Wei Wei raised her eyes, which had been deliberately rubbed red with a handkerchief, feeling both self-reproach and guilt.
"Madam, it's all my granddaughter-in-law's fault. How could they, as servants, possibly argue with me?"
The old lady looked at her with cold eyes and asked, "What did you do wrong?"
Wei Wei said, "I didn't know my mother was in a bad mood and disturbed her peace... I made another mistake when I left."
She looked up at the old lady pitifully and said, "What Lin Mama said was too awful... I pushed her, and she seemed to fall."
"I'm afraid she'll fall and I don't dare to go see her... What if that offends my mother's eyes? I'd like to ask the old lady to send someone to check on her..."
This statement was so unbelievable that Wei Wei's teeth ached a little when she spoke.
Are these people satisfied with her trying so hard to play the role of a foolish and soft-hearted young mistress of the Meng family?
Madam Meng was not satisfied.
I thought she would come to complain, and I had been thinking of taking this opportunity to give her a warning, but it turns out she was just asking me to send someone to check on the situation.
For a moment, I felt like I was punching cotton, feeling frustrated and angry.
She swallowed her anger, her voice softening: "I thought it was something else, but it turns out it's just this."
“Your mother is confused, and the wet nurse next to her is no better.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Wei's eyes practically screamed with anxiety: "What if Mother isn't willing to give up..."
She looked at Madam Meng and stammered, "Madam, please save your granddaughter-in-law."
A look of disdain flashed in Madam Meng's eyes as she spoke in a deep voice, "She's really spineless! If she won't give up, let her come find me!"
Ah! That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!
Wei Wei wiped away her tears, and contentedly bid farewell and returned to her courtyard.
——
The commotion in Wanshou Hall had not yet subsided.
After Xiao Qiao'er finished inquiring about the news, she returned to Tingfeng Pavilion.
"It was the lady who hit her head!"
She lowered her voice and said, "He has a big bump on the back of his head and is crying his heart out... The master and the young master have already rushed over!"
That feels so good.
Wei Wei leisurely took a sip of her flower tea, then waved for them to take the tea away and not come in again.
Xiao Yue'er smiled knowingly and said, "The young mistress was harassed at Wanshou Hall and was so heartbroken that she was bedridden."
After saying this, he nudged Xiaoqiao'er and said, "We are at our wits' end and can only call the doctor in!"
Wei Wei chuckled: "You're really clever, but the old lady should know about calling a doctor."
Otherwise, the poison that one "drinks" will accumulate in the body, and if one encounters a capable doctor, it will be impossible to hide it.
Wei Wei was not worried that the old lady would send another doctor to examine her.
It was entirely because the medicine she was drinking was "begged" from a certain "miracle doctor".
That "miracle doctor" is so elusive; how could one possibly meet him at will?
Xiaoyue nodded to indicate that she understood, then her face fell and her eyes reddened.
She wiped her eyes with her hand and ran sadly out of the yard.
Xiao Qiao was absolutely stunned!
After realizing what had happened, he immediately helped Wei Wei to bed and then lowered the gauze curtains.
Suddenly, Granny Chun appeared out of nowhere and was already standing at the door, peering inside.
She was probably feeling guilty. Back when she was in Yanshou Hall, she always liked to fawn over her master, but after being disciplined by the old lady, she became less inclined to do so.
That's perfect, Wei Wei is too lazy to play games with her.
Xiao Qiao went out and spoke quietly to Granny Chun. Granny Chun's sighing voice almost made Wei Wei, who was lying on the bed, laugh.
If she didn't court death like Granny Zhang, Wei Wei felt she could keep her around indefinitely, since Tingfeng Pavilion could afford to support a cripple.
Wei Wei was drowsy and unaware that the sounds outside had quieted down.
After a while, Chun Mama spoke in a low, muffled voice: "The eldest young master has arrived."
"Is the young mistress feeling unwell?"
Meng Zhixuan's voice was deep and somber, carrying the calm before a storm.
Jiang Yu gave him three days, which almost drove him to the brink of despair.
He tried every possible way to search the backyard, but he couldn't find a single clue.
In the end, we had to find another way.
This morning, he went to Wanshou Hall intending to have Madam Meng take another look at his second aunt's place. If all else failed, he would at least get a word in edgewise.
However, Madam Meng was clearly unwilling to do things that were beneath her dignity.
She scolded him for being out of his mind, making a scene before even deciding if it was what he was looking for.
Now things are really messed up; the entire Meng family is in chaos and there's no peace.
A disagreement arose between the mother and son, but it was hastily resolved due to the appearance of Wei Wei.
He tried everything he could to delay things for a few more days, but he never expected things to turn out this way.
After much difficulty, they finally managed to get a meeting with the Third Master, who seemed to have even more power than the Seventh Master, only to be forced to return.
At that moment, his emotions were so intense they could kill.
Granny Chun is now like a frightened bird.
Seeing that Meng Zhixuan's expression was not right, he had already begun to consider retreating.
"I'm feeling a little unwell," she replied vaguely. She couldn't very well say that she hadn't actually seen anyone, could she? If they found out, wouldn't they tear her apart?
She was hoping to live a few more years.
"As you know, the young mistress is in poor health and has been taking medicine. It's understandable that she might not be able to hold on after being frightened."
