Chapter 2020: Chapter 2021: He Truly Poured His Heart and Soul into It

An Yiqing said, ”It was Haomiao who brought Fourth Brother back. According to Haomiao, Fourth Brother vomited blood while handling official duties, and he vomited several mouthfuls before fainting and couldn’t be awakened no matter how we tried.”

An Yiqi anxiously asked, ”Second Brother, what exactly is wrong with Fourth Brother?”

An Yilin and An Yizhi were also eager to know about An Yiyun’s condition and asked one after another. Their Fourth Brother not only vomited blood but also fainted; this had never happened before, and they were truly worried to death.

Su Yixing didn’t say anything immediately but instead checked on An Yiyun, gave him two brown pills, and then sighed, ”He truly has exhausted himself to the bone.”

After a pause, Su Yixing continued, ”Don’t worry. He fainted and vomited blood because his body couldn’t handle the excessive strain, but he should wake up later. However, from now on, his body cannot withstand any more exertion. Otherwise, our parents will have to send off their black-haired children with white hair.”

Seeing An Yiyun’s condition deteriorate to this extent, everyone present felt deeply troubled.

”We’ve long advised Fourth Brother not to take any official position, but he wouldn’t listen. If he hadn’t become an official, his body wouldn’t be like this,” An Yiqi said, filled with both anger and heartache for their Fourth Brother.

An Yiyun’s health was everyone’s concern in their family. If not to make An Yiyun a little happier, they would never have agreed to let him become an official.

Without waiting for others to speak, An Yiqi continued, ”This won’t do! We absolutely cannot let Fourth Brother continue to wear down his body like this. Once he wakes up, we’ll insist that he resigns and rests at home!”

An Yiqing also sighed, ”Fourth Brother once said he wouldn’t let our parents send off their black-haired children with white hair. This time, even if we don’t ask, he’ll likely resign.”

An Yizhi said, ”Regardless of whether he resigns himself or not, we can’t let him go on like this.” He would rather his Fourth Brother be unhappy than see him wear his body down to death.

Right now, all he wants is for his Fourth Brother to live.

Not just An Yizhi, everyone present wanted An Yiyun to survive.

Because of An Yiyun’s condition, the mood was very somber.

They all hoped An Yiyun could have a good body, but this was a deficiency he had from the womb, one that couldn’t be completely cured. Over the years, An Yiyun had worsened year by year by overextending himself, and now recovery is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

It was not possible to even hope that An Yiyun could recuperate to his former state.

The future An Yiyun could not endure any exertion at all. This is perhaps the price he pays for being so headstrong over the years.

Su Yixing sighed again before saying to Wang Haomiao, ”Haomiao, continue with your duties. Your Uncle Yun is still unconscious, and staying here is of no use.”

Wang Haomiao glanced at An Yiyun, still unconscious in bed, then nodded and said, ”Alright, I’ll leave first.”

”Wait a moment,” An Yiqing suddenly called to Wang Haomiao.

”Uncle Qing, is there something?”

An Yiqing replied, ”If Wen Ya asks about your Uncle Yun’s situation, comfort her well. As soon as your Uncle Yun resigns, there will be no worries. Just don’t let her worry too much.”

Wang Haomiao nodded understandingly and agreed, ”Alright.”

Then, Wang Haomiao left.
