "Then I'll have to trouble you, housekeeper."

The housekeeper smiled and said to Xu Chen, "Master, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

After that, the housekeeper turned to Xu Ming and said, "Second Young Master, are you going back with the eldest young master, or with this old servant?"

Xu Ming looked at Xu Chen and said to the housekeeper, "I'll go with my brother. My sister-in-law is still in a coma. Maybe I can help if I stay!"

The manager bowed to Xu Ming and said, "Then I will go back first!"

Xu Ming said to the housekeeper, "Then go back and tell father as soon as possible!"

The butler bowed to Xu Chen and Xu Ming and left.

As soon as the housekeeper left, Xu Chen said to Xu Ming, "How is it? Admit defeat!"

Xu Ming helplessly followed Xu Chen and said, "I lost, big brother, tell me what to do!"

Xu Chen looked at Xu Ming, thought for a moment and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. Wait until I think about it!"

Xu Ming nodded and said, "Okay, you will be back at the Duke's Mansion tomorrow anyway, so we can fulfill this bet anytime!"

Xu Chen said to Xu Ming, "Okay! I'm not afraid that you will run away!"

Xu Ming smiled and said to Xu Chen, "What should we do next?"

Xu Chen said to Xu Ming, "We just have to wait. If I'm not mistaken, he will definitely take action. After all, I'm going back so readily!"

Xu Ming nodded and said, "Well, what are you going to do here, sister-in-law?"

Xu Chen smiled and said to Xu Ming, "Just wait and see what happens."

Xu Ming sat for a while and then left!

Time flies, Liyue and the others have been in the Huguo Temple for two days, and Su Yao is still not awake and has been sleeping all the time!

Liyue and the others were preparing to leave Huguo Temple today. Qingping said to Liyue, "Yue'er, should we go see Madam Xu?"

Liyue thought of what she had said to Xu Chen. She was afraid that Qingping would be wronged, so she said to Qingping, "Mother, I can go today. You should prepare to go back home."

Qingping hesitated for a moment and said to Liyue, "Yue'er, is this okay? If I don't go, will anyone think that our General's Mansion is irresponsible? After all, we brought Madam Xu with us."

Li Yue said softly to Qing Ping, "No need, mother, after all, she is not the real Madam Xu. So we don't need to do something. Besides, we have already discussed things with Master Xu, and I'm afraid that if you go there, it will be even more chaotic."

Qing Ping had no choice but to nod when she heard this, and said to Li Yue, "Then you should be careful."

Liyue nodded and said to Qingping, "Don't worry, mother!"

Li Yue left immediately after she finished speaking.

As soon as Li Yue came out of the room, she ran into Xiao Hanqi. Li Yue smiled happily and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Hanqi smiled and said to Li Yue, "I know you are going to Madam Xu again, so I came to see you and go with you."

Li Yue smiled and said to Xiao Hanqi, "You still understand me, right? Then let's go together."

Xiao Hanqi smiled and said, "Okay, let's go act together."

In this way, the two of them arrived at Xu Chen's room, which was filled with a tense atmosphere. Su Yao, who was lying on the sickbed, looked pale, with a weak breath, and her life seemed to be gradually slipping away. However, Xu Chen, who was standing aside, ignored Li Yue and the others who came in, but looked at the doctor in front of him with a suspicious face and disbelief!

The doctor anxiously explained to Xu Chen, "Sir Xu, your wife is really badly injured, and the poison has not been completely cleaned up. I told you yesterday that if she doesn't get better today, there is nothing we can do." The doctor said this earnestly, but Xu Chen was unmoved, firmly believing that this was just a scam. He pointed at the doctor angrily, with distrust and anger in his voice, and shouted, "You quack, don't try to deceive me! How could my wife be dying!"

The doctor tried to calm Xu Chen down. He persuaded him earnestly, "Sir Xu, this is true. I am not lying to you. Besides, the poison your wife was poisoned with is too rare. I have never heard of it. Now your wife's pulse is getting weaker and weaker. I hope Sir Xu can face the reality calmly." However, after hearing what the doctor said, Xu Chen became even more agitated. He pushed the doctor and drove him out the door.

"Get lost! I don't need your hypocrisy! My wife will get better!" Xu Chen's eyes were full of stubbornness and despair. The doctor shook his head helplessly and turned away, leaving Xu Chen standing by Su Yao's side, holding her hand tightly, as if fighting against fate.

The whole room fell into silence, with only the heavy breathing of Xu Chen and the faint panting of Su Yao on the bed. Xu Chen's heart was full of contradictions and pain. He didn't want to believe that his wife was about to leave him, but he couldn't accept this cruel reality.

Xu Chen's look made Xu Wu at the side not know how to persuade him. Li Yue also walked in with a worried look on her face and said to Xu Chen, "Master Xu, Master Xu. Don't worry, when we return to Kyoto, I will definitely find a way to find a doctor to cure your wife!"

Xu Chen was originally quite sad, but when he heard Li Yue's voice, he immediately stood up angrily and said to Li Yue, "Get lost, I don't need you to be hypocritical here. Aren't these things happening because of you? I told my wife that I can't have any contact with your general's mansion, and I don't want to, but I didn't expect to find out that something like this happened. What do you think? Are you really fine? Is it really because of me?

And you haven't found out who the assassin is yet. You are still pretending here. I don't need you to pretend here. I will return to Kyoto. If anything happens to my wife, I will never forgive you in the General's Mansion!"

Xu Chen yelled at Li Yue, who quickly stepped back in fear. Xiao Hanqi saw Xu Chen's expression and quickly protected Li Yue behind him. Xu Chen saw Xiao Hanqi, sneered at him and said, "Why does Prince Han want to interfere in the affairs of the General's Mansion now? Be careful and don't get implicated by them."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he walked directly to the bed. Xu Chen's brows were furrowed, his eyes revealed doubt and uneasiness, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was disdainful of the doctor's statement. He held Su Yao's hand tightly, as if he wanted to find evidence from her pulse, but quickly loosened it, as if to cover up his distrust. His voice was a little cold, and he asked Su Yao on the bed: "Do you really think you won't live long?" Su Yao on the bed closed her eyes, and then there was a silence. He silently stared at his wife, without any grief or pity on his face, only the doubt that could not be concealed.
