Looking at the four people in front of him, Wang Xijie felt a surge of anger rising within him.

These four people seemed to be deliberately showing off in front of him, a bachelor, especially Dongfang Yu, who had never gotten along with him and would not usually take the initiative to greet him.

What angered him even more was that his beloved younger sister was now only concerned with chatting and laughing with her sweetheart, completely forgetting about her own brother.

Wang Xijie failed to notice that just yesterday, he himself had neglected his sister because of a beautiful woman.

He was so engrossed in the sweetness of the moment that he had no time to think about any of that.

Then look at Mo Yun, who is usually serious and decisive. Now he has become so gentle and considerate, even willing to lower himself to please the woman he likes, just to make her smile.

This enormous transformation is truly astonishing.

The four of them were so shamelessly affectionate, completely disregarding the feelings of others. It was outrageous! Wang Xijie thought indignantly.

But then he thought about how he would soon be marrying An'an and bringing her into the family. When that happened, he would definitely show off to these unmarried guys every day, making them all only feel envious and jealous.

After the meal, Dongfang Yu, disguised as "Shadow" again, rode closely behind the carriage with Mo Yun on horseback.

The carriage moved slowly forward and finally arrived at Baicaotang, located on West Street in the capital.

Wang Xijie knew that An'an used to secretly go out to collect herbs without telling anyone and bring these precious herbs to this clinic to sell.

This clinic is known for its fair and reasonable prices, and its doctors are all highly skilled, which attracts many patients seeking medical treatment.

Moreover, because the fees are reasonable, most of the patients who come here for medical treatment are ordinary people from the lower and middle classes.

Wang Xiyue specifically chose this place to meet Ling An because she did not want to attract too much attention.

After all, what they are talking about is quite private and sensitive, and if others notice or find out, it may cause some unnecessary trouble and annoyance.

However, since they were already there, Wang Xiyue decided to take the opportunity to have the doctor examine Zhuzhu's health.

Perhaps they'll be lucky enough to encounter a highly skilled doctor who can perhaps see the hidden cause of Zhuzhu's illness!

The shop assistant in the pharmacy also demonstrated remarkable insight and quick wit.

He noticed that Wang Xiyue and her entourage were from a wealthy family who had arrived in a luxurious carriage, and immediately realized that this patient was no ordinary person and must have extremely high requirements for privacy protection.

So he hurriedly and warmly went to greet them and led them to the largest room on the second floor.

After entering the room, Wang Xiyue looked around and saw that although the furnishings were simple and plain, they were neatly arranged and spotless.

She was quite satisfied with the clean and tidy environment, and her mood improved accordingly.

With a smile, she turned to the fourteen or fifteen-year-old waiter and said, "Brother waiter, to be honest, we plan to book this room for the whole day. Would you mind informing the manager? As for the cost, we can discuss it with you!"

"Also, we need to ask a doctor to come and examine my sister, as she is mentally unstable."

Seeing that this wealthy and powerful young lady was so polite, the waiter finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, Miss, I will make the arrangements immediately. Please wait a moment, esteemed guest."

Wang Xiyue pulled Zhuzhu's hand and sat her down on the low couch, explaining to her beforehand, "Zhuzhu, someone will come to examine you and take your pulse later. Will you be a good girl and listen to me?"

While eating the pastries that Mo Yun had bought on the way, Zhu Zhu readily agreed, "Sister, Zhu Zhu is the most obedient."

Wang Xiyue patted Zhuzhu's head. "Yes, Zhuzhu is the best girl."

She then turned to her brother, who was sitting quietly in a chair, lost in thought, and asked, "Brother, if Sister An doesn't come today, should you give up?"

Wang Xijie was just thinking about how to get married, but when he heard his sister's greeting, he suddenly remembered the scene of his intimate moments with Ling An last night, and his ears suddenly burned.

He didn't know how to explain, so he could only stammer, "An'an agreed to marry me last night and admitted that she likes me."

Wang Xiyue was surprised and curious. "Really?! Didn't she always reject you before? Why did she suddenly change her mind last night?"

"Also, brother, you asked around last night, so why didn't you say so earlier? Now you've made us come all this way for nothing. What were you thinking?"

"Could it be that you've also gotten drunk and lost your memory?"

Wang Xijie coughed to cover his embarrassment, "You're the one who has amnesia, your brother is perfectly lucid."

An An gave herself completely to herself; what else could that be but love?

Moreover, he came here today for two reasons. First, he wanted to buy medicine. He felt he hadn't used much force last night, but An'an's delicate skin still had many marks on her body, and he wanted to buy her medicine.

Secondly, he wanted to try his luck. Last night, when he took An'an home, he told her to rest well, but he was still looking forward to seeing her again today. Maybe after a night's rest, she would recover and be able to keep their appointment.

Wang Xiyue then pressed on, "Now that the first step has been decided, how can we successfully marry my sister-in-law into the family in this crucial second step?"

She looked at her brother expectantly, waiting for his answer.

