Chapter 403
Meng Laofuren's fainting turned the family upside down. And the doctor who had just left was called once again.
The old doctor was covered in sweat from running. After he entered the courtyard, he hasn't had a chance to put down his medicine box, but he was dragged by Meng s.h.i.+: "Doctor, doctor, look what happened to our mother, okay?"
“Alright, alright, Meng Master, don't worry, nothing will happen to Laofuren." The doctor just checked Meng Laofuren's conditions. Although she fell, it will not endanger her life.
“You, you just look at her quickly." Without certainty, Meng s.h.i.+ was not willing to calm down.
“Alright, Meng Master, don't worry, I'm on my way." The old doctor took a deep breath and calmed down himself. Then, he sat on a low chair to the bedside and checked Meng Laofuren's pulse.
The old doctor was very calm at first, but soon… …
The expression on his face became heavy. His eyes also flashed with a trace of worry. His gripped to the old lady's pulse also increased: "This, this shouldn't be!”
His reaction brought a shock to the Meng Family: "Doctor, what happened?”
“This doesn't make sense." The old doctor checked the old lady's pulse again, his eyes have a trace of pain and he looked as if he wanted to cry.
“What's going on?” When Meng s.h.i.+ saw this, he constantly asked a question, but… …
The old doctor didn't dare to say it.
“You wait.” The old doctor was anxious for a moment, after he released Meng Laofuren's hand, he got up and checked the old lady's pupils and carotid pulse.
When the Meng Family saw this, they had a bad feeling. The next second, the old doctor confirmed their thoughts.
*Plop*
The old doctor fell down on the floor, “Lao, laofuren… is gone!"
“You, what did you say?” Meng s.h.i.+ felt like he was struck by lightning. He just stood there motionless.
The old doctor repeated his words again: “The old lady is gone! The old lady is gone!”
“No, it's impossible… how could mother?” Meng s.h.i.+ can't accept it.
“Mother, mother… …” Meng Second Master and Meng Third Master burst into tears and rushed to Meng Laoufuren's bed.
“Laofuren, laofuren, don't scare this slave. Don't scare this slave!" The Old Mama cried heartily. She knelt at the foot side of the bed and cried and cried because she couldn't accept it.
“No, it's impossible, impossible… How can mother die? She was just okay." Meng Da Furen almost fainted when she heard the news.
Meng Laofuren's death means their family completely have no backbone. What will they do now?
“Laofuren, laofuren… …"
The room was filled with crying sound. When the young masters and young ladies heard the news, they also rushed to come. They cried and cried because they also couldn't accept the fact that their grandmother died.
When Lin Chujiu heard Housekeeper Cao's words at the gate, she didn't take the carriage. She directly took a horse and went to the Meng Family.
Lin Chujiu's horse riding was good. The dark road didn't affect her riding. The shadow guards all followed behind her. A group of people soon came to the Meng Family, but… …
It's too late!
When Lin Chujiu arrived, she saw the Meng Family was changing the lanterns. They were taking out the festive red lanterns at the entrance and replacing them with white lanterns.
Lin Chujiu immediately jumped down the horse when she saw this scene. She almost kneels on the ground when her legs soften. Fortunately, the shadow guard behind her reacted quickly and held her: "w.a.n.gfei, be careful!”
“No, it won't be like that… …" Lin Chujiu pushed the shadow guard and stumbled forward. She grabbed the white lantern to the gatekeeper's hand and asked: "Who pa.s.sed away?"
“Xiao w.a.n.gfei, you came, laofuren, laofuren, she… …" When the gatekeeper saw Lin Chujiu, he immediately cried out.
“The emperor hated her, the empress didn't like her, and now, she offended the Southern Princess. Even if Xiao w.a.n.gfei wants to live until Xiao w.a.n.gye came back, it won't be easy."
“I am afraid that Xiao w.a.n.gfei will die sooner than Laofuren."
“Ah… …” Meng Laofuren was so angry. In her anger, her body trembled constantly. And due to this excitement, she was able to turn herself. The two women saw the old lady fell off the bed.
“Not good, let's go out quickly…” When the two saw the old lady, they slipped away quietly. They didn't go out to call people for help at all. Only when the trusted maidservant of the old lady came, Meng Laofuren was found lying on the floor.
“Someone come, someone come… …” The Old Mama screamed and screamed while holding the old lady.
In a few moments, several people came over. The Meng brothers also rushed in after hearing the news. When they put back the old lady on the bed, they gave her warm water and invited a doctor. After checking, the doctor announced that the old lady was not in danger. Only after that, they felt relieved.
When the old lady got out of danger, Meng Master began to ask the everyone around him: "What the h.e.l.l is this? How do you people take care of mother? Where are the people watching mother at night?"
When Da Furen heard this, she knew that she couldn't get out of this. She immediately asked people to check the maidservants who were watching the old lady at night. They want to know how did this happen.
Not long after, the housekeeper rushed in with anxious looked in the face: "Master, not good, not good… … the two maidservants watching the old lady at night are dead."
The Meng Master was stupefied on the spot, and Da Furen was scared… …
The people were dead, which shows that this thing was not a simple case of negligence. Someone deliberately wants to take the old lady's life.
“This, what's going on?” Da Furen's hands and feet got cold. The other people wanted to comfort her, but they don't know what to say… …
The Meng brothers looked at each other, but they don't know what to do.
“When mother woke up, let's talk.” Finally, Meng Master said his decision. It's just… …
With Meng Laofuren's situation, what can she do after she woke up?
After such a thing happened, several members of the family didn't dare to sleep. They guarded altogether in the outer room.
Fortunately, the weather was warm, and Meng Laofuren wasn't left lying on the floor for too long. Not long after, she woke up. However, as soon as she woke up, she grabbed tightly the hand of the Old Mama and said: "Chujiu… jiu."
Meng Laofuren used all her strength to spit out those words, as tears came out from eyes. Her lips also bleed for biting accidentally.
“Laofuren, laofuren, don't speak, this slave understands what you mean. You want me to call Xiao w.a.n.gfei, right?" The Old Mama served Meng Laofuren for decades, so she could easily tell what's on her mind.
“Um, um…” Meng Laofuren nodded hard, her muddled eyes were covered with tears. No one knew what exactly her thinking.
The Old Mama turned around and quickly reported Meng Laofuren's request. When the Meng brothers heard of it, they refused to do it. There was a curfew and how could they send people in Xiao w.a.n.gfu in the middle of the night, but… …
People couldn't wait for a long time.
The more Meng Laofuren wait for Lin Chujiu, the more her heart became anxious: "Chu… grand, granddaughter." However, she couldn't express her meaning completely. She could only call Lin Chujiu with all her might.
“Laofuren, laofuren, don't worry. Xiao w.a.n.gfei will be here soon." Who know's what the old lady heard, but she had to comfort her.
But……
After some more delay, she could no longer wait for Lin Chujiu. She thought that something might have really happened to Lin Chujiu. After this excitement, Meng Laofuren's eyes closed… …
