Chapter 303: Judgment? An old bachelor in his early 4s
"Based on my intuition and experience, I think that Doctor Han has taken a fancy to the little girl. Didn't you see him putting food into her bowl during the meal? This is too abnormal." Zheng Cheng supported his chin.
"What are you judging? When will an old bachelor in his early forties get married? Oh! Sister, look at your son. He is already in his early forties and still hasn't married. We will not be able to see you and your wife in the future." When the old lady said this, she looked at Zheng Cheng and remembered that he was still unmarried in his early forties. She looked very disappointed. Did she want the Zheng family to be extinct? "Sister, if you and your wife are still alive, please go to this boy's dream at night to enlighten him."
"Madam, you are talking about the little girl, why are you involving me again?" Zheng Cheng looked at Chen Shuhua beside him, his face slightly red as he lowered his head.
The old lady knew what he meant, but it had been more than 20 years since the incident, and it was time for him to let it go and plan for his future, as he was not a child anymore.
It turned out that Zheng Cheng and Chen Shuhua were childhood sweethearts. Zheng Cheng had long been interested in her, but he felt that he was not worthy of her, so he made up his mind to make achievements. If there were no interference from outsiders, perhaps the two of them would really get married. Although Chen Shuhua had been engaged, the marriage was not a matter of a word from the old Duke Chen. But who knew that Shen Wenting suddenly appeared in the middle of the process and was poached.
Now Chen Shuhua has two children, but is still single. When Old Duke Chen asked him privately, he said he had not met the right person.
Over the years, almost all the girls, big and small, in the capital had been introduced to Zheng Cheng, but he didn't like any of them. Over time, the matchmakers in the capital began to suspect that there was something wrong with General Zheng Cheng.
This suspicion led to rumors that General Zheng Cheng had a problem and that was why he did not marry. Duke Chen tried to persuade him, but after a long time he gave up and let him take his own course. Without anyone noticing, as he got older, no one looked up to him anymore.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Zheng Cheng. It was just that when he went on a blind date, his mind was filled with Chen Shuhua and he couldn't think of anyone else. In order not to waste others' time, he would rather be single.
Hearing that Shen Wenting treated her well, he felt relieved. Shen Wenting vowed not to take a concubine, so he could do the same. In fact, he had proved it with his actions over the years. Now that she was living a good life, it was time for him to let it go.
The old lady was right. Zheng Cheng was not a child anymore. If he didn't get married, how would he face his parents who passed away young? So Zheng Cheng decided to get married if he found the right person.
"General Zheng Cheng, mother is right." Chen Shuhua gave a faint smile.
"Well, I'll consider it if there's a suitable one." He looked at Chen Shuhua and said seriously.
"That's right. No matter what, we are a family. When the old man gets better, I will give him more money and let the matchmaker arrange something for you." The old lady nodded with satisfaction.
Yao Qingnian went over and waited for a while before the old Duke woke up: "What happened to me?"
The anesthetic hadn't fully worn off yet and he was still a little weak.
"Grandfather, you had a sudden illness and fainted, but you're okay now."
"Girl, I felt like I had a very long dream. I dreamed that I was at the gates of hell and almost went in. Someone reached out and pulled me back."
"Haha, you said it was a dream. But you can't drink anymore in the future. If you drink again, maybe it won't be a dream anymore!" Yao Qingnian joked.
"I don't want to drink anymore. I don't want to drink anymore. What's wrong with me? Why can't I move?" He felt weak all over and wanted to move, but found that he could not move at all. There was a strange bottle on his head, dripping water from it.
"Don't worry, the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet. It's normal that you can't move. Just rest well for a few days and you'll be able to get out of bed and walk around soon." Yao Qingnian said softly, asking the servant to massage his hands and feet to prevent muscle paralysis from prolonged immobility.
He didn't quite understand what his granddaughter said, but he understood that he was no longer in danger. Glancing at Han Junze beside him, he said calmly, "Dr. Han, why are you here too? Did you save this old man? Thank you."
Han Junze stepped forward to feel his pulse, which was stable and nothing serious happened: "Duke Chen misunderstood. I did not save you. When I came here, my cousin had already cured you. You have a great granddaughter. Fortunately, she came here in time today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. You are fine now, and you will recover after resting for a while."
"So it was you, girl, who saw the fortune for the old man. Haha, who said you are a disaster star? You are clearly a lucky star." Old Duke Chen laughed.
"Of course, my master...how could Miss Shen be a disaster star? Whoever is talking nonsense is wrongly accusing her." Han Junze said while holding a fan.
"Okay, Grandpa, you have a good rest. It's getting late and we should go back. I will come to check you again tomorrow. Remember you can't drink water or eat food within three hours." Yao Qingnian reminded again.
"Okay, Grandfather got it."
"Duke Chen, I will take my leave now."
"Goodbye, Doctor Han." The old Duke replied.
After Han Junze left, when the injection of the medicine was finished, Yao Qingnian put away the IV bottle and put it back into the space before letting Old Madam Chen and others come in to visit.
"Old man, you scared me to death. When the court doctor said you were dying, I almost lost my soul. It was all thanks to girl Nianran who saved you." The old lady couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Duke Chen lying in bed.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine. I'm fine!" Duke Chen moved his weak hands and gently wiped away her tears.
When the court doctor heard that the man had woken up, he also rushed over. After checking Duke Chen's pulse, he showed a look of surprise. No one knew the Duke's health better than him. His pulse and breath had stabilized, so it seemed that he was really fine. "Miss cousin, I was wrong before. I apologize to you here."
"Old doctor, you are too serious. You are just worried about my grandfather's emergency. Now that his condition has stabilized, I will trouble you to keep an eye on him. I will come over to check on my grandfather's recovery in the next few days."
Yao Qingnian explained the precautions, including diet and medication after the operation. The medicine prescribed by Yao Qingnian seemed a little strange, but the doctor did not ask too many questions. He wrote down everything she said in detail, and then said goodbye and went back with peace of mind.
"Mom, I'll come visit you and Dad another day. Don't hide anything from your daughter anymore."
"You're blaming me, aren't you the same? You only report good news and not bad news. If anything happens in the future, you must tell your parents. The door of our home is always open to you." The old lady looked at Chen Shuhua lovingly.
