During the night, both Ye Nanshen and Rong Qi were in bed but seemed unable to sleep. Ye Nanshen turned to embrace her, resting his forehead against her shoulder.

Rong Qi, lying flat, asked, “Can’t sleep?”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry, I’ll figure it out,” Ye Nanshen reassured her.

Rong Qi chuckled, “I’m not overthinking. It’s just a bunch of crows. We’ll deal with it.”

In fact, crows had been circling their and Ye Rong’s rooftops for several days.

“I’ll handle it, let’s sleep,” Ye Nanshen urged.

Rong Qi laughed softly and turned to hug him back.

After a long while, when he heard Rong Qi’s light breathing, indicating she was asleep, Ye Nanshen quietly got out of bed and left the room.

When he returned later in the night, he was damp and chose to lie on the sofa rather than disturb her.

However, soon there was a commotion outside.

Annoyed, Ye Nanshen opened his eyes and saw Rong Qi waking up, looking alarmed. He got up to check on her, “Isn’t it still dark? What’s happening outside?”

At that moment, Mrs. Hong came to knock on their door.

Ye Nanshen got up to answer it.

“Sir, Madam, Mrs. Ye Sr. just vomited blood. Master Ye was alarmed, and doctors were attending to her. Everyone in the mansion is awake now. Would you like to come and see her?” Mrs. Hong reported.

Mrs. Ye Sr.’s vomiting blood was a serious matter.

Apart from the sick Ye Rong, both Ye Nanshen and Rong Qi needed to go.

Mrs. Ye Sr.’s room was crowded with people, with doctors still examining her.

Mrs. Hong, not wanting Rong Qi to be affected, asked Ye Nanshen to accompany her to the living room.

Old Master Ye, with furrowed brows, asked Ye Nanshen, “How is the investigation going?”

“Still underway,” Ye Nanshen replied.

Ye Shaochen, with a slight smile, offered, “If you need help, just say. I’ll do what I can.”

“No need,” Ye Nanshen responded curtly.

Rejected, Ye Shaochen didn’t take offense and remained seated, smiling to himself.

The doctor stayed in Mrs. Ye Sr.’s room for over an hour before emerging. “What illness caused the sudden vomiting of blood?” Old Master Ye asked.

The doctor began, “Mrs. Ye Sr. had discomfort before, but was reportedly cured by Rong Qi’s traditional methods.”

Before he could finish, Rong Qi interjected, “Not traditional methods, but my method. And you said she was cured.”

She emphasized her point; once cured, it was no longer her concern, nor could it be blamed on traditional medicine. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The doctor hesitated, then continued, “This seems like a relapse, but more severe. I’ve taken her blood for tests and we’ll know more tomorrow. For now, she’s resting after taking my prescription. It’s best if she avoids wind and disturbances for the next couple of days.”

Old Master Ye frowned, “We’ll discuss further after the test results.”

He then dismissed everyone, “Alright, you can go back to your quarters now.”

However, just as Old Master Ye finished speaking, someone suggested, “This is too strange.. Grandpa, should we invite a high monk to look into this?”
