Chapter 214



Xu Jiang laughed, and then couldn't help but complain in her heart, your father really knows how to love people, and he loves people so much that they become crazy and stupid.

"He only looks fierce on the surface, but he is actually a pure and honest person inside and treats me very well."

"My father said that when you judge a person, you can't just look at their immediate interest; you have to look at them over the long term."

"That's true." Xu Jiang nodded in agreement, "But if we can't get it day and night, how can it last long?"

Then he said with an open mind: "If there ever comes a day when love fades and people become distant, then just let it be. Life is but a hundred years, so why burden yourself?"

Wan Qingmiao looked at Xu Jiang and suddenly felt that he was worrying about the wrong person. This fresh and enthusiastic sister of his had an open mind and a high level of realm that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Thinking of the old housekeeper, maids, and guards who came with her, Wan Qingmiao caught a glimpse of the Liangfenlou family's intentions towards Xu Jiang, and immediately developed some good feelings towards this brother-in-law whom she had never met.

However, he also vaguely felt that the Lou family was keeping a close eye on his sister, and wondered if they were afraid that his sister wouldn't leave once she arrived. Thinking of this, he felt unhappy again.

Life is but a hundred years long, so why burden yourself with hardship? Wan Sheng, who was on his way over, picked up these words and could not help but stop, stunned for a long time.

Seeing him coming, Xu Jiang quickly stopped smiling and bowed to him, saying, "Master Wan, are you here to see the lady?"

"Yeah." Wansheng came back to his senses and walked towards the two of them.

Wan Qingmiao turned around and stepped forward to greet him, "Father, you're back?"

"How is your mother?" She was the one he cared about most.

"Everything is fine." Wan Qingmiao nodded, "He's just still asleep, as if he's trying to make up for all the sleep he's lost over the years. He hasn't woken up yet."

A hint of warmth appeared in Wan Sheng's eyes, and then he asked, "What did Doctor Dai say?"

Xu Jiang replied, "Divine Doctor Dai said that Madam's pulse is steady, and the heat in her liver and lungs has been dissipated. This is a sign of improvement. We can temporarily suspend the medication and return for a consultation after she wakes up."

Wan Qingmiao nodded in agreement, praising Xu Jiang, "Divine Doctor Dai also said that it was thanks to Sister and Madam Liu's good care that Mother recovered so quickly."

Sister? Wan Sheng felt annoyed by his son's servile behavior and dismissed him, saying, "The account for the cloth shop has been collected. The accountant is waiting for you to check it. Don't delay."

"You're back?" When Wan Qingmiao mentioned the business, he immediately became more serious. "I'll go right away." Then he turned to Xu Jiang and said, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of my mother."

After saying this, he walked hurriedly out of the yard without waiting for Xu Jiang to respond.

Xu Jiang stared at his back and said, "I thought you would keep it a secret from him."

"He asked himself. He is a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, so I can't hide it." Besides, in the current situation, what else is there to hide?

Wan Sheng sighed slightly, "He acts bluntly, so please forgive me if I have offended him unintentionally."

"It's better to say it's sincere than to say it's straightforward."

"Then please don't let him down because of me." Although Wan Qingmiao has cousins, they are not blood relatives from the same mother. Now that Xu Jiang suddenly appears, he approaches her without thinking and takes out his heart without caring whether people like it or not.

Ever since their first meeting at the inn, when he made those requests, he knew that Xu Jiang did not like him. In addition, because of what happened afterwards, she always had a grudge against him.

He didn't care what Xu Jiang thought of him or how she treated him, but he didn't want to see his silly son being poured cold water on and left out.

So he was waiting for her here. Xu Jiang laughed, then said frankly, "I admit that I am jealous and envious of him, but this is all natural and natural. I am not a cold-hearted person. I treat others the way they treat me. Zhenji treats me with courtesy and righteousness, so I will not let him down."

She acted so openly and honestly that he seemed narrow-minded.

Xu Jiang added, "Besides, although I disagree with some of your ways of doing things, I am still very grateful to you."

He was stunned. "Thank me for what?"

"I'm grateful for saving her from danger back then, for being kind to her and giving her a good life over the years, and for not stopping me from seeing her."

He was stunned when he heard this. "Don't you hate me for forcing her to marry your father when I could have done that?"

"The past is over." Xu Jiang looked up at the sky, where a few clouds drifted leisurely. "He has found his freedom, so we should let go of ourselves too."

She smiled faintly, looked at him and said, "Look forward."

Look forward.

Wan Sheng's heart was filled with despair. He thought to himself with self-mockery, will she still be in his future?

"Madam Xu." A maid came hurriedly and saw Wan Sheng was there. She quickly bowed to him and then said to the two of them, "Madam Xu, Master, the Madam has woken up."

Upon hearing this, the two of them hurriedly walked towards the house.

When Wansheng entered the room, he saw Xizhi being supported by Liumei and a maid as she walked around the room. He stopped for a moment and didn't dare to move forward.

Xu Jiang followed in and bumped into his back without stopping.

He staggered and took several steps forward before he could steady himself.

Xu Jiang hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm not paying attention." Then he stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?"

Seeing this scene, Liu Mei almost couldn't help laughing.

"It's okay." Wan Sheng stood still, his face almost embarrassed. Then he stepped forward and said to Xizhi, "Madam, did I scare you?"

Xizhi looked blank and did not respond.

Liu Mei and the maid helped Xizhi walk to the soft couch and sat down. Then she waved to the maids, who understood and retreated to the corridor outside the house to serve.

Xu Jiang walked forward and sat next to Xizhi, calling her "Madam" twice. Xizhi blinked but still did not respond.
