Upon hearing this, Butler Wang's expression changed instantly, but he managed to maintain his composure. "Master, what are you saying, this old servant..."

Old Jiang sneered, "Do you think I would question you without evidence?"

Upon hearing this, Butler Wang understood and quickly lowered his head. "Master, this old servant still doesn't understand. Please explain."

Apart from keeping the matter of the Fifth Miss a secret from the old man, he never concealed anything else.

Even if the old man knows something, he needs to figure out which aspect of the old man the old man knows before he can consider what to tell the old man.

"When did Huanhuan recover?" Old Jiang asked, his tone cold and stern.

After all, Butler Wang has been by his side for so many years, he can't be so blind to Butler Wang's character.

The fact that Butler Wang would help Huanhuan cover it up must have been Huanhuan's idea.

"Old Master, you..." Butler Wang looked up in surprise, then pursed his lips, stammering, wanting to say something but not daring to.

Upon seeing this, Old Jiang said, "Huanhuan is my own granddaughter. I would never hurt her. What are you hiding?"

After a brief moment of thought, Butler Wang agreed and said, "The Fifth Miss forbade this old servant from telling you about this. In fact, the Fifth Miss was lucid the day before the funeral."

Upon hearing this, Old Jiang frowned. "You mean, Huanhuan woke up while she was in the hospital?"

“That’s right.” Butler Wang nodded. “Miss Huanhuan has not only recovered, but has also acquired many skills, though this old servant is not sure of the specifics.”

Even with that martial arts skill and advanced computer technology, this is no longer just a simple matter of restoration.

"So Huanhuan has been pretending all this time?"

"Yes."

"Why? Why won't she even tell me, her closest grandfather?" Old Jiang suddenly became saddened. "Is she worried that I can't protect her, so she doesn't want to tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Butler Wang was alarmed and quickly reassured him, "Master, you mustn't think such things! Fifth Miss would never have such intentions! She didn't let you know because she didn't want you to worry so much. Right now, Fifth Miss is protecting the Jiang family in her own way. She didn't reveal her recovery because she was worried that the Jiang family would be surrounded by enemies, and she wouldn't be able to handle it, which would only cause you more trouble..."

Indeed, once outsiders find out that Jiang Huan has regained consciousness, the person behind it will only intensify their attacks on the Jiang family.

Compared to the other masters and young masters back then, the Fifth Miss's talent was something that the entire Kyushu envied, was jealous of, and even that some people wanted to destroy.

If they are truly being targeted, given the current capabilities of the Fifth Miss and the Jiang family, it would be difficult for them to deal with the person behind it.

After all, the person behind this could push the Jiang family, even at its peak, into the abyss, causing all the young men of the Jiang family to perish and meet a tragic end. Such methods are not something that ordinary people can do.

The Fifth Miss must hide in the shadows and conserve her strength!

This is the main reason why he would risk deceiving the old man to help the fifth young lady conceal the truth.

"Ugh."

Old Jiang wasn't someone who knew nothing; of course he knew why his granddaughter had done this.

He felt bad for her having to bear it all alone!

She's just a young girl who's just come of age. She should grow up healthy under their protection and live the life she wants.

But now, all the burdens are on her shoulders, and her health is deteriorating day by day...

"Don't be sad, sir. I believe that Miss Wu has her own plans. Miss Wu has grown up now. What we need to do is trust her and help her as much as we can," Butler Wang continued to comfort her.

It was precisely because he knew the old man's character well, and had been by his side for so many years, that he dared to speak to the old man like that.

"I understand. You can go out now. Don't tell Huanhuan about our conversation. Go on, I'll rest for a while." Old Jiang lay back on the bed and closed his heavy eyes.

Seeing this, Butler Wang replied "Yes" and left the room.

Old Jiang opened his eyes, staring blankly at the chandelier in the room.

Huanhuan, Grandpa knows you're no worse than your uncles, father, and brothers, but you must take good care of yourself!

……

at this time.

Jiang Huan and Qian Rui met.

"Huanhuan, Grandpa An has prepared everything you need. It's all in the boxes. Where do you want to move it?"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Huan gestured for Xiang Nan to move the box into her room, and then pulled Qian Rui to the swing in the garden.

After sitting down, Jiang Huan said, "Qian Rui, I really have to thank you this time."

At that time, she sent a message to Qian Rui, asking Qian Rui to personally go to see Grandpa An and ask him to help her find the medicinal materials she needed.

"There's no need for thanks between us. I did it all voluntarily," Qian Rui said with a smile.

Thinking about the illegitimate child in the An family, Jiang Huan asked, "What was the atmosphere like at the An family when you went to see Old Master An?"

"Why do you ask that?" Qian Rui asked, puzzled.

Jiang Huan frowned. "That's a long story... I'd like to know, is the An family shrouded in grief? Or rather, have you seen any members of the An family other than Old Master An?"

She was certain that the illegitimate son of the An family had died at her hands.

But after all, he was Grandpa An's grandson, and it's impossible for Grandpa An to say he had no feelings for him at all.

Qian Rui thought for a long time before saying, "I saw Young Master An and Miss An. They didn't seem to have any strange expressions on their faces. However, when I was waiting for Old Master An to meet me, I heard the servants say that Madam An was crying her eyes out and hadn't come out of her room... Oh right, there's another thing. I heard that the second young master of the An family has been missing for several days, but the servants didn't take it seriously. This second young master of the An family used to go out and fool around with his friends, and he wouldn't come home for days and nights, so he wasn't very popular."

After listening, Jiang Huan lowered her eyes and remained silent.

It seems that Madam An must know that the Second Young Master An is dead, but because Old Master An is keeping it from being revealed, she can only cry in private.

Otherwise, she couldn't understand why Madam An, who had no worries about food and clothing, would cry.

Mrs. An is Mr. An's favorite first love, that's true, but compared to love, Mr. An pursues money and power, and he also pays great attention to the cultivation of his bloodline.

Therefore, Madam An was able to live a life of luxury in the An family simply because she was Mr. An's favorite, and none of Madam An's children were worthy of Mr. An's attention.

Even if President An finds out, he probably won't care after weighing the pros and cons.

Seeing that Jiang Huan hadn't spoken for so long, Qian Rui leaned closer and asked with a mysterious yet gossipy smile, "By the way, Huanhuan, how are you planning to appear at the charity gala tonight? Is your young master Ling going with you?"
