Wang Ying appeared very weak, and Mu Jingheng, worried that Xu Xinning would get tired, busied himself helping her.
Wu's second son stood there awkwardly, since the woman on the bed was his sister-in-law, not his wife, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to get close and serve her.
Xu Xinning took Wang Ying's pulse. Although she had woken up, her condition was not good, and it seemed that she was really at the end of her life.
Xu Xinning has always been very confident in her medical skills, but now she feels that there is still a lot she needs to study.
For example, someone like Wang Ying who is determined to die.
Because of Wang Ying's condition, Xu Xinning didn't dare tell her family that she was still alive, fearing it would cause Chen Ping and Chen Jianguo even more harm.
Besides, Wang Ying's current status is special, and normally she is not allowed to be visited.
Du Changpu and Ouyang Changshan replaced Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng after dinner.
When Xu Xinning, Mu Jingheng, and Wu's second son returned home together, Xu Xinning told Wu's second son where his wife had been buried.
The second son of the Wu family remained silent, and Xu Xinning could imagine his feelings.
After dropping Xu Xinning off at home, Mu Jingheng went out again.
Xu Xinning was worried that his body couldn't handle it. He had to protect her during the day and was busy with other work at night. She said with concern, "There are tonics in the space to restore your body's functions. Don't forget to take them these few days. You must not take your health for granted just because you are young. The baby is not born yet. Don't wait until the baby is born and you don't have the strength to play with them."
Mu Jingheng noticed that Xu Xinning was becoming more and more aware of her role as a wife, and he really liked her nagging.
In his past life, he was particularly envious of couples who were arguing and fighting one second, wishing they could kill each other, and the next second they were all lovey-dovey and said they couldn't live without each other.
In Mu Jingheng's view, a normal married life should be about growing together through constant friction and supporting each other to move in a better direction.
Xu Xinning used to be never talkative; she was decisive and efficient in her actions and words, as if she never made a mistake.
But things are different now. She gets angry when she needs to, and she might even yell at or hit him when she's angry. But it's this Xu Xinning that makes Mu Jingheng feel more real and grounded, more grounded in life, and more like an ordinary person with flesh and blood.
As soon as the second son of the Wu family returned to the compound, he went to the courtyard where Old Master Wu and the others lived.
Grandpa Wu was quite surprised to see him come at this time. "Why are you here so late? Did something happen?"
The second son of the Wu family was very dejected. He pulled the old man Wu to the room and told him everything about his wife.
After hearing what the second son of the Wu family said, Old Master Wu fell silent.
The father and son sat there, looking at each other in silence.
After a long pause, Old Master Wu finally said, "Your mother has been quite lonely all these years. Tomorrow, dig your wife out and move her next to your mother. Your wife has had a tough time all these years. For your safety and future, she didn't even leave behind any descendants. I used to resent her, feeling that she had wronged you, but now it seems that we were the ones who wronged her! I don't know how she got through all these years in the dead of night. Sigh~ It wasn't easy for her! It really was hard on her! If it weren't for her secretly protecting us, our Wu family would have inevitably suffered."
Wu's second son said, "Dad, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while. I still need to get Chief Jiang's stamp to explain to the higher authorities. I'll move her to Mom's place once the documents from above come down."
Grandpa Wu: "So what do we do now? Should we just leave her lying in the yard?"
Wu Lao Er: "I'll take her to the tenement tonight. There's no need to tell my brother and sister-in-law. It's inevitable that my sister-in-law will feel uncomfortable."
Grandpa Wu nodded in agreement.
After finishing speaking, Wu's second son stood up and went to the storeroom to find tools.
The place where Wang Ying buried him was easy to find; it was right under the window of the old room where Wu's second son used to live.
Wu Lao Er quickly found the urn containing the ashes.
He took a towel, cleaned the urn, then took off his clothes, wrapped it up, and carried it back to the tenement.
When he returned to the tenement, he felt an unprecedented loneliness, and the scene of his wife greeting him when he used to come home naturally came to mind.
He used to feel disgusted when she came to greet him, but now he misses her terribly.
Human emotions can be really strange sometimes; Wu Lao Er finally felt the pain and state of mind of someone whose wife had died.
Suddenly he felt his eyes welling up with tears.
If Wu's second son's wife knew that Wu's second son was missing her and shedding tears for her, she could rest in peace, right?
Wang Ying kept her eyes open in the darkness inside the hospital.
Actually, she was quite envious of her younger sister. Although she had never received her husband's love, she lived a simple life and always knew what she wanted.
But what about her?
In the past, I poured my heart and soul into a country that I had never lived in, even though they painted a pie in the sky for me.
Only then did she realize how stupid she had been.
For this passion, she sacrificed her love and her family, and in the end, she even lost her lover.
Looking back on her short life, she suddenly realized that she had lived in a daze.
Unfortunately, there's no turning back now.
While Wang Ying was lost in thought, a faint sound came from the window.
Wang Ying was a competent spy, and her alertness was certainly high. She used all her strength to roll over and hide under the bed. She wanted to see who had come in, and she wanted to know their purpose even more.
Du Changpu and Ouyang Changshan were also in the ward, while outside the ward were Old Master Jiang's men.
The security is actually quite good.
That's why Du Changpu and Ouyang Changshan closed their eyes to rest after turning off the lights.
Du Changpu, being carefree, fell into a deep sleep in no time.
Ouyang Changshan became alert and quickly rolled under the bed as Wang Ying slid down, landing next to her.
The two exchanged a glance and stared out the window in perfect unison.
The person who came was dressed in all black, with his face and head completely covered.
When the person came to the bedside, Wang Ying recognized him, but she did not relax.
The person who came was Wang Ying's fiancé, Chen Jianguo's biological father.
The man, unaware that Wang Ying wasn't in bed, reached out as if to feel the person in bed.
However, to Wang Ying's surprise, he pulled up the blanket and buried his face in the pillow without even looking carefully.
Is he trying to smother her?
Wang Ying never dreamed that the man she once deeply loved and who bore her child would now want her dead.
She didn't want to live in the first place, but being murdered by her closest loved one is a different story.
If Wang Ying hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that he would want to kill her.
