Yuan Zhao was talking to Rong Ruo when Linglong called softly from outside:
"Miss."
"What's up?"
Yuan Zhao knew that Linglong wouldn't bother her at this time unless it was something important.
"Miss, the maid who serves the Old Madam says that the Old Madam seems to be failing!"
Yuan Zhao was taken aback, then stood up and said:
"I'll go take a look."
These past few days have indeed been difficult for Madam Zhou. She is lying in bed unable to move and can only watch helplessly as the group of vampires come into her room and take everything away.
Her trusted confidants had long been sold off, and the maids, seeing that no one paid attention to her, naturally stopped caring about her.
Yuan Zhao thought she could hold on for a while longer, but he didn't expect her to pass away so quickly.
The Dowager Consort hasn't returned yet. Perhaps I can go and talk to the Dowager today and give her some hope.
She hoped that Old Madam Zhou could hold on for a while longer, at least until the Empress Dowager returned.
Thinking of this, she asked Wenfeng to find Jinzhu to find a way to save Madam Zhou's life.
Even if it means enduring hardship, we must wait until the Empress Dowager returns.
When Yuan Zhao arrived at Madam Zhou's courtyard, he hadn't been there for several days, and the place had changed drastically.
What was once a rather exquisite place has now become a mess.
Linglong was right; Old Madam Zhou was indeed dying. Even when she heard noises, she didn't open her eyes, and she was exhaling more than she was inhaling.
Linglong arrived quickly. Knowing Yuanzhao's meaning, she took the old lady's pulse and said:
"At most, ten days."
"Then it will be ten days."
Yuan Zhao said.
Linglong nodded, took out a pill and gave it to the old lady. After a while, the old lady slowly woke up.
Upon seeing Yuan Zhao, her eyes flickered slightly, the hatred within them impossible to conceal.
She felt that her current predicament was entirely due to Yuan Zhao.
"Grandmother, I heard you're not feeling well, so your granddaughter-in-law came to check on you."
As she spoke, she glanced around and said calmly:
"No wonder Grandmother is so heartbroken; even her granddaughter-in-law would find it unbearable."
"However, as a junior, the granddaughter-in-law can't do anything to seek justice for her grandmother."
Although Old Madam Zhou was terminally ill, her mind was still quite sharp. Hearing Yuan Zhao's words, she began to wonder about his purpose, but then she heard Yuan Zhao say:
"Grandmother, I heard that the Dowager Princess is coming back soon."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light finally appeared in Madam Zhou's cloudy eyes.
The Dowager Consort is her own sister; she will surely summon her upon her return.
Then I will have my day to turn things around.
Originally, she had lost all will to live, but Yuan Zhao's words ignited a strong desire to survive within her.
She looked at Yuan Zhao with a sneer. No wonder she came today; she must have heard about this and wanted to curry favor with her.
She even considered filing a complaint against someone, but she was wrong.
Even if those beasts are worthless, they still came from her womb.
Even if we want to settle scores with them, we should deal with Yuan Zhao first.
When the Empress Dowager returned, her first act was to make Yuan Zhao pay.
Seeing her instantly become energetic, Yuan Zhao smiled faintly.
Having achieved her goal, she turned and left without lingering.
"Wenfeng, go back to the General's Mansion yourself and ask your father and brothers to suspend their current affairs."
Yuan Zhao gave the instructions in a low voice.
"Also, let's wait and see how things develop these next few days. If there's any new information, I'll send it back."
“Tell my father and brothers not to worry about me, I’m fine.”
She had no way to explain her relationship with Rong Ruo, so she could only give up for the time being.
"Oh, and tell my father and brothers that the Yongning Marquis's mansion will soon cease to exist."
