Chapter 558 Uncle, who is your uncle?
When he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he explained his purpose and a servant went in to report. After a while, someone came out and invited him in.
Duke Chen and Chen Jinghong were waiting for him in the main hall.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master, for saving Nianran. I am grateful. I was so busy taking care of my father's granddaughter in the past two days that I didn't have time to say thank you to you." Old Duke Chen didn't know that he was Lu Huaijin.
"Grandfather, this man is not a good person. We should stay away from him." Chen Jinghong whispered aside. In his impression, Zi Ye Pavilion was a killer organization, and he, Zi Ye Xiu, was the big devil who killed people without blinking an eye. Although he saved his sister this time, he must have had some ulterior motive. He could see before that the leader of Zi Ye Pavilion treated his sister differently, and he definitely had no good intentions in coming to him.
"Jinghong, don't be rude. After all, the Pavilion Master saved Nianran. If it weren't for him, your sister might have really died in the fire."
"That's true, but he definitely has bad intentions. My sister has a husband, so we can't let him get close to her. But my sister is injured, why doesn't her husband come to see her? He seems to be a heartless scumbag. The next time I see him, I will use my power as a brother-in-law to teach him a lesson."
The two of them were talking in a low voice. Lu Huaijin, who was sitting below, said, "I wonder how Miss Chen is doing now? I want to go see her."
"No need. My sister is now being taken care of by us and Doctor Han. There is no need to trouble you, Pavilion Master." Chen Jinghong spoke first.
"Haha, yes, Pavilion Master, it's not convenient for you as a grown man. We appreciate your kindness." Old Duke Chen could only agree.
Lu Huaijin almost forgot that he came here as the head of Zi Ye Pavilion. Now, they are all family. In order to make it convenient to see his wife in the future, he has nothing to hide and took off the mask.
When Chen Laoguogong saw him take off his mask, he wondered what was wrong with the Pavilion Master of Ziye Pavilion. He had never shown his true face to anyone. Why was he so surprised today? He was just thinking about it. When he saw his true face, he widened his eyes in surprise. How could it be his grandson-in-law Lu Huaijin? Wasn't he a small lieutenant? How could it be?
"Grandfather, can I go see Qingnian now?"
"Uh... go ahead, she's in the backyard room."
"Wait, who are you calling grandpa? He is my grandpa! Don't think you can recognize anyone just because you took off the mask! Stop, get out and don't go to see my sister..." Chen Jinghong was about to step forward to stop him.
"My uncle may have some misunderstandings about me. Let me go see Qing Nian first and then sit down and talk with you in detail." After Lu Huaijin bowed to the old Duke Chen and the other man, he walked towards the backyard.
"What did you call me? Uncle? Who is your uncle? Wait for me!" Chen Jinghong was about to chase after him but was stopped by Duke Chen.
"Jinghong, wait a minute!"
"Grandfather, are you getting senile? I am your only grandson, how can there be an extra one? Could it be..."
"What are you talking about, kid? Didn't you hear what he called you?"
"Uncle, grandpa, do you think he has lost his mind to call me uncle?" Chen Jinghong laughed, and then reacted, Uncle?
"Then he is?"
"He is Qingnian's husband, Captain Lu Huaijin." said Duke Chen.
"Then how did he become the leader of Zi Ye Pavilion?" Chen Jinghong was confused at this moment. What was going on? Last time, his sister asked him to send her back, and he talked to him so much. After all this fuss, it turned out that he was his brother-in-law?
"You ask your grandfather, who will your grandfather ask? Come on, let's follow him and take a look." After saying this, Old Duke Chen walked towards Yao Qingnian's yard with his hands behind his back.
When Chen Shuhua and the others saw Lu Huaijin coming and told him about Yao Qingnian's situation, they all went out and left him alone in the room, thinking that maybe if Lu Huaijin talked to her more, maybe he would feel better.
Lu Huaijin looked at Yao Qingnian with her eyes closed and a frown on her face. He reached out to smooth her forehead, then held her hand and placed it on his face, gently calling her name.
For several days, Lu Huaijin stayed by her side and talked to her, but no matter what he said, Yao Qingnian still did not wake up. Everyone couldn't help but become anxious. Even Han Junze found it a little unbelievable. The master's breathing was obviously stable and there was no problem. How could he not wake up!
Just when everyone was worried, a servant suddenly came to report: "Duke, there is an old man outside the door. He looks like a beggar. I gave him money to let him go, but he said he could save our young lady. Do you want to let him in?"
"The old man is a beggar? Is he a liar? Give him some more silver and let him go." The old Duke was puzzled.
"Wait! Old man! Qing Nian is in such a bad condition now, we should try our best. What if someone really has the ability to do it? Let someone come in and take a look. If they can't see anything, let them go." Old Madam Chen advised from the side.
"What you said makes sense. Let's invite the person in!" After hearing what Old Madam Chen said, Old Duke Chen said nothing more and asked someone to invite the person in.
The servants quickly invited the old man in. No wonder the servants said he was a beggar. The old man had a white beard, his body was a little messy, he looked a little dusty, and his face was dark. He really looked like a beggar.
"Excuse me, old man, are you the one who said you could save my granddaughter?"
"I've been traveling all the way. Can you prepare something to eat for me?" The old man touched his stomach.
"Okay." Old Duke Chen nodded, without any disgust, and asked someone to prepare some food for him. He didn't believe that he could save Yao Qingnian, and he probably came in just to get food and drink. Well, seeing that he was old, forget it, just let him go after he finished eating.
After the old man had eaten and drunk enough, he stood up and said, "Do you think I'm a charlatan? I'm here to get free food and drinks?"
Old Duke Chen was a little embarrassed. How could he know what I was thinking? So he smiled and said, "Old brother, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I saw that you looked tired and exhausted, as if you were in a hurry. I thought you might be in trouble, so I came to the mansion to ask for food."
"You still say that you treat me as a beggar. Never mind. I won't bother with you. Come on, take me over to take a look." The old man asked Duke Chen to take him over to see Yao Qingnian.
Duke Chen invited the people over. The old man looked at Yao Qingnian lying on the bed without saying anything. After instructing the Duke and others for a few words, he took out a plain-looking stone from his sleeve and placed it next to her. Then he sat down and began to close his eyes...
