Seeing that I had already said this much, Lu Kui didn't want to refuse anymore, so he could only agree and wait for her mother to come in and pass on the message.

After being busy during the day, I naturally slept soundly at night. I felt that I had fallen asleep almost as soon as I touched the pillow. It wasn't until I heard the noisy sound of a maidservant wake me up that I barely opened my eyes.

After a long time, my vision finally turned blurry. I rubbed my eyes and asked in a sleepy voice, "What's wrong?"

Even if I was blind, I could see that it was dark all around me.

If something hadn't happened, the maidservants wouldn't have woken me up so early.

"Miss, it's bad!" Now that the green bandit had moved the light over, I saw that her face was ashen and worried.

I immediately thought of my mother, who had found a dead woman in the yard today.

I sat up in bed and broke out in a cold sweat. "What happened?" I asked as I held onto Green Cock's hand.

"Lotus Fragrance's grandma is gone. She was brought home yesterday, but there was no news. However, Old Granny's side was brightly lit just now. Thus, Mother Du brought two maidservants out. "

It was the informant I had planted in my grandmother's yard.

"What time is it now?"

"A quarter past five."

At this hour, Mother Du would actually go out. It was probably because of something wrong with her or her grandmother's body that they opened the door in the middle of the night to look for a doctor.

Since I've already gone to find a doctor, I might as well go there a moment earlier. Grandmother is a strong person, and the person living over there is my father's aunt. No matter which one of them is uncomfortable, according to the circumstances I rushed over to see it, it would make people unhappy. Who would want to see others with their messy hair and dirty face?

"Serve me well!" I sighed and lifted my quilt from the bed.

Lan Chu had prepared hot water and was waiting outside. When she saw me get up, she hurriedly brought her maidservant to wash my hands and wash my face, then helped me into the screen to change my clothes.

I covered my mouth with my hand and gave a small yawn as I put the thong on my body.

"This kind of life will end sooner or later!" Lan Li tied the straps under my arms while she complained in a low voice, "Seeing those who are on tenterhooks in the sky, I can't even let them sleep well!"

Thinking about those gifts that were accepted by Miss Xue after they were delivered to the Xue Manor, I couldn't help but smile. I'm afraid that this kind of life won't last for long!

As expected, it was just as Lu Qu had said. There were lights on everywhere, but there weren't any servants coming and going. When the maid standing by the door saw me, she hurriedly called out, "Miss, you're here!"

There was no one on Aunt Chen's bed outside, no one in the room to attend to her. My heart sank. It seemed that the one in trouble was my grandmother.

"Hurry up!" I hastened my steps back to the pavilion.

Sure enough, the warm room was filled with people, a big bellied woman in green clothes was kneeling in front of the bed, covering her face with her hands, Hong Chang was not in the room either, all the second class maids and young maids were standing guard by the bed, the few mothers that Grandmother brought along were standing far away, they saw me walking in and out, taking small steps, afraid that I would cause trouble for myself.

Why did Grandmother's house seem so strict and messy when she was in trouble?

"Hurry up and help me up!" I scolded the maidservants inside in a low voice. I pointed to the mama outside and asked, "They are young and don't have any experience. You don't have any experience with them either?" If Grandmother didn't keep all of you for your own use at this time, instead of making you look like a girl, you might as well keep it for yourselves. If I have any of you, we can just wait for Grandmother to wake up and return the favor, and see if we lose the face of an unmarried lady like you or give up the face of your entire three or four lifetimes! "

The moms were a bit flustered when they saw my anger, but when they heard me talking about morals in such detail, they became even more flustered. They hurriedly kneeled down and begged for mercy, "My lady, you knew about us, we haven't slacked off at all. We've only been with the old lady for a lifetime. However, we were originally just strolling in the outer court. The items in the Old Ancestor's house are expensive, so we were careless and were afraid of bumping into them. That's why we are waiting for the ladies to assign us some tasks! "

"You guys don't need to use nice words to coax me, I still don't know about you!" I smiled coldly at the other mothers. "Look at that, Aunt is a simple and delicate woman with a big belly. Grandmother has been feeling a bit uncomfortable these past few days. I can't get rid of my face as a young lady, so I started to act even more domineering! "You guys are pretending to be obedient in front of me, and then go out again later to fill your mouths with nonsense!"

