Chapter 181 - Harmony

Liang Zhou looked at her husband coquettishly and said, “I don’t deserve this compliment. In any case, you better think of a way to lure the old lady here…”

Mu Qing replied, “Don’t worry, she’ll definitely come. I’ve already spread the news…”

After handing the peeled apple to Mu Qing, Liang Zhou said, “Your family’s hearts are made of stones; they’re really difficult to deal with…”

Mu Qing glanced at her and said teasingly, “If they were so easy to deal with, they would’ve been fooled by a vixen like you…”

Liang Zhou smiled and did not reply. She was thinking about her own matters.

…

When Song Ning was about to get off work, Jiang Jin and Sister Yu came to look for her. Needless to say, she was shocked and worried when she saw the duo. She asked Sister Yu, “What happened? Is Grandma not feeling well?”.

Sister Yu hurriedly said, “It’s okay, Young Madam. Nothing’s wrong.”

With this, Song Ning sighed in relief. Then, she supported Jiang Jin and guided her to a chair to take a seat.

However, Jiang Jin did not sit down. Instead, she held Song Ning’s hand and said, “Ningning, I’m here to visit Mu Qing…”

Song Ning was confused for a split second before she recalled who Mu Qing was.

“He… What’s wrong?” Song Ning asked. She could not think of a suitable way to address Mu Qing.

Jiang Jin naturally did not care about these trivial things. She said, “I heard from your second granduncle that Mu Qing was hospitalized because of some neurological issues. I don’t know if it’s serious. Can you help me find out what’s wrong?”

Song Ning agreed readily. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll help you check which department’s ward he’s staying in and ask about his condition…”

Jiang Jin nodded. She watched as Song Ning began typing on the computer.

After a moment, Song Ning said, “Grandma, he’s in the Neurology Department’s private ward. Why don’t I accompany you to have a look?”

Song Ning naturally knew Jiang Jin wanted to see her son so she could feel at ease. Hence, without waiting for Jiang Jin’s reply, she supported Jiang Jin and led her to Mu Qing’s private ward.

…

When Song Ning and the others entered the room, Mu Qing was leaning against the headboard and reading a book. He seemed shocked when he saw Jiang Jin. “Mother, what are you doing here?”

Jiang Jin hurriedly moved to stand next to the bed and asked worriedly, “Why are you in the hospital?”

Mu Qing put the book down and nodded at Song Ning and Sister Yu before he said with a smile, “It’s nothing serious. Liang Zhou is making a mountain out of a molehill and insisted I get hospitalized…”

At this moment, Liang Zhou entered the room. When she saw Song Ning and the others, she asked in surprise, “Old Madam? Young Madam? Why are you here?”

Jiang Jin only shrugged slightly in response while Song Ning remained silent.

In the end, Sister Yu replied, “Old Madam heard that the Master was hospitalized so she came over to have a look.”

Upon hearing these words, Liang Zhou hurriedly said, “I’m sorry for making you worry. Mu Qing’s condition isn’t serious, but it isn’t trivial either. I wanted him to stay in the hospital to recuperate so his condition won’t worsen in the future…”

Jiang Jin nodded. “You did the right thing. Any sort of illness shouldn’t be taken lightly. After all, even a small illness can become a serious illness. It’s good that he’s here to recuperate…” Then, she said to Song Ning, “Song Ning, check his pulse…”

“Yes, Grandma.” Song Ning agreed. She stepped forward and gestured for Mu Qing to extend his hand.

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment before he presented his wrist to Song Ning.

Song Ning’s brows furrowed as she concentrated on checking Mu Qing’s pulse.

Upon seeing this, Liang Zhou exclaimed, “The Young Madam is really capable!”

Jiang Jin only looked at Song Ning with an expression filled with pride.

After checking Mu Qing’s pulse, Song Ning said, “You need to pay more attention to your health. If I’m not mistaken, you usually have heart palpitations and insomnia. Your spleen and stomach are not in harmony, and your qi and blood are all deficient. Fortunately, your body is still very strong. As long as you take care of your health, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

Liang Zhou said in admiration, “Heavens, the Young Madam is really amazing. It’s true that Mu Qing has had insomnia since before…”

Jiang Jin felt distressed upon hearing this. “Has he been suffering from insomnia for a long time?”

Mu Qing smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.

Jiang Jin asked, “Song Ning, can you prescribe some Chinese medicine for his condition?”

Song Ning nodded. “Yes, I can. I’ll write a prescription for him when I get back and hand it to the nurses here.”

Liang Zhou said excitedly, “Thank you so much, Young Madam! You’re really amazing…”

Song Ning said softly, “You can just call me Song Ning.”

Liang Zhou was like a completely different person from the person who threatened her at Zhuang Ji. This made Song Ning even warier.

Mu Qing looked at Song Ning with a kind and friendly gaze as he said, “Thank you, Song Ning.”

Song Ning lowered her gaze and retreated behind Jiang Jin as she said, “There’s no need for that. You just need to take care of your health.”

Jiang Jin looked at her son whose hair was already greying at the temples; she felt her heart ache. “Since you’re here, remember to take good care of yourself. I’ll get someone to send you nutritious food; the food in the hospital isn’t good enough. It’s better to eat home-cooked food.” After saying that, she glanced at Liang Zhou.

Liang Zhou was quick-witted and hurriedly said, “Old Madam is right. It’s my fault that I’ve never been skilled in cooking or housework…”

Jiang Jin did not reply to her.

Mu Qing said apologetically, “Originally, I planned to visit and accompany Mother every day. Who knew I’d end up being hospitalized and even had to trouble mother to visit me. I’m really unfilial…”

Jiang Jin sighed. “Take good care of yourself so you can leave the hospital as soon as possible. If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave now.”
