"It's Auntie! What can you do if you can't stand it? So many years have passed, does Auntie still care about these few years? Auntie doesn't have many years left to live. I only hope that I can see you, Yan'er, get married in style before I die. And you must not say such things again."
Sang Yan's brows furrowed even more: "Mother, why won't you leave? You clearly don't want to..."
"Shut up!" Third Aunt interrupted her sharply, "You're not allowed to say such things again!"
As she spoke, she pushed Sang Yan's hand away and began to cough violently.
Seeing that she was really angry, Sang Yan obediently shut her mouth: "Mother, don't be angry. Yan'er won't say it again."
Only after receiving her assurance did the third aunt take her hand again: "Yan'er, I'm not blaming you, but you must remember that there are some things that can be said and some things that must never be said. You are all I have now, and I can't lose you, do you understand?"
"Okay." Sang Yan nodded. "Yan'er understands."

Xiao Hui had run away hastily when Yang Liu was beaten by the First Madam, but she was caught by the First Madam's men. She knelt down and looked at the First Madam, trembling all over.
The First Madam looked at her and sneered, "Where are you in such a hurry to go? To complain to the Master?"
Xiao Hui quickly shook her head: "This servant wouldn't dare."
"I wouldn't dare! I think you're quite bold!" The First Madam said at the table, "Guards, take her away and lock her up with Madam Yang. No one is allowed to approach them without my order."
"Yes." Two maids came over and pulled Xiao Hui out, one on each side.
Just then, the doctor arrived. He looked at the seated Madam and bowed to her, saying, "Greetings, Madam."
The First Madam's expression softened when she saw the doctor: "The doctor has arrived, please come in quickly."
As she spoke, she led the person into the inner room.
The doctor looked at Sang Yan lying on the bed, took a few steps forward to take her pulse, and after a long while he got up with a smile: "Congratulations, Madam, this is a pregnancy pulse."
"A pregnancy test?" Sang Rui's eyes lit up immediately.
Is she pregnant?
"That's wonderful!" She looked up at the First Madam and saw that she also had a happy expression on her face.
The doctor said, "Yes, but the pregnancy is still in its early stages, so we need to be extra careful. Madam has a tendency to feel cold, so she needs to keep warm. I will write a prescription for her later, and she can just follow the prescription to decoct the medicine."
The First Madam nodded: "Alright, Cuiping, take the doctor down to prepare."
Cuiping nodded and turned to leave with the doctor, not forgetting to slip the doctor a good amount of silver before she left.
The doctor was overjoyed to receive the silver: "Thank you, young lady."
Cuiping looked at the doctor and said with a smile, "My young lady only had a simple cold today, and she has recovered well after you prescribed a few doses of medicine."
The doctor was a shrewd man, and having seen many of the intricate details of this mansion over the years, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady."
"Yes." Cuiping nodded with a smile. "Please, doctor."
"Okay." The doctor followed Cuiping out.
The First Madam walked over to Sang Rui's side and pulled the blanket up for her: "Rui'er, you've had a hard time."
If the fact that Sang Rui was pregnant out of wedlock were to become known, she would never have another chance to become Long Tianyi's heir apparent. Therefore, even though she was already pregnant, she had to keep it a secret.
Sang Rui smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, Mother, Rui'er understands, don't worry..."
