I reached out in the dark to turn on the light, and glanced at the door. It was closed.
It’s not Jianglaiguanmen.
Jiang Lai stayed with me in the hospital tonight. She was afraid that it would affect my sleep and prevent me from recovering quickly, so she insisted on sleeping on the sofa in the living room. But she was also afraid that if I felt unwell and called her, she wouldn't be able to hear me, so she kept the door half open.
Now, it was obvious that someone had come in.
Is it him...
I have no idea.
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
…
The next day, after waking up from a good sleep, I felt much better.
The nurse brought a nutritious breakfast for two, including fruits and bird's nest, which was very rich.
Jiang Lai smacked his lips, "Your hospital is quite generous."
The nurse smiled and said, "It's to help the patient recover faster. However, your ward has a nutritional plan tailored specifically for Mrs. Fu by the director himself."
After saying that, he took my temperature and said, "Mrs. Fu, you still have a slight fever. Please have breakfast first. I'll go call Professor Feng over."
After she left, Jiang Lai gave me a puzzled look and asked, "Are you really going to get a divorce?"
"What else?"
"Then this breakfast... can I still eat it?"
She nodded towards the sumptuous breakfast, looking eager to eat.
I smiled helplessly, "Divorce doesn't mean wasting food, eat it!"
I'm no longer surprised by Fu Qichuan's approach.
It's always a slap in the face and a sweet date alternating between them.
But now I don’t buy into that anymore.
Just as I finished my breakfast, Uncle Cheng came in with a few servants, carrying all kinds of nutritional supplements such as cordyceps, bird's nest, fish maw, ginseng, donkey-hide gelatin, etc., which almost filled up half of the living room.
Uncle Cheng's face was filled with regret as he consoled her, "Young Madam, I heard about the child. Don't be too sad. You and Qi Chuan are still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities to have children in the future. Take these nutritional supplements first. There are still plenty in the old house. Once you are discharged from the hospital, they will be enough to nourish your body."
"Uncle Cheng,"
Uncle Cheng has always been by my grandfather's side, so I respect him. "He and I are definitely getting a divorce this time, and we won't have any more children. You can take these things back."
Uncle Cheng was at a loss for words and immediately waved his hand, "I'm giving this to you on behalf of the old man, not on behalf of Qi Chuan, don't worry. When the old man was alive, the thing he often said was that the Fu family owed you. These... you must accept them, otherwise the old man will be worried even in his grave."
"……good."
After some hesitation, I finally agreed. Tears welled up in my eyes as I mentioned my grandfather, and I pressed my hand against the corners of my eyes. "I've kept the two jade pendants that Grandpa gave me in the safe in my room and never taken them out. If you're free one day, please get them out and return them to Fu Qichuan for me."
The passwords for every safe in the old house were originally set by Uncle Cheng. Later, when I got married, Uncle Cheng reminded me to change the passwords.
But we lived in the old house for too short a time, so I never moved.
This saves a lot of trouble.
Uncle Cheng saw my persistence and had no choice but to agree. Then, he hesitated, "Then... take good care of your health."
"Uncle Cheng, do you have something to say to me?"
I couldn't help but ask.
Uncle Cheng hesitated for a moment, "You asked me to keep an eye on the medicine that old man had, and I've made some progress. But... this matter is probably as you guessed, not very simple. You want to divorce Qi Chuan now, and I'm afraid that I'll let you wade into muddy water again..."
"Any progress?"
I perked up and pressed on, "Don't let this bother you. The divorce is between him and me. But Grandpa has always been so good to me. I don't want him to die in such an unclear way."
After I gave him this reassurance, Uncle Cheng finally decided to speak up and took out a transparent sealed bag from his pocket, which contained only a small pill.
And this pill is one I'm very familiar with.
It's the emergency medicine that grandpa always carries in his pocket.
Uncle Cheng said, "This was found under the carpet on the desk when the servants were cleaning the old man's study a few days ago."
I took it and looked at it carefully, and my back suddenly felt cold.
The air in Jiangcheng is not very dry. If the medicine had fallen on the ground a long time ago, it would have become a little damp.
But the one in the bag had no signs of moisture at all.
My voice tightened. "When was the last time we cleaned the old house?"
"The old man had just done a thorough cleaning the day before the accident."
Uncle Cheng had obviously thought about this question and answered it immediately with a serious expression.
In other words, all the signs indicate that the medicine fell to the ground on the day Grandpa died.
Grandpa only got sick when he was talking to Fu Jinan alone, and he only took this medicine at that time.
But... when I went to question Fu Jinan that night, she didn't mention anything about Grandpa wanting to take medicine!
Uncle Cheng and I exchanged glances, each seeing deep suspicion in the other's eyes. I pursed my lips and asked, "Does Fu Qichuan know?"
"I don't know yet."
"Let's send it for fingerprint identification first."
I thought about it, "There's no point in telling him now. Just based on this, with his trust in Fu Jin'an, he'll think we're deliberately trying to discredit his sweetheart."
"Young Madam... Actually, Qi Chuan definitely doesn't feel the same way about Fu Jinan..."
Uncle Cheng wanted to explain on Fu Qichuan's behalf, but I interrupted him softly, "It doesn't matter what it is, but he really does care about Fu Jinan, doesn't he?"
No matter what Fu Qichuan thinks of Fu Jinan, in his eyes, Fu Jinan is more important than anyone else.
That's enough.
Uncle Cheng's eyes turned cold, and he said sternly, "Don't worry, if the old man's death is really related to her, she will only die a more miserable death."
At this moment, I seemed to see the shadow of my grandfather in Uncle Cheng.
I nodded, "I believe this."
Although Fu Qichuan is biased, once the evidence is conclusive and it involves his grandfather, he will not let Fu Jinan go.
Uncle Cheng said, "Then I'll send it for fingerprint identification first."
"Um."
I worriedly reminded him, "Find someone reliable to avoid alerting the enemy. If it really is her, the medicine bottle might still be in the old house. Try looking for it again."
Uncle Cheng chatted with me for a few more minutes, then stood up with a serious look on his face and prepared to go back.
Could it be that this evil gene of murder can also be passed down from generation to generation...
Wen Fang killed Fu Qichuan's biological mother.
And Fu Jinan is now closely related to his grandfather.
I felt a little terrified. After I sent Uncle Cheng to the door, I saw Fu Jinan walking towards me from afar in high heels. She didn't look sick or weak at all.
Uncle Cheng's face turned increasingly gloomy, and he was about to leave. However, Fu Jinan glanced at the pile of nutritional supplements in my ward and called him to stop, acting like the future young lady of the Fu family.
She smiled gently and said softly: "Uncle Cheng, she is about to divorce Qi Chuan, and Grandpa is gone. You should still distinguish between the big and small kings and figure out who you should please!"
