Chapter 391 Took Care of the Sick.

Su He took Jiang Yashuang’s order, going out of the mansion to ask Qiu Qian about the matter. But she had to go back before she left. She told Qiu Yelan that Madame Zhuang vomited blood and fainted. Her mother-in-law was in poor health. As a daughter-in-law, she could not enjoy delicious foods cozily to prevent miscarriage. She went to visit Madame Zhuang with her maids right away.

By this time, the doctor had arrived. The servants stood around her. The atmosphere in the room was tense. Seeing Madame Zhuang lying in a daze on the bed, he was trembling as he felt Mrs. Zhuang’s pulse. Jiang Yashuang looked after his mother in front of her bed. When he saw his wife coming, he went up to her with a slight frown and asked her in a low voice, “What brings you here? Don’t force yourself. I can take care of our mother.”

“I’m fine. She even needs a doctor. I have to be here.” Qiu Yelan bit her lips, “What’s the matter with our mother?”

“I think she was so upset about my sister’s death and had to return home in a rush, which made her ill.” Jiang Yashuang sighed, asking her to sit down, “After listening to the news, please go home. Be good and don’t make me entangled at both of you!”

There were a lot of people around them at that time. And everyone was watching them. Qiu Yelan was not convenient to tell him that the baby was fine. So, she had to promise him. The couple sat across from each other. They were serious. The servants grew more and more alarmed at their looks. And the atmosphere almost froze.

A few moments later the doctor almost held his breath when he stopped. Jiang Yashuang stood up right away, “What’s my mother’s condition?”

“Madame Zhuang must have been in a hurry…” The doctor’s expression was grave as he spoke his diagnosis carefully. Qiu Yelan could not understand long paragraphs of technical terms. While she was trying to understand, there was a noise outside. A few moments later, the blushed Jiang Yazhu and Sheng Shishui came in timidly, “We have just received the news that mother is sick, so…”

Jiang Yashuang was urgent to know his mother’s condition. So, he had no patience to hear their explanation. He waved his hand to ask them to come in and then he gestured for the doctor to go on.

The doctor explained for a while. The conclusion was consistent with Qiu Yelan’s conjecture. The loss of her daughter in her middle age was a significant blow, while Madame Zhuang was so hot-tempered that she could not bear any grievance. In addition, she was so irritated when she hurried on her way back day and night. When she met her son, she was very excited. It was inevitable that she would get sick!

Seeing Jiang Yashuang was unsatisfied, the doctor said, “It is lucky for her to get sick. Otherwise, if the disease remained dormant and erupted later, it could be…” It could be fatal!

Jiang Yashuang frowned, “So does this sick matter?”

“As long as she does not worry and gets better, she should be all right.” The doctor emphasized the term “not worry”. Madame Zhuang was in good health before she was ill. Otherwise, she couldn’t have supervised her husband for so many years in Beijiang. But after all, she was old enough to be a grandmother. So, the doctor couldn’t affirm. If something went wrong with her, he would get into trouble.

“Make a prescription!” Jiang Yashuang said anxiously.

Jiang Yashuang asked a servant to take the doctor to the study to make the prescription. He then turned to Jiang Yazhu, “Why are you so late?”

“We came as soon as we heard that the doctor was called!” Sheng was still calm, while Jiang Yazhu was uneven. “But I did not expect that we were still late!”

Jiang Yashuang didn’t want to embarrass them when he asked them. Instead, he said, “Mrs. Chang, have you sent anyone to tell my brother that my mother is sick?”

Mrs. Chang froze. She thought, “Everyone knows your mother hates him. Why would I tell him? If they were late or they didn’t even show up, your mom could have a chance to rebuke them later!”

After all, she was a servant. She could not say it directly. So, she mumbled, “Madame is sick and thus the servants are hectic. Besides, they have just reached home. They are unfamiliar with the house. So, they forget it.”

“My eighth brother and my sixteenth brother’s yards are beside our yard. It just takes a few steps to arrive at their yards. Next time it’s better to let everyone know if there’s something that needs to be told. Don’t forget it.” Jiang Yashuang nodded, saying calmly, “If they do not know, they can also go to our yard to tell us. So, I can let the servants in our yard convey the message.”

Mrs. Chang looked at him. She was dread because he was born by Madame Zhuang. So, she promised unwillingly, “Yes.”

After reminding Mrs. Chang, Jiang Yashuang turned to apologize to Jiang Yazhu and his wife, “My mother left Jing City for so many years. She has just come back. Normally, her maids are not familiar with the rules here…”

“There’s no need to apologize, Yashuang.” Sheng Shishui said with a smile as she looked at her husband. “It is we who are not respectful enough to go to see mother and take care of her. Otherwise, I would not have come here after the doctor was called.”

She also mentioned that Qiu Yelan was pregnant. It was proper that she took after her mother-in-law.

Naturally, Jiang Yashuang would not let her stay. Although he had just come back, he also knew that Sheng Shishui was humiliated by Madame Zhuang and her daughter was even detained. If he let her stay to take care of Madame Zhuang, no one could know how his mother would torture her! And Jiang Huihuan was still young. She needed her mother to look after her.

So, he replied, “I should not have interfered with sister-in-law’s filial piety. But Huan is still young and my nephew also needs you to take care of. Besides, I have not seen my mother for many years. I have been missing her so much. I want to show my sincerity to her. So, let me look after her! Please help me take care of Lanlan!”

