After A4rs. Cui thanked everyone, she immediately asked the butler to take the silver to buy the medicine they needed.
Madam Cui, who had rushed over after hearing the news, saw her son’s pale face and lifeless body. She swayed and almost fell; fortunately, she was supported by her maidservant, who was beside her.
Seeing this, Mrs. Cui immediately went forward to help her sit down and said, “Mother-in-law, please relax. The doctor said that Shicheng’s main problem is that his heart is weakening from shock. He has already undergone some acupuncture.”
“What kind of sin do you think we’ve committed? Sigh, I wonder what’s targeting us. Oh right, where are Wanning and Wanyu?” Madam Cui asked.
“Their father had fallen ill in bed because of this family. Why aren’t they here to even visit him?”
“Wanyu is helping me to take stock of the losses in the residence. As for Wanning, I heard that she went out early in the morning.” Mrs. Cui said.
“Vile, such a terrible thing happened at home, but she still has the mood to go out and play.”
Mrs. Chui’s eyes flashed, and she spat with a sinister look. “I guess she probably went to the Gu residence.”
She knew very well that even though the Yang family and their son had taken advantage of the Gu family, they had never truly accepted Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu was particularly despised by her aunt, Madam Cui. She had no kinship with Mrs. Gu and even deeply despised her.
She hated Mrs. Gu for acting so high and mighty, as if she couldn’t even bear looking at her for once.
Another thing was that when Yang Shicheng was conferring the imperial mandate, he gave it to the Gu family to please them, and not his mother.
It destroyed her dream of being the Matriarch for many years, and she lost face in front of the other old ladies in the various residences.
Therefore, as long as Mrs. Cui associated the Gu family with Yang Wanning, Madam Cui would definitely hate Yang Wanning even more.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Madam Cui’s face immediately darkened. She growled, “Send someone to bring her back. How could a girl who’s about to get married go out every day?”
“Yes, I will send someone over now.” Mrs. Cui smiled and sent someone to the Gu residence to look for Yang Wanning.
Soon, the medicine was brought back, and Yang Shicheng woke up.
After drinking the medicine, he lay on the bed and exhaled. It seemed that there was something stuck in his throat.
“Son, even if we lose our wealth, we can slowly get it back.
“We still have our manors and shops, so we will be able to survive no matter what.” Madam Cui said.
“Yes, master. We can still withdraw some silver from the cloth shop. Don’t be too worried.” Mrs. Cui Shi echoed, but she was also deeply anxious.
Not only had they lost their family fortune, but they had also lost the betrothal gifts sent by the First Prince. With the day of her daughter’s wedding approaching, how could she get married in glory?
The following days weren’t looking good.
Thinking of this, she started to curse Mrs. Gu. That’s right; she assumed that the Yang residence had been emptied by Mrs. Gu, who had come to demand her life yesterday.
Otherwise, who could take everything away without leaving a trace?
However, this idea was too ridiculous. Even if she said it out loud, no one would believe her.
At that moment, Yang Wanyu walked in with a bitter face and an account book. “Relax, how can I relax? Our residence has nothing but food now. What about my dowry?
“You couldn’t possibly ask me to carry a few loads of grain over as my dowry.”
After saying that, she wiped her tears hurriedly and was deeply terrified.
She probably couldn’t even gather six sets of dowries with their situation..
