Become a Cat and Be Pampered by Everyone

Shu Lang seemed to sigh something, but his voice was a bit low, and Ruan Jiaojiao stood on tiptoes and couldn't hear it clearly.

Xu Xu in the room didn't know when he came to her side. Ruan Jiaojiao felt a shadow cast in front of her and immediately retracted her body.

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

Ruan Jiaojiao immediately grinned in a flattering manner. Shu Lang and Qin Qing were still talking below, but Ruan Jiaojiao did not continue to listen.

After returning to the room, Ruan Jiaojiao and Xu Xu finished washing together and lay down 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, but on the other side, the lights in the Yuan family villa were bright.

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

Her life was passing by, and she was already on her deathbed, 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 long called all the younger members of the Yuan family back.

Now the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law are waiting in the house.

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

In her impression, Mrs. Yuan had always been healthy and kind, but now when she saw Mrs. Yuan lying on the bed, she only felt a little scary.

Mrs. Yuan lost a lot of weight, her cheeks were sunken, but the most terrifying thing were her eyes.

Generally, the eyes of old people are cloudy and white, but the eyes of Mrs. Yuan in front of her are not only sunken, but also black, like an abyss that can pull people into it.

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 brother and sister, tell me 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. After hearing this, she raised her head and glanced at the old woman Yuan on the bed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard footsteps coming from behind her.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Ma Liu coming in, and she immediately swallowed back what she was about to say.

Mother Liu was Mrs. Yuan's dowry, and she had been with Mrs. Yuan all her life. Perhaps because she had been a widow all year round, she had an indescribable aura in her behavior. All the four daughters-in-law of the Yuan family were terrified of her.

Now that he saw her coming in, he shut his mouth tightly and didn't want to say anything, so as not to be caught in the wrong and get scolded like a needle hidden in the cotton.

Mother Liu came in with a basin. She put the basin on the table next to Mrs. Yuan's bed, washed the towel, and then wiped Mrs. Yuan's hands on the bed while saying to the two people behind her: "Second Young Madam and Mrs. Yuan." Third Young Mistress, please go and have a rest, I will just guard here."

When the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law heard this, they originally wanted to be polite, but as soon as they raised their heads, they met Liu Ma's calm gaze, and they immediately held back everything.

One person said thank you for your hard work, Ma Liu, and turned around and left the house.

As soon as they left the house, the two of them exhaled heavily. Mrs. Yuan burned the incense so much that most people couldn't bear it.

After the two of them went out, Liu's mother closed the door of the room, looked at the window again, and then walked to Mrs. Yuan's side.

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