Old Master Qin dismissed Gu Zhou and Qiao Nian upon noticing his tense expression, then went to check on the injured Chen Qing. Gu Zhou departed for home to calm his overly emotional grandmother, while Qiao Nian contacted her brothers for rare magnolia-bark essential for Madam President's treatment, learning her eldest brother had some ready. Lina, emerging worried about her mother's headache and Gu Zhou's demeanor, learned of the medicine's scarcity but was reassured by Qiao Nian's family resources, with Qiao Nian inviting her to the Lu family home and affirming their bond.

Upon hearing Qiao Nian's words, Lina smiled and nodded. But the smile on her face slowly disappeared as she spoke, Nian Nian, I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

I want to stay by Mom's side lately. Grandpa Qin mentioned today that he can cure Mom's illness. My thoughts are all about Mom right now. I'm afraid... By the end, Lina appeared hesitant, as though she had more to say but held back.

Noticing Lina's state, Qiao Nian smiled and shook her head. I know something's bothering you. You won't enjoy yourself anyway. Better to rest early. Unless something comes up, Grandpa will treat Madam President tomorrow. You're

Madam President's spiritual support. You can't collapse.

Lina gave a shy smile. Nian Nian was always so perceptive.

Qiao Nian pulled Lina into a hug, softly patting her back. In a gentle tone, she reassured, Don't worry, it'll be okay. Everything will improve.

Qiao Nian's comforting words carried a magical effect, slowly soothing Lina's restless heart. With a smile, Lina nodded and softly replied, Okay.

Meanwhile, at the Lu family residence.

Lu Zhu stepped out of the study and spotted two servants walking past. He noticed the Chinese medicine they carried. Hold on.

The servants quickly halted. Spotting Lu Zhu, the one in front smiled hastily. Eldest Young Master.

Lu Zhu eyed the magnolia bark and furrowed his brow lightly. Take these two pots to my study.

The servants were a bit taken aback by Lu Zhu's instruction.

Song Yu enjoyed great favor in the Lu family. The household staff had watched her grow up. Learning of her peculiar ailment, they felt deep concern. Then, hearing that Eldest Young Master secured magnolia bark to cure Sixth Miss's sleep issues, they rejoiced for her.

Eldest Young Master, when will you deliver it to Sixth Miss?

Lu Zhu's face darkened instantly at the servant's query, a flicker of sorrow in his dark eyes. You're so talkative. Though only three words, the pressure from Lu Zhu made them bow their heads silently. They rushed to deliver the Chinese medicine to his study.

Lu Zhu observed them leave the magnolia bark and entered the study by himself. He shut the door, took a seat, gazed at the two pots of herbs, and sank into contemplation.

Qiao Nian sped along the road. She arrived at the Lu family home in no time. What should have been a two-hour drive took her just one hour.

The guard lit up with a wide smile upon seeing Qiao Nian back. Eldest Miss, welcome home!

Qiao Nian gave a slight nod in response. She hurried into the villa. Heading directly to Lu Zhu's study upon arrival. His study sat on the second floor. As she climbed the stairs, Qiao Nian overheard two servants whispering near the second-floor corner.

Eldest Young Master first told us to place the herbs he found for Sixth Miss in her room. Why the sudden change?

I don't know. Best not to meddle in Master's affairs. Sigh, Sixth Miss hasn't slept properly for several nights.

Enough chatter. Back to work!

Qiao Nian's face stiffened briefly upon catching the servants' words. Then she proceeded to Lu Zhu's room.

In Song Yu's room.

Auntie Cao entered carrying fruits. Seeing Song Yu on the sofa, script in hand, her eyes gleamed slyly as she commented, Sixth Miss, I heard Eldest Young Master found a herb for your insomnia.

A hint of smile appeared in Song Yu's eyes at Auntie Cao's words.

Popping a grape into her mouth, she replied, Brother's always looked after me. I'll thank Eldest Young Master soon.

Sixth Miss, you might be celebrating prematurely. Eldest Young Master planned to send the herbs to your room, but suddenly had them taken to his study instead. Recalling the servants' talk, Auntie Cao feigned gravity. Maybe he finds the herbs too precious now and won't give them to you.
