Of course, the commander-in-chief hoped that I could live in peace. After all, the fate of the Shangguan family was directly linked to me in the future. He was frightened by the fake death this time.
However, after waking up, my conversation with Elder Guan also made his eyes light up. He was also a little surprised. When we met before, I didn't mention that I wanted to treat him. Was I deliberately hiding it?
So, he had some opinions, including my sincerity towards the Shangguan family. It was understandable that the commander-in-chief was easily suspicious when Shangguan Jie had just died.
"By the way, Liu Jie, Li Chunmei, right?" The commander-in-chief suddenly said.
"Ah, yes, yes." The two women were shocked and nodded quickly.
"Both of you, come out for a while," the commander-in-chief said softly. Then, he walked out of the ward.
The two women were a little perturbed and looked at me. In fact, I was also quite puzzled as to why the commander-in-chief called them, but I still nodded and motioned for them to go.
Soon, the two women followed. They didn't expect to be called out by the commander-in-chief personally. It didn't seem to be a good thing.
It was the same as being called out by the teacher when you made a mistake in school. The two women lowered their heads and looked anxious.
"You don't have to be so nervous."
The commander-in-chief showed a kind smile. He paused and said, "In the future, Wan 'er may have to live under the same roof with you. She is young and not very sensible. If there is anything she doesn't do well, I hope you can forgive her."
Hearing the commander-in-chief's slightly pleading tone, they were flattered. Even if Liu Jie was a rich girl, she had never met a person of such high status like the commander-in-chief, let alone sister-in-law. She instantly felt that she had reached the peak of her life.
"No, no, no, commander-in-chief. Wan 'er is a very good person. Although she is young, she is very mature in all aspects. She has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. It's a blessing that we can get along with her."
Sister-in-law's words were from the bottom of her heart. She didn't flatter him. As a citizen of Yuncheng, she had a long-standing respect for the commander-in-chief. Before the commander-in-chief didn't speak, they just greeted him symbolically and didn't dare to take the initiative to talk to him.
"Yes, Little Sister Wan 'er is obedient, sensible, and kind-hearted. We are very happy to be able to get along with her." Liu Jie echoed.
Hearing the two women's solemn attitude, the commander-in-chief let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps even if he didn't say these words, the two women would still respect Wan'er. However, the nature of their relationship was different. He was absolutely remarkable when it came to dealing with people. Just a few words had the effect of roping them in. In the future, Liu Jie and her sister-in-law would treat Wan'er like a living treasure.
"Don't say that. No one is perfect. Even I am the same. If Wan 'er has done anything wrong, you can point it out. After all, she has a long life ahead of her. You can't blindly accommodate her."
The commander-in-chief said with a smile. His show of kindness and power was just right. The two women didn't dare to criticize Wan'er before.
For example, Wan'er wanted to pour water for them and peel an apple to eat. The two women didn't dare to accept such treatment. Although it wasn't exactly serving, if the commander-in-chief saw it, it would inevitably cause a misunderstanding. Moreover, Wan'er had been raised as a vase since she was young. She had never done any housework. Liu Jie was almost the same. She lacked the ability to take care of others. In these aspects, sister-in-law took care of them. She wasn't a fussy woman and was willing to work hard without complaint.
After all, the fact that these two sisters could accept her was the best recognition!
You know, sister-in-law didn't dare to think of this before.
Back then, after she told me her secret, she was prepared for the worst. If I blamed her, she would go back and abort the child. Then, she wouldn't have any more thoughts. However, I didn't do that. I took good care of her and tried my best to protect her from the wind and rain.
Sister-In-Law was extremely touched. She decided to be my secret lover for the rest of her life. Even if it was just physical satisfaction, she wouldn't regret it.
In the end, reality proved that I didn't treat her that way. From being a secret lover that couldn't be shown in public to being Wan'er's parents, she could face them calmly. You have to know that this wasn't just a small matter!
What was even more surprising was that she received praise. Perhaps her previous efforts were a kind of obligation, but now, it was from the bottom of her heart. I have to say, the commander-in-chief's way of treating people was really good.
"Yes, yes, commander-in-chief. Don't worry, we won't spoil her." Sister-In-Law nodded.
"I believe that the two of you can get along well. Oh right, you two must be tired from taking care of each other for the past two days. Tonight, go to a nearby hotel and sleep more comfortably. I'll arrange a room later. Anyway, the brat has already woken up. The doctor also said that he's fine. Wan'er will be fine here," the commander-in-chief said with concern.
The two women were stunned. Although they couldn't bear to leave me, since the commander-in-chief had spoken, they naturally couldn't reject him.
The commander-in-chief's intention was to let Little Cherry interact with me alone. Compared to them, who had always been accompanying me, Little Cherry had suffered the pain of parting. Ever since she had been brought home by Shang Guanjie, she hadn't been able to eat or drink. Even though she had seen me a few times, it was always superficial and she couldn't stop missing me.
"No problem. We will listen to the commander-in-chief," Sister-In-Law agreed readily.
Afterwards, they returned to the ward. At that moment, I was discussing some academic problems with Elder Guan. After obtaining the Medicine King's inheritance, I had always been researching and exploring on my own. Although I had benefited a lot from it, I lacked a summary of my experiences. It was different now. With Elder Guan here, he was able to solve this problem. I could learn from his strong points to make up for my weak points.
At the same time, I could also help Elder Guan. He had a lot of things that were in a perfected stage, but he was still stuck in his own ways. As long as he could get rid of one of his shackles, he would be able to have new gains. What he needed was to change his way of thinking. The two of us also discussed the doubts that Elder Guan had raised.
Every time he heard my academic discussion, Elder Guan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. It had been so many years since he had been so excited. He really couldn't understand why I could answer some of the more obscure things so fluently. Without decades of accumulation, it was almost impossible to do so. He really didn't dare to think about it. Not only did I have attainments in acupuncture, my professional knowledge wasn't inferior to mine either.
