Upon hearing this, the old lady sensed the changes in her body and nodded.
Apart from what Jian Yixue mentioned, she had no other physical discomfort.
"This is normal. I gave the old lady a health-strengthening pill. Its purpose is to improve her health and eliminate impurities that have accumulated in her body over the years."
Jane explained calmly.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood.
It turns out they were overthinking it.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yi said gratefully, "Thank you, cousin."
At this moment, Dongfang Yi was unaware that the pills would have such a good effect; he simply felt very grateful to Jian Yixue for doing this for his grandmother's health.
Su Hui looked ashamed.
Thinking about his own actions, he realized that he had lived most of his life and he was still so clueless.
"I'm sorry, young lady."
Jian Yixue glanced at the two of them. "It's alright. We're not familiar with each other, so it's normal for you to do this."
She was genuinely not angry; she knew they were only acting this way because they cared about the old lady's safety.
However, these words did not mean that to Dongfang Yi and Su Hui.
She was still upset that they didn't treat her like one of their own.
For a moment, they didn't know how to say something to convince Jian Yixue.
When the old lady heard Jian Yixue's words, she was first stunned, and then a look of sadness and disappointment flashed across her face.
However, since everyone's attention was not on her at the moment, no one noticed anything unusual about her.
"Xue'er, in my heart, you and your mother will always be members of the Dongfang family and the people I care about most."
The old lady made her position clear.
Before she knew of Jian Yixue's existence, the person she felt most indebted to was her daughter.
Now, there is someone who can be ranked ahead of her daughter, and that is her granddaughter, Jian Yixue.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi immediately said, "Grandma's words are my words. Whether you want to come back or not, you are a member of the Dongfang family. The doors of the Dongfang family are always open to you."
As a servant, Su Hui couldn't say these words like her two masters, but she nodded in agreement.
In her heart, Jian Yixue will always be the young lady of the Dongfang family.
Upon seeing this, Jian Yixue was taken aback.
After thinking it through, I realized that they had misunderstood me.
He nodded with a helpless smile.
She knew very well that even if she came out to explain, they might not believe her.
After thinking about it, I decided to let this well-intentioned misunderstanding fade away with time.
Furthermore, she now knows that her mother's parents truly love her mother very much, so she is willing to maintain a good relationship with the Dongfang family.
Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and an unbearable stench filled the air.
Following the scent, Dongfang Yi quickly discovered that it was emanating from the old lady's body.
It's like not having taken a bath in a long time.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yi frowned, turned to Jian Yixue and asked, "Cousin, how long will this process take for Grandma?"
Jian Yixue checked the time. "It'll be another quarter of an hour. But we can prepare the things we need for the bath first."
It takes about half an hour for the full effects of the medicine to take effect after you take it.
Fifteen minutes have passed since the old lady ate, so there are only fifteen minutes left.
After hearing this, Dongfang Yi glanced at Su Hui, and Su Hui immediately understood.
He got up and went outside to prepare.
Only she and her wife are here. Over the years, she has been taking care of her wife's daily life.
The old lady felt nauseous at the smell on herself, and then felt embarrassed when she thought of Dongfang Yi and the others present.
"Yi'er, take Xue'er and the others out for a walk in the garden."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi wanted to refute it.
Dongfang Yi thought of the old lady who had just fainted, and he strongly disagreed with her suggestion.
Grandma Su wasn't there either; he was worried about leaving her alone there.
Dongfang Yi frowned and said, "Grandma..."
Jian Yixue had been watching the old lady the whole time, so she naturally saw everything that had just happened.
As a woman herself, she knew why the old lady would say that.
So, just as Dongfang Yigang was about to speak, Jian Yixue interrupted him.
"I'll stay here. You take Mo Han out for a walk; Mo Han has something to discuss with you."
After saying that, Jian Yixue glanced at Ye Mohan and gave him a knowing look.
Ye Mohan naturally understood his wife's meaning and nodded.
Indeed, it is very inappropriate for him, as a man, to be here doing this.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi paused and turned to look at Jian Yixue with a puzzled expression.
I really don't understand why Jian Yixue suddenly said that.
The old lady looked at Jian Yixue with great gratitude.
She knew that Jian Yixue understood what she meant.
Ye Mohan glanced at Jian Yixue and whispered meaningfully, "Wife, remember to reward me when we get back."
Jian Yixue: "..."
What are you thinking about all day long?!
She understood perfectly what Ye Mohan meant.
For a fleeting moment, she wanted to open his head and see what was inside.
Where have all those aloof and unapproachable people gone?
Ye Mohan didn't care what Jian Yixue was thinking. After speaking to Jian Yixue, he looked at Dongfang Yi, who had a puzzled expression.
"Let's go outside and talk."
Without waiting for Dongfang Yi's reply, he walked straight towards the door.
Dongfang Yi, already bewildered, was even more confused.
Although he and Ye Mohan were in a cooperative relationship, the handover was basically handled by his core subordinates.
When will it be the turn of the two parties involved to discuss this?
Dongfang Yi didn't understand.
However, knowing that his cousin was with his grandmother, he wasn't so worried.
"Grandma, I'm going out for a bit," Dongfang Yi said to the old lady.
The old lady nodded.
Then, Dongfang Yi chased after him with a puzzled look on his face.
...
Only Jian Yixue and the old lady remained in the room.
The old lady looked at Jian Yixue with great gratitude, "Xue'er, thank you."
Jian Yixue naturally understood why the old lady was thanking her.
"It's nothing, Madam, you don't need to be so polite."
Hearing how Jian Yixue addressed her, the old lady felt a moment of disappointment.
It seems that every time I hear it, I feel a sense of loss.
Her perfectly healthy granddaughter called her "Old Madam," a very unfamiliar and distant form of address.
In the past, she never felt there was anything wrong with others calling her "old lady".
But when she heard Jian Yixue address her that way, she felt a moment of intense dislike for those three words.
But considering that it was their first time meeting, she didn't want to upset Jian Yixue over this issue.
They've only just recognized each other; they can take their time.
"Xue'er, how have you been these past years?" the old lady asked.
Jian Yixue had been focusing on Tinglan's affairs the whole time, while glossing over her own.
But she knew that Jian Yixue must be having a very hard time.
