Chapter 269 Fanfan Knows

Zhu Jiabao sighed helplessly: "I'm already so old, and I've seen so many old friends pass away. I was mentally prepared. If you're really filial, just take good care of Fanfan after I'm gone."

Zhu Zixi replied firmly, "Grandpa Jiu, I am your cousin, it is only natural for me to take care of my cousin. It is my unfilial piety that I did not come back after Grandma Jiu passed away."

Zhu Jiabao helped the person up and explained again, "Your Ninth Grandmother's matter happened suddenly. It's all because those reactionaries wanted to stir up trouble. It has nothing to do with you. You can't just ask for leave whenever you want in the army."

Zhu Zixi was still filled with guilt: "Ninth Grandfather, I will work hard to achieve great things and move to the capital to take care of you and Fanfan."

Zhu Zixi remembered that when his family was all gone, it was his Ninth Grandfather who took him back and raised him for several years. His Ninth Grandfather was quite strict and never hesitated to beat the children when they did something wrong. At that time, it was always his Ninth Grandmother who would step in to comfort him. Usually, his Ninth Grandmother would take great care of him and make him feel the warmth of home.

As he grew up, he understood how his great-grandparents worked together, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop in educating their grandchildren. Thinking about it made him feel happy, knowing that someone was willing to put in the effort for him when he was still a child and prevent him from going astray.

Zhu Jiabao could only offer words of comfort once again. What was wrong with these children? He was the one who suddenly lost his spouse, and he didn't show his sadness because he still had a young child at home. If he dared to be sad, that child would definitely cry even more miserably than him. He had been holding back, holding back all along. It would be too much to ask an old man like him to hold back his sadness and comfort these children.

The Zhu family started to get lively. The two remaining grandnephews couldn't leave and called to offer their comfort.

After everyone left, just when Zhu Jiabao felt he could return to calm, Ming Zhengyang arrived. Zhu Jiabao knew that there had been progress in his wife's case. He looked around and saw that his granddaughter was not there. He then used his internal energy to sense that Fanfan was not moving at all, so it seemed that she was resting in the house. He was relieved.

Ming Zhengyang didn't mince words: "It's pretty much what you guessed. The reason my sister-in-law was targeted was because she refined a high-grade elixir. The news was leaked, and the enemy agents felt that my sister-in-law's achievement posed too great a threat to them, so they plotted to harm her."

Zhu Jiabao didn't know what she was feeling, but she hurriedly said, "We must keep this from Fanfan. Don't let Fanfan know. I'm still thinking of a reason that Fanfan can accept."

That little girl is not smart when she should be, and she is incredibly smart when she shouldn't be. We need to come up with a flawless reason to keep this from her.

Ming Zhengyang didn't understand that sacrificing for the country is an honor, especially since Sister-in-law Yumin was targeted because she was too capable and was feared by others. Even enemy agents only took action because they had great confidence in her.

Before he could figure it out, Zhu Fanfan appeared at the stairwell at some point, suddenly vomited blood, and fainted.

Zhu Jiabao rushed over anxiously. He listened to his granddaughter's breathing and found it seemed fine, but since he wasn't a medical professional, he wasn't sure. He was about to take her to the hospital when Ming Zhengyang stopped him, saying, "Wait here, I'll go find a car."

After saying that, they went out. There were quite a few cars in the compound, and everyone knew each other. They could borrow one with just a word, so they borrowed one quickly and rushed the two of them to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Xu Jingqian already knew what had happened. He rushed over to check on her and sighed, "Brother-in-law, wasn't Fanfan's mood already stable? How could she suddenly have such a sudden attack of anger and liver qi stagnation? You..."

I've told him that Fanfan is prone to overthinking and petty. Even though she doesn't seem to be upset about what happened to her sister, she must be heartbroken inside. I told him to be careful. I don't know why the Zhu family teaches their children to hide their emotions. Children should laugh when they want to laugh and cry when they want to cry, and express their emotions at any time. Now, it's like no one can figure out what Fanfan is thinking.

I told you before that Zhu Fanfan was feeling a bit depressed, and asked my brother-in-law to comfort her. He just took over my sister's job and has been so busy lately that he hasn't had time to check on Fanfan, which has made her depression worse. Now she's even vomiting blood.

Zhu Jiabao looked several years older: "She heard that her grandmother was killed because she had refined a high-grade elixir."

Xu Jingqian was furious: "Brother-in-law, how could you let her hear this news?"

Zhu Jiabao rubbed his face: "I wish she would never know. Now that she does, she should accept the fact. Ming Zhengyang, you caused this, so you should take responsibility."

Ming Zhengyang refused to take the blame: "How did I cause this? I was just following my superior's instructions to tell you the result."

He was also very stressed from participating in the trial, okay? He had expended a lot of energy to get his sister-in-law's case resolved as soon as possible, and he hadn't even recovered yet. He didn't say anything, but as soon as he entered the Zhu family's door, he was hit with a huge pot.

Zhu Jiabao said, "Yu Min's talent is not enough. She has never been able to refine any pills, not even low-grade ones."

Although he didn't understand how to distinguish between low-grade and high-grade pills, he could still grasp the difference between them. In particular, his wife's medical skills were undeniable, yet she couldn't refine any pills and was obsessed with it, which showed the importance of pills.

Ming Zhengyang was puzzled: "If my sister-in-law couldn't refine it, then why is there a saying that she can refine high-level pills? Is my sister-in-law taking the blame for someone else?"

Zhu Jiabao glanced at Zhu Fanfan and saw that she was awake, but she asked blankly, "So I killed Grandma, didn't I?"

Zhu Jiabao hurriedly said, "Why do you always say things like that? I told you it has nothing to do with you. It's all because of those enemy agents trying to cause trouble. Your grandma is being targeted."

Zhu Fanfan said, "My grandmother was targeted because of high-grade pills."

Zhu Jiabao patiently explained, "Regardless of whether there are high-grade pills or not, your grandmother will be targeted because there is a small country that, although small in size, has a very advanced medical system and a dominant economy. It will not allow people with good medical skills like you to survive, especially medical talents who are making a name for themselves internationally."

Why was their country subjected to economic blockade? Because their country was once glorious, but it was bullied by a group of powerful nations who wanted to carve up their country. Only by completely defeating them and taking control of them could they succeed. They refused to accept their fate and forged a path with their lives and blood. Those nations could no longer suppress them and could only let them grow stronger under their pressure.

Those people fear that they will rise again after their period of obscurity, and they want them to remain obscure forever. As long as there are elites, they will try every means to make them disappear. That small country is particularly covetous, and they are trying to destroy their country with sugar-coated bullets in a despicable way. Although many people are unmoved, a small number of people still cannot resist being corrupted. It is only natural that these people are being targeted.
