The doctor came to the house soon. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Li Tingxue intently. After looking her up and down carefully, he stretched out his fingers and gently placed them on her wrist.
After a moment, the doctor finally let go of the pulse and slowly stood up. He stroked the sparse beard on his chin and said calmly:
"Madam's pulse is stable, and there's nothing serious. I think it's probably due to recent emotional fluctuations. You just need to rest and recuperate, and avoid overexertion and worry. I'll prescribe some tranquilizing medicine. Take it regularly, and you'll slowly recover."
After saying that, Jiang Mianmian thanked the old doctor. The eldest lady said a few polite words, picked up the medical box, bowed to Jiang Mianmian, and then respectfully sent the old doctor out of the marquis's mansion.
At this time, Li Tingxue was lying quietly on the bed. His originally pale face had gradually regained some color, and he looked much more energetic than before.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Mianmian who was sitting beside the bed and said softly, "Mother, I'm still feeling a little uneasy right now. Please stay here with me for a while. As for my parents, I'll have to ask my husband to entertain them on their behalf."
Jiang Mianmian was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "Okay, Tingxue, just focus on recuperating. I'll stay here with you for a while."
She didn't know why, but she just felt a little strange. Ever since Li Tingxue was "possessed" by someone last time, she seemed to be particularly fond of sticking to her, and she wanted her to follow her wherever she went.
At first, Jiang Mianmian was a little uncomfortable with this, but over time, this close relationship made the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law more harmonious.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but smile slightly and said softly, "I'm glad you're okay. Take a good rest these few days! Don't worry, I'll take care of Le'an for you!"
"Well, I'll have to trouble my mother to take care of him. Besides, I'm most relieved to have Le'an with you. It also makes me feel more at ease..."
In the bedroom, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat facing each other, and the atmosphere between them seemed particularly harmonious and friendly. They chatted and laughed, and bursts of cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.
Li Tingxue looked at her mother-in-law in front of her. After spending some time with her, she gradually discovered that her mother-in-law was not as difficult to get close to as before.
As long as you put aside your pride a little and say a few nice words to your mother-in-law to coax her, she will no longer give you the cold shoulder.
After all, the mother-in-law is just a soft-hearted person. As long as you treat her with sincerity, you will get her kind response.
…
At the same time, in the spacious reception room, Shen Xiuyan walked in.
He immediately saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law sitting there with bewildered expressions, staring at each other.
If people who don’t know the situation saw the scene just now, they would probably mistakenly think that they are not their biological parents!
However, only they knew in their hearts that all this was because their daughter had been at the door, winking at them.
The daughter's anxious expression clearly told them not to talk too much, and also suggested that it would be better for them not to follow her for the time being.
Otherwise, how could the couple watch their daughter suffer without doing anything?
At that time, the couple would have rushed into the house to see their daughter. They couldn't just sit there anxiously and stare at each other like they are now.
When Li's mother saw her son-in-law, Shen Xiuyan, coming over, her face immediately showed anxiety. She rushed over and asked him impatiently:
"Tingxue... How's Tingxue? Is she okay now? My heart is almost in my throat!"
Seeing this, Chen Xiuyan quickly comforted her: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, Tingxue is fine. The reason she lied about her heart pain just now was actually just to prevent you from revealing any flaws.
She did this solely to keep my mother here, so that I and you two could explain the reason."
Hearing this, the Li couple looked at each other in confusion.
They really couldn't understand what their son-in-law and daughter were up to, so they asked in unison: "Why did you two insist on keeping your mother-in-law here? What's going on?"
Facing their questioning gazes, Chen Xiuyan took a deep breath and slowly began to explain: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I wonder if you two noticed what my mother just said?"
Li's father and mother nodded at the same time, but then said slightly euphemistically: "That's because your mother's brain seems to be..."
Father Li continued, "Yes, your mother was just talking to herself, and her words were so confusing and incoherent that we couldn't understand what she was saying."
Shen Xiuyan shook his head gently, his face full of seriousness and earnestness. He slowly said, "Father and mother-in-law, please allow me to explain. In fact, my mother's illness is not serious.
Instead, she gained a magical ability beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is because of this special ability that she can predict a person's future.
I believe my father-in-law and mother-in-law have already seen that my mother is like one person playing two roles, talking to you on one hand and complaining in her heart on the other.
Hearing this, Li's father and mother couldn't help but look at each other, with a hint of doubt in each other's eyes, but they nodded at the same time, indicating that they agreed with what he said.
After all, they had just seen it with their own eyes. Jiang Mianmian's behavior just now was really like that of a lunatic.
If their daughter hadn't told them in advance, they might have revealed some flaws, and Jiang Mianmian would have seen through them.
Li's father and mother were still confused about what Shen Xiuyan said next, about the future and magical abilities.
They understood every word of these words, but when they were put together, they were simply too unfamiliar to them, like being in a fog and unable to make sense of it.
But from their son-in-law's words, they seemed to vaguely understand something, and it seemed that something was wrong, but they just wanted to know if Jiang Mianmian had...
"Son-in-law, please tell your mother-in-law what kind of strange disease your mother has. Why is it so strange!" The mother-in-law stared at Shen Xiuyan with a puzzled look on her face, eager to know the answer.
Shen Xiuyan felt a headache at this moment. He couldn't explain this matter clearly. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said slowly:
"Mother-in-law, my mother wasn't sick at all. Oh, this is truly miraculous. Actually, my mother somehow possessed an extremely powerful ability.
That feeling is just like the peerless martial arts secret manuals in martial arts novels. If you practice it to the extreme, you can even turn rivers and seas upside down and move mountains and fill the sea!"
