Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Jia Hu had countless times wanted to jump into the book and kill Jia Zhen while reading or watching TV, Jia Zhen was now just a child younger than himself, and he hadn't done any of the things described in the book. Judging from the truth of the matter, this little rascal, though somewhat spoiled, was also a very caring and affectionate child towards his brothers, so Jia Hu couldn't bring himself to dislike him. All he could do was resolutely prevent him from becoming like that. If he dared to show any signs of turning bad, he would definitely teach him a lesson.

After finishing their morning classes, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu didn't even need to eat. They went to Jia Daishan's residence and said they wanted to visit Jia Zhen.

Jia Daishan was also very worried. He was afraid that his elder brother would punish the child again after returning home.

He heard the news of Jia Zhen's illness in the morning and was going to go, but he was also worried about his elder brother. Later, he heard from others that Jia Zhen was fine, and since his two grandsons would definitely be going too, he decided to wait until they finished school before going together.

Just after school, his two grandsons, holding hands, rushed into his room, saying they wanted to go to the East Mansion. He smiled and agreed, then took his two grandsons to the East Mansion.

They went straight to Jia Daihua's courtyard from the Ningguo Mansion. Jia Daihua already knew they were coming and had asked Jia Jing to come out and greet them. Jia Jing, still shaken by the events and Jia Zhen's fever, hadn't slept a wink the night before. He was also injured on his head, and his face was pale with blue lips.

Upon seeing this, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu first bowed to Jia Jing. Jia Jing then tried to bow to Jia Daishan, but Jia Daishan quickly stopped him, saying:

"Don't stand on ceremony, you don't look well. Is your head injury treated? How is your father?"

Jia Jing forced a smile and said, "Father didn't get much rest last night either. I hope Uncle can persuade him. My injury has been treated and is fine now."

Jia Hu recalled seeing Jia Jing with his head wrapped up yesterday, and now he wondered how Uncle Jing had gotten injured.

Knowing his feelings, Jia Daishan said nothing more and followed him into the courtyard.

Upon entering the house, they saw Jia Jing's wife, Li, feeding Jia Zhen.

When you see someone arrive, you should bow.

Jia Daishan quickly stopped him, saying, "No need for such formalities. How is Zhen'er?"

Li quickly replied, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Uncle. The fever has subsided, and the imperial physician said there's nothing to worry about."

Before, Jia Zhen still lived with her. But after returning from their hometown, her father-in-law said that the child was old enough to start school and that the previous primary school at home was no longer suitable.

She took Zhen'er to her father-in-law's courtyard. Although she was reluctant to part with her, she knew that her husband was at a crucial time for studying. She was good at managing the household, but not so good at studying.

Zhen'er was better off with her father-in-law than with me, but last night the maid came to say that Zhen'er had a fever. This child was usually very healthy and rarely got sick, so this illness really scared me. Fortunately, God blessed me, and after my father-in-law invited the imperial physician and Zhen'er took the medicine, her fever subsided, and I was finally able to relax.

When Jia Zhen saw Jia Hu and Jia Zhu arrive, he was overjoyed and wanted to wave to them, but he had no strength and could only say from the bed:

"Brother Hu, Brother Zhu, you've come to see me."

Jia Hu and Jia Zhu went to the bedside, and Jia Hu said:

"Why did she suddenly develop a fever? It scared us to death."

Jia Zhu nodded in agreement.

Jia Zhen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, pulled the blanket over half of his face, leaving only his eyes showing, and said shyly:

"I cried for too long yesterday."

Jia Hu laughed, and Jia Zhu poked his cheek with his finger and said, "Shame on you!"

Jia Zhen blushed even more and said somewhat anxiously:

"Are we still good brothers?"

The adults in the room all laughed, and Jia Daihua said:

"If you two laugh at him, he'll crawl under the covers."

Jia Zhen shouted:

"grandfather!"

The adults inside were laughing uncontrollably.

Jia Hu smiled and pulled up his blanket, revealing his face, and said:

"You're covering your face, be careful you don't suffocate."

Jia Zhen looked at Jia Hu with sparkling eyes and said:

"Brother Hu is still the best to me. From now on, Brother Hu will be number one in my heart."

Jia Zhen thought to himself, "My grandfather, who used to be ranked first, promised me last night that he wouldn't scold me anymore as long as I didn't make any mistakes. Now he's mocking me. I'll just have to remove him from first place."

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhu objected and immediately jumped up, wanting Jia Zhen to see him, saying:

"Brother Zhen, where am I? Where am I?"

Jia Zhen looked at his younger brother, who had just said he was shy, and initially didn't want to pay him any attention. However, seeing the little boy's bright, expectant eyes, he tilted his head back and said proudly:

"You'll be second for now."

Jia Zhu immediately cheered, not caring about whether it was temporary or not. He was second, just behind his elder brother Hu, and he was already very happy.

Seeing that his elder brother looked tired but was in a good mood, Jia Daishan felt much relieved. He had been worried all day that his straightforward brother might be getting stuck on something.
