I insist

Chapter 388: Sudden Illness

Just as the two were playfully fighting, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.

Yu Huailin looked out the door. It was already late at night. Who could it be at this hour?

With a sense of doubt, Yu Huailin opened the door and was surprised to find that the person who came in was a secret guard.

All that could be heard was the guard saying, "Master, the old eunuch has arrived. Should we see him or not?"

Yu Huailin sneered. Sure enough, Liuli put on such a good show at noon today. He didn't expect the old eunuch to be unable to stand it tonight.

"Let him in."

Yu Huailin wanted to see what kind of trouble the two of them would cause this time.

While the guards went to inform the old eunuch, Yu Huailin came to Song Miqiu and gently stroked her hair.

"You go back first, I'll go talk to him. Don't let him know you were involved; that will be good for us."

Song Miqiu's natural way of thinking is biased towards Huailin.

"You should be more careful."

After saying this, Song Miqiu left the study under the cover of night.

The old eunuch was naturally unaware of the whole process, but he underestimated Yu Huailin's sincere feelings for Song Miqiu.

When the old eunuch entered, Song Miqiu was nowhere to be seen.

The perceptive old eunuch smelled a woman's fragrance in the study and tentatively asked a question.

"You have quite the refined taste, don't you?"

Yu Huailin smiled, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"When you're bored, you always need to kill time, right?"

Yu Huailin didn't want to waste time talking to the old eunuch, so he asked him directly.

"What brings you here today?"

Seeing Yu Huailin's anxious appearance, the old eunuch did not beat around the bush.

"I just wanted to ask about the progress of things. I'm worried about you handling all this on your own."

After all, recruiting soldiers is a big deal.

At this moment, the old eunuch was no longer as wary as before.

"The princes in the palace are all eyeing us covetously; you must act quickly."

Yu Huailin nodded, "Of course I know."

After exchanging only a few words, the old eunuch made an excuse to leave.

"I cannot stay away from the palace for too long, so I will leave now."

After seeing the old eunuch off, Yu Huailin summoned his secret guards.

"Get to work on the tasks assigned to you."

The guards naturally heard the old eunuch's words.

"Yes!"

That night, Song Miqiu also didn't sleep a wink; she tossed and turned, thinking about many things.

She always felt that Liuli was definitely plotting something, and she knew that Liuli was not the type to let things go so easily.

After much thought, I realized I had no choice but to be more cautious and pay closer attention to the people around me.

The son, Qiu Tianlei, was very weak after being released from prison.

Seeing Qiu Tianlei lying on the bed, Song Miqiu felt heartbroken.

His body was covered in marks from interrogation and torture, with bloodstains visible everywhere.

Song Miqiu angrily punched the door panel, "These people clearly told us to go easy on them, they are simply inhuman."

Qiu Tianlei felt very guilty seeing his mother like this, after all, he was the one who caused this.

"Mom, I'm much better now, really, look."

Song Miqiu glanced at it and couldn't help but leave the room.

Seeing this, Tian Yumei came out. Now that her third son was growing up, she felt at ease entrusting him to the maids to take care of. Tian Yumei relaxed a lot.

"Mom, now our whole family is together, and we've made it through."

Tian Yumei kept driving to Song Miqiu, and gradually Song Miqiu also came to terms with it.

"Let Qiu Tianlei rest and recuperate these few days."

Tian Yumei was also very happy, "That's right, Mother, I'll go brew the medicine and cook now."

Watching Tian Yumei's departing figure, Song Miqiu felt fortunate to have such a daughter-in-law.

Qiu Tianlei's forehead injury has just started to improve in the past two days, and he looks like he'll be able to walk again soon.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son caught a cold and fell seriously ill.

Song Miqiu was unaware of this until her maid summoned her.

Only after being questioned did the maid reveal the truth.

"The young master fell ill a few days ago, but we didn't tell you because we were afraid you would worry. Who knew it would get so serious today?"

Song Miqiu did not blame the maid; she only regretted not being more careful herself.

He then took the medicine box and went to his eldest son's study.

Looking at Qiu Tianlei lying on the bed covered in sweat, Song Miqiu felt so sorry for him that she couldn't speak.

Quickly check his pulse; thankfully, the maid's report was timely and his condition hadn't worsened.

In ancient times, a cold that wasn't treated promptly was as terrible as cancer, although people in modern times don't take it seriously anymore.

Song Miqiu dismissed the maid and took out the medicine from the system.

Upon seeing the maid enter, he immediately handed her the medicine packet.

"Quickly go and brew the medicine for Tianlei. Remember, this medicine must be taken after meals, three times a day."

The maid had never heard of taking medicine before or after meals before, but since her master was a miracle doctor, she had no choice but to comply.

"Ok."

At this moment, Tian Yumei walked in carrying a basin of cold water.

Song Miqiu had naturally heard from the maid that Tian Yumei had been keeping vigil by Qiu Tianlei's bedside all night since she learned that he had a fever.

How could Tian Yumei's body, which had just given birth, possibly withstand this?

Song Miqiu felt sorry for her and took the towel from her hand.

"Mother has already asked the maid to brew the medicine. There's no need to do any more; you'll feel better after drinking the medicine."

But how could Tian Yumei feel at ease if she didn't do these things?

"Tianlei's body is burning hot, Mother. Only this way can he feel more comfortable."

No matter how Song Miqiu tried to persuade Tian Yumei, she wouldn't listen, so in the end, he had no choice but to give up.

The maidservant also brought in the medicine after it was brewed.

Song Miqiu took it and said to Tian Yumei, "Could you help me get Qiu Tianlei to eat something first? He can only take the medicine effectively after he eats."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yumei immediately picked up the porridge on the table and fed Qiu Tianlei spoonful by spoonful.

Only then did Song Miqiu give Qiu Tianlei the medicine.

Now that the medicine has been taken, all that's left is for Qiu Tianlei to get a good night's sleep.

Fearing the medicine wouldn't be effective enough, Song Miqiu specifically instructed her maid, "Go to the official's place and ask for a thick quilt to cover him up."

The maidservant immediately did as she was told.

After the quilt was brought over, Song Miqiu personally covered Qiu Tianlei with it.

After arranging all this, all that's left is for Qiu Tianlei to get a good night's sleep.

Song Miqiu wanted to call Tian Yumei to rest as well, since Qiu Tianlei didn't need anyone to watch over him.

"Yu Mei, let's go. Let him get a good night's sleep."

Tian Yumei, a person from ancient times, was afraid that Qiu Tianlei might be alone at night and something might happen to him.

"Mother, I'll be leaving soon. You should go to sleep first."

Song Miqiu sighed, "Yumei, listen to your mother, the thunder will be better tomorrow."

Tian Yumei turned around and smiled slightly at Song Miqiu.

“Mother, I won’t feel at ease if I’m not here to watch over you, so please don’t worry about me.”

Since Tian Yumei had said so, Song Miqiu had no choice but to leave.

"That's fine, I'll just take a nap tonight if I can't stay awake."

After giving his instructions, Song Miqiu left.

The next day at daybreak, Song Miqiu rushed to the room to check if Qiu Tianlei's condition had improved.

Upon entering the room, I saw Tian Yumei lying asleep on the edge of the bed, exhausted.

Song Miqiu quietly went inside and opened the window to let some fresh air into the room.
