His blind eyes seemed to have lost the last of their glow. His expression was one of terrible despair.

Tang Shuang felt uneasy. She didn’t understand why Jiang Ye suddenly became like this. What did that person say to him just now?

Tang Shuang carefully pulled Jiang Ye’s other hand. Jiang Ye’s eyes finally moved slowly. He slowly said in a hoarse and sad voice, “Xue’er, Grandpa is gone.”

Tang Shuang’s heart ached.

She had once experienced the pain of her loved ones leaving. She knew exactly how broken and vulnerable Jiang Ye must be now.

She opened her arms and held Jiang Ye, letting him lean gently against her. She held his hand tightly, wanting to give him a little strength.

Jiang Ye slowly tightened his arms around her. His strength was as strong as if she were his lifeline. He could feel the gentleness of Tang Xue’s embrace and her understanding. It gave him an outlet for his pain. At this moment, he showed her his most vulnerable side without any reservation

“Xue’er, I’m fine. I’ll go to Grandpa’s funeral and find out why Grandpa died. I, Jiang Ye, won’t be defeated like this.” Jiang Ye took a deep breath, his blind eyes burning with anger.

Tang Shuang was relieved to see that Jiang Ye had pulled himself together. She was really afraid that Jiang Ye would not be able to recover from this setback. After she relaxed, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She had just held Jiang Ye’s wrist with her hand when she realized that his pulse was calm, gentle, and strong.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Tang Shuang pressed her fingers harder on Jiang Ye’s pulse. Although she had increased her strength, Jiang Ye’s pulse was still beating strongly.

In Chinese medicine, the human eye was closely related to the five organs, but through Jiang Ye’s pulse, she could sense that his five organs were perfectly healthy.

Then why could he not see?

Tang Shuang thought about it carefully. She had heard that Jiang Ye suddenly became blind. There were many cases of sudden blindness, but most of them could be cured. However, the difficulty varied, and it also depended on the doctor’s ability.

If the five organs were healthy, the chances of the eyes recovering would be even higher. However, a detailed treatment plan was needed.

Tang Shuang was excited. She wanted to tell Jiang Ye immediately—You can see again!

However, Tang Shuang could not speak. She frowned anxiously and thought for a moment. She grabbed Jiang Ye’s uninjured hand and shook it vigorously.

Jiang Ye was confused at first. “What’s wrong, Xue’er? Are you hungry?”

Tang Shuang saw that he did not understand what she meant. After some thought, she pulled Jiang Ye’s finger to her lips.

Her soft lips were like sweet cotton candy. Jiang Ye still remembered the wonderful taste of those lips. His heart immediately beat faster. He wanted to retract his fingers, but he couldn’t bear to part with that wonderful touch.

However, Jiang Ye was very smart. Although he was a little flustered, he quickly understood what Tang Shuang meant. “Xue’er, you have something to tell me?”

Tang Shuang nodded vigorously and rubbed her cheek against Jiang Ye’s palm. The smooth and soft feeling was simply indescribable.

Jiang Ye hurriedly retracted his hand and coughed. “I understand. Help me make a call first.”

Tang Shuang took Jiang Ye’s phone and dialed a number. When the call connected, a polite voice sounded. “Hello.”

“Chen Chen, it’s me.” Jiang Ye’s tone was calm and steady. “This is my spare number. It’s not being monitored by Jiang Wei for the time being. Come over immediately. The servants here will go out to buy daily necessities at around ten o’clock. Come in from the back door.”

“Young Master, it’s great that you’re fine!” The man on the other end could no longer maintain his calm. He sounded as if he was trembling. “I’ll rush over now!”

After hanging up, Jiang Ye said to Tang Shuang, “Xue’er, go to the back door and meet Chen Chen. He’s my assistant.”

Tang Shuang had already determined a lot of important information from Jiang Ye’s words.

Firstly, Chen Chen should be someone Jiang Ye trusted very much. He had probably not contacted Chen Chen because he was afraid that Chen Chen would be discovered by Jiang Wei. Secondly, Jiang Wei should be the person who had placed Jiang Ye under house arrest here.

However, what surprised her even more was that Jiang Ye had only lost his sight and was locked up here recently. However, he was actually able to determine the pattern of the servants’ movements through minor details. It could be seen that he had never given up on changing the current situation.

Tang Shuang was excited.

She was even a little proud.

This was the man she loved. No matter how difficult the situation, he would never give up hope. She believed that one day he would return to the position where he belonged and become the proud and dazzling chosen one again.
