Xi Ling looked around in the front hall and ran behind Li Hua and Liu Lan who were also on their way to going inside the courtyard further. 

"Big Sister Lan, Big Sister Hua what happened to Mother?" 

Xi Ling ran behind the two maids with his short legs. Hearing his voice, Liu Lan stopped amidst her steps but Li Hua just ran inside.

Seeing that Li Hua had already gone inside, Liu Lan turned and looked at Xi Ling with an assuring and tight smile on her lips.

Pity flashed through her eyes when she saw the panting Xi Ling with a red face.

"Young Master, My Lady is fine. She must have been tired after such a long and eventful banquet and that's why is asleep. Young Master should go and study. When My lady wakes up, this servant will inform you."

"No"

Xi Ling shouted as he looked at Liu Lan with anger-filled eyes.

Liu Lan was startled by his loud voice.

"You're lying to Xi Ling. Mother is not fine. Xi Ling wants to see mother."

Liu Lan was flustered after being caught by the small child but she could also not let Xi Ling go inside. She also knew that Xi Ling was more intelligent and sensible than other children so she chose to tell him the truth.

"Young Master, this servant doesn't know what happened to My Lady. From what this servant can see even His Excellency doesn't know anything about this yet."

Liu Lan said remembering how the servant had told her that Lady Li collapsed at the entrance of the Manor.

"However, the physician must be on his way. We will soon get to know why My Lady is like this at this moment. Please don't lose your calm till then, alright?"

She said very gently to Xi Ling expecting him to obey her words.

Sure enough, the young child didn't disappoint her. Xi Ling's eyes were filled with tears but he refused to let them fall out.

"Mother must be fine."

The young child said firmly and continued ahead

"Xi Ling will not make any trouble but Sister Lan ….Xi Ling just wants to stay outside Mother's room. As soon as the physician announces that Mother is fine and Mother wakes up, Xi Ling will go back to his room."

Hesitation flashed through Liu Lan's eyes as she contemplated whether it was right to bring such a young child to such a place where he would have to hear what happened to his mother…..especially when she doesn't know anything herself yet.   

Xi Ling, of course, noticed Liu Lan's reluctance and hesitation. He knew that only Liu Lan could help him go inside the Courtyard now. Because if he requested to another nanny or servant then he would be sent back to his room forcefully.

Anxious, the young child held Liu Lan's sleeve and two big fat tears rolled down from both of his eyes making Liu Lan panic.

"Young Master…"

The maid called out when she saw Xi Ling crying like this for the first time in her life.             

"Big Sister Lan ….please Xi Ling requests Big Sister Lan….Xi Ling will be a good boy…will not make trouble at all…Xi Ling just wants to stay by mother's side…."

In the end, Liu Lan could not become a stone-hearted person. She held Xi Ling's wrist in her hand and said

"Then Young Master can't leave this servant's side. Only then Young Master is allowed to go inside with this servant."

Liu Lan said firmly and Xi Ling immediately nodded his head. 

"Alright!"

And just like this, the pair of master and servant went inside the Courtyard.

Going further inside the Courtyard, Li Rui's room was just ahead of the front hall and living room.

Inside the room, Xi Ying laid Li Rui on the bed so gently as if his single movement could break her down.

Li Hua who had been following him noticed his movements and looked at him with complex eyes. However, her gaze didn't stay on him very long as she was more worried about her mistress at this moment.

Looking at her unconscious mistress, she didn't know what she should do except wait for the physician. At the same time, she didn't wish to leave the unconscious her mistress alone with this man. 

"Rui"

Xi Ying patted Li Rui's cheek very gently as he covered her body with a blanket.

His eyes were still red as if they could squeeze out the blood at any moment. When the woman lying on the bed didn't even move a little bit, his heart only went more restless.

Her eyes….he wished to see them. He wants her to look at him with those pair of black eyes.

Clank….

Li Hua stepped back in fear as she covered her mouth with both of her hands and looked at the broken and scattered pieces of vase lying on the floor.

She raised her head to look at Xi Ying who was already looking at her with cold and sharp eyes.

"Why is the physician not here yet?"

Li Hua gasped seeing the color of Xi Ying's eyes and her eyes went wide with fear. She looked at Xi Ying as if he was some kind of monster.

At this moment, An Ju appeared inside Li Rui's room with an old man in her arms.

She set down the old man with a white beard on the ground. The old man clutched his head and with his other hand he continued to hold An Ju's arm and said

"This …what kind of bandit behavior is this? … How can you abduct this old man in broad daylight. Girl….this old man has nothing to give you."

An Ju ignored the old man's fearful blabbering.

"Master."

An Ju said to her master

"Is he the physician?"

Xi Ying asked without delaying for a single second. 

"Yes, Master."

The old physician had also turned around to look at Xi Ying when he heard another person's voice. However, he was startled to see pair of red-colored eyes fixed on himself.

"Treat her right now."
