Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Rong Qis expression turned grave. Abandoning treatment now would compromise my medical ethics. If you persist, Ill have no choice but to discuss this with Grandpa. Im beginning to suspect youre intentionally trying to discredit my medical expertise.

Mrs. Ye Sr. was so infuriated by Rong Qis words that she struggled to catch her breath.

Reluctantly, she endured another session of Rong Qis painful needle treatment. The servants winced just watching it.

Mrs. Ye Sr.s cries of pain echoed through the room, her body drenched in sweat. When the session finally ended, she slumped into her chair, utterly drained. I believe Im cured now. You dont need to come back. Please, dont come back! The last few words were hissed through clenched teeth.

Rong Qi raised an eyebrow. Are you certain you wont need further treatment? Are you fully recovered?

Mrs. Ye Sr. was too exhausted to respond.

Rong Qi nodded, understanding her silence. In that case, I wont bother you after today. If you ever need me again, you know where to find me. Ill keep this needle safe for you.

Then, Rong Qi placed the needle down and exited the room. As Mrs. Ye Sr. caught sight of the needle, her eyes widened in terror. Get rid of that thing! Throw it out now!

Outside, Rong Qi couldnt help but smirk at Mrs. Ye Sr.s reaction.

Mrs. Hong was waiting for Rong Qi. She helped him back to his quarters, grumbling about Mrs. Ye Sr.s early morning demands. Madam, you should be resting at this hour. Its unreasonable to be summoned so early. She doesnt even appreciate your efforts.

Rong Qi simply nodded in agreement. Yes. Ill have some congee when I get back, then rest.

In the tranquil courtyard of the old mansion, the servants began their morning routines. Suddenly, an ominous series of flapping sounds broke the silence, resembling a dark cloud descending.

Even Little Faye, Old Master Yes pet, was startled by the noise. The bird flew towards Rong Qi, calling out incessantly in a panicked tone.

Idiot, idiot!

Mrs. Hong, fearing Little Faye might harm Rong Qi, reached out to catch the bird. However, Little Faye kept its distance, continuing its frantic calls.

The butler, noticing the commotion, swiftly brought a cage and escorted Little Faye to Old Master Ye.

What was that? Mrs. Hong asked, gripping Rong Qis arm tighter.

Rong Qi squinted into the distance. It looks like a murder of crows.

Crows? But why here, and so many of them? Ive never seen anything like it before in Ye residence.

The servants who had just woken up witnessed the spectacle too. The crows circled a particular roof before disappearing as abruptly as they had appeared, their behavior unsettling.

A chill ran down Rong Qis spine. The crows had been circling the roof of her and Ye Nanshens residence, and not far from there, Ye Rong and Madam Sus abode.

Why were crows swarming over our roofs?

Mrs. Hongs voice trembled. Madam, Ill make sure those who saw this keep silent. Dont worry.

Yes, Rong Qi replied absently, her thoughts elsewhere. She had been closely monitoring Ye Rong these past days, fearing some unforeseen threat.

However, three days pa.s.sed without incident. The Ye residence resumed its usual routine, with Ye Rong continuing his medicinal treatments. Everything seemed normal.

Yet, the sight of the crows at the Ye residence couldnt be dismissed.

In the days that followed, whispers of the strange occurrence spread in hushed tones among the mansions inhabitants. No one dared speak openly of it, but the fear was palpable. Servants began pairing up for safety, and a sense of unease hung over the Ye residence like a heavy shroud..
