Madam Yang was very worried.
The stepmother was like a madwoman, cursing everyone in the family every day.
If word got out, people would sympathize with them for having such a stepmother.
Those who don't know the truth will surely think that they mistreated their stepmother, which is why they acted this way.
"That medicine..."
"Don't worry, Madam, no one will know. This old servant went personally."
Madam Yang nodded in relief, "I didn't mean to hide it from my eldest sister; I just didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."
If Aunt Chi knew that the old lady was "sick and insane," she might very well feel sorry for her and soften her heart.
If they were to ask them to treat the old lady the same way they had before, given the Chi family's current status, and especially with the Princess's Mansion and the Meng family involved, they would find it difficult to refuse.
Can……
How could she bear to see the person who so wantonly harmed her granddaughter be served by her in her old age?
Besides, she's the one who's gone mad now; she's just going with the flow.
"Madam, there's no need to overthink it. If Madam Chi finds out the truth, we can't say how she'll act on the surface, but she'll definitely be grateful to us behind our backs."
"Who knows? This must not be known to anyone."
Madam Yang was still worried and gave her a few more instructions.
If this gets out, it won't just be her who will be ruined, but all the children in the family!
"Don't worry, Madam. My daughter-in-law's aunt has this kind of ailment, and my son has always been the one buying the medicine. I took the initiative to offer to help them share the burden, and then bought a larger quantity. No one will know."
"Okay, that's good."
Don't blame her for being heartless; it's just that some elderly people are really...

On the way back, Aunt Chi was filled with worry.
Old Man Chi found it strange and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your mother-in-law?"
"No, I saw that Mother was sleeping very well, but... wasn't it said that Mother wasn't sleeping well?"
"Oh, what's the big deal? Maybe I didn't sleep well before, but I slept well today."
Old Man Chi didn't care.
Everyone has times when they don't sleep well and times when they sleep exceptionally well.
This is all normal.
"Yes, I know, but... my mother is getting old. I see a lot of age spots on her face. I'm afraid... she won't last much longer."
Aunt Chi was filled with emotion.
Even though she didn't have much affection for her mother, and there was a rift between them because of their shared lifespan.
But she was her own mother after all, and she waited for her for a full forty years!
"Don't be too sad. Everyone gets old eventually. Not only her, but both of us will experience this..."
At this point, Old Man Chi began to worry: "I'm worried that I won't live to see my daughter get married."
His daughter is five years old now, and he's fifty.
In another eleven or twelve years, when his daughter gets married, he will be sixty-one or sixty-two years old!
Who knows if I'll live to that age?
"Aww!"
Just as he was feeling sad, a sudden sharp pain shot through his arm, causing Old Man Chi to scream in agony!
Old Man Chi rubbed his arm, stamping his feet in pain, and said angrily, "What are you doing? You old woman, don't you know how to hold back?"
It hurts so much!
He even suspected that a piece of his flesh had been ripped off!
He was puzzled. Why did all these women like to pinch and twist people? And they always liked to pinch just a tiny bit of flesh!
I wish I could just twist it off for you!
What the heck is this?!
"Why would I pinch you if it didn't hurt? Chi Yongcai, you better shut your mouth. If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I'll make sure you're finished right now!"
Aunt Chi's eyes were unusually stern!
Upon seeing his daughter-in-law's expression, Old Man Chi softened and whispered his defense:
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just telling the truth."
They can help several of their sons get married and have children, and they can even help the fifth son take care of his children.
But my daughter...
They really can't guarantee it.
Even if I were still alive then, what could I possibly do to help my daughter?
"...When our eldest son got married, how old were we? We were strong and healthy! We could have helped him raise his children! And they were such beautiful daughters..."
So you mean you regret having a child in your forties?
"That's impossible! How could I possibly regret having a daughter? I just... hate myself for being so incompetent, unable to help my daughter in the future."
Just thinking about it makes me feel upset.
Aunt Chi said calmly, "Don't say that. After all, we haven't been able to help our daughter much."
"If it weren't for our daughter, would we be living such a good life now?"
"I thought you were used to living off your daughter. Why are you suddenly so concerned about your image and so sentimental?"
Old Man Chi: ...
His heart was broken! And then it fell and broke into eight hundred pieces!
Whose wife is like that?
They're just stabbing people in the back!
"Look at you, a grown man, you get upset just because I said something."
Aunt Chi grumbled and mocked.
In an instant, all of Old Man Chi's sadness vanished. He pointed at his daughter-in-law, his mouth agape for a long time, but he didn't dare to utter a single curse!
In the end, he could only utter a harsh remark while feeling frustrated.
"You just wait! You just wait!"
Aunt Chi nodded earnestly: "Okay, I'll wait. Is there a deadline?"
"you!"
Old Man Chi stomped his feet in anger!
Just then, the carriage stopped, and Old Man Chi immediately jumped off and went inside without looking back.
When Aunt Chi went inside, she saw Uncle Chi holding his daughter and complaining incessantly.
