Wei Ting took a few steps forward and blocked Su Xiaoxiao behind him. He met the other party’s deathly gaze with a cold expression.

Xiahou Yi’s gaze also paused on Wei Ting’s disguised face for a moment.

“Second Uncle.”

At this moment, Xiahou Qing also came to the wheelchair. He bent down and pulled up the thick blanket that had slipped off his body. “It’s so cold outside. Why did you come out?”

Su Xiaoxiao sized up Xiahou Yi from behind.

He was afraid of the cold.

However, it was not strange for his body to be so weak.

Seeing that Xiahou Yi did not answer him and turned to look at Duanmu Yun of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Xiahou Qing introduced, “Second Uncle, he’s Duanmu Yun, Yun Shuang’s son. Behind him is his Madam.”

With that, he said to Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting, “He’s my second uncle.”

Wei Ting cupped his hands and bowed. “Second Grandfather.”

His attitude was upright and his tone was gentle, as if the eye contact just now did not happen.

Su Xiaoxiao also greeted, “Second Master.”

Xiahou Qing said to the two of them, “It’s a little difficult for my second uncle to speak.”

Actually, there was no need for him to explain to Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting. The two of them knew very well that he was doing it for Ling Yun’s sake.

“Second Uncle, I’ll push you in.”

Xiahou Qing personally pushed Xiahou Yi into the house.

This was Xiahou Qing’s bedroom. It was very spacious but not luxurious. It emitted an ancient wooden fragrance everywhere.

Upon entering, they saw a wide mountain and river screen. His bed was behind the screen.

On the right was the study. There was a desk and several bookshelves, and a few landscape paintings of the island.

Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze landed on a large bow hanging on the wall.

Granny Nie said casually, “When Second Grandfather was young, he was a good archer and was extremely good at riding and shooting.”

Xiahou Qing nodded when he heard this. “That’s right. Unfortunately, ever since Second Uncle fell ill, he hasn’t touched a bow and arrow again.”

Xiahou Qing pushed Xiahou Yi behind the screen, but Xiahou Yi was unwilling to lie on the bed.

“Let’s take his pulse like this.”

Xiahou Qing said to Elder Qiu and Granny Nie.

Elder Qiu first took Xiahou Yi’s pulse and checked his body.

In between, he needed to take off his clothes.

Xiahou Yi seemed to have long been numb and was not ashamed that he had exposed himself in front of others without any dignity.

Su Xiaoxiao was a physician, so there was naturally nothing to be embarrassed about.

On the other hand, Xiahou Qing looked at Su Xiaoxiao in surprise.

Thousand Mountains Island was different from the customs of countries like the Great Zhou. There were many martial arts sects here, and there were many women who did not care about trifles.

However, it was rare for someone of Su Xiaoxiao’s age to be so calm.

Xiahou Yi was only in his early fifties. He was younger than Elder Qiu and Granny Nie, but he looked like he was about to die.

This was the first time Su Xiaoxiao had seen such a thin and withered body after coming to the alternate world.

It was difficult to imagine that such a body hid a huge ambition to deal with the Wei family.

Could it be that she had made a mistake?

Su Xiaoxiao muttered to herself.

No.

She could not be deceived by appearances.

However, she still could not figure out why he plotted against the Wei family.

From another perspective, what benefits could plotting against the Wei family bring him?

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t understand.

She inadvertently glanced at Wei Ting and realized that he was focused on sizing up the landscape on the wall.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao’s advantage was revealed.

She came to Xiahou Qing’s side obediently and said softly, “My brother likes to collect antique paintings. I didn’t expect Second Grandfather to like them too.”

Everything could be placed on Ling Yun’s account!