Wang Xijie shook his head gently, a look of helplessness and confusion on his face.

He said in a low voice, "Yueyue, I really haven't figured out exactly what to do about this."

“I don’t want my parents and you to be involved or have any negative impact because of this marriage, but at the same time I really can’t bear to let An’an suffer even the slightest grievance.”

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This problem has been troubling him for five years.

If this were something that could be easily resolved, then he wouldn't have missed out on so many years with An'an.

At this moment, Wang Xiyue turned to look at Dongfang Yu and threw this thorny question directly at him: "Brother, do you have any good suggestions?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yu's gaze involuntarily fell on Wang Xijie.

When he noticed Wang Xijie's bright red ears, he vaguely guessed what was going on.

This guy must have already won the girl's heart! I remember yesterday he was mocking him for being too cowardly and timid to take any action, but I never expected that he would have already made his move and succeeded.

However, it's likely that the woman had given her consent; otherwise, given Wang Xijie's personality, he probably wouldn't have had the guts to forcibly take a girl away.

"Xiyue, there are only two paths right now!" Dongfang said with a slightly serious expression and a solemn look.

Dongfang Yu continued, "One is to be a wife, and the other is to be a concubine."

"The first thing is to make her your brother's legal wife. However, if we want to do this, we must strictly follow the rules of parental consent and matchmaker's words, and every step in the process, from the three letters to the six betrothal gifts, must not be omitted."

"But this might make the emperor suspicious or even wary of the prime minister's office. As for the other drawbacks, everyone knows them without me having to say them."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The second reason is to make her a concubine. This would be much simpler, and His Majesty shouldn't have any reason to worry about it. My father-in-law's power shouldn't be undermined, and the Emperor will continue to be the strongest backer of the Prime Minister's office."

After saying that, Dongfang Yu sighed deeply, turned to look at Xiyue beside him, and said slowly, "No matter what choice Xijie makes in the end, the most urgent thing right now is to tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law about the whole situation, ask them to come up with a plan, and then decide how to proceed."

After hearing his explanation, Wang Xiyue's eyes flashed with admiration, and she generously praised him, "Yes, you are indeed amazing. I had actually thought of a few ways to deal with this before, but compared with your idea, it still lacked some comprehensive consideration."

Dongfang Yu's lips curled up slightly, a smile appearing between his brows and eyes. He looked back at Xiyue with tenderness and affection, his gaze seemingly containing a thousand words. Without needing to express it, they could understand each other perfectly.

Just then, Mo Yun's slightly anxious voice came from outside the door: "Master, the physician has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yu responded, "Please come in."

As soon as the words were spoken, a light and slow footstep sound was heard.

Immediately afterwards, the waiter carefully helped an elderly man dressed in plain clothes into the room.

The old man had white hair and a snow-white beard, and looked as if he were already eighty or ninety years old.

However, although the years have left their mark on his face, he has a kind face and gives people a friendly feeling.

However, his steps were slightly unsteady, and each step was very difficult, as if he needed the help of the waiter to maintain his balance.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but ponder it in their hearts.

No wonder the waiter took so long to go out; it turns out he specially went to invite such an elderly and seemingly extremely experienced doctor to come out of retirement!

At this moment, everyone was filled with curiosity and anticipation for this mysterious old doctor.

At this moment, the waiter hurriedly greeted Wang Xiyue, who was sitting inside, with a beaming smile, and said, "Miss, this is our most senior and most skilled doctor, Master Han!"

He deliberately emphasized his words to show the old man's extraordinary nature.

Immediately afterward, the waiter hurriedly added, "Normally, our ancestor rarely goes out and rarely makes house calls!"

"It is only because of your distinguished status and the special circumstances that we have no choice but to take the liberty of troubling him and asking him to personally make this trip!"

Wang Xiyue bowed slightly and respectfully thanked Doctor Han, her face full of gratitude. She said softly, "Thank you, Doctor Han, for going to such lengths to treat my sister! I will always remember this kindness."

Doctor Han quickly waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Young lady, there's no need for such formality. Treating the sick and saving lives is simply my duty. There's no need for thanks!" With that, he walked to the table and slowly sat down.

Seeing that the doctor had already taken his seat, Wang Xiyue quickly reached out and pulled Zhuzhu next to her, helping her to sit down on the chair next to her.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xiyue gently lifted Zhuzhu's slightly chubby little hand and placed it steadily on the table, while smiling at Dr. Han and saying, "Dr. Han, thank you for your trouble!"

Dr. Han nodded, observed Zhuzhu's complexion for a moment, and then placed his finger on her pulse point, beginning to take her pulse with full concentration.

He was seen sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes closing his eyes in deep thought, his expression very serious and earnest.

After a while, Wang Xiyue couldn't help but introduce Zhuzhu's situation to Dr. Han: "Dr. Han, this is my younger sister. It's strange, I don't know why she lost all her previous memories, and she has become mentally unstable."

"Fortunately, since she started following me and we've spent some time together, her condition seems to have improved a little."
