Chapter 180 Jin Cheng is worried about Xu Wan

"My grandmother punished me by making me kneel in the ancestral hall," said Zong Wenxiu.

"Oh, the punishment was good. Not beating him was considered light." Zong Jincheng commented without hesitation.

Zong Wenxiu: “???”

That's not really something you would say.

He thought his younger brother would plead for He Zheng. After all, he was his good brother since childhood. It seemed that his younger brother had really grown up, which made him very relieved.

The two brothers said nothing more. Zong Jincheng poked his head in, but was too embarrassed to go in. When he saw Cuizhi coming out, the little devil asked hurriedly, "Is she awake?"

Cuizhi shook her head and said, "No, if Master Cheng is worried, you can go in and take a look."

The little devil immediately retracted his gaze and said awkwardly: "I'm not worried about her."

Cuizhi shook her head helplessly and continued to ask someone to change the ice towel.

The old marquis said, "Wenxiu, Jincheng, go back to study first. If Wan'er wakes up, I will send someone to tell you."

Zong Wenxiu was very worried: "But..."

"Go ahead. There's no point in waiting here. We're here to protect you. Study hard. That's the only way to live up to your aunt's teachings."

"Yes, grandpa, let's go now." Zong Wenxiu was enlightened and wanted to take his brother away immediately.

Zong Jincheng pushed him away and trotted in to see Xu Wan.

There was an imperial physician taking the patient's pulse by the bed, and my grandmother and second aunt were standing nearby waiting. Xu Wan, who was lying on the bed, looked haggard and red-faced, and it was obvious that she had a high fever.

Xu Wan, who had bullied him everyday and compared him to waste in every way, was now lying there so weakly, without a sign of vitality at all.

A long time ago, he hoped to see Xu Wan fall ill so that she would have no time to control him, but now, he did not feel happy at all, and even felt that this was an unfair victory.

Even if he wanted to defeat Xu Wan, he should have done it openly. What's the point of doing this now?

Zong Jincheng turned around and ran away.

Zong Wenxiu didn't understand what was wrong with him, so he quickly said goodbye to his grandfather and chased after him: "Jincheng, run slower, wait for me."

The little devil kicked flowers and grass all the way. He was in a bad mood anyway. He followed his brother to the big study room to study in a daze. He finally made it to noon when school was over. When he went out, he heard Shunzi say that Xu Wan had woken up.

The boy's eyes lit up instantly and he ran straight to her yard.

Shunzi chased after him and shouted, "Young Master, you haven't eaten yet. The old lady said that you should finish eating before going over..."

Zong Jincheng heard it but pretended not to hear it. He ran faster and faster and stopped in Xu Wan's courtyard, panting.

The imperial physician and the court physician had both left, and there were fewer maids waiting in the courtyard. It was no longer as chaotic as it had been in the morning, but this also meant that she was not in any serious trouble.

When Zong Jincheng entered, he saw his grandmother sitting by the bed, taking care of Xu Wan. One of them wanted to feed her eagerly and tenderly, while the other terrifiedly said she could do it herself. The two of them started to pull each other like this, and neither of them got to eat a single bite of the food.

Baili Weihong smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, let me do it. Since ancient times, daughters-in-law have taken care of their mothers-in-law more often than mothers-in-law have taken care of their daughters-in-law. I'm afraid sister-in-law will feel embarrassed. She just woke up and is hungry, and it would be even worse to refuse."

The old lady didn't know where to put her maternal love, but knowing Xu Wan's character, she knew it would be difficult for her to accept her at this moment, so she wanted to give the job to Baili Weihong, but when she turned around, she saw the little devil.

The old lady's eyes lit up and she said quickly, "Jincheng, come here."

Zong Jincheng widened his eyes and pointed at himself: "Me?"

He just came here, how did he receive this arrangement?

The old lady nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's you. Your mother worked so hard and suffered from cold because of you. As her only child, shouldn't you take care of her? Think about it, when you were sick a few days ago, you asked her to feed you for a few days. Did your mother say anything?"

Zong Jincheng was silenced by what he said.

That's right, although he deliberately asked Xu Wan to take care of him at that time, she really didn't resist at all. She came diligently every day and didn't leave even if he made her angry.

While Zong Jincheng was stunned, the old lady had already handed the tray to him and left the house with Baili Weihong.

Zong Jincheng looked at Xu Wan who was lying on the bed.

An awkward mood instantly filled the room.

Both of them were so embarrassed that they wanted to tap their toes on the ground.

The mother and son had been fighting for half a year, and they disliked each other. It was good enough that they didn't quarrel when they met. She even asked him to take care of her meals, which was strange no matter how you looked at it.

Not to mention Zong Jincheng, Xu Wan also found it extremely strange. She could still be a little affectionate with Wen Xiu, but forget it with this boy. It was good enough that they didn't quarrel.

"If you can't, just go and ask your aunt to come in..."

Xu Wan was just halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Zong Jincheng: "Okay, why not?"

As he said this, he really brought over a tray with a bowl of lean meat porridge on it, which was for her.

Xu Wan was stunned. She had felt that there was something wrong with this boy recently, and now she found it even stranger. The little bastard suddenly became easier to talk to, his temper became better, and he was not so harsh when he talked back.

I am about to put the tray on the small table and bring the porridge over...

Before Xu Wan could figure it out, she said, "Give me the spoon, I'll do it myself."

Zong Jincheng felt that he was being rejected, and immediately said anxiously: "No, can you handle it yourself? You still reject me."

Xu Wan said speechlessly: "I can't lift it, so I just want the spoon."

Zong Jincheng: “…”

I was overthinking it and thought she was going to carry the bowl herself.

He handed her the spoon, held the bowl forward, and asked awkwardly, "You really don't want me to feed you? If you regret it, I won't feed you again."

Xu Wan took the spoon and started eating. After taking a bite, she replied, "No need. Do you think I'm as childish as you and let others feed me on purpose? I like to do things independently. Independent, independent, understand?"

Zong Jincheng snorted and retorted, "And then you get sick independently?"

"What else? You'll get sick with me?" Xu Wan said as she continued eating.

Zong Jincheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "You wish for the best. I am in very good health, stronger than a bull. I will not get sick with you!"

"Oh, Bull Demon King." Xu Wan said perfunctorily.

Zong Jincheng: “!!”

Damn, they actually gave him a nickname, and it’s so ugly!!

The little devil was getting irritated and his temper was about to explode. Even Xu Wan expected that he would throw the bowl and leave, but the boy glared at her fiercely with a red face, and then continued to sit by the bed and bring her the bowl.

"?"

Xu Wan was surprised.

It's so strange that he didn't get angry and leave, nor did he talk back.

Did this brat secretly sign up for an emotion control class without her knowing?
