But what he wanted to say before is that, regardless of who it is, no one should approach Old Master Jiang first. Who knows who might make a move?
Before it is investigated, everyone is a suspect.
"Itâs great that Doctor Chen is here. Please, quickly take a look at Old Master Jiang. He still hasnât woken up." Jiang Qiuyan said as she moved forward to take the bamboo basket from Chen Baoshenâs hand.
"Yes, yes, hurry and take a look. Doctor Chen has also kept blocking us from going in to see. We donât even know how Boss is doing. But, after Doctor Chen has checked, he must let Doctor Chen explain to us why we, so many people, are not allowed to see Boss."
Fourth Master Jiang and others followed along, at a glance there were as many as seventeen or eighteen people. It was truly a mighty procession.
Earlier, he insisted on not letting Chen Baoshen go in to see Old Master Jiang, so Chen Baoshen already had a bad impression of him. Now, hearing him say this, he felt even more annoyed.
Why?
Of course itâs because the Jiang Family is too chaotic, this reason, he doesnât believe Fourth Master Jiang understands.
Second Master Jiang from the Jiang Family has passed away, Third Master has always been ill, word is that Fourth Master is the most active.
Fifth Master Jiang is silent and taciturn, Jiang Familyâs Laoliu is female, known as Lady Liu, naturally married out, and Lady Liu has married into a reputable family in D State.
There is also a Seventh Master Jiang, who always has a low presence. In fact, heâs almost always present at any occasion, occasionally speaking, but simply doesnât draw much attention.
The last one is also female, Lady Eighth, married to someone in the neighboring city, doesnât come back often.
So Old Master Jiang is the eldest, followed by five younger brothers and two younger sisters.
These siblings further have children and grandchildren, making it a truly vast family.
In Chen Baoshenâs view, for such a large family to continue living together is bound to cause chaos eventually.
Chen Baoshen first stepped back to avoid Jiang Qiuyanâs hand, preventing her from touching the bamboo basket, while giving Fourth Master Jiang a glance and said, "So many people want to see Old Master Jiang, itâll affect him."
"Is that so?" Fourth Master Jiang said, "Then letâs discuss who gets to see our big brother first."
The implication being, they must take a look.
"Absolutely," Seventh Master Jiang echoed.
Ying Qiong glanced at them, "For now, no one should visit, focus on your own tasks, Iâll be with Old Master Jiang."
Fourth Master Jiang disagreed, saying, "Ying Qiong, youâre mistaken. Old Master Jiang isnât only your grandfather, heâs the pillar of our entire family. Weâre all anxious and worried about his health, how can you be the only one watching over him?"
This rendered Ying Qiong speechless.
Chen Baoshen quietly said to her, "Itâs urgent to go in and check on Old Master Jiang."
"Youâre right." Ying Qiong took a deep breath, gathered herself, and said, "Regardless, Iâll go in with Doctor Chen to check on Grandfather. Fourth Master, Seventh Master, you two wait outside for now. Iâll inform you if thereâs anything."
"Then weâll go to the nearby Suxin Pavilion to have some tea and wait for your news." Fourth Master Jiang said as he led the way out of the courtyard.
Ying Qiongâs face slightly darkened.
Suxin Pavilion is just next door to Old Master Jiangâs courtyard, theyâre not going back, evidently insisting on awaiting to see Old Master Jiang personally.
"Uncle, madam." Chen Yiping emerged from Old Master Jiangâs room, slightly excited, "Quickly come in and take a look at Old Master Jiang."
Chen Baoshen and Ying Qiong promptly entered the room.
Jiang Qiuyan observed for a moment and kept her place at the door.
