C4 I Believe Him
Inside the conservatory.
Chiang Jiao knelt on the ground and said softly: "Grandmother, Jiao was unfilial and was unable to come to see you immediately. Please forgive me, Grandmother."
"It's already very rare for you to come back and see an old skeleton like me." Seeing Chiang Jiao's cold expression all year round, Mrs. Wen said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that an old bone like me would annoy you so much. Do you and your husband both want me to die early?"
"Lin Xiao and Jiao are stupid, they made Grandmother unhappy, Jiao gave Grandmother..."
"Alright!" Without waiting for Chiang Jiao to finish speaking, he coldly snorted and said: "The Chiang family's ancestral industry is huge and involves a lot of things. As a woman, it's disgraceful for you to show your face in public. I think it's better for you to hand over the ancestral industry of B City that you manage to Chiang Rui."
Mrs. Wen's attitude was unyielding, directly removing Chiang Jiao's privileges in the Chiang family.
Chiang Jiao suddenly stood up straight, and frowned: "Grandmother wants Chiang Jiao to be a woman who doesn't go out?"
In the Chu Dynasty, men and women were equal. What men could do, their daughters could do as well.
There was no such thing as a woman showing her face in public and disgracing the family.
"I know you're capable." Mrs. Wen glanced at Lin Xiao as she spoke. "If you want to blame someone, blame this husband of yours for being disappointing. If he treats me like this now, it will inevitably bring trouble to the Chiang's in the future. Hand over the account books to Chiang Rui as soon as possible. Don't delay!"
After saying this.
Mrs. Wen didn't care if Chiang Jiao agreed or not, she turned to look at Chiang Rui: "Grandson, you were originally taking care of the B City medicine store, and now you're taking over the ancestral business of B City, can you take care of it?"
At this moment, Mrs. Wen's eyes were filled with love, completely different from the cold and unyielding attitude she had towards Chiang Jiao!
"It is my fortune to be able to share Grandmother's worries. Grandmother, please rest assured, I will definitely shoulder the ancestral business and make Grandmother feel at ease!" After Chiang Rui finished speaking respectfully, he glanced at Chiang Jiao with disdain and said proudly: "Chiang Jiao, you won't blame me for suddenly taking away your power, right?"
Chiang Jiao's beautiful face did not change, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart.
She had accompanied her grandfather to travel around the world since she was a child. Her talent and knowledge were not something Chiang Rui could compare to. She calculated the Chiang Clan's income at the age of eight, opened a tea house at the age of twelve, a cloth dye shop at the age of fifteen, and took charge of the ancestral business of B City on behalf of her grandfather at the age of seventeen. She had contributed greatly to the Chiang Clan's current situation.
He never would have thought that ten years of hard work would go to someone else.
"Since Grandmother has already decided, then Jiao will leave first." Chiang Jiao disdained to pay attention to Chiang Rui. The Chu Dynasty governed the country with filial piety, and since Grandmother had spoken, she could not disobey.
"Go." The old lady waved her hand.
They walked out of the pavilion.
Mrs Liu cursed, "Lin Xiao, how long are you going to drag my daughter down for?! Everyone else is a husband outside and a wife inside. You piece of trash, you want my daughter to run around outside to support you? Now that you caused my daughter to lose her ancestral business, how can you still have the face to stay in our house?!"
"Time's up. Something's going to happen to the old lady," Lin Xiao suddenly said.
"You still dare to curse the old lady?" Mrs Liu was furious.
Chiang Jiao looked at Lin Xiao, "What did you say?"
Lin Xiao did not say anything, and turned to look at the warm pavilion. Just at this moment, screams suddenly came from the warm pavilion.
"Mother!"
"Grandmother!"
"Old Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"What's going on?" Chiang Jiao looked at Lin Xiao.
"Chiang Rui's acupuncture technique is wrong. I reminded them." Lin Xiao said.
Chiang Jiao frowned.
Chiang Rui had always been obstinate and obstinate. In order to please his grandmother, he would do anything. If he were to perform acupuncture on his grandmother, he would be so arrogant that he would misdiagnose her illness and kill her!
At this moment, the pavilion was in a mess.
