Taotao was very happy and laughed with pride.
Qiao Xuan felt proud on behalf of her husband too. That was what a celebrity could bring about. Her husband owed Young Master Xie a huge favor.
But Young Master Xie never told lies. If he spoke highly of her husband, then her husband must be worth the praise.
So, should she be hopeful for the autumn examination?
The thought pleased Qiao Xuan completely.
It was the best news ever!
The following day, the four of them ate breakfast together.
The gathering continued on this day. Shao Yunduan did not get too drunk the night before, so he was already quite sober by this time. He even inquired about Qiao Xuan and Taotao about where they went the day before.
Qiao Xuan did not mention the abbey, but only told him briefly about taking a tour outside the town.
Shao Yunduan was about to say something, when Qiao Xuan smiled. "Just very close to town, somewhere with many people around. We didn't or will not go too far."
Shao Yunduan smiled too, and dropped his idea to nag her. "Don't travel too far."
After breakfast, Shao Yunduan and Qi went out, whilst Qiao Xuan and Taotao stayed for a bit longer at the hostel and then stepped out for shopping. There were a few sites with beautiful landscapes that were worth visiting.
At the abbey, Old Master, who was in a coma, woke up finally.
The Old Master had been seriously injured in an accident before. His legs were
crippled, and other body functions were also damaged to some extent. Most of the time he lay down in a daze every day. Going into coma or experiencing occasional pains happened often.
There were some occasions when he would feel better.
Whenever he felt better and the day was nice, he would go out in the wheelchair, asking his servant to help him check the forest consisting of the precious trees that he had planted 30 years ago.
When the Old Master woke up and saw his wife sitting by the bedside crying, he responded with a smile. "You are still not used to this, are you?
Madame forced a smile. "Of course not. You have to get well, don't frighten me!"
She was not afraid of taking care of him, nor was she worried about keeping him company in this tedious abbey. She was just scared that he would pass out and never wake up one day.
The doctor said that his body was already very weak, and his viscera had been severely damaged. These years, he only relied on precious medicinal materials to continue his life. Despite that, it was still getting worse little by little. One day, it would turn so bad that his body wouldn't be able to bear it any longer. At that point, it would be the end of his life.
But his wife did not dare to let him know about that. It was something that continuously pained her heart like a blade hanging over her head, which might drop anytime.
Especially during the past one year, he was getting worse and any small occasion would make her nervous.
But despite the relapse that happened today, Old Master looked good and ate a lot more food during dinner and drank a more bowl of soup.
"Maybe I had been trapped indoors for too long, and today, I am much better and feeling more energetic!"
His wife felt very nervous upon hearing the words!
This should not have be the last moment before death, right?
She forced a smile. 'Good that you are getting better, good…"
First Madame slept in the Old Master's room that night. She barely dared to close her eyes in case something happened..
