"Grandma Luo, rest assured, the child and I are both fine," Yang Mengchen said softly, holding back her tears. "Grandma Luo, please focus on recuperating. The baby is still waiting to call you great-grandmother. When the baby grows up and becomes sensible, they will take good care of you. Someday, when getting married, they will still kowtow to you..."
As she spoke, she took Old Lady Luo’s pulse. Moved by her own words, everyone in the room couldn’t help but turn away; tears silently slid down their faces.
Lady Luo and her daughter-in-law joined in to persuade her.
Seeing that Yang Mengchen indeed looked well, Old Lady Luo finally felt at ease and slowly closed her eyes to rest again.
After instructing the maids and old women to take good care of Old Lady Luo, everyone gradually left the room.
"Uncle Luo, how did Grandma Luo suddenly suffer from a stroke?" Yang Mengchen had rushed over as soon as she heard that Old Lady Luo had fainted, without time to ask Birdy about the reason. freёwebnovel-com
Doctor Luo, with tears in his eyes, explained, "At the end of last month, my parents returned from Hot Spring Villa, and Mother caught a cold. With the changing seasons, her recovery was naturally slow. But she has an impatient temperament, and seeing that she wasn’t healing quickly made her cross, which I didn’t expect would trigger the stroke."
"Is that really the case?" Yang Mengchen asked back.
Doctor Luo and the Luo family members all nodded.
Yang Mengchen softly stroked her significantly swollen belly and raised her eyebrows with a meaningful expression: "Even if you didn’t tell me, I would find out. But I am pregnant now, and if I were to receive any upsetting news and react strongly, the consequences..."
"Chenchen, please don’t get agitated— we will tell you, we will tell you." The Luo family members panicked: knowing Chenchen had extraordinary abilities and would surely find out, what if she got agitated and harmed herself? How could they live with the regret?
Yang Mengchen calmly looked towards Xia Zhimo, knowing that she was always straightforward and open, and could hardly keep anything secret.
As expected, once Xia Zhimo noticed Yang Mengchen looking at her, the words just spilled out of her mouth: "After the incident with Liao Zhiyan became known, Father and Mother were worried that Grandmother would find out and become agitated, exacerbating her illness, so they instructed everyone to keep it secret from Grandpa and Grandma. But this morning, a maid in Grandmother’s courtyard let it slip, and upon hearing she wanted to see you urgently, Grandmother fainted..."
After speaking in one go, Xia Zhimo realized her family members were glaring at her reproachfully. Reacting to their stares, she quickly covered her mouth and hid behind Luo Jingyao.
She didn’t mean to do it on purpose, but Chenchen’s presence was so imposing that she couldn’t help spilling everything just from that serene gaze.
Sobbing, Xia Zhimo thought Chenchen was scaring her on purpose, Chenchen had turned bad!
"Don’t blame third sister-in-law," Yang Mengchen said, moved and saddened upon knowing the full story. "After all, it was Wende’s and my fault for not handling the situation in time, which caused all of you to worry as well."
Lady Luo said anxiously, "It’s all because of that troublemaker’s actions, and we didn’t manage the inner yard properly. It has nothing to do with you and the Crown Prince, please don’t overthink it."
"Yes, this matter has nothing to do with you both," Doctor Luo changed the subject, "Chenchen, how is your Grandma Luo’s condition?"
Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Yang Mengchen replied softly, "Grandma Luo’s life is not in danger, but from now on, her speech and actions must be limited, and she requires meticulous care. I will come regularly to perform acupuncture on Grandma Luo, and I’ll teach the maids and old women a set of massage techniques so that they can do them for Grandma Luo every day. Uncle Luo, take the prescription I just made and turn it into a medicinal powder. There has to be a consistent administration to Grandma Luo, and with a year or two of recuperation, she should make a full recovery."
"No! You’re pregnant, how can you perform acupuncture on Mother? Teach me instead, and I’ll do it for Mother," Doctor Luo immediately objected.
The Luo family members all shook their heads in disagreement.
Uncle Luo would be the logical choice, but considering Old Lady Luo’s condition, complementing with Inner Strength would yield better results. After thinking a moment, Yang Mengchen suggested, "I will first teach Hai Tang, and she can perform the acupuncture for Grandma Luo."
Doctor Luo wanted to argue that Hai Tang needed to be guarding Yang Mengchen’s safety and was hence not suitable, but Luo Jingrui timely shook his head at his father. His elder son was intelligent and detail-oriented, and he must have his own reasons for suggesting this, so Doctor Luo didn’t say any more.
After having lunch with the Luo family and spending some time with Old Lady Luo, who had woken up, Yang Mengchen then took Sister Jin and the others into the carriage to return home.
The carriage was custom-built on Long Xuanmo’s orders after she became pregnant, not only robust like iron walls but also fitted with shock absorbers asked from Chu Dieyi in a letter, and the interior was fully equipped.
Yang Mengchen felt a bit sleepy and, after telling Sister Jin and the others, she lay on her side on the thickly padded carriage and soon fell soundly asleep.
Sister Jin tucked Yang Mengchen in with a brocade quilt and the others stayed quietly without making a sound.
