Chapter 163 Filial Piety!
Mu Xin Nuan frowned. "Grandfather was perfectly fine when we paid our respects this morning. How did he suddenly faint?"
"Miss, I heard that the Second Master had an accident while he was in office. The Old Madam kept crying and demanding that the Old Master and Master find a solution. The Old Master got so anxious that he couldn't catch his breath and fainted."
Seeing that Mu Xin Nuan was a little anxious, Chu Rong handed the lark to Granny Yu and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to take a look."
When the two arrived at Rongyuan Hospital, the room was already surrounded by people.
Mu Xin Nuan frowned. "Father, everyone, please don't all crowd here. Too many people will make it even harder for Grandfather to breathe. Rong Yue, go and open the window."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mu Chang'an thought of his daughter, who was also a doctor, and knew that she knew more than he did. "Alright, everyone go outside and wait. Let the physician and A-Nuan take a look. We'll come in after Father wakes up."
The old lady still had tears on her face, but she had stopped crying. She was clearly frightened by what the old man had just done.
Chu Rong saw Mu Xin Nuan inside, and through the curtain he could see her talking to the physician. However, he couldn't quite understand what they were saying. Just then, Mu Qing Xuan was right next to him, so he nudged him with his arm.
"Your sister also knows medicine?"
"Of course, is there anything in this world that my sister can't do?"
Hmph! He really is oblivious to everyone else, so arrogant!
Chu Rong rolled his eyes at him, "Yes, yes, yes! I know your sister is good. She's the best girl in the world, okay?"
Mu Qingxuan snorted lightly, "No need to make it sound so forced. My sister is just that good. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, someone else does anyway."
Chu Rong thought that Mu Xin Nuan was almost being hailed as the epitome of filial piety, preparing such a lavish and varied diet for Mu Chang An. It was indeed hard for anyone to say anything bad about such a girl.
Before long, the physician came out. "Don't worry, sir, the old master is much better now. Fortunately, the young lady came over and gave him acupuncture right away, and he has woken up now. However, you should still be careful with your words and not upset the old master again. I will go and get the prescription and medicine now."
"Go."
When Mu Chang'an and the others came in again, the old man was still lying down. Mu Xin Nuan was sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing the old man's palms with her two little hands.
Seeing the group enter, Mu Xin Nuan immediately took off her shoes and sat down inside. "Ah Xuan, come over and gently stroke Grandpa's hand, from the palm to the fingertips, make sure you don't miss a single spot. Be gentle, don't be too rough."
"Yes, sister."
Chu Rong saw Mu Xin Nuan start massaging the old man's palms right at the innermost part of the bed. Only after the old man took a deep breath and his complexion gradually improved did Mu Xin Nuan say, "Grandfather suddenly fainted just now, which caused his hands and feet to feel numb and stiff. So, massaging them like this will make him feel more comfortable and help him recover faster."
Mu Chang'an nodded. This daughter was indeed thoughtful.
"Elder sister, would you like me to massage Grandfather's feet as well?"
Mu Xin Nuan glanced at Mu Qing Yuan, "There are too many acupoints on the soles of the feet, you don't understand. How about this, you massage Grandfather's legs, that will make Grandfather feel that his blood is flowing smoothly, and he will feel better in a while."
"it is good!"
Seeing how thoughtful and considerate his eldest granddaughter was, and how filial his two grandsons were, the old man finally felt a little better and was no longer so upset.
Upon seeing this, Chu Rong felt even more fondness and admiration for Mu Xin Nuan!
She is truly a filial daughter to be able to treat her grandfather to such an extent. No wonder there are such strange rumors outside. Seeing it with my own eyes today, I know it is indeed true!
The old man took a few more deep breaths and turned his neck. Li Shi understood and quickly stepped forward to get a large armrest, and then Mu Chang'an helped him sit up.
Mu Chang'an then noticed that Chu Rong was also in the room. "Nephew, you're here too? There were things to do at home today, and I neglected to look after you. Your father must still be waiting for you outside."
"In that case, I'll take my leave." How could Chu Rong not understand the meaning behind Mu Chang'an's words? He really shouldn't have listened to the Mu family's affairs.
Before leaving, Chu Rong glanced at Mu Xin Nuan, who was intently massaging the old man. Her expression was serene and peaceful, without the slightest hint of unwillingness or impatience. In the future, if he could have her by his side, the scene would surely be as warm and beautiful as it was now.
Everyone present could see Chu Rong's feelings for Mu Xin Nuan. They just felt that the two children were still young and hadn't made it clear to each other yet.
"The eldest son is not allowed to interfere in the second son's affairs. Just do as the Prime Minister said before, make the second son hand over 100,000 taels of silver to fill the hole he created, and then find a way to transfer him back to the capital."
"Yes, father."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's eyes widened immediately. "Master, one hundred thousand taels? Where are you going to get so much silver from the second son?"
"you shut up!"
This was the first time the old master had shown no mercy to the old lady in front of the younger generation, loudly rebuking her, "Isn't it all because you spoiled him? How dare you say that here! The second son embezzled public funds; if he doesn't return them, who else do you expect to help him raise the money? Do you think this is any other place? This is the capital! Who told him to be so blind as to fall into the hands of the Prime Minister? He shouldn't have had those despicable thoughts in the first place!"
The old man must have spoken too hastily, because he coughed several times, and his face turned a little red from the cough.
"Alright, he's not stupid. Let him sell all the farmland and houses he secretly acquired there, and he'll have some money."
"Yes, father."
Mu Xin Nuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, glancing at the old lady out of the corner of her eye. Sure enough, she was somewhat unconvinced!
Mu Xin Nuan lowered her head and remained silent, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly. This old lady was planning to get her father to pay for it! Hmph! How ridiculous, the old lady's favoritism was too obvious!
Just like the old master said, he himself embezzled 100,000 taels of silver from the national treasury, and now he wants others to help him raise it? Does he think everyone else is a fool? What goes in must come out, that's exactly how it should be. The old lady actually made a fuss with the old master over this. Is she really getting senile?
When Mu Xin Nuan came out of Rong Yuan, she heard her father and mother talking quietly. She walked a few steps faster and finally heard what they were saying. They meant that as long as her second uncle handed over 100,000 taels of silver, the Prime Minister would not make things too difficult for him. Although his official position could not be said to be promoted again, there was a possibility that he would be transferred back to the capital!
Are we heading back to the capital? Mu Xin Nuan raised an eyebrow slightly. It seems things are about to get lively in the Mu residence.
