Dongfang Ruyan sighed. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with nostalgia as she said, “Lately, I occasionally dream of Qingxue. I always feel that Qingxue hasn’t left us yet. Cough cough cough…”
As she spoke, Dongfang Ruyan coughed violently.
Beside her, Dongfang Huo heard her cough and immediately put on a nervous expression. He asked her, “Eldest Miss, how do you feel?”
The Nangong Family members also looked at Dongfang Ruyan with concern.
Only Su Qian continued to look at Dongfang Ruyan indifferently.
“Ruyan, are you alright?” Lady Wen asked with concern.
Dongfang Ruyan coughed again and put her hand on her chest. She smiled and said, “I’m fine. My old ailments have been acting up again these past few days.”
Dongfang Huo frowned and said, “Didn’t the family doctor advise you not to be sad and angry? Your body can’t withstand too much emotional fluctuation now. Are you feeling upset because you think of Qingxue again?”
Dongfang Ruyan seemed to be unable to control her emotions at this moment. Her eyes turned red and she choked, “When I see Qianqian, I can’t help but think of her mother.”
“Ruyan, what’s wrong with your body?” Lady Zhou frowned and asked Dongfang Ruyan.
Nangong Lie, Nangong Mufeng, and Lady Wen all looked at Dongfang Ruyan, waiting for her answer.
Su Qian looked at Dongfang Ruyan with an ambiguous smile on her lips.
“Do you still remember that before Qingxue married into the Su family, Ruyan and Qingxue went hunting together and encountered a beast tide?” Dongfang Huo said slowly.
“First Elder, don’t say anymore.” Dongfang Ruyan seemed unwilling to let Dongfang Huo elaborate. At this moment, a smile appeared on her pale face as she looked at Lady Zhou and said, “I’m fine. Don’t worry, Auntie.”
Lady Zhou glared at Dongfang Ruyan unpleased and said, “Look at how pale your face is. Have some tea and rest. First Elder, tell me, what happened to Ruyan?”
Dongfang Huo looked at Dongfang Ruyan helplessly and said, “It’s still because of the injuries Ruyan suffered while saving Qingxue at that time. She injured her heart meridian, leaving her with a hidden ailment. Over the years, whenever Ruyan gets slightly emotional, the pain in her heart meridian flares up, causing poor circulation and unbearable suffering.”
Lady Zhou and Nangong Lie looked at Nangong Mufeng.
They were unaware of this matter.
Nangong Mufeng slowly nodded and said, “Eldest Sister told me about this matter. It was all thanks to Ruyan’s help that Eldest Sister was able to avoid being trampled by the beast tide.”
After saying that, Nangong Mufeng glanced at Su Qian.
As smart as he was, he naturally understood the reason for Dongfang Ruyan’s visit at this time.
As the saying goes, one wouldn’t visit a temple without a reason.
At first, he wondered why Dongfang Ruyan chose this particular moment to appear out of nowhere. She must have come for something.
Now it seemed she had come to seek medical help for Su Qian. She probably didn’t want to explicitly state her intention, so she and Dongfang Huo put on this little act together.
“I’ve had this hidden ailment for many years.” Dongfang Ruyan sighed and said, “It has worsened in recent years, and even our family doctors are helpless. However, life and death have their own fate, and I’ve learned to accept it. If one day I go underground and can meet Qingxue, it would be a kind of liberation..”
