Marriage in crisis

After they all left, I walked around the living room with my belly bulging, and saw Wei Qingchuan and Wu Jinsong still chatting.

It seems they were interrupted before.

I didn't disturb them and asked Yu Aihua to take me to the west building. I wanted to see if there was any new progress.

When they saw me, Shen Kuo and the others teased me, "General, are you here to inspect again?"

Xiao Qiu smiled, "Report to the commander, there is no movement at this moment."

"Sister-in-law, old man Rong made up an anecdote! Do you want to know?" Xiao Yao complained with a smile.

I quickly asked with great interest, "What's the story? Tell me about it!"

He immediately leaned back in his chair, looked at me and said, "Old Man Rong said he didn't know where he hit his arm, and it hurt everywhere! It was like he had a long dream and he just couldn't wake up!"

Out of curiosity, I asked them to show it to me.

Xiao Qiu quickly put the audio of the time when Old Man Rong woke up on the screen!

"The last time I heard it was when Old Man Rong just woke up and coughed." I quickly told Xiao Qiu.

Xiao Qiu immediately fast-forwarded the audio, and then heard the sound of him really getting up, rustling, coughing, stretching his waist, spitting, and clearing his throat...

Then she went to the bathroom and waited for him to come out for a long time. She walked to the outer room, paused for a moment, and then heard the sound of opening the curtains.

Although I couldn't see the picture, it was not difficult to distinguish every move he made in the room from the sounds inside.

However, when he came back from the window, he heard the faint sound of the bed being moved coming from his inner room.

I immediately showed a look of doubt, looked at Xiao Yao and asked, "Why does it sound like the sound of opening the bed again?"

"Don't worry, just keep listening!" Xiao Yao comforted me.

Shen Kuo couldn't help laughing, "This old man is very suspicious!"

As soon as I heard Shen Kuo's words, I understood why he opened the passage again.

Then 2 minutes later, there was another sound of movement.

I said, "Is he going down? At his age, going down those stairs is really a challenge for me!"

None of them said anything, so I continued to listen.

The sound returned to a long silence. Xiao Qiu fast-forwarded a bit and then continued playing. There was another buzzing sound inside, and it seemed that he had returned to the ground.

The intervals between these sounds lasted about fifteen minutes.

Shortly after he came up, there was another knock on the door.

After the slow footsteps, there was the sound of the door opening, and then Old Man Rong asked, "Were you the one knocking on the door just now?"

"Just now? No, sir!" This was definitely the butler's voice. His throat sounded a little hoarse, and it sounded like he had just woken up. "I slept too late last night and didn't get up. I just woke up too!"

"Oh? I just woke up too. I was woken up by the knock on the door just now. It felt like a long dream. It was so hard to wake up." Old man Rong muttered.

The butler said with a smile, "Old man, are you still dreaming? I seldom dream!"

"Hey! It's all messed up, it feels like it's really happening. I can't open my eyes, but it feels like it's real. It's very tiring, my arms are sore from being pressed when I woke up. I can't refuse to accept aging! I don't want to sleep, but my body is resisting... cough cough!"

He coughed twice more and sighed.

"You are having a nightmare! This situation is really tiring. You can't wake up, but it feels like it's real and your head aches slightly." The butler explained.

"Hmm!" Old man Rong responded, sounding a little absent-minded.

"Would you like to go downstairs to eat, or should I serve it to you?" the butler asked respectfully.

"What about the one who was locked up?" Old Man Rong asked a question that was irrelevant to the question.

"I... didn't have time to ask!" the butler said truthfully.

After a moment of silence, Old Man Rong said, "Then let Aunt Chen bring me some porridge and a few side dishes!"

"Yes!"

The butler responded and walked out.

Shen Kuo then said to me, "Do you understand what I mean?"

I thought for a moment and looked at him, "You mean... he had some doubts, so he went downstairs."

"Yes! That's what we speculated too. It should be in the later stage. His consciousness has gradually awakened and he has become conscious, but the medicine controls the time when he wakes up. That's why he said it was a long dream!" Shen Kuo explained to me.

Xiao Yao said, "I guess when we were carrying him back, the groan was a sign of waking up, but the process was not that fast. It was indeed... it was really close! If Chi Xi hadn't acted decisively, if Alang had hesitated a little longer, it would have been a disaster!"
