She wanted to dress up beautifully.
After exposing Jiang Yining’s true intentions in public, Jiang Yining would undoubtedly be chased out of the Lu family!
This was the perfect opportunity for her to return to the Lu family openly!
Naturally, she had to show everyone her best side!
Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi arrived at A-City’s airport at around ten in the morning.
Old Master Lu knew that they were back and sent a transfer car to pick them up.
Everyone in the Lu family was exceptionally happy.
Jiang Yining gave everyone a gift.
Then, she said gratefully to Old Master Lu, “Thank you so much, Grandpa. Ah Zhi and I had a great time on this trip.”
“As long as you guys are happy, I’m happy too.”
During the wedding, when Chen Kexin had caused that commotion, Old Master Lu felt very guilty towards Jiang Yining.
He felt that he hadn’t given his granddaughter-in-law the most perfect wedding.
Now, as they enjoyed their honeymoon, Old Master Lu felt a bit more at ease.
“The two of you must be tired from the journey. You should go back to your rooms and rest first.” Old Master Lu urged.
“There’s no hurry. I want to see my mother first.”
Jiang Yining noticed that Shen Man wasn’t there.
Old Master Lu said, “Your mother caught a cold two days ago. Just when she recovered, she started coughing again. She’s afraid of passing the illness to you, so she stayed in.”
During their honeymoon trip, the two of them were inseparable, and the chances of pregnancy were high.
However, the first three months of pregnancy are the most critical.
It’s better to avoid contact with patients.
Old Master Lu and Shen Man had the same thought.
Jiang Yining didn’t understand their intentions and said, “I’ll go and take a look. I can give my mother a gift and check on her condition.”
When Old Master Lu heard this, he couldn’t stop her and reluctantly agreed.
Jiang Yining secretly asked Lu Zhi if he wanted to visit his mother with her.
Lu Zhi had just returned from Sweden, he recalled many past events and nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yining happily pulled him towards Shen Man’s courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, they heard a heart-wrenching cough, and the entire room was filled with the bitter scent of medicine.
Servants hurried about.
When they saw Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi, they showed surprise and joy on their faces.
Lu Zhi hadn’t stepped into this courtyard on his own initiative for many years.
Now that he was finally willing to come in, did it mean that his relationship with Shen Man was going to ease up?
If that was the case, the status of everyone in the courtyard would also rise a bit.
“Young Master, Young Mistress, please come in.”
The servant hurriedly led them into the house.
Jiang Yining asked, “Is my mother-in-law in poor health? Why is there such a strong smell of medicine?”
The servant looked at Lu Zhi, lowered her voice and said, “Madam always feels that Second Young Master’s disappearance is her fault. That’s why she’s unwilling to take medicine every time she’s sick. She hopes that by doing so, she could exchange for Second Young Master’s safe return. Hence, the longer it’s delayed, the weaker her body becomes… Accumulated chronic conditions erupted suddenly this time. A simple flue almost took Madam’s life.”
“A few days ago, Madam was so sick that she was muddle-headed. She kept shouting the names of Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master, saying that compared to them, she looked bad. We saw that her condition wasn’t good, so we went to beg Old Master. Old Master brought a doctor over and insisted on treating Madam. Only then did she agree to take the medicine.”
“After drinking for two days, her condition is not as critical as before, but Madam’s spirit is still not very good.”
The servant was speaking up for Shen Man
Which son wouldn’t feel heartbroken for his mother?
No matter how much Lu Zhi resented Shen Man for the affair, he would still care about the mother-son relationship.
Jiang Yining said to Lu Zhi after hearing what the maid said, “Let’s go in and take a look.”
Lu Zhi didn’t say anything and started walking.
“Mom, we’re back.”
Jiang Yining walked in and said in a light voice.
When Shen Man heard the familiar voice, she quickly suppressed the rust smell in her throat. She pulled a smile and said, “You’re finally back…”
Halfway through her sentence, her gaze fell on Lu Zhi, who stood behind Jiang Yining.
Her eyes flashed, and tears filled her eyes.
“All Zhi.”
Lu Zhi hummed faintly.
Jiang Yining sat in front of Shen Man and said, “Mom, we’ve only been gone for a few days. How did you get so sick?”
“I’m old and useless.” Shen Man gently pushed her and said, “Don’t be so close to me. It’s not good to infect you.”
“I’m not afraid.” Jiang Yining took her pulse and said, “I’m a doctor. 1 know how to protect myself. Mom, let me take a look at you.”
Shen Man pushed her hands away unnaturally and hid her hands under the blanket..
