Fu Jingting’s eyebrows softened down, “It’s alright, I didn’t let Feng Ma get you up because I think it’s most important for you to rest.”
Only when grandmother was well rested would her body be well too.
But Grandma had indeed rested for too long!
He had always known that his grandmother had the habit of taking a lunch break, a habit she had developed when she was young and had never stopped for decades.
She had always taken a two-hour lunch break, from one o’clock to three o’clock, resting and getting up on time.
Now, however, she has taken a four-hour break from one o’clock to now.
Although it is good to be able to sleep, sometimes it is bad to sleep too long.
Especially for someone of her age.
Sleeping for too long could only mean that the body’s functions were getting worse and worse, and the time spent awake was getting less and less.
As he thought, Fu Jingting pursed his thin lips and looked at the top of Old Madam’s head.
Looking at the old lady’s snow-white and snow-white hair, Fu Jingting’s heart felt slightly blocked.
At this moment, he truly felt that his grandmother was getting old!
“Feng Ma.” Fu Jingting withdrew his gaze and looked towards Feng Ma who was holding the Old Madam on the other side.
Hearing him call out to her, Feng Ma immediately responded with a probe, “Is there something wrong, Eldest Young Master?”
“Did grandmother sleep this long only today, or has she been sleeping this long all this time?” Fu Jingting asked as he held the old lady’s hand, slightly tightening it.
Feng Ma seemed to know the significance of his question and looked at Old Madam, grief flickering under her eyes.
The old madam naturally understood, but was in a good frame of mind and remained smiling, “It’s alright Little Feng, if Jing Ting wants to know, you can tell him.”
“Old madam.”
“Jing Ting will know sooner or later anyway, it’s fine, just say it.” The old madam patted the back of Feng’s hand soothingly.
Feng Ma’s mouth opened, and after a moment, she nodded with a little whimper, “Okay, I say, Eldest Young Master, Old Madam has indeed been resting for longer and longer in recent times, but it’s all indirect, only sleeping for such a long time every two or three days, basically it’s still the same as before, only maintaining a daily two-hour lunch break sleep.”
Hearing these words, Fu Jingting’s tense face relaxed slightly.
Although it was true that grandmother was now taking longer and longer breaks, it wasn’t like this every day.
This meant that grandmother’s health was, as yet, not at its most serious.
If she rested for such a long time every day, that would be really troublesome.
“Grandmother.” After Fu Jingting helped the old madam to sit down on the tai shi chair, he looked at her with a serious face, “The sanatorium I mentioned to you last time, this time you have to go to whatever you say.”
After the old lady was hospitalised earlier, Lin Tianchen told him that his grandmother was just these two years away.
So he wanted to send his grandmother over to the sanatorium, hoping to let her live for another year or two.
Later on, he told his grandmother about this matter, including her physical condition, and told her as well, just hoping that she would listen to him and go to the sanatorium.
But she refused, saying that the sanatorium was not as comfortable as home, and she said she would not go there for anything and wanted to be at home.
He could not resist her, and as she was in good spirits, he thought it would be better to go there later.
The less time she spends awake, the faster her body declines.
At this rate, she might not last two years.
So this time, he had to let his grandmother go over whatever he said, he absolutely could not let her be capricious on her own.
Hearing Fu Jingting’s words, Feng Ma at the side also hurriedly nodded, “Yes old madam, the eldest young master is right, you really have to go to the sanatorium, look at you now”
The words after that, Feng Ma could not continue, her voice was getting choked up.
The old lady looked at her grandson, who had a serious face, and at Feng Ma, who was crying uncontrollably, and sighed, “Come on guys, it’s not a big deal, life and death have a destiny, it’s normal and I can accept it openly. If I were to live any longer, wouldn’t I be an old demon? In saying that, Jingting, didn’t I tell you before that I miss your grandfather, he’s been waiting for me down there for so long, I don’t want him to suddenly have to wait for a long time when he’s about to wait for me, I’m afraid he’ll get impatient and leave first, then I won’t be able to find him when I go down.”
Hearing the longing for his grandfather in his grandmother’s tone, Fu Jingting’s originally forced words were now blocked in his throat, and he didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t even know what to do!
Even if he forced her to go to the sanatorium, she would not be in a good mood and the treatment at the sanatorium would not be effective.
If she didn’t go, and he complied with her wishes and didn’t let her go, he would be in the same pain as he was when he looked at her health, which was getting worse and worse.
So he, really, didn’t know what to do.
Feng’s mother at the side was the same, crying and not even knowing whether she should continue to cry or not.
The old lady looked at Fu Jingting, who was frowning in silence, and at Feng Ma, who was secretly sad at the side, and knew that her words had made their hearts hard.
She laughed and clapped her hands, “Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that, Jingting, what did you come to see me about?”
Fu Jingting knew that the old lady was deliberately changing the subject and did not want to go on, so he pursed his lips and said, “I came to find you because I want to confirm one thing from you.”
“Go ahead.” The old lady lifted her cup of tea, elegantly blew on the tea leaves and said with a slight nod of her head.
Fu Jingting looked at her, “Grandmother, I want to know if you are clear about the fact that my mother, in the past, deliberately groomed me as a stand-in for Su Cheng?”
As soon as these words came out, Old Madam’s movements of blowing on her tea immediately paused.
Even Feng Ma, who was pressing and squeezing the Old Madam’s shoulders at the side, stared in shock.
Fu Jingting watched the two old people’s actions, his eyes sank and he did not say anything, waiting for the two old people to speak.
After waiting for about two or three minutes, the old lady also did not drink her tea, put the lid on her teacup and put it on the small table to the side, then looked at him with a serious expression, “This matter, how did you know about it?”
“It seems that what I said, is true?” Fu Jingting asked instead of answering.
The old lady nodded, then sighed once again, “It’s true, this matter, was done by your mother, when I knew about it, I simply found it unbelievable, a mother, how could she do such an incomprehensible thing, but at that time, your mother had already pa*sed away, so I was so angry that I couldn’t even find her trouble, I could only swallow this secret in anger and not let you know about it. I knew very well that although you had been deliberately raised by your mother to be a very gentle child, your nature and pride were still there, and it was absolutely impossible for you to accept that you would not only resent your mother when you found out, but there was no telling what you would do.”
The old lady’s eyes were complicated, “Although I am angry at your mother for doing such a confusing thing, I don’t want you to really hold a grudge against your mother in your heart and feel resentment towards her, no matter what, she gave you life and motherly love, even if there are other things in this motherly love, but everything in the past, cannot be faked, so I would rather you not know anything and want keep your mother in your heart, always at her best.”
She looked at him, “I originally thought that after your mother’s death, coupled with my deliberate concealment, this matter could remain hidden, but I didn’t expect that something I had deliberately concealed for so long would still be known to you.”
Fu Jingting clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, “If Su Cheng is alive, this matter can never be concealed.”
