Chapter 811 Visiting and Testing
Xiangying.
Shen Zhuang regained consciousness the second night after his fever subsided. Shen Jiao had been taking care of him at his bedside for the past few days, and she had visibly lost weight. Shen Zhuang felt so distressed that he simply asked all the visitors to leave the room, leaving only Doctor Meng to watch over her.
However, there are always exceptions.
"grandfather."
Jiang Huashan pushed the door open with a bunch of brilliant sunflowers in her arms.
Now, everyone in the old house and the Shen family mansion knew how important this legitimate princess from Jinggang was in the old man's heart. Therefore, even though Shen Zhuanggang had just dismissed everyone, no one dared to stop her.
Shen Zhuang was swallowing a pill with water. When he heard the voice, he looked up and a genuine smile instantly appeared between his eyebrows.
"Hey, Xiaohuaer is here to see grandpa?"
"Yes." Jiang Huashan smiled lightly and handed the bunch of vibrant sunflowers in her arms to Dr. Meng beside her. "Dr. Meng, please find a beautiful vase to put them in."
"Okay, Miss Jiang." Dr. Meng respectfully accepted the bouquet, nodded, and left the inner room.
Jiang Huashan carefully observed Shen Zhuang's complexion and asked, "Grandpa, are you feeling better?
"Much better." Shen Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted the back of her hand. "Are you scared?"
Jiang Huashan had a premonition about this illness. She wasn't frightened, but she felt truly distressed when she saw the old man's sick and haggard appearance.
She nodded, her tone filled with a bit of coquettishness and concern: "Grandpa, you are old now, so you should put aside the family affairs if you can. Your health is the most important thing."
"Okay, okay, Grandpa got it." Shen Zhuang responded readily with a kind smile, "It's rare to have some quiet time, can you talk to Grandpa?"
"Okay."
Jiang Huashan sat down on the embroidered cushion beside the bed and talked about the interesting things she had experienced in Huaicheng with lively eyes.
Ever since Shen Zhuang confessed to her about his past with Jiang Xin, Jiang Huashan no longer avoided talking about the past.
When she talked about the experience of playing around under the white tea tree as a child and her grandmother clearing her throat to sing opera, Shen Zhuang's expression gradually became peaceful and distant.
Although Jiang Xin was trapped in that dramatic time, he still raised Xiaohua so well. Whenever he thought of this, his mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.
"dad."
The atmosphere in the room was peaceful, but suddenly there was a cautious knock on the door.
Shen Zhuang looked up at the door, the smile in his eyes fading slightly. Before he could respond, Shen Yuan had already carefully stepped over the threshold, glanced quickly into the room, and then lowered his head.
"Dad, I...have something I want to discuss with you."
Shen Zhuang instantly regained his usual composure: "Come in."
Shen Yuan hurriedly walked into the inner room, his eyes swept over Jiang Huashan, and a look of just the right amount of surprise appeared on his face: "Shanshan is here too.
Just now when he was outside, Shen Yuan had already heard the sounds of laughter inside. He was just pretending to be ignorant when he said this now.
Jiang Huashan pursed her lips and smiled, then politely greeted him, "Second Uncle."
Shen Yuan nodded, turned to Shen Zhuang, and said with concern: "Dad, are you feeling better?"
Shen Zhuang's expression was calm: "What's the matter? Why do you have to say it now?"
Shen Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Jiang Huashan. Seeing that the old man had no intention of asking her to avoid him, he weighed the pros and cons for a moment and spoke carefully: "It's about Lanlan."
Xiao Lanlan?
Jiang Huashan's eyebrows moved slightly, she lowered her eyes, and fiddled with her slender fingers as if bored.
"Lan Lan?" Shen Zhuang frowned. "Isn't she studying in a monastery? What happened?"
Shen Yuan hurriedly explained: "Dad, Lanlan has been away for almost three years. She really knows she was wrong. When she heard that you were ill, she was very worried about you and wanted to come back to see you."
Shen Zhuang's expression did not change, but his eyes were deep and his emotions could not be seen.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and his words were filled with pleading: "And Xiao'e, she's been staying in Country M for the past three years. Xiao Qi has ignored them, and life has been very difficult. Dad, you've even forgiven An Nian, can you... let Lan Lan come back too?"
Shen Zhuang was silent for a moment, without answering directly. He turned around and gently patted the back of Jiang Huashan's hand, then asked gently, "Xiao Huaer, what do you think?"
This question completely stunned Shen Yuan.
In the Shen family, Shen Zhuang has always been the one making the final decisions on all matters, big or small. When would he ever need to ask for other people's opinions?
Jiang Huashan thought seriously for a moment after hearing this, then raised her head to meet Shen Zhuang's gaze, her voice clear and frank: "Grandpa, I think... if Sister Lanlan really knows she's wrong, then let them come back. After all, it's better for a family to be reunited."
Shen Yuan was stunned and looked at Jiang Huashan in almost disbelief.
The reason why Xiao Lanlan was sent abroad was because of Jiang Huashan's obstruction. Why did this girl become a good person now?
Shen Zhuang pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze back to Shen Yuan's face and said calmly, "Did you hear that?"
Shen Yuan snapped back to his senses, hurriedly concealing the surprise on his face. His joy was evident as he responded repeatedly, "Hey! I heard! Thank you, Dad! I'll go tell Xiao'e the good news right away!"
After Shen Yuan left the inner room, Shen Zhuang sighed softly, "Xiao Hua'er, can you really forgive Lan Lan?"
Jiang Huashan thought for a moment and asked, "What about Grandpa? Can Grandpa forgive me?"
Shen Zhuang paused, his expression unpredictable. "Whether she forgives him or not is up to her."
*
Shen Zhuang is still very weak and needs rest. When Dr. Meng entered the room carrying a vase with flowers, Jiang Huashan immediately stood up and said goodbye.
The old house was not like Shen Garden, which was covered with flowers everywhere. Here, there were lush, century-old trees everywhere. Jiang Huashan stepped on the golden shadows cast between the leaves. As soon as he turned out of the main courtyard, he heard a lot of noise coming from the corridor.
"Let me go! I told you I have no ill intentions. I'm here to treat my clan grandfather!"
"You little brat, I've told you countless times that the chief is awake! He's being taken care of by the renowned doctors of Whale Harbor, so you're no longer needed. If you want to play doctor-patient, go somewhere else and don't be an eyesore here."
"I'm not kidding! My clan grandfather promised me! I..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get him out of here! Doctor Meng said the old man needs to rest. None of us can afford to delay things."
Under the corridor, a group of clansmen from the old house were pushing a young boy. The boy was holding a wooden box in his arms and was dragged from the front to the back of the corridor.
Jiang Huashan frowned, turned and walked into the corridor, and said lazily, "You guys, let that brat go~"
