The next day, early in the morning.

"Uncle, it's time... ah, uncle, are you... awake?"

Qiu Wen came to ask Zhu Xiuyuan to get up as usual, but this time Zhu Xiuyuan did not stand up. As soon as Qiu Wen opened her mouth and said the word "should", Zhu Xiuyuan lifted the quilt and climbed up.

Qiu Wen was surprised, my uncle is so...so self-conscious today!

"Hurry up and change your clothes. After washing up, we have to check on my wife's condition."

Zhu Xiuyuan rubbed his face hard to wake himself up, and then opened his arms so that Qiu Wen could help him change clothes.

Soon, Zhu Xiuyuan finished tidying up and opened the door directly to the East Pavilion, which was Dong Shuzhen's boudoir.

The little maid Qiu Wen followed behind with small steps.

Zhu Xiuyuan lives in the west pavilion, and Dong Shuzhen's boudoir is in the east pavilion. There is a small living room between the east and west pavilions.

When passing by the small living room, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly turned his head and glanced outside through the open door——

It's still raining!

The sky was gloomy and it was raining continuously.

But looking at it like this, it seems like the rain will turn into a downpour at any time.

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned, the recent weather conditions were getting worse and worse.

But he didn't have time to worry about the weather now, as his wife's condition was more important.

He walked to the East Pavilion door in a few steps and knocked on the door first.

Squeak!

Xia Wu opened the door from inside.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a closer look at Xia Wu's expression and found that there seemed to be a hint of worry between her eyebrows...

Zhu Xiuyuan's heart sank, and he didn't care to speak at the moment. He walked past Xia Wu and walked directly into the room. He opened the brocade curtain of the bed and looked at his wife.

"Husband...ahem..."

Dong Shuzhen lay quietly on the couch, half-closing her eyes. Compared to yesterday, her eyes seemed even duller.

This "husband" call was so breathless and weak that it seemed like it was taking a lot of effort...

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned fiercely.

Just by feeling, he knew something was wrong. This scene didn't look like recovery... Moreover, why... was he still coughing?!

Zhu Xiuyuan rubbed the back of his hand, and after it was no longer cold, he put it on Dong Shuzhen's forehead... Hiss, it's so hot!

Dong Shuzhen's cold syndrome has not improved, and now she has a fever again!

Getting sicker!

Zhu Xiuyuan was in a trance. Somehow, he thought of the weather he saw just now, which was gloomy and depressing...

His mood seemed to be filled with dark clouds. The dark clouds were overwhelming and felt extremely heavy for a moment!

Seeing how the originally lively lady turned into this, Zhu Xiuyuan felt anxious in his heart, fearing that something unknown would happen.

Zhu Xiuyuan rolled his eyes and eliminated all the random thoughts in his mind one by one like a sharp knife cutting through the mess.

The urgent matter now is to quickly find a skilled doctor to cure my wife's illness as soon as possible!

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at Xia Wu again, his eyes sharp. He remembered that when he left last night, he had asked Xia Wu to take good care of Dong Shuzhen and report him immediately if there was any problem. But such a big thing as her wife's fever...

Hey, forget it, now is not the time to think about this.

Zhu Xiuyuan restrained the sharpness in his eyes, only glanced at Xia Wu lightly, and said: "The quack doctor before was not good at medical skills, so there is no need for him to continue to mislead people. Xia Wu, go and invite the best doctor in the city. If

If necessary, you can tie them up! Get the person here first!"

"Yes, uncle!"

Just now, Xia Wu was stared at by Zhu Xiuyuan's "scrutinizing" eyes, and she lowered her head in shame... Seeing that her uncle didn't say anything in the end, but ordered her to ask for a doctor... Xia Wu felt a feeling of "paying for her sins" in her heart

thoughts.

So she quickly agreed and immediately trotted out the door...

Seeing Xia Wu's back disappearing outside the door, Zhu Xiuyuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, his eyes fell on Qiu Wen again, and he casually ordered: "Qiu Wen, go to the back hall of the west courtyard and inform your father-in-law about my wife's condition.

Seriously, I want to stay at home and take care of my wife personally, and I won’t go to the government office these days."

"Yes, uncle!"

