Chapter 136 The Old Man Wakes Up

"Zhiyi, will your grandfather wake up today?"

Shen Yaqin frowned and looked at the old man on the bed with a worried expression. She had thought that Jiang Peizhen had used every means to become a mistress because she really liked the old man, but she didn't know that it wasn't true at all.

Jiang Peizhen deliberately sabotaged the relationship between the old man and the old woman because she wanted to obtain important information from the old man. She even used despicable means to drug the old man, making the matter known to everyone and forcing Huo Zhongqing to marry her.

Feng Zhiyi glanced at her watch and nodded, "Yes! Grandpa should wake up soon."

"Grandpa has been poisoned by Gu for too long, more than 20 years. Although all the Gu worms have been removed, they have been dormant in his body for too long and have drained a lot of his vital energy. We need to give Grandpa a proper recuperation."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaqin and Lu Yunhai both breathed a long sigh of relief, and smiles returned to their faces.

Shen Yaqin immediately said, "Recuperation is a minor matter. As long as he's alright, that's all that matters. Aren't we moving back to Compound No. 2 soon? I'll personally take care of Grandpa's three meals a day then."

She wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting it to anyone else.

It's better to do it yourself. If she keeps an eye on things the whole time, there can't be any more problems, right?

"It's a good thing we came back early. If we had stayed in the countryside or had come back a year or two later, Dad would have suffered a lot more."

Lu Yunhai sighed with relief, and then added, "But the person we should thank the most is Zhiyi. If it weren't for her, Dad's Gu poison would have been in serious trouble."

"You're right, today's success is all thanks to Zhiyi!"

As Shen Yaqin nodded in agreement, she reached out to pull Feng Zhiyi's hand. She touched Feng Zhiyi's little hand, her eyes full of pride, "Old Master Yun was right after all. Zhiyi is our family's lucky star!"

After saying that, she couldn't help but add, "I'll have to burn a few more incense sticks for the ancestors of the Lu family another day to thank them for showing their blessings so that Ling Xiao could marry such a good wife. I've noticed that ever since Zhiyi married into our family, good things have been happening all the time."

Lu Yunhai nodded in agreement, “Indeed, we should burn incense to thank our ancestors, because it was their protection that allowed Ling Xiao to meet the right person and marriage when he was about to get married.”

Feng Zhiyi chuckled softly, "Dad, Mom, please stop praising me! If you keep praising me like this, I'll start to lose my bearings!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaqin objected.

She smiled and said, "That won't do. I'm going to praise her, praise her every day, and praise her to everyone I meet. I want all the neighbors living nearby to know that Zhiyi is an exceptionally good girl and a good wife!"

“Yes! That’s right!” Lu Yunhai echoed with a cheerful smile.

If it had been Feng Qiulan who married into the Lu family back then, to be honest, Lu Yunhai couldn't even imagine how Feng Qiulan would have messed up their lives.

After all, Feng Qiulan's character and conduct have always been considered very bad in their Honghe Village.

During this time, he and his wife would occasionally sigh, thankfully, two days before the wedding banquets for both families, Feng Qiulan and her mother suddenly changed their minds and refused to marry into the Lu family, so the bride was changed to Zhiyi at the last minute, otherwise...

Seeing her parents-in-law looking incredibly proud, Feng Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.

She's not a miracle doctor, nor is she a lucky star. It's impossible for her to say or do anything that will work. She just happened to be lucky enough to have a Gu King in her space.

Without Mini Bean, she dared to say that she could only cure three of the various poisons in her grandfather's body at most, and the Longevity Poison was the most difficult to cure. With her mediocre poison skills, she had no confidence at all.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

Grandpa is fine now. He just needs to rest and recuperate, and we can give him some ginseng and other medicinal herbs to help him recover. His body will gradually recover.

The three of them stayed in the room, chatting idly while keeping an eye on Old Master Huo. As they talked, they suddenly saw the old man's eyelids twitch, then move slightly, and then slowly open his eyes.

Lu Yunhai immediately rushed over, his voice filled with excitement and joy, "Dad, you're finally awake!"

Upon hearing the sound, Feng Zhiyi and Shen Yaqin walked over to the bedside. Seeing the old man who had opened his eyes, Shen Yaqin felt a pang of sadness and tears immediately streamed down her face.

"Dad, how are you feeling now? Are you alright? Is there anything bothering you?" she exclaimed with surprise and concern, tears streaming down her face.

Shen Yaqin hurriedly wiped her face haphazardly with her hands, but the more she wiped, the more her face became wet. In the end, she simply stopped wiping. Oh well, there were no outsiders around anyway, so no one would laugh at her no matter how hard she cried.

Huo Zhongqing composed himself and asked weakly, "What... happened to me...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man remembered that after having breakfast at the old house that morning, he was about to leave for a meeting at Zhonghai Pavilion when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and then fainted.

He fainted very suddenly.

"Dad, you almost scared us to death just now! Luckily, Zhiyi knows about Gu poison. She saved you. She removed all the Gu poison from your body. You're fine now, and you'll be alright in the future."

As Lu Yunhai spoke, he couldn't help but press his face against his father's hand and cry silently. The scene of his father collapsing just now had truly frightened him.

All the grudges and resentments that had been hidden in my heart for so many years vanished in that instant.

For him, nothing is more important than his father being alive. His mother has passed away, and he doesn't want his father to leave them too soon.

Seeing his son and daughter-in-law with red eyes, Old Master Huo opened his mouth to indicate that they should not worry, that he was fine. Then he turned to look at his granddaughter-in-law and reached out his hand to her.

"Grandpa, don't think about anything right now. The poison in your body has just been neutralized, and you are still very weak. You should get some sleep first, and we can talk about it after you've rested, okay?" Feng Zhiyi walked over, took his hand, and patted it gently.

Old Master Huo was getting on in years, and having just narrowly escaped death, his mental state was still very poor. He had barely held Feng Zhiyi's hand before falling asleep again.

Looking at the old man who fell asleep in seconds, Feng Zhiyi put his hand into the quilt, covered the corner of the quilt, and called Lu's father and mother to go out.

Now that the old man is awake and alright, everyone can finally relax and leave the bedroom to sit on the sofa in the living room.

The group had just sat down on the sofa when they heard a knock at the door outside the yard...
