Chapter 984: Chapter 984 Princess Fuyun Notices Something is Wrong (1)

After Cui Pingan was reborn, he subconsciously refused to recall anything from his previous life, as if only by doing so the guilt and regret that had been buried in his heart for years would cease to exist.

However, a voice deep within him told him that those tragedies were real, and that his actions were merely self-deceptive! That day, a single sentence from Old Lady Cui set off the tragic events of his former life, forcing him to face the mistakes he had made.

He blamed himself for all the wrongs that led to those disasters, believing that his own greed had caused the death of the woman he loved, and brought unhappiness to his cousin’s marriage, ultimately leading her to an early grave. The weight of two lives bore heavily on his heart, and one rebirth was not enough to forget them all.

This illness struck without warning, fierce and unrelenting, all because Cui Pingan had been avoiding the memories of his past life. He was possibly heading down the same path again, yet he could not think of a way to change course. That deep sense of powerlessness stimulated him, leading to his sudden collapse, trapped in the misfortunes of his past life, unable to extricate himself.

The Cui family had consulted more than a dozen doctors over the past few days, even inviting several Imperial Physicians from the palace. They all believed that Cui Pingan’s condition was psychosomatic, which was the most difficult to treat, relying solely on the patient to find his way out of it.

These days, Cui Pingan had been suffering from intermittent high fevers. If the fever continued, even a child knew it could cause mental impairment or even threaten life. The doctors and Imperial Physicians were of course aware, but the fever-reducing medicines that had been prescribed were so numerous they could have been meals. After feeding Cui Pingan, there was no effect. Sometimes, he would vomit the medicine right after ingestion, and the fever would become even more severe.

Mo Yan had only given him a small bottle of some medicine, and it calmed Cui Pingan down, stopping the delirium, and gradually reducing his temperature. Just with this ability, she had convinced Old Lady Cui and Cui Qingrou, who now believed she could surely cure their grandson (nephew).

Therefore, when Mo Yan inquired about what happened to Cui Pingan after he returned that day, Old Lady Cui hesitated for only a moment before telling her everything. In fact, knowing that her grandson’s illness was psychological, she had been pondering over the words she had spoken that day. She was certain that as soon as she had mentioned bringing Miss Fangcao over and arranging for her grandson to marry the granddaughter of his elder brother, her grandson had started showing signs of distress.

In these past few days, Cui Pingan had kept calling out for these two people, which further confirmed Old Lady Cui’s suspicion. However, she could not for the life of her understand why those words provoked such an intense reaction in Cui Pingan, which was completely at odds with his character and usual behavior.

This was also what Mo Yan could not comprehend.

Cui Qingrou, standing to the side, also couldn’t fathom it. Looking at Mo Yan, she tentatively asked, "County Lord, Ping An stayed at your estate for a month. Did he, did he ever say anything to you?"

Mo Yan recalled for a moment and suddenly remembered the day Cui Pingan had asked her if she believed in past lives. At that moment, she had suspected that Cui Pingan had been reborn. She had even cautioned him not to casually reveal his secrets to others.

Now, it seemed he was indeed reborn. This life had not brought him any major setbacks, but who knows about the past life? He kept calling out the name of his beloved girl and his cousin; perhaps the key lay with these two people.

The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, although such things were too fantastical to believe. Mo Yan decided it was best not to mention her thoughts, so she nodded at Cui Qingrou, saying, "He often talked about his days living on the estate in the South, and he mentioned Miss Fangcao the most."

At these words, Cui Qingrou’s eyes reddened as she looked at Cui Pingan lying in the bed, unable to speak.

A child of just a few years, sent away by his own kin to an estate thousands of miles away. Even if it were unavoidable, even if he hadn’t been forgotten by his family, surely in the child’s heart there must be resentment, loneliness, fear, right?
