Chapter 322 The Third Young Master is dying!
Mo Liyuan remained silent, just sitting quietly. After a moment, the Queen Mother sighed, "You, don't make things too awkward with your brother. He is still your brother after all."
Mo Liyuan looked at the Queen Mother with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Mother, you should tell my brother this. Yue'er is my bottom line, a bottom line that cannot be touched."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh. Her two sons really gave her a headache. But forget it, she was old and couldn't take care of them anymore.
Mo Liyuan turned his gaze to Mo Yifan who was standing beside him, "Send my mother back to the palace."
The Queen Mother's eyes widened. "I've just left the palace. Don't go back! I'll be living in your Prince Regent's Mansion for the next few days!"
Mo Liyuan's eyes darkened, "Mother..."
"What? Ai Jia's words don't work?"
Mo Liyuan said lightly: "If the Queen Mother wants to live in the Regent's Palace, then follow her." He said this lightly, and then ordered the servants to clean up the Jingfeng Pavilion in the backyard for the Queen Mother to live in.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, finally satisfied.
In the evening, the lights in the Duke of Protector's Mansion were bright. At dinner time, the family sat together in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
The old lady's face was filled with smiles, her eyes filled with love and doting. She gently patted the back of Lan Xiyue's hand and said, "Yuer, when I know you're getting married, I'm sure you're both happy and worried. I've specially prepared a generous dowry for you, and will have it delivered to your residence tomorrow."
Lan Xiyue's lips curled up slightly when she heard this. "Grandma, the house is already piled high with the betrothal gifts Mo Liyuan sent. I'm afraid there's no room for more."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's smile widened, her eyes filled with doting. "How can that be? My Yue'er deserves the best. Don't worry, Grandmother has already had the mansion next door purchased. Tomorrow, I'll have the dowry delivered to your mansion next door, and then I'll have them connect the two mansions. This way, your mansion will be much more spacious."
Lan Xiyue listened to the old lady's words and nodded gently, "Thank you, grandma."
Yun Yiyi, standing by, pouted and rubbed her chopsticks in the bowl with an unhappy look on her face. She said dissatisfiedly, "Grandma, you are too partial! Lan Xiyue is just an outsider, and you still prepared so much dowry for her."
Upon hearing this, Qin glared at Yun Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, how can you say that? Yueyue is your cousin, we are all family, what's the difference between an outsider and a non-outsider? Apologize to Yueyue!"
Yun Yiyi, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly put down her chopsticks and said angrily, "Humph! I'm not apologizing! She severed ties with the Marquis of Wuguo Mansion, so why should our Huguo Mansion prepare a dowry for her? This is unfair!"
Seeing this, the old lady's face instantly darkened. She spoke sternly, her eyes revealing a hint of displeasure: "Yiyi! What are you talking about? Yueyue is your cousin, so how can she be an outsider? Look at what you look like now? You don't have the demeanor of a lady from a noble family at all!"
Yun Yiyi was speechless after being scolded by the old lady. She glared at Lan Xiyue, and her anger and unwillingness turned into a resolute figure. She stood up and ran out.
Qin looked at Yun Yiyi's departing back and shook her head helplessly. She turned to look at Lan Xiyue, her eyes full of apology: "Yueyue, Yiyi is ignorant. Don't bother with her. Later, your aunt will teach her a lesson and make her apologize to you."
The old lady's tone was filled with reproach: "Yi Yi is not a child anymore, yet she still acts so willfully. As a mother, you should discipline her properly."
Upon hearing this, Qin responded softly.
At this moment, a servant hurried into the hall with a panicked look on his face. "Oh no! Old Duke, Old Madam, the Third Young Master is dying!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
The old Duke's eyes instantly became sharp. He stared at the servant and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? What happened to Hua'er?"
When Liu heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She stood up suddenly, not even caring about her manners, and hurried towards Yun Hua's yard.
The others also lost their appetite and stood up and followed closely behind him.
As soon as the group arrived at Yunhua's yard, they heard Liu's heart-wrenching cry.
The old Duke glanced around and saw the courtyard filled with servants and maids kneeling, all with terrified expressions. He shouted angrily, "What's going on?"
A servant trembled as he whispered, "Reply, reply to the old Duke, the Third Young Master was infected with syphilis a few days ago..."
When these words came out, everyone gasped. Venereal disease? What should we do?
The group walked into the house. Lan Xiyue supported the old lady by her side. The old lady looked at the pale Yun Hua lying on the bed. When the old lady saw Yun Hua dying on the bed, she could no longer hold back her tears, and they fell softly. "Hua'er, I was wondering why I hadn't seen you these days. It turns out you have this illness." She turned to look at Liu, her tone filled with anger and disappointment. "You are so good, Liu. You said Hua'er was sad because of Rou'er's death and refused to leave the house. It turns out that Hua'er has this shameful illness and is hiding in the house and dare not see anyone!"
Liu's face was already in tears. She knelt on the ground, her voice choked with sobs: "Father, Mother, Hua'er is my only son. Please save him."
Upon hearing this, the old Duke couldn't help but sigh. He looked at Liu, his eyes full of reproach: "If you hadn't spoiled him so much, how could Hua'er have contracted this disease? It's true that a loving mother spoils her child."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into dead silence.
Liu was sobbing uncontrollably. She knelt and crawled in front of the old lady, tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, and begged, "Mother, I know I was wrong. Please save Hua'er."
Lan Xiyue patted the old lady on the back and said, "Grandma, don't worry."
The old lady's eyes were red, and she couldn't help sobbing. "The second son is still stationed at that distant border, serving his country loyally. He is such a dear child to me. If he knew Hua'er's current state, he would be so heartbroken."
Mrs. Liu looked at Lan Xiyue, her face streaked with tears, her voice filled with endless pleading, "Yueyue, it was all because of Second Aunt's greed that she did such foolish things. Please, for the sake of our family, please ask Yao Lao to come and save Hua'er. He's really dying, and Second Aunt can't live without him."
Lan Xiyue helped Liu up, "Second aunt, get up quickly."
However, Mrs. Liu refused to get up, clutching Lan Xiyue's sleeve tightly as if it was her only lifeline. "Yueyue, Second Aunt is really begging you. I was confused before because I believed Yun Qing's slander. Now she has received retribution. Please forgive Second Aunt this time."
