Chapter 220 "Alas, my grandpa is old and useless, and can't help you..."
Xie Qinghuan thought for a moment and nodded:
"Indeed, Liao Yu'an was the person who benefited the most from this poisoning, so it's normal for someone to doubt him... So what did he say?"
Xie Zhiqiu pondered for a moment.
Squinting his eyes slightly, he recalled the scene at that time and replied:
“He said that with such a big incident happening in the Marquis’ Mansion, he was the one who suffered the most!
But he is also willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice's investigation. If the Ministry of Justice really finds any suspicion in him, he will definitely die to atone for his crime and follow his father and brother!
However, before he died, he would hand over all the assets of the Marquisate to the Crown Prince to fill the national treasury.
Those who wanted to take advantage of the changes in the Marquis' Mansion to gain some benefits will not get a penny..."
Xie Qinghuan was even more surprised when he heard this.
OK……
Such neither humble nor arrogant words actually came from Liao Yu'an's mouth!
The little follower who was bullied by Liao Yuzheng in the Imperial College...
"He said this to pretend to surrender to the prince, saying that he will continue to serve him just like his father and brother."
"yes……"
Xie Zhiqiu nodded.
Thinking of the pregnant Xie Nan, his eyes darkened again:
"I reported Xie Nan's matter to the Night King, and it was also related to this matter."
"Father is worried... that if the Liao family's side branches find out that Xie Nan is pregnant, they will take advantage of her?"
"Well, fortunately Xie Zhichun doesn't know about the Liao family's side branch, so he hasn't caused any trouble yet."
Xie Qinghuan nodded thoughtfully.
Persuaded:
"However, if it is true as my father said--
Liao Yu'an had been hiding his ignorance and simplicity before, but in fact he was very thoughtful and careful in his actions.
Then I will definitely be on guard against Xie Nan!"
Xie Zhiqiu nodded.
Don't think about it anymore.
"Okay, let's not talk about them.
Your grandfather has sent a lot of your favorite food to your house these days. He must have missed you a little.
If you have some free time, write a letter to your grandfather and ask your brother to deliver it for you."
Xie Qinghuan was a little confused.
"Grandfather missed me, why didn't he come to see me himself?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhiqiu lowered his eyelids.
She looked at Luo Jinyun again.
Luo Jinyun also looked away.
She was a little uneasy.
I vaguely guessed something.
She was under house arrest by the prince, and her grandfather had never shown up. This was totally unreasonable!
"What happened to Grandpa?"
She stood up, clenched her handkerchief, and asked Xie Zhiqiu.
Xie Zhiqiu did not answer.
She walked quickly to Luo Jinyun.
"Aunt, what happened to my grandfather? Tell me, aunt, do you want me to worry to death?"
Only then did Luo Jinyun look at Xie Zhiqiu.
He stammered and said:
"Your grandfather...he..."
She still hesitated.
"Hurry up and tell me, Auntie!!"
"He heard that you were bullied by the prince, so he went to the palace to argue with the prince.
Even though I didn’t even enter the palace, I still got so angry that I became sick…”
"What? Seriously?"
Luo Jinyun waved his hands hurriedly.
"Your father and I went to visit him, and it was nothing serious.
Your aunt has always taken good care of him, I think he will get better soon!
He just has a bad temper and is angry with himself, you don't have to worry..."
But Xie Qinghuan was still worried.
After all, my grandfather is so old...
He agreed with a smile.
She returned to her own courtyard, but asked Yu Yuan to take her to the general's mansion quietly.
Yu Yuan has always indulged her.
Without saying a word, he taught her to change into black clothes.
When it got dark, he took her back to the general's mansion.
Leap all the way.
Then he stopped outside the gate of Zang Feng’s residence.
The old butler was alert and discovered the traces:
"Who?!"
When he saw that the person coming was Xie Qinghuan, he was surprised and happy, and tears streamed down his face.
"Miss...Miss, why are you here? The old man has been talking about you...and you are really here!"
Xie Qinghuan saw him crying and snotting.
Not much to say.
"Where's grandpa? Take me over to see him!"
"Okay, I'll take you there right away."
The old butler brought Xie Qinghuan to the bedroom.
Knock:
"Grandpa, look, who's here..."
There was no response from inside.
The old butler opened the door on his own.
A strong medicinal aroma wafts into the air.
Xie Qinghuan also heard two old-fashioned coughs, which were weak.
If the old housekeeper hadn't led the way, she would have doubted...
Did I enter the wrong house?
After all, not long ago, when she met her grandfather, he was still full of energy...
He threatened to fight with Chu Yingji!
It's only been a few days, and already...
"Who is it... Is it, ahem, Jinshan who is back? The capital is in such a mess, ahem, you little brat... why don't you come back to quell the rebellion!"
As soon as Xie Qinghuan heard his grandfather's voice, his vision suddenly blurred.
Grandfather...
Even though he is so sick, he is still worried about the world...
She sniffed.
The old housekeeper turned around and comforted her with a wry smile:
"The old master has been talking about the master these days, and he is always thinking about asking the master to return to the capital to quell the rebellion..."
Xie Qinghuan took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
Go around the screen.
When I saw the shriveled old man on the bed, I couldn't stop crying.
"Grandpa..."
How did you become so thin?
As soon as I heard a familiar voice.
The little old man who had his eyes closed suddenly opened his old eyes.
The dark eye sockets are sunken and the lips are dry and flaky.
He stretched out his hand toward her with difficulty.
"Good...good grandson? Ahem, why are you here? Was it that jerk grandson...who released you from your confinement?"
Xie Qinghuan hurried over and shook his grandfather's dry hand with age spots on it.
"Grandpa..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she burst into tears.
Frantically felt for his pulse.
The pulse is stagnant and very weak.
Anxiety attacks the heart, liver depression and qi stagnation...
When the old man saw her crying, he couldn't hold back.
He comforted her with a trembling voice.
"Don't cry, my dear grandson, don't cry... Don't be afraid, Grandpa is fine, Grandpa won't die!"
"Grandfather...you will be fine..."
"Yes! Grandfather will not die! Grandfather is still waiting to see you, wearing a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe, on the day of your wedding..."
His voice was also a little choked.
All the depression from these days is stuck in my throat.
I really want to let it all out, but I don't know where to start...
He could only look at Xie Qinghuan, with trembling hands, and lovingly help wipe her tear-soaked little face.
The old housekeeper standing by felt his nose sore and couldn't help wiping away tears.
"Old Master, don't let your imagination run wild. You will definitely live a long life and accompany the eldest lady forever. In the future, you will also accompany the young master and the young lady..."
Xie Qinghuan nodded randomly and sobbed.
"Yes! Yes..."
The old general's throat also felt hot as he looked at Xie Qinghuan, who was crying.
He sighed and gave up on himself:
"Alas, Grandpa is old... Grandpa is useless after all and can't help you... Ahem, I can only wait for your uncle to come back and support you..."
And whispered:
"Once the news of my serious illness has been spread, your uncle will have a reason to return to Beijing... Don't be afraid, he will be back soon!"
Xie Qinghuan shed tears, nodded, and then shook her head.
"No... Grandfather is not old, Grandfather will never grow old..."
She threw herself on her grandfather.
He is really... so thin!
Even through the quilt, I could feel how skinny he was.
She knew after feeling her grandfather's pulse...
My grandfather didn't have any serious illness that could kill him, but his heart disease was difficult to cure.
He began to accept his old age...
Once you decide you are old, you lose your energy and your body starts to age faster...
