Chapter 859: Chapter 860: Struggling a Lot
Chiang Xiao’s heart wrestled mightily.
With her intervention, she could completely heal his wounds within five days.
Completely healed, that kind.
But by doing so, she would definitely not be able to hide it from ng Xinian.
Given ng Xinian’s intelligence, he would certainly not believe any excuse about having found so effective dicine.
Because even the best dicine couldn’t possibly have such imdiate effects.
To heal wounds that exposed bone and flesh within a few days.
How would she explain it then?
However, she felt that even if she didn’t intervene, ng Xinian already knew she had many secrets. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said what he did just now.
ng Xinian watched her quietly.
He had noticed the struggle in Chiang Xiao’s eyes.
This girl had specifically brought him here, which ant she definitely had sothing to tell him.
And it wouldn’t be just any ordinary thing.
But looking at her now, it’s clear she still hadn’t decided whether she could speak of it.
“This difficult for you?” he sighed, then ruffled her hair, and said, “How about we go inside to eat, and after we have lunch and grandfather and my grandfathers and grandmothers go for their nap, we can talk upstairs?”
It was the first ti Chiang Xiao took the initiative to ntion her secrets to him, and he absolutely couldn’t miss it.
“Okay.”
Chiang Xiao quickly stood up and pushed him back inside.
She indeed hadn’t made up her mind yet.
“Where did you push Xinian to? It’s cold outside, co in and eat quickly.” Ge Liutao had just finished bringing out all the dishes.
A table full of dishes, their fragrance filling the air. Chiang Songhai took out a bottle of dicinal liquor he had brewed himself, fetched three small cups, and Chu Liang brought over the ward wine, pouring just a little into each cup.
Old ng suddenly felt that this was what a warm ho should feel like.
Unlike his daughter-in-law, who would not even touch spring water, and if she ever did, one can’t even guess how long her son would fuss over it. The maid made good food, yet she would complain about using the wrong plates, insisting on her own set of delicate bone china tableware, and even the setting had to be arranged like a flower.
In Old ng’s view, all that was simply fuss over nothing, just soone being finicky.
Furthermore, in his ho, the rule was to eat without speaking. With so few people already, if not a single word was spoken during als, it truly felt cold, without any taste of ho.
Anyway, he ca from a farr’s background, a simple man without much for fancy etiquette, preferring a lively and warm atmosphere that felt like ho.
Also, that daughter-in-law’s smile was always fake, like a mask, nowhere near as genuine and brilliant as his granddaughter-in-law, who smiled like a blooming flower.
“Good, good good good, good food, good wine.” Old ng first drank half a cup of wine, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking quite content.
ng Xinian didn’t drink normally, and now that he was injured, he was even more prevented from drinking.
He just sat there quietly eating.
Old ng, Chiang Songhai, and Chu Liang, the three of them drank together.
They began by talking about ng Xinian’s situation, but as they did, Old ng’s eyes reddened, and the conversation shifted to ng Chaojun.
“Xinian’s father was actually not bad. Though he didn’t really know how to educate a child, whenever Xinian ca ho from a fight, he’d just beat him. But after beating him, he’d still properly teach him how to win against older kids. Apart from fighting, his mother managed everything else for this child.”
“But, my daughter-in-law has been too competitive all her life…”
ng Xinian said flatly, “Old man, you’re drunk.”
“Brother, co on, have so at.” Chiang Songhai hurriedly picked up a piece of Dongpo pork for him.
Old ng sighed and looked towards Chu Liang, “And you, Chu Liang, what’s the deal with you? I heard Li Hanzhong asked you to go to the Capital, why didn’t you go?”
