Chapter 52: A last gasp?



Chuqiu's eyebrows were slightly frowned and her face looked a little unhappy.

But soon, she realized something was wrong.

If Yun Wanrou died, Qian would definitely let Jiang Huaishu remarry.

Perhaps, if she works hard, she can replace Yun Wanrou and become the mistress of Marquis Anyuan!

Thinking of this, Chu Qiu was overjoyed.

Her eyes, as she looked towards Yun Wanrou, were filled with viciousness and malice.

"Arou..."

Jiang Huaishu hurried over as planned.

He originally wanted to praise Chu Qiu in front of Yun Wanrou and then let Yun Wanrou recognize Chu Qiu as her sister.

However, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Wangshu crying.

Yun Wanrou was lying on the bed, pale and unconscious.

Um?

Didn’t you say you fell into the pond? Why are you dizzy?

"My Lord, my Lady...she is dying."

Wangshu stood up slowly, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Jiang Huaishu was stunned, then smiled and shook his head.

"What's wrong? Wangshu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"My Lord, the doctor has just come. He said that the lady only has one breath left. There is no...no hope of saving her!"

Hearing this, Jiang Huaishu staggered and took a step back.

He turned and glared at Chu Qiu, a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

Yun Wanrou is Yun Xiucheng's only daughter and the apple of his eye.

If something happened to her in the Marquis' Mansion, wouldn't Yun Xiucheng skin her alive and scrape her bones?

It's all this woman's fault. What a bad idea.

If he had not listened to her, Yun Wanrou would not be in trouble, and Yun Xiucheng would not have made things difficult for him and the Marquis' Mansion.

But it's too late to think about these things now.

He had to find a way to keep this secret.

"Wangshu, don't spread Madam's affairs for now. Especially to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, don't say a single word."

"No, the Grand Master is Madam's father. Madam is in critical condition now. If the Grand Master cannot see Madam for the last time, he will regret it for the rest of his life!"

Wangshu wiped the tears from his face.

"I will go and inform the Grand Master right away!"

Having said that, she turned and walked out.

When passing by Jiang Huaishu, he grabbed her arm.

"I said, you can't go!"

"My Lord, why is this?"

Wangshu turned around and looked at him in confusion.

Jiang Huaishu used a little force and pulled her back.

"I mean, my father-in-law would be sad if he knew about this. And what a doctor says may not be true.

I will invite all the doctors in the city to come here. I just don't believe that Arou can't be saved!"

Jiang Huaishu gritted his teeth and turned to look at Chu Qiu.

"You keep an eye on her here and don't let her leave the room!"

After saying this, Jiang Huaishu turned and left.

Chu Qiu was frightened by his arrogance.

She had known him for so many years, but this was the first time she saw him so anxious.

He cares so much about Yun Wanrou's life or death, could it be that he loves her?

When Chu Qiu thought of this possibility, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.

She turned to look at Yun Wanrou, wishing she would die right now.

Although Chu Qiu was angry, she also knew that the news of Yun Wanrou's accident must not be passed back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

She kept a close eye on Wangshu and would not let her leave the room.

Wangshu couldn't get out and could only cry beside Yun Wanrou.

Yun Wanrou felt a headache from the crying.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Wangshu with tears in his eyes, covering the back of her hand with his palm.

"Why are you crying?"

"My wife is about to die, I am so hurt..."

Before Wangshu could finish her words, she suddenly realized that the person talking to her seemed to be her wife.

She cried for so long that her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked at Yun Wanrou.

Seeing her wake up, Wangshu cried even louder.

"Woo, woo, woo, ma'am, are you having a last burst of energy?"

"Fool, what nonsense are you talking about!"

The conversation between the two people slowly reached Chuqiu's ears.

She rushed forward quickly, and when she saw Yun Wanrou waking up, her eyes suddenly turned cold.

How could this woman be so lucky? The doctors said she was dying, but she woke up.

No, she must not be allowed to live.

If she were alive, Jiang Huaishu would have no chance to marry her!

Chuqiu turned around and looked around, and saw a pair of scissors placed aside.

She walked quickly forward, hid the scissors behind her, and moved towards the bed step by step.

Wangshu was still immersed in sorrow and didn't notice her abnormality at all.

She gripped the scissors tightly and was about to start working when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Hearing the sound, Chu Qiu was so scared that he trembled all over.

The scissors hidden behind my back almost fell to the ground.

She quickly hid the scissors in her sleeves.

Although her movements were quick, Jiang Huaishu still saw them.

He frowned and said unhappily: "Chu Qiu, go out and wait!"

"promise!"

Chu Qiu responded and ran out guiltily.

Jiang Huaishu glanced at her, then brought two doctors to the bedside.

Seeing Yun Wanrou wake up, he was slightly stunned.

He soon figured out why Chu Qiu was holding a pair of scissors in her hand.

He originally thought that Chu Qiu wanted to kill Wangshu.

Unexpectedly, the person she really wanted to kill was Yun Wanrou.

Who gave her such courage?

"Doctor, please help my wife."

A doctor nodded and squatted beside Yun Wanrou.

He gently placed his fingers on Yun Wanrou's pulse, and after a while, he took them back.

As soon as he stood up, another doctor came forward and repeated the same action.

Finally, the two exchanged opinions and then clasped their fists towards Jiang Huaishu.

"Don't worry, my Lord. Madam has only caught a cold. Her life is not in danger."

Jiang Huaishu was stunned: "Really?"

"I have been practicing medicine for decades and have examined the pulses of many patients. I will not be wrong."

"Okay, okay, there is a reward!" Jiang Huaishu nodded with a smile, happy from the bottom of his heart: "Wangshu, take the doctor down to receive the reward!"

Wangshu's eyes were red and swollen, and he had not yet recovered from the shock.

Hearing Jiang Huaishu's words, she looked at him blankly.

"My Lord, Madam... isn't she having a last gasp?"

"What last breath? Ah Rou just caught a cold and needs more rest." Jiang Huaishu waved his hand: "Don't dawdle, send the doctor out quickly."

"I will go right away!"

Wangshu wiped his tears with his sleeves and walked out with the doctor.

Although she had left the room, her soul remained inside.

Madam is fine. She won’t die, right?

That’s great!

Wangshu was very happy.

Her red and swollen eyes were narrowed due to her smile.

Yun Wanrou looked in the direction of the door, then turned to look at Jiang Huaishu.

"My Lord, what happened? Why is Wangshu crying so sadly?"

"You forgot that you went to see your mother just now and accidentally fell into the pond. Fortunately, Chu Qiu knew how to swim and saved you.

As for Wangshu... a quack doctor came just now and asked us to prepare for your funeral, and she got scared."
