It was late at night and the night air was chilly. When the door swung open, Feng Ranchen felt a chill. She curled her body into a corner of the bed and tightly wrapped herself with the blanket, but she was still unable to block the gusts of cold wind.

Feng Ranchen woke up from the cold. She sat up and realized that the door was wide open. Feng Ranchen didn't think so at first, because her door was usually not closed at night. This was because in the past when she had lost her sanity, in order to be able to take better care of her, the doors to her room had either been closed, or someone had been able to take care of her in time.

Feng Ranchen called out to Hong Xiu softly, but no one replied her. Feng Ranchen thought that Hong Xiu was fast asleep, so she decided not to call her. She wanted to get off the bed to close the door, but when she passed the window, Feng Ranchen suddenly stopped. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have closed the window.

Another gust of wind blew and Feng Ranchen instantly felt a chill. She shrank her body and wrapped the clothes around her shoulders tighter. Quickly, she closed the window again. This time, she made sure that the window was tightly shut.

Feng Ranchen's hair flew in the air as the sound of the wind blew. She narrowed her eyes and closed the door. The moment she closed the door, Feng Ranchen seemed to see something black flash past. When she looked again, she found nothing.

Feng Ranchen probably still hadn't woken up yet. She locked the door, rubbed her eyes and went back to bed.

If someone were to stand in Feng Ranchen's yard now, they would definitely see a slender figure leaping across the rooftop before disappearing without a trace.

Slowly, the sun rose and the sky brightened. The servants in the mansion all began their daily chatters as they shuttled back and forth throughout the mansion.

"Second Young Madame." Hong Xiu called out to Feng Ranchen softly.

For a moment, Feng Ranchen felt someone calling her, but she couldn't open her eyes.

After a while, when the voice disappeared, Feng Ranchen slowly opened her eyes.

"Cough, cough, cough." As soon as Feng Ranchen opened her eyes, she felt light-headed and uncomfortable everywhere.

Hong Xiu frowned as she patted Feng Ranchen's back with worry. She asked anxiously, "Second Young Madame, what's wrong with you? I think you're sick. This servant will go get a doctor for you."

"Wait." Feng Ranchen held onto Hong Xiu, who was about to rush out, and asked weakly, "Yesterday, did you shut the door tight yesterday?"

Hong Xiu didn't understand why Second Young Madame wanted to ask her this question, but she still replied respectfully, "Naturally, it is strictly true."

"Second Young Madame, ever since you recovered, your servant has been closing the door tightly." Hong Xiu added that she left after closing all the doors to the room last night.

Feng Ranchen's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but use some strength to grab onto Hong Xiu's hand. His originally pale face turned red, and his tone became even more anxious. "Then did you come into the room last night?"

Hong Xiu was grabbed by Feng Ranchen until she hurt a little, and she didn't react for a moment.

"Speak." Feng Ranchen asked, trying her best to raise her voice.

Hong Xiu was startled by Feng Ranchen's words and hurriedly replied, "No, no." Last night, she had returned to her room after cleaning up. She was afraid that Second Young Madame would think of the past, so she avoided Second Young Madame as much as possible.

After hearing Hong Xiu's answer, Feng Ranchen, who was originally weak in spirit, felt a wave of dizziness. She relaxed her grip on Hong Xiu and softly fell onto the bed.

Hong Xiu saw that Feng Ranchen's entire face was abnormally red, and even her breathing had quickened.

"Second Young Madame, your servant will go get a doctor." After saying that, Hong Xiu quickly trotted out.

There was a special doctor inside the Zhao Mansion. Previously, it was to make it easier to diagnose and treat Second Young Madame who had a mental disorder. Now that Second Young Madame's body had recovered, she was not fired.

"Doctor, doctor. "Hurry up and take a look at our family's Second Young Madame." Hong Xiu ran to the side, out of breath. The moment she opened the door, she held onto the door frame and gasped for breath.

The doctor was in the middle of collecting the herbs when he was given such a fright by Hong Xiu that he couldn't even attend to the herbs in his hands. "What's going on? Slow down, tell me what's going on with Second Young Madame?"

The doctor ordered his disciple to carry the medicine box while he helped Hong Xiu up.

"I don't know. Hurry up and take a look." Hong Xiu was so anxious that she could not speak. She dragged the doctor and ran away.

When the doctor saw this situation, he knew that Hong Xiu wouldn't be able to get anything out of her. Thus, he hurriedly followed her into Feng Ranchen's courtyard. His little disciple carried a medicine box as he followed behind her.

Feng Ranchen was already in a daze. She lay on the bed and felt everything spinning before her eyes. Everything was blurry.

"They said that their hair wouldn't be separated, and their hands would be covered with white hair. It's probably just a joke from the men's mouths. I wonder if what you said is right or wrong."

Feng Ranchen heard someone whisper in her ear.

"Women have ungrateful lives. The most lamentable thing is that they are toyed with by those heartless people. Even when they die, they are unwilling to accept it."

"Who … who is speaking?" Feng Ranchen mumbled to herself. She couldn't tell who it was.

When the doctor arrived, Feng Ranchen's forehead was covered in sweat and her face was completely red.

The doctor walked up to Feng Ranchen in shock and took her pulse. After a while, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Second Young Madame has just caught a chill. You can take a few grams of fermented beans, mulberry leaves, chrysanthemum, silver flowers, forsythia, arctium, licorice, platycodon, hook vine, bamboo leaves, and chamomile and make it into medicinal juice for Second Young Madame to drink later." If you take a good rest, you should be fine. " As the doctor spoke, he took a pen and a paper, wrote down all the medicinal herbs required, and passed them to Hong Xiu while giving her some instructions.

"Second Young Madame's physique is weaker than ordinary people, so she can't endure the cold. Please pay attention to this in the future."

"Thank you Doctor, thank you Doctor." Hong Xiu thanked the doctor nonstop and took out a small purse, handing it to her disciple who was following behind the doctor.

The doctor sighed imperceptibly and took his little apprentice with him.

This Second Young Madame was truly a person with a tough life.

After the doctor had left, Hong Xiu called for a little girl to help her boil the medicine. She also filled a basin with water and soaked the cloth in water before carefully wiping off Feng Ranchen's sweat.

The medicine was quickly ready. Feng Ranchen could vaguely feel someone helping her up, and then a stream of bitter medicinal juice filled her mouth.
