The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 77: Shaken

Until Xi Yu was brought in, Ji Mingzhu still hadn’t awakened.

After the examination, Xi Yu’s face was serious, "She probably has a hemorrhage in her brain."

Xie Yunzhen’s breath hitched, "Why wasn’t this discovered earlier?"

There’s no point in discussing this now.

The problem has been identified, it needs to be solved.

Looking at Xie Yunzhen’s demeanor, it’s clear these two have had another conflict.

And a serious one at that.

Xi Yu, rarely without banter, spoke harshly upfront, "She fainted due to emotional stimulation, if it happens again, I can’t guarantee she’ll wake up."

A chill rose from the soles of his feet, Xie Yunzhen felt weak, gripping the chair’s armrest as he sat down, avoiding a fall.

His voice was hoarse and muffled, as if his throat was stuffed with cotton, "Can it be fully cured?"

"Currently there’s a chance, but if you stimulate her again, she might suddenly be gone at any moment."

As he spoke, the man’s sharp gaze cut into him like a knife.

Xi Yu snorted, "It’s no use glaring at me, I’m just stating the facts."

"Don’t say that word!"

Xie Yunzhen clenched his jaw hard, but couldn’t control the twitch of his facial muscles.

"It’s not me who’s been stimulating her. Instead of picking faults, why not consider what you should do in the future to prevent similar occurrences?"

How to keep her from being triggered.

Isn’t that obvious?

Comply with her wishes, he returns to the capital, never appearing before her again.

Then she’ll be happy, right?

Helplessness, reluctance, pain... swept over him.

Xie Yunzhen’s posture collapsed, he hunched over, hand pressing against his forehead.

Breathing erratic, obviously emotionally unstable.

Seeing him like this, Xi Yu’s gaze was sympathetic.

No battle, however tough, had ever disheartened him one bit.

But now, he was utterly dejected, helpless, engulfed in deep agony.

This man, who could conquer anything, suddenly seemed so desolate, Xi Yu truly pitied him.

But what he said was also true.

With Ji Mingzhu’s condition, it’s possible for her to lose her life if triggered.

Better to tell Xie Yunzhen the outcome now than cause pain afterward.

He knows what choice to make.

Xi Yu treated Ji Mingzhu with acupuncture, Xie Yunzhen sat quietly.

Like a rock, not moving a centimeter.

And he didn’t speak.

His gaze lovingly swept over Ji Mingzhu’s face, not missing an inch, as if engraving her likeness deeply into his mind.

Xie Yunzhen’s eyes were very sore.

Sore, swollen, reddened.

His nose too.

This feeling, he’s only experienced with Ji Mingzhu.

But he savors it, whether the moments with Ji Mingzhu are bitter or sweet.

Xie Yunzhen is fundamentally reckless, willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill his desires.

Before Xi Yu arrived, all he thought about was taking unconscious Ji Mingzhu back to the capital.

Once settled, she could cause a fuss all she wanted.

He had plenty of time to soften her attitude, to enjoy their days together.

But Xi Yu said he could provoke Ji Mingzhu.

There’s still a chance Ji Mingzhu could lose her life.

How could he dare to take that risk?

If he must choose, he wishes Ji Mingzhu to live well.

Xie Yunzhen covered his face, feeling the wetness on his palm, eventually it seeped through his fingers.

A man rarely sheds tears, only when deeply hurt.

Xi Yu watched, feeling Xie Yunzhen was the most unfortunate in the circle of privilege.

He has power and status, born with noble roots.

Once moved by emotion, he fell into the mud.

Emotions, when good, lift one to cloud nine, and when bad, can be deadly!

Unsure how to console Xie Yunzhen, after completing Ji Mingzhu’s acupuncture, Xi Yu stepped out of the meditation room.

As a friend, he understood Xie Yunzhen’s choice.

Consider this giving them some time, for a farewell.

Yuan Changan was covered in wounds, even though blocked by Xie Yunzhen’s people, he hadn’t moved an inch.

Politely cupped his hand, "Doctor Xi, how is Mingzhu’s condition?"

"She’s not going to die for the time being."

This answer wasn’t what Yuan Changan wanted.

He anxiously asked, "Specifically, what’s wrong? My family has many medicinal herbs, those we lack I can find, Doctor Xi, please ensure you cure Mingzhu."

Xi Yu clicked his tongue, expressing his doubt, "Young Master Yuan, do you show such dedication to every woman?"

Yuan Changan didn’t see this as offensive, instead, someone stood up for Mingzhu, and that’s good.

It shows there are many people in the world who care about her.

"Some matters aren’t spoken openly, but Mingzhu is unique."

Xi Yu raised an eyebrow, "Next time another woman in trouble, will you still lend a hand?"

Yuan Changan countered, "I heard Doctor Xi enjoyed traveling early on, likely you’ve encountered similar situations, when you treat and save people, do you need to consider if the other is male or female?"

Xi Yu was momentarily speechless, he was referring to that Oiran, but this person broadened the scope greatly!

"At critical times, saving a man is virtuous, saving a woman is impure, Doctor Xi, is that what you think?"

Xi Yu felt thoroughly tarnished.

A matter of life and death, not to be toyed with!

Suddenly understood why Xie Yunzhen found Yuan Changan intolerable.

Aside from natural opposition between rivals, this person’s words were indeed irritable.

He snorted, "I’ve heard plenty about Young Master Yuan’s romantic affairs with the Oiran, truly blessed, aren’t you?"

Yuan Changan too found Xi Yu annoying, obviously he’s biased, siding with Xie Yunzhen.

But now he needed something, he couldn’t let Mingzhu’s illness be a cause for impulsiveness.

Spoke sincerely, "When Mingzhu wakes, I will confess everything to her, whether she stays or leaves, it’s entirely her choice."

Xi Yu thought no wonder Ji Mingzhu was willing to be with Yuan Changan.

He’s quite upfront and honest.

Unlike the pitiful soul inside, always using arrogance and dominance to mask his true feelings.

The more forceful he is, the further Ji Mingzhu retreats.

Now look, he pushed the girl he loves into someone else’s arms.

After Yuan Changan confesses everything, who knows what Ji Mingzhu will think.

Will she find Yuan Changan to be a righteous man?

Or see him as a well-meaning person causing trouble, and not want to pursue marriage with him?

After an undetermined time, the man inside came out.

Coldly glanced at Yuan Changan.

"Don’t bully her."

Before Yuan Changan could respond, the man had already stepped out.

He walked quickly, as if afraid he’d regret it.

Even his retreating figure showed embarrassment and haste.

He didn’t visit the Yuan Family, he went straight to the pier to board a boat, setting off back to the capital.

His messy hair was shaved clean, the man wore a dark purple brocade robe, his features deep, his face chiselled, his presence even colder and more noble.

Like a celestial god descending, making others dare not to gaze.

Nor dare to approach for conversation.

He stood at the bow, still looking in the direction of Yangzhou City.

Heaven and water reluctant.

In this moment, he’s hoping the Princely Heir acts recklessly again, and brings Miss back regardless.

Asked, "Young Master, aren’t we bringing Miss back to the capital?"

Xie Yunzhen replied with a nod.

"Not bringing her."

As long as she lives well.

That’s good.
