Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1143: Don’t Blame Him for Being Ruthless

An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t dare to leave the four little ones’ side for a single step, remaining ever watchful beside the children who could not settle into a restful sleep.

Watching An Jing so distressed, Xiao Changyi was at a loss of how to comfort her; he could only hold her hand tightly.

In the middle of the night, the children who had drifted off suddenly came down with a high fever, whining uncomfortably without awakening.

No matter what, they could not be roused.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Changyi immediately sent for Gong Juechen.

Seeing the children like this filled An Jing with exceptional fear, afraid that she might lose them just like that.

As soon as Gong Juechen heard that the four little ones had spiked a fever, he hurried over to assess their condition.

After checking on the children, Gong Juechen was especially grave, knowing that this was not the time for jokes; he said nothing and went off to the side to write a prescription.

The less Gong Juechen said, the more agitated An Jing became, ”Gong Juechen, tell us the truth. Are Jing’er and the others...”

She choked up unable to continue her words.

It was then Gong Juechen spoke, his tone incredibly heavy, ”Jingjing and the others have severely disturbed heart meridians and such high fevers. They’re too young, treatment can’t be reckless. I can only prescribe some common fever-reducing remedies to see if they work.”

An Jing’s tears flowed like a broken dam. She didn’t say another word, instead just wept as she looked at her four children, burning up and flushed all over, crying continuously.

Xiao Changyi’s lips were tightly pursed as he intently watched the four little ones on the bed. Finally, with a stern face, he strode out to ask Meng Lanqing who stood at the doorway, ”Have you found out who the mastermind behind this is?”

He must make whoever scared his children like this pay dearly!

If his four children were lost, he would surely flay the perpetrator’s entire family alive!

Meng Lanqing had been there for a while, but since Xiao Changyi and An Jing were solely focused on the four children, he hadn’t reported the information, not wanting to distract them.

Now, as Xiao Changyi inquired, he immediately reported in haste, ”Not yet. However, we discovered one of the assassins had a red flame-shaped mark on the sole of his foot. If Chilin Kingdom isn’t responsible for this, then it’s an attempt to frame them.”

”Keep investigating!” Xiao Changyi was furious but not to the point of senselessly slaughtering the innocent.

But once he confirmed who the instigator was, they couldn’t blame him for being ruthless!

”Yes!” Meng Lanqing quickly took his leave to continue the investigation. So many assassins had infiltrated the General’s estate during the ceremony; it was time ’to deal with’ some of the General’s estate’s people properly.

Once Gong Juechen had finished the fever-reducing prescription, people hurried to fill the order and quickly prepared the medicine for the four little ones to drink.

It was difficult for the children to swallow the medicine, but An Jing and Xiao Changyi couldn’t bear to just watch the four little ones fade away, so they were forced to administer the medication.

Unfortunately, even after the children took the medicine, their fever didn’t drop in the slightest.

An Jing wept again. At this rate, even if the four little ones woke up, they would be left mentally damaged from the high fever.

Xiao Changyi also feared the children would be harmed by the fever and had long since ordered ice to be brought. As soon as the ice arrived, Xiao Changyi and An Jing placed the four little ones in wooden tubs containing ice water.

Ye Zhi was also helping on the side.

Ye Zhi supported one of the little ones while using ice to cool the child’s face, trying to bring down the fever.
