Chapter 262: Being Plotted
Unfortunately, no matter how much Lin Zhixian cried and begged, the Three Fairies never woke up.
Lin Zhixian felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and he cried uncontrollably.
It was only after Aunt Zhen and Chang Chunning persuaded her that she managed to calm herself down.
"Aunt Zhen, wasn't my mother fine before? How come she suddenly became like this?" Lin Zhixian asked Aunt Zhen while sobbing.
"Your mother said that you were studying outside and that we couldn't disturb her, so she never told you." Aunt Zhen said, "About a month ago, your mother felt a little uncomfortable, had no appetite, and was more tired than usual. Not long after, she became thinner. We neighbors noticed it and advised her to go to the hospital for a checkup. Your mother also thought it was abnormal, so she followed our advice and went to the hospital for a physical examination. The results showed that her blood sugar was a little high. If she didn't control it, she would easily get diabetes. So your mother paid more attention to her diet, but who knew that she suddenly fell into a coma."
"How did you find out that she was unconscious? Was there an accident in the shop?" Lin Zhixian asked.
"No." Aunt Zhen shook her head. "Your mother is very hardworking. She is not afraid to go to the bottom of the bridge to beat the villain. She opens the store at nine o'clock every day and closes at nine o'clock in the evening. We didn't see your mother come out to open the store the day before yesterday. We thought she was busy and didn't pay attention. As a result, we didn't see your mother come out yesterday. Your aunt Zhao and I remembered that your mother was not in good health recently. We are worried. We were worried so we went to check on her. Of course, the door was locked. Then we asked the neighbors and they said they hadn’t seen your mother for the past two days. We didn’t know whether she had gone out or was still inside. We had no choice but to ask Ah Fai to climb over the balcony next door to see what was going on. We found your mother lying unconscious on the bed. We rushed her to the hospital.”
Lin Zhixian couldn't help but cover his mouth, tears streaming down his face.
"It's all our fault. If we had been more careful the day before and had come to look for her earlier, maybe the Three Fairies would have woken up a long time ago." Aunt Zhen said with guilt: "Ah Xian, Aunt Zhen is sorry for you."
Lin Zhixian shook his head: "Aunt Zhen, don't say that. No one could have thought of such a thing. This time it's all thanks to you guys for realizing something was wrong and coming to look for me. If it wasn't for——"
Lin Zhixian really couldn't imagine what would happen if Sanxiangu was found unconscious at home for several days.
I'm afraid that the news she received was already the death of Sanxiangu.
"Anyway, thank you very much this time." Lin Zhixian bowed to Aunt Zhen.
She knew very well that Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhao were just neighbors, not their blood relatives, and they had no obligations to the Three Fairies. She was the one who had obligations.
It was because she did not stay at home that such a dangerous thing happened to Sanxiangu.
Not only would she not resent Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhao, she would be grateful to them.
"Where's the doctor? Is the doctor here? I want to ask about my mother's condition." Lin Zhixian wiped away his tears.
"The doctor should rest now," said Aunt Zhen.
"Then let's wait until tomorrow." Lin Zhixian also knew that there was no other way. The hospital has its own rules and regulations. It is impossible for them to wait there all the time just because you come at a certain time.
"What did the doctor say before? What disease does my mother have?" Lin Zhixian asked.
"That's the weird part," Auntie Zhen said. "Your mom's blood sugar is a little high, but it's not the level of diabetes. It's impossible for her to be unconscious. But the doctor checked your mom's body from head to toe and couldn't find any fatal cause, but your mom just wouldn't wake up."
"She's getting weaker and weaker. The doctor said that if your mother doesn't wake up, she may never wake up again." Aunt Zhen pulled Lin Zhixian and whispered, "Ah Xian, is it possible that your mother was contaminated by something dirty?"
Lin Zhixian was nervous, but denied it: "If my mother was accidentally contaminated with something dirty, she should have noticed it herself. It is impossible for someone to take her away silently like this."
"That's hard to say." Old Man Chunshan suddenly said.
"Grandpa." Lin Zhixian turned his head and looked at Old Man Chunshan: "Did you see something?"
"Who is this--" Aunt Zhen had never heard that Lin Zhixian had a grandfather, so she couldn't help but look at old man Chunshan with curiosity.
"This is my grandfather's good friend, and my adopted grandfather." Lin Zhixian introduced him casually, and walked to the side of Old Man Chunshan impatiently: "Grandpa, has my mother really been plotted against?"
Old Man Chunshan nodded and said, "Your mother's condition is obviously caused by something that happened in the ancestral tomb, so it fell on your mother."
"Ancestral tomb?" Lin Zhixian put aside his sad mood, looked at himself with his divine eye, and then looked at the Third Fairy. Sure enough, he saw the black aura lingering around her.
Lin Zhixian's expression changed involuntarily: "Lin Deyu. It must be him who did it."
The Feng Shui master they offended and had a mortal enemy against was Lin Deyu.
"Grandpa, half a year ago we took back our Lin family's ancestral house from Lin Deyu. At first my mom and I thought it might not be easy, but we asked Lin Deyu to move out within three days, and he really moved out. We asked him to pay the rent for these years, and he paid it all."
"Very clean and neat, totally unlike his personality." Lin Zhixian said, "Just ask Senior Brother Chang and you'll know. Lin Deyu has no affection for us mother and daughter. Last year, I participated in the Xuanmen rookie competition. In the first round of the preliminary round, just because Senior Brother Chang and I performed well and got full marks, he wrongly accused us of cheating. Later, it was Senior Brother Chang who decisively called the police to investigate and cleared our name. Later, in the semi-finals, he used his privileges to increase the difficulty of the competition questions and adjusted the order, hoping to eliminate me."
"Given his personality, he shouldn't just keep silent about this loss. At the time, we thought he was going to mess with the feng shui of our ancestral home, but now it seems he is messing with our ancestral tomb."
Lin Zhixian gritted his teeth.
Old Man Chunshan said, "Guessing is useless. You will know once you go and see it."
Lin Zhixian wanted to check on the ancestral tomb immediately, but Elder Chunshan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Although your mother's condition is critical, she will be fine for a while. You have been running around for most of the day. Find a place to eat first, then take a nap, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixian had to suppress his anxiety.
She and Chang Chunning were fine, as they were only in their twenties and could stay up for a few nights without any problem. But old Chunshan was not like that, as she was already in her seventies.
In order to teach her Feng Shui, she had accompanied her to travel all over Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Now, because her mother had to travel back in spite of the storm, she really couldn't drag her to visit the ancestral tomb right away.
"Okay." Lin Zhixian said, "The furniture has already been arranged for the new house, so you can move in directly. I'll take you there later. As for food, you can buy it when you see it on the road."
Lin Zhixian turned around and said to Aunt Zhen, "Aunt Zhen, my mother still needs your help to look after her for a while. I will take my grandfather and senior brother home and settle them down, then I will come to take over from you."
