Yan Qianyi couldn't hold it in after all and asked, "Grandma, is Ah Lie here?"
Nangong Xiaoxue said, "He had something urgent come up last night and left Capital Star; he's currently on his way back."
"Oh," Yan Qianyi let out a sigh of relief.
With Mu Yunlie not around, she could focus on treating Nangong Jie's illness.
From the end of the corridor came Nangong Jie's coughing.
"It's just up ahead." Nangong Xiaoxue quickened her pace.
Upon reaching the door, Yan Qianyi saw Old Master Mu half-lying on the bed, with servants attending to him.
"Darling, Qianyi has arrived," Nangong Xiaoxue entered the room.
"Give me the items." Yan Qianyi took her belongings from the driver's hand and followed inside, "Duke, good day to you."
She remembered the last time she saw Nangong Jie, he was a handsome old man full of vigor.
Illness strikes like a landslide; it seemed that suddenly, Nangong Jie had aged years, his whole person appearing haggard.
