Gu Qingning was the first to react. With quick eyes and hands, she grabbed Madam Bai.
"She's not in good health. What's going on?" Gu Qingning's expression was filled with worry. "She has a serious underlying condition. She's had nephritis for a long time, and now it has spread to her entire kidney. It's very likely to lead to renal failure or even uremia. Have you noticed this before?"
Mr. Bai was stunned. He never thought that he had just recovered from his illness, but his old wife actually collapsed?
"How could that be? I took her to the hospital a few days ago and had a full-body checkup. We even took blood tests. The doctor told me there's nothing wrong with her..."
Mr. Bai's voice became lower and lower.
He seemed to realize something and his eyes suddenly widened.
"What's going on?" Gu Qingning sensitively caught this.
Mr. Bai's face was ashen. "I just remembered that we had the examination at the same hospital where I was hospitalized. This means that this examination report was very likely tampered with by that Head Nurse Zhao. I thought she only wanted to harm me, but I didn't expect that she had already reached out to my family!"
If it was just to harm him, he wouldn't think it was that scary.
But if anyone dares to touch his family, he will never forgive that person!
Gu Qingning took a deep breath. "This disease wasn't serious at first, but it will only get worse if it's delayed. The old lady should have shown some symptoms a few days ago, right?"
Mr. Bai nodded with difficulty.
If he had noticed it earlier, the disease would never have developed to such a serious level.
He was filled with self-blame for a moment, wishing he could suffer in her place.
"Is this illness serious? Should we rush to the hospital?" Mr. Bai was now anxious and panicked, and had lost all his judgment.
"Luckily, I have some medicine here. Come on, help me lay her down. I'll feed her this medicine, and she'll get better!"
Several people around didn't believe what he said.
Especially Lu Qizhen and Zhu Lan.
"Why don't we rush the old lady to the hospital? We shouldn't blindly take medicine. If something really happens, wouldn't it be a lifelong regret?"
Zhu Lan also gave advice with good intentions, frowning slightly beside him.
Madam Lu was very confident: "Qing Ning's medical skills are very good. I used to have angina and migraines, and I relied on the pills she gave me to recover little by little. Now, my health is much better than before."
Gu Qingning took out a pill and put it directly into Mrs. Bai's mouth.
888 was shocked.
"Gu Qingning, you prodigal son, what are you planning to do? This medicine is for you to save your life!"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm still young and strong. I have two pills. One for my father and one for Old Madam Bai. May they live a few more years in good health!"
"What if something happens to you? What if something happens to your man? You just use this medicine?"
888 was of course reluctant to do so, but he couldn't stop it.
"You have to know that I begged for this elixir for a long time. If you want to practice this elixir, you need to practice for at least another five years. If anything goes wrong with you during these five years, you will die!"
Gu Qingning didn't care: "It's okay. If I really have a problem, I believe you will help me find medicine, right?"
888 was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot, but there was nothing he could do.
"Okay, okay, go ahead and show off. I don't care about you anymore!"
After saying that, it disconnected in anger.
Gu Qingning quickly fed the pill to the old lady.
I have to say that this pill is indeed very strong. Mrs. Bai woke up after just ten minutes of taking it.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Old Madam Bai nodded gently, squinting her eyes, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
She struggled to get up, but was held down by Old Man Bai.
"You haven't fully recovered yet, why are you getting up again? If you get excited later, you might lose your life!"
Mr. Bai refused to let her get up.
But she insisted: "I have something else to do, and it must be resolved today!"
She ignored the old man's attempts to stop her and was as stubborn as he was.
Seeing her come out, Mrs. Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jinghe, are you okay..."
"Thanks to you, I'm not going to die." Old Lady Bai interrupted her coldly and continued the previous topic.
"I didn't blame you for my daughter's death. Although you also have the responsibility of not raising your child well, I adopted Bai Huan, so don't I also have a responsibility?
I just thought that you, as a son, are too irresponsible, and that Bai Huan is obviously a person who despises the poor and loves the rich. As long as you drive Lu Hongjun out, Bai Huan will definitely leave him immediately. But what about you? You cried and begged me, saying that Bai Huan is pregnant with your Lu family's child, and you really can't bear to see them and their child living outside. Have you ever thought about how painful and helpless our Xiao Jing was when she died? You only care about yourself!
Old Madam Bai closed her eyes in despair.
Madam Lu also burst into tears: "Jinghe, I was too soft-hearted back then. I thought about how my son didn't grow up with me, but in a distant relative's house in the countryside, where he was bullied. I didn't take him home until he was 12 years old. At that time, he was covered in dirt and was as thin as a monkey. I felt so uncomfortable at that moment. I really am an incompetent mother!
I swore at that time that I must be good to this son! You also know that I felt sorry for this son and owed him something, so I couldn't really be cruel to him.
I know that no matter who the real murderer of Xiaojing was, Lu Hongjun couldn't escape the blame, and I was also one of the people who killed Xiaojing! If I hadn't been so doting on my son, he wouldn't have done such a thing, wouldn't have let Xiaojing down, and he wouldn't have let you down.
Now, I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope that what I did can make you feel a little more comfortable, even if it's just a little bit."
Old Madam Bai glanced at her and said nothing in the end.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
When the two were young, they were friends who were willing to die for each other.
Madam Bai trembled and said, "Do you still remember? Back then, we walked through snow-capped mountains and grasslands. We made it through such a harsh environment. But I never thought that after all the hardships, we would end up with this result!"
Both of them were female heroes who went to the battlefield to defend their country.
The reason they are able to have their current status is definitely not because they married a good husband, but because they made real contributions to the country in the past.
This feeling is so precious.
