Xie Wanyun walked closer. Old Madam Qin opened her eyes and looked at her, but she didn't even have the strength to nod. She closed her eyes again and gasped heavily.
Xie Wanyun, a man of limited medical knowledge, found the old lady's symptoms odd. A sudden illness at someone of her age would most likely be a stroke, with symptoms like facial paralysis and numbness of the hands and feet. But Madam Qin was simply listless, pale, and sweating. This didn't sound like an illness, but more like poisoning.
The doctor took her pulse and shook his head. "The old lady is no longer useful. Let's prepare for her funeral as soon as possible."
Suddenly, there were cries everywhere in the room.
Wei threw herself on her knees at the head of the bed, clutching Madam Qin's hand and crying breathlessly. "Madam, what happened to you? You were fine yesterday, but suddenly you're so sick! If anything happens to you, how will I live? We've been dependent on each other for so many years. You're closer to me than my own mother! You can't abandon me!"
Qin Su'an's eyes also filled with tears. He knelt down at the head of the bed and said with a sob: "Grandma! Grandma! You can't abandon us. I am an unfilial grandson. I couldn't let you live a good life. Instead, you suffered so much..."
He suddenly remembered something, turned around and grabbed the doctor and asked, "Doctor, what is wrong with my grandmother? Why is it so severe? She was fine a few days ago, but suddenly she is no longer able to take her place?"
The doctor stroked his goatee and said, "The old lady is old, and this winter is cold. It's inevitable that her old illness will be triggered. Phlegm and blood stasis are blocking the meridians, causing stagnation of blood in the heart. This has caused numbness in the hands and feet, chest and abdominal pain, and poor circulation of qi and blood..."
"That's enough! Who wants to listen to you reciting medical books?" Qin Su'an waved his hand impatiently. "Is it really hopeless? I'm afraid your medical skills aren't good enough. I'll find another famous doctor!"
The doctor shook his head, packed up his medicine box, and said indifferently, "Even if you search all the famous doctors in the capital, they will all say the same thing as me."
Liu Yun'er cried and held Qin Su'an, "Master, I know you are sad, but you still have to mourn. While the old lady is still awake, do what needs to be done and don't leave any regrets!"
Qin Suan thought, "That's right! The old lady still has inheritance to tell you!" He didn't care about anything else and hurried to see how Madam Qin was doing.
Xie Wanyun had no respect for Old Madam Qin, only disgust and hatred. She couldn't feign grief, and she disdained to act. She just quietly observed the people in the room.
Liu Yun'er acted out the whole act, lowered her body and knelt down in front of the bed, raised her sleeves to cover her face, and wailed long and short times.
"Old Madam! Yun'er has never been lucky enough to be filial to you. Recently, she finally got married into your house. I wanted to make amends, but who would have thought that you would be gone soon! Is it me who is unlucky, or you?"
Wei was so angry that she was shaking all over when she heard Liu Yun'er's words. She couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her in the face without caring about the presence of outsiders!
"You jinx, you crow-mouthed jinx! What are you talking about? You just know the old lady is dying and is going to die? I know you hate the old lady and me, and now you've got what you wanted. I'm telling you, you're celebrating too early! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you out with my big stick! Get out of here!"
Seeing her lose her temper, Wei Mingyue quickly pulled Liu Yuner away, winked at her, and shook her head quietly, signaling her not to speak anymore.
Xie Wanyun watched coldly, feeling that these two people were strange. Wei Mingyue's actions were clearly to protect Liu Yuner. When did their relationship become so good?
Quan Ge'er was already scared silly. The adults were crying and making a fuss, and his mother was beaten again, but the one who beat her was his grandmother, so he didn't know what to do.
Xie Wanyun stepped forward, took his hand and led him out, and ordered the servant to take him back to Nong Yu Hall.
Quan Ge'er held her hand tightly, raised his little face and asked, "Madam, is the old lady really going to die?"
Xie Wanyun looked into the child's uneasy eyes and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Quan Ge'er's eyes darkened and he nodded gently, "I'm scared and very sad."
