"What's wrong with you?" Ling Xiao suddenly sat up in bed in the middle of the night, and Xie Yuhua was also awakened, seeing a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

"You had a nightmare, did it scare you?" Ling Xiao took the water Xie Yuhua handed him and drank a sip.

"Did you dream about things from your childhood again?"

"No, I don't remember. Go back to sleep."

"You talk like you can fall asleep right now. Shall I tell you a Snoopy story?"

"Then you might as well sing a song."

"Well, to you, the song I sing is a lullaby."

Ling Xiao hugged Jieyuhua and said, "You don't need to do anything, just hold me. I won't be afraid if you hold me."

Tell me again, tell me what happened next.” Ling Xiao fell asleep again to the sound of Xie Yuhua’s voice.

The next morning, Wu Xie was found lying in the garden of the Prince's mansion. Because he had crushed a large number of flowers, the servants discovered him immediately, but he was still unconscious when they dragged him out.

This incident shocked everyone in the room. Fatty and Panzi carefully examined him for any wounds, and Cheng Yu even called a doctor to examine him, only to find that he had been poisoned.

"That's strange. Judging from the signs, it looks like they've been poisoned for several days. They need to be taken to the hospital for tests," the family doctor said.

"Hey, my apprentice's got some nerve. He's been breathing for days, and he even won a big prize on his own. You don't see a person as healthy as him for ages," Black Bear teased as he rummaged through his belongings.

Jieyuhua also went to the front to help, while Lingxiao watched coldly from behind, looking at the flowers that had been crushed by Wuxie with great heartache.

"What's this?" Panzi took a piece of paper out of Wuxie's pocket, with a ghost face on it.

Xie Yuhua took the paper and looked at Ling Xiao. She walked to Ling Xiao's side and showed it to him, saying, "It's Cheng Xiaoli."

"Hmm." Ling Xiao wasn't surprised that Xie Yuhua knew, and he admitted that he had indeed arranged for Cheng Xiaoli to go.

"She brought the person back, which finally put my mind at ease. It seems that Brother Xiaohua doesn't need to worry about the timing," Ling Xiao added.

"You mean Cheng Xiaoli solved the problem of Shixu?" Xie Yuhua was somewhat incredulous. According to Wu Xie, Shixu would at least carry a lot of self-protection equipment before going out. How did Cheng Xiaoli manage to do that?

"My sister is just as good at acting as I am, as are my parents. Our whole family is very good at acting. After all, my mom is a professional. It's just that Cheng Xiaoli gets stuck on things related to me. She can't get over it and doesn't want to. She inherited that from my mom."

She asks for nothing, not even life or death, but only me. She would do anything for me as long as she is of use to me.

The timing... Uncle He doesn't have our family's acting talent. They must have been talking about how he slipped away and someone took advantage of the situation. Cheng Xiaoli, who I had some advice on, must have added insult to injury.

However… the weakness of the Time Sequence is the brain. It seems she went to great lengths to leave Wuxie here and go. She must have suffered quite a bit of injury, otherwise she would have tried to take credit in front of me, instead of ruining my flowers to get revenge on me.” Ling Xiao analyzed.

"I'm still worried..."

"You were worried that Wu Xie wouldn't come back. Now that he's back, even though he's injured, you can rest assured, right?" When Ling Xiao looked at Xie Yuhua, Xie Yuhua could see her own reflection in his eyes.

"No, I was worried that Shi Xu would come back with him, but thankfully everything has changed." Xie Yuhua placed her hand on Ling Xiao's face, tracing the mole on his face with her thumb.
