Chapter 693: First Madam Is Dead

Xia Tao quickly bowed. “Hello, Third Miss.”

Yu Jianjia said hoarsely, “Miss Xia Tao, there’s no need to be so polite. What instructions does Eldest Sister have?”

Xia Tao quickly shook her head. “Third Miss, you’re being too serious. My young miss heard that Third Miss was not feeling well, so she ordered me to come over and take a look.”

Yu Jianjia coughed twice again before saying, “Every time the seasons change, my body has to go through some trouble. It was only because I felt hot last night that I took off my blanket. When I woke up in the morning, I was still fine. At noon, my body couldn’t move anymore. I’ve already asked Divine Physician Xie to take a look. I just caught a cold. I’ll be fine after taking a few sets of medicine and recuperating for a few days. Don’t let Eldest Sister worry.”

Xia Tao finally heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that Third Miss is fine,”

Yu Jianjia said, “It’s also because my health isn’t good enough and I can’t share Eldest Sister’s burden. Eldest Sister has just recovered from a serious illness. Please take care of yourself.”

When Xia Tao returned to An Shou Hall, she recounted what had happened in the courtyard.

Hui Xiang wanted to send Old Madam Lai back!

Yu Jianjia was really sick!

Yu Youyao’s expression was very serious. Next, no matter what happened in the Yu Residence, it would not implicate an old woman who had left the residence and Yu Jianjia.

Seeing that Young Miss’ expression was amiss, Xia Tao said, “Young Miss, I keep feeling that something is wrong with Old Madam Lai. Are we going to let her leave the residence?”

Yu Youyao immediately felt conflicted. No matter what was wrong with Old Madam Lai, as long as she was captured and handcuffed and interrogated, everything would be clear. If she knew what Yu Jianjia was plotting, she would be more guarded.

However, her rationality told her not to do this.

If Yu Jianjia really wanted to make a big fuss about her mother’s reputation, as her daughter, she couldn’t act rashly.

Before Yu Jianjia could show her fox tail, she had already panicked. Instead, she had become the one who felt “guilty.” When Yu Jianjia returned the favor, she would have no way to defend herself. It would be disadvantageous to her biological mother.

This was not something a young lady who had yet to get married should get involved in. Even her biological mother would be in the wrong the more she got involved.

It would be more legitimate to leave it to the Xie family to handle.

After figuring this out, Yu Youyao took a deep breath. “Hurry up and ask when the Xie family will enter the capital.”

Old Madam Lai and Hui Xiang left the residence at half past four in the afternoon.

Nanny Li had been guarding the front courtyard for a long time. As soon as Yu Zongzheng entered the residence, she quickly rushed over and knelt in front of him, crying. “Master, you’re finally back…”

When the servants nearby heard the commotion, they couldn’t help but glance sideways.

“Who are you?” Yu Zongzheng was shocked. He did not recognize that this old woman, who had lost most of her gray hair and her weight, was actually Nanny Li, who served beside Yang Shuwan.

Nanny Li cried, “I’m Nanny Li, who works for First Madam!”

Yu Zongzheng frowned and his expression immediately darkened. “First Madam’s health isn’t good. Why aren’t you serving her well? Why did you come to the front courtyard?”

With that, he took a detour to leave.

Nanny Li suddenly pounced over and hugged Yu Zongzhengs leg, not letting him leave. “Master, First Madam, she… she can’t take it anymore. She keeps muttering about Master. Go and meet her. After all, you and First Madam are husband and wife. A day as husband and wife means a hundred days of kindness. Please see First Madam one last time, Master…

Hearing Nanny Li say that Madam Yang was dying, Yu Zongzheng couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

In the past, he had felt guilty towards Madam Yang and looked down on her. However, in the end, she had still married into the family.

But now, this guilt had become humiliation and a stain in his life.

He did not want to see Madam Yang.

However, Madam Yang was still his legitimate wife in name. With Nanny Li causing such a commotion in public, if he did not see Madam Yang one last

time, it would inevitably be exposed.

In the end, Yu Zongzheng still went to the Tranquil Heart Residence with Nanny Li.

Yang Shuwan leaned against the big pillow, still looking thin and withered. However, when she saw Yu Zongzheng, two unnatural lumps of red appeared on her ashen face, as if spring had arrived for her. She immediately perked up.

Is this an illusion?!

“You’re here!” Yang Shuwan grinned.

Yu Zongzheng simply couldn’t believe that the skinny and withered person in front of him was Yang Shuwan. He couldn’t help but think of Yang Shuwan’s charming appearance in the past. He looked incredulous. “You, how did you become like this?”

Yang Shuwan did not seem to hear this. “Yu Zongzheng, I’m going to die.” Yu Zongzhengs expression darkened and he said nothing.

Yang Shuwan did not mind. “l know you can’t wait for me to die sooner.

However, when a person is about to die, their words are kind…”

The door between the East Mansion and the West Mansion was blocked. If Bi Tao wanted to go to the Second Mansion, she could only take a detour and get in through the back door.

When Old Madam Ma saw Bi Tao running over in a panic, she asked while watching from the sidelines, “Oh, isn’t this Miss Bi Tao? Why aren’t you serving First Madam? Why did you run to the back door?”

Bi Tao hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed a bag of money into her hands. “First Madam can’t take it anymore. She wants to see Second Madam and asked me to invite her over. I’ll need a favor from you.”

Old Madam Ma was stunned for a moment. In name, Eldest Madam Yang was still the mistress of the residence. She was about to die. If she wanted to see Second Madam, she naturally couldn’t stop her.

Old Madam Ma quickly opened the door. “Miss Bi Tao, come back quickly.”

Bi Tao was extremely grateful. Without hesitation, she ran to the Second Mansion to look for Madam Yao and explained her intentions.

Madam Yao was puzzled, but she did not show it on her face. She said, “I’ll quickly change my clothes first.”

No matter how anxious Bi Tao was, she couldn’t let Second Madam go to the main house in this outfit. It would be too rude, so she could only nod in agreement.

Madam Yao immediately entered the inner room. Nanny Qian did not dare to delay and instructed the maidservants in the room to quickly help Second Madam put on her clothes.

The more Madam Yao thought about it, the more confused she felt. She couldn’t help but ask, “Madam Yangs illness is very serious. After enduring for so many years, it’s finally over. I still feel quite uncomfortable being a sister-in-law.” At this point, she couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s just that our relationship wasn’t very good in the past, and we weren’t close. In the past two years, Matriarch has been far away from the Second Mansion and hasn’t even interacted much. Why did she suddenly want to see me?”

Nanny Qian quickly combed Madam Yao’s hair. “Who knows what First

Madam is thinking? Perhaps she’s worried about Third Miss and Fourth

Young Master and wants you, as an aunt, to take care of them. Aunts are also half a mother.” At this point, she sighed. “Fourth Young Master is still young, and Third Miss’ health isn’t very good. Matriarch is also sick, and her heart is only biased towards Eldest Miss. In the future, Third Miss and Fourth Young Master’s lives…

She didn’t finish the sentence.

As a servant, she shouldn’t judge her master rashly..
