After a pause, she thought of what she had said to Song Laowu and Bai Lingzhi some time ago. Her face darkened and she asked hurriedly:
"Did your fifth uncle and the others bring you back?"
Seeing her mood change, Song Rushuang guessed that the old lady must have explained something in advance.
"just me."
"Did your fifth uncle and fifth aunt tell you?"
Song Rushuang had an illusion.
If she nodded, she, Song Laowu, and Bai Lingzhi would probably be scolded by the old lady when they came back.
She slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, and then explained in a deep voice:
"Don't be angry yet. I'm a very smart granddaughter. By chance, I guessed that you must be hiding something from me. Needless to say, Uncle Fifth and Aunt Fifth must have been hiding something from me as well. That's why I didn't tell them when I came back this time."
She just wanted to verify her own guess.
As it turned out, Song Rushuang was not wrong.
She set her sights on the person lying on the sickbed.
If it’s not Mr. Song, who else could it be?
"grandfather……"
Song Rushuang took two steps forward.
Old Man Song’s face was paler than rice paper.
Anyone who comes to see this will be left breathless.
Zhang Cuizhi was indeed not exaggerating; his situation was indeed not optimistic.
"grandfather?"
Song Rushuang called out a few times, and then found that Old Man Song didn't respond at all.
She was about to reach out to take the patient's pulse when she was stopped by Old Lady Song.
"Xiao Qi, don't interfere."
"Grandma, let me see what's wrong with grandpa first!"
Old Mrs. Song's reaction was extremely firm, and she didn't even think about discussing this matter with Song Rushuang.
"Why, now that you've grown up, you don't listen to grandma anymore?"
"Xiao Qi, of course, listens to grandma. This doesn't conflict with seeing grandpa."
Old Lady Song said in a deep voice:
"Since you're listening, don't worry about your grandfather's affairs."
Song Rushuang frowned slightly.
She didn't quite understand what the old lady meant.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Old Man Song is not in good condition.
Logically, she shouldn't have stopped herself.
"Grandma, why?"
She had to give Song Rushuang an explanation, instead of being so nonsensical as she was now, just telling her not to get involved in the matter.
The person lying on the bed is her grandfather who has watched her grow up. How can she ignore him?
"Xiao Qi, just listen to grandma. We know your grandpa's illness well, and we don't want you to interfere."
Song Rushuang opened her mouth. She could feel the pressure from Old Madam Song.
"Grandma, tell me honestly, what's going on with Grandpa?"
Old Madam Song glanced at Song Rushuang, then slowly said:
"It's just a low-grade fever, it's nothing."
She seemed to change her attitude suddenly.
But Song Rushuang is not a fool. Whether it is the expressions of her uncle and others or her grandmother's reaction, it means that what she just said to her grandmother is false.
"grandmother……"
Song Rushuang's nose suddenly felt sore, and she knelt down in front of her.
"What are you doing, kid?"
Old Mrs. Song was extremely anxious.
"Get up quickly, let's talk it over!"
"It's not that Xiaoqi doesn't want to talk about it, it's that grandma doesn't want to tell Xiaoqi!"
Old Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment, then her eyes fell on Song Rushuang.
Song Rushuang's voice continued to ring:
"Grandma, Xiao Qi is no longer the little kid he was back then. Even if he were me back then, do you think I would believe you just by saying something like this?"
Old Mrs. Song was stunned. She had indeed forgotten that her own Xiaoqi was not an ordinary child at all.
But even so, since the words had been spoken, the old lady never regretted it.
"Xiao Qi, you get up first."
"I won't get up unless you let me check on Grandpa first!"
"Don't you want to know about your mother?"
Song Rushuang looked up at Old Lady Song.
"Tell me one thing at a time. You must first tell me what happened to Grandpa."
Old Madam Song did not compromise. She looked at Song Rushuang deeply and actually responded:
"You can only handle one of the two things."
Song Rushuang frowned, she felt that this was not the right way to put it.
“Others may not know, but if it were Xiao Qi, I would take care of two things.”
"What if I only let you choose one?"
"……grandmother?"
Song Rushuang looked at Old Lady Song in disbelief, and she was a little doubtful about her ears.
She just didn't understand why these two things couldn't be done at the same time, or solved one after the other?
Song Rushuang didn't understand why the old lady insisted on making her choose between her grandfather and her mother.
Song Rushuang stood up from the ground swiftly.
She suddenly realized one thing: she didn't need to follow the rules in front of her family.
The old lady doesn't let her treat Grandpa, so can't she just be a little bit stubborn and insist on doing it?
Anyway, the old lady felt sorry for her and wouldn't do anything to her.
But soon, Song Rushuang realized that the old lady was not talking nonsense.
She hadn't reacted yet when she was chased out of the cave by Old Lady Song.
When Zhang Cuizhi rushed over, she happened to see this scene.
Compared to Song Rushuang, she understood a little more clearly.
However, she didn't dare to ask too much about what my mother was thinking.
Everything is for the good of the children.
Song Rushuang was led out by Zhang Cuizhi.
Everyone gathered in a cave.
Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things, but they all tried to comfort Song Rushuang.
Her expression said it all. It seemed that even without asking, one could tell that things were not going well between her and the old lady.
Song Rushuang thought absentmindedly for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
"Uncles and aunts, what's going on with grandpa now?"
Old Mrs. Song was reluctant to tell her, she had to get to the bottom of this matter.
The people from the Song family looked at each other, and no one said another word.
Song Rushuang took in their expressions one by one.
"Is this what grandma meant? You know everything, but you're just hiding it from me?"
Zhang Cuizhi choked, she could feel Song Rushuang's pain.
But she still said to Song Rushuang:
"Xiao Qi, you can't blame your grandma. What happened back then really scared her. She doesn't want you to get involved in this matter now because she just wants to protect you."
This sentence gave Song Rushuang a new idea.
What happened back then?
That was twelve years ago, because something she did left a psychological trauma on her grandmother.
There was only one thing Song Rushuang could think of.
She asked uncertainly:
"You mean? Grandma is afraid that I'll make the same mistake again?"
Everyone looked at each other.
No one refuted, which was equivalent to tacit agreement.
For a moment, Song Rushuang suddenly felt a little powerless.
