Chapter 328 This is probably really not simple.

His life was saved!

As soon as the doctor said this, everyone in the room looked at him and the unconscious Qiao Jie'er.

Su Yu looked stunned, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

She had been in the water for so long, and when I went in to rescue her, I deliberately swam slowly so that she would stay in the water longer. How could she still be alive?

I have to say, this girl is incredibly lucky!

Su Zhen and Cui Niang were clearly pleasantly surprised for a moment, but only for a moment. They realized that the doctor's hesitant words afterward didn't seem to be a good thing.

"Just what?"

After a moment of silence, Su Zhen broke the stillness and asked.

The doctor sighed, "Your daughter has hydrocephalus, which may damage her brain. When she wakes up, she may not be as bright and clever as before. Perhaps she won't even recognize people, and her speech will be unclear."

What!

Su Zhen suddenly jolted; had he injured his brain?

He understood, of course, that the doctor was subtly telling him that Sister Qiao might become an idiot after she woke up!

If my perfectly good daughter were to become an idiot, then...

Thinking of this, Su Zhen felt a chill run down his spine.

Cui Niang couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

"My poor child! How could this happen? Don't frighten your mother, Qiao'er, wake up! Let your mother see you!"

Only Su Yu, standing to the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his complexion visibly improving.

Good riddance!

If he were stupid, he wouldn't know about his and his mother's plans, and he wouldn't tell on them!

and......

He glanced at Su Zhen with a sly look, a hint of mockery hidden in his eyes.

His own son and daughter were harmed so badly by his legitimate daughter, and now that his eldest brother's youngest daughter is mentally impaired, it's like collecting some interest.

So what if his eldest daughter is the Crown Princess?

Now he has a young daughter who is mentally challenged. Won't he be ridiculed when he goes out?

Thinking about it this way, Su Yu felt that today was really great.

When Su Zhen learned that Qiao Jie'er might become mentally disabled, his heart sank heavily. However, as the head of the family, he naturally...

They wouldn't wail and cry like Cui Niang.

After listening to the doctor's instructions, he sent everyone out of the room, leaving only him and Cui Niang sitting beside Qiao Jie'er.

Having learned the outcome, Su Yu didn't linger. Instead, he left with peace of mind, offering a few perfunctory words of comfort to Su Zhen before departing.

He then couldn't wait to return to Madam Su and share this joyful news with them.

The next day.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the window cracks, forming a straight line that shone directly onto the mirror. The mirror then refracted the light, creating a blinding beam that shone into Sister Qiao's eyes.

Sister Qiao opened her eyes uncomfortably, her gaze blank.

She moved her fingers slightly, and the other hand that was covering her hand sensed it.

"Sister Qiao, you're awake?"

Cui Niang had been keeping watch by the bedside all night and was already having trouble sleeping, so Qiao Jie'er's small movement woke her up.

She looked at Sister Qiao, who looked completely bewildered, with eyes full of hope and joy.

“Two…A-chan…”

Qiao Jie'er called out "Mother" with difficulty.

Cui Niang was overjoyed, "Qiao Jie'er, you recognize your mother? You...you're not stupid?"

Su Zhen, who was dozing in the outer room, woke up when he heard the noise inside and hurriedly went inside.

"Sister Qiao is awake? How is she?"

Su Zhen looked intently at Sister Qiao, only to find her staring at him blankly.

The two looked at each other, paused for a moment, and then Sister Qiao chuckled foolishly twice.

"Hehe, Daddy... Daddy."

Su Zhen's joy vanished as he saw Qiao Jie's dazed expression. He knew that although his daughter still recognized him, her mind was not as sharp as before.

In particular, he seems to have a slight stutter when he speaks.

He then sat down again and asked Sister Qiao a few questions, only to find that she answered them in a muddled way, sometimes clear-headed and sometimes silly.

"My lord, it seems that Qiao'er's intelligence has regressed to that of a three or four-year-old!"

Cui Niang watched for a long time before finally understanding.

Although her daughter recognized her, her IQ had indeed declined, turning her from a nearly ten-year-old child into a three- or four-year-old toddler.

Immediately, she couldn't help but burst into tears again.

"What are we going to do, sir! Qiao Jie was supposed to be engaged in two years, but now she's like this... Waaah, is there any miracle doctor who can cure Qiao Jie?!"

How can I rest easy after I'm gone, with her like this?

Cui Niang was heartbroken.

Su Zhen was also frowning, but when he heard Cui Niang mention the divine doctor, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately thought of Su Liluo.

Her medical skills seem quite good; she even cured the Crown Prince's legs, which all the imperial physicians said were incurable. So, is Sister Qiao...?

"Don't worry, I'll go find the Crown Princess to take a look. She's a skilled doctor; she might have a solution."

Su Zhen immediately comforted Cui Niang.

Then, he quickly sent someone to the Crown Prince's residence to tell Su Liluo about Sister Qiao's matter and invite her over.

"How could Sister Qiao have fallen into the water when she was perfectly fine?"

The Crown Prince's Residence.

Su Lilu looked at the servant sent by Su Zhen with a strange expression and asked.

She had just returned from Qishan Academy and hadn't even been away for three days dealing with Su Xuanlang's matter. How could something like this have happened at the Su residence?

Her intuition told her that this matter was not simple.
