Xie Zhaozhao asked in surprise, "Why did he smash up the Sun family mansion? Was it because of the Third Miss?"

“Miss Gu and Miss Gu have been found. Do you know where they are?” Zhang Yanyan said softly. “They were found in a secret passage. I heard that Sun Kehai sold them because he owed gambling debts.”

Xie Zhaozhao said listlessly, "Perhaps because I'm sick, no one in the manor has told me about these things."

Zhang Yanyan immediately said, "I was just mentioning it casually, don't take it to heart. Everyone has their own destiny, and no one else can control it."

Liu Yiyi was the most straightforward: "You absolutely must not get involved in this mess. Even if they come to you for help, don't help them find husbands. Otherwise, you'll be the one getting scolded later."

Xie Zhaozhao naturally wouldn't take on this mess, as she already had a grudge against Gu Jiaojiao.

Besides, why would she help someone who has ruined the reputation of the sisters in the mansion?

Zhang Yanyan and Liu Yiyi were afraid of tiring her out, so they left after sitting for a while.

Gu Shaoyu quickly removed the cushion behind her and helped her lie down, saying, "I've instructed the outer courtyard to persuade all visitors to leave."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded: "I will thank everyone together when I recover."

They say the women of the inner court don't interfere in court affairs, how is that possible?

Which of the families of court officials would visit a patient who is not related to them?

In the afternoon, Gu Shaoyu asked Aunt Cui to stew the stone frog that Xie Xiangxiang had brought for her, as it was excellent for clearing heat and detoxifying.

As usual, Manman helped Xie Zhaozhao rinse her mouth, drink her after-dinner tea, and then she went to sleep.

He seemed a bit more energetic during the day, and I thought he was getting better, but then in the middle of the night he had a splitting headache, became delirious, and started talking nonsense.
