Gu Feiwan smiled bitterly: "Qinglin is a woman with a plan. I am still worried about leaving her in Jiangnan. Qingshuang is such a straightforward person, I will naturally keep her by my side. However, if she really marries Wang Zhong, she has a widowed mother and young sister at home. Qingshuang can't just follow me and leave. The word "filial piety" alone can trap her in Xishu. Alas, the mountains are high and the roads are long, there will always be a time when it is out of reach..."

Gu Feiwan sighed and began to rub his brows again.

Doctor Song found a small box from the medicine box, smeared a little ointment on his fingertips, and stepped forward to gently massage both sides of Gu Feiwan's forehead:

"The boss has considered everything, but there is no logic to the word love. For those who are trapped in it, struggling is in vain. It depends on when God will let them go, and only then can they be freed..."

Gu Feiwan listened carefully at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt that Doctor Song's tone was bleak, and something in his mind moved:

"Doctor Song encountered..."

Before he finished speaking, Doctor Song suddenly stopped, took two steps back, and regained his usual solemnity, but said in a very urgent tone: "No!"

Just after he finished speaking, he realized that he had spoken too hastily, and added: "I just felt moved when I saw Qing Shuang crying miserably!"

Gu Feiwan raised her eyebrows and wanted to ask something else, but the candle on the table happened to burst into sparks. She turned her head to look and stopped talking.

Doctor Song then said, "Bai Shao's injuries have improved a lot. She was able to get out of bed by herself just now. I think she will be able to walk freely in two days."

She had just come in to report this matter, but ended up saying a lot of nonsense. She was feeling annoyed when she saw Gu Feiwan waving his hand:

"Don't worry. We have General Yuan outside and Ali in the palace. Let her rest for a few more days. Don't let her get sick at such a young age."

"Yes!" Doctor Song answered with one word and refused to say anything more.

Gu Feiwan was feeling upset, and she quickly forgot about Doctor Song's strange behavior just now.

In the following days, the war between Wu and the Dongman became increasingly intense.

With the troops brought by Yuan Shaohui, the fighting power of Western Shu doubled, morale was high, and victory after victory was achieved.

But the Dongman were unwilling to give up the victory that was just around the corner, and they fought even harder.

Every day, countless soldiers were carried into the city's military camp, and countless stretchers covered with white cloth were carried out.

Swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield. They will not go around just because you are a righteous army defending your home and country.

But every day there were reports of victory coming from the front line, which strengthened the belief of the people of Western Shu that they would win!

Gu Feiwan was a woman after all. She traveled from the capital to Jiangnan while pregnant, and then rushed to Xishu after giving birth to twins in Jiangnan.

After only a few days in Western Shu, she dealt with the troubles of the Tang and Lu families. Then the Eastern Barbarians invaded. She was exhausted and mentally exhausted.

As soon as Yuan Shaohui arrived, Gu Feiwan's mind became completely relaxed, but he became inexplicably ill!

"You look strong, girl, but how come you become so severe when you get sick?" Yuan Shaohui sat at the head of the bed, looking at Gu Feiwan's sallow cheeks, his eyes full of regret and heartache:

"If I had known earlier, I should have won a battle before coming to recognize you, then you might have felt better!"

"Also, the climate and soil in the capital are not suitable for supporting people. Once the war here is over, you can come back to Zhennan Prefecture with me. Your mother also wants to see you!"

Yuan Shaohui kept on talking, and Gu Feiwan was too drowsy to get a word in. But listening to her relative chattering in her ear, she felt comforted, and the pain in her body didn't seem so painful anymore.

After hearing the word "mother", Gu Feiwan struggled to get up: "Mother, did mother send a letter?"

Yuan Shaohui had never taken care of a girl like Gu Feiwan. Back then, his own daughter was naughty and active. She would climb up the roof to tear off tiles and climb trees to rob bird nests. She was so tough that it made him feel at ease.

Gu Feiwan was different. He was like the white porcelain vase that the military advisor had forcibly placed in his room. It looked beautiful and noble, but he was afraid that it would break if he touched it with his rough hands and feet!

Yuan Shaohui was circling around the bed with his hands tied together: "Someone, come quickly, check how your girl wants to lie down, make her comfortable, don't make her uncomfortable!"

Nanny Zhu quickly brought in two little maids, carefully helped Gu Feiwan up, put two soft pillows under her, and wrung out a handkerchief to wipe her face.

Yuan Shaohui couldn't help sighing: "How did he get so sick? Is that female doctor capable? If not, we should ask a famous doctor to treat him..."

"Grandfather, please don't say that anymore. Doctor Song has excellent medical skills, but he has a bad temper!" Gu Feiwan leaned back and smiled.

Yuan Shaohui squeezed over again, and seeing Gu Feiwan's forced smile, he felt even more distressed:

"Stop laughing! You're not tired, but I'm tired just looking at you. It's more tiring than when I'm on the battlefield killing the enemy!"

He tucked the quilt in for Gu Feiwan clumsily but carefully, and said:

"I think we should call Ning Weizhou back. He took on this mess because he wanted to serve the country with all his heart, but he made you run around and work hard. I must teach him a lesson so that he won't bully you all the time..."

"Grandfather, this is not his fault. A man's duty is to build a career and make achievements. I am his wife. Even if I cannot help him, I must not hold him back. This is what a Yuan family member should do!"

Yuan Shaohui was pleased to hear Gu Feiwan's words. Although he was still angry in his heart, at least he no longer blamed Ning Weizhou for his mistakes.

"Grandfather, you haven't answered me yet. Has mother received any letter recently?" Gu Feiwan asked.

Yuan Shaohui lowered his head, found a chair at the table and sat down. He poured himself some tea, but then complained that the tea was too bland and shouted for a stronger tea.

When he stopped moving, Gu Feiwan asked again: "Grandfather, what happened to my mother?"

Yuan Shaohui was a straightforward person. He had spent his entire life trying to cover up what he had just said. Seeing that he could not escape, he could only take a deep breath and said helplessly:

"Your mother is not in a good mood sometimes. She received a letter from home the day before yesterday saying that she was very excited after hearing about your story and was a little... a little confused..."

Gu Feiwan tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes. She was more observant than others. From the slightly forced smile on Yuan Shaohui's face when he mentioned her mother, she knew that her mother's situation was not as simple as Yuan Shaohui said.

If he was just unable to walk, given the Yuan family's financial resources and his mother's concern for the family, he should have contacted the Gu family as soon as he got better.

Gu Feiwan believed that with such sensible elders as her grandparents and her young daughter, her mother would not have disappeared for so many years.

Moreover, according to the account books that Gu Feiwan had seen himself, the Gu family had never stopped looking for the third wife over the years. Judging from the expenditures in the accounts, someone went to Zhennan Mansion to inquire every year, but due to Yuan Shaohui's violent temper, they did not dare to inquire openly.

"Mother...does she sometimes not recognize people?" Gu Feiwan said with difficulty.

In the eyes of everyone in the Gu family, her mother was a bright and cheerful woman who was quick and decisive in her work and had an open-minded and generous personality.

What on earth could cause such an intelligent and chivalrous woman to become insane?
