Chapter 959: Bad Complexion
"I came back to see Grandpa..." Nie Yao replied with a faint smile. She looked around for a moment and asked Steward Lu tentatively, "Steward Lu, why is it so quiet today? Where are the other people at home?"
"Today is not the weekend, your father and second uncle are both at work..." Butler Lu replied with a faint smile.
"So that's how it is. What about Nie Xiao? And what about Lin Anqi and the others?" Nie Yao asked again with concern.
"Master Xiao went shopping with his mother. He said he wanted to relax with her. I wonder if he will be back for dinner tonight!"
Housekeeper Lu paused at this point, then continued to explain with a smile: "As for Miss Lin and Madam Lin, they were called back by the Lin family today. They were told that they had a family dinner to attend, so they will stay at the Lin family today!"
"So no one is at home. No wonder the house is so quiet!" Nie Yao nodded in sudden realization and looked around the huge old house. Her grandfather was the only one at home at this time, so she didn't want it to seem too deserted!
"Where's Grandpa? I want to go see him—" Nie Yao whispered. Seeing that Butler Lu looked hesitant, she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Is Grandpa feeling unwell?"
"The master hasn't been feeling well these past few days, and has mostly been resting in his room..." Steward Lu sighed, his tone somewhat helpless. "I just took care of him and helped him eat the medicinal food. He should be asleep by now..."
"Okay, then I won't disturb Grandpa's rest!" Nie Yao didn't want to disturb his rest either, and prepared to turn around and leave: "I'll come to see him tomorrow!"
Seeing Nie Yao was about to leave so soon, Housekeeper Lu quickly stopped her and said, "Miss, please stay. I'm going to the room to see the master. It's a rare opportunity for you to come back. If you leave like this, the master will blame me when he wakes up!"
After he said this, he turned and went to Mr. Nie's room.
In the room, Old Nie was half asleep. Hearing the door ajar, he could hear the footsteps of the housekeeper, Old Lu, without even opening his eyes. He slowly said, "Old Lu, there's no need to be so tiptoeing. What's going on?"
"Master, I thought you were asleep..." Hearing this, Butler Lu hurried to Old Nie's bedside and explained with a low laugh, "The eldest daughter came back and wanted to see you. I was afraid you were asleep, so I asked her to wait outside..."
"What? Ah Yao is here?" Old Nie was still a little sleepy, but when he heard that it was his eldest granddaughter, Nie Yao, he quickly opened his eyes wide, waved, and said, "Help me up and let her in. I just have something to say to her!"
"Yes!" Butler Lu quickly helped Mr. Nie lean against the head of the bed, put a coat on him, and turned to call Nie Yao in the living room.
Nie Yao followed Butler Lu to Old Man Nie's room. Butler Lu brought them hot tea and pastries, then quietly left, giving the grandfather and grandson a private space to chat.
"Grandpa..." Nie Yao poured a cup of hot tea for her grandfather and handed it to him. She carefully observed her grandfather's complexion and found that it was indeed not very good.
Her intuition told her that her grandfather was not feeling well this time because he was probably angry about Nie Jinxi and Ji Minghuan framing Nie Xiao!
"You are not feeling well, why don't you go to the hospital?" Nie Yao asked with concern.
Old Nie took the teacup and took a sip, then shook his head and said with a nonchalant smile, "I'm fine, don't listen to Old Lu making a fuss!"
"Grandpa, you don't have to hide it from me..."
Nie Yao smiled faintly and whispered, "I can see that you don't look well. Even if you don't want to go to the hospital, you should call a doctor to come home and take a look!"
