"Forget it, Xia Li, let's cut it and take a look." Lee's waved his hands, urging Xia Li to go quickly.
Seeing how haggard Lee's was, Xia Li couldn't bear to make her sad anymore, so he went to the side room with Sun Chun.
Inside the room, Jin Xi'er was lying on the bed, spouting nonsense without anyone knowing, crying and laughing at times, tossing and turning on the bed, both hands constantly waving, as though he was driving away something.
Xia Li's expression was stern, he took two steps forward and was stopped by Sun Chun: "Be careful, I'll go take a look."
Sun Chun walked to stand in front of Jin Xi'er with firm steps. She waved her hands and sat up while crying: "Don't come over, don't..."
Sun Chun promptly sealed Jin Xi'er's acupoints, allowing her to completely calm down. He supported her and laid back on the bed, turning around to look at Xia Li.
"Come over and take a look at her. I don't look like I'm faking it."
Xia Li shook his head, he did not make any guesses and walked straight towards Jin Xi'er, grabbed her wrist and carefully probed around, then opened her eyelids, and looked at her attentively for a while, before sighing softly.
"She was obviously frightened. Her brain is not clear, and she is spouting nonsense. At the moment, it seems that she also has the symptoms of chills."
"Xia Li, I beg of you, please save my daughter. Last night, after I brought Xi'er back to our room, she lost control of her voice and screamed at me. I comforted her for an entire night and she did not close her eyes. Xia Chunhua, this time, no longer had the energy to be domineering, instead, he pulled on Xia Li's sleeves and pleaded.
"It seems like they really aren't doing bad things. Otherwise, they would have been scared. The gains would not make up for the losses." When Xia Li thought about Jin Xi'er's sneaky actions last night, anger rose in his heart.
"Xi'er was bewitched, you and Young Master Sun are magnanimous people, you definitely won't lower yourself to the same level as her, right?" Originally, he wanted to act out a show with Jin Xi'er and could stay in this courtyard for a period of time. Now that his wish had come true, her daughter had also really been involved in it.
"I'll prescribe some medicine for her. In these few days, let her rest peacefully in bed." Xia Li relented in the end and said.
"Great." Once Xia Chunhua heard that Jin Xi'er was saved, a huge weight in her heart finally dropped to the ground. She also finally understood that in this courtyard, Xia Li could not afford to offend her, so she might as well restrain herself from doing anything.
During these days while Jin Xi'er was resting in bed, Xia Chunhua took care of her without leaving even an inch away. Lee's would change her taste everyday to make Jin Xi'er some delicious food and even gave her some plain clothes and jewelry.
Seeing that Xia Chunhua and his mother had restrained themselves, Xia Li put aside his guard and focused on the business of hospital. Following Xia Li and a few of the servants' diligent management,'s hospital became famous, and even the tens of villages below the town, many of them came all the way here to see the patient. There was a long line of people lined up at the doors of the hospital every day.
Xia Li and the others were extremely busy, their time to drink and drink seemed to be extremely precious. Sun Chun felt that Xia Li had worked hard and accompanied her by her side recently, helping her to take care of the business with hospital.

Jin Xi'er had been laying on the bed for 4 to 5 days, completely recovered. He lazily laid on the bed, frowning as he looked at the soup that Xia Chunhua had brought.
"Mother, this medicine is so bitter, I don't want to drink it, just pour it out!"
"Girl, be good and don't drink it. Only then will you be strong." Xia Chunhua laughed as he coaxed his daughter.
"No, it's so bitter!" Jin Xi'er grabbed the medicine bowl on the table and smashed it onto the ground, he grabbed the blanket and covered his head, pretending to be dead.
"Do you want to eat sour plums? This is your favorite." Xia Chunhua saw that Jin Xi'er's temper was back as he coaxed her.
"I want to eat pig's feet. Mother, get someone to buy them for me." Jin Xi'er revealed a head from under the blanket and said coquettishly.
Coincidentally, Lee's came in with a bowl of sweet soup. He looked at the spilled medicine on the ground and frowned.
Xia Chunhua pretended not to see it, and brought the sweet soup from Lee's's hands over, and placed it on the table.
"Sister-in-law, my daughter doesn't want to eat medicine, so she's just playing around eating pig's feet. Look, can you go out and buy some for her? Make it, okay?"
Seeing that Xia Chunhua was the only survivor of the Xia family, he nodded and said: "This is a small matter, you take care of Xi'er first, I will go and buy pig feet for her to eat."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law." Xia Chunhua said as he sent Lee's on his way and closed the door. He then walked to Jin Xi'er's bedside and held her hand as he said lovingly.
"My good daughter, are you satisfied this time?"
Mother, I'm not satisfied. You should hurry up and clean up the dregs and broken bowls on the floor. Also, what the hell is this aunt sending over? The cloth is all white and the jewelry is also white. I'm not her daughter.
Jin Xi'er said as he got off the bed and threw the cloth on the wardrobe onto the ground. As he stomped on it forcefully, the white pearl flower was also thrown onto the ground and broke into two.
"Silly girl, you have to keep a low profile, understand? If Xia Li sees you like this, he'll kick you out! " Xia Chunhua pinched Jin Xi'er's arm, his eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness, as he warned Jin Xi'er.
"Mom, you're hurting me!" Jin Xi'er cried.
