Song and the others were right behind Xia Qianqian, but they didn't dare to say anything, nor did they dare to step forward to help Xia Zhenzhen. Because Xia Qianqian came back with Xia Ruyu!
Xia Ruyu is the law of the Xia family!
"Listen to me, everyone. If anything happens to Xia Yu, I will make sure you are buried with him!" Xia Qianqian stepped forward, took off her cloak, wrapped Xia Yu in her arms, and ran home.
Xia Yu's body was burning hot, and her will was confused. She was afraid that if she was a little later, Xia Yu would die.
No one in the old Xia family dared to stop her. Before facing Xia Qianqian, they had to appease Xia Ruyu first. Xia Ruyu's face was full of anger, and her sharp eyes swept over her relatives one by one.
When Xia Qianqian asked her to go home and seek justice, she didn't believe it. Now, she saw it with her own eyes! Not only did they abuse Xia Yu, they also cursed him to die soon!
"I never thought you would treat Xia Yu like this." Xia Ruyu was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Xia Zhenzhen, who gave you the courage to curse Xia Yu?"
Xia Zhenzhen ran to hide behind Song in fear. Song said awkwardly: "Sister, don't take what a child says seriously..."
"Shut up, sister-in-law! Without your vicious mother's instigation, would Zhenzhen dare to do this?" Xia Ruyu finally set her eyes on Grandma Xia, angry and sad, "Mom, he is your eldest grandson!"
Grandma Xia lowered her head in shame.
"You guys disappoint me so much." Xia Ruyu turned around and chased Xia Qianqian.
The Xia family looked at each other, and Xia Dinghai whispered, "Why is Ruyu back?"
"That's right, and he came back with Xia Qianqian." Song said.
Xia Dingfeng and his wife kept silent, pretending to be the boss. Anyway, Xia Yu was adopted by the second wife, so the second wife should be responsible for any problems.
… …
Xia Qianqian ran all the way with Xia Yu in her arms, returning home as fast as she could. Qin had already lit the charcoal basin to warm the house. Li Sui had set up the medicine box, and began to feel Xia Yu's pulse as soon as he arrived.
Xia Yu was so thin that he looked unrecognizable. His face was flushed red, but his lips were pale.
The whole family watched nervously. Xia Ruyu came later and asked nervously, "Doctor, how is my nephew?"
"Fortunately we arrived in time. If we had delayed it for half a day longer, even the immortals would not have been able to save him." Li took out two homemade pills from the medicine box, dissolved them in water, and fed them to Xia Yu little by little.
Xia Yu was drowsy and had difficulty swallowing. He drank half a spoonful and missed the other half. Qin clutched her chest, her heart breaking: "Doctor Li, is there still a cure for Yu'er?"
"Wait, everything will be fine if the fever goes down." After feeding the medicine, Li Sui started to insert silver needles.
Xia Ruyu watched the long silver needles piercing into Xia Yu's flesh one by one, turned her back sadly, and wiped away her tears quietly.
"Aunt, I can't let Xia Yu stay in the old Xia family anymore." Xia Qianqian said with red eyes.
To return to Yangliu Village from Lu'an Prefecture, Xia Qianqian had to pass through Pan County, so she took Xia Ruyu with her, hoping to take him out of the old Xia family by taking advantage of Xia Yu's illness. Xia Ruyu really loved Xia Yu, and when she heard that he was seriously ill, she immediately got on the carriage, without changing clothes or bringing servants, and followed him here, catching the old Xia family off guard.
Fortunately, they arrived in time. If they had arrived half a day later... Xia Ruyu shuddered, not daring to think further: "You took me home with you because you wanted me to do justice, right?"
"Yes." Xia Qianqian nodded, "Time is tight, and I'm sorry that my aunt has to bear the brunt of the trouble."
