Yu Ansheng was still hesitating, but when Tao winked at him, he had no choice but to nod.

"Okay then, I'll go with you first."

"Dad, I'll go with you!"

Shu Xin took the initiative to speak.

Yu Ansheng hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Nanyuan was overjoyed and nodded quickly to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Doctor Yu, and thank you, Miss Shu... Tao."

Xiao Nanyuan thanked Shu Xin and quickly changed her address.

Shuxin nodded.

This Xiao Nanyuan must have recognized me.

However, as far as I can remember, I have never seen the second young lady of the Xiao family.

I think it’s because this Second Miss Xiao was born out of wedlock.

Yu Ansheng turned around and went into the house to get the medicine and put it in his arms, then he took Shu Xin to Xiao's room.

The three of them arrived at the place quickly.

But the lights were still on in the house, and it seemed that no one in the Xiao family had slept yet.

Xiao Nanyuan hurried forward and knocked on the door.

"Auntie, open the door quickly, it's me."

There was a commotion in the room and soon the door was opened.

I saw a middle-aged woman standing inside the door, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Xiao Nanyuan.

"You are finally back. I was just about to go look for you."

"Your elder brother is still sick, how can you run around..."

She was about to continue speaking, but she saw Yu Ansheng and Shu Xin, father and daughter, following behind Xiao Nanyuan, and was stunned.

"you……"

"Auntie, this is Doctor Yu and his daughter, Miss Tao."

Xiao Nanyuan hurried to explain.

Aunt Shi was a little stunned and looked around the house hesitantly.

"This……"

She looked struggling and was obviously hesitating.

But at this moment, the sound was heard again in the house.

"who is it?"

But then a white-haired old man came out.

With the help of moonlight, Shuxin could see her appearance clearly.

"Meet Old Lady Xiao."

Shu Xin squatted and saluted the other party.

Yu Ansheng also bowed to Old Lady Xiao.

Old Madam Xiao didn't say anything, but stared at Shuxin with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

Shuxin was not annoyed. She stood there calmly and let her look at her.

Shu Xin knew what Old Lady Xiao was thinking. She must feel that since Shu Xin had humiliated her grandson before, and now she actually came to visit him, she must have ulterior motives.

Seeing this, Xiao Nanyuan was worried that her grandmother would get angry, so she quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

"Grandma, let's let Doctor Yu check on my brother first!"

Only then did Old Lady Xiao not go to see Shuxin.

She turned to look at Yu Ansheng, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Doctor Yu, thank you for your help!"

Seeing Shu Xin being treated coldly by her grandmother, Xiao Nanyuan looked at her apologetically.

But she looked calm and didn't care at all.

Xiao Nanyuan felt relieved, but also felt very confused.

The eldest daughter of the Shu family looks very different from before.

No one knows why she followed the Tao family into exile.

Three people entered the door.

Soon, someone fumbled around in the room and lit a fire stick.

Only then did Shu Xin see the situation in the room clearly.

There were not many people in the house, only ten in total including the servants.

However, this is not because the other members of the Xiao family escaped this disaster.

It’s because the Xiao family has never had many members.

Xiao Bei looked at the elders above him, and only Old Madam Xiao was left.

Xiao Beiwang has only one father, Aunt Shi from the second branch of the Xiao family.

Xiao Beiwang's parents and two uncles all died on the battlefield.

The whereabouts of the only aunt is unknown.

There are even fewer people of Xiao Beiwang's generation.

The Xiao family's first wife only has Xiao Beiwang and his eldest sister Xiao Beiyun. The second wife only has a concubine's daughter Xiao Nanyuan.

Because of this exile, Xiao Beiyun was divorced by her husband's family and returned to her parents' home with her five-year-old daughter Ningning.

From this rough look, excluding the family of four servants, the Xiao family has no more than six people including Ningning.

At this time, Xiao Beiwang was sleeping on the floor inside the house, with only a cloak covering him.

His face was flushed and he was still trembling, with low moans escaping from his mouth from time to time.

