Chapter 96: 88 Mother and Daughter (First Update)_2
Marquis Gu spoke coldly, “How do you explain Lady Gu’s sudden fainting?”
“This…” Doctor Chen couldn’t explain it, “Her Ladyship should be able to wake up soon, we can ask her to get the whole truth.”
Mada Fang lowered her head, her fingers slowly tightening into a fist.
Doctor Chen wrote a prescription, and Mada Fang took it and went to fetch the dicine from the pharmacy located in the villa.
Cuicui stealthily ca in through the back door while Mada Fang was preparing the dicine in the small kitchen.
“Auntie!”
Mada Fang glanced out warily, closed the door and asked her, “What brings you here?”
Cuicui spoke in a hushed voice, “Huang Zhong suddenly ca looking for Matron Fang, is there so kind of trouble?”
Mada Fang narrowed her eyes and said, “Her Ladyship has been taking dicine lately. She will be getting better soon!”
Cuicui blanched, shocked, “What? I thought… a slight provocation would trigger…”
Mada Yao had reacted negatively when stimulated previously, though her illness was not as grave then, she managed to survive a close call. Everything was supposed to go smooth this ti, unexpectedly…
“The Empress Dowager has sent a letter, requesting the Marquis to bring the young lady back to the capital for her coming-of-age ceremony. Since the young master’s health has improved, the Marquis will surely bring Lady Gu and the young master back.…” Mada Fang said, her cold eyes resting on the steaming dicinal decoction.
…
Huang Zhong went to Matron Fang’s house under a pretense and brought the Sick Matron Fang back to the villa.
The Marquis personally went to interrograte her in the study room.
Only two maids were left in the room.
Mada Fang, carrying a bowl of steaming soup, walked in and said, “It’s fine, I’ll look after this. You two go to the dining room and see if the porridge for her ladyship is ready, and do not forget to send the fruit the young miss wanted to the Orchid Pavilion”.
“Yes,” the two maids agreed and left.
The room was now devoid of any third person, and it was eerily quiet.
Mada Fang held the soup bowl, stepped slowly to the bedside and looked down at the peaceful sleeping Mada Yao. She said contemptuously, “My lady, don’t bla your maid, bla the person who doesn’t want you to return to Marquis Residence
She then pry opened Mada Yao’s jaw and spoon-fed her the dicine…
Today is the day for the follow-up appointnt of Gu Yan at Huichun Hall.
The second boss was not able to visit, Gu Jiao and the old doctor ca instead.
The two were directly escorted by Yu Ya to Gu Yan’s courtyard.
Gu Yan’s current condition was very stable, and as long as he continued the dication, he could live for another two or three years without any problem.
The little dog’s injury had also healed. It rembered Gu Jiao, and as she arrived from afar, it hurried towards her which ended up with him falling over and yelping in pain.
That reminded Gu Jiao of Xiao Jingkong, who always fell over.
“The dog’s house was broken last ti, let’s build another one,” Gu Yan calmly said.
Gu Jiao humd anomalously. The house she built was rock solid, how could it be broken?
The servants lowered their heads in unison, pretending to know nothing about the little master tearing down the dog house in the middle of the night.
“Alright then.” Gu Jiao accepted.
Making another one wouldn’t matter much.
Gu Jiao stayed with Gu Yan for two hours. It was only after building a brand-new dog house that she got up and left.
After leaving the villa, she visited Old Lady Li as usual.
During her visit to Old Lady Li, she spotted a mulberry tree and thought of Mada Yao. She planned to check on whether Mada Yao’s condition had improved.
However, Gu Jiao had been knocking at the door for quite a while and no one opened it.
Perhaps they were not at ho.
Or perhaps they were busy.
Gu Jiao decided to co again next ti.
Just as she was about to turn around, she caught a faint, distant groan of pain.
The groan was very soft and seed to co from afar. Ordinary people would not be able to hear it, but Gu Jiao had undergone training to recognise sounds in her past life, she needed to accurately discern breathing sounds amongst hundreds of different noises.
After she got this small body, her physical strength was not as good as before; however, it was slowly recovering.
The voice was that of Lady Gu’s.
Of this, Gu Jiao was certain.
Gu Jiao imdiately shot back a few steps, scaled the wall and leapt in without bothering whether the door was locked.
By the ti Gu Jiao reached Mada Yao’s room, only Mada Yao was left inside.
Mada Yao was lying unconscious on the bed, her face turning green, her forehead going dark, and her breath was extrely weak.
The room was filled with the strong sll of Chinese dicine, but there was no dicine bowl.
Gu Jiao found a few drops of not-yet-dried dicine juice on Mada Yao’s pillow, she bent over to sll it.
It was Wutou!
Wutou is a traditional Chinese dicine used to dispel cold and relieve pain, but it has its own toxic properties and wouldn’t be used frivolously. Since Mada Yao has a cold constitution, she would be absolutely prohibited from using Wutou.
Gu Jiao was not sure about how much Mada Yao had consud, but she certainly had to vomit it out at once!
