Su Huaiyue looked at her and her expression softened. "I didn't mean to be mean to you just now. I was just anxious for a moment, so my face looked a little gloomy. It's not your fault. Grandmother is old, so these symptoms are common. Don't worry, and I won't blame you. Go and get some rest."
Su Huaiyue's gentle voice rang in her ears, and Cuishuang's tears were more like pearls that had broken off the string. "Miss Su, I really didn't mean it. I usually follow your instructions and pay special attention to the old lady's food, clothing and daily necessities. I don't dare to let her eat any of the things you mentioned. I don't know why this happened all of a sudden..."
"Okay," Su Huaiyue patted her shoulder, "It's okay now. I'm here. Go and rest. You still have to take care of grandma tomorrow. If you collapse from exhaustion, who will I ask for help?"
After Su Huaiyue coaxed her for a few words, Cui Shuang's worries gradually dissipated and she went to sleep.
When the sky turned pale, the old lady finally slowly opened her eyes.
"Grandma, how do you feel?" Su Huaiyue hurried forward and asked with concern.
The old lady smiled slightly, her voice weak but full of relief: "Huaiyue, my old bones can still hold on, thanks to you."
Su Huaiyue gently held the old lady's hand and said, "Grandma, don't let your imagination run wild. Take good care of yourself and everything will be fine."
The old lady sighed and said, "I'm afraid my days are numbered. The Wei family is relying on you now. You must get along well with each other and make the Wei family flourish."
Su Huaiyue felt heartbroken, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Grandma, don't say that, you will definitely get better. The Wei family is complete with you, and we still have to return to the capital together."
The capital city, that was something the Wei family couldn’t even imagine.
The old lady just smiled slightly, closed her eyes and rested.
Su Huaiyue continued to stay by the bed, never leaving.
The Zhongjianwei family came to ask a few questions, and when they saw that nothing was wrong, Su Huaiyue sent them all down to the shop to clean up.
The two little ones were noisy when they woke up in the morning. Su Huaiyue asked another maid, Cuiping, to take them out to play, so as to prevent them from making noise and preventing Madam Wei from getting a good rest.
By noon, the old lady was in better spirits. She was able to lean against the pillow and half lean on the head of the bed. Her complexion was much better than when she just woke up. With a faint smile on her lips, she chatted with Su Huaiyue.
"Huaiyue, go call Che'er over later. I have something to tell you." The old lady suddenly said.
Although Su Huaiyue was a little confused, she nodded in agreement.
When Su Huaiyue went to look for Wei Che, she was told that he had gone out early in the morning to deal with the matters concerning the opening of the shop. Thinking of the old lady's anxious tone, Su Huaiyue asked the servants to go and find Wei Che quickly.
Not long after, Wei Che hurried back, with beads of sweat on his forehead, probably because he was in a hurry.
"Grandma, are you looking for me?" Wei Che strode into the room and looked at the old lady with concern.
The old lady looked at Wei Che with eyes full of love and beckoned him to come closer, "Che'er, you and Huaiyue come sit next to me."
Su Huaiyue and Wei Che looked at each other and sat down on the edge of the bed as instructed.
The old lady held the hands of the two men and was silent for a moment, as if she was considering how to start.
"Grandma, just say whatever you want to say." Su Huaiyue said softly.
The old lady sighed and spoke slowly, "I know my health condition well, and I'm afraid I don't have much time left. What worries me is you two. You're both good children, but matters of the heart are extremely complicated. I'm afraid that after I'm gone, no one will be able to make decisions for you."
After hearing this, Su Huaiyue and Wei Che's faces unconsciously showed a hint of sadness.
If my sister-in-law and brother-in-law were together, they would probably be criticized by the world.
The Wei family is a famous family. Although they were framed by villains and ended up here, they would never allow others to talk about them behind their backs.
"Grandma, don't say that. You will definitely get better." Wei Che's voice was a little anxious, and his eyes were full of worry and self-blame.
It's all his fault. If he had hidden his shameful thoughts from being discovered, his grandmother wouldn't have to worry about it every day.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "I know my own body. I just hope that you two can be well and don't make me worry down there."
Su Huaiyue's heart ached, and her eyes reddened again. "Grandma, don't worry, we will get along well with each other and will never let others find fault with the Wei family."
The old lady nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then let the two of them go out to get busy.
Only with Su Huaiyue's assurance could she feel more at ease.
Su Huaiyue and Wei Che walked out of the room. Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"You go and do your work. I'll take care of grandma." Su Huaiyue smiled at Wei Che and said.
Wei Che hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but when he saw Su Huaiyue's distant gaze, he swallowed back his words.
Now is not the right time. My grandmother is seriously ill. If he is still thinking about emotional matters, how can he be worthy of being a descendant!
Finally, he nodded, turned and left.
Su Huaiyue looked at Wei Che's back, feeling mixed emotions.
Su Huaiyue watched Wei Che's back disappear at the door, then turned around and went back into the room.
The old lady had closed her eyes again, as if taking a nap.
Su Huaiyue tiptoed to the bedside, picked up the towel beside her, and gently wiped the fine beads of sweat on the old lady's forehead.
She moved gently, fearing to disturb the old lady's rest.
Looking at the old lady's haggard face, Su Huaiyue couldn't help feeling sad.
"Miss Su, can I learn from you how to treat this heart disease?" Cui Shuang's voice suddenly sounded behind her, with a hint of timidity and expectation.
Su Huaiyue turned around and saw Cui Shuang standing at the door, her eyes full of longing.
She thought for a moment and said, "If you're willing to learn, I'm willing to teach you. But this medical skill can't be learned in a day. It requires hard work."
She paused and added, "Moreover, learning medicine not only requires memorizing prescriptions, but also requires the ability to observe the patient's condition and adjust the medication according to different symptoms. This is no easy task."
Cui Shuang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded quickly: "I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as I can help the old lady, I'm willing to learn anything."
There was a firmness in her voice, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind.
Su Huaiyue smiled slightly and said, "Okay, come and help me boil the medicine first."
As she spoke, she took Cui Shuang to the kitchen, picked up a bag of medicinal herbs, and carefully explained the effects and dosage of each herb.
In the kitchen, Su Huaiyue put the herbs into the medicine pot while saying to Cui Shuang, "The most important thing about this prescription for treating heart disease is to calm the mind and activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. For example, this salvia miltiorrhiza can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, calm the mind, and this ginseng can greatly replenish vitality and enhance the body's resistance."
