Soon, Marquis Wu'an entered the house first, carrying Youyou.
"What happened? Wasn't everything fine before?" Marquis Wu'an walked in and asked in a stern voice.
“Doctor Cao said it was a stroke caused by liver qi stagnation,” Shen Nian explained.
Xia Tian was afraid that Marquis Wu'an would think that they had angered the old lady, so he quickly added, "Dad, the prince and I came to pay our respects to Grandmother. Grandmother probably saw the prince and thought of Fourth Brother, so she got angry and ended up saying that Chen Ke was unfilial. Then, she became angry and suddenly acted like this."
Xia Tian decided to still put the blame on Chen Ke. After all, there was no one else in the room except Nanny Zhang and Mu Jin.
Moreover, if they confronted each other, she was indeed the one who brought up Chen Ke. Others would not know that she did it on purpose and would only think that the old lady had suffered a stroke because she was sad and depressed about Chen Ke.
Nanny Zhang looked at Xia Tian calmly without saying anything.
Marquis Wu'an knitted his brows together and asked in a cold tone, "What about Doctor Cao? Where is he?"
The old lady is like this, but no one has appeared yet.
"Doctor Cao went out to get medicine." Xia Tian quickly said again.
Youyou, who was in Marquis Wu'an's arms, saw Xia Tian and shouted, "Ah! Ah! Ah!" and reached out for her to hug him.
Marquis Wu’an took the opportunity to hand Youyou to Shen Nian.
He walked forward and leaned over to look at the old lady. "Mother, how are you? Didn't I tell you all this long ago? That rebellious son, Chen Ke, is not worthy of being a member of our Shen family. He has already been expelled from the clan and is no longer a member of our Shen family. How can you still vent your anger on the eldest brother?"
Marquis Wu'an thought that they couldn't have mentioned Chen Ke for no reason, and it must be that his mother took her anger out on Chen Nian because of Chen Ke.
Ever since he saw clearly what kind of person Shen Ke was, he could understand Shen Nian's previous actions. Moreover, although he, as the boss, had fought back, he was still relatively kind and always left Shen Ke a way to survive.
So this time it must have been his mother who started it.
Originally, Xia Tian was worried that Marquis Wu'an would suspect that they had made the old lady sick and would get angry.
I didn’t expect that Marquis Wu’an would automatically imagine it!
Now they don’t even need to explain!
The old lady was already so angry that she couldn't move or speak because of what happened in the previous summer.
Now she was even more furious when she heard that her own son was actually blaming her.
The old lady waved her left hand, which was able to move, and grabbed the clothes on Wu'an Hou's chest with all her strength. She made a whining sound and her eyes were full of anger.
Seeing her mother still acting like this even now, Marquis Wu An became even more unhappy. "Mother, please calm down for a while. You not only have Chen Ke as your grandson, but also Chen Nian and Chen Rui. They are all your grandchildren."
Marquis Wu'an thought that the old lady still couldn't let go of Chen Ke, and still blamed him for driving Chen Ke out of the house, so she was angry.
But Xia Tian knew very well that the old lady was accusing her to Marquis Wu'an. Unfortunately, she could not speak, so naturally others could not understand what she meant.
Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this matter would no longer be blamed on them.
Not long after Marquis Wu'an came in, the second master and his wife, the third master and his wife, and some grandsons, granddaughters, and grandsons' wives all got the news and rushed over.
"Oh, what happened?" The third lady looked distressed and came over to look at the old lady.
"I thought of Chen Ke and got angry and had a stroke." Xia Tian answered the doubts of the people in the room.
"Oh, what should we do?" The Third Lady stamped her feet. "This Chen Ke is such a plague! He's disappeared, and he even caused my mother to have a stroke and become paralyzed."
The Third Madam saw that the old lady kept opening and closing her mouth but could not utter a word, so she asked in confusion, "Mother can't speak anymore?"
Xia Tian nodded silently.
"Oh, mother, what should we do?" The third lady grabbed the old lady's trembling left hand and began to cry.
It was as if the old lady was dead!
Although the old lady had suffered a stroke, she understood everything in her heart. Looking at the third daughter-in-law lying on her and crying, she kept cursing "idiot!" in her heart.
This idiot, she just had a stroke, she's not dead, what's all this noise?
No brains at all!
And all the children in this room actually believed what that dead girl said. When did they become sick because of Chen Ke's anger?
The old lady closed her eyes, not wanting to see these idiots again!
The others expressed their concern for her, and seeing that the old lady had closed her eyes, they thought she was tired and left.
Only Marquis Wu'an, the second master and second wife, the third master and third wife, and Chen Nianxia and his wife stayed in the house.
The old lady is ill, so someone must be arranged to take care of her.
"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, I'm going to trouble you to take care of me during this period." Wu Anhou said, "Also, I'm going to trouble you to take care of the housekeeping matters. I really can't help it."
"Got it, big brother!"
The second wife also knew that she would have to take responsibility for this matter, so she agreed without hesitation.
Originally, since Liu was no longer around, the affairs should have been handed over to Xia Tian, the Crown Prince's wife, but she knew that Xia Tian would not be able to stay for long, and the Marquis' Mansion could not be left without a housekeeper.
As for taking care of the sick, it was the daughter-in-law's job, and she and the third lady could not refuse.
After the tasks were divided, several people came out first.
Marquis Wu'an called Shen Nian away.
Xia Tian took Youyou and returned to Jinglan Garden first.
Although the old lady was ill, the second lady still prepared several tables of wine and food in the evening to welcome Shen Nian and Xia Tian.
