--------------------
A roomful of people chatted idly for about fifteen minutes before they saw Zhou Yilang co in with snowflakes fluttering around him.
Yan Jinsu only felt a flicker of light and shadow, and she saw Fan Hongshan very consciously jog to her man’s side, helping him brush off the snowflakes on his shoulder, and then naturally helped him take off his coat.
Yan Jinsu noticed the man’s gaze; it painted acknowledgnt with a nod to Zhou Zhenghui and Zhou Guorong first, then lowered to cooperate with his wife’s movents.
Due to Zhou Yilang’s tall stature, the seated Yan Jinsu could clearly observe the subtle changes in Zhou Yilang’s eyes.
After observing for a few minutes, Yan Jinsu felt that this man was reserved, and not as indifferent as what Fan Hongshan’s tone had implied.
At least, Yan Jinsu felt that Zhou Yilang did care about Sister Fan. As for what their marital situation was really like, the surface appearances were indeed too false, and one could only know the warmth or coldness by experience.
However, Xie Jingzi strangely glanced at Third Sister-in-law, and followed her gaze to Zhou Yilang. She mused: He’s not even as good-looking as her own uncle. Why is Third Sister-in-law always staring at soone else’s husband?
Could it be that she disdains how her own Third Brother looks...
Thinking of her Third Brother’s stern and stoic face made Xie Jingzi’s thoughts all jumbled.
Zhou Zhenghui patted the little woman’s hand, snapping her back to reality, then whispered gently in her ear: "Xiaozi, you go with Sister-in-law Lang and Third Sister-in-law to see Seventh Aunt. We have so private matters to discuss."
However, he couldn’t help glaring at Zhou Yilang, who was walking in front, escorting Fan Hongshan over, his defensive instincts flaring up.
He’s not even as handso as I am, so the little woman couldn’t possibly be enamored with him.
"Hmm, okay. Uncle Seven, would it be convenient for us to visit Seventh Aunt?" Xie Jingzi got back to her senses and asked Zhou Guorong politely.
"It’s convenient. My daughter-in-law, take your niece-in-law and Mrs. Xie to see your mother-in-law."
Zhou Guorong imdiately took over the conversation with a smile upon seeing his eldest son arrive, though the smile did not quite reach his eyes.
Zhou Zhenghui was aware of Uncle Seven’s family issues and didn’t say much, but instead started discussing serious matters with Uncle Seven and his son.
On the other side, Yan Jinsu and Xie Jingzi followed Fan Hongshan to Wen Qingying’s room.
The noble lady, just in her fifties, was lying in bed for two months, and it showed with her dull skin and visible wrinkles. All her body functions were rapidly declining, and if it weren’t for the Zhou Family, all wealthy and able to afford long-term care and massages, Wen Qingying’s condition could only have been worse.
As for Fan Hongshan’s regular visits, it was rely the obligation of a daughter-in-law to fulfill, given that she was the younger generation. However, whenever she ca, she would really just ’look’.
Not to ntion they hired care workers; her in-laws didn’t have much fondness for her to begin with, judging simply by how they addressed her.
For the in-laws, Fan Hongshan was rely ’the eldest daughter-in-law’; they were not even willing to call her by her na. Perhaps, in reality, her in-laws hadn’t even rembered her na.
Fan Hongshan sneered inwardly; her in-laws thought Zhou Yilang marrying her was a big loss. In truth, she wanted to proclaim that she was the one truly at a loss here! She hadn’t even complained about Zhou Yilang bringing along two burdens, thinking that being wealthy and powerful was so great...
"Sister Yan, Xiaozi, my mother-in-law has been sick for two months. Although there is no major issue with her body, her vitality is sustained by dicines for a long ti; how could she look good?"
Fan Hongshan led two won to sit in front of Wen Qingying’s hospital bed and politely made so small talk. She then gestured for the nurse to wait outside.
Yan Jinsu paid no attention to the two won’s constant chattering behind her, focusing instead on observing Wen Qingying’s complexion. Although slightly pale, she looked well-cared-for, and her vitality had not faded.
She dared not use her spiritual power, but as a high-level wielder of spiritual power herself, she was extrely sensitive to the presence of Spiritual Bodies drifting in the air.
Without a main consciousness, these Spiritual Bodies rely floated around the head. As soon as Yan Jinsu approached, she sensed sothing unusual with Wen Qingying’s spirit, but considering her special physical condition, she didn’t dare to act rashly.
Wen Qingying’s situation was relatively good: the hovering Spiritual Bodies lacked a main consciousness, indicating that the central consciousness that resided in her brain still had the potential to be awakened. If her main consciousness had already drifted out of the brain domain, only a Level 5 spiritual power wielder could guide her awakening!
Yan Jinsu’s expression didn’t change much, but she was genuinely relieved. After so thought, she realized that to save Wen Qingying, she would need Sister Fan’s help.
Fortunately, the stars aligned when Yan Jinxian sent Fan Hongshan to find Yan Jinsu yesterday, and she herself took her sowhat ntally deranged husband to their new ho.
Zhou Guorong noticed that his youngest son had been emotionally unstable since his wife’s accident, and now heard from Jinxian that she wanted to take their son to recuperate in peace.
At the old house, with many servants around and his wife truly needing quiet recuperation, various mbers of the Zhou Family kept visiting under different pretexts, and he couldn’t just refuse to see them all.
The noise truly was botherso. His wife, now in a vegetative state, was unable to sense anything. But it was different for his son: any visit from a stranger would make him particularly irritable. Given the frequent visits, his reactions made Zhou Guorong seem quite rude.
So, when Yan Jinxian suggested moving out to recuperate in quiet with her son, Zhou Guorong had no objections and even generously doubled the family’s expenses.
With Yan Jinxian and her husband away, it was convenient for Fan Hongshan to lend a hand.
Yan Jinsu gave a aningful glance to her little aunt, signaling her to stand at the door, then drew Fan Hongshan aside to talk:
"Sister Fan, what do you think about trying a different dicine for your mother-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Hongshan asked with uncertainty, "Are you confident?"
Of course, Yan Jinsu couldn’t be too straightforward, so she simply shook her head and looked at Wen Qingying as she spoke:
"Sister Fan, I can only tell that your mother-in-law still has a chance, but whether the dicine will be effective depends on her own luck. Moreover, I don’t want too many people to know. You see, your mother-in-law’s condition hasn’t deteriorated, has it?"
"It’s not appropriate. If I don’t go through my father-in-law, how could I possibly change the dicine for my mother-in-law based on my decision alone?" She only stayed in the old house for about an hour each day.
And usually, in that hour, there would always be a nurse present.
"It’s not too difficult; you just need to give your mother-in-law a little cup of water each ti."
"Water?" Fan Hongshan felt her knowledge being updated yet again.
"The dicine looks just like water, colorless and tasteless; it should take effect after three or five doses."
She would be reluctant to use more anyway.
Now, not to ntion Spirit Core Liquid, there wasn’t much Spirit Core Water left either. The couple was always saving wherever possible, with all the savings ant to prepare for any ’accidents’ that may arise during Yan Jinsu’s upcoming pregnancy.
Now that Yan Jinsu was taking the initiative with her own suggestion, even if she were willing to use more, if Xie Jingchen found out, he would be the first to object!
