Li Yan pressed his lips together, just about to speak.

Behind him came Gu Tong’s hearty laughter. "To come home and have food waiting the moment I walk in—that’s just too blessed."

Gu Tong was dressed casually, her whole person brimming with joy. She’d kicked off her shoes and walked up to Li Yan, looping one arm around his neck as she said, "Look, Second Madam is really good to us, she got all the dishes ready in advance."

Speak of the devil and the devil appears...

Some things really can’t stand being talked about.

However...

They actually didn’t want this "devil" to come back at all...

Seeing the smile on Gu Tong’s face, Gong Qingwan felt her vision blur. She nearly lost her footing and toppled backward.

Aunt He reacted quickly and caught her. "Madam, Madam, what’s wrong with you..."

What’s wrong?

Do you even need to ask!

Obviously she’s been provoked!

The one who should be back, there’s still no news.

The ones who shouldn’t be back, they’re all showing up one by one.

Gong Qingwan was hit by an enormous shock all at once. The sky and earth were spinning; she felt especially awful.

"I’m dizzy... Hurry and help me back to my room..." Gong Qingwan now urgently needed to call Chu Qinyou to ask what on earth was going on.

Pray nothing accidental had happened that dragged all of them into it, or things would get very messy.

"Yes." Aunt He was particularly obedient. Without another word, she hurried to support Gong Qingwan and help her back to the upstairs bedroom.

From behind, Gu Tong wrapped her arms around Li Yan, her little head stretching forward along his neck. Her fair, tender cheek pressed against his as she laughed. "What’s wrong with Second Madam, is it because she hasn’t eaten so her blood sugar’s low?"

Li Yan affectionately brushed the little woman’s forehead and said evenly, "Who knows."

Gu Tong burst into giggles, then sweetly told Li Yan, "Then you’d better eat well. Don’t end up like Second Madam, overworked to the point your body can’t take it."

The husband and wife sang in perfect harmony, almost infuriating the already dizzy Gong Qingwan to death on the spot.

Gong Qingwan clenched her teeth hard and continued walking forward. However, just then her legs gave out and she completely lost the strength to stand.

Aunt He was so anxious she nearly burst into tears. "M-Madam... what’s happening to you..."

"Madam... Someone, somebody, hurry!" the old steward cried out in a panic.

The Li Family was thrown into chaos. All the servants were rushing around; people came pouring out from front and back. With many hands they lifted Gong Qingwan and carried her back to the master bedroom upstairs.

The old steward was in charge of the outer courtyard. With the divide between men and women, he couldn’t really help physically, but Madam fainting was a major incident. A Doctor had to be called, so he ran to the phone and dialed. "Doctor Liu... yes, yes, this is the Li Family. Madam has fainted, please come take a look right away..."

No need to ask to know that Doctor Liu was Gong Qingwan’s private Doctor. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Usually she came once a month to do the most basic physical check-up.

Gong Qingwan trusted her very much.

At such a critical moment, the first person the old steward thought of was her.

Don’t be fooled that Doctor Liu and Gu Tong are both Doctors—when it comes to safety, they’re worlds apart.

If at a time like this they had Gu Tong treat Madam instead,

the outcome would probably be unthinkably bad.

Thinking of this, the old steward couldn’t help sneaking a glance at Gu Tong, wanting to see how she would react.

Just as he turned his head, Gu Tong pressed one hand to her forehead and collapsed straight into Li Yan’s arms. "Hubby~ My head hurts so bad too~"