"Then restrain yourself. If you don't have a brain like this, sooner or later something bad will happen. There is a limit to how much I can spoil you." Xia Chunhua pulled Jin Xi'er off the bed and onto the ground. Jin Xi'er's foot accidentally stepped on the ground and was pierced by the broken porcelain pieces.
"Mother, please be more gentle. My leg was cut." This time, Jin Xi'er did not cause any more trouble, and in an instant, he became as listless as an eggplant.
"If you want it, you have to lower your head. If you keep on trying to be brave, it will only make you die faster. Do you understand?" Xia Chunhua taught Jin Xi'er a lesson.
Jin Xi'er touched his bleeding leg and bitterly lowered his head: "Understood."
When Lee's came in with the pig's feet, he immediately saw that Jin Xi'er's legs were wrapped in a thick bandage. Tears were hanging from the corners of his eyes as he squatted in a corner of the wall and hugged his knees with a gloomy expression on his face.
Xia Jinhua squatted on the ground and picked up the broken pieces of porcelain with a displeased look on his face.
"What happened? What happened to Xi'er's leg? " Lee's asked with concern.
"It's fine. She can't see her way. She accidentally stepped on a piece of porcelain and rested for a while." Xia Chunhua said with a sullen face.
"That still hurts, you have to be careful in the future." Seeing that the mother and daughter looked unnatural, he tactfully walked outside: "Piggy feet, I have already sat down and placed them on the table. In a while, let Xi'er have a taste."
Xia Chunhua did not bother with Lee's. Right after Lee's left, the door was slammed shut by her.
Lee's looked at the door behind him as it closed. He felt uncomfortable in his heart for a moment, how could the mother and daughter pair turn hostile faster than flipping a book?
"My daughter, you have to restrain your temper. Only then will Sun Chun look at you twice!" Xia Chunhua continued to entice Jin Xi'er.
"Really?" Jin Xi'er half lifted his eyelids, glanced at Xia Chunhua, and continued to stare at his own injured leg, the thorn in his heart slowly rooted to the ground.
"Of course, Mother did it for your own good. If you continue with your reckless personality of throwing a bowl of curses at someone just now, even a man would be scared away by you."
Xia Chunhua advised.
"I understand, Mother. I will remember this!" A ruthless look flashed past Jin Xi'er's eyes. He propped himself on the bed with both hands and slowly moved to the side of the bed. He placed one foot on the ground, jumped onto the table and sat down.

This Xi'er is really pitiful. After being showered by the rain and having his feet pierced by a porcelain bowl, he stays in the house and doesn't see the sun at all. How about this, Xia Li, you go and chat with Xi'er when you're free, you guys are cousins after all.
Lee's was moved and advised Xia Li.
"Mother, I really can't leave. Right now hospital is overflowing with people every day, this is the right time to do so." Xia Li was naturally unwilling. She would go crazy if she stayed with this girl that loved to act prettily. What she said was also the truth.
"Might as well think of Young Master Sun to accompany Xia Li." Lee's immediately closed his mouth after he finished speaking, he carefully looked at Xia Li, and knew that he had said the wrong thing.
Xia Li endured the displeasure in his heart, and said to Lee's in a serious tone: "Mother, Sun Chun and I are announcing to the outside world our relationship with each other, how can we let the two of them meet alone?"
The Lee's smiled apologetically at Xia Li, leaving Xia Li's room. Xia Li looked at his back, and shook his head helplessly.
"My mother has recently become a little …" Xia Li wanted to say something but hesitated.
"It was your father's death that stimulated her. She is now concerned about your aunt and cousin, and also wants to ease her guilt."
Sun Chun consciously emphasized the word "father" that Xia Li had been avoiding all along. Unsurprisingly, he saw the look of displeasure on Xia Li's face, but as a spectator, he still told her everything that he knew about himself.
"My mother has a soft heart and weak personality. She is willing to show everyone her kind heart, but unfortunately, she still hasn't learned how to refuse. She has always made herself live a very painful life."
As Xia Li said that, he got off the bed, and in the end, directly fell forward. Sun Chun was startled, he immediately went forward to support her.
"What's going on? Didn't my body just recover?" Sun Chun asked worriedly.
"I'm tired. I've been busy for four or five days and haven't had enough sleep." Xia Li said as he fell into Sun Chun's embrace.
Xia Li felt that her entire body was pulled backwards and that her brain was very heavy. The moment Sun Chun held her in his arms, she passed out.
"Xia Li? Xia Li. " Sun Chun called out to her softly a few times, but Xia Li still did not react.
Sun Chun placed Xia Li on the bed and covered her with her blanket. Sun Chun walked over to the hospital and gave a temporary order to Day Bao and the others, instructing them to hang up their hospital and to let the three who were exhausted rest for a day.
When Xia Li woke up, it was already dusk, the moon quietly climbed up into the sky, and the sound of frogs could be heard from all directions. She looked at Sun Chun, who was always by his side, and secretly scratched his nose, but was caught by Sun Chun after just a few movements, pulling her down to his side.
"Stop messing around, have a good rest."
"I've been asleep all day. I want to go for a walk." As Xia Li spoke, he got off the bed, washed up briefly, and changed into a crimson colored dress. With his long hair fixed in place, he went for a walk in the courtyard.
At this time, Jin Xi'er sat on the stone chair, his right leg was wrapped in a thick layer of bandage, revealing half of his fair calves, while his eyes held the handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. Looking at Xia Li and Sun Chun, he propped himself up from the stone table and jumped twice, but his body was unstable as he pounced towards Sun Chun.
