All day long, the lady of the house did not leave her room. Yixuan delivered all her meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, to her quarters. With her back turned to him, she said not a word. He noticed some blood on the blanket, which made him think of his fourth brother. He wondered, was fourth brother’s temper too fiery? It seemed there was always blood... He also felt somewhat worried about the lady of the house and secretly guessed what mood she might be in now. Embarrassed, annoyed, shy? Or perhaps something else... After delivering the dinner, Yixuan quietly stepped out of the room. The little lady of the house also stealthily poked her head out from under the covers. She pursed her lips, then her eyes glazed over... It was supposed to be Fifth Brother Yue Ning’s day. But seemingly petulant, Yue Ning had sneaked off to the mountains. He pent up frustration, hoping hunting might vent some of it. Nevertheless, that evening, the little lady of the house truly suffered a great deal. She didn’t sleep well all night, her body remained feverishly hot, yet she stubbornly refused to make a sound. It was as if she had come down with a serious illness, a fever that would not break. By dawn the next day, she was utterly delirious from the fever. Yixuan rose early, stepped out of the house, and was about to wash his face when he saw Fifth Brother carrying an ax, his face weather-beaten as he returned from outside. He was startled, "Fifth Brother?" Yue Ning gruffly nodded, then walked past Yixuan. Yixuan suddenly grabbed his arm, "You... you weren’t in the lady’s room last night?" Yue Ning turned his face away, "In any case, she already had our eldest and third brother," he said indignantly, then threw down the ax. Yixuan was dazed, "You, you——" he bit down hard, then released Fifth Brother and hurriedly dashed toward the lady’s room. Seeing the semi-unconscious figure on the bed, her hair wet, her clothes damp and her entire demeanour as if she had just been pulled out of water, Yixuan felt a severe panic and quickly wrapped her in a blanket, then hurriedly carried her towards the Yun God Courtyard. In the courtyard, Liang Yuening saw this scene. Although resentful about the matters regarding his eldest and third brother, he couldn’t help but worry and asked dryly, "What happened to the lady?" Yixuan glared at him, Little Liu coming to a frightening rage. He ignored Fifth Brother, his entire heart concentrated on the lady. At that moment, fourth brother came out of the house, saw the situation, and without a word, quickly followed Yixuan. Divine Doctor Yun was woken up early by the noise, already in a bad mood, but upon seeing Huiying being carried in by Yixuan, she quickly stepped aside, allowing Yixuan to lay the blanketed figure on her bed. She touched Huiying’s forehead, checked her pulse, then darkly looked towards Lao Si, Yue Ning, and Yixuan. "Did you take my warning the other night for the wind? If she has been rendered foolish by this fever, it’s all your fault!" Divine Doctor Yun was angered, stood up, and began shooing them away, "If you don’t cherish her, better vacate this position soon. With Purple chervil this good, can’t she find a better man easily?" Yixuan’s face turned pale, "Doctor Yun! How is she?" "How is she? Half dead from the fever, you tell me if that’s good or bad!" Divine Doctor Yun, tired of dealing with them, took down a bronze horn from the wall and puffed her cheeks to give a strong blow. In the west of Purple Garden, Hong Fei and others, who were up early for morning exercises, changed their expressions and immediately sprinted towards them.
