At this time, the Qiao Mansion was brightly lit.

A low whimpering sound could be heard from the room on the second floor. A small body was lying in the quilt, half asleep and half awake, shivering.

When Qiao Ruyi went over, she saw the nanny standing in the room, at a loss.

"What happened to Xile?"

Qiao Ruyi strode in and found that Qiao Xile's little face was red due to fever, and there were bruises on his forehead, as if he had been injured, or as if he had been injured for some time.

She raised her hand and touched Qiao Xile's forehead, which was frighteningly hot.

When the nanny saw her come in, she hurriedly said, "Master Xile suddenly had a fever this morning. The family doctor came to see him and did the necessary tests. He said there was nothing serious and he might have caught a cold."

As she spoke, she looked at the person on the bed, her face filled with worry. "But Master Xile refused to take the medicine and kept calling out 'sister' in a daze."

The nanny thought she was calling the Second Miss, but then she thought that the Second Miss was not nice to him, so she shouldn't be called the Second Miss. Then she thought she might be calling the Eldest Miss.

"Have you taken the fever-reducing injection?" asked Qiao Ruyi.

"Yes," the nanny said, "I've already had two injections from morning to evening, but it didn't work."

Qiao Ruyi looked at the medicine and warm water on the bedside table and asked, "Where's Qiao He?"

In the entire Qiao Mansion, only the eldest daughter dares to call Mr. Qiao by his full name.

The nanny hurriedly said, "Mr. Qiao hasn't come back yet because he's dealing with company matters."

Qiao Ruyi frowned. Something big was indeed going to happen in the Qiao Group recently, and Qiao He probably wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully.

The small body curled up on the bed. Qiao Ruyi asked, "Xi Le is sick. Does Li Ling know?"

The nanny nodded and said nothing else.

When Master Xile fell ill, she went to the backyard room to inform Madam Li immediately, but Madam Li only said one sentence, she was not a doctor, what was the point of telling her!

Seeing that the nanny was hesitant to speak, Qiao Ruyi probably guessed that Li Ling didn't care about Qiao Xile.

Qiao He is not at home and Li Ling doesn't care, so there is no one in the entire Qiao Mansion who can make decisions.

"Where's Qiao Ruyuan?" Qiao Ruyi asked, "She's Xile's sister. Where is she?"

The nanny lowered her head and said, "Second Miss, Second Miss..."

"explain."

The nanny closed her eyes and said, "The second young lady went out shopping."

"Shopping?" Qiao Ruyi frowned.

She had clearly told Uncle Gui to block Qiao Ruyuan's bank card and not to let her leave the Qiao Mansion, so how long had it been since she went out shopping?

"Yes." The nanny said truthfully, "The second young lady went to Mr. Qiao and cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself. Mr. Qiao had no choice but to allow her to do so."

Qiao Ruyi sneered. Qiao He was really nice to her.

Now was not the time to settle accounts with Qiao Ruyuan. She instructed the nanny, "Ask the family doctor to come over again."

"Yes, Miss." The nanny hurried out to make a phone call.

Qiao Ruyi touched Qiao Xile's burning forehead and thought that it was not a good idea to continue burning like this.

She patted his little face gently, "Xi Le? Xi Le? Wake up, I am your sister, and your sister is here to see you."

Qiao Xile was delirious with fever and seemed to hear Qiao Ruyi's voice. He closed his eyes and sobbed, tears streaming down his face.

"Xi Le, don't cry." Qiao Ruyi leaned over and gently wiped away his tears. "Sister is here. Be obedient and take the medicine when you wake up, okay?"

Qiao Xile cried even harder, closing her eyes and trembling as she murmured, "Murderer...Murderer...She is a murderer..."

murderer?

Who is the murderer?

"Xi Le?" Qiao Ruyi gently touched his burning face. "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Sister..." Qiao Xile choked with sobs, "She is a murderer..."

"Sister is here." Qiao Ruyi held his small body and patted his thin back. "Xile, I am your sister. Sister is here. Be obedient and wake up to see your sister first, okay?"

It seemed that her comfort took effect. Qiao Xile's crying gradually subsided. His body twitched slightly and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Her big eyes were wet, and she froze in disbelief when she saw Qiao Ruyi. It took her a long time to react, "Sister, sister? You are my sister..."

"It's me, Xile." Qiao Ruyi touched his head gently, "You are sick, and your sister came to see you."

Qiao Xile suddenly hugged her and started crying tremblingly, "Sister... I miss you so much..."

The little body hugged her and cried loudly. Qiao Ruyi felt distressed and said, "Xile, it's all my fault that I've been too busy recently and didn't have time to come and see you. It's my fault."

"Sister..." Qiao Xile cried bitterly, "Xile was wrong. Xile didn't, didn't protect it well..."

"It?" Qiao Ruyi touched his head. "What is it?"

Qiao Xile slowly let go of Qiao Ruyi, stretched out his tightly clenched fist in front of Qiao Ruyi, and slowly opened it.

"I broke it... I'm sorry..."

What he was holding tightly in his hands were a few broken fragments, so broken that they were almost unrecognizable.

If Qiao Ruyi and Ling Che hadn't picked it out personally, she really wouldn't have recognized it.

In the palm of that little hand were a few broken building blocks.

It was the racing building blocks that she and Ling Che had given him. She remembered that Qiao Xile had always liked them and always held them in his hands no matter what he did.

When giving it to him, Ling Che smiled and promised him that when he grew up, he would give him a real racing car.

"It's okay, Xile." Qiao Ruyi looked at his tearful face, "It's broken, it's okay. I'll buy you a new one later."

Qiao Xile's tears fell, "It was my good friend. I didn't protect it well. Xile has no friends anymore..."

"How could that be? Xile will go to school and work in the future, and will meet many new friends." Qiao Ruyi held him in her arms. "Xile will definitely not be without friends. Sister and brother are also Xile's friends, right?"

His body was burning hot, and Qiao Ruyi comforted him, "Xi Le, take the medicine first, okay?"

Qiao Xile nodded obediently, then looked at her blankly, "Sister..."

"Hmm?" Qiao Ruyi brought over the antipyretic medicine and warm water, and just happened to meet Qiao Xile's gaze.

There was a hint of panic, fear, and indescribable disgust in his eyes.

Qiao Xile suddenly spoke up, "Murderer! She's a murderer!"

He had just been shouting "murderer" in his dream, and Qiao Ruyi thought he was having a nightmare.

"Who is the murderer?" she asked.

"she--"
