Little Purple

Hu Bai frowned hard when she saw the pale face of her Third Sister, who had been lying motionless since last night.

When Hu Zi had opened the door before, she suddenly screamed and fainted on the spot. Fa Sui's office had just been renovated recently and only had two patients rooms so Hu Zi was brought to the sisters' courtyard, Azalea courtyard.

"Sister." Hu Cheng Se tapped Hu Bai's shoulder and gave her a cup of tea.

"Thank you," Hu Bai said as she drank the tea. "How did it go? Any good news from Doctor Fa?"

Hu Cheng Se shook her head. "Master Shou's condition is getting better, but there is no sign of Fourth Brother waking up again." Hu Cheng Se explained that Hu Ye woke up before but immediately went back to his comatose state a moment after.

"I see." Hu Bai was very worried. Their parents were not home so she felt that she was responsible for her younger siblings.

Just like the attack on Hu Ye yesterday, their parents were also ambushed by a group of assassins. Fortunately, Hu Bai had advised her parents early on to bring more than half of the house guards with them—three times the amount they usually traveled with—so their parent got out unscathed.

Hu Bai hanged her head and sighed heavily. Ever since Hu Zi suddenly fainted when she saw Hu Ye's body, Zhi Yu prohibited anyone but Fa Sui and himself from taking care of Hu Ye; Hu Bai was no exception to that rule. Zhi Yu only feared that Hu Ye's strange ailment might be contagious, so he was simply taking preventive measures.

"Sister, do you think that just Doctor Fa is not enough? Should we call another doctor?"

"That…"

"Is a no!" Zhi Yu said firmly.

"What?! Why, Chief?" Falcon said.

"Our Fourth Young Master is very precious, being the only male heir of the Hu family," Zhi Yu said.

"Isn't that more the reason we should call another doctor? Look, Fa Sui over there has been losing himself in his medical books for hours, but has still been unable to identify the Fourth Master's illness."

"I heard that." Fa Sui called from his corner

"We need someone of greater skill and knowledge."

"What?! I may not know this one illness, but I do know many others, and I doubt anyone else can figure it out easily either. Don't forget that I am the top graduate of the academy!"

"You, the top graduate? You certainly don't act like it."

"You—!"

"Stop it!" Zhi Yu had a vein popping in his forehead.

"The Fourth Young Master is lying next door, do not disturb him."

"...Yes, Chief," they both said simultaneously.

Zhi Yu sighed heavily as he walked out of the office.

"No. Stop it, Lei." Jin Min tried to free himself from Jin Lei's clutches.

"Come on, big brother, this is going to be fun!" Jin Lei smirked.

Jin Lei forced his older brother to venture into the flower garden where the girls were. They did not immediately reveal themselves and greet the guests, just watching from a safe distance. Jin Lei scanned the crowd of young ladies for the two misses from the Qing family.

All of the girls were so pretty, wearing the best clothes and using the best perfumes.

"Hmm… It seems that they are not here yet." Jin Lei said, his face holding a disappointed expression.

"Give me a break, will you?" Jin Min said, brushing away Jin Lei's hand. "They are not here. Let's go back now."

"Wait, brother, come back!"

"The First and Second Young Miss of the Qing family." The servant announced.

Hearing this, Jin Lei looked back and saw the two young girls walking out of the carriage. His breath caught in his throat at the sight of them.

Jin Lei could not help but praise their beauty silently. Jin Lei then grabbed Jin Min's hem and pulled him. "Look, brother, those are the Qing Sisters! Look, both of them have a different level of beauty than the rest of the guests! Which one of them you like the most?"

Jin Min turned his head and saw both girls standing beside Jin Yin. His eyes widened and his gaze immediately focused on one of the girls.

Jin Lei, having never seen his brother like that, immediately tried to trace his line of sight and guess which one person was lucky enough to be able to get the attention of the crown prince. "Ah, I see. That girl, right?"
