Jian Ci came back suddenly without disturbing anyone.
So he was not seen by the housekeeper until he went up to the second floor.
At this time, the butler was holding a tray with various desserts on it. When he saw Jian Ci, his usually serious and stern face almost turned into an emoticon of fright.
"Miss?!"
Jian Ci raised the end of her eyebrows, obviously a little surprised by his surprised look, "What's wrong?"
The housekeeper shook his head repeatedly, "Nothing... nothing..."
Jian Ci glanced at the plate in his hand and said, "This is..."
"This is Miss Chen Ling's lunch!" the housekeeper said hurriedly.
Just then, Chen Ling came out of the room. Seeing Jian Ci standing in the corridor, she was startled. "Oh my god, why are you attacking me again?"
Jian Ci then looked away and said calmly, "I just finished my work and came back to see the old man."
As he said this, he was about to walk into the room.
Chen Ling immediately blocked the way and directly pulled her downstairs, "Oh, the old man is doing well recently, there's nothing to see."
But Jian Ci was thinking about the old man in her heart. After pulling her hand away, she walked straight to the door and said, "No, I haven't seen it for a long time."
Chen Ling's expression changed slightly, and she quickly stopped the man, "He's asleep, what's there to see?"
Jian Ci paused, her eyes stern, "Has he woken up?"
Chen Ling's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled and said, "No, I mean, hasn't he always been lying like this?"
When Jian Ci heard this, her tense expression gradually relaxed. "How is the old man doing recently?"
Chen Ling glanced at the door and blurted out subconsciously: "Very good, rosy complexion, good health."
These words made Jian Ci's cold eyes half-narrow.
Then, while Chen Ling was not paying attention, he turned around, pushed open the door, and strode in.
As a result, I saw my neighbor lying there quietly.
The room was heated and incense was on, and the temperature was very comfortable.
Chen Ling followed in and took a look. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Look, is everything normal? I said the old man was resting."
But Jian Ci didn't listen. Instead, she walked straight to the old man's bedside, took his pulse, and asked without emotion, "Has he never woken up?"
Chen Ling's eyes flashed with a trace of guilt, and she nodded, "Yes, I haven't woken up yet."
Jian Ci lowered her head to look at the old man's sleepy face. Suddenly, her eyes swept across the tiny cake crumbs at the corner of his mouth, and the corner of her eye couldn't help but raise a little.
Then he withdrew his hand and said meaningfully: "Since he is not awake, let him sleep well."
Chen Ling didn't understand the hidden meaning in her words. She just breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she quickly pushed him out the door. "Don't worry, I'll help you take care of the old man. Just focus on taking good care of your husband."
Jian Ci didn't refuse and was led downstairs by her.
When they sat on the sofa, Cao said with a half-smile, "You stay up all night playing games every day, your days and nights are reversed, who will take care of who?"
Chen Ling's face flushed when she heard what she said, and she made an excuse for herself: "I just got up late, it's not like I can't get up."
Jian Ci smiled but didn't expose her. She just changed the subject and asked, "The New Year is coming soon. When do you plan to go back, Senior Sister?"
Chen Ling said without thinking: "I'm not going back. I'll stay here to take care of the old man."
Jian Ci smiled at her and said, "Well, I'll trouble you with everything here."
Chen Ling, who didn't know she was being seen through, smiled innocently and said, "It's no trouble, no trouble. I'm so happy."
Jian Ci raised her eyes slightly and smiled playfully, "What?"
Chen Ling immediately reacted and said, "What I mean is, I'm so happy that I can help you."
After saying this, he was afraid that he would be exposed again, so he poured tea for his junior sister in a very servile manner.
Jian Ci sat in the hall and drank a cup of tea before planning to leave.
As she stood up, she glanced at the half-eaten dessert on her plate and said in an ambiguous tone, "It's better to eat less dessert. Too much sugar is not good for your health, especially for girls and the elderly."
Chen Ling's hand that was drinking tea trembled.
I don’t know if it’s because I feel guilty or something else, but I always feel that the last three words were emphasized particularly by my junior sister.
It’s over, it’s over. Nothing will be discovered, right?
This junior sister of hers has always been smart, and even her own master can't beat her.
Not to mention myself.
I'm afraid that my acting skills have been exposed in front of her a long time ago?
Oh, oh, oh, I told the old man that my junior sister is very hard to deceive.
He refused to listen.
Now both of them are finished.
Just as he was struggling over whether to confess or continue playing dead, Jian Ci didn't say anything else but just walked out.
Um?
Didn't she notice?
Logically speaking, it's unlikely.
But watching the junior sister walk out like that with the housekeeper's escort.
This made her unsure for a moment.
At this time, Jian Ci walked towards the door and said to the person beside her in a light tone: "The old man is used to making trouble, and my senior sister is not a reliable person. I hope Uncle Zheng can be more careful."
Butler Uncle Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled kindly.
He knew that the young lady was not just saying the word "elderly" casually.
Although no one knows what went wrong, it is clear that the old man was exposed in front of his eldest daughter.
"Don't worry, the old man is doing well recently. I will take good care of him."
After getting Uncle Zheng's assurance, Jian Ci didn't say much and just walked out.
