Aunt Xiao had indeed been seriously ill. Although her fever had gone down after taking medicine, she was still very weak. After chatting with Xia Wanniang for a while, she felt a little exhausted.

Xia Wanniang helped her lie down on the bed, touched her forehead and found that her fever had subsided. She took her pulse and found that there was nothing serious wrong with her, just a little weak. It should be fine after resting for a while.

Aunt Xiao held her hand and said, "Mrs. Wan, whether you believe it or not, I liked you the first time I saw you."

Xia Wanniang didn't think she was coaxing her. The love and kindness in her eyes when she saw her for the first time couldn't be faked: "I know, so I stayed."

Aunt Xiao held her hand tightly and said, "I am old now, there are some things that you don't need to let us know. I am afraid that I will get confused and accidentally tell others. You don't need to tell the three children either."

Xia Wanniang knew what she meant. There were suddenly so many things in the house. They were not fools. Not asking did not mean they did not know.

By saying this now, she has already acknowledged that she knows she has a secret, and they will keep it, so she doesn't have to be honest with them.

"If you don't let me down, I won't let you down either."

Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded at her: "I feel relieved when you say this."

Xia Wanniang pulled the quilt over her and said, "Mom, you go to sleep for a while. I'll go boil some hot water and wipe your body when you wake up."

"Okay." After saying that, Aunt Xiao closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.

When Xia Wanniang came out of the house, she saw Xiao Chiye standing tall in the yard, as if waiting for her.

Xiao Chiye heard the movement behind him and turned to look at her: "Thank you for today."

Xia Wanniang put her hands behind her back and walked to a distance of three steps from him. She looked up at the man who was a head and a half taller than her and said, "My husband is alienating me."

Xiao Chiye lowered his head slightly and looked at the woman in front of him. Her eyes were lively and there was a hint of smile in them. After hearing what she said, he turned his head away unnaturally and coughed a few times.

Xia Wanniang noticed that an unnatural pink color had crept up from his earlobe to his entire ear.

I didn't expect that my husband has such a lovely side.

Xiao Chiye felt her gaze on him and said awkwardly, "I'll go boil some hot water for the three children to take a bath." Then he turned around and left quickly.

Xia Wanniang laughed with pleasure when she saw that he was walking in an unsteady manner.

When Xiao Chiye heard the laughter behind him, he felt helpless. When did he become so useless?

Xia Wanniang saw her leave and turned to look for her three children. She had some things she needed to confirm.

When she was holding Xiao Zisen before, she was busy coaxing him and didn't take his pulse. Now she wanted to see what was going on with the three children.

The three children's room was right between Aunt Xiao and Xiao Chiye's room. Because they were young, the three of them lived together.

Xia Wanniang walked to the window and saw that only Xiao Zisen was sitting on the bed playing. The other two children had gone somewhere unknown.

She knocked on the door "knock knock knock"

When Xiao Zisen heard the voice, he turned around and saw it was her. His eyes were full of joy. He jumped off the bed and ran towards her.

When Xia Wanniang saw that he was barefoot and ran over, she quickly reached out and picked him up: "The weather is cold, you should put on your shoes before going out, otherwise you will catch a cold easily."

Xiao Zisen put his arms around her neck and nodded affectionately.

Xia Wanniang carried him to the bed and sat him down: "Zisen, can I feel your pulse?"

Xiao Zisen hesitated for a moment, looked up into her eyes, and finally nodded, stretching his hand in front of her.

Xia Wanniang looked at his thin little arm, placed her fingers on his pulse, checked it carefully, and frowned.

His pulse was not normal, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes even disappearing, and sometimes beating violently.

She seemed to have seen this kind of pulse in ancient books, and a flash of lightning flashed through her mind.

Who is so cruel as to poison a child so severely?
