Madam Shi frowned in confusion upon hearing this.
"Is it really that serious?"
"Wasn't he perfectly healthy and able to come out and greet new students just a few days ago?"
"Oh dear, where is my old lady!"
"Then he must have gotten sick from being out in the wind, that's why he can't get up now."
"Then do you think we should carry the person over?" Granny Cui asked anxiously, her eyes lowered.
Please, please don't!
Otherwise, if her old body hadn't been destroyed by Old Man Sun, it would have been destroyed by Old Madam.
"What's the point of carrying it? It's bad luck!" Old Madam Shi spat casually.
She's an old lady who's into metaphysics.
"Mother~" Shi Mianzhi, who was sitting and waiting to the side, frowned.
“If I don’t have money, I’ll become the laughing stock of the entire capital.”

“You’re just a bastard, and you’re carrying a bastard child in your belly. You should be grateful that I let you into the Shi family.”
"If you don't pay up, believe me, the Shi family will ruin your reputation and bring misfortune upon your parents as well."
"Shi Mianzhi, is that what you mean too?" Wei Yanyan looked at Shi Mianzhi with red eyes, her anger rising.
Shi Mianzhi calmly took a sip of tea, as he was always one to get away with things without bloodshed.
"I'll listen to my mother."
"You two, mother and son, are nothing but bloodsucking parasites."
"Take the money or ruin your reputation, the choice is yours." Old Madam Shi said smugly.
