Chapter 232: Grandmother, waiting for Yun chu

"Second younger brother, this resentment is quite deep; I even want to go to the Regent Prince's Manor to beg a bowl of soup to drink." Kang Lian said, bursting into hearty laughter; that hearty laugh was rarely seen on his uncle.

What does that indicate?

Indeed, it is true!

I never expected grandmother to be so cute!

Jiang Yunchu laughed heartily, "I didn't consider it thoroughly; next time I'll stew more and give everyone some to drink."

However, because the medicinal ingredients differ, the soup to be stewed will have a different taste.

Grandmother's body is severely depleted; she cannot be tonified, and the required dosage is very stringent.

This time she used few medicinal ingredients, and they only have the effect of strengthening the body, so everyone can drink it together; however, children cannot drink it.

Good, it looks like I'll have blessings to eat from now on." Kang Second Uncle burst into laughter, though his face twisted slightly, after all, the madam's grip is quite strong…

Over the meal, host and guest enjoyed themselves fully.

The children drank the fruit tea they had longed for, and ate delicious things; each no longer resembled little adults, but instead showed a bit of childishness.

Yun chu, if you have time, come more often to the Kang Clan for meals; grandmother will also cook for you." Grandmother held Yun chu's hand, her eyes fixed on her, unwilling to let go.

Mother, Yun chu doesn't live far; when the time comes I'll go fetch her, alright?" Kang Second Uncle coaxed softly.

But the old lady seemed not to hear his words, willfully holding Yun chu's hand and refusing to let go.

Grandmother, Yun chu will come back to keep you company when she has time, alright?" In that moment, Jiang Yunchu also felt a bit sentimental; the deeper the contact, the more she could feel everyone's affection for her, and the harder it was to let go.

Good, good." Grandmother smiled; her silver hair had turned white, her hands were somewhat dry and rough, bearing age spots, her eyes somewhat cloudy, but that stubborn gaze had never changed.

Zhuang Miao turned around, wiped the corners of her eyes; raising children makes one know parents' grace. After her daughter married far away in Jiangnan, she only then knew the reluctance and dependence of elders toward juniors.

Sometimes it's not that the child can't let go; actually, those who can't let go are often the adults.

Princess Consort, we must go." Zi Su prepared the carriage, then jumped down, bowed before Jiang Yunchu, and then said.

Jiang Yunchu stepped forward and hugged grandmother.

Grandmother, wait for Yun chu.

The soft words, by grandmother's ear, everyone watched this scene; for a moment, hearts felt reluctant.

Zhuang Miao and Kang Mengxian knew Yun chu's plan, knew why she was thus; if they were in the capital, she could still find time to come, but having left the capital for Jiangnan…

Mountains high, waters far; her travels between the two places take over half a month on the road.

After this, meeting face to face becomes even more difficult.

Good, grandmother waits, waits for my little Yun chu." Grandmother smiled, her eyes were crescent; even though her eyelids drooped, they were still the most beautiful eyes, because within them lay only care.

They left; the Regent Prince's Manor's carriage swayed gently as it departed from the Kang Fu.

Mother, let's go back; Yun chu and they have already gone far." Kang Old Two supported the old lady and said softly.

At this moment, he also no longer had his previous frivolous, world-weary attitude.

Wait a bit more.

The old lady stubbornly said a sentence, then her eyes gazed toward the departing direction; only after half an hour did she finally withdraw her gaze.

They've left.

People laughed, slowly turning around.

Kang Mei supported the other arm; that day she dared not return to the General's Manor, always staying by the old lady's side.

Are you still okay?" Jiang Yun Hui looked worriedly at her sister; the sister usually either reads books or teases herself, rarely being this quiet.

Thinking of grandmother's body, she also felt a bit regretful.

Not good." Only saw the person opposite lightly shake her head; the lipstick that had been covering her lips, because of eating, had already faded somewhat, and the bloodless lips leaked a bit.

Her whole person felt somewhat fatigued; the sensation of heaviness in her lower abdomen grew increasingly heavy.

Have you come to Gui Shui?" Jiang Yun Hui immediately realized something.

At the moment she asked the question, Jiang Yunchu's sharp gaze shot over, "What do you know?"

Jiang Yun Hui startled and shrank back a bit; she had never seen her sister have such a gaze before.

Every time you come to Gui Shui, you're like this half-dead state; what should I know?" She also felt a bit bewildered, not understanding why her sister suddenly asked that.

Seeing her expression, Jiang Yunchu silently breathed a sigh of relief; Jiang Yun Hui didn't know!

Only the elders know what happened back then.

But regarding the elders, since they don't want to speak, she can't circumvent it, nor can she adopt a hard attitude; she can only wait, wait for them to want to speak, or wait until she sees through.

How about it? Should we call a physician? Never mind, I'll return to the Kang Fu and have grandfather submit a note to the Imperial Medical Institute." Jiang Yun Hui stood up, face full of worry, about to leave the carriage.

After so many years, I didn't expect sister's old ailment to still be present.

Jiang Yunchu pulled her a bit, but just that pull, Jiang Yun Hui turned and gripped her hand, then felt her forehead: "You're feverish."

You should rest today." Jiang Yun Hui spoke, with some resentment, but more so worry.

Where would there be so much time to rest?

Jiang Yunchu brushed off her hand, revealing a slightly weak expression: "It's fine; I estimate I'll be better by tomorrow."

Today is already the third day; under normal circumstances, the pain will lessen on the fourth day.

Looking at her all-over fatigue, Jiang Yun Hui had many questions, but swallowed them down.

The carriage arrived at the Regent Prince's Manor; Zi Su softly said, "The Princess Consort has arrived."

However, Jiang Yun Hui opened the carriage curtain; the two little ones, just having left the Kang Fu, were already asleep, and were placed on a side platform.

Now the sister also squints her eyes while leaning; one can see how tired she is.

Has the Princess Consort seen the manor's physician?" Jiang Yun Hui asked anxiously.

Zi Su looked inside and roughly knew the situation.

I've checked; the manor's physician said the Princess Consort is overly fatigued, though she had taken medicine before with no effect; what should hurt still hurts, what should fatigue still fatigues.

Zi Su sighed and also did not conceal anything.

Remember the date; next month, you must start two or three days early, let the Princess Consort rest—you may not do anything. If she doesn't listen, come find me.

Jiang Yun Hui solemnly instructed, then suddenly remembered something: "You must definitely remember—this matter cannot be left to her."

Zi Su glanced at the Jiang family's second young lady, then smiled and agreed.

She was happy for her master, and the master also now had someone caring for him.
