Tang s.h.i.+jun threw herself into Gu Qingluans arms, clinging to her and sobbing uncontrollably.

Inside and outside the Hundred Herb Hall, countless curious eyes turned to them.

In the distance, Feng Tianlan stared at them with a dark expression, a cold aura emanating from him in waves.

Jing Feng discreetly moved to the side.

His masters jealousy seemed a bit too intense!

Hes even getting jealous of a lady now!

He silently prayed that Miss Gu would push the girl away quickly, or else he worried his master would impulsively rush over and tear them apart, ignoring the plan.

Perhaps Jing Fengs prayers were effective because he soon saw Gu Qingluan push Tang s.h.i.+jun away from her embrace.

Feng Tianlan, standing nearby, visibly lightened up.

The chilly air that had been present also receded.

Jing Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

At the entrance of the Hundred Herb Hall, Gu Qingluan wiped away Tang s.h.i.+juns tears while asking, What happened? Why are you crying like this?

Every time she had encountered this young girl in the past, the girl had always been cheerful and happy. However, this was the first time she had seen her crying so intensely and without restraint.

Qingluan, can you can you save my elder sister? She shes dying!

Gu Qingluan realized that they were blocking the way for others, so she took Tang s.h.i.+jun to a nearby teahouse and had her sit down before listening to her.

Tang s.h.i.+jun choked back her tears as she told Gu Qingluan that her elder sister, Tang s.h.i.+qi, had married Hanlin Academician Li Yuhang against their parents wishes three years ago, which had caused their parents displeasure. After the marriage, Tang s.h.i.+qi seldom returned to her family.

Li Yuhang had wanted to mend relations with the Tang family, but every time he visited, he received cold treatment. However, he never got angry and instead showed great affection towards Tang s.h.i.+qi.

The members of the Tang family, seeing this, had actually started to accept him in their hearts. They were just testing him by continuing to act cold towards him.

Recently, Li Yuhang had stopped visiting altogether, and they had a.s.sumed he had grown cold. Concerned, the head of the Tang family and his wife had sent people to visit Tang s.h.i.+qi at Lis residence.

However, after several visits, they had not been able to see her.

The head of the Tang family had sensed that something was amiss, and today, they forcefully entered Lis residence, only to find that Tang s.h.i.+qi was on the verge of death.

Didnt you call for a physician?

I did, but the physician shook their head and said there was no hope! My elder sister is only twenty-three this year. How could this happen? Dont be fooled by her delicate appearance; she has always been in good health. But the physicians cant find any reason. 1 thought of seeking Mr. Liu Meng from your family. Mr. Liu Meng said to ask you, so I came to find you. Just now, someone said you pa.s.sed by a tea stall, so 1 followed that lead. Qingluan, can you save my elder sister?

Tang s.h.i.+jun tightly gripped Gu Qingluans arm.

Gu Qingluan frowned.

She was currently being watched by Yin Qing

However, looking at Tang s.h.i.+jun, who was crying with red eyes, she couldnt bring herself to refuse.

If Yin Qing decided to take action, he would likely consider the circ.u.mstances.

Originally, she had planned to lead the girl to a secluded place and lure her adversary into revealing themselves.

Now it seemed she would have to delay that plan.

Gu Qingluan sent a message to Feng Tianlan via the communication jade, explaining her situation and intentions.

Feng Tianlan rea.s.sured her and told her to go save the person.

For some reason, hearing those words from him made Gu Qingluan feel much more at ease.

She asked, Where is your elder sister now?

At Lis residence. My sister is very ill, and my father doesnt dare to move her easily, fearing that any mishap might occur. Tang s.h.i.+jun sobbed, tears welling up in her eyes.

Dont cry. Ill go with you now.

Dont dont we need to ask Mr. Liu Meng to come along? Tang s.h.i.+jun found it strange.

No need. Ill go alone, Gu Qingluan said with a light smile as she stood up. Lets go; your elder sister is waiting..
