After Lady Baiyan heard this, she waved her hands casually. "She has always been keeping an eye on you with Painting!"

"Mom, the stare I'm talking about is different from the one I used to talk about."

Bai Ruyue was not an idiot, the mother and daughter pair in the Second Branch were obviously out of balance.

Just because she was a lady, she became the target of their envy and hatred. However, the look in her eyes was one of unwillingness and unsatisfaction.

And the last time Bai Haoshi had looked at her, was still her resentment. However, for some baffling reason, Bai Ruyue could not feel that familiar unwillingness, and could not feel that familiar unhappiness. Instead, what she felt was a kind of caring and conflicted resentment.

This kind of resentment was just like a mother meeting a child that didn't listen to her words. It was blaming the child for not being careful and being sensible.

Bai Ruyue had this kind of feeling, but she was momentarily unable to express it to Lady Baiyan.

She decided to go to Second Aunt's house again. Perhaps she was overthinking, or perhaps her illness was too serious, so Second Aunt's illness that was out of balance had a new change.

Two hours later, the carriage rubbed against the afterglow of the setting sun as it stopped in front of Bai Family Second Room.

Everyone was shocked when the door to the main house was opened, and they responded in a flustered manner.

Lady Baiyan frowned. To be honest, she rarely looked at the small ones, but why did the Second Branch House feel so chaotic? It was as if no one was listening to him or her orders!

In the midst of the chaos, they were welcomed inside. Dust and fallen leaves could be seen everywhere along the way, clearly showing the low management of the family.

"Eldest Sister-in-Law, why have all of you come?" Bai Haoshi, who had rushed to the second door in a hurry, looked a little embarrassed.

Her clothes weren't too clean, and there were still some creases on them. The hair bun on her head was a bit loose and crooked. It was unknown if it was because she hadn't combed it well in the morning or because she had slept for an entire afternoon.

However, her expression was not good, especially her eyes which were slightly sunken and green. Lady Baiyan wanted to say something to her, but she suddenly changed her mind, "Why are you like this?"

She was extremely shocked, and it could be said that it was only now that she seemed to have truly noticed Bai Haoshi's change.

"Isn't it because Painting is sick? That's why I'm a little tired." Bai Haoshi spoke in a helpless manner, but her eyes did not shift towards Bai Ruyue, not even glancing at him in a normal manner.

This confused Bai Ruyue a little.

"We came this time to see the painting. Ru Yue said that she was worried about the painting's illness, so we came." After Lady Baiyan said this, Bai Haoshi's gaze finally fell on Bai Ruyue's body.

"To think that such a painting could be cared for. How rare."

With a slightly resentful tone, Lady Baiyan rolled his eyes and shoved the pastries in her hands over: "Why are you still saying that! "Go, go, go!"

With Lady Baiyan's urging, Bai Haoshi naturally led the way ahead, while Bai Ruyue followed behind the two elders. She felt that Bai Haoshi had returned to her previous appearance – to either ignore her or choke on her.

Did I overthink things?

But what did she mean the other day when she said I shouldn't have called her Second Aunt?

Bai Ruyue did not understand.

The courtyard of the second house was not as big as the main house, so the two disciples only had to travel a few steps to enter the inner chamber.

However, the moment they entered the Inner Academy, which was where the best room was located, a foul stench came over, causing Lady Baiyan and Bai Ruyue to look at each other involuntarily. And at this time, the door opened, and Bai Changfeng walked out.

"Sister-in-law, you're here!" Bai Changfeng was still wearing the same appearance, his body looking bent out of shape.

"Yes!" "Like painting her …" When Lady Baiyan saw that the bowl Bai Changfeng brought out was actually a bowl of food that was in the shape of a mash, she became extremely nervous.

Bai Changfeng slipped out of his nose, turned his head, and wordlessly picked up his bowl and squatted down by the side. His body was still trembling, obviously he was crying silently.

Seeing that, Lady Baiyan immediately rushed into the hut, Bai Ruyue naturally following.

Inside the house, the stench was even worse, and was even a little fishy. The two of them immediately ran into the house and saw that Bai Ruhua was already so skinny that she was lying on the bed, not mentioning his skinny body, even if her clothes did not cover his body, her exposed parts were still full of pustules!

Poison!

Bai Ruyue raised an eyebrow, but she did not say anything.

"Heavens, what is going on?!" Lady Baiyan was shocked, she did not like Painted Beings any longer, so when she saw the Painted Beings acting like this, she became excited: "How did she become like this?"

"It's hard to say." Bai Haoshi stood behind them with a bitter look on her face: "All of a sudden, you guys have become idiots. You can't say anything, and there's no reaction when people ask.

"We weren't there that day, but there were people here afterwards. Why didn't I see you guys come look for me?"

"What's the use of looking for you then? We've already asked a doctor, and he said that Painting had mistakenly taken something and was poisoned. If we can't save him within three days, we won't be able to do so anymore.

The grievance in Bai Haoshi's tone was still there, as if you guys had dragged it down like a painting.

Lady Baiyan immediately felt uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything. Bai Ruyue then walked to Bai Ruhua's side and grabbed her hand with concern: "Painted, can you hear what I say?"

Bai Ruhua did not react at all, her entire body laid there like a wooden block.

"How could you be like this?" Bai Ruyue sighed with a look of helplessness on her face.

Bai Haoshi did not speak, she only stared at Bai Ruyue, staring at her movements.

"I'll come see you more often." As Bai Ruyue said that, she put Bai Ruhua's hands down, then looked at the pus on her legs and spoke to Bai Haoshi.

"Second Aunt, what's with the pustules on Painting?"

"It's hard to say. She became like this the fourth day after she fell ill."

"The doctor didn't prescribe treatment?"

It opened, but it's useless, she doesn't even know how to eat. Every day, her father fed her with water and food, and we did everything we could to drink the medicine, but we didn't have any good intentions.

Bai Haoshi then extended her hand out to invite them out, "The smell inside is not good, let's all sit outside!"

Bai Ruyue obediently got up and followed her mother out when she heard this.

Separated by a small courtyard was a parlour of flowers. However, the place was currently in a mess called Grass Hall.

Lady Baiyan asked about Bai Haoshi's problem, and the two of them sat there without saying a word. From the beginning to the end, Bai Ruyue did not speak as she sat at the side, her eyes landing on Bai Haoshi's body.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Lady Baiyan could not take the pain anymore and took her leave.

Bai Ruyue said in a serious tone, "Second Aunt, I will come over to see you guys often in the future, is that okay?"

"Of course you can!" Bai Haoshi did not have the slightest expression of surprise. Not only did she reply with satisfaction, her face even seemed to have a trace of anger.
