The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 261 Pillar

Zhao sat down beside him, her eyes fixed on her sleeping son. The expression on her face seemed a little dull, a complex emotion of worry and hope.

Shen Yan brought another basin of warm water and patiently wiped Song Yunfeng's legs, silently planning to change his bloodstained clothes. However, seeing that Zhao showed no signs of leaving, she was too embarrassed to do anything, fearing to disturb the quiet waiting.

Zhao's eyes followed his every subtle movement, which was a kind of silent companionship and support.

"Yan Yan, did you take seriously what your uncle said last night?" Zhao's sudden question broke the moment of silence.

Shen Yan paused slightly. This issue was finally put on the table.

Are you blaming her? Because of her, Song Yunfeng was in danger and almost lost his life!

Shen Yan's throat tightened, and she was almost suffocated by the full apology. She had never thought that those people would be so arrogant and actually hire someone to hurt someone!

Growing up in a society ruled by law, she underestimated the cruelty and danger of the world in the absence of ancient laws.

"I'm sorry..." She turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes in panic.

"In other words, you are in danger too?" Zhao asked immediately.

"What?" Shen Yan's eyes were slightly red and she looked at her in confusion.

"Don't go out these few days. You and Lin are always inseparable. Those villains may attack you." Zhao's voice was full of worry.

Shen Yan felt extremely wronged for a moment, and thought she would be blamed, but unexpectedly...

"Mother..." Shen Yan hugged Zhao tightly, as if she had found an outlet for her emotions.

She lost her parents when she was young, and there was not even a single photo left at home. Her grandfather said that he destroyed all of them to avoid any nostalgia. She looked at other children who had their parents by her side, and she was full of envy, longing to have a loving mother.

And this mother-in-law treated her like a close relative and was considerate to her. In the future, she would do her best to be filial and regard Zhao as her reborn mother. Even if she was separated from Song Yunfeng one day, she would become Zhao's adopted daughter and continue this rare friendship.

This was the first time that Zhao had experienced such intimacy. She had never hugged her own daughter Yuanyuan like this. This daughter-in-law was indeed different. Sometimes she was as strong as a lioness, and sometimes she was as fragile as a little girl.

"Well, I wonder when Lin will wake up? What preparations should I make now?" Zhao's expression was still a little confused.

Shen Yan stood up slowly, her voice gentle and methodical: "Mother, please go find some white radishes. When my husband wakes up, he needs to drink radish water to help his stomach and intestines pass gas. Only when the gas is smooth can he eat."

"Okay, then you take care of him here, and I'll go dig radishes." Zhao stood up. In fact, she also wanted to find something to keep herself busy so that she wouldn't be more anxious due to random thoughts in her spare time.

Although there was still some resentment in her heart, as she waited outside the door, the resentment gradually faded as the news that her son was safe gradually became clear. She was the woman her son loved, and she saved him at all costs. She was obviously not a person who liked to stir up trouble. There might be unspeakable reasons for the situation at that time.

How can a wicked person be reasonable? She should not blame her.

Zhao closed the door gently, while Shen Yan continued to clean up Song Yunfeng carefully and took out a set of clean clothes from the closet for him to change into.

Song Yunfeng lost too much blood this time. Even if he wakes up, he will need several days of recuperation to recover his strength.

She had to prepare some blood-replenishing food so that his body could recover as soon as possible.

Those villains... She would never allow them to have the slightest chance to infringe upon herself and her family. In this turbulent world, she knew that passion alone was not enough. So, she secretly vowed to combine medical skills with poison skills, and complement each other. When necessary... She was fully confident that she could act without leaving any traces. In this turbulent world, even the most perceptive detective would find it difficult to find any flaws in her. This was not because she was heartless, but in fact, she did it for self-protection and to protect the warm harbor - her family.

As the night fell and the stars disappeared, Song Yunfeng's body temperature burned the air like a blazing summer fire, making people anxious and uneasy. Shen Yan rushed over upon hearing the sound, quickly prepared a fever-reducing liquid, and fed it to him skillfully. Then, she disinfected it with delicate techniques and applied the precious golden wound medicine again, meticulously. She used the aged wine to carefully wipe his body, which was restless due to the high fever, again and again, until the warm aroma of the wine intertwined with the healthy glow on his skin, which seemed to dispel all the haze of illness.

Outside the window, the rain continued to fall all night long, as if telling a secret unknown to others. As dawn approached, the sound of the rain finally calmed down. At the same time, Song Yunfeng's enthusiasm also quietly receded, returning to its former tranquility.

Shen Yan was extremely tired, her arms were as heavy as lead, and she could hardly lift them. At this moment, Zhao gently pushed open the door, and saw Shen Yan, like a tired little frog, lying on the bed, falling asleep, with a look of barely perceptible peace on her face. And her son, Song Yunfeng, was turning his head, looking at her gently and affectionately with his peach blossom eyes that seemed to be able to capture people's hearts, with the light of rebirth flashing in his eyes.

"Lin'er, you're awake!" Zhao's red eyes became wet again, tears falling uncontrollably. She clasped her hands together, praying devoutly, her heart filled with endless gratitude to the Buddha and the gods. "Thank you for your protection..."

"Mother..." Song Yunfeng's consciousness was still hazy, and he was still a little confused about the fact that he was reborn. He never dared to imagine that he could escape the arms of death. So, he really walked through the gates of hell and came back?

"Lin'er! You scared your mother, wuwuwu..." Zhao couldn't hold back her excitement any more. She rushed forward, lying on the edge of the bed, staring at the child with tearful eyes who had made her despair and rekindled hope. Recalling the scene of being carried home silently yesterday, her heart seemed to be suffocated by a huge stone. At that moment, she felt as if the whole world was about to collapse, just like when she lost her husband many years ago, everything around her was swallowed by darkness. If anything happened to the pillar of the family, the eldest son Song Yunfeng, she really didn't know if she could continue to bear it. At this moment, the string in her heart that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed. Shen Yan kept her promise. Her son really returned to her.

"Mom, please stop crying." Song Yunfeng's weak voice sounded. He realized that his mother was really scared this time, which was why she lost her composure. As a son, he was full of self-blame and felt that he was really unfilial. He tried to struggle to sit up, but found that his body seemed to have lost all its strength and could not be controlled. An inexplicable panic quietly spread.
