Pei Huan frowned.
She came from the fourth courtyard and went straight to the kitchen, where she was helping to look after the medicine stove. Unexpectedly, a servant came over and said that the lady had fainted.
My mother has always had the habit of taking a nap at noon. This is the time when she takes medicine and then goes to bed.
She went straight back to the fifth courtyard after lunch, so why is she going to the fourth courtyard now?
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, she asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Why did my mother suddenly faint?"
Gu Ci pursed her lips, pretended to be in thought for two seconds, and just opened her mouth.
But before they could say anything, Cui Yuanshan at the side couldn't help but tell them what they had seen when they passed by, adding more details.
What Meng Sheng said was that he was extremely rebellious and unreasonable. He didn't take her aunt seriously at all. He tried to sow discord between her aunt and her second cousin, and even made sarcastic remarks to her aunt.
He described it so vividly and indignantly.
It happened that the niece called her mother and uncle over, and they happened to hear what she said.
"What? How dare Meng Sheng be so presumptuous?! What scholarly family?! She's just an uneducated, uncultured, second-married woman! Who is she? How dare she boss the Pei family's mistress around like that? Who gave her the face?"
Aunt Pei Sui started cursing passionately, not caring about her image at all.
Pei Sui's uncle Cui Zhengqing also looked unhappy.
He looked at Cui Yuanshan and asked with suppressed anger, "Is what you said true?"
Cui Yuanshan had always been favored at home and was not afraid of him at all. She nodded indignantly, "Of course! How could I wrongly accuse her?! Dad, you don't know, I originally wanted to help my aunt, but she ended up forcing my aunt to apologize to her.
Later, when her cousin came, her arrogant face was so disgusting. Her cousin was so blind that he even helped her to say bad things about her aunt. Her aunt was so angry that she shook all over, rolled her eyes and fainted.
Guess what? My cousin wanted to come and help my aunt, but Meng Sheng dragged him away without caring about my aunt's life or death.
The girl from my aunt's family also agreed after hearing what she said.
The two sisters were like singing a duet, back and forth.
Gu Ci listened silently, trying hard to suppress the corners of her lips that were about to turn up.
This is also a good result.
As the saying goes, an unintentional planting leads to a great success.
When sending Cui Xueheng back to the fifth courtyard, she said a few words of guidance and explanation on the way with a worried look on her face, and also asked her niece to go to the old lady's courtyard to deliver a letter to her parents and uncle.
He just wanted to lure the Cui family over and then spread the news through the words of Cui Yuanshan and her sister.
She was just worrying about what to do if the two of them didn't understand what she meant.
Fortunately it was successful.
Pei Huan was listening nearby, frowning.
Apart from Pei Sui, he is the person in this family with whom she and Meng Sheng have the most contact and the longest time.
She knew very well that Meng Sheng was not the kind of person Cui Yuanshan described.
Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, she knew the personalities of her two cousins quite well. She didn't even need to guess to know that only about 30% of it was true, and the other 70% was just exaggeration made by the two of them.
Perhaps, she was exaggerating 30% of the time.
Pei Huan subconsciously turned his gaze to Gu Ci, who was present at the scene.
Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak and couldn't get a word in, Pei Huan frowned again. Before he could say anything, the family doctor came out.
"Madam, this is emotional syncope. Excessive emotion causes a sudden drop in blood pressure, a slowed heart rate, and insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to a brief fainting spell."
"Is it serious? When will he wake up?" Pei Huan asked.
The family doctor said, "Madam has woken up. However, she is a little dazed and lacks energy."
She needs to rest more and calm down emotionally, and not get angry anymore, otherwise it will easily trigger her existing mental illness."
Everyone looked solemn and no longer cared about being angry at Meng Sheng. They all ran in to see Cui Xueheng.
Cui Xueheng's mental illness is mainly caused by memory disorder.
Occasionally I would mistake someone for someone else.
It's just that it has gotten better in the past few years, and the number of attacks has become very few.
I just wanted to pretend to be sick today, but I ended up getting sick from anger.
Because the old lady was old and lacked energy, she sat in the hall for more than half an hour and then went back to her room to take a nap.
Less than ten minutes after she lay down, a servant came to report that the lady had suddenly fainted.
She calmly called over the nanny who took care of her daily life and said, "Go over and see what happened and see how she is doing."
The nanny agreed and hurried to the fifth courtyard.
After listening to Cui Yuanshan's account of what happened, she just frowned and didn't show anything because of their one-sided words. She turned around and asked the family doctor about the wife's current health condition.
After she had a general understanding of the situation, she openly and covertly criticized several girls.
Today is the old lady's birthday. There are so many guests at home. Although they are all close relatives and friends, the Pei family's door has not been opened to outsiders for more than ten years.
No one wants the Pei family to be in the spotlight because of this incident.
Therefore, this matter cannot be made public.
On the way back to the fourth courtyard, she specifically asked a few servants. Seeing that no servant had seen what happened, she told the old lady the truth.
The old lady looked confused and asked tiredly, "Where are Asui and Shengsheng?"
"He's gone to the greenhouse," the nanny replied. "Do you need me to call the Second Young Master and Miss Meng back?"
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Calling them back like this will only make the guests suspicious. Asui and Shengsheng are both smart people, and they are not the kind of people who would make unreasonable demands.
I'm old, and there are some things I can't handle. Just have someone tell A Yu about it, and they'll take care of it."
After saying that, he lay down again.
After taking Meng Sheng away from Cui Xueheng and the others, Pei Sui took her to the glass greenhouse that the old lady had specially customized for flowers and plants.
This courtyard uses a collision of two completely different style elements, modern and ancient. It is really eye-catching when you see it for the first time.
There are 17 varieties of flowers in the greenhouse, five or six of which Meng Sheng didn't recognize. He only found out about them after being introduced by the servant who took care of the greenhouse.
"If you like, you can come over tonight and pick a bunch to take back."
Meng Sheng tilted his head to look at the man with a cold tone and asked jokingly, "Isn't this grandma's greenhouse? Can you make the decision?"
Pei Sui looked at her. His almond-shaped eyes were filled with innate arrogance and coldness, but at this moment, there were hints of a bright smile.
It was as if a warm sun finally rose above the mountains that had been covered with snow all year round.
He said, "Grandma isn't that stingy."
Meng Sheng nodded, "That's right. But I don't need to pick them. They already have some ready-made ones. I can just ask them to help wrap a bunch before I go back."
As they were talking, a servant came over hurriedly and said, "Second Young Master, Miss Meng, the Madam has fainted."
