Yang suddenly stopped, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He felt incredibly guilty; he shouldn't have agreed to let the old man go to Chenghua Temple.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have met someone who resembled his brother-in-law.

The old man wouldn't be in this state now.

On the bed behind the screen, Old Master He was still muttering to himself.

"Mingxuan... Mingxuan, my son... don't go... Father... I'm sorry..."

Madam Yang gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked pleadingly at Physician Hu.

"Doctor Hu... please think of a way!" After saying this, she was about to kneel down to Doctor Hu.

Physician Hu quickly helped Yang up.

"Lord Yang, what are you doing...please rise!"

He shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Alas... the one who tied the knot must untie it; the old master's obsession runs too deep."

If I could resolve this obsession and see the person I long for... perhaps, just perhaps, I could wake up!

Madam Yang frowned. Wasn't the old master's obsession with Mingxuan?

My brother-in-law has been dead for almost twenty years, how could I possibly see him again!

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and his eyes lit up.

She grabbed Doctor Hu's sleeve, "Doctor Hu...you said that letting the old master see the person he misses would wake him up!"

Physician Hu nodded gently, "That is indeed the case; the old master is trapped by his obsession."

If we could meet the person who triggered the old man's obsession, it might have some effect and stimulate him to regain some of his senses.

However... this method is a last resort, a desperate measure.

After all, the old man is getting on in years, and it's uncertain whether he can withstand it!

Perhaps the old man will get better and live a little longer, or perhaps he will die.

"Lord Yang, you should think of a solution yourself. This old woman will take her leave now!"

They then packed their things and left with the child!

She had said all she could, and in her opinion, the old man was probably nearing the end of his life.

Upon hearing Physician Hu's words, Madam Yang became extremely flustered and conflicted.

The old man's condition is very bad now, and I'm afraid he will only live for the next few days!

With the wife absent, only Yang could make decisions about household affairs.

Madam Yang staggered as she entered the screen and saw the old man muttering in pain.

Tears welled up in his eyes. Sitting by the bedside, he whispered, "Father... it's all my fault... I've already sent a letter to my wife..."

Old Master He kept his eyes closed, muttering to himself, "Xuan'er... Ming... Mingxuan..."

Father, you've always been concerned about your younger brother... Madam Yang made up her mind, pressed her eyes, and called for the servants in a deep voice.

"Someone, have you found out which family the person we encountered at Chenghua Temple belonged to?"

The servant immediately knelt down and said, "Reporting to my lord, we have found out."

On that day, only the relatives of Princess Han of Ruian County brought their children to Chenghua Temple.

Princess Ruian has only recently arrived in the capital and is currently studying at the Imperial Academy. She has three sons in her household, all of whom have children.

But this servant couldn't find out which young master it was!

Upon hearing this, Madam Yang was momentarily stunned. "Princess of Ruian County!"

It caused quite a stir in Kyoto before, and even his son-in-law had heard about it.

"The General Weiyuan's mansion has never had any dealings with anyone, so how can we even begin to explain? Sigh!"

He frowned deeply, unable to think of a way to get there.

Are they going to use the name of the General Weiyuan's Mansion to exert pressure?

She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, but the old man was already in such a state!

"Someone...go and deliver a visiting card to the Lady of Ruian's residence. I will pay her a visit this afternoon!"

There's no time to worry about that now!

The old servant who was serving the old master spoke up leisurely at this moment.

“My lord… this old servant accompanied the old master to Grand Tutor Jiang’s birthday banquet.”

I heard from the old master of the Jiang family that this princess of Ruian County became a disciple of Grand Tutor Jiang.

Instead of calling Grand Tutor Jiang "Master's Wife," why not take a trip to the Jiang family!

Madam Yang looked at the old servant in surprise, "Are you serious?"

The old servant nodded repeatedly, "This old servant would not dare to lie!"

Yang's eyes lit up, and she immediately made a plan, straightening her clothes.

"Send men to prepare a carriage! We're going to the Grand Tutor's residence!"

The old patriarch of the Jiang family was sunbathing in the courtyard.

Cui was keeping him company and chatting to pass the time when she saw the steward hurrying over.

Upon seeing Cui, he said in a deep voice, "Old Master, Lord Yang from the General Weiyuan's Mansion has come to pay a visit!"

They said they wanted to see the old master, and it seemed like it was urgent!

Madam Cui turned to look at her father-in-law, Old Master Jiang, and slowly raised her head, frowning as she spoke.

"Madam Yang wants to see me... Is it urgent? Please... Please come to the courtyard!"

As if he had thought of something, could it be... that something had happened to my little brother?

Both he and the old man of the He family are getting old, and they live their lives by counting down the days.

Who knows, he might just pass away one day...

He had known some time ago that his old friend's health was deteriorating day by day!

These days, the only person who can make the head of the He family anxious is probably Old Master He!

Cui also looked grave, but a moment later she saw Yang rushing over.

Madam Yang also looked haggard, with slightly red eyes, and came to stand in front of Old Master Jiang!

He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Uncle Jiang!"

Seeing Yang's expression, Cui and Old Master Jiang both guessed that the situation was pretty much as expected.

Grandpa Jiang waved his hand hastily and asked anxiously, "Madam Yang, is something wrong with my little brother?!"

With tears in her eyes, Madam Yang nodded gently, but did not get up. Instead, she knelt directly in front of Old Master Jiang.

"Uncle Jiang, please, for the sake of my grandfather's long-standing friendship, help me out..."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang's steps faltered slightly as he spoke urgently.

"Quick...quickly tell me...what happened!" Madam Cui rushed forward to help him up.

Madam Yang quickly explained the situation of the old master of the He family!

"My father is now on his deathbed, and his only obsession is with my younger brother Mingxuan."

He fell into a coma and had nightmares after seeing the young master Shen who resembled his younger brother.

Now, I'm only clinging to this obsession, and I don't want my father to suffer like that.

I want that young master from the Shen family to come and meet my father and have a word with him!

Even in death, one can depart peacefully…

Asking someone to visit a dying person at your home is really putting others in a difficult position!

But he really couldn't bear to see his father die because of his obsession!

When the wife is not by his side, he can see a person who looks like his younger brother beside him.

Father should be able to leave in peace now!

"That young master Shen is the husband of the Lady of Ruian County, and he has a relationship with Grand Tutor Jiang."

"Uncle Jiang, could you please help mediate? My General Weiyuan's Mansion can agree to any of your conditions!"

This caused a huge shock in the eyes of both Madam Cui and Old Master Jiang.

Old Master Jiang said in a trembling voice, "Brother He... you've seen that Young Master Shen..."

Yang was taken aback, her eyes brimming with tears. What did Uncle Jiang mean by this?

"Uncle Jiang...you...you've met that Young Master Shen too, haven't you?"

Old Master Jiang sighed and shook his head. Madam Cui quickly spoke up.

"Ah, when the Han family visited before, my father saw that young master Shen who looked extremely similar to Mingxuan!"

It was a shocking misunderstanding at the time, but... I never expected you guys would run into this too..."
