Escort Captain Feng also left with two escorts, and they wanted to follow and take a look.

If they can help Jiang Wan, they will spare no effort.

After all, Feng Biaotou felt that he owed Jiang Wan too much, and he would not be at peace if he did not compensate her.

Mr. Zhao and Li Maoming also followed them. Most of the people in the room had left, making it much more spacious.

Xie Xueling cried for a while, and her big eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Jiang Wan tried to coax the person again and again before he finally calmed him down.

Mrs. Qian and Zhou Suting both came over to comfort her, hugging her and embracing her, unable to let go.

Mrs. Qian had no daughter, so when she saw the lovely Xie Xueling, she liked her so much that she wanted to hold her in her hands.

Zhou Suting was ill and had not been pregnant for many years. When she saw a child, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, she would feel happy.

"Alright, alright, Xueling, right? Stop crying. It won't look good if you keep crying."

Mrs. Qian advised gently.

Xie Xueling sobbed twice and looked at her curiously.

"Big sister, you are so beautiful."

Mrs. Qian was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Hey, hey! At my age, it's not too much for you to call me aunt, but you still call me big sister?"

She is thirty-eight years old this year, and if she takes good care of herself, she will look about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

Xie Xueling is less than ten years old, and calling her "big sister" is just sweet talk.

Xie Xueling tilted her head and said, "But Xueling feels that the elder sister is not old at all! And this sister."

She looked at Zhou Suting, blinked her eyes and said, "This sister is also beautiful."

Mrs. Qian and Zhou Suting couldn't stop laughing.

Xie Xueling added, "But my sister-in-law is still the prettiest."

After saying that, she dived into Jiang Wan's arms, not daring to look up.

Mrs. Qian and Zhou Suting looked at each other, both feeling amused and helpless.

"Miss Jiang, your sister-in-law is very clever, beautiful and smart. When she grows up, I wonder how many men she will charm."

Mrs. Qian joked.

Jiang Wan stroked Xie Xueling's soft hair and said, "She's still young. We'll talk about her growing up later."

As they chatted and laughed, the sadness in Xie Xueling and Xiaoliu's hearts was finally diluted.

Zhou Suting was worried that the two children would be hungry, so she cooked for them and made fish soup and red bean cake.

On the way here, Mr. Zhao took them to have dinner.

But when they saw the hot and delicious food, their stomachs started to rumble.

The three of them looked at the two children eating with gusto, and there was satisfaction on their faces.

After Xie Xueling had eaten and drunk her fill, she wiped her mouth, looked around the room, and asked with a frown, "Sister-in-law, where is my brother?"

Jiang Wan's expression faltered for a moment. She thought for a moment and said, "Xue Ling, your elder brother was slightly injured and hasn't woken up yet. He will wake up tomorrow."

Zhou Suting looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Zhou Suting knew about Xie Lan's injuries.

The doctors in the county all said that it was uncertain when he would wake up. How could Miss Jiang be so confident that he would wake up tomorrow?

To comfort the child...

Zhou Suting was in a heavy mood.

Not only her, Mrs. Qian's expression was not very good either.

Xie Lan had helped Qian Yu once, and she remembered it in her heart.

I feel that although he looks cold and unapproachable, he is actually a kind and honest child.

But such a good child was injured so badly...

She went to see him and found that there was almost no healthy skin on his body.

While sighing, Xie Xueling responded softly, "Oh! Then wait until big brother wakes up, Xueling will go to see him! Xueling hasn't seen big brother for a long time, I miss him so much!"

Zhou Suting couldn't bear to hear these childish words, so she took the plate and went downstairs.

Mrs. Qian's eyes were slightly moist. She reached out and hugged Xie Xueling into her arms, saying softly, "Xueling, Auntie likes you very much. Can Auntie take you as her goddaughter?"

Xie Xueling looked at her with walnut eyes, a puzzled expression.

"Aunt, you are my aunt, why do you accept Xueling as your granddaughter? Then Xueling should not call you aunt, but grandma."

Mrs. Qian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"It was Auntie who made a mistake. It was Auntie who was confused! Auntie wants to take you as her goddaughter!"

Mrs. Qian kissed her on her fair and tender little face, her eyes full of intimacy.

Jiang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Madam Qian, Xueling is my cousin's sister, and she is nominally my sister-in-law. You adopted me as your goddaughter before, and now you want to adopt Xueling as your goddaughter too. Isn't this a mess?"

Mrs. Qian thought about it and realized it was true.

She thought hard for a while, and finally gave up and said, "Forget it! From now on, you are my godchild, and so is Xueling. In front of me, don't talk about the relationship between aunt and sister-in-law!"

Jiang Wan smiled.

Fortunately, thanks to the rich lady's joke, Xie Xueling was no longer so obsessed with meeting her elder brother.

She was not obsessed, but Jiang Wan could not forget her.

When she woke up, she asked Fourth Aunt Xie and others about Xie Lan's condition.

They avoided answering.

Not answering is the worst outcome.

Jiang Wan was in the room, but her heart was with Xie Lan.

She endured for most of the hour, then changed her clothes and got out of bed.

Mrs. Qian saw her get up and asked quickly, "Miss Jiang, you just woke up not long ago, where are you going?"

Jiang Wan said, "Mrs. Qian, I'm going to go see my cousin."

Madam Qian was stunned and hurriedly stopped him, "Mr. Xie has someone taking care of him personally, you don't have to worry. When he wakes up, someone will notify you as soon as possible. Right now, it is most important for you to take good care of yourself."

Jiang Wan said nothing, casually tied her hair behind her back, and said to Madam Qian before leaving: "Madam Qian, please help take care of Xueling and the others."

After saying that, she went out.

It was not difficult to find Xie Lan's bedroom. Jiang Wan met Feng Yuanfei not long after she went out.

Feng Yuanfei knew her intention to leave and looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Jiang Wan took in his expression and said calmly, "I know he was seriously injured. You don't have to worry that I can't bear it."

That day at Rising Sun Mountain, Xie Lan fought against Yan Heihu, who was much stronger than him, in order to protect him.

It is equivalent to a mayfly shaking a big tree.

But Xie Lan did not retreat. Instead, he pressed on step by step until he exhausted his last breath.

Jiang Wan didn't want to recall Xie Lan's embarrassment that day, so she closed her eyes and said, "I want to go see him."

Feng Yuanfei said calmly: "Follow me."

The two of them walked quietly through the inner hall and came to a secluded room in the backyard.

As soon as she entered the room, Jiang Wan smelled a bitter smell of medicine.

She looked up and around. On the small table were several medicine jars and soup bowls, as well as several bundles of thick white cotton cloth.

She looked along the table and saw a slender figure lying quietly on the pine bed.

He had a pale face, thin cheeks, and a lingering sickness between his brows.

If it weren't for the familiar facial features, Jiang Wan would have almost failed to recognize that the frail and skinny man in front of her was Xie Lan.

In her impression, Xie Lan is in good health, full of energy, and looks energetic every day.

How could there be such a weak side?