After hearing my words, all the other mothers hurriedly lowered their heads and said, "We don't dare!"

"It's good that you know you don't dare. I don't want any of you to say anything about this house." I slowly swept my eyes over all of their mothers. "If I hear one word, I'll …"

"Miss, don't worry!" We will never go out and spout nonsense! " The one in the lead was Grandmother Lin from the kitchen. She had always been a person who worshipped and loved people.

"Then why aren't you going out to work?" I mimicked my grandmother and raised my eyebrows. As expected, my expression was exceptionally solemn. The mothers were all eager to submit, so they quietly left the room.

After sending off the glib mama, I walked past the maids and approached Aunt Chen. Seeing her struggling to sit on the small Wooden Pellet with her stomach puffed out, I couldn't help but let out a sigh. I ordered the person from the Zhou family, who was serving by her side, "This isn't an issue that can be solved with many people. Carry Aunt back and rest! If Aunt was also ill, I really wouldn't be able to take care of it! In a while, Mother Du will bring her husband over. It will be inconvenient for all of you to see it, so go up and block it with a screen! "

"It would be better to put down the outer room's canopy. Aunt often sweats at night, and that screen is too stuffy!" Zhou Bai Mu's family members knelt down in salute.

"I'll do as you say!" I nodded to her and ordered the maidservants in the room, "The serving aunts should leave as well! There's no need for so many people here! "

The more people breathed, the dirtier the air in the room became. In addition, the Warm Pavilion was located in the innermost area of the room. There wasn't even a trace of wind, making it seem even more stuffy and stuffy. The last time grandma fainted, it was because she was extremely angry. This time, it was probably because of the days of fatigue and anxiety that made the old man's body weaken a bit.

He lifted the curtain and looked at his grandmother who was lying on her back. Although there was no trace of blood on her face, her expression was very serene.

"Open the window diagonally across the way!" I pointed to the window at the corner of the screen behind Grandmother's bed. "This room is too stuffy!" He pointed at the smoke stove that was still smoking and said, "Extinguish this too!"

A young maid wearing a red muslin armor answered the call and carefully opened the latch to support the window.

"Where's Miss Hong Chang?" I tucked my grandmother's bedclothes into the silver hook that hung over the bed.

"Elder sister has not seen mother Du for a long time. She went to welcome mother!" The maid in red answered me with a straight face.

This girl was really something! He usually seemed to be quite smart, but why did he panic at such a critical moment! It was impossible to send anyone to do such a thing, but he could only run over and actually entrust his grandmother to Aunt Chen without a worry!

"What's your name?" I wiped my grandmother's face with warm water and asked her questions.

"Your servant's name is Lotus!" The young maid still had a very serious look on her face.

Looking at her young adult appearance, I couldn't help but smile. Although she isn't that old, she does have quite a bit of airs on her shoulders!

Just as he was about to tease her a few more times, the faint sound of footsteps came from outside. The curtain at the door opened and a small head peeped in as the child spoke, "Miss, Sister Zhou asked me to tell you that Mother Du and Mr. Huang are here!"

The Zhou family's sister-in-law belonged to the Zhou family. She had been a dependable person ever since she was a servant girl. Now that she was married, she had become more experienced in matters.

"I got it!" Giving the handkerchief in my hand to Lotus, I turned around and led the Orchid Fragrance into the back of the screen.

With Mother Du in front and Hong Chang in the back, with Huang Lang in the middle, the three of them hurriedly entered the house. Huang Lang took a look at his pulse, and then opened the tent to look at his face, and asked straightforwardly: "Did the Old Ancestor suffer some sort of shock?"

"You should know that my master's Little Xing's stomach is a little unstable today. It just so happens that his wife is unwell and has fallen down. Our family's old mistress can only take care of him herself." This grandmother dotes on Sun Gelou's relatives, and our son is a little thin, so the madame takes extra care of Aunt Chen. She can't help but wake up a few times every night to check on her sleepless nights. When I woke up tonight, the old lady said that she was seeing things. Just as she reached the door, she tripped over the threshold and then … and then he fainted, unconscious! "

So this was how Grandmother fainted!

