Chapter 1252 Let Her Accompany (1)

Shu Lang seemed to sigh something, but the sound was a little low, and Ruan Jiaojiao could not hear it clearly even though she stood on tiptoe.

Xu Xu in the room walked to her side without knowing when. Ruan Jiaojiao felt a shadow cast in front of her and immediately shrank back.

Turning around, Xu Xu was looking at her silently.

Ruan Jiaojiao immediately grinned ingratiatingly. Shu Lang and Qin Qing were still talking below, but Ruan Jiaojiao did not continue to listen.

After returning to the room, Ruan Jiaojiao and Xu Xu washed up together and lay on the bed. Ruan Jiaojiao looked at Xu Xu's figure on the other side through the screen and fell asleep unknowingly.

She slept soundly, while on the other side, the lights in the Yuan family villa were bright.

Since the day Shu Jie left the Yuan family, Mrs. Yuan's life seemed to have entered a countdown.

Her life was slipping away, and she was already at the end of her life, but she kept her eyes open and refused to close them. She kept looking at the ceiling, as if she was looking at something through the thick wall.

The old lady was seriously ill, and Yuan Hui had called back all the young people in the Yuan family.

Now the second and third daughters-in-law are serving in the house.

The second daughter-in-law moved out of the Yuan family's old house a long time ago. She would occasionally come back to visit when she lived in the city a few years ago, but she rarely came back since she moved to Changling.

In her impression, Old Madam Yuan had always been healthy and kind, but now when she saw Old Madam Yuan lying on the bed, she just felt a little scary.

Old Madam Yuan had lost a lot of weight, and her cheeks were sunken, but the most terrifying thing was her eyes.

Generally, the eyes of the elderly are cloudy and white, but the eyes of Old Madam Yuan in front of her were not only sunken, but also dark, like an abyss that could pull people in.

The second daughter-in-law didn't even dare to look into those eyes.

She lowered her head and said to her sister-in-law beside her: "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with Mom's eyes? I have seen so many patients in the hospital, but I have never seen anything like this."

The third daughter-in-law was lowering her head to cool down the medicine bowl. Hearing this, she raised her head and glanced at Old Madam Yuan on the bed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard footsteps behind her.

She saw from the corner of her eye that it was Aunt Liu who came in, and immediately swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Aunt Liu was the dowry of Old Madam Yuan, and she had been with Old Madam Yuan all her life. Perhaps because she had been a widow for many years, she had an indescribable taste in her way of dealing with people. The four daughters-in-law of the Yuan family were all very afraid of her.

Now that she saw Aunt Liu coming in, she closed her mouth even more tightly, not wanting to say anything, in order to avoid being caught doing something wrong and being scolded like a needle hidden in a cotton ball.

Mother Liu came in with a basin. She placed the basin on the table beside Old Lady Yuan's bed, washed the towel, and then wiped Old Lady Yuan's hands on the bed, and said to the two people behind her: "Second Young Master's Nanny and Third Young Master's Wife, go and have a rest. I'll be the one guarding here."

Upon hearing this, the second and third daughters-in-law wanted to be polite, but when they looked up, they met Mother Liu's calm eyes, and immediately held back everything.

One of them said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mother Liu," and turned to leave the room.

As soon as they left the room, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Old Lady Yuan burned incense too hard, and most people couldn't stand it.

After the two of them left, Mother Liu closed the door of the room, looked at the window again, and then walked to Old Lady Yuan's side.

"Madam, do you need a lady to accompany you?"
