The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96: 88 Mother and Daughter (First Update)_2

Marquis Gu spoke coldly, “How do you explain Lady Gu’s sudden fainting?”

“This…” Doctor Chen couldn’t explain it, “Her Ladyship should be able to wake up soon, we can ask her to get the whole truth.”

Madame Fang lowered her head, her fingers slowly tightening into a fist.

Doctor Chen wrote a prescription, and Madame Fang took it and went to fetch the medicine from the pharmacy located in the villa.

Cuicui stealthily came in through the back door while Madame Fang was preparing the medicine in the small kitchen.

“Auntie!”

Madame Fang glanced out warily, closed the door and asked her, “What brings you here?”

Cuicui spoke in a hushed voice, “Huang Zhong suddenly came looking for Matron Fang, is there some kind of trouble?”

Madame Fang narrowed her eyes and said, “Her Ladyship has been taking medicine lately. She will be getting better soon!”

Cuicui blanched, shocked, “What? I thought… a slight provocation would trigger…”

Madame Yao had reacted negatively when stimulated previously, though her illness was not as grave then, she managed to survive a close call. Everything was supposed to go smooth this time, unexpectedly…

“The Empress Dowager has sent a letter, requesting the Marquis to bring the young lady back to the capital for her coming-of-age ceremony. Since the young master’s health has improved, the Marquis will surely bring Lady Gu and the young master back.…” Madame Fang said, her cold eyes resting on the steaming medicinal decoction.

…

Huang Zhong went to Matron Fang’s house under a pretense and brought the Sick Matron Fang back to the villa.

The Marquis personally went to interrograte her in the study room.

Only two maids were left in the room.

Madame Fang, carrying a bowl of steaming soup, walked in and said, “It’s fine, I’ll look after this. You two go to the dining room and see if the porridge for her ladyship is ready, and do not forget to send the fruit the young miss wanted to the Orchid Pavilion”.

“Yes,” the two maids agreed and left.

The room was now devoid of any third person, and it was eerily quiet.

Madame Fang held the soup bowl, stepped slowly to the bedside and looked down at the peaceful sleeping Madame Yao. She said contemptuously, “My lady, don’t blame your maid, blame the person who doesn’t want you to return to Marquis Residence

She then pry opened Madame Yao’s jaw and spoon-fed her the medicine…

Today is the day for the follow-up appointment of Gu Yan at Huichun Hall.

The second boss was not able to visit, Gu Jiao and the old doctor came instead.

The two were directly escorted by Yu Ya to Gu Yan’s courtyard.

Gu Yan’s current condition was very stable, and as long as he continued the medication, he could live for another two or three years without any problem.
