"Young Master Zhu, the Third Prince specifically instructed that no outsiders are allowed into Yunquan Manor, especially in the back mountain..."
As soon as Granny Cao finished speaking, Young Master Zhu gave her a cold glance, and Granny Cao immediately dared not say another word.
"Go, bring him to the main hall."
"yes."
Granny Cao quickly approached Su Ruojin and her entourage: "Miss Su, the steward requests your presence."
Su Ruojin raised an eyebrow. Interesting. She hadn't told this old woman that her surname was Su before.
It seems that someone was already waiting for them.
When Zhu Chao saw Su Ruojin, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he wore a refined smile: "I was unaware of your presence, esteemed guest. I have failed to greet you properly."
"Butler Zhu, where is my grandmother? I need to see her." Su Ruojin was too lazy to beat around the bush with him.
"The old lady has just taken her medicine and fallen asleep. Miss Su must be tired from traveling so far. Why don't you have a cup of tea and rest for a while? It won't be too late to visit the old lady when she wakes up."
"Butler Zhu, if you don't take me, I can find it myself." With that, Su Ruojin turned to leave.
Zhu Chao was not in a hurry and said with a smile, "Miss Su really misses the old lady. Granny Cao, please take Miss Su to the old lady's room."
"Yes, Miss Su, this way please." Granny Cao gestured for her to enter.
Su Ruojin followed them into a room, and upon opening the door, she smelled a medicinal odor.
Looking up, the old lady was indeed lying on the bed, motionless, seemingly asleep.
Su Ruojin hurried to the bedside and looked at the old lady's pale face and thin body, her nose felt a little sore.
She quickly took the old lady's wrist; the pulse was weak and thready, a clear sign of dementia.
"Grandmother, what's wrong with you?"
I thought my grandmother had returned to her long-cherished hometown and finally put an end to her homesickness.
Unexpectedly, after only a short period of time apart, my grandmother developed dementia.
Su Ruojin simply did not believe that her grandmother had really been frightened by some evil spirit.
In this world, sometimes the human heart is more terrifying than a ghost.
"Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely wake you up." Su Ruojin fed the old lady a pill.
She turned to Granny Cao and said, "Granny, I am a doctor, and I want to take my grandmother away."
Granny Cao looked troubled: "Miss Su, this won't do. The old lady is a member of the Zhao family; how can she be taken away so easily?"
Su Ruojin looked coldly at Granny Cao: "If you can't make the decision, call someone who can."
Just then, Zhu Chao's voice came from the doorway: "Miss Su, in the entire Yuncheng, there is no place more suitable for the old lady to recuperate than Yunquan Manor."
If Miss Su is worried, she can stay at Yunquan Manor to take care of the old lady. The manor has all kinds of medicinal herbs. What do you think?
Su Ruojin agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll stay."
Su Yiting was not comfortable leaving Su Ruojin alone, so he said, "Little sister, I'll stay with you."
After saying this, Su Yiting stared intently at Zhu Chao.
If Zhu Chao dared to refuse, Su Yiting was determined to have the old lady snatched out of Yunquan Manor.
"There are plenty of rooms in the villa. Young Master Su and everyone else are welcome to stay. It's entirely up to you," Zhu Chao said, showing no sign of unease.
Zhu Chao seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, right, I suppose you all encountered the Bagua Illusion Array at the entrance when you entered the manor. That's what the manor uses to defend against outsiders. Anyone who enters the manor will trigger the array. It's not targeted at you, please forgive me."
"I will arrange for someone to prepare rooms for everyone. If Miss Su needs anything, please feel free to ask Granny Cao. I won't disturb you any longer." After saying this, Zhu Chao turned and left the room.
Granny Cao also withdrew.
After everyone had left, Su Yiting asked, "Little sister, don't you find it strange?"
