Chapter 141. Dad Lianshan goes online, Wu Xia exits
Giving advice, it’s truly a skill!
In order to open up Brother Liu’s heart about Qing’er, Shuzhen has been exhausting herself with tales of old miseries.
Spending half the night away from home, leaving Little Lian’en with Lianshan, she has no idea how that rough old man handled the little one’s hungry crying in the morning.
The more Shuzhen thought, the less assured she felt, so she hurried home, determined to rescue her husband from the baby’s cries.

Her admiration made his handsome face turn red, a warm satisfaction filled him like a sip of hot sweet tea: "Wife, you’re back! How is Brother Liu? Feeling better?"
"Yes, the fever has subsided and he’s awake. I and Second Brother talked to him endlessly, and his spirit has improved.

Shuzhen spread out her hands, "But this way, Brother Liu’s attention is diverted, leaving him with no time for those chaotic thoughts that were driving him into a corner.
This guilt and self-blame had pushed him into sickness.