She would get up several times every night to take a look. It seemed that even though her grandmother didn't say anything, she was still very concerned and looked forward to seeing this child.

Sometimes, it was just a show of concern that he didn't say it out loud; the lack of special attention was often meant for better protection.

"The Yang Family's ancestor is suffering from phlegm and confusion, it's okay!" Mr. Huang squatted with his head down and rummaged in his suitcase, not knowing what to find.

"Then please follow me to write the prescription, sir!" Mother Du smiled and asked Huang Lang to follow her into the hall.

"Huh?" Huang Lang raised his head doubtfully, "The Old Ancestor's illness does not need any medicine, just acupuncture is enough!"

I don't understand the pulse, but after five acupuncture points, Grandmother gradually woke up. Mother Du quickly expressed her thanks to Huang Gongzhong, "Sir, you are indeed brilliant!"

As if he was frightened by his mother's words, Huang Lang shook his hand repeatedly with a flushed face: "No, no!" My medical skills are very shallow! It's just that the Old Ancestor should rest in peace and quiet in the future. Do not get angry, and do not overwork himself in order to avoid recurrence of this disease! "

Even though it sounded simple, it was even harder than ascending to heaven! In this world, one's desires are always inferior, so who can be neither angry nor hardworking? It was just an empty phrase, a vision!

Mother Du smiled and nodded, sending Huang Lang out the door. Seeing that her grandmother was about to stand up, Hong Chang went forward to help her up.

Ah!

Suddenly, Hong Chang's surprised voice came out.

Being blocked by the bent down Hong Chang, I can't see the exact situation.

"Blood... Blood! "

After walking out from the screen in quick steps, I pushed the rest of the maidservants away and anxiously asked, "What's going on?"

Grandma who was dressed in a snow-white undergarment leaning on the headboard of the bed had a tinge of blood on her lips, while Hong Chang, who was holding a handkerchief stained with blood, could not help but cry out.

Grandmother actually vomited blood!

At this moment, the sound of sobbing was exceptionally ear-piercing.

Crying! He only knew how to cry! What have you been doing?

"Go and call Mr. Huang back!" Even I felt that my tone was a little too harsh.

My grandmother, who had been leaning against the bedpost with her eyes closed, tried to stop me. She coughed several times before she could open her mouth.

I immediately helped ease Grandmother's anger and helped her to calm down. "Rest in peace. Even if you have to come back, it doesn't matter. Just take it as a peace of mind that you have to give me more money."

Grandmother just closed her eyes and opened them again, eagerly looking at me pointing outwards, but unable to say a word.

I pursed my lips into a smile and ordered the servant girl to bring a cup of warm water. I took the robe that was hung on the bedside and put it on Grandmother's shoulders. With a big stomach, Aunt wouldn't be able to help. I let the maidservants attend to her and go back to rest. If you don't trust me, I'll go take a look! "

Grandmother's face relaxed a little, and she patted my hand with half-closed eyes.

Had Grandmother still been thinking about this child because she had lost all hope of her son and daughter-in-law, and wanted to start all over again from the grandson? Grandmother had high hopes for this child who was not born yet. What would happen if she was born a girl? Even if I were a boy, what if I didn't have enough upbringing?

I took the cup of warm water from Lotus and placed it on the headboard of my grandmother's bed. I gave a look to the maidservants in the room, hinting them to take care of my grandmother, and left the pavilion.

"Miss, is the old lady alright?" When I walked out of the warm pavilion, I saw Aunt Chen being supported by Zhou Baili Mu as she tottered and tottered around the room. When she saw me coming out of the pavilion, she hurriedly greeted me with tears in her eyes and tugged on my sleeve as she asked, "Are you alright, old lady?"

A light flashed by the window, and Mother Du greeted Huang Lang in a respectful tone.

I made a silent gesture towards Aunt Chen, then gave her a warning look before helping her sit down in the inner room.

"Tell Mother Du that you have to speak to me after Huang Luoran has seen Grandmother!"

The green bandit hurriedly complied and waited outside after leaving his tent.
