CHAPTER 739: CHAPTER 741: FULL OF WORRIES (5 UPDATES)

Yun Jinnian also bowed slightly in return.

Wa Shuyuan was petite and exquisite, wearing a white dress that made her look exceptionally spirited.

But now, with the new year approaching, was it really appropriate for her to be wearing white?

"Alright, now that everyone is acquainted, let’s not stand around here. Princess Yijia, please begin the pulse examination for Brother Ah-Gui," Chu Lilan said.

Yun Jinnian nodded slightly.

This was indeed the purpose of her visit.

She did not take Chu Lilan’s haughty attitude to heart.

Seeing Mrs. Dai still holding Brother Ah-Gui, Yun Jinnian sighed softly, "Let him lie on the bed. You can sleep beside him to keep him company. Holding him like this will only make him uncomfortable!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Dai hurriedly complied.

Had it not been for Yun Jinnian’s words today, she would not have stayed to care for Brother Ah-Gui.

She twisted her sore arms a bit.

"Madam, go refresh yourself and have some food. I will watch over Brother Ah-Gui for a while," Yun Jinnian said indifferently.

The love of a parent knows no bounds, and Mrs. Dai truly cared for her child.

"Yes, cousin-in-law, go ahead. Lixiu and I will help you keep watch for a bit," Wa Shuyuan also said hurriedly.

"Second sister-in-law, please go. If you look like this when Brother Ah-Gui wakes up, he will be distressed," Chu Lixiu said gently.

Chu Lilan did not speak.

Mrs. Dai nodded slightly and left the bed to freshen up and eat something.

She knew she would need her strength tonight to watch over him.

After Mrs. Dai went out, Yun Jinnian took Brother Ah-Gui’s pulse.

"Princess Yijia, how is Brother Ah-Gui?" Chu Lixiu asked softly.

"His pulse is stable. As long as he doesn’t develop a fever tonight, that’s good. If he does, it will be quite troublesome!"

Wa Shuyuan quickly asked, "What should we do then? Is there a way to prevent it?"

"No," Yun Jinnian said plainly, withdrawing her hand.

She walked to the side to wash her hands, dried them, and applied a protective hand cream.

Chu Lilan pursed her lips and remained silent.

Wa Shuyuan, not understanding, asked, "Princess Yijia, why do you wash your hands before and after taking a pulse?"

"It’s just to be more precise," she replied.

"?" Wa Shuyuan was still puzzled.

"Because my hands touch many things, and they can pick up dust or other matters."

"I see. It’s the first time I’ve heard of that!" Wa Shuyuan suddenly realized.

Yun Jinnian smiled.

She did not say she was somewhat of a clean freak herself, although that was also a reason.

Chu Yu, Chu Xinhuan, and Chu Xinkai arrived together.

"Cousin..." Wa Shuyuan called out joyfully, advancing to bow, and after taking a glance at Chu Yu, she quickly moved away, "Greetings, Your Highness, Prince Rui!"

Chu Yu waved his hand, saying nothing.

He walked to the bedside and asked Yun Jinnian, "How is Brother Ah-Gui now?"

"His condition is stable for now, but I’m worried he might develop a fever at night. Plus, the poison in his body will act up again tonight."

Chu Lilan and Wa Shuyuan were surprised to learn that Brother Ah-Gui had been poisoned.

This was utterly inconceivable.

From now on, Chu Xinhuan would definitely need to stay. Chu Yu indicated he would stay as well, and there was no need to mention Chu Xinkai.

And Chu Lilan, Chu Lixiu, and Wa Shuyuan also decided to stay.

When Mrs. Dai returned, she was carrying a little girl in her arms, who had swollen red eyes and was sniffing her nose. The child’s clothes were clean and her hair neatly combed, but it was obvious that the clothes had just been changed.

Mrs. Dai put the little girl down and gently pushed her, "Yu’er, go see your brother!"

Yu’er looked at Mrs. Dai and then at the people in the room, especially after seeing Chu Xinhuan’s encouraging look, she toddled to the bedside. Looking at Brother Ah-Gui lying on the bed with a pale face and his eyes covered, she softly called out, "Brother..."
