Chapter 593: Chapter 493: Second Young Lady Vomits Blood Chapter 593: Chapter 493: Second Young Lady Vomits Blood “Ah…” No one knew who screamed, but the Shu family members all stared in shock at the Second Young Lady vomiting blood.
Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady were about to return to their room, but they also stopped in their tracks upon seeing this.
How, how could she be spitting up blood?
The Second Young Lady was stunned herself; her eyes widened as she bowed her head, wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand, the bright red color shocking her, sending her entire body into tremors.
Spitting up blood? She was fine, so why the blood? Wasn’t she just laughing out loud? Wasn’t it just a few words she scolded, how could that result in blood?
The Second Young Lady’s head throbbed dully, and the next moment, her whole body stiffly flipped backward, and she passed out on the spot.
The Shu family let out another round of screams and amidst the chaos, they carried her back to her room.
Madam Hou frowned slightly, exchanged glances with the Sixth Young Lady, but neither took any further action.
Shu Yu was unaware of these events; she had already returned home with the old lady.
At home, indeed, a hot meal was ready, kept warm on the stove, waiting for Shu Yu’s return.
Shu Yu hadn’t lived such a day for a month and a half; she smiled, sitting across from the old lady, looking at the table full of dishes, and sighed in comfort.
The old lady served her food until her bowl was nearly overflowing, “You must be hungry, eat up. After you finish, we can chat leisurely.”
The food was all of Shu Yu’s favorites. She glanced at her younger siblings and smiled as she picked up her bowl.
It was getting dark outside. After Shu Yu finished eating, she took a hot bath and was then hurried by the old lady into bed.
In a short while, Sanya ran into the room and slipped into the bed.
The old lady stood at the doorway, reminding her, “Chat for a bit then come out, understand? Your second sister has had a tiring day, let her get some early rest for a good night’s sleep.”
Sanya, with half her head buried under the covers, quickly replied, “Understood, Grandmother.”
The old lady then closed the door.
Only then did Sanya poke her head out, her little hand grasping Shu Yu’s, “Second Sister, I’ve missed you so much.”
“Second Sister has missed you all too.” Shu Yu touched Sanya’s head; the little girl seemed to have lost some weight again. She had finally put on a bit of weight while they were in Jiangyuan County, but the plumpness in her cheeks had vanished during their recent travels.
However, Sanya’s spirits were still high.
The little girl had a lot to say, babbling on about everything that happened along the way and the situation with their parents in the county town.
But being young, she soon grew sleepy, snuggling into the soft warmth of her second sister’s bed, and quickly fell asleep.
When the old lady walked in, the little girl was sleeping soundly with rosy cheeks.
The old lady wanted to carry her away, but Shu Yu stopped her, “Grandmother, let her sleep here. Sanya is a peaceful sleeper; she won’t disturb me. The bed is now warm, taking her out might make her catch a cold.”
Convinced, the old lady stopped attempting to move her, and said softly, “Alright, then you should get some rest too.”
Shu Yu smiled in acknowledgment, watched the old lady leave, then snuggled closer to Sanya and closed her eyes to sleep.
She nearly overslept but it was the old lady who came in to wake her, and that’s when she realized it was no longer early.
Shu Yu rubbed the corner of her forehead; indeed, she had slept too comfortably at home.
Carefully avoiding Sanya, she got up to dress and as she left the room, the old lady brought her a steaming bowl of noodles with two eggs on top.
