Those who remained in the front hall, watching Song Yu'er depart, were left speechless.
"What are we going to do, Master?" Madam Baili asked her husband, her face etched with worry and her eyes filled with fear.
The Song family was not to be trifled with in the Western Regions. If the Baili family offended Song Yu'er, it would be equivalent to offending the entire Song family. Without a doubt, the Baili family would then face disaster.
"I don't know what to do. If Su'er's illness can be cured, he will inevitably have to marry that Song Yu'er. How can I push my child into a fire pit..." Father Baili also frowned, deeply troubled.
Before Madam Baili could respond, a voice from outside the door answered, "I disagree!"
The Baili couple looked up to see Baili Jingxuan.
Following closely behind him, Baili Mengran chimed in, "I disagree too!"
The two of them had never thought highly of Song Yu'er, finding her extremely detestable. If she were to marry into the Baili family, she would undoubtedly turn the household upside down.
To prevent Song Yu'er from marrying Baili Su, they had come to reason with their parents and express their thoughts.
"Jingxuan, Mengran, why are you here?" Madam Baili asked.
"Father, Mother, the way Song Yu'er was making a scene in the hall just now was like a madwoman. Someone like her is not worthy of my second brother!" Baili Jingxuan gathered his courage and loudly voiced his opinion.
He then plopped down onto a chair, awaiting the Baili couple's response.
"Mengran, you also disagree with Song Yu'er marrying into our family?" Madam Baili asked sternly.
"Mother, Song Yu'er is too hateful. Every time I see her, I feel annoyed. I don't want her to marry into the Baili family," Baili Mengran also stated her thoughts.
As she finished speaking, Baili Mengran sat down on a nearby chair.
Seeing that both her children disliked Song Yu'er so much, Madam Baili didn't know what to do and could only look at her husband with a sigh.
She whispered, "Old Master, we cannot afford to offend the Song family. What should we do?"
The old man watched as the entire Baili family disagreed with the marriage between Song Yu'er and Baili Su, and he too was at a loss.
He could only sit on his chair, supporting his forehead with his hand, his gaze fixed on the ground, as if deep in thought, or perhaps utterly helpless.
In Old Master Baili's view, the most pressing matter was that his son, Baili Su, was still unconscious. He did not know if his illness could be cured.
If it could be cured, the marriage could proceed as planned. But if Baili Su could not be cured, even if Song Yu'er wished to marry him, it would be in vain.
Even if she caused a commotion at the Baili residence every day, with Baili Su lying ill, it would be the entire Baili family who suffered.
With this thought, Old Master Baili spoke again, "As long as Su'er's illness can be cured, then let Song Yu'er marry in!"
Hearing his grandfather's dejected words, Baili Jingxuan retorted, "Father, my second brother is so outstanding. That Song Yu'er is a jinx. She is not worthy of my second brother at all. You absolutely cannot agree to this marriage just like that!"
Baili Mengran, standing beside him, quickly added fuel to the fire, "Father, you really cannot agree to this marriage. If Song Yu'er marries in, our Baili family will be ruined!"
Old Master Baili remained bewildered and appeared to have a terrible headache.
Madam Baili also grew anxious and hurriedly pressed, "Master, Song Yu'er is still causing trouble in the hall. What should we do?"
As she spoke, she looked at her husband with a face full of distress, her heart also filled with worry.
Song Yu'er was notoriously difficult to deal with, let alone the Song family.
"Oh, don't rush me, everyone. Let me think!" Old Master Baili exclaimed, his tone filled with helplessness and even more so, despair.
From the moment he heard the servant report that Song Yu'er had come to make a scene, his brow had been furrowed without a moment's rest. It was clear he was in a great predicament.
Seeing him so helpless, the Baili family members fell silent, their expressions filled with resignation and complaint.
Baili Jingxuan and Baili Mengran no longer tried to persuade their grandfather, merely sitting on their chairs with sighs, their hearts brimming with a hundred grievances.
In their minds, they had already thoroughly cursed Song Yu'er.
Gu Qianying and the others, seeing the Baili family's predicament, offered no advice, but quietly sat to the side, sipping their tea. Her mission was to save Baili Su, not to be their family's strategist.
Ouyang Qinglin, on the other hand, watched with keen interest, eager to see how the Baili family would resolve this matter.
As for Baili Jingxuan and Baili Mengran, if they could, they would have gladly killed Song Yu'er with a single blow.
If it weren't for her, the Baili family wouldn't be so troubled.
However, considering the Song family's influence, the Baili family could not afford to offend them. With this in mind, the two could only suppress their anger within their hearts.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Qianying and Ouyang Qinglin were discussing how to treat Baili Su.
They went to Baili Su's room. Gu Qianying proposed, "How do you think we should treat Baili Su?"
After speaking, she looked at Ouyang Qinglin beside her, her expression very serious.
"I don't have any better methods for now, but what we need to do is to get him to wake up first. Once he's awake, we'll find a way for further treatment!" Ouyang Qinglin replied earnestly.
The two of them looked at Baili Su lying on the bed. Although he could speak, his face remained pale and bloodless, and they too became troubled.
"Do you have any medicine that can stabilize his condition first, so we can continue to find a solution later?" Ouyang Qinglin asked.
"If I had such a thing, I would have given it to him long ago. Why would I wait until now?" Gu Qianying replied with a helpless expression.
Immediately after, Gu Qianying walked towards Baili Su.
She took his pulse and found that his condition was worsening.
After covering him with a blanket, Gu Qianying prepared to go and brew medicine for Baili Su, making a move to get up and leave.
At that moment, Baili Su suddenly coughed up blood, drenching his entire neck.
Startled, Gu Qianying quickly took his pulse, while Ouyang Qinglin also reacted, picking up a nearby towel to wipe away the blood from Baili Su's neck and mouth.
Then, Ouyang Qinglin asked with concern, "What's wrong with him?"
He had been fine just moments ago, so why the sudden spitting of blood? This was not a good omen.
"His illness is too severe. Quickly notify the Baili family!" Gu Qianying said in a serious tone, her expression grave.
Following this, Ouyang Qinglin opened the door and walked out.
He reached the doorway and happened to see the Baili couple walking towards them. He quickly informed them, "The second young master has coughed up blood!"
"What?" Old Master Baili asked anxiously, then rushed into Baili Su's room.
Soon, everyone in the mansion who heard about him spitting blood assumed it was merely a final surge of energy before death.
