"It's alright, I'll come another day," Gongsun Qianru kindly insisted. "Lady Xiao, since Brother Chuan has been injured, I must trouble you to take good care of him."
"You're always so considerate," said Shen Yun with a smile. "Chuan'er is my only son; of course, I will look after him with great care. Besides, there are many family servants and servant girls in the Mansion, each one of them will be on high alert. Rest assured."
Just as Gongsun Qianru was about to leave, she heard two raspy words escape from Xiao Yuchuan's lips on the bed.
She couldn't make out what he said, but Shen Yun, who was closer to the bedside, heard him clearly.
"Lady Xiao, did Brother Chuan just call for me?" Gongsun Qianru returned to the bedside.
"No," Shen Yun hurriedly replied with an apologetic smile. "Chuan'er is talking in his sleep; don't mind him. You can go back."
She tried to pull her away.
At this moment, Xiao Yuchuan on the bed murmured again, "Wife... wife... wife... "