Sheng Shishui just said some words for politeness. She was glad to hear her brother-in-law say so. So, she readily agreed, “You are so respectful. I will not argue with you.”

Jiang Yazhu then said slowly, “Brother, do you need me?”

“Thanks for your consideration. But I have heard that grandfather often gives you tasks these days. So, I am afraid you will be too busy.” Jiang Yashuang even did not want Sheng Shishui to stay, not to mention him. So, he looked for an excuse to reject him.

Jiang Yazhu and Sheng Shishui talked to him for a while and then left. Only when they got out the door did they say with a sigh of relief, “It is lucky that Yashuang is thoughtful.”

Not to mention that they were about to sneak off to Beijiang, they had no time to take care of Madame Zhuang as they were busy packing these two days. Besides, Madame Zhuang had a significant prejudice against them. If they stayed and took care of her, they didn’t know what would happen to them. It was fortunate that Jiang Yashuang was willing to take this responsibility and helped them to leave.

“Only he was not brought up by his official mother.” Jiang Yazhu hummed, “Otherwise, he would take us as his enemy as his mother does!”

“Go back to pack!” Sheng Shishui knew he was stung because Jiang Yashuang turned to be the owner of the family. She didn’t expose it but covered it up.

When Madame Zhuang did not wake up and the servants went to decoct medicine, Jiang Yashuang sent his wife back to the yard. He told her to take good care of herself and do not worry about other things. He asked Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Qu, and others to look after her. He then hurried back to the hall to serve his mother.

After he left, Qiu Yelan sighed, “He just returned from the outside of the city. He travelled back and forth for so many days…”

Mrs. Zhou whispered, “We have nothing to do. The Eighth Young Master is not in Jing City and the eighth madame died. Chunfu Princess just… If the Sixteenth Young Master and the sixteenth madame look after Madame Zhuang, I am afraid that she will be unhappier! Only our young master can go now.”

“Tell the private kitchen to make some nourishing food. Give to my mother-in-law and my husband.” Qiu Yelan was upset, “I hope my mother-in-law can quickly get better.”

Otherwise, Jiang Yashuang would look after his mother while worrying about her pregnancy. Even if he was young and healthy, he might become ill with fatigue when he worked hard for a long time.

Chunran received her order. She was about to tell the kitchen when Su He went back from outside. Su He looked strange.

“How’s it going?” Qiu Yelan asked her when she saw her, “What did Mei Xue say to Qiu Qian?”

“Nothing.” Su He was anxious.

Qiu Yelan saw this situation and made a wink to Mrs. Zhou. After Mrs. Zhou led the others out of the room, Su He said in a low voice, “Hearing that Madame Zhuang had beaten Madame Dou to the last breath, they asked me if they could help us.”

Qiu Yelan was surprised, “Why did they know that?” Though Mei Xue and Qiu Qian were treated well in the side yard, they were still arrested in the yard. They could not get the news so quickly.

If they knew the thing, everyone in the court would know it.

Su He chuckled, “Sure! Everyone knows it!”

“The first branch must have spread it.” Qiu Yelan even did not have to think deeply as she could figure it out easily. “They are trying to force my grandfather to punish my mother-in-law.” She sneered, “Now she is ill. Are they expecting that my grandfather pulls mother out from her bed to punish her?”

If they meant that, it was in the time that Madame Zhuang got sick.

She asked, “But Mei Xue and Qiu Qian cannot even protect themselves. What can they do?”

Su He lied down to her ear. She said in a lower voice, “They said there was a kind of medicine in ‘Tianya.’ The killers use this kind of medicine to remain alive when they are almost dying. Although it is said that anyone who uses it will inevitably shorten his life period, at that time, the effect is good. If Madame Dou will die within two days, we could give her a pill. It will keep her alive for several months or even a year and then Madame Zhuang’s charges will be reduced.”

Qiu Yelan was surprised, “Really?”

“Miss Qiu was sure of it. Miss Mei said so, too. Besides, you can control their lives. I don’t think they dare play tricks, do they?” Su He added, “If Madame Dou dies, Madame Zhuang will be hard to extricate herself.” She nipped her lower lip, “It’s just a matter of how to convince the first branch to take medicine after the fight between them and us!”

“It won’t be a trouble!” Qiu Yelan shook her head, reminding Su He, “Do you forget the medicine my brother gave me? I have run out of it. But few people have seen it before…”

Su He’s eyes lit up and she was about to say something when Qiu Yelan continued, “But there is another problem. What should I do if someone in my family gets into trouble again and asks me for such medicine? I already said that the one I gave Prince of Qi was the last!”

“Ask young master!” Su He suggested, “Ask him to tell our old master. Even if he favors the first branch, he doesn’t want it to be judged that Madame Zhuang beats Madame Dou to death. It will be a few days before we have a chance to muddle through! Otherwise, it is the shame of the Jiang Family, isn’t it?”

Qiu Yelan murmured, “Yashuang… He is so busy. Now he is the only one who can take care of my mother-in-law. He has no time to deal with it. You go to meet my grandmother and tell her about the plan.”

“But Madame has already said she is ill.”

“That depends on who begs her and what it is for!” Qiu Yelan knew her very well, “The relationship between grandmother and the first branch is not good. This thing is not difficult for her. Besides, if she does us a favor, we own her. Why does she not do it?”

Sure enough, Madame Tao listened to Mom Hu who conveyed the words of Su He. She squinted to think about it for a while and then commanded, “You go to find Chaohai and tell him secretly!”
