Five years later, she surprised the world with her Zaizai

after get off work.

Ning Nuannuan didn't go home, but went to Qiao's house.

When the housekeeper took her into the bedroom, he saw the old lady sitting on a wicker chair, fingers like dry branches stroking the picture frame.

Although there is some distance, you can still vaguely see a group photo that looks like a family portrait.

The old lady's face was calm, but her muddy old eyes were full of sorrow.

I think the old lady also received the news that Qiao Tianci and Qiao Tianyao were sentenced to death. The people in the second bedroom always felt that the old lady was cold-blooded and ruthless, but they didn't know that the old lady was their biological mother. A white-haired person sent a black-haired person. How could it hurt less than them?

"Old lady..."

"Nuan Nuan, you are here."

Seeing that it was Ning Nuannuan, Mrs. Qiao's eyes finally became warmer.

"After taking the medicine I prescribed for you, do you feel better?" Ning Nuannuan asked while taking the old lady's pulse.

Mrs. Qiao shook her head: "In the past, I always hoped that my health would be better and that I could support the Qiao family longer, but now I realize that living too long does not seem to be good. Watching someone leave me , leaving me alone to slowly grow old, alone..."

Ning Nuannuan looked at Mrs. Qiao's face full of vicissitudes of life, her heart was sour and swollen.

She wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything that could comfort her.

After accidentally catching a glimpse of the group photo, Ning Nuannuan pointed to the young man in the photo and asked, "Who is he?"

"He is my husband and your grandpa." When mentioning him, Mrs. Qiao's eyebrows softened: "He is an elegant doctor and my master. It's a pity that God also wanted him, so he gave him away early. Taken away from me..."

She has regrets, but more of a nostalgia.

Ning Nuannuan couldn't help but take a few more glances at the man in the photo.

It turns out...this is what grandpa looked like when he was young.

Elegant and elegant, but not too bookish, standing next to the young grandmother, they seem to be a match made in heaven.

From this point of view, she and her mother look more like her grandfather.

"I... really wish I could go underground to see him earlier."

"You think about it, grandpa doesn't want to." Ning Nuannuan looked at Mrs. Qiao and trimmed the white hair on her temples: "If grandpa is still alive, he will definitely hope that you live a long life! Besides, I My granddaughter is still with you, and I don’t want to hear you say such depressing words!”

Mrs. Qiao was filled with astonishment when she heard the words "granddaughter".

"Nuan Nuan, my ears aren't broken, right?"

"It's not broken." Ning Nuannuan decided not to fight with her heart anymore, grabbed Mrs. Qiao's rough hand and held it tightly: "Grandma, your ears are fine!"

"Good, good."

Mrs. Qiao had tears in her eyes.

"My good granddaughter, fortunately, you are by my side."

-

Ning Nuannuan stayed with the old lady for a long time, and she didn't get up and leave until she fell asleep.

When the housekeeper saw Ning Nuannuan off, Ning Nuannuan started a family affair with him.

"Steward Lin, when did you enter Qiao's house?"

"My father is the steward of the Qiao family. I have been in the Qiao family since I was born." The steward replied.

"Then have you met my mother?"

"Of course I have." When Qiao Xuewei was mentioned, the corners of the housekeeper's lips, which were usually calm, also raised: "Your mother, like you, is a woman who is hard to dislike."

Ning Nuannuan glanced at the housekeeper.

This is hard to comment on!

It feels like he liked his mother when he was young and ignorant.

The housekeeper consciously talked too much and cleared his throat tactically: "Miss Xuewei's status is so noble, I naturally don't dare to think about it. You must not overthink it."

Ning Nuannuan smiled and said "oh" twice, but in her heart she was sure that he had three hundred taels of silver in this place.

"What about my grandpa?"

"Master..." The butler frowned suddenly, "When I was twenty years old, my master contracted a strange disease that was ineffective with medicine and stone. He couldn't be cured even after using countless precious medicines, and he passed away soon after."

"Strange disease?"

Ning Nuannuan stopped and looked at the housekeeper with serious eyes.

"How old was my mother when you were twenty?"

"I'm two years older than your mother."

"When my grandpa got sick, was it summer?"

"Yeah...it was very hot. During the funeral, the old lady fainted under the scorching sun."

Eighteen, summer...

The two torn pages from her mother's diary were exactly what she had recorded before she disappeared.

Is it accidental or inevitable?

Is the mother's disappearance and the contents of the torn diary related to my grandfather's strange illness? What did my mother know that made her prefer to stay in Xia Kingdom for the rest of her life rather than return to Liyue and grandma? Instead, she chose to completely bury what she knew.

She originally thought...

The reason why the mother did not return to Liyue was because of Xu Mu's status as Lord.

But if we look at her diary before her disappearance, the reason why her mother did not return to Qiao's house in Liyue was not just because of her life experience.

Ning Nuannuan was lost in thought, and she didn't react until the housekeeper called her several times.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ning Nuannuan smiled with all her strength, but did not tell the truth: "I was wondering what kind of disease my grandpa was suffering from, and even the Qiao family was helpless... Come to think of it, as the saying goes, a doctor cannot heal himself."
