The people in the tent burst into tears immediately, completely ignoring the presence of outsiders. If their beautiful face was ruined, how could they have a good life in the future? "I will not live any longer. Someone is trying to harm me. My son! Bao'er! Fu'er! My poor son.

My life is so miserable, I don’t want to live any longer! My husband, please make the decision for me.”

The thought of being disfigured terrified Concubine Liu. She truly didn't want to live anymore. How would she face people in the future? She hadn't even been able to see her two sons these past few days. The thought of Chu Xuan turning his back on her and potentially being sent away to the manor made her wish she could just hang herself.

When Doctor Park saw the situation inside, even though he had a cloth covering his face, the stench in the room was so unbearable that he didn't want to stay there anymore.

He simply packed up his medicine box and said, "Your Highness, it would be best if you discussed with the Marquis and the old lady whether you want to get treatment or not. But I've also made it clear to you that if you delay any longer, I'm afraid even you won't be able to endure it."

He was able to come in person because of the Fourth Prince's face. Seeing that this family was still dithering, Chu Xuan didn't look like someone who could accomplish big things. He didn't know why the Fourth Prince would be interested in such a family.

Doctor Park really disliked Chu Xuan's hesitation. He thought he might find a better doctor than him, which made him angry.

Chu Xuan: "Then~~Then! Can you please ask Doctor Park and Mo Yan to sit in the study in the front yard first? I will discuss it with my father and mother before making a decision."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Park became even more furious. This was really a waste of time, but he couldn't just walk away, so he had no choice but to follow Mo Yan.

In fact, it’s not that Chu Xuan couldn’t make this decision, but he thought that Aunt Liu was the mother of Fu Ge’er and Bao Ge’er after all, and she was also the niece of Old Liu. He should inform her anyway to prevent his mother from getting angry at him in the future.

"Doctor Park, please go to my study and sit for a while. I'll ask the servant to serve you tea." Chu Xuan didn't follow in person, knowing that it was impolite, so he quickly explained to the servant and then hurried out.

……

Mo Yan led Doctor Park in and left in a hurry. Sitting in Chu Xuan's study, Doctor Park felt inexplicably weird. There was nothing around except a desk, chairs and empty bookshelves. Can a house without books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and calligraphy and ink paintings be called a study?

But he finally shook his head, muttering to himself, "No wonder the Marquis's Mansion has been in decline, with each generation declining further and further. They're almost out of land in the capital." The Marquis's son's so-called study doesn't have a single book, not even a brush, ink, paper, or inkstone. I wonder how the Marquis raised this child. He's truly unlearned and unskillful, and even the gods can't save him. Thinking back to Chu Xuan's listless demeanor and the dark circles under his eyes—it was obvious he was indulging in lust every day—he became even more displeased.

It was not until Mo Yan brought in the tea that he noticed that the study had been completely destroyed. He screamed, put down the tea and ran out without saying a word. This move almost spilled the tea on Doctor Park, and the scream almost made Doctor Park fall off his seat, which was very confusing.

Doctor Park calmed down and shook his head: The master is unreliable, and the servants seem useless too. It's unfortunate for the Marquis's family. No wonder the daughter of the Jing family insisted on divorce even when her parents' family fell into trouble. She must have realized that the Marquis's mansion was useless a long time ago.

The prince hadn't been to the study in a few days, and Mo Yan had been too lazy to come in and clean it up. Now the study was empty. Normally, the old lady and the marquis wouldn't bother with the little things in the prince's room, let alone send someone to clean it up. Even if they did, Mo Yan wouldn't be unaware of it, as his room was right next door! It must have been robbed. Mo Yan only thought about reporting it to the prince quickly, not caring about the guest from the palace.

In Diecui Garden,

Old Mrs. Liu: "Treat her, of course not! We can't let her fester in the willow-catkins courtyard. That would be unlucky. If she gets disfigured, the worst that can happen is that she'll live in a side courtyard, eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and pray for the children. Just don't scare my two grandsons."

Chu Xuan thought his mother would protect his cousin more and would post a notice to recruit famous doctors first, but he didn't expect that she would give up directly.

However, this idea coincided with his own, and he just wanted to end this matter quickly.

Lord Chu Lingfeng spoke even more bluntly. He loved his grandson, but he looked down on Concubine Liu, especially Old Liu's family. So he made the final decision: "It's just that Madam needs to find a new wife for Xuan'er as soon as possible. What's the big deal?"

Look, even though she is his niece, old Mrs. Liu was thinking of taking her as his co-wife a few days ago. The disease hasn't been cured yet, and the old couple is already thinking about what to do next. Human nature is really cold-hearted.

"I know, mother." He told his mother only for the sake of explanation. Thinking of the stench in Liuxu Courtyard just now, even if the jade muscle cream could restore Aunt Liu's face to its original state, he would still feel nauseous if he put his mouth on it. Thinking of the smell, he felt that if he kissed her, it would probably take years for her to get rid of it. And the sore that was said to be oozing pus, he felt a little disgusted just thinking about it.

"It's been a while since we've had dinner together. Let's eat at Diecui Courtyard tonight. I'll ask someone to bring Brother Fu over from the front yard."

The Marquis had not been home for a few days, so naturally he felt a little guilty towards his old wife, so he nodded in agreement. Although Chu Xuan thought of the good things about the two concubines, he had no reason to refuse to see his parents and son. Besides, having a meal would not interfere with his good things, so he nodded in agreement.

At this time, Nanny Chang came in hurriedly and reported: "Marquis's wife, Master, Mo Yan is outside in a hurry. He said that the study should have been robbed."

"study?"

"Stolen?"

The father and son both broke out in a cold sweat, their hearts trembling. They both jumped up from their stools at the same time, running out one after the other. Despite the Marquis' age, he ran faster than Chu Xuan, as if he were being chased by a ghost.

It doesn’t matter where the theft occurs, but the study must not be robbed.

When she heard about the theft, Old Mrs. Liu was frightened, especially when she saw the father and son running out in a panic, she knew that something big must have happened.

"Madame Chang, please go check my warehouse and see if there is anything unusual."

It couldn't be stolen, could it? She still had a lucky glimmer of hope. After all, there was a long distance between the front yard and the back yard, so there was always someone in there.
