Gu Jingze naturally went inside first.
Nothing much had happened to them, but the clan members were already crying outside.
Many people were crying. They were even more like their own grandchildren than him, their own grandchildren.
Seeing that Gu Jingze had returned, everyone immediately stood up and welcomed the return of the patriarch.
The treatment of the patriarch was different from that of other people. Everyone looked like they were following his lead, and they had to quickly put away their little schemes in their hearts.
"Mr. Gu."
"Jingze, you're back."
"Jingze, you're finally here. Your grandfather … Aiyo, the family can only rely on you in the future …"
Gu Jingze greeted everyone and went in to inquire about his condition.
Outside, Lin Che looked inside and felt that his entrance had caused the women who had been sitting and gossiping to fall silent. When they saw Mu Wanqing enter the door with her, they all looked at her. Some smiled in a friendly manner, while others looked at her with concern. Curious gazes kept flashing in front of his eyes.
After Lin Che sat down, Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Che and said to her, "How are you feeling now?"
Lin Che said, "Ah? I'm fine. It's nothing serious. I just have some morning sickness. "
"Sigh, you've suffered. Some people's morning sickness isn't serious, but you seem to vomit every time."
"Yeah, maybe it's because of my body."
Lin Che said, "Mom, is Grandpa's illness very serious this time?" She looked at the people beside her and felt that their expressions were a little different.
Mu Wanqing said, "Grandpa's illness … It's hard to say. However, I wanted to call you here because … I want to take over the position of Mistress for you if anything happens to Grandpa."
"What?" Lin Che fainted.
She never thought that she would hear such news as soon as she came back.
It was a bolt out of the blue.
She wasn't prepared at all. She didn't even know what a Mistress was supposed to do.
Mu Wanqing said, "If something happens to Grandpa Jingze, it will definitely be chaotic for a while. It's better to let you take over first, but I'm worried about your body."
Lin Che quickly said, "I'm indeed … It's because of my body. I'm also a little worried. I don't think I'm up to the task …"
Mu Wanqing was also very depressed. At this time, the old man was sick.
Even though Gu Jingze had protected Lin Che very well, there were still rumors about Lin Che taking over the position of the First Lady. Everyone doubted Lin Che and felt that she was not up to the task. The voices of opposition were also very obvious.
Therefore, Mu Wanqing had no choice but to think about it in advance, in case the old man really passed away. The house was in chaos. Someone took the opportunity to push in a new mistress, squeezing Lin Che out of sight.
At that time, not to mention anything else, he was afraid that the family would be even more chaotic.
Chaos was hard to bear for ordinary families, let alone a century-old family like this. They had many people and many branches. Once chaos broke out, it would be very complicated to sort it out.
Therefore, every time the old master was critically ill, the news would be suppressed and no one would know.
Lin Che was still in shock and didn't know what to do.
Initially, Lin Che didn't know what was going on, but now he understood. Mu Wanqing wanted Lin Che to take over the position of Mistress. They probably heard the news, which was why their gazes were so strange.
At this moment, Gu Jingze came out.
He came to look for Lin Che. When he found out that she was here, he rushed over.
Seeing that Gu Jingze had arrived, everyone finally stopped talking and quickly lowered their heads to do their own things.
Lin Chengche asked Gu Jingze gratefully, "What happened now?"
Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che out and said goodbye to Mu Wanqing. Then, he left the place where women were everywhere.
Gu Jingze had never liked staying in such a place. There were many relatives in the family, so there must be a lot of women. Therefore, Gu Jingze knew that he might as well not come to the backyard.
This time, he came because Lin Che was there.
Walking out with Lin Che, Gu Jingze said, "There's something wrong with the artificial trachea that was put in last time. I'm afraid we'll have to do another operation."
"Ah, will it be serious?"
"After all, I'm old, and the operation is much more dangerous.
Every surgery was like a trip to the gates of hell, and every time, they walked deeper into hell.
Even if the Gu family used the most cutting-edge technology and found the best doctors, they still couldn't avoid the dangers.
Lin Che said, "Then, when is the operation?"
"As soon as possible," Gu Jingze said. "You go back first tonight. I might have to stay here. When the doctor is picked up, we can prepare for the operation."
"Okay, don't worry about me."
She didn't know how to do other things, but she could let him be at ease and do his own things. She could do it.
Gu Jingze came over and kissed her.
For a moment, he felt guilty.
This was the most difficult time for her. Her morning sickness was so serious every day, and she couldn't eat. However, he had to be busy with other things. He couldn't accompany her, comfort her, and take care of her every day. Even if he was there, he couldn't do anything, but he still wanted to be by her side.
Lin Che knew that he had a lot of things to do. She didn't need him to be with her every day. She didn't want to drag him down because of her. After all, he had a lot of responsibilities and wasn't an ordinary man.
She had chosen to marry such a man, so she had to accept his busyness.
Lin Che separated from Gu Jingze. He hadn't talked to Mu Wanqing yet, so he went back to the Gu family.
As soon as he returned home, he saw Dongzi and the others standing by the door.
They had lost weight for a while, but they looked very energetic.
When they saw Lin Che, they walked over together. Before they reached Lin Che, they knelt on the ground.
Lin Che didn't expect them to be so sudden. He stood there and quickly pulled Dongzi, who was at the front. "What are you doing? Get up, get up."
Dongzi raised his head and looked at Lin Che.
"Miss, we've been waiting for you to come back."
Dongzi's eyes were sincere. His gaze was full of determination, which made people excited.
Lin Che smiled and said, "Yes, I've been waiting for you to come back too. You've worked hard these past few days."
After starving for so many days, it must have been hard for them to kneel in the ancestral hall.
"Miss, you asked us to stay this time. We've already said that our lives will belong to you in the future. If you have any orders, we will go through water and tread on fire."
Even Lin Che's heart palpitated when he heard such serious words.
"Alright, there's no need to talk about fate."
"Miss, this is our vow. We will protect you for the rest of our lives and block all dangers for you."
Lin Che looked at their different faces, but they all had the same expression. For a moment, he was touched.
