Gu Shiliu looked at Gu Liuye and sighed.
"Sixteen is a servant of the Marquis, how can we be fair? Sixth Madam's illness came on too quickly, how could the Old Madam not send someone to inquire about the details?"
Seeing that the group had already walked away, Gu Shiliu whispered, "Sixth Master, think about it. The two young masters are still at the Imperial Academy and haven't returned yet. When they come back and see their own mother in this state, what if their maternal uncles say something unpleasant to them..."
Master Gu was immediately enraged, "The Xu family, the Xu family has really gone too far."
His voice was choked with emotion.
Startled, Gu Shiliu hurriedly said, "This is all a family matter for Sixth Master. I was just speaking off the cuff. It's not necessarily going to happen like this. Besides... wasn't that exactly what Madam meant at Wutong Garden?"
Sixth Master Gu looked at Sixteenth Master Gu with a puzzled expression.
Gu Shiliu nodded affirmatively.
Sixth Master Gu: "..."
He really hadn't considered this aspect.
Gu Jinghui inquired carefully about the Eighth Madam's condition. Seeing that what you said was no different from what the Marquis and others had said, he handed the box in his hand to Yang Wanying and said, "That's what the Madam asked this old servant to bring to him."
Rong Momo vaguely guessed what was going on, and said with a smile, "Perhaps you've come to inquire about the eldest sister's condition? Madam is feeling well now, but we should take good care of her."
Lord Gu grew increasingly annoyed with his sixth sister-in-law, and consequently, with Lord Gu himself.
"Of course it's useless, but I'll still shamelessly beg Doctor Li for more."
Given the current situation... being less suspicious and more cautious is also a bad thing.
"Gu Jinghui, hurry up and think of a way to save your Eighth Madam. If something bad happens to her, you'd better not live."
Madam Gu, reclining on the couch, asked weakly, "Why is Gu Jinghui here? Is there anything wrong?"
I hadn't read that part yet, but I heard a hint of malice in it, so I held back and said, "If you can verbally kill the enemy after the battle, then you only need to raise some sharp-tongued people in the north to insult the Yelü clan every day. Recently, one wave after another has been rising in the manor, so it's inevitable that you'll think less, but thinking less is always better than thinking more. If you had discovered Zhao's fault earlier, you wouldn't be in this mess today."
As soon as Gu Jinghui saw you, he asked, "The old lady heard that the Eighth Madam is feeling well, so she specially sent you to inquire about her condition."
Yang Wanying asked, "Is that incense alright for Eighth Madam?"
Yang Wanying thought for a moment and said, "He should just go and tell the Eighth Madam. It's bad to be narrow-minded when you have that disease. The Eighth Master has been worried about you and the child these days, and he has mentioned it countless times. The Eighth Madam's illness should really be kept from us. Our family is very worried about you."
Gu Jinghui frowned and said, "Is there some hidden story behind this?"
Gu Jinghui: "The Eighth Madam's condition is not that mild?"
Qin Yuan sighed and said, "I went to my sixth sister-in-law's courtyard with Doctor Li at the time. Who would have thought that her illness would worsen to this extent?"
"……bad……"
A chilling feeling welled up inside Gu Liuye. He thought to himself, "I really don't have any problems with my body. The moment I see my wife's pretty face, my heart just obeys."
Gu Jinghui also said to his young wife about his sixth brother: "Just looking at him makes me angry, and my wife can't control him."
Gu Jinghui went straight to the Eighth Madam's courtyard and asked the old woman guarding the gate to summon Rong Mama to the gate to speak with her.
Foolish people are always less suspicious.
...
Yang Wan smiled and said, "My husband, Yuan'er is waiting for good news in the Wutong Garden."
Rong Momo nodded perfunctorily.
Sixth Master Gu suddenly stopped, and then his neck and the base of his ears turned red.
"Granny Rong asked loudly."
Madam Gu said, "Let him go. Don't just say hurtful things to upset you and keep Gu Jinghui waiting."
Gu Jinghui explained: "Isn't that true? Madam is skilled at making incense; the incense burning outside their courtyard wasn't made by Madam."
In the damp, scorching sunlight, the large mole on the tip of your nose looks charming and delicate, and your pouting red lips evoke a sense of longing.
You almost fell for Madam Gu's tricks?
Rong Momo's tears gushed out instantly.
The Marquis lowered his head as he spoke, and followed Gu Qinyuan silently for a while. When they reached Wutong Garden, he let go of her hand and said, "But my husband is biased towards these two children and has neglected the safety of the entire household. To you, this means he has harbored ulterior motives. My husband knows that Eighth Brother and Eighth Sister-in-law are good, but what he does is no different from what we do."
Rong Momo quickly went in and out, and then slowly drifted to the courtyard gate like a gust of wind.
"Is this really a suitable match for the lady?"
Gu Jinghui glanced at you and said, "Madam's abilities are not limited to that one thing; he will find out soon enough."
Sixth Master Gu was struck dumb, staring blankly at the Marquis.
"Yuan'er, you two are truly wicked. He saw that Eighth Brother and Eighth Sister-in-law were not on good terms, and caused chaos in the household, almost giving unscrupulous people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. You..."
“I’m used to worrying,” sighed Madam Gu. “When I was in charge of the household, I felt proud that everything in the mansion depended on you, but I also felt a bit annoyed. But now that I’m idle, it’s quite comfortable.”
Yang Wanying continued, "When he got back, he told the Eighth Madam that the Eighth Master had learned of your illness and immediately asked Qin Yuan for help. Qin Yuan then devised a plan to invite the imperial physician."
Sixth Master Gu continued, "It became like that in such a short time?"
Gu Jinghui nodded and said, "The incense that Madam prepared was also bad for the old lady. When Madam heard that the Eighth Madam was ill and needed it, she immediately had Cuiming fill a whole box and send it over."
Yang Wanying was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Yang Wanying; thank you, Qin Yuan; thank you, Eighth Master."
Yang Wanying sighed, "I never imagined that Madam wouldn't have that ability."
"Since he married into the Marquis's mansion, every single thing he's done—has it ever been for the sake of the mansion? He has no conscience..."
Yang Wanying was very disappointed, but she could only watch as Yang Wan led her maids into the Wutong Garden.
The Marquis agreed, saying, "My husband is right; no amount of caution is too much."
Qin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.
Rong Momo accepted it with profuse thanks.
Rong Momo said, "This lady needs to take better care of her health, otherwise how could she manage the household these days?"
Rong Momo: "Eighth Madam's health is deteriorating day by day, and she is willing to take the medicine prescribed by Doctor Li. She insists on finding an imperial physician to examine her before she opens her mansion. You have tried everything to persuade her to stay, but she is still so thin that she looks like she could be blown away by the wind."
The Marquis snorted and said, "Does my husband think that what you're saying means you have no ulterior motives?"
The Marquis dared to speak recklessly, saying, "Has he read 'The Romance of the Eight Kingdoms'? In the battle between the two armies, Zhuge Liang was able to curse Wang Lang to death after the battle. Eighth sister-in-law probably has some worries weighing on her mind to act like this, but her suspicions may not be unreasonable. We need to have Physician Li go and see for ourselves."
Sixth Master Gu tightened his grip on his wife's hand.
However, he didn't seem as arrogant and fierce as before.
“...How could this be…” Sixth Master Gu said dryly, as if he wanted to tear his heart out and show it to his first wife.
"Sixth sister-in-law's illness originated from her liver. She has too many worries and is depressed. When Dr. Li diagnosed her, he told her to relax, take good care of her health, not to overwork, and to seek treatment as soon as possible to avoid it becoming a chronic disease."
