The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Chapter 242, Falling Ill_1

“Have you heard that the eldest son, third son, and fourth son are trapped in Xingyun Prefecture and can’t get out? They might die there?”

“No way?”

“Why not? The epidemic has broken out in Xingyun Prefecture. Can anyone survive after being infected?”

“The eldest son is the legitimate eldest son. If he dies, Madam will surely be heartbroken to death, won’t she?”

“Madam’s illness this time must be because of this.”

“Think about it, if the eldest and fourth son can’t come back, wouldn’t that be the death of Madam?”

In the back courtyard of the Yan Residence, a few maids whispered among themselves, not noticing the old Madam Yan who had come out for a stroll.

When the old Madam Yan heard these words, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, her vision went dark, and then she gasped for air and fell backward.

“Old Madam!”

Madam Sun called out sharply, hurrying to support her.

Frightened by the incident with the old Madam, the maids were scared out of their wits.

The main courtyard.

Since Madam Li was ill, Daohua temporarily took over the affairs of the residence, even missing her studies these days.

Having just finished dealing with her tasks, she saw Wang Manman hurriedly running over.

“Miss, it’s terrible, Old Madam has fainted!”

Daohua stood up abruptly and, as she walked out, asked, “What happened? How could Grandmother faint all of a sudden?”

Wang Manman replied, “Old Madam heard about the eldest son, third son, and fourth son being trapped in Xingyun Prefecture.”

Daohua paused, her face growing cold, “Heard? Heard from whom?”

Wang Manman replied, “The maids were gossiping in the yard, and Old Madam accidentally overheard them.”

Daohua’s eyes narrowed, “The matter at Xingyun Prefecture has been strictly forbidden to spread by Father. How could the maids know about it?”

Wang Manman was startled.

Indeed, how could the people in the residence know about the situation of the eldest son and the others when only the main courtyard was aware?

Concerned about Old Madam, Daohua hurriedly instructed Wang Manman, “Go have Madam Fang take those gossiping maids into custody and find out where they heard the news from.” With that, she quickly headed toward Songhe Courtyard.

Meanwhile, the entire Yan Family was aware of the entrapment and infection of Yan Wenxiu and the others in Xingyun Prefecture.

Just like Madam Li and Old Madam, Madam Wu couldn’t bear it and fell ill as well.

Songhe Courtyard.

“How is Grandmother? Has the doctor come?”

Upon entering the room, Daohua saw Old Madam Yan lying weakly on the bed, tears still on the corners of her eyes, clearly having cried hard before.

Madam Sun replied, “The doctor has seen her and said it was rage overwhelming the heart.”

Hearing Daohua’s voice, Old Madam Yan opened her eyes and slowly stretched out her hand.

Daohua immediately leaned over to hold Old Madam’s hand, “Grandmother!”

Old Madam Yan said, “Your brothers…”

Daohua assured, “Grandmother, don’t worry, all three brothers will be fine. The servants are talking nonsense; they don’t know the real situation.”

Old Madam Yan closed her eyes, then opened them again, a look of regret on her face, “It’s all my fault. I should have stopped your father back then. If Wenxiu and the boys hadn’t gone to Jiguang, this would never have happened.”
