I originally thought that the First Madam would just leave the courtyard and take a walk around the neighborhood.
After searching carefully, it was as if they had simply vanished from the Meng residence.
Granny Zhang was extremely anxious and ran to Tingfeng Pavilion with a mournful face to report the incident.
Wei Wei remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
These past two days, Madam Meng has been so obedient that everyone has let down their guard.
That's why I was able to run so smoothly!
She spoke slowly and deliberately: "Call all the servants out to search."
After saying this, he put on his clothes and went outside.
If she can't be found in the city, then there's only one place she can go.
The manor where Meng Zhixuan recuperated!
Whether she's truly insane or faking it, we'll see where she is.
Many servants rushed out the door, frantically searching for someone.
Wei Wei also rode in a carriage towards the city gate.
However, just as they were about to reach the city gate, they were stopped again by a servant who hurriedly caught up with them.
"Young Madam! We've found the Young Madam!"
"It was pulled out of the pond behind the Meng residence!"
Wei Wei's face scrunched up like a bun; for a moment, she didn't understand what those words meant.
When I came to my senses, I couldn't help but find it hilarious.
What exactly is this woman trying to do?
Feeling somewhat frustrated, she had no choice but to order her horse to turn around and head towards the Meng family's location.
When they arrived, they ran into Madam Meng, who was wrapped in a quilt by Granny Zhang, at the door.
All that could be seen was her pale face, her black hair plastered to her face, and her vacant eyes staring blankly into the distance.
My whole body was trembling.
Granny Zhang stepped forward anxiously and said, "I don't know how, but Madam somehow ran from Wanshou Hall to another courtyard, and there happens to be a pond outside that courtyard..."
"She climbed over the wall and fell into the pool."
When Granny Zhang talked about it, her expression was indescribable, and it seemed unbelievable to think about it now.
Why would a perfectly healthy person climb over a wall and fall into a pond? If no one had noticed, wouldn't they have drowned?
"Where is the person who saved my mother?"
Wei Wei asked.
She looked around but didn't see any unfamiliar faces.
Granny Zhang said, "It was a young man passing by who rescued the lady and then left. We couldn't stop him no matter what we did."
"How can this be?"
Wei Wei said to the servant guarding her, "Go and find the person. I will not have peace of mind if I do not repay such a life-saving grace."
"Remember, if you can't find them, ask the neighbors along the way. You have to see them!"
The servants agreed and hurriedly left.
Perhaps it was the cold, but Madam Meng started shivering.
Granny Zhang said worriedly, "Could it be that he fell into the water and caught a cold? What if he gets sick?"
Wei Wei looked at the woman who was wrapped in the blanket with only her head sticking out.
She kept her head down and remained silent, her face still expressionless, as if none of this concerned her.
"Take it home, give it a hot bath, and make some ginger soup."
"As long as you don't get a fever tonight, it's fine."
Wei Wei withdrew her gaze and stepped through the door first.
After everyone returned to their places, Wei Wei made a special trip to the courtyard where Madam Meng had fallen into the water.
It's a very small courtyard, usually used to store miscellaneous items.
The wall was very high; if it were Madam Meng herself, she wouldn't be able to climb it at all.
Leng Pusheng checked the area and finally found faint male footprints.
Wei Wei pondered for a long time but still couldn't determine whether this was someone who came to meet her or someone who wanted to kill Madam Meng.
Unfortunately, the "savior" seemed to have vanished, and many people searched for and inquired about him, but there was no trace of him.
Even if you wanted to ask him even a little bit about falling into the water, you couldn't.
That evening, news came from Wanshou Hall that Madam Meng had a fever.
"He had a high fever; his whole face was red!"
Granny Zhang hurriedly reported.
When Wei Wei arrived, wearing only a coat, she was already delirious with fever.
The people around her were pacing anxiously, and Wei Wei sat down next to her and listened to a few words.
He spoke very quickly, and his words were mumbled and indistinct, making it impossible to understand.
So we gave up.
Wei Wei reached out and touched her forehead.
It's really hot.
At this time of year, all the clinics are closed.
I could only call my old woman to bring me some wet wipes to cool my forehead.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that the temperature gradually dropped.
When Madam Meng opened her eyes, Wei Wei was already asleep by the bedside.
Her face was buried under her arms, and her breathing was barely audible.
A figure landed silently in the courtyard of Wanshou Hall.
Heading towards the dormitory.
Madam Meng opened her mouth and softly called out, "Madam Wei."
Perhaps Wei Wei had been up for too long and was now sleeping soundly, so no one heard her calling out.
Undeterred, she called out again, "Mrs. Wei."
There has still been no response.
Madam Meng slowly got out of bed, stepped barefoot on the ground, and walked outside.
Her face has gained some weight in the last couple of days.
Although she has just fallen ill, she looks much better than when she was found a few days earlier.
Her right hand was empty, swaying as she walked quickly.
The man in black stood in the corridor waiting for her, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Wei, who was lying by the bed, his expression cold and bloodthirsty.
"How is my son?" Madam Meng asked impatiently as soon as she stepped out.
