Chapter 4, Awakening.

As soon as this question was asked, the hand of the Dugu clan member, who was wiping, trembled: "This is your home, it is your own room."

Dugu looked at Yang Tian in silence, not at all resembling someone who was unconcerned. It was only because Xu Yinzong had been administering acupuncture for over ten consecutive days that her son had finally awakened. Dugu had an immense trust in Xu Yinzong's medical skills and could only nod in agreement

"Yes, madam." That maid stood up and was about to go out to receive the family punishment

What should be done? The Dugu family member was immediately anxious and restless. Previously, she was worried that her son would not wake up, and as long as she could save him, she did not care about anything else. Now that her son has awakened, she is anxious again upon hearing that he might forget the past.

Dugu Shi, seeing Yang Tian speaking, felt very pleased and personally brought the bowl over, placing it by Yang Tian's mouth, ready to feed him with a spoon. However, Yang Tian was not accustomed to such service and quickly took the bowl and spoon from Dugu Shi's hands. In one swift motion, he swallowed a large mouthful, but the porridge had just been cooked and immediately burned him quite badly. He quickly opened his mouth to blow on it.

"Mother, I am hungry!" Since he had made up his mind to play the fool, Yang Tian was no longer afraid to speak. He had no choice but to talk; after lying down for more than ten days, he had relied solely on the solitary and solitary Gu family to feed him some ginseng soup daily to sustain his life, and his stomach had long been growling with hunger.

Yang Tian should have a bit of self-contempt; for the sake of a few bowls of thin rice porridge, he insists on pretending to be young, calling a woman of similar age "mother." However, upon reflection, since this body is indeed the son of the woman before him, calling her "mother" is not a loss.

Yang Tian rubbed his somewhat full belly and had no choice but to abandon the thought of eating more. The Dugu family instructed the servant to take the bowl away, and sitting at the head of the bed, gently wiped the corners of Yang Tian's mouth.

Dugu felt a great pain in her heart and scolded, "Damn servant, bringing such hot porridge, do you want to scald the young master to death"

Yang Tian had already eaten three bowls and still wanted more, but the Dugu clan refused to give him any more. Earlier, Xu Yinzong had instructed that it was not advisable for Xuan Di to eat too much after just waking up. Two bowls were originally sufficient, and it was only due to Yang Tian's pleading gaze that he was given a third bowl, but the fourth bowl was absolutely not going to be given under any circumstances.

Xu Yinzong said: "This can only be adjusted gradually. It would be best to let the young master visit familiar places, which may help him recover slowly. Now that the young master is already better, there is no need for me in the residence. I have disturbed the household for more than ten days, and it is time for me to take my leave"

The young maid who just brought the porridge was greatly frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground, knocking her head and saying: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

Yang Tian felt a deep sense of compassion; how could such a delicate young girl be subjected to the family rules of ten strikes? He was uncertain about the severity of the family rules in this household. In his previous life, he had seen dramas where the family rules of wealthy families could lead to death. Just now, it was only his own impatience that had caused the situation, and it was entirely not the maid's fault. Overwhelmed with compassion, he forgot to feign ignorance and pleaded, "Mother, it was just that I was a bit hasty earlier; it is not the fault of others, so please let it go."

Yang Tian looked at Xu Yinzong's rosy complexion, and no matter how he looked at it, he did not seem to be over thirty years old. He felt a great disdain in his heart: "Don't think that growing a bit of facial hair can make you look older. Could this person be a quack? Oh no, I just heard that this body has been in a coma for over ten days. Could it be that he left behind some aftereffects from the treatment, and that is why I inexplicably took over this body?"

Xu Yinzong said softly: "Madam, I have previously mentioned that it is possible for the young master to forget things upon waking up."

The Dugu family is not so easily deceived The divine doctor speaks without consideration, my husband and I must express our gratitude to the divine doctor for saving our child. If we let the divine doctor leave just like that, wouldn't the Duke's return mean that this woman does not understand propriety? We kindly request the divine doctor to stay, so that when the Duke returns, we can express our thanks together.

Dugu saw that the girl admitted her mistake, yet did not let her off: "Since you acknowledge your error, go and receive the punishment of the ten families."

After Du Gu sent Xu Yinzong away, she returned to Yang Tian's bedside. Seeing her son's expression, she couldn't help but sigh. This son was already not as clever as the second son, and now he had forgotten the past. In the future, he would be even more inferior compared to Amo.

Yang Tian, having learned from the earlier lesson, could only eat the fragrant rice porridge in small bites. After a while, he finished a bowl and, holding the empty bowl, said to Du Gu: "Mother, I want more!"

When Xu Yinzong was speaking with the Dugu clan, Yang Tian quickly perked up his ears to listen intently. He was completely unaware of everything happening before him, so any information he could gather was valuable. Fortunately, he was currently in the body of a child, which made him more perceptive. Yang Tian was able to hear most of what Xu Yinzong said, and he secretly admired this divine physician for his skill, resolving to feign forgetfulness about past events.

Xu Yinzong, seeing that he could not escape, could only helplessly say: "Very well, I will wait for the Duke to return, and then I shall take my leave." This woman before him dared to seize even the emperor's nephew, and he could not afford to offend her

"Good, my dear, Mother will bring you something to eat soon," Dugu Shi suddenly widened her eyes, "You haven't forgotten, that's wonderful."

Xu Yinzong only held Yang Tian's pulse for a moment before letting go, smiling as he said: "It is of no concern, your young master is merely a bit weak; a little nourishment will suffice. In the coming days, prepare more congee for him to consume, and I assure you that within ten days, your young master will be lively and energetic."

Dugu looked at her son speaking clearly and logically, feeling greatly pleased in her heart. She shouted at the maid, "Since the eldest son has interceded, the family punishment is hereby waived. Hurry and thank the eldest son."

Xu Yinzong said: "Most likely it is."

Mother, I am hungry!" Yang Tian firmly decided to say these three words

Who is my mother, and why do I have no memory of her, and who am I

Xu Yinzong noticed the doubts of the Dugu clan, moved away from Yang Tian's bedside, and beckoned to the Dugu clan. The Dugu clan hurriedly approached Xu Yinzong.

Dugu immediately dropped the handkerchief he was using to wipe Yang Tian's face, his expression filled with panic, thinking that his son had already recovered, only to realize that he did not even know who he was.

Dugu thought for a moment and nodded, saying: "Indeed, the divine doctor has mentioned it." A shock ran through her heart, "Could it be that my son..."

Outside the door, a lively voice responded with "Ah," and a charming young girl entered, carrying a bowl of steaming rice porridge. The porridge was simmered to perfection, exuding a fragrant aroma that reached Yang Tian from a distance, causing him to swallow several times.

Clearly, it was the Duke's residence that sought to keep Xu Yinzong, yet it was turned into a narrative that he himself was disturbing the Duke's residence. Just now, Xu Yinzong observed Yang Tian's demeanor, fearing that there might be some aftereffects; if he were to become an idiot, he would be powerless to help and could only entertain the idea of extricating himself.

Yang Tian looked at the woman sitting at the head of the bed, filled with maternal love, and in his heart, he truly did not want to make her sad. However, he could not continue pretending to be foolish, so he had no choice but to ask: "Mother, where is this place?"

"Good, good," shouted the Du Gu family outside the gate, "Hurry, hurry, bring the porridge to the eldest son."

The maid bowed her head several times in the direction of Yang Tian, saying, "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master." The maid was sincerely expressing her gratitude, as the family rules of the Yang residence, though not lethal with ten strikes, would indeed leave one bedridden for ten days to half a month if one were to endure them.
