Chapter 599 Jiang Ning's True Face
Miss Du glanced at Lu Yunjue quietly, then said nonchalantly, "Nothing, I just couldn't sleep well last night because I was thinking about the assassin."
Hu Xiner didn't believe that Miss Du was frightened by the assassin and was therefore overthinking things. Judging from her previous behavior of taking revenge, she didn't seem like the kind of person who couldn't sleep because of such a thing.
Moreover, if he was really worried about the assassin, why would he exude such a comfortable aura?
The couple looked at each other and smiled meaningfully at the same time.
Hu Xiner was not the kind of person who would be mischievous. She was afraid of breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between them, so she suppressed her gossipy thoughts.
After breakfast, Hu Xin'er announced, "Yun Jue, I've discussed this with your brother. It's really too much trouble for the two of you to take turns, you take turns a day. Why don't he guard for seven days, and you the other seven?"
Lu Yunjue nodded: "Thank you for your consideration, sister-in-law."
Hu Xiner thought about the trap she had set for him and couldn't help but laugh in her heart - Yun Jue, don't let down the emotional development plan that your brother and sister-in-law specially customized for you last night!
On the surface, she looked at Miss Du seriously and said, "Those people in the Zhou family are despicable. They will have to inconvenience Miss Du by having to stay in my humble abode for the next few days."
If it were any other time - or if Miss Du hadn't picked up the flower note, she would probably hesitate for a while, feeling a little awkward living in someone else's house.
But now, Miss Du smiled and said, "If this is your humble abode, then what is my place? With your protection here, I think my parents will be absolutely relieved."
Lu Yunjue seemed to sense something was wrong in the atmosphere, but he didn't know where this strange feeling came from, so he could only touch the small medicine bottle in his sleeve with some uneasiness.
This is the golden medicine that Miss Du gave him last night to treat his wounds.
After entering Mother Lu's room, Hu Xin'er finally couldn't help laughing out loud. "My dear husband, did you see how awkward those two were at the dinner table just now? How come I never realized how interesting they were when they were together?"
Lu Yunjue pretended coldly not to look at Miss Du.
Miss Du, on the other hand, was looking at Lu Yunjue in a covert manner.
The two people's eyes never meet. In fact, if they do, they will quickly look away, putting on a cold look that says, "Humph, I don't want to see you."
This is not a case of dislike for each other! It's clearly a rhythm of bickering.
A smile appeared on Mu Qing's lips: "If mother knew about this, she would definitely be very happy."
Speaking of Mother Lu, Hu Xin'er couldn't help but frown with worry: "Mom hasn't woken up yet, could something have happened?"
For Lu's mother, she specially invited a doctor to her house and took her pulse every morning and evening.
The doctor said that the pulse was normal, but because he had not woken up to eat normally, even if he was given the best tonic, he would inevitably become weaker day by day. If he did not wake up for a long time, he would probably stop breathing one day.
This is not the ending Hu Xiner wants to see.
Mu Qing's eyes were also shrouded in gloom. The two of them walked to the bed together and looked at Mother Lu who was sleeping on the bed.
Hu Xin'er bent down awkwardly and smoothed Mother Lu's hair. "Mom, did you know? Yun Jue has a lover. Wasn't his marriage what you worried about most in the past? Wake up soon, okay?"
As usual, she chatted with Lu's mother for a long time. Mu Qing sat quietly on the edge of the bed, resting her face on Lu's mother's hand, praying silently in her heart.
Suddenly, Mother Lu's fingers moved and her eyes slowly opened.
Hu Xin'er was surprised and happy: "Mom, you woke up?!"
Mu Qing quickly poured a glass of water for his mother and helped her get up and drink it.
Hu Xiner originally wanted to help, but was rejected by Lu's mother.
Just the simple action of standing up and waving her hands made Mother Lu sweat profusely.
After only a few days of coma, a lot of white hair had grown on her temples. Mu Qing felt sad when he saw this. He took the handkerchief beside the pillow and wiped the sweat off his mother's head.
Mother Lu took a few quick breaths and said, "This dream I had was so long..."
Hu Xin'er said happily, "Anyway, it's good that he's awake. Mom, how do you feel now? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Saying those words just now seemed to have exhausted all of Mother Lu's strength. She could only look at the two of them with gentle eyes, breathing slowly, trying to calm her breathing.
After the doctor came and prescribed some warming and nourishing medicine, she finally came to her senses: "Oh, right, I just heard in my dream that Yun Jue has a lover?"
"So this is why Mom woke up!" Hu Xiner couldn't help but feel fortunate that she often chatted with Lu's mother.
She told Lu's mother about Miss Du's story with a smile. When Lu's mother heard that her son's marriage seemed to be settled, she became much more excited.
But the good times didn't last long. After taking a bowl of medicine, Lu's mother fell asleep again. When Lu Yunjue hurried over, he could only see his mother's sleeping face.
Fortunately, no matter what, Mother Lu's awakening this time seemed to be the dawn of hope, which made everyone feel much more at ease.
However, just as the three of them were sitting in front of Lu's mother's bed, a figure quietly climbed over the wall and slipped into the Lu family.
She was dressed like a little maid. Although her face was covered with dust, it was not difficult to tell from her delicate appearance that this was Jiang Ning!
She walked hurriedly with her head down. The servants were all discussing the old lady's sudden awakening and had no time to pay attention to her.
When she heard the servants whispering, a hint of deep thought flashed across her eyes. It seemed... she had to act as soon as possible.
When she went to the City God Temple today, she heard a new order from above, stating that a big shot would come to Qingzhou City. If she waited until that big shot came, her chances would be even smaller.
"The old lady is the easiest person to attack in this family. Now that she is seriously ill and disturbing the Lu family, it is a good time for me to take action!" She thought secretly.
When Jiang Ning walked out of her room again, her usual dull look had returned to her face. She was holding a candied haws in her hand, and her innocent and lovely look made everyone who saw her fall in love with her.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that she, who usually has a low presence in the mansion, is actually the culprit who caused Lu's mother to fall into a coma.
"Thump, thump—" She stepped briskly on the ground and walked towards Lu's mother's room.
But at this moment, Lu's mother's room was opened and Hu Xiner walked out.
Lu Yunjue stood beside her: "Sister-in-law, let me see you off."
"I just went to the study to paint, why is it so precious? But you, go back and catch up on your sleep." Hu Xiner said angrily.
