Nanny Xu chuckled. “Eldest Miss has already persisted for more than a month, and she has also learned the rules of the palace. If she gives up now, won’t all her previous efforts and persistence be in vain?

When Yu Youyao heard this, she looked conflicted.

She had persisted for so long and would give up just like that. Why did it make her so unhappy and indignant?

However, when she thought of how torturing the palace rules were, she shuddered.

Nanny Xu saw her hesitation. “I reckon that in a few days, after the

Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather will slowly cool down.”

Yu Youyao thought about it carefully. Although it was difficult to learn the rules, what she couldn’t stand the most was wearing nine layers of clothes to learn the rules on a hot day.

It was too uncomfortable!

When the weather cooled down, it probably wouldn’t be so difficult.

After Yu Youyao finished bathing and changed into dry clothes, she felt that she could do it again. “I’ll just grit my teeth and learn the rules!”

However, Yu Youyao had forgotten!

When the weather turned cold, there were twelve thick layers of clothes waiting for her!

At this moment, Yu Youyao thought that her grandmother had not been in a good mood these past few days, and even her appet.i.te had decreased a lot. She went to An Shou Hall to have breakfast with her grandmother.

Old Madam Yu had no appet.i.te and couldn’t eat.

Yu Youyao tried to persuade her, but Old Madam Yu didn’t budge. She only ate a small bowl of lotus seed soup before putting down her chopsticks.

Old Madam Yu sighed slightly. “The servant who went to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence to inquire about the news returned and said that Heir Song hasn’t woken up yet. Last night, he had a high fever in the middle of the night and his fever hadn’t subsided. Be it acupuncture or medicine, it didn’t work. I heard that he vomited blood again early this morning. Imperial Physician Hu asked the Zhenguo Marquis Residence to prepare for… Her voice was hoa.r.s.e. “The funeral!”

Song Mingzhao was going to die?!

Upon hearing this news, Yu Youyao felt very complicated.

In the nightmare, the older Yao Yao’s heart had been pierced and she had died. She had always thought that this was just an absurd nightmare. Perhaps it was because this nightmare was too real, but the older Yao Yao in the nightmare was too miserable, so Yu Youyao felt the same way. Unknowingly, she was affected by the nightmare.

Yu Youyao realized that the Zhenguo Marquis Residence also had a small courtyard like in her nightmare, and that small courtyard was also called the Frost Residence.

It was a shocking coincidence.

Yu Youyao was shocked.

Yu Youyao did not dare to think about it after returning from the Zhenguo Marquis Residence.

However, no matter how she looked at it, Song Mingzhao’s sudden illness was strange.

Old Madam Yu felt terrible. “I’ve also raised Mingzhao since he was young. He’s considered half my grandson. Why do you suddenly think such a fine person… At this point, she couldn’t help but wipe her tears. “Even an outsider like me feels terrible when I hear this news, let alone your Grandmother Song. Her health isn’t good…”

Song Mingzhao’s situation was unknown, so she did not dare to say anything inauspicious, in case she alarmed the ghosts and G.o.ds and they really came to take his life.

However, she and Old Song had been friends since they were young. The two of them had supported each other in the capital for most of their lives.

The old master had pa.s.sed away early, and she had become a widow. Her life was difficult.

In the past, Old Song had helped her a lot.

Now that something had happened to Song Mingzhao, how could she not be worried?

Yu Youyao did not know how to persuade her anymore. Her grandmother was worried about Song Mingzhao, and also about Grandmother Song. She could not take the blow of seeing a child die before her.

As Old Madam Yu wiped her tears, she said, “If anything happens to Mingzhao, how can your Grandmother Song stand it…

Old Madam Yu felt terrible. She pulled Yu Youyao along and rambled on about many things from the past.

Her grandfather and grandmother were loving and had an extremely good relations.h.i.+p.

After her grandfather’s death, her grandmother couldn’t take the blow and lay on the bed for three days without eating or drinking. It was only because

Grandmother Song was worried about her grandmother that she came to the Yu Residence and scolded her did she come to her senses.

Grandmother Song had helped her grandmother settle her grandfather’s funeral behind his back.

As her grandmother was a widow, many things were not easy to do like show her face in public. It was also Grandmother Song who helped to take care of them.

Only then did Yu Youyao truly understand— What was a family friend?

It was a relations.h.i.+p after generations of interaction, and also a friends.h.i.+p that could not be severed.

At this moment, Qing Xiu led the Marquis of Zhen’s wife into the house.

Old Madam Yu and Yu Youyao were both stunned.

The Marquis’s wife was also embarra.s.sed. “Matriarch, I’m the one who’s insensible. I came to disturb you so early in the morning.”

She was wearing a dress that matched her waist and a knee-length light purple smoke veil, making her look n.o.ble and elegant. However, she had a worried expression and her eyes were dark. Even though she had applied a thick layer of powder, it could not hide the fatigue and haggard expression in her eyes.

She must have been worried sick over the past few days when Song Mingzhao was unconscious.

Old Madam Yu was stunned for a moment before she quickly asked,

“Daughter-in-law Xiuqi, what are you saying? The main door of the Yu Residence is always open for you. It doesn’t matter when you come. How’s

Mingzhao? Is your Old Madam alright?”

Tears rushed out of the Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife’ s eyes. “Mingzhao is still unconscious and has a high fever. Last night, he couldn’t eat anything or take any medicine. He even vomited blood from time to time. Old Madam was worried about Mingzhao and couldn’t bear to close her eyes. Halfway through, Mingzhao’s condition wasn’t good and she tainted twice from fright. However, as soon as she woke up, she kept talking about her grandson and refused to lie in the house. He wanted to guard Mingzhao and was exhausted. No matter how much the family persuaded her, she refused to listen.”

As she spoke, she cried. She was really heartbroken.

Old Madam Yu knew that Song Mingzhao’s condition was not good, but she did not know that it had already come to this. Her eyes immediately turned red. “Daughter-in-law Xiuqi, did you specially come over for something important?”

Song Mingzhao was unconscious, and Old Madam Song was also struggling. There were many people in the house, and it was not peaceful. She could not leave the Marquis’s wife to take care of everything.

The Marquis’s wife was not someone who did not know the severity of the matter.

Now that she had suddenly come over, she could only be here for Song

Mingzhao or Old Madam Song.

As expected, after hearing Old Madam Yu’s words, the Marquis’s wife gradually stopped crying and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Matriarch, it’s also my fault as a daughter-in-law for taking the liberty to come knocking on your door to save

Mingzhao’s life.”

Old Madam Yu was stunned when she heard this. “Don’t be so serious. Our families aren’t so distant. If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as my family can help, we’ll definitely do our best.”

Hearing Old Madam Yu’ s words, the Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife felt a little better. “Mingzhao has been in a coma. Even Imperial Physician Hu is helpless. Our family had no choice but to seek help from the previous Imperial

Physician, Lord s.h.i.+.”

Old Madam Yu’s heart skipped a beat, and she understood.

Indeed!