The little maid Qiu Wen was so taken by Zhu Xiuyuan's momentum that she didn't dare to resist. She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and trotted out of the door.

"etc!"

Qiu Wen stopped suddenly when she heard this, turned around, and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan blankly.

"Remember to bring breakfast for me and my wife!"

"Yes, uncle!"

The two little maids were sent out, leaving only Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen in the East Pavilion.

Zhu Xiuyuan moved a stool and leaned over to sit in front of Dong Shuzhen's bed. After sitting down, he raised his eyes and looked at his wife.

I saw that Dong Shuzhen had become a lot more haggard, and her originally tender and smooth face also turned pale, looking a little pale.

The agility and fun in her eyes completely disappeared. From the way she looked at Zhu Xiuyuan, Zhu Xiuyuan saw a hint of fatigue and discomfort.

There is only one way to deal with the disease, and that is to "fight!"

It requires perseverance and endurance!

"Why!"

Looking at his wife's unfocused eyes, Zhu Xiuyuan could only sigh.

He knew that his wife was fighting a serious illness and it was very uncomfortable!

While sighing, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a strand of naughty hair popping out of Dong Shuzhen's temples, clinging to her pale cheeks, making her temples look a little messy.

Zhu Xiuyuan gently smoothed the messy hair along the curve of her cheek with his hand.

This action seemed very intimate.

When Zhu Xiuyuan's hand completed its "mission" and was about to be withdrawn, Dong Shuzhen's eyes lit up with a look of joy, she tilted her head slightly and rubbed her cheek against the back of Zhu Xiuyuan's hand.

Zhu Xiuyuan's heart moved, and the hand somehow stayed there. He did not rush to withdraw it, but gently held half of Dong Shuzhen's face with his palm...

"Husband, don't blame Wu'er. Ahem, it's actually me who didn't let Wu'er tell husband. Ahem..."

"Okay, I don't blame her."

Zhu Xiuyuan's thumb gently scratched Dong Shuzhen's cheek, and then withdrew his hand.

Dong Shuzhen stared at Zhu Xiuyuan steadily, her half-closed eyes seemed to be filled with mist.

"Madam, you should sleep for a while first. You are getting sicker and sicker now. You need to take a good rest. I won't go anywhere in the past two days. I will stay with you at home to prevent you from kicking under the quilt and catching cold again."

"I...ahem...there is no such thing!"

"Go to sleep. I'll wake you up later after Qiu Wen arrives early."

"But I...ahem...don't want to sleep!"

"obedient!"

"No, I have been sleeping for so long...ahem...although I am very tired, I can't sleep..."

Dong Shuzhen puffed out her cheeks and looked disobedient.

"Husband... why don't you continue telling the story... ahem..."

"Why!"

Zhu Xiuyuan sighed and said in a consultative tone: "It's okay to tell stories, but madam, you have to promise me that if you want to sleep, you will go to sleep immediately. Also, you must drink all the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Don't be afraid of hardship. Wait

When you are better, I can take you out to play."

"Okay, I promise...ahem." She tilted her head slightly, staring at Zhu Xiuyuan, with a forced smile in the corners of her eyes.

However, when Zhu Xiuyuan set up his position and was about to tell a story, Dong Shuzhen's hand shook in the quilt, which caught Zhu Xiuyuan's attention, and at the same time he softly shouted: "Husband..."

Zhu Xiuyuan reluctantly reached into the quilt and held Dong Shuzhen's little hand...

But now, unlike yesterday, Dong Shuzhen no longer had much strength to hold his hand, but Zhu Xiuyuan held it in his hand, softly and without any strength.

Zhu Xiuyuan forced a smile and began to tell the exciting story...

Not long after, Dong Shuyu and Qiu Wen came over together.

As soon as Dong Shuyu heard that his little sister's condition was getting worse, she was startled at the dining table. After eating something in a hurry, she followed Qiu Wen over.

His father-in-law, Dong Cheng, was very calm. He learned about Zhu Xiuyuan's arrangements, including "asking for leave" and instructing Xia Wu to find the best doctor in the city. Dong Cheng was quite satisfied and agreed to Zhu Xiuyuan's "asking for leave."
