Upon returning to the manor, Chen Ziye learned from the servants that Old Madam Chen had fallen ill.
After a busy day, I was starving.
But as soon as he heard that his mother had fallen ill, he disregarded everything else and rushed to Old Madam Chen's courtyard.
At the same time, Chen Xianming and Chen Zirong's carriage stopped outside the gate of the Marquis of Lin'an's residence.
Hearing the sound of the axle turning, Chen Ziye stopped and looked towards the gate.
Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Ziye asked the servants in the mansion, "Why did the old lady suddenly fall ill?"
The servants knew Chen Ziye's temperament, and outsiders all said that the second master of the Marquis of Lin'an was gentle, humble and polite.
Little did they know that the former Second Master was once a carefree playboy who rode his horse through the streets of the new capital.
Over the years, Second Master has become more refined and kind, simply because he doesn't want to make enemies.
Because the eldest daughter disappeared on her way to her wedding many years ago, the second master was worried about offending people in the business world and missing the news of finding the eldest daughter.
"What? My words no longer carry any weight in this Marquis's mansion?"
Chen Ziye's refined voice rang out, yet it made the servants feel a sense of oppression.
Immediately, the servant recounted in detail what had happened in the old lady's courtyard that day.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ziye's face darkened instantly.
Although he didn't show any signs of rage, his imposing and dignified expression was even more frightening.
The Marquis and the Heir Apparent's voices grew closer, but unexpectedly, Chen Ziye immediately turned around and strode into the mansion, showing no intention of waiting for the people behind him.
Seeing this, the servants quickly followed Chen Ziye's footsteps and walked towards the inner courtyard of the Marquis's residence.
When he entered the old lady's room, he saw that most of the women in the household had gathered there.
He glanced at Chen Siqi, then at Ding Wanyue, and that one glance made the mother and daughter's hearts skip a beat.
However, Chen Ziye did not linger when he passed the two, but went straight to his mother.
At that time, after drinking the medicine, Madam Chen felt much better. The air in her chest seemed less congested, and her breathing became smoother.
Because of old age and declining physical strength, he still doesn't have much strength to sit up straight.
"how?"
The first thing Chen Ziye said when he entered the room was to inquire about the health of Old Madam Chen.
Lu Qiqi put her arm around Madam Chen and said softly, "Grandmother is much better now. She is old and has a chronic illness, so she can't afford to get anxious or stressed."
I will prescribe some tonics for you, and with proper care, there shouldn't be any major problems."
As she spoke, Lu Qiqi looked at Chen Siqi, but her words were meant for Chen Ziye.
"Second Uncle, there is one more thing I need to say."
My grandmother is old now; if she suffers a few more bouts of this kind of emotional distress, even a god couldn't save her!
The illness of an elderly person should not be explained to the patient in the first place, but in this situation, if we continue to cover it up, we are only pushing the elderly into a pit of fire.
After all, helping patients control their emotions is also an important way to prevent unforeseen circumstances.
Before Chen Ziye entered the hospital, he had heard the whole story clearly.
Even if the servants' words were somewhat biased, Lu Qiqi's words confirmed what Chen Siqi had done.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziye's expression was troubled, but he already had a plan in mind.
He said, "Qiqi, your maternal grandmother is unwell. It's all thanks to you being here today."
Please keep an eye on things from now on.
Hearing this, Lu Qiqi understood that Chen Ziye had comprehended her words.
She smiled and said, "Second Uncle, don't worry, I will do my best to help Grandmother recover."
Xuan Wenying said at the right moment, "Seven Seven, the old lady is breathing smoothly now."
"It's uncomfortable for her to sit here. Let's help her back inside so she can rest properly."
As she spoke, she stepped forward to help Madam Chen to her feet and led a maid into the inner room.
Leave this place to Chen Ziye so he can discipline his daughter.
Chen Ziye naturally understood his sister-in-law's good intentions. After watching the group of people walk into the inner room, he turned to look at his wife and daughter.
Chen Siqi had never met her father before, and his stern gaze made her feel a little scared for a moment.
She grabbed Ding Wanyue's hand and kept leaning against her.
Faced with Chen Ziye's gaze, Ding Wanyue was also undecided, her heart pounding like a drum.
Although she had shared a bed with this man for many years, she still couldn't understand his thoughts, let alone know what he looked like when he was truly angry.
After scrutinizing the two for a moment, Chen Ziye said, "I already know what happened today, and you can now explain yourselves."
Let me see what caused the old lady to become so angry that she almost caused a disaster.
Now Chen Siqi truly realized her mistake; she even dared to talk back and defend herself in front of Ding Wanyue.
But now that her father has given her a chance to defend herself, she can't find any reason to do so, which is what terrifies her.
Thinking of this, Chen Siqi changed her previous spoiled manner, grabbed Ding Wanyue's wrist, her eyes reddened, and said coquettishly, "Mother, please say something for me!"
Ding Wanyue didn't want to be blamed, so she thought for a moment before saying, "Second Master, today my sister-in-law took the two sisters, Qiqi and Qiqi, to Baozhu Pavilion."
When they returned, Baozhuge carried a lot of things into her sister-in-law's courtyard.
Siqi, that girl, didn't understand what the servant was saying. She thought that her sister-in-law had used public funds to buy things for the two sisters.
Fearing that he might treat the imposter as well as he had treated the fake one, only to end up with nothing, he came to the old lady to ask her a few questions.
I never imagined it would turn out like this.
As Ding Wanyue said this, Chen Xianming and Chen Zirong also heard the news and rushed to the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, they overheard Ding Wanyue's evasive remarks outside the house.
The father and son, with a tacit understanding, did not interfere in the affairs of the second wife, but stood outside the house, quietly listening to the movements inside.
Chen Ziye sneered inwardly. Although he was engaged in business outside and had traveled to various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty to search for Chen Wenjun, he rarely stayed at home.
But he asked himself honestly, and he knew that he had never been less loving and caring towards his wife and children while they were at home.
Now Ding Wanyue considers him to be a blind and mentally bankrupt person.
Or perhaps, he's been wrong about her all these years!
Chen Ziye said, "So, you're saying that it's a lie that your grandmother was biased?"
Are you pretending to want to split up the family?
Or was she faking her grandmother's illness?
Ding Wanyue had no way to refute these three questions, because every single one of them was true.
At this moment, she felt deep regret. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have brought her eldest daughter along.
Whenever I think about how I've been so clever all my life, yet I've made a mistake because of my own daughter, I wish I could put Chen Siqi back into my belly!
As Chen Siqi listened to her father's words, although his tone was calm, every word he uttered was filled with self-reproach towards her and her mother.
In an instant, a sense of grievance and resentment welled up in her heart, and she said, "Father, Mother and I are your family, why do you always favor outsiders!"
"All these years you've worked so hard outside, and all the money has gone into the pockets of the eldest son's family. Haven't you ever thought about us, mother and daughter?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ding Wanyue wanted to cover her mouth, but it was too late!
