However, after arriving at the general's mansion, the imperial physician's words were similar to those of the doctor, both saying that there was nothing they could do to save Sang Liwan and asking him to make good preparations for his funeral.
Sang Liwan nodded silently and sent the imperial physician away with great courtesy.
Seeing her calm demeanor, the imperial physician thought she was upset and advised with some concern, "Princess, please accept my condolences."
"Thank you, Doctor."
Sang Liwan sent the imperial physician away, and when he came back he saw Sang Yuyan kneeling in front of Xu's bed crying.
Her face was covered in tears and she looked extremely shabby, completely different from her usual bright and beautiful appearance.
Sang Liwan knew that Sang Yuyan was really scared at this moment. She was afraid that Xu would die and she would be the only one left in the entire general's mansion.
After all, given the current situation, it would be good enough if General Sang’s affairs did not implicate his family.
Sang Yuyan couldn't tell whether she was crying for Xu or for herself.
In short, she felt that her future was dark and she could not see any hope at all.
As soon as Sang Liwan stepped over the threshold, she heard a burst of crying, which made her feel upset.
She frowned and looked at Sang Yuyan, unable to help but scolding, "Why are you crying? Mother is still alive!"
Perhaps it was because Sang Liwan rarely spoke in such a tone, but at least Sang Yuyan was indeed stunned by her yelling.
The cry that was about to burst out of her mouth was stuck in her throat, making her face red and almost unable to breathe.
Fortunately, the maid beside her was quite perceptive. Seeing this, she quickly walked over and offered her hand to help Sang Yuyan calm down.
Only then did I recover.
"Eldest sister..."
Sang Yuyan was completely at a loss at this moment. She had never experienced such a thing and had never imagined that one day she would kneel here alone and cry for her mother.
In her mind, such a scene seemed to be something that would happen many years later.
But at this moment, he suddenly fell from the sky and appeared in front of her.
At this moment, she actually developed a certain degree of dependence on Sang Liwan.
However, Sang Liwan had no intention of spoiling her.
"You're crying now? How have you been taking care of Mom these days? The doctor said Mom hasn't been feeling well since last night, but no one noticed. What on earth have you been doing?"
As he spoke, Sang Liwan casually threw a teacup out, and it hit the door frame with a crisp bang.
Then the fragments fell sparsely to the ground, making everyone shudder and not dare to speak at this time.
No one expected that Sang Liwan would get so angry.
Is it really that scary when the former eldest daughter gets angry?
The servants were all thinking about it, feeling somewhat surprised and confused.
After all, everyone present at Xu's serious illness was not so clean.
If Sang Yuyan is responsible, then the servants who serve her closely are even more responsible.
They originally thought that Sang Liwan was still the same young lady as before, but they didn't expect that her current aura was not much worse than that of His Royal Highness Prince An.
The person with a guilty conscience started to tremble instantly, stood aside with his head down, not daring to speak, and even dared not look at Sang Liwan.
Not to mention the servants, even Sang Yuyan was shocked.
She stared at Sang Liwan with wide eyes, unable to utter a word.
"Eldest sister..."
Sang Liwan strode forward a few steps, came in front of Sang Yuyan, grabbed her collar and lifted her up.
Sang Liwan is very strong, so it is easy for him to deal with a lady like Sang Yuyan who never leaves the house.
Before Sang Yuyan could even react to what was happening, she was already picked up by Sang Yuyan.
She stared at the cold Sang Liwan in front of her with wide eyes, as if she didn't understand what she had done wrong to make Sang Liwan so angry.
"How long has it been since you last visited your mother?"
Sang Yuyan was panicked, but at this moment, she dared not admit this.
She shook her head vigorously. "What are you talking about, elder sister? I stay in the mansion all day and don't even leave the house. How could I not come to see mother?"
However, Sang Liwan didn't believe a single word of her lies.
"Since you're here, how could you not know what these servants said to their mother?"
Sang Yuyan was stunned. "What?"
She subconsciously looked around, but saw that all the servants in the room had their heads lowered, and none of them dared to meet her gaze.
Sang Yuyan suddenly realized something.
But she couldn't believe it.
She struggled to free herself from Sang Liwan's hand, strode over to Ziyuan, the maid who served Xu personally, and demanded harshly, "What on earth did you say in front of my mother? How did it suddenly become like this?"
Sang Yuyan's voice was shrill. Ziyuan lowered her head and trembled all over, not daring to speak to her at all.
But the more she did this, the more guilty she seemed.
Originally, Sang Yuyan only believed Sang Liwan's words 50%, but seeing Zi Yuan's appearance at the moment, she believed it 80% to 90%.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she had a very bad premonition.
"Say something!" Sang Yuyan yelled miserably.
However, when Sang Liwan heard her voice, he felt it was extremely ironic.
Now that things have come to this, who is she showing this attitude to?
Sang Liwan's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, but now was not the time to teach Sang Yuyan a lesson.
Her gaze also fell on Ziyuan, and she said lightly: "Ziyuan, why don't you speak?"
Although her voice was very soft, even much gentler than Sang Yuyan's, Zi Yuan felt that Sang Liwan's voice was extremely cold, so cold that she almost couldn't help shivering all over.
She gritted her teeth and pinched her palms hard to prevent her voice from trembling.
"Princess, I don't know what to say."
"Really?" Sang Liwan laughed sarcastically, tilting his head and glancing quietly at Ziyuan's fair and pretty face.
"Zi Yuan, I remember you're not even eighteen yet. How come your memory is so bad? Let me help you recall it."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand without waiting for Ziyuan to speak, and soon a cleaning maid came out from behind the door.
The girl was wearing a cloth dress and looked very inconspicuous, but at this moment she was standing in front of Sang Liwan with her head lowered, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not have the guilty look of Zi Yuan at all.
"Fengming, tell me what you heard."
Zi Yuan seemed to realize something suddenly. She raised her head and looked at Sang Liwan, just meeting his cold eyes.
Zi Yuan couldn't help but feel her heart tighten, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
A feeling of impending disaster enveloped her whole body, making her feel dizzy.
And Feng Ming's words continued over there.
"I heard Ziyuan and Qinglan say that the general has a mistress outside. I'm afraid he has already forgotten the lady. It's better for them to find a way out for themselves as soon as possible."
