The east courtyard is some distance away from the front hall. The old man didn't know what happened in front of him, but when he saw Chu Qingwan entering the room, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Chu Qingwan handed the things he brought to Mrs. Song and asked her to make them with her own hands for the old man to eat.
Mrs. Song responded repeatedly and looked at her hesitantly, as if she had something to say.
Chu Qingwan remembered what was told to her and shook her head slightly.
Mrs. Song understood and said with a smile: "Master and Miss, let's talk for a while. I'll go to the small kitchen to see if the tea is ready."
Chu Qingwan approached the bed and asked warmly: "Grandpa, how are you feeling today?"
The old man said: "It doesn't hurt much, I just feel uncomfortable all the time. I think it's because I've been lying down for a long time."
Chu Qingwan nodded: "It will be like this. Grandpa, please relax, you will be able to get out of bed in a few days. This window can be left open on weekdays for ventilation, but it should not be left open because of the cold. It should be closed especially at night."
The old man could always take her words into his heart and did not refute them.
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time. The old man asked about the three milk dumplings as usual, and Chu Qing and Wan both answered that they were very good.
The old man sighed: "I'll never see you again. I'm so worried about it."
Chu Qingwan smiled: "Grandpa, take good medicine and rest peacefully. It won't be long."
While talking, Chu Hua brought the medicine, and Chu Qingwan took it and fed it to the old man one spoonful at a time, carefully and without any trace of impatience.
The bowl of medicine was quickly finished, and the old man was a little tired. Chu Qingwan waited on him for a while, and waited until he fell asleep before getting up to find Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song was currently lecturing a clumsy little girl. When she saw her, she dismissed her and hurriedly came over.
Chu Qingwan asked: "Is there progress so soon?"
She sent Mrs. Song in. Taking care of the old lady was her top priority, and also ordered her to pay attention to the movements of Mrs. Liu and Chu Qingyue.
After all, she got pregnant without anyone knowing it five years ago. She was two days late due to a late pregnancy due to bad food, and the doctor diagnosed her as pregnant.
If she said there was nothing fishy in this, she wouldn't believe it even to death.
After thinking about it, the most suspicious ones are Liu and Chu Qingyue.
Therefore, she specifically told Mrs. Song that the old lady could walk around during her break to see if she could find out anything.
She had just arrived in Chu Mansion. If anyone asked about her, she could just say that she didn't know the way and was on the wrong track, so as not to arouse suspicion.
But we have only been here for a day, and we have already found clues, right?
Mrs. Song is not that capable. What she wants to say is something else: "Last night, when I was checking whether the doors and windows were closed, I heard the old man talking."
"He was saying I'm sorry, miss. I tried to say some words of comfort, but I found that he was deeply asleep. I thought he was talking in his sleep."
"My grandpa has always taken good care of you, young lady. I don't know what he meant when he said this, so I thought it would be best to tell you."
Chu Qingwan's eyes flashed slightly: "Did you say anything else?"
Mrs. Song thought carefully: "It seemed that he also said 'I knew it earlier', but I didn't hear it very clearly."
Chu Qingwan frowned in confusion.
If she remembered well, Uncle Hua said that the old man didn't have the habit of talking in his sleep. What's wrong?
Is it because I have been in bed for the past two days and feel depressed? Or is it because I have something that I can't get over?
Chu Qingwan couldn't figure it out: "I understand, it's nothing. You take good care of grandpa, and we'll investigate the matter slowly."
Mrs. Song responded and went to work, and Chu Qing returned to the inner room at night.
When the old lady woke up after a long break, she talked with him for a long time before heading back home.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the alley, the carriage couldn't pass. The coachman said, "Miss, there is a convoy parked in front of us, and the road is blocked."
Chu Qingwan jumped off the carriage: "There's not much to go, I'll walk over there, and you can come back when you can."
With that said, she walked casually in the direction of the mansion. She inadvertently turned her head and saw the sign on a carriage in the middle, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
