Forget about anything else, he is a man of status after all, how could he wear such clothes?

"The first one, no need to change." Gao E said with a smile.

Chen Tao opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "Then I choose the second one."

"No." Gao E tilted her head.

Chen Tao was shocked. This woman always showed her true colors when his attitude improved even a little.

"Including wearing this, there are three choices." Gao E looked like she was being nice to you.

Chen Tao threw his clothes on the ground and said, "I want my father to send me some clothes to wear."

Gao E looked at the clothes on the ground and said, "These clothes are dirty. You have to wash them yourself."

"Impossible." Chen Tao stepped on the clothes twice.

Gao E sighed in her heart. Money is really hard to make. Ten taels a month is a bit too little.

Then she ignored Chen Tao.

Chen Tao was ignored by Gao E, so he stepped on her clothes again to vent his dissatisfaction.

Gao E just ignored him, thinking that the money for the clothes would have to be paid for by the richest man Chen, after all, it was not a natural loss.

Chen Tao vented his anger but received no response. He returned to his room angrily. He had run so far and was irritated by Gao E so much that he was exhausted.

He went back to the room and fell asleep immediately, thinking that when he saw his father, he would definitely accuse Gao, the vicious woman, and let his father take charge of the matter for him.

I fell asleep while thinking about it...

When Chen Tao didn't come out for lunch, Gao E had a bad feeling: "He Shi, go check on Chen Tao."

"Yes." He agreed and went over.

After a while, He came back and said, "Chen Tao is sleeping. Do you want to wake him up?"

"Since you are sleeping..." Gao E suddenly paused and stood up and walked over.

Chen Tao was sweating all over and would catch a cold if he went to bed without changing his clothes.

When she went over, she saw that Chen Tao's face was as red as a monkey's butt and it was hot to the touch.

He was panicked: "I, I..."

"Go make ginger soup." Gao E's face turned unhappy.

He hurried to cook ginger soup.

This He is okay at doing some rough work, but I really don't trust her with anything else.

When He went to cook ginger soup, Gao E wanted to change Chen Tao's clothes, but the boy looked thin and heavy, so Gao E had to go over and call her eldest brother over.

When Chen Qing saw that Chen Tao was burned so badly, he became a little worried and asked Gao E to go out first.

Gao E thought that Chen Tao was still a child and she didn't mind, but since her elder brother asked her to leave, she had to leave first.

Chen Qing wiped Chen Tao with hot water before changing him into clean clothes. He had just prepared ginger soup and drank a large bowl of it.

"What's going on?" Gao E was worried.

"Why don't we send him to He County right away and find a good doctor for him?" Chen Qing suggested.

This is the only child of the richest man, Chen. Something happened just on the second day after he arrived. How will they explain it then?

Gao E hesitated for a moment and said, "Let him sweat first. If that doesn't work, I'll send him to He County overnight."

In Gao E's eyes, the cold was not that serious, especially since Chen Tao was not the kind of person who was weak and sickly.

"Then let Uncle Sun come and take a look." Chen Qing was very worried about accidents.

"Wait an hour." Gao E looked at Chen Tao's red face.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Chen Qing nodded and said, "You know the importance of what you do. Don't be careless this time."

Gao E did not dare to be careless. After sending her elder brother away, she stayed by Chen Tao's side, used a cold cloth to cool Chen Tao down, and kept touching the back of Chen Tao's neck to determine the temperature.

After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, Chen Tao sweated even more, but fortunately his body temperature did not continue to rise.

Suddenly, Chen Tao twitched twice and muttered, "It's not me! Don't hit me! I'll give you money!"

Gao E frowned and listened closer. She was a little surprised to hear Chen Tao's words. He was Chen Xiangyue's son. Who would dare to treat him like this?

"I want to go home..." Chen Tao's murmur became smaller and smaller.

After listening for a while, Gao E raised her hand and rubbed Chen Tao's frown. It seemed that she had to talk to Chen Xiangyue.

She wiped the sweat from Chen Tao's palms, but Chen Tao held her hand tightly.

Fortunately, Chen Tao's fever subsided quickly. Gao E called her eldest brother to change him into a set of clean clothes, and Chen Tao finally slept soundly.

Chen Qing did not leave immediately: "This time it was a close call, second brother and sister-in-law should send him back while he is still safe."

"That's what my elder brother reminded me of." Gao E nodded.

Chen Qing felt relieved when he saw Gao E listened to his advice.

Chen Tao didn't wake up until dusk, and when he woke up he felt light-headed.

"Are you hungry?" Gao E asked directly.

Chen Tao was startled and didn't know why Gao was in his room.

"I asked Mrs. He to prepare some porridge for you. Get up and drink it." Gao E knew that Chen Tao was completely fine when she saw his appearance.

Chen Tao was still a little dazed, then he found that his clothes had been changed: "You changed my clothes secretly?"

"My elder brother changed it for you." Gao E saw that Chen Tao was very concerned about this. "But I heard you talking in your sleep."

Chen Tao immediately became nervous: "What did I say?"

He thought about the nightmare he had, the days when he returned to the school in Qinzhou City...

"What can I say? You are the biggest in the world." Gao E said unhappily.

"Really?" Chen Tao looked unconvinced.

"What else do you think you said?" Gao E stared at Chen Tao.

"Of course... I'm the oldest." Chen Tao said stubbornly.

"Okay, get up and have some porridge." Gao E looked like she didn't want to say anything more to him.

Chen Tao immediately got out of bed and followed Gao E out to drink porridge.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. After a good sleep, he felt much more relaxed. He thought Gao's was pretty good, and even the ordinary white porridge was sweet.

That night, Jin Ruyi came back and learned that Chen Tao had a fever: "Luckily, there was no danger. Otherwise, how would this have ended?"

"Come with me to see Mr. Chen tomorrow." Gao E said directly.

"Are you going to send Chen Tao back?" Jin Ruyi thought Gao E was not someone who would give up so easily.

"It's just the two of us, asking something." Gao E said directly.

Jin Ruyi nodded: "Okay."

The next day, Gao E asked Luo Dagang to look after Chen Tao, Luo Qing'er to take Xiao Wu, and she and Jin Ruyi went to Chen's house.

This was Gao E's first visit to the Chen family. The not-so-big house was luxurious with its carved beams and painted rafters.

Gao E wondered how much wealth the Chen family must have to be able to build such a house.

"Madam, Madam Chen is here." The servant saluted.

Gao E looked over and finally saw the legendary Madam Chen.

Duan Xirou looked at Gao E. She knew her son was sent to the Chen family, and she also knew Chen Ke's wife, Gao. "Is Tao'er really naughty?"

Gao E also took a quick look at Duan Xirou. She was a weak and frail woman, who felt she couldn't survive without her support. "Why do you think your son is being naughty?"

Duan Xirou paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "In the three years since I sent him to Qinzhou City, people have always said this. I thought..."

"What about three years ago?" Gao E interrupted her extremely slow voice.

A simple question seemed to make Duan fall into memories and unable to extricate herself, making her look even more fragile.

Gao E and Jin Ruyi looked at each other unconsciously, feeling that someone like Duan was not fit to be a mother.
