After Madam Qin took Qin Wanning away from the He residence, the He family found He Yulin at Zuixianju. By the time they carried him back, he was already unconscious.

He slept for a whole day, and it wasn't until the evening of the second day that He Yulin woke up, rubbing his forehead.

"Husband, you wake up!"

Upon hearing the woman's gentle voice, He Yulin rubbed his head and suddenly looked up, squeezing his eyes shut before opening them again to see the person in front of him clearly.

It's not Qin Wanning.

He Yulin frowned and demanded, "Who are you? What are you doing in my room?"

The woman was dressed in a light pink dress, not like a maid in the mansion, and he had never seen her before.

The woman placed the tray on the table, blushing as she smiled, "My husband drank a lot of wine yesterday and doesn't remember..."

"Stop!" He Yulin rubbed his head and glared at her. "What nonsense are you spouting! Who is your husband? Who are you anyway?"

"Someone come here! Someone come here quickly!" He Yulin shouted towards the door.

His personal attendant, Guan Yan, entered, but before he could even reach the bedside, He Yulin questioned him, "What's going on? Why was she allowed in? And why did she call me husband!"

A nameless panic rose within him; he felt something was spiraling out of control, a feeling that made him very uncomfortable.

Guan Yan lowered his head and said, "This is the new concubine, Yu, whom the master has chosen for the young master."

The anger that had been building up for days, with nowhere to vent, surged into his heart at this moment. He Yulin raised his hand and swept the teacup off the low table next to the bed.

The teapot and cups fell to the ground and shattered. Aunt Yu, who was standing by the bed, was so frightened that she trembled and took a step back.

"Why did Father do this! Doesn't he know that I only have A-Ning in my heart! Why don't you ask for my opinion!" After roaring angrily, He Yulin's eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaving violently, looking like he wanted to devour someone.

Aunt Yu trembled and took another step back.

How could this be?

The young master of the He family has always been gentle and refined, the dream lover of countless women in the capital. How could he be so violent?

Guan Yan had never seen his young master look like this before. The young master now seemed to have become a completely different person that he did not recognize.

"What exactly happened?!" He Yulin demanded angrily from Guan Yan, his eyes red.

Guan Yan lowered his head slightly and looked cautiously at He Yulin, then recounted the whole story.

"Yesterday, the young master went to Zuixianju for drinks. I was originally waiting outside, but then a waiter from Zuixianju came over and said that the carriage was blocking other people's way and asked me to move it. I was only there for less than a quarter of an hour, and when I came back,..."

"Speak!" He Yulin's voice was deep, his chest still heaving.

Guan Yan glanced at Aunt Yu and said, "I saw the young master lying on the bed with his clothes disheveled, and Aunt Yu was also crying beside him with her clothes disheveled."

He Yulin looked at Aunt Yu with a deep gaze and questioned, "I was in the private room, how did you get in?"

Aunt Yu was still in shock and was trembling slightly as she faced He Yulin's questioning.

"I'm going to deliver the wine, but you're..." she said, her peach blossom eyes filling with tears, looking pitiful and charming.

"Hmph!" He Yulin sneered, "The one who delivered the wine at Zuixianju was clearly a servant, how could it be you?"

Aunt Yu's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, covering her face with her handkerchief and beginning to weep. "Young Master suspects me? My name is Liu Yu'er, and I deliver vegetables to Zuixianju every day. Yesterday, the one who was supposed to deliver the wine was a servant, but when I went to deliver the vegetables, the servant suddenly had a stomachache and said that Young Master needed the wine urgently, so he asked me to deliver it instead. I know him, and I thought it wouldn't hurt to help him out, but I didn't expect that as soon as I went in, Young Master... he..."

"I am still unmarried, and now that I have lost my chastity, if you do not want me, then I have no choice but to die!" With that, she stood up and was about to bang her head against the corner of the table.

He Yulin's mind was in complete chaos at that moment, and he couldn't remember any of those things.

Guan Yan reacted quickly and grabbed Aunt Yu's arm, preventing her from bumping into something.

He hadn't kept a close eye on the young master yesterday; if another death were to occur in the room, the young master's reputation would be ruined.

Aunt Yu struggled a few times, but when she couldn't break free, she stood there and cried softly.

Hearing her crying, He Yulin became even more agitated and roared, "Get out!"

The room fell silent instantly.

Guan Yan replied with a "Yes," and forcefully pulled Aunt Yu away.

Seeing that He Yulin looked unwell, Aunt Yu didn't dare to linger and followed Guanyan out.

After everyone left, He Yulin buried his face in the blanket and whimpered in pain.

How could this be?

He originally wanted to avoid the problem with A Ning, so how did it turn out like this?

Ah Ning was already disappointed in him, and now that he had acted recklessly while drunk, she would never forgive him.

Hearing the sobbing from inside the room, Guan Yan coldly said to Liu Yu'er, "If you don't want to die, you'd better not appear in front of the young master before he accepts you!"

Liu Yu'er glanced at the tightly closed door, finally nodded, and left, sobbing softly.

Guan Yan, worried that something had happened to He Yulin, said to another person in the courtyard, "Go and invite the master here, and tell him that the young master has woken up!"

Upon hearing the servant's report, He Wen didn't waste a moment and immediately rushed to Qinfang Courtyard.

Hearing He Yulin's painful sobs from outside, He Wen felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

My respected mother is gone, then I lost my child, and now I'm going to lose Wan Ning too.

All he can do now is stay by his son's side and help him get through this.

"Yulin." He Wen pushed open the door, intending to comfort He Yulin, but when he saw He Yulin on the bed, he staggered and almost lost his balance.

Guan Yan helped He Wen up, and when she looked up, her eyes widened in horror.

He Yulin's head was a bloody mess, and his head and hands were covered in blood, making him look extremely horrifying.

In just fifteen minutes, he pulled out most of his own hair.

He was still sobbing as he pulled out the hair, as if he felt no pain. The pulled-out hair was stuck to his hands, the bedding, the floor, and everywhere else.

"Yulin!" He Wen ran to the bedside with a sob in his voice, grabbed He Yulin's hands, and stopped him from hurting himself any further.

He Yulin's hands were restrained, but his hands still unconsciously made a pulling motion on his hair, and a hoarse, suppressed sob came from his throat.

At this moment, he was like a wounded wild beast; if he had come in any later, he wouldn't know how to treat himself.

"Yulin, please don't do this, I beg you, Father!"

However, He Yulin had completely lost his mind and could not listen to He Wen's words at all.

Upon seeing this, Guan Yan hurriedly said, "Master, I'll send someone to fetch the imperial physician!"

Just as he was about to turn and leave, He Wen said, "Send a letter to the young mistress."

Guan Yan nodded. "Yes, sir."

If the young master is like this, the only one who can bring him to his senses is probably the young mistress.

After instructing someone to guard the gate, he first asked Madam Xu to fetch the imperial physician, and then personally rode straight to the Qin residence.

Qin Wanning returned to the General's Mansion and moved back into the courtyard she had lived in before her marriage, and her mind gradually calmed down.

But there's still one thing on my mind: I don't know if I'll be able to get the divorce papers tomorrow.

Once she received the divorce papers, she would return to the Western Territory with her mother and second brother, never to return there again in her life.

Just as he was about to tell Qiuwen to turn off the lights, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door.

Qiuwen pushed open the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

The maidservant, leaning against the doorframe and panting, said, "Someone from the He family has come and said... said that the young master is dying and begs Miss to go see him."

"Snapped!"

The teacup in Qin Wanning's hand shattered on the floor.
