"Send someone to invite him. The Fourth Young Master didn't eat anything except dinner, how could this happen?" The personal maid was very worried.

Shangguan Haitong didn't say anything, but just concentrated on wiping the corners of her fourth brother's mouth with a handkerchief.

After a while, Shangguan Chi vomited again.

The personal maid quickly caught it in a basin.

At this time, Shangguan Kui and Aunt Zhou came anxiously.

Shangguan Haitong stepped back.

Shangguan Kui sat on the bed and touched his beloved son, worryingly asking, "What happened?"

The personal maid explained: "The young master only had dinner in the evening, and didn't eat anything else..."

"How do you guys serve? You take care of the young master like this, but you just stand there doing nothing." Shangguan Kui would not listen to any explanation at all. To him, it was just an excuse.

If the servants fail to serve properly, they will all be punished!

"My son." Yang Lanyi was supported in by Nanny Fang.

The maid quickly brought a chair.

Yang Lanyi was not feeling well herself and did not want to pass on her illness and make her already uncomfortable son feel even worse.

She sat down not far away, staring at her son closely: "How is it? Is it serious? Has the doctor seen it?"

Shangguan Haitong replied: "I have sent someone to invite him, he will be here soon."

As he was speaking, Shangguan Chi vomited all over the place.

Yang Lanyi was distressed: "Why don't you send someone to urge him. He is your own brother, how can you not be anxious when he is so sick? The housekeeper got involved in such a matter, if anything happens to Chi'er, I will only blame you."

She was anxious and used her eldest daughter as an outlet. Her son was still young and she was really worried about what might happen.

Shangguan Haitong lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Shangguan Kui's face also looked very ugly.

Aunt Zhou coaxed this one and then that one.

As everyone was waiting, the doctor arrived.

He felt the pulse and said, "Young Master, you ate something unclean. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take good care of yourself."

Shangguan Haitong paid the medical fee and ordered someone to follow the doctor to get the medicine, boil it and send it over.

After taking a bowl of medicine, Shangguan Chi's condition improved. He stopped vomiting and fell into a deep sleep.

Everyone left the bedroom and came to the hall.

Yang Lanyi sat in the main seat and angrily said with all her might, "Since the doctor said Chi'er ate something unclean and that caused him to vomit, someone must have given him something else besides dinner. Who is it? Stand up!"

The servants were silent as a mouse, with their heads down and not daring to make a sound.

Shangguan Kui frowned: "Since you are unwilling to stand up, don't blame me for asking people to search. Start with those who serve Chi'er."

The personal maid glanced at Shangguan Haitong, and seeing no reaction, she stood up and led the search of the room.

Yang Lanyi winked and Nanny Fang followed and kept an eye on it.

Aunt Zhou smiled gently: "The eldest daughter is in charge of the household. She knows best what is lacking and what is in abundance in the mansion. We all had dinner together, and only Chi'er had an accident. Maybe there was something in the dishes that he couldn't eat."

Yang Lanyi thought this was possible: "Yes, yes, yes. Let the doctor check if there is anything wrong with tonight's meal."

Shangguan Haitong nodded and asked someone to bring a doctor to check.

The entire kitchen was searched but nothing was found. The servants' rooms were also empty-handed.

Yang Lanyi became more unhappy: "Check other courtyards as well."

Shangguan Haitong said helplessly: "What is mother going to do? Are you going to raid your own house? Fourth brother might have been feeling unwell because he wanted to stay cool at night. He is fine now, so why make a fuss about it. The maids should just pay more attention to him in the future."

"Making a mountain out of a molehill? You actually said I was making a mountain out of a molehill?" Yang Lanyi was so angry that she slammed the table. "Didn't you see how uncomfortable Chi Er was when he vomited? Is this a small matter? You are the eldest sister, and you are in charge of the family. How can you say such cold-blooded and heartless words?"

Aunt Zhou said in a gentle tone, "Yes, young lady. Chi'er is the only son of the master, so how can we not keep a close eye on him? If you mind, we won't search your yard. Master and Madam, please search my yard. As long as it's for Chi'er's good, I don't mind at all."

Shangguan Kui said with a gloomy face: "I am unkind to my sister, and I am not qualified to be the head of the household. Why do you not allow the courtyard to be searched? What is your intention?"

Shangguan Haitong laughed angrily, looking at the stupid parents: "Now that we have come to this, let's talk it out. Children will inevitably get sick when they grow up. Once they get sick, searching the servants' rooms is not only an insult, but also chilling. Have you ever seen a family do this?"

"The servants' rooms have been checked and nothing is wrong. Father and mother think someone is plotting to murder Fourth Brother, and in anger they threaten to search the entire mansion. If this gets out, will outsiders praise your love for Chi Er? No. They will only laugh at your stupidity."

Shangguan Kui and Yang Lanyi's faces turned green with anger.

One of them covered his heart and gasped.

One of them yelled, "Rebellious girl!"

Shangguan Haitong was strong and unyielding, like a pine or bamboo: "The child's illness is just a small matter, but you want to make a big fuss and let everyone laugh at it. Who will have their house confiscated? Others try to avoid it, but the father and mother actually ordered their own house confiscated. Do you think your life is too good?"

Shangguan Kui and Yang Lanyi reacted, stunned and frightened, but they had to maintain their composure.

Aunt Zhou tried to smooth things over: "Master and Madam were just anxious at the moment, they didn't think too much. Don't blame me, young lady."

Shangguan Haitong looked at her with contempt: "Auntie thinks she is innocent and proposed to search her own yard. Little did she know that this move was very inappropriate. If someone with ulterior motives found out, it would be reported to the emperor. The emperor would be furious. Will father still have the official hat? Auntie is so evil."

Since this matter concerns his position, Shangguan Kui had to be cautious: "Chi'er is fine now, let's forget about today's incident."

"Goodbye, father and mother." Shangguan Haitong bowed and saw them off.

The atmosphere was awkward and it was not possible to stay for long.

Shangguan Kui and Yang Lanyi had no choice but to get up and leave, but they were not happy.

Or they were full of resentment towards Shangguan Haitong, because their daughter's aura was actually above theirs.

As a parent, I feel so ashamed.

Aunt Zhou smiled and nodded: "The eldest girl is very eloquent, which is admirable."

Shangguan Haitong smiled softly: "Aunt, you deceived my father and mother out of their trust. You and I both know what happened today. Let's be frank. I won't touch Yunshu, and you'd better not touch my fourth brother. Otherwise, be careful that the old man will send the young man away."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou's face changed.

She knew the eldest girl was capable of doing this. She could do this to her own mother, let alone her half-sister.

"I believe that the eldest lady will do what she says. Please give me your guidance in the future." Aunt Zhou raised her eyes sharply.

Shangguan Haitong did not respond.

Aunt Zhou smiled and passed by: "Miss, there is a long way to go."

The footsteps faded away.

Shangguan Haitong's eyes were calm, what a simple provocation...

After all the commotion, it was already late at night.

The maid held a lantern for lighting.

Shangguan Haitong walked slowly behind, feeling the comfortable breeze, and no one knew what was going on in her mind.

When they returned to Luowan Courtyard, Huanshuang greeted them at the door: "Miss, is the Fourth Young Master okay?"

"Nothing." Shangguan Haitong entered the bedroom and sat down in front of the dressing mirror. "Has anyone come here since I left?"

Huan Shuang shook her head: "No. I know how important the letter is to the girl, so I have been watching it all the time."
