Chapter 1252 Let Her Accompany You (1)

Shu Lang seemed to sigh something, but the voice was a little low, and Ruan Jiaojiao couldn't hear it clearly even when she stood on tiptoe.

Xu Xu in the room walked to her side at some point. Ruan Jiaojiao felt a shadow cast in front of her and immediately retracted her body.

Turning her head, Xu Xu was looking at her silently.

Ruan Jiaojiao immediately grinned and flattered. Shu Lang and Qin Qing were still talking below, but Ruan Jiaojiao didn't continue to listen.

After returning to the room, Ruan Jiaojiao and Xu Xu washed up together and lay on the bed. Ruan Jiaojiao looked at Xu Xu's figure on the other side through the screen and fell asleep unconsciously.

She slept soundly, while on the other side, the lights in the Yuan family villa were bright.

Since the day Shu Jie left the Yuan family, Mrs. Yuan's life seemed to have entered a countdown.

Her life was passing away, and she was already at the end of her life, but she kept her eyes open and refused to close them. She kept looking at the ceiling, as if she was looking at something through the thick wall.

The old man was seriously ill, and Yuan Hui had called back all the younger generations of the Yuan family.

Now the second and third daughters-in-law are serving in the house.

The second daughter-in-law moved out of the old house of the Yuan family a long time ago. She would occasionally come back to visit when she lived in the city a few years ago, but she rarely came back since she moved to Changling.

In her impression, Mrs. Yuan has always been healthy and kind, but now she feels a little scared when she sees Mrs. Yuan lying on the bed.

Mrs. Yuan has lost a lot of weight, and her cheeks are sunken, but the most terrifying thing is her eyes.

Generally, the eyes of the elderly are turbid and white, but the eyes of Mrs. Yuan in front of her are not only sunken, but also dark, like an abyss that can pull people in.

The second daughter-in-law didn't even dare to look into those eyes.

She lowered her head and said to her sister-in-law beside her: "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with mom's eyes? I've seen so many patients in the hospital, but I've never seen anything like this."

The third daughter-in-law was lowering her head to cool down the medicine bowl. When she heard this, she raised her head and looked at Old Lady Yuan on the bed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard footsteps behind her.

She saw that it was Aunt Liu who came in, and immediately swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Aunt Liu was the dowry of Old Lady Yuan. She had been with Old Lady Yuan all her life. Maybe because she had been a widow for many years, she had an indescribable taste in her way of dealing with people. The four daughters-in-law of the Yuan family were very afraid of her.

Now that she saw her come in, she closed her mouth even more tightly, and didn't want to say anything, so as not to be caught in the wrong and be scolded like a needle hidden in cotton.

Aunt Liu came in with a basin. She put it on the table beside Old Lady Yuan's bed, washed the towel, and then wiped Old Lady Yuan's hands on the bed, and said to the two people behind her: "Second Young Lady and Third Young Lady, go and have a rest. I'll be here to guard it."

The second and third daughters-in-law wanted to be polite when they heard this, but when they looked up, they met Aunt Liu's calm eyes, and they immediately held back everything.

One of them said, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Liu," and turned to leave the room.

As soon as they left the room, they breathed a sigh of relief. Old Lady Yuan burned incense too hard, and ordinary people couldn't stand it at all.

After the two of them left, Aunt Liu closed the door of the room, looked at the window again, and then walked to Old Lady Yuan's side.

"Madam, do you need a young lady to accompany you?"
