Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2861 - 2797: Unshaken

Ding Haijing asked, "So, do you want them to remain quiet? Or do you want them to have no choice but to move?""Let’s ignore it for now."

She had finally gotten a chance to breathe, a moment to relax, why force them to act now?

Besides, they could be watching and waiting for change or preparing a bigger move against her. If they can prepare, she certainly should be preparing as well.

However, her preparations rest upon the premise that Meng Xinian has returned safely.

Right now, Jiang Xiao just wanted to wait for Meng Xinian to come back. Before he returns, she simply has no mind to carry out any major plans.

If her side causes too much of a stir, it might provoke certain people to go after Meng Xinian. She absolutely does not want anything to happen to him.

So, let’s wait until he returns.

After two days of thunderstorms, Jiang Xiao went to the sanatorium, and as soon as Madam Cui saw her, she grabbed her hand excitedly and said, "Xiao Chiang, I have something to tell you!"

Seeing Madam Cui’s barely contained excitement, Jiang Xiao could vaguely guess what she wanted to say.

Yesterday, there was sudden lightning and thunder, the thunder was terrifying.

At the time, she was wondering if such a thunderstorm would frighten Madam Cui.

But now seeing Madam Cui’s expression, Jiang Xiao could tell she had made it through yesterday safely.

As expected, Madam Cui was indeed going to talk about it.

"You knew about yesterday’s lightning and thunder, right? I wasn’t scared at all, which has never happened before!"

Madam Cui said happily, "If you can believe it, I’ve always had to plug my ears with cotton during such weather, but even so, the fright would leave my heart feeling terrible, sometimes catching me off guard, even fainting. Every time there was such weather, the Alliance Officials would worry profoundly about me, never leaving my side."

At this, Madam Cui let out a sigh.

"Really? Madam was unharmed yesterday?"

Madam Cui said, "No, I was really fine, so I’m very happy."

Madam Cui made a point to tell Jiang Xiao about this because she felt her improvement was due to Jiang Xiao’s efforts.

For many years, this mysterious illness tormented her, and she felt it had tortured her for half a lifetime. If it wasn’t for the Alliance Officials’ exceptional skill in protecting her at all times, in the turbulent years she would have died countless times.

However, before meeting Jiang Xiao, Madam Cui genuinely felt she was nearing the end of her life.

She always felt her heart was nearing its limit, so weak it could barely beat, unsure when a sudden shock would stop it permanently, ending her life abruptly.

The idea of dying didn’t scare her, but there was always something in her heart she couldn’t let go, some unwillingness.

"Congratulations, Madam. Perhaps the new medicine the doctor prescribed is particularly effective?" Jiang Xiao said.

Madam Cui shook her head and said, "I know very well, the doctor’s medicine is good, but all this is still thanks to you."

The potion Jiang Xiao provided, the Lingzhi and Ginseng, the snacks she occasionally brought, and even the paintings—all of them were therapeutic.

So, it’s definitely thanks to Jiang Xiao.

"I don’t dare take such credit, Madam’s open-mindedness also plays a part," Jiang Xiao said.
