When Shanhu said this, he had used up all of his courage. He had spoken a lot with his grandma these days and he had thought about the whole thing thoroughly. He was aware that he had hoped too much, but he would like to see if he did mean something in her eyes.

He had not wanted to meet Qu Hua these days, but Qu Hua was still so arrogant as she spoke of those things.

He and his grandma were different. He did not care what Qu Hua was thinking, but he did care about why Lady Chaoyan was here with him at Li Village.

He just hoped that Qu Hua had been wrong. He hoped that Lady Chaoyan was here for him, for his physical condition in case something bad happened to him.

When he finished speaking, he looked very anxious and did not dare to look up at Sword One.

Sword One found it strange. She heard Elder Miss speaking of Shanhu’s grandma, who was not suffering from any terrible disease. She was just old and frightened about Shanhu’s well-being. Now that Shanhu was here and his grandma took some medicine, she should have gotten better.

They had spent five days at Li Village. Normally, she should have recovered.

Sword One looked into the room, but Shanhu did not allow Sword One to look in.

Sword One thought for a while and dropped her thought.

“Then I will pass on the message to Elder Miss,” Sword One said.

He nodded.

Sword One hurried back to the wagon.

Gu Chaoyan was resting in the wagon so when she heard Sword One’s return, she was about to leave directly. She had informed Shanhu about leaving today, so he should have been ready to leave by now.

Sword One did not come to the wagon but whispered. “Elder Miss, Shanhu says that he wants to stay a bit longer, since his grandma has not yet fully recovered.”

Gu Chaoyan was surprised and a bit confused.

She checked on Shanhu’s grandma the moment she came to Li Village, but she was not seriously ill and was just an elderly woman who had some small issues. She should have recovered in a couple of days with the help of medicine. However, five days had passed and she was not yet better?

She was confident that she was good enough to get better.

She should have gotten off the wagon to check on her, but when she was checking her the other day, the grandma had offended her and crossed her line. So she did not move.

Instead, she took out a white bottle. “Give this to Shanhu. If his grandma is not recovering, then put the pills into the medicine and let her drink it.”

“…”

“As for Shanhu, he is a nice and loving person, so if we force him to return to the clinic whilst he wants to stay, it will not be good for his recovery. Just let him stay. When his grandma gets better, we can get someone to pick him up and take him to the clinic. Shen Tai can come and check on him every now and then.”
