After the breakup, the abstinent president got married and had three babies

As he spoke, the housekeeper took out some medicine from his pocket and handed it to Mu Shen, and continued, "Look, these are the medicines that the master usually takes."

"Furthermore, ever since the old lady passed away and the eldest young master ran away from home, the master has been suffering from severe insomnia due to excessive grief and sorrow. His liver function has also been greatly affected. Sometimes he even coughs up blood!"

"Although the master seems to be in good spirits on a daily basis, that's only because he's been carefully cared for. But in reality, his body is already riddled with wounds and scars!"

At this point, the butler's eyes welled up and his voice choked up a little. It was obvious that he truly felt sorry for the master.

"Please show the master how to treat him!" The butler looked at Mu Shen with a worried look on his face, his eyes full of pleading.

"Now, even the medicine used to treat the master's illness has been discontinued!"

Mu Shen was shocked when he heard this and turned to look at Old Man Xia in disbelief. He saw that Old Man Xia had an indifferent expression and seemed unwilling to say more.

Seeing this, how could Mu Shen not understand the reason?

"Grandpa Xia, let me help you take a look. Maybe there is a way to cure it." Mu Shen hurriedly stepped forward and said to Grandpa Xia with concern.

However, Old Master Xia waved his hand and refused, "No need. I no longer want to live in disgrace. If I hadn't wanted to avenge Rou'er and protect Lin'er, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived until today."

"Now that Lin'er has you good kids taking care of him, I can finally rest assured and go to the underground to reunite with my wife."

Mu Shen felt a pang of sadness when he heard what Old Man Xia said.

He knew very well that the reason why Mr. Xia was so pessimistic and desperate was largely because he blamed himself for the unfortunate death of Grandma Xia.

Indeed, this incident was inextricably linked to him. If he had not accepted the ill-intentioned mother and son back home, perhaps such a tragedy would not have occurred today.

"I've heard Ruo'an and Leng Zexi mention that Grandpa Xia, you actually had the key evidence that Xia Jiye and his mother murdered Grandma Xia a long time ago, but you kept it secret and never made it public, right?"

Mu Shen asked cautiously, staring at Old Man Xia, trying to catch a clue from the changes in his expression.

"You know very well that what happened back then was not accidental, but why didn't you report them? You obviously have no good feelings towards them, and there is no blood relationship between you. Are you going to just watch those villains continue to go unpunished?" Mu Shen really couldn't understand this.

After all, judging from their daily interactions, Mr. Xia obviously dotes on his wife.

However, what is puzzling is that he could tolerate the murderer of his beloved wife to be at large for more than 20 years and even treated him with favor.

"It was Leng Zexi who told you this, right?" Old Master Xia turned his gaze to Mu Shen and asked.

Mu Shen nodded and replied, "He told me part of the situation and mentioned that Lin Cai is helping to find relevant evidence. He thinks you might have some clues."

Hearing this, Old Master Xia lowered his head slightly and sighed softly, "If that's the case, then tell Lin Cai not to waste his energy any further. The key evidence from that year is now in my hands, and the rest has long been completely destroyed."

After a moment's silence, Old Master Xia raised his head, his eyes fixed on the distance with determination and deep thought, and he slowly said, "However, it won't be long. In five days at most, all the truth will come to light. I have endured this matter for far too long..."

Mu Shen stepped forward and said with concern, "Grandpa Xia, if that's the case, you should take good care of yourself now! The dead are gone, so you should also think more about your relatives who are still around."

"After Grandma Xia's accident, my father resolutely left here and has deeply resented you ever since."

"So many years have passed, and you haven't made any compensation to him, and he has never forgiven you! Can you really bear not to see Ruoan's children grow up healthy and happy?" Mu Shen asked in a deep voice.

Then he continued, "I heard from Lin Cai that your study is filled with Ruoan's photo albums from childhood to adulthood."

"Don't you want to treat those three adorable little ones like you did to Ruoan back then, raising them well and accompanying them as they grow up?"

At this point, Mu Shen's tone became increasingly heavy. "Father has already lost Mother. If Father also loses you, his beloved relative, how will he face the long road ahead? Do you want him to regret it again?"

After saying this, Mu Shen looked at Grandpa Xia affectionately.

When Mr. Xia heard this, he couldn't help but look up and his eyes met Mu Shen's.

