Seeing that Yu Sheng remained silent, Gu Ye gently coaxed, "Let's go see Grandma too."
Yu Sheng suppressed her inner turmoil: "The last thing Grandma wants to see right now is me."
"We still have to go." After Gu Ye finished speaking, seeing that Yu Sheng didn't say anything, he hugged her and coaxed, "I'm sorry to trouble you, my wife..."
Gu Ye was right. Even if the old lady didn't want to see her, she had to go. Otherwise, Zhou Yanyun and Gu Jin would definitely say that she had made the old lady sick and didn't even bother to visit her, showing no respect for the old lady at all.
Regardless of whether her marriage with Gu Ye can continue in the future, she cannot allow this marriage to run into problems before Charles performs surgery on Xiao Cheng.
Therefore, she cannot fall out with the Gu family.
After the two arrived at the back room, Yu Sheng said, "You go in, I'll wait outside, so that the old lady won't get so angry when she suddenly sees me that her condition worsens."
Gu Ye was also worried about this possibility, "It's cold outside, let's go in together, you wait in the outer room, just don't let her see us."
"It's alright, I'll wait here, you can go in!"
Seeing that Yu Sheng insisted, Gu Ye didn't try to persuade her any further: "Wait here for me, I'll go in and check the situation first."
"Um."
After Gu Ye left, Yu Sheng stood there, mentally reviewing the incident in order to find a solution!
But this solution is really hard to find!
At the time, only she, the old lady, Yueyue, and the maid who came in after hearing the sound of the ceramic vase breaking were in the room.
Neither the old lady nor the maid saw Yueyue push her. Unless there is surveillance footage in the house, she will not only have a hard time proving her innocence, but she will also be branded as a vicious person who tries to shift the blame onto a five-year-old child.
But, are there security cameras inside the house?
She didn't know!
Just then, Xiulan, the maid who took care of the old lady's meals and drinks, came out of the house and said to Yu Sheng, "Young Madam, the old lady wants you to come in."
Yu Sheng thought that even if the old lady was willing to see her, it would take at least two or three months for her temper to subside, so she was quite surprised when Xiu Lan said that.
In her haste, she took a step towards the house, but after a few steps, she suddenly turned back to Xiulan and lowered her voice: "Aunt Xiulan, is there a security camera in Grandma's room?"
A strange glint flashed in Xiulan's eyes, unnoticed by Yu Sheng, and she smiled, "Nothing, what's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing."
Yu Sheng replied and turned to go into the room.
As soon as she entered, everyone in the room turned to look at her.
The old lady lay in bed, her once vibrant eyes now dull and lifeless, her face pale and sickly, clearly deeply disturbed.
She saw Yu Sheng smiling and waving: "Granddaughter-in-law, come here to Grandma..."
Her kind and loving demeanor was completely different from the person who had just yelled at Yu Sheng to "get out."
Yu Sheng couldn't figure out what the old lady was thinking, and felt a little uneasy, but she still obediently went over.
As soon as she approached, the old lady grabbed her hand and made her sit down on the edge of the bed, asking, "Were you frightened?"
Yu Sheng lowered her eyes and gently shook her head: "No..."
"That's good." The old lady patted her hand and sighed heavily. "It's all my fault for not standing properly and pushing you, which caused you to bump into the shelf and break the ceramic vase. I was in a hurry at the time, so I scolded you. You won't blame your grandma, will you?"
The old lady's earnest words left Yu Sheng speechless.
It was clearly Yueyue who pushed her, so why did the old lady say it was her?
Could it be... as Gu Ye said, that she was hallucinating?
No!
No!
She remembered it very clearly, and she saw it very clearly: it was Yueyue who pushed her!
The old lady took the blame upon herself in order to quell the matter and maintain the stability of the family!
Yu Sheng, naturally not wanting to expose the old lady's good intentions, cooperated by saying, "Of course not..."
After saying that, she stood up and walked to Chen Henian and Gu Jin: "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm sorry. I thought Yueyue pushed me, so I said that just now. Please forgive me!"
"Don't spout nonsense about things you haven't seen clearly in the future. If it happens again, I won't let you off the hook!"
After Gu Jin finished speaking fiercely, Zhou Yanyun immediately followed up sarcastically, "It's a good thing the truth has come out, otherwise my Yueyue would have become the scapegoat!"
The old lady's authoritative voice said, "Yu Sheng had her back to Yueyue at the time, and Yueyue ran past her from behind. Isn't it normal for her to think that Yueyue pushed her?"
Seeing that the old lady had spoken in defense of Yu Sheng, Zhou Yanyun and her daughter knew they couldn't say anything more.
"Now that Mom has explained the whole story, let's leave it at that. No one is allowed to mention it again!" Gu Tenghui concluded the matter in the tone of a family head, then said to the old lady with concern, "I'll go and ask Old Zhong to come and take a look at you."
"No need! I was a little anxious just now, and my blood pressure was a bit high. I'll be fine after resting for a while." The old lady waved her hand and said, then asked, "Is the food ready? It's our new daughter-in-law's first day at our home, we can't let her go hungry."
Gu Tenghui: "The food is all prepared. Can you take your seat? If not, I'll have Xiulan bring it over for you."
The old lady smiled and said, "I can't miss the first meal of the new bride's arrival! You go ahead, I'll be right there!"
Gu Tenghui knew why his wise old mother insisted on taking the seat, so he didn't say much and left with a large group of people!
Gu Tenghui guessed the old lady's thoughts, but Xiulan did not. Seeing the old lady get up, she stepped forward to serve her and said, "Madam, you are not feeling well, why do you insist on attending?"
The old lady sneered, "If I don't attend, how can the banquet even take place? The new bride didn't even get a meal on her first day at her husband's family home. If word gets back to her family, won't that cause trouble?"
Xiulan: "Madam, you are so thoughtful."
