After leaving Old Mrs. i’s room, Ye Qing went directly to Xie Lingzhi’s room. There was nothing in her and i Shuping’s room. However, she did manage to dig out their savings.
The passbook showed tens of thousands of yuan. Tsk tsk, they’re not that wealthy, despite how accommodating Ye Qing has been to Xie Lingzhi, and in the end, there’s just this little money, which may not even end up in her hands.
After Ye Qing ca out, she went to Mr. i’s study, where there were only so decorations and books.
These decorations were quite ordinary, and Ye Qing couldn’t tell how valuable they were. While rummaging through Mr. i’s cabinet, she found a locked cabinet door. She searched for a long ti but couldn’t find the key.
Helplessly, she crouched down to take a peek, and it turned out to be quite revealing as Ye Qing discovered so things.
Inside were rolled-up paintings and several porcelain pieces.
No doubt these were antiques.
Ye Qing smiled in the dark; even though she didn’t know how to open it, discovering the treasure’s location was enough. A re lock wasn’t going to stop her.
Ye Qing didn’t go to i Shuping’s study. She concluded that i Shuping’s study was similar to their bedroom and wouldn’t have anything good.
She didn’t know that, in fact, Xie Lingzhi had hidden a few things given to her by Old Mrs. i over the years in i Shuping’s study.
...
On the hospital side, Old Mrs. i was fine, rely frightened, passing out for a mont, but she woke up shortly after arriving at the hospital. After all, she’s getting old, and such a scare left her complexion pale. She would definitely need to be on an IV for a few days.
As for Mr. i, he fell and broke his nasal bridge. He was currently undergoing surgery and hadn’t woken up during the procedure.
It was already late at night when the surgery finished.
Mr. i’s fall was quite serious—not only was his nose badly injured, his mind was sowhat disoriented, and his lips were swollen like sausages, making speaking temporarily difficult. His leg was injured at the knee, which was bruised and purple. Whether he can stand with it remains unknown, everything hinges on i Erqing waking up.
Chen Haichang was quite happy seeing i Erqing in this state, secretly thinking the fall was too mild, and at this mont, he leaned against the wall and silently wished for Mr. i’s leg to be rendered useless too.
i Shuping contacted the hospital leaders, specifically getting a three-bed room for the elderly couple, with an extra bed conveniently accommodating anyone staying overnight.
On this night, none of the i Family mbers left. Tonight was a critical period; if Mr. i doesn’t wake up, he would be no different from a vegetable.
i Langchi sat by Old Mrs. i’s bedside, having just lulled her to sleep.
i Shuping and i Shuqing were weighed down with heavy thoughts, while their wives dozed off in chairs beside them.
Chen Haichang also didn’t leave; he was waiting for Mr. i to wake up and witness his predicant.
Han Yi was indifferent to them, napping in the corridor outside.
After keeping vigil all night, Lin Wan went to the old residence the next day, planning to have Aunt Wu prepare so light porridge so I could take Little Star to the hospital.
Upon entering, she saw Xiao Wang’s car hastily pull into the living room.
Aunt Wu was aiding the feverish and disoriented Ye Qing downstairs.
"First Young Madam, Third Young Madam has a fever of forty-one degrees; Xiao Wang and I are about to take her to the hospital." Aunt Wu explained hurriedly upon seeing Lin Wan.
Lin Wan glanced at Hua Hua beside Ye Qing, then at Ye Qing, who was nearly fainting, blinking her eyes.
"You all help her into the car first. Aunt Wu, you stay ho to take care of Hua Hua. At lunch, just prepare a light soup for Old Mrs. i and Mr. i. I happen to need to go to the hospital, so I’ll take her along."
"Is... this alright?" Aunt Wu knew the two young ladies were contentious. After yesterday’s uproar, letting First Young Madam take Third Young Madam along could lead to trouble if anything occurred en route.
"Why not? In my condition, with Xiao Wang here, what can happen to her under my watch?" Even if sothing occurred, it would rely be pinching Ye Qing a couple of tis when she’s weak.
But Aunt Wu didn’t give her that chance and directly seated Ye Qing in the car in front.
Lin Wan and Little Star sat behind.
Judging by Ye Qing’s state, she seed severely ill, not lifting her eyes the entire way. Lin Wan wasn’t sure what was wrong, but seeing her still-swollen, reddened face, she appeared to be burning.
Yesterday she was drenched in cold water; returning ho, she would have felt awkward going to the bathhouse. Even heated water at ho wouldn’t warm the place entirely. Furthermore, she slapped herself severely last night. Such circumstances naturally led to illness.
After arriving at the hospital, Lin Wan instructed Xiao Wang to take Ye Qing to the ergency room, while she took Little Star to find Mr. i’s ward.
"Mom, look, is Dad over there sleeping?" On the corridor’s long bench, Han Yi and Chen Haichang sat with their arms crossed, heads lowered and eyes closed, just like that, asleep.
Despite the ti and the crowds passing by, they both managed to sleep.
After Lin Wan and Little Star walked over, they bent down to check, then exchanged smiles, didn’t wake them, and proceeded directly to the ward.
Inside the ward, Old Mrs. i was awake, receiving an IV on her bed.
Mr. i, however, had yet to regain consciousness.
Both i Shuqing and i Shuping had dark circles under their eyes, clearly not having slept last night.
"Why did you co here, big belly brimming? It’s crowded here; you didn’t have to co." The weather outside was cold, and Liang Qian worried Lin Wan would catch a cold, sothing dangerous at this ti.
"How can I not co when it’s my grandparents who are ill? Is she delicate? Just take a look at my Ah Qing. She’s surely busy at ho making soup for her grandma." Xie Lingzhi cast Lin Wan a disdainful glance, still upset about last night.
