1783 Dilemma
Nan Yifan felt a sharp pain in his heart from her gaze. I don’t want this either! My children are crippled and disabled. How could I not feel sorry for them and not want to avenge them?! However… my opponent is Rong Xiu!
If we were in the right, I could still take a gamble. But the truth is that most of the blame is on ourselves!
If Yiyi hadn’t thought of snatching Rong Xiu from Shangguan Yue back then…
If Yuxing hadn’t provoked the other party several times in the God-Killing Tumulus…
If they immediately stopped when they sensed that something was wrong and distanced themselves from Rong Xiu and the others… Things would never have come to this! But now, it is too late.
!!The air in the room seemed to freeze.
Nan Yiyi turned her head away and closed her eyes in despair. Obviously, she was no longer willing to continue talking to her father.
This resistance made Nan Yifan feel very uncomfortable. He originally wanted to comfort her, but he didn’t expect that in the end… they would still part on bad terms.
Nan Yifan knew that it was useless to say anything else. After looking at his daughter for a while, he stood up.
He pulled the blanket closer and wanted to cover Nan Yiyi up, but she snatched it away. Her movements were crisp and filled with resistance.
Nan Yifan’s hand hung awkwardly in midair.
He glanced at Nan Yiyi and sighed in his heart. Then, his fingers curled up. “I’ll get someone to send another bowl of soup over. If you don’t like these servants, I’ll replace them. Don’t do this again in the future.”
With that, he turned and left.
At the door, Nan Yifan paused.
He put a hand on the door. Without turning around, he said, “I know you don’t care about the Sky-Cloud Empire, but Rong Xiu is indeed someone you can’t provoke. There are some things… you’ll understand in the future.”
With that, he pushed open the door and left.
After a while, Nan Yiyi opened her eyes.
The silence in the room was almost nerve-racking.
She looked back at the front door, frowning tightly. I have never seen Father so afraid of anyone. Could it be that Rong Xiu still has some secrets? But isn’t he just the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace…
Nan Yiyi was silent for a long time as a hint of struggle flashed across her eyes. In the end, she took out a green jade whistle.
She put the jade whistle to her lips and blew hard!
An extremely subtle sharp cry sounded, but it disappeared very quickly! Almost nobody heard it except herself.
Even Nan Yifan, who had just left, didn’t notice.
Nan Yifan put away the jade whistle and folded her hands in front of her. She then closed her eyes as if waiting for something.
About 15 minutes later, someone came to deliver the medicine.
Knock, knock.
“Second Missy, your medicine is ready. I—”
“I’ll do it.” A low man’s voice interrupted the pageboy, and the man took the medicine.
The pageboy was nervous and was immediately delighted to see the person. “Greetings, Elder Luo Yan! Then, this medicine—”
“I’ll naturally urge Yiyi to drink it. You can leave first.”
“Aye! Yes! Yes!” Luo Yan had a high status, so the servant naturally didn’t dare to disobey his words.
Originally, he did not want to come. Everyone knew that most of the people who had come to serve the second missy had met with trouble recently. Now that he had someone to help him, it was naturally for the best.
After the pageboy bowed, he left in a hurry.
Luo Yan pushed the door open and entered.
When Nan Yiyi saw him, a look of grievance appeared on her face, and tears fell again.
Luo Yan’s heart ached when he saw her like this. “Yiyi, why are you still so haggard? Is the effect of this medicine not good?”
Because he was worried that it would arouse suspicion about her health, he had only come here to visit Nan Yiyi once.
This was the second time.
I originally thought that Nan Yiyi’s body should be much better, but I didn’t expect that after such a long time, there is still no improvement.
Nan Yiyi shook her head.
Luo Yan’s frown deepened. He walked over and carefully sized up Nan Yiyi. Actually, Nan Yiyi’s injuries in the God-Killing Tumulus weren’t fatal. Logically speaking, as long as she came back and adjusted well, she should be able to recover. But after dragging it out for so long…
Luo Yan looked at her swollen eyes and immediately understood something. It is probably… a mental illness that can’t be cured.
Nan Yiyi used to be very lively. Now that she couldn’t speak, it was normal for her to be unable to let go for a long time.
He delivered the medicine. “No matter what, taking care of your body is the most important thing.”
Nan Yiyi nodded obediently and took the medicine.
The medicine was bitter, but her heart was even more bitter.
Luo Yan’s heart ached even more when he saw her obedient and silent appearance. “Yiyi, do you have anything to say by asking me to come over, or…”
He had specially left the jade whistle for Nan Yiyi. As long as Nan Yiyi blew it, he could immediately sense it, and nobody else could hear it.
In the month since she returned, this was the first time Nan Yiyi had blown the whistle.
Nan Yiyi nodded. She took out a pen and paper and wrote a few lines before handing it to Luo Yan.
Luo Yan took the piece of paper and read it carefully. Then, he revealed a shocked expression and frowned at Nan Yiyi. “Yiyi, you… No, I can’t agree!”
As he spoke, Luo Yan stood up and planned to leave. “You have to recuperate here during this period of time. You can’t go anywhere!”
Nan Yiyi tugged at his sleeve and let out a whimper, her eyes filled with pleading.
Luo Yan stopped in his tracks. He turned around and gazed into Nan Yiyi’s tear-filled eyes.
In the past, she had often asked him for help like this.
Every time he saw these eyes that were very similar to her mother’s, his heart would soften. Even if she occasionally made a mistake, as long as she showed such an expression, he couldn’t bear to blame her.
But this time…
Luo Yan sighed. “Yiyi, that definitely won’t do. Your injuries haven’t fully recovered. I can’t agree to these things.”
Nan Yiyi slowly let go and suddenly smiled.
Desolation and despair.
Luo Yan’s heart seemed to have been smashed by something. After a long pause, he finally said, “Okay, I’ll agree to it.”
Nan Yiyi immediately looked up at him in surprise. In a moment of excitement, she pounced over and hugged Luo Yan’s neck.
She knew that at this time, the only person she could rely on was Uncle Luo Yan!
Luo Yan’s hand froze, but he quickly returned to normal and patted her back gently. “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you well.”
…
Nan Yifan naturally didn’t know the situation here.
After leaving Nan Yiyi’s place, he originally wanted to return to the study to calm down. But halfway there, he still turned around and went to Nan Yuxing’s place.
The place where Nan Yuxing lived was one of the most respected courtyards in the entire Nan family.
In the past, this place had always been bustling with people. But now, the entire journey was deserted.
Apart from the guards in charge, there was almost nobody else there. Of course, this was because Nan Yifan had specially ordered that nobody was allowed to approach this place easily and disturb Nan Yuxing’s rest.
He walked to the door of the courtyard.
The two guards immediately bowed. “Greetings, Clan Leader!”
Nan Yifan nodded. “How’s the eldest young master?”
