Compared to Gu Zhengfeng, Wen Jingwan was surprisingly calm this time. After shedding tears on the first day, she went about her business as usual.
She took good care of both her daughter and son. When she was alright, she even held her son and talked to her daughter.
Shi Tou knew his sister was sick. This child was strange; he stayed by her side every day, holding Jiang Qiao's hand and chattering away, talking about whatever came to mind.
Some of the things he said surprised even Wen Jingwan and Gu Zhengfeng. The child wasn't usually that talkative, and they never knew he was so good at comforting people.
After finishing the interrogation, Song Shutian made a special trip to Hou Diankui's place.
He didn't know when Jiang Qiao would wake up, but lying there like this would definitely damage his body. The only thing he could think of was this half-master.
"What? Jiang Qiao is injured? What happened? Tell me properly."
Hou Diankui had also participated in the operation, and he shared some things with the old man.
After listening, Hou Diankui remained silent for a long time, and then let out a long sigh.
"This girl—"
"Master Hou, do you think Jiang Qiao will wake up? Is she alright?"
Hou Diankui gave a bitter laugh. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Do you really think I'm a god?"
What is the child's condition now? Does he/she have a fever? Is his/her head swollen? Are there any other symptoms?
Song Shutian shook his head. "Not for now. The medical staff are all focused on Jiang Qiao and are using all the best medicines they can find. That girl is doing well too. I guess it's because she's good at martial arts that she has a good physique. She hasn't had a fever, nor has she shown any of the other symptoms we were worried about."
But it's not good if the person doesn't wake up.
Hou Diankui then sighed, "The child is too tired. It's good to let the child rest properly. I'll go and take a look."
Song Shutian looked at the old man with surprise. "Um, Master Hou, is Jiang Qiao alright or not? Aren't you good at divination?"
Hou Diankui snorted, "Not just anyone can be calculated. I'll pack my things and go take a look."
Have you notified everyone at home? If not, go and notify them as soon as possible.
Upon learning that none of the elders in the family knew anything, Hou Diankui shook his head disapprovingly. "Xiao Song, do you think you can keep Jiang Qiao's matter a secret forever? If the girl gets better, fine, but what if she doesn't? Sigh—"
I'll go over and see what's going on, and then we'll discuss it later.
"That bastard who injured Jiang Qiao must not be let off lightly."
Song Shutian smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I wanted to let him off, others wouldn't. People with heinous crimes shouldn't even think about escaping."
Song Shutian sighed again. With Jiang Qiao gone, he had lost a great help.
"By the way, how's that old devil doing? Did he accomplish anything?"
Song Shutian sneered, "Dream on. He hasn't accomplished anything and is almost dead himself. It'll probably be over in the next day or two."
Hou Diankui snorted, "Those who do evil will not live. That night, did they perform a ritual when the nine stars were aligned?"
Song Shutian looked at Hou Diankui in surprise, "You know this, old man?"
Hou Diankui snorted twice, "The Tong family members have learned the same things as me. How could I not see through what they're doing, especially the alignment of the nine stars? Such a spectacle is very rare—"
Hou Diankui didn't ask any more questions. He told Chunming to go back and pack his things, and then he and Song Shutian left first.
"Ah, what did you say? Jiang Qiao is in the hospital. Master, how is Jiang Qiao? I'll go with you to see her."
Hou Diankui shook his head. "Don't go for now. There's still work to be done here. We can't both leave. We'll talk about it when I get back."
Even if you go to see Jiang Qiao now, she won't know; she's unconscious.
Chunming was dumbfounded. "How could this be? Everything was fine before!"
Hou Diankui patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said, "I don't know either. I'll only know when it's over. Go back to work."
Even if Chunming wanted to go with them, Hou Diankui wouldn't allow it, so he could only watch helplessly as Hou Diankui and the others left.
He scratched the back of his head anxiously. He had to go back and tell his mother. "How could someone who was perfectly healthy suddenly fall into a coma? Could it be the same as last time?"
When Song Lianfeng heard that Jiang Qiao was in trouble, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "What? He's unconscious? How is that possible? Where is he? I have to go see the child!"
Chunming grabbed Song Lianfeng, who was about to pack up and leave, and said, "My dear mother, please don't make things worse. She's not here. I heard she went to the provincial capital. It seems this matter hasn't spread yet. Please keep your mouth shut."
I heard that Jiang Qiao's parents have passed away. Just keep this to yourself and don't tell Grandpa Qiao and the others. I reckon those old men in the family definitely don't know, otherwise, it would have spread by now.
I originally wanted to go with them, but my master wouldn't allow it.
Song Lianfeng waved her hand and said, "What good would it do you to go? Your master would be better off going to check on him. He's unconscious, and it's not convenient for a boy like you to go. Just focus on your work. It wasn't easy for your master to find you such a good job. Don't be half-hearted."
We'll discuss when to go and take a look after your master returns.
Sigh, look at this mess. Wang Dahua's situation isn't good either. I thought Jiang Qiao would be able to get back in time, but who would have thought she would have an accident at this time.
It's really true that the grandfather and grandson weren't meant to be.
Chunming pursed his lips. "Jiang Qiao is in such a state. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't come here. She doesn't even know who she can rely on to take care of her."
"Forget it, let's not talk about Jiang Qiao, it's annoying. How's the shopping for my sister going?"
Speaking of her daughter's wedding, Song Lianfeng sighed repeatedly, "I've prepared everything that needs to be prepared. I was even thinking of having Jiang Qiao be your sister's bridesmaid. Now, I don't know if I can count on her."
Chunming glanced at Song Lianfeng and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you? You want Jiang Qiao to be my sister's bridesmaid? Are you kidding me? If Jiang Qiao goes, who will even look after my sister? What are you thinking?"
Song Lianfeng slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Oh my god, how could I not have thought of that? I just thought Jiang Qiao and your sister had a good relationship. They've been playing together since they were little. Isn't it better to prioritize our own people? I didn't think that much of it."
Neither the mother nor the daughter expected Qiao Jie to return at this time. The old man was worried about Wang Dahua and didn't know if his granddaughter could make it over. He was really worried, so he came back to check on her.
In addition, Gu Zhihong's training cannot be interrupted. After the New Year, Gu Hanting will send his grandson to come over, while he will stay at home to accompany his eldest grandson.
Just as Chunming was about to leave for work, he saw Qiaojie carrying things towards the backyard. Upon seeing the old man, Chunming felt a pang of guilt.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa Qiao! Where is Qiao'er? Is she at home?"
Qiao Jie smiled and nodded. "Happy New Year, Chunming. My Qiao'er, well, this child is busy. Even during the New Year, she can't rest. She's sent someone out to help her. What's up? Do you need my Qiao'er for something?"
"What bad luck, she's not home. You can look for her again when she gets back."
Hearing this, Chunming understood that the old man definitely didn't know about Jiang Qiao.