After a moment's silence, he slowly shook his head and sighed, "In the end, it's me as a father who feels guilty towards him... And I know my condition well, and I'm afraid it's difficult to cure."

However, Mu Shen had no intention of giving up. He looked at Old Man Xia with a determined face and said, "Those are just casual remarks made by others. I don't think so."

"Let me go with you to the hospital tomorrow for another comprehensive physical examination. We'll make a conclusion after the results come out."

Perhaps moved by Mu Shen's sincere and persistent attitude, Old Man Xia stared at his concerned face for a long time, and finally nodded slightly to show his agreement.

At this moment, without any warning, Mr. Xia suddenly started coughing violently again. His face turned red and his body trembled involuntarily.

He quickly took out a snow-white handkerchief from his arms and covered his mouth tightly with it.

Following a burst of heart-wrenching coughs, the originally snow-white handkerchief was instantly dyed a shocking red.

Seeing this, the housekeeper beside him hurriedly took the medicine from Mu Shen's hand, opened the bottle cap in a hurry, poured out a few pills and handed them to Mr. Xia.

At this time, Mr. Xia was coughing violently and his body was trembling slightly.

After he calmed down a little, Mu Shen quickly brought the cup of water to his mouth and said softly, "Grandpa Xia, drink some water to moisten your throat first."

Old Master Xia took the cup and took a small sip before Mu Shen handed him the pill.

Watching Old Man Xia take the medicine, Mu Shen thought to himself: I used to think Ruoan's worries were a bit excessive, but now look at the situation.

If I hadn't come to visit him today, I'm afraid the old man would have missed the chance to get treatment! Thinking of this, Mu Shen couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Let's go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up first." Mu Shen said to Grandpa Xia with a serious face.

Hearing this, the butler on the side immediately looked delighted and responded excitedly: "Okay, I'll arrange a car right away!" He was so happy to see that the master was finally willing to accept treatment.

However, at this moment, Old Master Xia suddenly said, "Don't tell anyone else about this for now, so as not to make them worry."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Mu Shen, his eyes revealing a hint of determination.

Mu Shen understood the old man's concerns, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I won't tell anyone. But you have to promise me that you will go to the hospital and get checked out first."

After saying that, Mu Shen reached out to support Old Man Xia, preparing to help him get up and go out.

At the same time, Mu Shen was worried that everyone at home would be worried because he had not returned home for a long time, so he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his mother Zhong Yanyan, telling her that there was an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with in the hospital and he would not be home for dinner tonight, and asked everyone not to wait.

Since Lin Cai went directly to the Ou family and did not return to the Xia family, he naturally had no idea that the old man was going to the hospital.

When everyone was sitting around the table preparing to eat, Xia Lin suddenly said, "Mu Shen has something to do. He won't be back for dinner today!"

When Lin Cai heard this, a vague feeling of worry welled up in his heart.

You know, my brother will officially start his job next week. Normally, it is impossible for him to go to the hospital to work so early!

What kind of important matter could make him forget about eating?

Zhong Yanyan frowned and muttered to herself, "Didn't we agree to go check up on the old man? Why was he called to the hospital so suddenly? I don't know if he'll have time to eat. It really makes me worried... Never mind, these shrimp are quite fresh and delicious. I'll save some for him. When he comes back later, it'll be perfect for a midnight snack."

As she spoke, she carefully picked out a few large shrimps, put them in a bowl and set it aside.

At this moment, Lin Cai, who was also worried, couldn't help but ask, "Did he go to see Grandpa Xia?"

Zhong Yanyan nodded gently and replied, "Yes, if Ruoan says he's worried, let him go over and take a look."

After hearing this, Lin Cai became more and more uneasy, thinking to himself: Could it be that Ruoan noticed something unusual?

On the other hand, Mu Shen knew very well that Lin Cai lived with Grandpa Xia, and it was difficult to keep this matter secret for long, so he simply stopped hiding it and told Lin Cai the details directly, and repeatedly told him not to reveal a word to other family members.

After hearing this, Lin Cai's expression became serious. He silently put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, there's something urgent at the company that I need to deal with. I won't be home for dinner. I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry, leaving everyone in the room looking at his receding back, their hearts full of confusion and worry.

Ouyang Jin did not miss the worry in his third brother's eyes. Company matters?
