After three days of heavy rain, many peach trees were drenched.

Madam Wei was repairing the broken peach branch with cloth.

“Madam, actually, they can grow out next year.” Ping’er felt that there was no need. The tree would not hurt.

Madam Wei said nothing.

There was a knock on the door from ahead.

After Ping’er went to take a look, she reported, “Madam, it’s Young Master.” Madam Wei paused in her actions.

Guo Huan visited Madam Wei and returned to Matriarch Wei’s courtyard. He chatted with Matriarch Wei for the entire afternoon.

Old Madam Wei sighed. “Don’t you find me annoying?

Guo Huan smiled. “Why would I? I’ve benefited a lot from listening to you.”

Old Madam Wei was amused. “This child… if Xiao Qi is half as sensible as you,

I’ll have the face to see his grandfather and father!”

Guo Huan smiled and said, “Cousin is much more capable than me. He has military achievements at a young age and is the young divine general in the hearts of the commoners.”

Old Madam Wei snorted. “Still young? You’re not young anymore!”

Guo Huan did not mention Wei Ting’s marriage to the Guo family. This was what made him likable. He would never throw out embarrassing or avoidable topics.

No one would feel uncomfortable talking to him.

Dinner was eaten in Old Madam Wei’s courtyard.

Guo Huan sat beside Old Madam Wei, who picked up food for him. He accepted them all, unlike Wei Ting, who was often picky about this and that, making Matriarch Wei feel very unfulfilled.

“Are you full?” Matriarch Wei asked.

Guo Huan hugged his stomach. “I can’t walk anymore.”

Matriarch Wei asked him to take a walk for a while. Only when it was indeed late did she get the servants to send him out of the residence.

At midnight, after Old Madam Wei washed up, she sat at the head of the bed and looked at the gift Guo Huan had brought her from the west city.

It was a military book.

Her husband, Lord Wu An, had used a military book and lost it during the war. She did not expect Guo Huan to find it.

“Young Master Guo is too kind,” Nanny Li said. “It’s not easy to find it after being lost for so many years.”

Matriarch Wei nodded.

Otherwise, why would she dote on him so much?

This child had put in a lot of effort to be filial to everyone in the residence.

As Old Madam Wei touched her husband’s belongings, her heart was racing. “Sigh, it’s a pity that she doesn’t have a granddaughter. Otherwise, the two families could have married.”

At the mention of this, Nanny Li said, “I heard that the Prime Minister’s Estate found another marriage for Young Master Guo. It’s the daughter of the Zheng family.”

Old Madam Wei pondered and said, “How many times has Huan’er proposed marriage?”

Nanny Li said, “The third time.”

Old Madam Wei sighed. “This child is good at everything, but his marriage… is a little bumpy.”

Nanny Li said, “It’s also because those girls are unlucky.” Old Madam Wei sighed. “I hope nothing goes wrong this time.”

“Old Madam! Old Madam! Something happened!” A little maidservant walked over hurriedly.

“Who’s in trouble?” Matriarch Wei asked steadily.

The maidservant said anxiously, “Young Miss… Young Miss is making a fuss!”

In the middle of the night, most of the people in the residence had rested. Only the courtyard of the second branch was brightly lit, accompanied by Wei Xiyue’s cries and screams from time to time.

Madam Li’s head hurt from the commotion. She wished she could beat her up.

“Second Sister-in-law!”

Madam Chu stopped Madam Li in time.

Wei Xiyue flew into a rage in the house and threw things everywhere.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wei Xiyue was a shy and obedient girl. Only those close to her knew that she was very terrifying once she caused trouble.

In serious cases, she would even hurt herself.

“Xi Yue!”

Old Madam Wei leaned on her walking stick and hurriedly entered the house.

“Ah!”

Wei Xiyue screamed and overturned a chair.

Madam Chen quickly gave in.

She couldn’t move and could only scream.

Old Madam Wei had a headache and her heart ached. “Second

Daughter-in-law, what’s wrong?”

Madam Li said with red eyes, “She was fine originally and had already fallen asleep. She probably drank too much water at night and suddenly woke up to go to the toilet. After that, she shouted that she wanted to look for her squirrel. I said that I would bring it over to her tomorrow, but she didn’t agree. So I asked Xiao Ju to carry that little thing over.”

“But she insisted that it wasn’t Xiao Bai… She kicked a fuss… I said a few words to her… and she…

Madam Li felt extremely aggrieved.

Everyone said that she had given birth to the only child of the Wei family and was blessed.

Who could understand that the child she gave birth to after being pregnant for ten months was not a normal child at all?

She was mentally and physically exhausted…

She blamed herself, was angry, and did not know what to do…

“Ah—ah—ah—

Wei Xiyue screamed crazily, unable to listen to anyone’s comfort.

“Where’s that little thing?” Matriarch Wei asked.

Xiao Ju carried the little white ball over in fear.

Old Madam Wei looked around. Wasn’t this the original one?

They were the same size, fat, and pure white.

Matriarch Wei put down her walking stick and walked over to gently cup Wei Xiyue’s cheek. “Xiyue, be good. Grandmother brought Xiao Bai here. Look.” Wei Xiyue reacted and stopped screaming at the top of her lungs.

Old Madam Wei carried the little packrat over and handed it to her. “Here, Xiao

Bai.”

“No! No! No!”

Wei Xiyue screamed again.

Suddenly, Wei Xiyue’s body twitched. Old Madam Wei’s expression changed. “Xi Yue?”

Madam Chen looked down. “Xiyue!”

Madam Li pushed Madam Chen away. “Third Sister-in-law! What did you do to Xiyue? Who asked you to use so much strength!”

Madam Chen said, “I didn’t.”

She really didn’t use much strength. She didn’t know how to control her strength, but when she hugged Wei Xiyue, she strictly restrained her strength.

Madam Jiang said, “Second Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law won’t hurt Xiyue!”

Wei Xiyue began to twitch non-stop, and everyone was frightened.

Madam Li hugged her daughter and cried. “Hurry up and call a doctor! Call a physician!”

“It’s too late!” Matriarch Wei said with a solemn expression. “It’s very dangerous for children to convulse. By the time the physician comes over, Xi

Yue might already be hopeless.”

Madam Li cried uncontrollably. “Then what should we do, Grandmother?

Grandmother, save Xiyue… save Xiyue…” The long night was silent.

The crescent moon disappeared into the clouds.

“Big pig trotters…” Xiaohu muttered in his sleep. He hugged Dahu’s small feet and started eating.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and pulled a child into her arms.

The family slept soundly.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and the door was kicked open!

“What do you want? What do you want?”

Su Cheng jumped up in shock and pulled out the butcher knife under the bed.

Su Xiaoxiao was also woken up and took out the dagger under her pillow.

Wei Ting was not around tonight.

There was actually an expert—

She was about to attack when the other party arrived in front of her bed.

“Miss Su.”

He spoke calmly.

Su Xiaoxiao’s knife paused in midair.

“It’s you?”

The man in white walked forward with the child in his arms. “Miss Su, please save Xiyue.. “
