"Grandma, don't get excited. The second and third uncles have gone out to inquire about the news. They will probably be back soon." Jin Linlin gently stroked the old lady's back and comforted her softly.
Cao Jiao stayed in Gu's room, having the doctor take her pulse, while Zhuang went to arrange matters at the mansion. The Duke's arrest was like a huge rock dropped into water, sending shockwaves through the mansion. Everyone was in a state of panic, like frightened birds on a tether. Zhuang had to comfort everyone in the mansion while also ordering the doors to be locked and warning everyone not to wander around during this critical period.
From the west wing of the Gu family's residence, a heart-wrenching cry erupted, its intensity breaking. The old lady, terrified, shivered like an autumn leaf in the cold wind. She clutched Jin Linlin's hand tightly, her voice trembling as she asked, "What happened? Why is your sister-in-law like this?"

Jin Linlin was stunned when she heard this. She wondered, "How could this be a stroke?" Elderly people suffer from strokes. Alas!
It was truly unpredictable. Mrs. Gu's child had to be lost at this very moment, and the old lady had been implicated as well. Was it really fate playing tricks on her? She raised her hand helplessly, waving it off, signaling the doctor to quickly prescribe medicine.
