Chapter 411: Could this be a last gasp?
Taotao was extremely happy, her clear laughter was filled with pride.
Qiao Xuan was also proud and felt emotional in her heart. This was the celebrity effect. Her husband owed the eldest son of the Xie family a big favor!
However, Young Master Xie is not the kind of person who tells lies with his eyes open. Since he has started to praise his husband, there must be something praiseworthy about his husband.
So, you are pretty sure of passing the imperial examination next autumn?
Qiao Xuan was overjoyed.
There is no better news than this!
The next day, the four of them had breakfast together.
The literary gathering continued today. Shao Yunduan didn't drink much yesterday, and after a night's rest he was completely sober now. During breakfast he smiled and asked where Qiao Xuan and Taotao had gone yesterday.
Qiao Xuan didn't mention anything about the manor, she just said she went out of town for a walk.
Seeing Shao Yunduan looking over and about to speak, Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "We are just in the suburbs. We are just walking around where there are people. We will definitely not go far!"
Shao Yunduan also laughed, and then gave up, "Don't go to a remote place."
After breakfast, Shao Yunduan and Xiaoqi went out. Qiao Xuan and Taotao stayed in the inn for a while and then went out shopping.
There are quite a few nice scenic spots in the city, which are worth a visit and leisure, and are enough for two people to entertain themselves.
In the manor outside the city, the unconscious master was quickly rescued.
The master had been seriously injured in an accident before. Both of his legs were disabled and other body functions were also damaged to some extent. He spent most of the day lying in bed drowsy, and coma or contractions were commonplace.
There are also times when the condition is relatively better.
At such times, if the weather was good, he would sit in his wheelchair and ask the servant to push him out for a walk. His favorite place was the forest of precious trees in the garden that he had planted one by one more than 30 years ago.
When the master woke up, he saw his wife sitting in front of the couch with red eyes. He smiled at her and said, "This is an old problem of mine. Look at you, you are not used to it yet!"
The lady forced a smile and said, "How can I get used to this? Master, please be good in the future and don't scare me."
She was not afraid of taking care of him, not afraid of staying in the garden to accompany him in a boring and monotonous way, but she was afraid that he would die, faint and never wake up.
The doctor said that his body was already very weak and his internal organs were severely damaged. He had been relying on precious medicinal herbs to prolong his life over the years, but in fact his condition was still getting worse little by little. One day, his condition would deteriorate to the point where his body could no longer bear it, and at that time, his life would come to an end.
The lady didn't dare let him know these words, but they were a heavy burden on her mind, as if there was a knife hanging over her head, and she didn't know when it would fall.
Especially over the past year or so, his health has deteriorated worse, and any slight disturbance would make her jump with fear.
However, although he was in a coma today, the master was in good spirits. He ate a few more bites of dinner and drank half a bowl of soup.
"Maybe it's because I haven't been out for a long time. It seems that going out is good. I feel much better physically and mentally!"
When the lady heard this, instead of being happy, she was frightened!
Could this be a last gasp?
She forced a smile and said, "After such a long period of treatment, I think there has been some improvement. That's good."
That night, the eldest lady slept in the bedroom next to the master and hardly dared to close her eyes all night.
