Chapter 995: Chapter 995: Legacy Awakening (4)

Mo Yan’s expression turned serious as he earnestly said, "Disciple will carefully heed Master’s teachings!"

Doctor Du stroked his beard and nodded, his eyes filled with affection for his disciple.

...

As Xue tuanzi had predicted, Cui Pingan didn’t regain consciousness until late into the night, and he was first discovered by Cui Qingrou, who was keeping vigil beside his bed.

Soon, Old Lady Cui received the news and, disregarding her maid’s attempts to stop her, insisted on hurriedly dressing and rushing to Cui Pingan’s courtyard.

Upon stepping into the room and seeing her grandson leaning against the headboard, weak yet able to talk normally with his daughter, Old Lady Cui’s eyes widened almost in disbelief that her grandson had awakened just like that.

"Grandmother!" Cui Pingan called out softly when he saw Old Lady Cui, his youthful face filled with guilt.

"Xiaoqi!" Old Lady Cui staggered to the bedside, bursting into tears of joy as she looked at her grandson who had indeed come to.

Cui Pingan reached out and tightly hugged Old Lady Cui, "Grandson has been unfilial, causing Grandmother worry."

Old Lady Cui gently pushed Cui Pingan away, touching his somewhat pale face and, smiling through tears, said, "It’s Grandmother’s fault, Grandmother shouldn’t have forced Xiaoqi, if there’s anyone to blame, blame Grandmother, blame Grandmother..."

Cui Pingan listened blankly to Old Lady Cui’s words, as if not understanding why his grandmother was saying this.

Old Lady Cui simply thought her grandson had just woken up and wasn’t thinking clearly yet, so she didn’t take his unusual behavior to heart.

However, Cui Qingrou knew there was a problem with her nephew’s memory. Unsure if it was a good or bad thing, she said to Old Lady Cui, "Mother, Xiaoqi seems to have forgotten quite a few things, should we have a doctor come and take a look?"

Old Lady Cui was startled and quickly asked Cui Pingan, "Xiaoqi, is what your aunt said true? Have you really forgotten many things?"

Cui Pingan shook his head and after thinking seriously for a while, he said, "Grandmother, I remember everyone, but I don’t remember how I fell unconscious. I always feel as if I had a very long and very real dream..." As he spoke, he couldn’t help but blurt out everything that had happened in the dream.

In the dream, the girl he loved could not bear him marrying someone else and left the family on the day of his wedding ceremony. She was dishonored shortly after leaving Jing City and threw herself into the river. Due to his selfishness, he married his cousin whom he did not love, ruined her reputation, and indirectly caused her tragic death. Even his grandmother and her family severed ties, leading his grandmother to die in depression. And he himself was locked in a sunless cellar, spending each day in regret until his life came to an end...

After hearing about Cui Pingan’s dream, Old Lady Cui’s face turned extremely grim, clearly feeling that it was more than just a dream, but a warning to them.

Cui Qingrou clenched her handkerchief tightly, her pale face forced into a smile as she comforted her mother and cousin, "Elders always say dreams are the opposite of reality, the bad things Xiaoqi dreamt will surely not happen! Mother, Xiaoqi, don’t worry."

Cui Pingan opened his mouth to say he wasn’t worried, but as soon as he was about to speak, an intense pain surged through his head. A strange voice in his mind kept reminding him that it wasn’t a dream, it was real, if he married his cousin, those tragedies were bound to happen, bound to!

"What’s wrong, Xiaoqi, what’s wrong with you?" Seeing their grandson (nephew) suddenly clutch his head in pain, the faces of the Cui family mother and daughter turned deathly pale.

Cui Pingan was in too much pain to speak, he could only keep shaking his head, trying to comfort his grandmother and aunt who had started crying in their worry.

The Cui family mother and daughter refused to believe everything was fine and were about to order a maid to fetch a doctor when Cui Pingan’s headache suddenly stopped, as if it had never hurt, which was very strange.

Old Lady Cui was still worried and ordered someone to call for the house physician.

After the house physician arrived, he thoroughly examined Cui Pingan and, finding nothing wrong with him other than weakness, reported truthfully to Old Lady Cui.

Old Lady Cui was still not reassured and was about to send a maid with a name card to invite the Imperial Physician over, but Cui Pingan stopped her, "Grandmother, I am not in much trouble now, please don’t worry. If you’re still concerned, let’s talk about it after daybreak."

Cui Qingrou also persuaded her, "Xiaoqi had a headache earlier, it may be due to oversleeping, now he’s well, and if we call for the Imperial Physician and he doesn’t find anything wrong, it won’t be good for Xiaoqi’s reputation."

As a concubine’s son, Cui Pingan had no right to request a consultation from the Imperial Physician. Previously, Doctor Du had used the excuse of feeling unwell to get the Imperial Physician with his name card. Such actions are common and do not cause a problem if not made public, but if it happens too often, people might talk.

Old Lady Cui hesitated for a moment and took their advice, temporarily dismissing the idea of calling the Imperial Physician and said to Cui Pingan with loving kindness, "Then let’s wait until daybreak to decide. If Xiaoqi feels unwell anywhere, you must tell your aunt, and you must not bear it alone."

"Yes, Grandson understands," Cui Pingan nodded with teary eyes, his heart filled with guilt. Not only for causing worry and trouble for his grandmother recently but also for the scolding and unforgiven regrets his grandmother endured before her death in that lengthy dream. He always felt that dream was too real, unconsciously integrating it into reality.

Early next morning, the bird that had been watching outside Cui Pingan’s window flew back to the Mo Family and told Mo Yan that Cui Pingan had woken up. Mo Yan was overjoyed, seeing another redline appear on the Merit Pearl, he couldn’t help but hug Xuetuan tightly and give her a big kiss.

"Hmph, Smelly Yanyan, you’re molesting someone again, you’re bad, you’re so bad!" Xuetuan squeezed out two tears, complaining. Although she quite enjoyed her master’s kiss, she pretended to be a virtuous woman assaulted by a lecher.

Mo Yan’s eye twitched, and he decisively tormented the creature that took advantage of him and acted cute a hundred times over!