It looks like he has a high fever.

Yu Ansheng didn't say much and went forward to examine Xiao Beiwang.

Shuxin stood aside and watched.

Everyone in the Xiao family was silent.

Aunt Shi seemed to want to invite Shuxin to sit aside, but she felt embarrassed and couldn't open her mouth.

It was Xiao Nanyuan who came over and quietly called Shuxin to talk aside.

"Ms. Tao, thank you for coming here with Dr. Yu."

"My grandmother..."

Xiao Nanyuan seemed to want to say something but stopped.

Shuxin smiled and shook her head.

"It doesn't matter!"

Xiao Nanyuan looked embarrassed, and seeing that Shu Xin really didn't seem to care, his doubts deepened.

You know, Shuxin used to be a domineering person.

If I were treated coldly like today, I would definitely not let it go.

Although Shu Xin's face looked cold now, she exuded a calm and composed aura, which made people want to get close to her.

Xiao Nanyuan wanted to continue chatting with Shu Xin.

So he took the initiative to talk about the incident when Dr. Yu came to deliver medicine to his home.

"Ms. Tao, I'm so sorry. The reason why I took the initiative to seek help from Doctor Yu was because it was my eldest brother who...he didn't allow us to accept the medicine sent by Doctor Yu."

Xiao Nanyuan looked apologetic and spoke to Shu Xin in a low voice.

Shuxin pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled.

"I know. He probably still remembers what I did to him before."

Her tone was light and even contained a hint of teasing.

Xiao Nanyuan panicked and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Miss Xiao, that's not what I meant, I..."

She wanted to explain, but saw Old Lady Xiao coming over.

"Beiwang... doesn't want to implicate others."

Old Madam Xiao spoke slowly, which explained Xiao Beiwang's previous behavior.

Shu Xin thought about it for a moment and then understood.

The exile of the five families this time was more or less related to Xiao Beiwang's attempt to murder the prince.

Therefore, each family has many complaints about the Xiao family.

The Xiao family's situation is special, but they have received special care from above.

Therefore, if any family has close relations with the Xiao family, it might bring disaster.

Shu Xin sighed in her heart, this Xiao Beiwang is really something, he can hardly protect himself, why does he still consider so much about others?

"So he plans to survive all the way to Nanzhou?"

Shu Xin spoke slowly.

Old Madam Xiao turned her head and looked at Shu Xin, her eyes complicated and the meaning was hard to understand.

At this time, Yu Ansheng had already finished reading it.

He carefully applied medicine on Xiao Beiwang's wrists and ankles, and wrapped the wounds with white cloth.

Then he ordered them to quickly get some cold water to wipe Xiao Beiwang's forehead, neck, palms and soles of his feet.

"I have already treated Mr. Xiao's wound."

"It's hard to get medicine in this place, so let's do this to lower the temperature first."

"If he can hold on until tomorrow morning, it means he's fine for now."

Yu Ansheng carefully instructed everyone in the Xiao family to take good care of Xiao Beiwang tonight.

He kept frowning and looked at Xiao Bei suspiciously after he finished speaking.

Shuxin instinctively felt that Yu's father hadn't said anything else.

After hearing this, Old Lady Xiao hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

She took out a ten-liang silver ingot from her sleeve and wanted to give it to Yu Ansheng as medical fee, but was rejected by Yu Ansheng.

"The situation is special now, so Old Lady Xiao doesn't have to do this."

"Besides, Young Master Xiao is only out of danger temporarily, and I can't prescribe medicine for you. I really can't charge you for the consultation fee."

Yu Ansheng spoke sincerely, and seeing this, Old Lady Xiao had no choice but to give up.

Afterwards, Zhao Shunan, the son of the Xiao family's housekeeper, sent the Tao family father and son out.

After they walked a long way, Shu Xin finally asked about the doubts in her heart.

Yu Ansheng glanced around and then lowered his voice to tell Shu Xin.

"He's been poisoned!"
