Lin Qianqing peered outside and said, "Is Concubine Du just outside the courtyard?"
Xie Qinyun clenched her teeth and said, "That vile woman is indeed just outside. I didn’t let her in. She bullies us for not having a capable Family Head’s mother, and she’s almost flying to the heavens with arrogance."
Lin Qianqing chuckled, "Then why not let her in and watch the drama she wants to perform?"
Xie Qinyun shook her head, "No, Du Xintong hasn’t woken up yet. It would be terrible if she ruined everything."
From the side, Gu Youyou, who was busy saving someone, said, "Let her in. We can just tell her that Miss Du is not going to make it and see her reaction."
"My young lady is not going to make it? Young lady..." Cuiya cried out in shock.
Gu Youyou, speechless, supported her forehead with her hand and said, "Cuiya, don’t cry. Your young lady is fine. I’m just guessing that Concubine Du doesn’t want your young lady to live. If we show her that her wish has come true, we’ll see what she wants to do, right?"
"Exactly, that wretch!" Xie Qinyun, gritting her teeth, said, "This time I must root out the poison from the Jie Family. Otherwise, when I get married off, won’t she soar even higher to the heavens?"
After speaking, she went out to the door and said to the maid standing by the entrance, "Go and invite Concubine Du in, tell her the second young madam is not going to make it."
"Also, ask the second young master and my father to come back."
Gu Youyou gave a faint smile without saying a word, quietly applying a few more needles to Miss Du to prevent her from waking up halfway through the act.
Lin Qianqing whispered, "Cousin, if Concubine Du isn’t frightened by your plan, you might end up scaring the Jie Family Head instead. The decision to not let Miss Du leave the Jie Residence has always been Family Head Jie’s wish."
Reminded by her, Gu Youyou was startled.
Most elderly people aren’t easily alarmed, and it would be troublesome if he actually got scared into ill health.
However, Xie Qinyun said, "No, we’ll do it this way. My father is so stubborn. If we don’t frighten him , he’ll never agree to their separation. When my second brother married that lowlife, he also resorted to a ruse."
Fine, since it’s , let’s give him a real scare.
Jie Family’s second young master had just finished cleaning and bandaging the wound on his head, preparing to go home, when he was found by the family’s messenger.
"Second young master, hurry back with me to the Jie Residence. There’s been a serious incident."
As for the second young master of the Jie Family, there were major issues every day, with Concubine Du causing disputes daily. It was a constant headache.
Of course, right now, he actually had a headache. The old master had hit him hard, causing quite a large gash.
A white cloth wrapped around his head looked particularly unseemly.
"What serious incident has happened now?" He had actually become rather calm about these ’serious incidents.’"
The gatekeeper, Chen Sixi, said, "Not long after you left the house today, both ladies fell into the water. Our madam is fine, but the young madam is in bad shape, floating on the water like a dead person. She had barely any breath left when they pulled her out. Third Miss personally invited Doctor Gu from Jisheng Hall to come. Doctor Gu said... the young madam’s chances are slim, and she is likely... not going to make it! Second young master, you should hurry back and have a look. The Family Head will probably be there soon as well."
Everyone in the Jie Residence knew the second young master didn’t like his lawful wife. Thinking that if they said the young madam wasn’t going to make it, he might not rush back, they hurriedly mentioned the Family Head.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the second young master took it very seriously. His face turned deathly pale, his hands trembling slightly as he held his medicine, and without saying another word, he stumbled his way out.
That’s more like it. If the young madam really doesn’t make it and you’re not there, wait and see if the Family Head doesn’t throw another cup at you.
