She barely slept a wink all night, and only when dawn was breaking did Qian Youxue finally manage to fall asleep. She slept for less than three hours before the arrival of the old lady woke her again.
The old lady was worried all night, and early in the morning she was kept by Qian Sheng to talk about some things in the palace. After she finished dealing with them, she rushed over immediately.
Seeing that Youxue's complexion was much better than yesterday, and after asking Lianxin who said there was nothing unusual about her that night, she finally felt a little relieved.
"Grandmother, Youxue just doesn't have the strength, so you don't need to worry too much." Qian Youxue felt sorry for her grandmother, who was so old and always worried about her.
"It's alright, it's alright. You should rest well. Grandmother will... Ouch..." The old lady was in excruciating pain as she stood up, supporting her back with one hand. It took her a while to stand up.
Qian Youxue could tell that her grandmother's old ailment had flared up again. She wondered if that miracle worker could cure her grandmother's stubborn illness.
A thought flashed through her mind, and she bit her lip, looking at the old woman Chen who was serving her, and pleaded, "Old woman Chen, please persuade Grandmother not to worry about Youxue so much."
Granny Chen knew that the young lady was a sensible child and had not forgotten the old lady's love over the years. She smiled kindly and nodded, then helped the old lady slowly walk out of the room.
The old lady walked to the door and saw Granny Yang. She deliberately shouted sternly, "Take good care of the young lady. If I find out who has bullied her, beware of my silver cane."
"Yes, yes, yes, this old servant will certainly serve you well." Granny Yang was so frightened that she lowered her head and dared not look up.
After the old lady left, no one entered Qian Youxue's room. Lianxin served her as usual, letting her eat and sleep as she pleased.
For the next two days, the old lady did not come, but sent Granny Chen to visit and bring some pastries that Qian Youxue liked.
As promised to Qian Bowen, Madam Su arranged for Qian Youxue to visit him once a day. However, each time, she had Granny Yang stand guard nearby, trying to keep Qian Youxue away from the bedside.
Because of her suspicions, Qian Youxue paid special attention to the atmosphere in the house every time she came, noting some faint smells.
As her spiritual power increased, her senses also became much sharper, allowing her to notice even the most subtle details. And in the past two days, she had become completely certain that wolf-fireworks had been added to Qian Bowen's medicine. She guessed that her mother had done this because Qian Bowen was in too much pain. As for how she knew about Qian Bowen's illness, she hadn't yet figured it out.
Knock knock knock!
As night fell, just as she was about to rest, the old lady suddenly arrived.
The arrival of her grandmother made Qian Youxue feel uneasy, and after hearing what her grandmother said, she felt even more that something might happen.
The old lady stepped forward and sat down by the bed. She took Qian Youxue's hand and said softly, "Youxue looks much better. If there's nothing seriously wrong, why don't you move back in tomorrow?"
Qian Youxue blinked in confusion and nodded to her grandmother.
Her mother had visited her these past two days, bringing lots of delicious food and clothes—a treatment the original owner had never received in all these years. She even smiled at her mother the other day, and their relationship had become much more harmonious.
Grandmother didn't want to give Mother a chance to prove herself, so why did she suddenly ask her to move back home?
Just then, Su's voice came from outside: "Mother, why are you here so late?"
