Xiao Chenyi immediately turned around and ran out the door at a brisk pace, saying to Li Wanling as he ran, "Ling'er, I'm going to go see grandma first. Don't worry, I will definitely give our child an explanation."

"Young General, I'll go with you to see grandma." Li Wanling said softly, and followed Xiao Chenyi out.

While Xiao Chenyi was not paying attention, she glared at Chu Yuqin with great reluctance.

It seemed that she would soon prove that Chu Yuqin had killed her child, but unexpectedly, the old lady suddenly fell ill at this critical moment.

Damn old man, why did he fall ill at this moment?

If it weren't for the old lady's sudden illness and Chu Yuqin's inability to clear suspicion, she could have expelled Chu Yuqin from the house as a matter of course.

Humph, you're lucky!

Li Wanling clenched her fists tightly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

No matter what, she will get rid of that bitch Chu Yuqin sooner or later.

This thought only lasted for a brief moment, and she immediately put her thoughts aside and followed Xiao Chenyi to Old Madam Xiao's courtyard.

When everyone saw Xiao Chenyi and Li Wanling leaving, they hurriedly followed them.

The guards also pulled Nanny Li away.

For a moment, Chu Yuqin and Qiu Ju were the only ones left in the room.

"Madam, are you okay?" Qiuju asked worriedly.

Qiuju knew that her young mistress was deeply in love with the young general, but she was treated like this by the young general and even wrote a letter of divorce today. The young mistress must be heartbroken.

She didn't want Chu Yuqin to get hurt.

Chu Yuqin shook her head: "I'm fine."

"Alas." Qiu Ju sighed, tears in her eyes, and murmured softly, "Madam, others don't believe you, but I know that all this was framed by Aunt Li. Don't worry, one day the young general will be able to see Aunt Li's true face..."

Chu Yuqin felt warm in her heart and patted Qiuju on the shoulder: "Silly girl, don't let your imagination run wild. I don't care about what he can't see clearly."

"Young Madam..." For some reason, Qiuju suddenly felt that there seemed to be something different about her Young Madam.

But she couldn't tell exactly what the difference was.

Chu Yuqin smiled and comforted Qiuju: "Okay, don't think too much, let's go see grandma too."

Judging from the anxious look on Madam Liu's face just now, it seemed that Madam Xiao had some serious illness.

Old Madam Xiao is Xiao Chenyi's grandmother. She is usually very kind to Chu Yuqin and does not mistreat her like other people do just because the Chu family is in poverty.

Although Madam Xiao is old, she is in good spirits and in good health, and doesn't look like a frail woman at all.

How could he suddenly fall ill when all of a sudden he was fine?

Whether it was because of Madam Xiao's kindness towards the original owner, or out of a doctor's heart, Chu Yuqin decided to visit Madam Xiao to see what was going on.

"Madam, are we going too? But the young general was so angry just now..." Qiuju asked hesitantly.

The old lady is seriously ill, so General Xiao, his wife, and General Xiao's concubines will definitely go to the old lady's room.

She was afraid that once her young mistress appeared in front of General Xiao and his wife, she would definitely be scolded again.

After all, everyone thought that it was the young lady who killed the fetus in Aunt Li's belly.

Chu Yuqin glanced at Qiuju nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, let's go."

Madam Xiao's room was in chaos at the moment.

It was afternoon now.

After finishing lunch, Madam Xiao and several concubines accompanied Old Madam Xiao back to her room. They talked for a while and ate some fruit. Not long after, Old Madam Xiao felt very uncomfortable. She tossed and turned in bed, groaning on the couch, and finally fainted. She has not woken up until now.

Madam Xiao and several concubines were shocked and hurriedly asked someone to call a doctor. Seeing that the situation was critical, Madam Xiao made a prompt decision and asked the housekeeper to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician.

"What on earth does this doctor do? It's already so late, and he hasn't come yet?" Mrs. Xiao frowned and scolded angrily, her face extremely gloomy.

"Ma'am, calm down. The doctor will be here soon."

"That's right, ma'am, you mustn't get sick from being angry."

Several aunts were also very anxious.

After all, the old lady fell ill while she was talking to them.

General Xiao is a filial son. Now that something like this has happened to the old lady, if anything happens to her, the general will never let it go.

Mrs. Xiao pursed her lips, trying to suppress the anger and irritability in her heart, forcing herself to calm down, and kept telling herself that everything would be settled after the doctor arrived.

After a while, Xiao Chenyi came with Li Wanling, followed by a group of maids and old women.

"Mother, how is grandma?" As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Chenyi asked Mrs. Xiao anxiously.

At this moment, there were many people gathered around the bed. Mrs. Xiao was sitting next to the bed, while several other female family members were standing by, anxiously watching.

"Your grandmother is still in a coma." Mrs. Xiao shook her head.

Old Madam Xiao was lying on the bed, looking pale and weak, as if she would die at any time.

"Grandma, how are you? I hope nothing happens to you." Xiao Chenyi knelt in front of the bed and reached out to grab Madam Xiao's hand.

Old Madam Xiao did not react at all.

"Where's the doctor? Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?" Xiao Chenyi looked up and shouted towards the door.

The maid guarding the door quickly replied: "Young General, please be patient. We have already gone to invite him. The doctor is on the way and should be here soon."

After hearing the voice, Xiao Chenyi managed to calm down.

"Mother, what happened? Why did grandma suddenly faint?" Xiao Chenyi looked at Mrs. Xiao.

"Alas, who knows?" Madam Xiao shook her head and sighed, her eyes slightly red. "During lunch, your grandmother was fine, but suddenly she said her chest felt stuffy and she couldn't breathe. I asked someone to help her lie down and rest, and not long after, she became like this..."

"Did grandma eat anything?" Xiao Chenyi asked again.

Madam Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I ordered the kitchen to prepare your grandmother's favorite dishes. After lunch, she had some fruit. Oh, yes, it was some rare fruit from the palace that your aunt had sent. Your grandmother liked the taste and ate some..."

"Fruits from the palace?" Xiao Chenyi narrowed his eyes. "Since they are gifts from my aunt, they must be good things. There must be no problem."

Xiao Chenyi's aunt, Xiao Yun'er, entered the palace a few years ago and gave birth to a princess a year ago. She was immediately named Concubine Xiao and was deeply favored by the emperor. This time, he specially asked someone to bring rare fruits to Madam Xiao.
