Chapter 669 The hatred in Jiang Jinglan's eyes
When Jiang Mubai finished washing up and went downstairs for breakfast, he found that the old house was quieter today than before. Even Chen Qingyu did not come down at dinner time.
Jiang Mubai didn't ask much, but when he was resting after breakfast, he heard about Jiang Ping's coma last night. The reason was that he saw people in the old house carrying things upstairs. Jiang Mubai was curious so he asked the housekeeper.
"Is anyone upstairs feeling unwell? I saw no one came downstairs to eat this morning."
Seeing Jiang Mubai asking this, the housekeeper was actually hesitant about whether to tell the other party about this. Although she didn't know what happened in the ancestral hall last night, based on the few words from other members of the Jiang family, Jiang An seemed to be mentioned. The housekeeper saw that those people thought that Jiang Ping's coma was related to Jiang An, so the housekeeper didn't know whether to tell Jiang Mubai about this at this time.
Seeing that the housekeeper didn't say anything, Jiang Mubai thought that his question was very embarrassing for the other party, so he became understanding.
"Is this question difficult? Or is it inconvenient to ask? If it is not convenient, then I won't ask. You can go and do your work first."
"No, it's not difficult. Something happened in the ancestral hall last night. I wasn't there at the time and don't know what happened. Anyway, in the end, Master Ping was carried back unconscious."
"Uncle fainted? Is it serious?"
"He was awake in the morning and seemed to be fine, but the family doctor didn't look very happy. We servants didn't dare to ask too much. As for Master Ping's health, we actually don't know."
"Why didn't you wake me up yesterday for such an important matter? I didn't even know about it until now."
"Maybe you forgot because the situation was urgent. Besides, waking up the Second Miss wouldn't help and would only increase your worries. Besides, you can't stay up late in your current condition, so I didn't bother you."
"Okay, is uncle awake now? Is aunt also upstairs now?"
"Well, not only is the Madam here, but the eldest daughter was also woken up last night and has been keeping watch in the room upstairs."
"Okay, I got it. It's not time for class yet so I'll go up and check on uncle."
The housekeeper told Jiang Mubai so much because she had figured out some things. Jiang Ping's fainting had nothing to do with Jiang Mubai. Jiang Mubai was innocent, so when she knew about Jiang Ping's body care products, she, as his niece, should have visited him after hearing about it.
So when the housekeeper saw Jiang Mubai wanted to go upstairs to visit Jiang Ping, he did not stop him.
After Jiang Mubai finished talking to the housekeeper, he went straight upstairs to Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyu's room. Jiang Ping was lying on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking about, while Chen Qingyu and Jiang Jinglan were talking about something.
Jiang Mubai saw the knock on the door to remind them that the three of them were coming. Jiang Ping, who was lying on the bed, did not respond to the knock and no one knew what he was doing. However, Chen Qingyu and Jiang Jinglan immediately quieted down after hearing the sound and stopped whispering to each other.
Seeing that Chen Qingyu and Jiang Jinglan noticed him, Jiang Mubai immediately stepped forward, called them and greeted them.
Chen Qingyu's attitude towards Jiang Mubai today was unprecedentedly cold. Jiang Mubai thought that Chen Qingyu was in a bad mood because Jiang Ping was sick, so she didn't think much about it and started to understand and care about him.
"Aunt, is uncle okay? I heard from the housekeeper that uncle woke up, so I came up to check on him."
"It's okay. Your uncle won't die for now. It's a pity that you came all the way to see him now."
If Chen Qingyu's attitude towards him just now was considered cold, then his words now were simply directed at him. Jiang Mubai was not a fool and could naturally hear the sarcastic meaning in the other party's words.
Jiang Mubai didn't understand why Chen Qingyu's attitude towards her became so bad just one night. She suspected that she came to visit her too late and made Chen Qingyu unhappy.
When he thought of this, Jiang Mubai couldn't help but explain for himself: "I went to bed early last night and didn't know what happened to my uncle. If I knew, I would definitely come to see him. And last night everyone was caring for my uncle and no one called me, so I didn't know what happened last night until this morning."
Chen Qingyu didn't say anything or express any reaction to Jiang Mubai's explanation, but Jiang Jinglan, who was standing nearby, couldn't bear to listen any longer.
"Jiang Mubai, stop pretending here. If it wasn't for your father, would my dad be like this now? Who are you doing this for by running in front of us now? Our family doesn't want to see you anymore. Can you please go out now and don't disturb my dad's rest?"
Jiang Mubai didn't know what had happened, but just from what Jiang Jinglan said, he seemed to know that Jiang Ping's matter was related to Jiang An.
Seeing Jiang Jinglan's accusations against him, Jiang Mubai was at a loss as to what to do. The hatred in Jiang Jinglan's eyes seemed to want to kill Jiang Mubai.
Even Chen Qingyu did not consider the overall situation and speak a fair word for Jiang Mubai this time. Jiang Mubai felt embarrassed standing here and being targeted by the two of them.
But Jiang Ping, who was lying on the bed resting, seemed to come back to her senses after hearing the noise. She turned around and saw Jiang Mubai standing in front of the door and immediately became excited.
"Mu Bai...Mu Bai is here. Uncle is fine, don't worry!"
Seeing that Jiang Ping was still willing to pay attention to him, Jiang Mubai stepped forward and asked with concern: "Uncle, are you okay now? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"It's okay, uncle, are you okay? I'm not feeling well. I'm glad that Mu Bai can come and see me. Has your father returned to the old house? Did he ask you to come and see me?"
"No, Dad called me yesterday and said he's very busy lately and won't be returning to the old house. He probably doesn't know about Uncle's illness yet. Do you want me to call him and tell him to come back to see you?"
After hearing what Jiang Ping and Jiang Mubai said, Chen Qingyu snorted coldly but couldn't help but complain harshly.
"At this time, are you still concerned about your cold-blooded brother? Don't forget that Jinglan and I stayed up all night to take care of you. Did your good brother call you to ask about your situation? No! I don't believe that those people didn't tell him about your situation, but your brother is still cold-hearted and doesn't care about you. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be like this now."
When Chen Qingyu mentioned Jiang An, she hated him to death in her heart. Otherwise, she would not have been able to help but direct her anger towards Jiang Mubai.
When Jiang Mubai heard Chen Qingyu blaming Jiang An, she wanted to help but didn't know how to start. After all, she didn't know what happened between Jiang Ping and Jiang An.
However, when Jiang Ping saw Chen Qingyu say this to Jiang An, he became emotional and immediately helped to refute it.
"This matter has nothing to do with A'an, so don't involve him. Mu Bai, don't listen to what your aunt says. Your father and I are fine, so don't worry."
