“If you sense Huo Jiuxiao’s interference, you must tell me immediately.” Yun Shujing emphasized, “I won’t let him have it easy either.”

However, what was the use? Yun Shujing didn’t realize that everything that had happened was just a chain reaction of human nature. There were many things that Huo Jiuxiao didn’t even need to do personally. He only needed to know where the weakness of human nature was and instigate it. Wouldn’t these people rush to an all-round internal strife?

“Don’t worry, Madam. Even if you don’t tell me, I will keep an eye out for Second Young Master. But you don’t look too good. Please take care and remember to rest.’

Yun Shujing waved her hand. If Huo Weichen’s hidden danger was not removed, she would not be able to eat at all. Fortunately, Huo Qingxiao was about to bring everyone in the family to Deer Pavilion, so she could hide it for the time being. However, she was not sure how long she could hide it.

“Let’s settle this as soon as possible. I’m sure I don’t want this son anymore. I just hope he won’t blame me for being cruel.”

However, with Huo Weichen’s personality, how could he not blame her?

At the same time, Elder Hua was taking a walk with the noble person in the Deer Pavilion’s courtyard. At this moment, the limestone road in the courtyard was filled with falling maple leaves. The two old men walked slowly on the steps and continued to chat about Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli.

“The Lin girl called me this morning. She probably heard about your daughter, so she wanted to ask if it’s convenient for her to come over to see Huiwen in advance.”

“So many experts and professors have seen her. It’s useless.” The noble person waved his hand, which could be considered a disguised rejection.

“That little girl doesn’t ask for anything. She doesn’t even want the people in your residence to know her identity. She just wants to see Huiwen. If she can help, that would be even better. That child is warm-hearted and likes to meddle in other people’s business.”

Since Elder Hua had already spoken like that, the noble person could not find a reason to refuse.

He didn’t think that Lin Wanli would be of any use. Otherwise, all the visits by the professors and experts he had invited over would have been in vain. However, it was precisely because there was nothing they could do that they would have unrealistic fantasies about people or things that they had never tried before. After all, the hearts of parents were pitiful…

“Is Jiuxiao planning on coming along?”

“He should be coming together with her. Anyway, Eldest Young Master is in the

Huo family now and he’s idling around every day.”

It seemed that the noble person was not very satisfied with Huo Jiuxiao.

However, Elder Hua wasn’t worried. How could the person that Lin girl had taken a fancy to be an ordinary person?

Just like that, the noble called Huo Qingxiao’s phone and told him not to alert Huo Shengyuan and his wife. He told them to send Lin Wanli and her husband to the Deer Pavilion first.

Although Huo Qingxiao didn’t know about the arrangements of the noble person, since the other party wanted the couple to come over first, he had to make arrangements immediately.

Therefore, he found an excuse to say that an old man in Lu Ziyun’s maiden family was seriously ill and asked Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli to go and visit him. Moreover, the butler was on Master Xiao’s side, so Yun Shujing did not suspect Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli’s trip.

The two of them packed their simple luggage and were sent straight to the Deer Pavilion. When they arrived at the solemn Chinese-style courtyard, it was already afternoon. The noble person deliberately did not come out to welcome the two juniors. Instead, he asked the butler to arrange for the two of them to stay in the guest rooms in the courtyard. Xu Huiwen, whom Lin Wanli wanted to see, was in the room next to theirs.

At this point, almost no one in the Deer Pavilion knew that two guests had arrived at their residence. As for Lin Wanli and Huo Jiuxiao, they weren’t unhappy with the Xu family’s neglect.

[Hubby, this is indeed the Deer Pavilion. It’s surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the air is fresh. I really like the environment here.]

The two of them had a simple meal and walked around outside the house for a while. Outside the door was a square corridor, and in the middle of the corridor was a huge pond. There was nothing planted, but it looked clean and quiet.

Huo Jiuxiao put his arm around Lin Wanli’s shoulder. He couldn’t help but whisper into her ear, “My little sweet wife, I’m going to bask in your glory. My reputation isn’t too good with the noble person.”

Lin Wanli burst out laughing.

[What did you hear?]

Huo Jiuxiao smiled but didn’t say anything. At this moment, a helper in uniform walked over and stopped in front of the two of them. “Please follow me to see Miss.”

“You go alone.” Huo Jiuxiao patted Lin Wanli’s shoulder.

After all, it was inconvenient for a man to be present.

Lin Wanli understood what he meant. She nodded and thought to herself.

[I’ll be back soon.]

Lin Wanli followed behind the helper. Not far ahead was Xu Huiwen’s room.

Other people’s rooms were all well-aired and had the best lighting. However, Xu Huiwen’s room was surrounded by curtains and many safety measures were installed around it. They were probably afraid that she would commit suicide.

The two of them quietly entered Xu Huiwen’s room, but the room was completely dark. Only the light from the door made the person hiding in the corner move her head uncomfortably.

“The child is only a hundred days old. He’s being taken care of by the nanny now, so he’s still healthy. However, the young lady cannot hear the child’s cries and she would even hear hallucinations. As long as there is movement, she would be agitated and very guarded. Because of her persecutory paranoia, she rarely sleeps. When she’s really too tired, she’ll collapse and take a nap, but she’ll be woken up easily.” The helper said to Lin Wanli, “She has seen many specialists, but none of the methods worked.”

Listening to the helper’s description of Xu Huiwen, Lin Wanli roughly imagined the environment she would be in after giving birth, as well as the way her husband and in-laws would treat her. The child’s incessant crying and the husband and mother-in-law’s endless torture and complaints were the reasons why Xu Huiwen was reacting so strongly to such a situation.

“Does she still recognize the baby?”

“Yes, but the baby can’t cry.”

Lin Wanli nodded and asked, “Can I talk to her?”

The helper hesitated for a moment before agreeing in the end. However, she warned her that Xu Huiwen was at risk of hurting someone.

Lin Wanli did not hesitate and walked towards Xu Huiwen. She squatted down in front of her and sat on her left.

Seeing Xu Huiwen nervously shift her position, she did not press her. Instead, she relaxed her legs and asked softly, “I gave birth naturally. What about you?” Xu Huiwen didn’t move. It was unknown if she was listening to Lin Wanli.

Lin Wanli didn’t care. She continued, “Actually, I wanted to have a C-section. But the doctor said that I have good conditions for natural birth. He told me to give it a try. At that time, I really believed the doctor’s nonsense. In the end, my uterus was in pain for ten hours and I still didn’t undergo C-section. At that time, I was really helpless because I didn’t know that the child’s father was around. I thought that I was a single mother. Now that I think about it, I really feel wronged.”

“My baby is almost two years old now. I haven’t seen her for a long time.”

“Baby?” Xu Huiwen finally responded.. “Where is my baby?”
