"Master, you will definitely get better. You must witness my wedding with Luo Luo." Gu Boyuan said in a serious tone.
Jiang Chengfeng simply patted Gu Boyuan's hand, "I know my own health well, so I'm entrusting it to you."
Jiang Luoluo didn't want the two drama queens to continue acting here; she needed to move on to the next step of her plan.
She stood in front of Gu Boyuan with a pitiful look on her face, her big, bright eyes looking at his face. "Brother Boyuan, what happened to your face? It's covered in bruises. Did you get into a fight last night?"
Jiang Chengfeng then noticed and looked up. There were indeed bruises on both sides, but why did they look a bit like handprints?
Gu Bo touched his face from afar and stammered, "Last night, last night..."
Yao Shiyu quickly chimed in, "Brother Boyun was worried about Master's condition and was in a bad mood, so he drank too much and accidentally fell down last night."
Jiang Luoluo lifted her eyelashes slightly, "Brother Boyuan, please take good care of yourself. It's rare to see such filial piety from you. Father will surely be very touched."
When Gu Boyuan met Jiang Luoluo's ambiguous smile, for some reason, he found this cunning Jiang Luoluo particularly vivid and adorable.
Jiang Luoluo glanced at Yao Shiyu again, "Shiyu, you also need to take good care of yourself. I noticed you seemed to be having some difficulty walking just now. Did you fall down too?"
Yao Shiyu was speechless. She hadn't expected Jiang Luoluo to turn her anger towards her again. She ground her back teeth hard. Although she had applied ointment, her thighs were still aching slightly.
Yao Shiyu squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "I was worried about Master. I knelt in front of the Bodhisattva all night last night, and my knees are a little sore. Don't worry, Cousin, I'm fine."
Jiang Luoluo patted Yao Shiyu on the shoulder and chuckled playfully, "My cousin's filial piety is truly touching."
"Alright, it's getting late. Your parents aren't doing well right now, so let them rest. You should all go back to the barracks too," Jiang Luoluo said, giving them the order to leave.
Gu Boyuan said insincerely, "Luo Luo, you stay here and take care of things for now. There are many things to do in the military camp, but I will make time to come over. Thank you for your hard work these days."
Jiang Luoluo pretended to be a well-behaved little rabbit and agreed, "Brother Boyuan, don't worry, just be careful and don't fall again!"
Gu Boyuan was speechless, and he and Yao Shiyu left one after the other.
Dingdang stood at the gate and waved his fist at them, "Get lost!"
After dealing with one wave, another one comes along.
Several military doctors came again to check on Jiang Chengfeng and his wife and prescribe some medicine. They all agreed that although the high fever had subsided, the pulse was weak and feeble, which should be a sign of a final burst of energy before death.
Two lieutenants also came along, and Jiang Luoluo observed them carefully from the side.
When Vice General Liu saw the blood-stained handkerchief, a fleeting hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but Jiang Luoluo caught it.
Before long, it was noon. Jiang Luoluo's stomach was growling with hunger. She opened the chicken soup that Yao Siyu had brought, and the aroma was so enticing that she wanted to take a bite right away.
Jiang Luoluo swallowed hard and closed the food box again. She had to be careful with the things Yao Shiyu had brought.
Dingdang and Jiang Luoluo had lived in the manor for a while, so they could still cook a few simple home-style dishes. Right now, Dingdang had already stewed a pot of fragrant pork rib porridge.
The anesthesia had worn off, and Jiang Chengfeng and Duanmu Ling began to feel pain. Jiang Chengfeng had practiced martial arts for many years and was physically strong. Although the anesthesia had worn off, he could still grit his teeth and endure it.
This was quite strenuous for Duanmu Ling; at this moment, she didn't even have the strength to eat.
"So, any new discoveries, Luo Luo?" Jiang Chengfeng asked, enduring the pain as he chewed on a piece of rib.
"Dad, Liu Dayong is suspicious."
"Then what good ideas do you have to find him out?" Jiang Chengfeng asked Jiang Luoluo for her opinion without even realizing it.
"Father, I've already thought of a method. We'll start implementing it in two days, once you and Mother are feeling a bit better," Jiang Luoluo replied, taking a sip of the meat porridge in her bowl.
"Okay, I'll follow Luo Luo's arrangements." Jiang Chengfeng was truly treating his daughter differently this time; even he, a general commanding tens of thousands of soldiers, hadn't noticed anything amiss.
If Jiang Luoluo hadn't come to Yunchuan, the two of them would probably have lost their lives here. He was at ease leaving these matters to Jiang Luoluo to handle.
After Jiang Luoluo and Dingdang finished their meal quickly, she instructed Dingdang to brew some anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicine.
Jiang Luoluo helped Duanmu Ling sit on the bed and fed her pork rib porridge.
Jiang Chengfeng noticed the strangeness between Jiang Luoluo and Gu Boyuan this morning. Although she called him "Brother Boyuan," it sounded dry and the intimacy between them was long gone.
He felt that his daughter had grown up overnight and was no longer the little girl who used to chase after Gu Boyuan every day. This time, both he and his wife fell ill, and their eldest son lived too far away. It was Jiang Luoluo who came from the capital and took on this heavy responsibility.
He had assumed that Jiang Luoluo would rely on Gu Boyuan and follow his arrangements in everything. He had previously thought that his apprentice was like half a son.
But now, upon closer reflection, he realized he was wrong. Fortunately, Jiang Luoluo was decisive and efficient in both surgery and handling matters, which was what he wanted to see. This was the daughter he, Jiang Chengfeng, truly wanted.
In fact, Duanmu Ling had discussed this with him several times, saying that Yao Shiyu and Gu Boyuan had an extraordinary relationship. Jiang Chengfeng never took it to heart, because he felt that as long as his daughter was happy, that was enough.
But now, Jiang Chengfeng deeply realized that Gu Boyuan was really not good enough for his daughter.
