Chapter 1572: Contract with the Second Madam
“She was fine at first. She was just shocked. She recovered after resting for a night. However, because you caught a cold from saving her, I feel bad. Co, eat more.”
As they spoke, Tong Shuitao stood at the door and whispered, “Miss, Young Master, Second Madam is here.”
Gu Yundong looked outside. Shao Qingyuan put on a shirt for her and went out to brew dicine for her.
The Second Madam ca in in a hurry and looked at her from head to toe. “Are you alright? Do you still have a fever?”
“It’s fine. The fever has completely subsided.”
The Second Madam heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. Her eyes were filled with apology. “I implicated you and caused you to fall seriously ill.”
“I’m fine. It’s just a fever.”
“That’s still uncomfortable. No one feels comfortable when they’re sick.”
Her tone was filled with self-bla. Gu Yundong did not want her to be trapped in guilt, so she simply changed the topic and asked, “Second Madam, how’s the investigation on the incident of falling into the water yesterday?”
“There was no progress.” The Second Madam shook her head. “My husband said that looking at the traces by the lake, it did seem like I had accidentally slipped and fallen. Moreover, I did have a relapse at that ti. I can’t even rember what happened before I fell into the water. Perhaps my uneasiness at that ti was an illusion.”
Gu Yundong did not believe in illusions for no reason. She believed that it was an intuition, an instinctive reaction to danger.
However, without any evidence, she could not wrongly accuse soone for no reason.
However, from the looks of it, there were also so demons and monsters in the huge Bai Manor.
“You forget things every ti you have a relapse? Why?”
The Second Madam shook her head, and her expression suddenly changed. In a low voice, she said, “Perhaps… it’s a little painful and I don’t want to rember it.”
Painful??
Gu Yundong originally wanted to ask more, but when she saw her like this and heard her words, she imdiately stopped.
This lady had already said that she was in pain. If Gu Yundong continued to ask, it would be poking at soone’s wound. She would not know how to appreciate kindness.
However, even Divine Physician Bai was helpless against the Second Madam’s illness. It seed like it was really serious.
After she left, Gu Yundong asked Mrs. Feng, “Why did Second Madam fall ill?”
Mrs. Feng shook her head. “I’ve only been in the Bai Manor for fifteen to sixteen years, so I don’t know much. The Second Madam’s illness seems to have been there since twenty years ago. Every year, it will flare up once every two months. During the period of the illness, she will be muddle-headed and won’t listen to anyone. After she recovers, she will forget what happened before the illness. Even the old master can’t do anything about this situation. However, it’s said that the Second Madam’s illness is a ntal illness.”
A ntal illness?
It was no wonder that Divine Physician Bai was helpless.
It must have been sothing very painful that caused her illness to flare up every day for twenty years.
Gu Yundong felt terrible just thinking about it.
However, this was the Bai family’s matter. Although Gu Yundong had so ties with the Bai family, it was not appropriate for her to interfere in their matters.
However, she did not expect that since that day, the Second Madam would co to look for her almost every day.
She liked to chat with Gu Yundong. Occasionally, she would bring her to the Danggui Courtyard for tea and even give her so of her personal treasures.
Second Madam was not good at anything else, but she had good culinary skills. The food she made was beautiful and delicious.
Coincidentally, Gu Yundong also knew so strange pastry recipes. Their communication beca smooth and harmonious.
