After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 79 Without any politeness

At this moment, Yuan Yutong entered the room and saw her older brother Yuan Zhirong, who had already woken up. Although she felt disgusted, she quickly composed herself and went to the bedside table to place the medicine on it.

Several days have passed, but Yuan Zhirong's condition has not improved much. His physical foundation has been severely damaged, affecting the recovery of his injuries.

It seems that Yuan Zhirong is really doomed!

With the body's foundation ruined like this, what future is there to speak of?

Yuan Yutong still couldn't quite understand the situation.

Clearly, Yuan Zhirong should have made great contributions on the battlefield and become a general who protects the country. How did he become so useless?

It was because she had witnessed Yuan Zhirong's current physical condition firsthand, and knew that Yuan Zhirong's future was ruined and he had become a cripple, that Yuan Yutong became even more worried.

Are the scenarios she knows all true? Will they happen again?

The mere fact that Yuan Zhirong's future is ruined is enough to disrupt the subsequent plot.

Although she was very confused, when she met her older brother Yuan Zhirong's gaze, Yuan Yutong quickly adjusted her expression and asked with concern, "Big brother, are you feeling any better?"

"I've brought over the prepared herbal medicine, brother. Do you want to drink it now, or do you want to wait a while?"

"These medicinal soups were prescribed by Physician Chen. My elder brother needs to drink them on time so that his body can recover better."

Although she felt that her eldest brother Yuan Zhirong was beyond saving and would be a good-for-nothing for life, wasting such a promising future and wealth, Yuan Yutong had only been back in the Yuan family for a short time and still needed to maintain her persona. She would continue to do what she should do for her eldest brother Yuan Zhirong.

No matter how disappointed or contemptuous she felt towards Yuan Zhirong, Yuan Yutong maintained a flawless facade.

It was just a matter of bringing some medicine; the maids would carry it to the room, and she would bring it in. It wasn't difficult at all, and Yuan Yutong didn't mind spending a little more time for Yuan Zhirong.

Yuan Yutong did this not only to show the rest of her family, but also to show her relatives.

The bodyguard she had sent out to deal with Lü Xinyan hadn't returned yet, which made Yuan Yutong very worried. She was afraid that her family would turn against her, be disappointed in her, or even hold her accountable.

In order to maintain her image as a sensible person, Yuan Yutong has been taking care of Yuan Zhirong as much as possible these days, in order to mislead others and prevent them from blaming her for the incident involving the bodyguard.

After all, that bodyguard was originally assigned to her to handle part of the plan.

When that guard went out, he claimed to be handling some business, but secretly he also wanted to deal with Lü Xinyan first.

Yuan Yutong's arrangement should be enough for her to handle the investigation by her family members.

Even after making these arrangements, Yuan Yutong still felt somewhat guilty and had to continue using the excuse of taking care of Yuan Zhirong to lessen the suspicion surrounding her.

Even though Yuan Zhirong often didn't appreciate her kindness and even deliberately made things difficult for her, Yuan Yutong still persevered.

This performance certainly earned Yuan Yutong the favor of the rest of the Yuan family.

However, Yuan Zhirong was in a terrible mood at the moment. Hearing Yuan Yutong's words, he didn't appreciate them at all. He just snorted coldly, endured the pain, looked at Yuan Yutong with a mocking expression, and said coldly, "What, you've been hoping for me to be in a bad mood? You wish I would be even worse off?"

"Can't you see whether I'm alright or not? Why ask such a pointless question? You're just here to show off, to flaunt your good health, and to mock me for still being injured?"

"Ha! Even if I haven't fully recovered, I am still the eldest son of the Yuan family, and that status will not change! You're not qualified to see me make a fool of myself or suffer!"

Yuan Zhirong didn't feel embarrassed at all when he vented his anger on Yuan Yutong.

Yuan Yutong has lived in Ningshui Village for so many years. Although she changed her luck and fate and helped the Yuan family, she was still in a rural area and lacked the proper upbringing of a young lady from a prominent family. As a result, she was somewhat mercenary and stingy in many of her actions.

This is something that Yuan Zhirong finds very distasteful.

Even though Yuan Yutong has been taken back to the Yuan family, Yuan Zhirong will not treat her with much courtesy.

Now that Yuan Zhirong is in a bad situation and has a bad temper, he is even less likely to suppress his anger.

Of course, it wasn't just Yuan Yutong; the other illegitimate daughters in the Yuan family also failed to catch Yuan Zhirong's eye.

In Yuan Zhirong's view, they were all just people to be sent for marriage alliances in the future, to benefit him.

Yuan Yutong is the same!

After being scolded, Yuan Zhirong tilted his head, glanced at the bowl of medicine, and said coldly, "Bring me the medicine, I'll drink it now!"

"How can you be so clueless as to take care of me?"

"If you really can't do things or take care of people, then don't come here pretending! I can save myself some trouble by leaving it to the maids."

The pain and the sense of despair caused by his illness made Yuan Zhirong increasingly irritable, and he treated his family members poorly.

Because Yuan Zhirong suddenly became incompetent, and it was all his own doing that he wasted such a good opportunity given to him by his family, the Yuan family could only send someone else to the front lines to claim credit. However, the results were not as good as expected, which made his family very dissatisfied.

Under such circumstances, the Yuan family also harbored resentment towards Yuan Zhirong.

In addition, Yuan Zhirong had been in a bad mood and became increasingly irritable in his interactions with others, often swearing at people, which angered many people, who tried to avoid getting close to him.

Such a change was immediately noticed by Yuan Zhirong, a very sensitive person, and his mood worsened even further.

This time, when he saw Yuan Yutong bringing him medicine, he was still suffering greatly and couldn't even sit up. Taking medicine was always a very troublesome thing. Yuan Zhirong's emotions had already broken down, and he was also rude to Yuan Yutong.

In addition, his injury and deteriorating physical condition made him unable to vent his emotions, which made it even harder for Yuan Zhirong to accept.

If it weren't for the fact that his health would improve slightly after each dose of herbal medicine, Yuan Zhirong's attitude towards Yuan Yutong would probably have been even worse.

In this house, only Yuan Yutong still comes to bring her medicine now; the others basically don't show up anymore, and Yuan Zhirong is still a little scared.
