The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 89 Grandfather’s illness

Outside Huairou Pavilion, Su Changqing stood for a moment and carefully arranged his clothes.

 As he took steps forward, the expression on his face had become gentle.

 “Madam, I’m back.”

Hearing Su Changqing's voice, Sun Jiarou, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror and carefully tracing her eyebrows, didn't react at all. She didn't slowly put down her eyebrow pencil until she finished tracing her eyebrows.

 This is extremely rare in normal times.

Su Changqing's eyes flashed with doubts. On weekdays, whenever he appeared, Sun Jiarou would put down what she was doing to serve him, no matter what she was doing. What about today?

“The Marquis was so happy to be away that he didn’t even return home on New Year’s Eve.”

In the bronze mirror, Sun Jiarou's eyes were filled with coldness, covering up the pain in them.

 After being together for twenty years, no matter how calm she pretended to be, her heart was still broken.

She thought that her husband, who would be a couple for the rest of her life, already had another woman.

　　Hit it from her for so many years!

Sun Jiarou's tone was full of resentment. Su Changqing thought, yesterday was New Year's Eve and he didn't come back, so it was right for Sun Jiarou to be angry.

“Madam, it’s my fault, but look, what did I bring you?”

Su Changqing took out a hosta from his cufflinks, stepped forward and put it on Sun Jiarou's hair.

He looked at the woman in the bronze mirror and said with a smile: "Madam is still as beautiful as before. I knew this hosta would suit Madam very well."

"Yeah?"

Sun Jiarou felt so cold that she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her mood calmed down a bit.

 She turned around and looked at Su Changqing: "Does the Marquis have anything else to say? If not, I want to rest."

Such a cold reaction confused Su Changqing, "Madam, but you don't like this hosta?"

“No, I’m just a little tired from keeping up with Yun’er last night.”

Sun Jiarou shook her head and added: "This hairpin is very good."

“As long as Madam likes it, I have some things at hand, so I’ll go to the study first?”

After Su Changqing finished speaking, he turned around and left without any intention of staying.

Looking at his leaving figure, Sun Jiarou raised her hand and slowly took off the hosta.

 The hosta in her palm was glowing, and she couldn't help but squeeze it tightly.

 “Madam, be careful what you do.”

 Mother Li was worried.

Sun Jiarou let go of her hand and smiled bitterly: "In the past, he also deceived me like this, right? It's a pity that I am blind and never noticed it!"

"Madam, I can't blame you." Nanny Li looked at Sun Jiarou, her eyes full of unbearable, "Even the old slave has never noticed it! Let alone Madam, after all, that man is your husband, how can he Will a wife doubt her husband?"

Just thinking about what Su Changqing did, Grandma Li was really furious.

Even, Madam’s answer just now was clearly that the hairpin was good, but Su Changqing actually thought that Madam meant that she liked it?

So perfunctory, she really thinks her wife is easy to bully!

“Mom, please put this hosta away, as well as the ones he gave me in the past, put them away, I don’t want to see them again!”

 “Yes, ma’am.”

 After lunch, there was an endless stream of people coming to Su Mansion to celebrate the New Year.

Sun Jiarou wanted to stay to entertain, so only Su Ye accompanied Su Leyun to Sun's mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

 When he arrived at Sun Mansion, Su Leyun couldn't help but be distracted for a moment when he saw the deserted appearance in front of the door.

It turns out that the Sun family’s defeat had already been foreshadowed.

 “Yun’er? What’s wrong with you?”

Su Leyun came back to his senses, looked into Su Ye's worried eyes, and shook his head.

 “Nothing, let’s go in.”

 After entering the house, both Su Leyun and Su Ye noticed something strange.

 Is the house a little too quiet?

The brother and sister looked at each other and walked towards the main hall in confusion.

Before he could wait, he saw the old housekeeper walking over in a hurry. When he saw Su Ye and Su Leyun, he was stunned for a moment.

"Young Master, Little Miss, why are you here?" The old housekeeper patted his head, "I almost forgot, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Young Master, Little Miss, please sit in the main hall for a while, and I will call the Master. "

Su Leyun noticed something was wrong. The old housekeeper was clearly about to leave the house just now, and the anxiety on his face could not be concealed.

 “Uncle Yang, what happened?”

"This..." Lao Yang looked embarrassed. He felt unhappy because he didn't want to complain. He gritted his teeth and said, "The master didn't let us say it."

 As they reached the outside of the house, Su Leyun and Su Ye both stopped.

 In the room, my grandfather Sun Shao's muffled groans as he endured severe pain were particularly clear.

 Both of them had red eyes.

The ancestors who have been stronger for half a lifetime will suffer so much when they are old!

Su Leyun took a deep breath and suppressed the tears in her eyes. She reached out and knocked on the door.

 The sounds in the house stopped.

 After a moment, Sun Shao's deep voice sounded, "Who?"

 “Forefather.”

Su Leyun and Su Ye shouted.

After a long time, Sun Shao opened the door. The expression on his face showed no trace of the pain he had just experienced.

 “Why are you here?”

“Grandpa, my brother and I both know it!”

Sun Shao's expression darkened and he explained: "That guy Lao Yang actually exaggerates. It's just a minor injury, it's not a problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Leyun held Sun Shao's hand and listened carefully to his grandfather's pulse.

Looking at this scene, Sun Shao was startled, "Yun'er, do you know medical skills?"

 “Grandpa, I can cure your illness!”

Su Leyun looked at Sun Shao with bright eyes.

 But there was a throbbing pain in my heart. My grandpa had been ill for nearly three years. The attacks were extremely painful, but my grandpa endured it for three full years!

How could she not feel sad?

Su Ye looked at Su Leyun, "Yun'er, are you sure?"

"Hmm." Su Leyun met his grandfather's gaze and said, "Grandpa, let Yun'er help you."

Sun Shao looked at Su Leyun's expression with a hint of nostalgia, "You are very similar to your grandmother... Let's talk first, it's cold outside."

 When we entered the house, it was empty.

There are no vases to decorate, and there is nothing arty about it. There is only a bookshelf filled with military books.

 This is the house where my grandfather lived.

“Yun’er, do you know about my illness?”

Sun Shao asked.

Su Leyun nodded, "Grandpa, do your hands and feet hurt every time it rains? You have no appetite for eating, and you even vomit after eating a few mouthfuls? Do you still have blood flowing out when you go to the toilet?"

  “Exactly.”

Sun Shao couldn't help but be a little surprised. Su Leyun could tell so many things just by checking his pulse. It seemed that he didn't just start learning medical skills after returning to the capital.

 Did you learn it in Jingzhou?

 But how did she learn such a place?

 “This disease is rheumatism.”

Su Leyun came to a conclusion.

“The doctor who treated me said the same thing.”

Sun Shao had no doubts at all now. He believed that Su Leyun had really learned medical skills.

Su Ye quickly asked: "Yun'er, how to treat it?"

“There is no way to cure rheumatism at once. I can only prescribe a few patches of medicine for my grandfather to take care of himself.”

“I’ve taken that medicine too, but it has no effect. Let’s forget it.”

Sun Shao shook his head helplessly. If this were not the case, he would not have kept it secret.

It is precisely because there is no way to cure it that he is unwilling to speak out, which makes people worried.