When Chiang Jiao came in, Chiang Rui was instructing people to pinch the old lady. He was kneeling on the ground in a panic, taking the old lady's pulse.
"How's Grandmother doing!" Chiang Jiao rushed forward.
"Grandmother's pulse is extremely weak, I'm afraid... I'm afraid she's not going to make it..." Chiang Rui said in fear.
Everyone from the Chiang family was stunned.
The old lady was fine a moment ago, but why did she suddenly collapse?
Looking at the old lady who was lying on the bed with a deathly pale face, everyone in the Chiang family panicked.
"Chiang Rui, quickly think of a way!" Someone shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, I know acupuncture, I know!" Chiang Rui suddenly came back to his senses and started acupuncture again, but after a long while, Mrs. Wen, who was lying on the bed, did not move at all.
"I... I can't! Hurry up and invite Divine Doctor Tang over, hurry up!" Chiang Rui's face was ashen, and he was sweating profusely.
This time, the old lady fainted in an extremely strange manner. His medical skills were completely ineffective.
"Divine Doctor Tang went out to travel three days ago, and is not in B City!" The butler said anxiously.
"What did you say?" Chiang Rui was completely flustered: "Grandmother's condition is strange, even I can't do anything about it. Other than the Divine Doctor Tang of B City, no one can save Grandmother!"
The surprise came too quickly, and everyone was at a loss of what to do.
Chiang Jiao looked at her grandmother, whose breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and suddenly remembered what Lin Xiao had said just now. She immediately walked out of the pavilion.
"You knew Grandmother would be like this?"
"Yes." Lin Xiao's tone was calm.
"You have a way?"
"Yes."
"Follow me in!" Chiang Jiao was burning with anxiety.
"I don't want to save him."
Chiang Jiao was stunned.
This was the first time in three years that Lin Xiao had rejected her request.
"No matter what she did, she's still my grandmother. Do you want her to die?" Chiang Jiao calmed down and stared at Lin Xiao with his bright eyes.
"I don't care about her life or death."
Chiang Jiao held back his tears and said angrily: "Then what about me, you don't care either?"
Hearing this, the coldness in Lin Xiao's heart slightly melted.
Chiang Jiao, oh Chiang Jiao, we've been married for three years, and you're finally willing to say that I care about your words?
The pavilion.
Seeing Chiang Jiao bring Lin Xiao back, everyone was furious.
"Chiang Jiao, why did you bring this trash back? Can he save Grandmother?!" Chiang Rui was furious.
"He can."
Chiang Rui was so angry that he laughed: "You probably forgot that this trash almost cured someone to death! Let me tell you, Grandmother's condition is critical right now, and her life and death are unknown. If something happens, you and this piece of trash will have to pay for Grandmother's life! "
A year ago, Lin Xiao had indeed almost died in his own clinic. This matter was extremely sensational, and if not for Chiang Jiao, Lin Xiao would have been a prisoner long ago.
However, the situation was urgent, and he had no time to care about anything else.
"What can a man do if he is not a saint? Just because Lin Xiao pointed out that your acupuncture technique was wrong, I believe that he can save Grandmother. If he can't, I'm willing to pay for Grandmother's life with my life together with him!" Chiang Jiao's attitude was firm.
"Alright, you said it yourself." Chiang Rui sneered.
He didn't care about his grandmother's life or death at all. After all, his grandmother had just given him an order, and he was already the actual master of the Chiang's ancestral industry. It would be better if his grandmother died. At least the fact that he was in charge of the ancestral industry wouldn't change.
"I want to see how a piece of trash like you is going to cure Grandmother." Chiang Rui looked at Lin Xiao complacently.
"Chiang Rui, clean your mouth!" Chiang Jiao's tone was cold.
"You think I really want to treat your Chiangs?" Lin Xiao stared at Chiang Rui with the same disdain: "If it wasn't for Chiang Jiao, even if your Chiang family gave me ten thousand gold, I wouldn't have taken action."
With that, he went straight into the conservatory.
Looking at Lin Xiao's background, Chiang Jiao was a little stunned.
Was this still the dumb and silent Lin Xiao from before?
He was still the same person, but for some reason, Lin Xiao seemed to be different from before.
However...
Could he really cure his grandmother?
Chiang Jiao's expression was complicated.
