Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

"old lady"

Lin's voice was choked with sobs: "I blame myself for not listening to you and insisting on marrying Su Tinggui. Now I have fallen into this situation. It is all my own fault."

"Hey!"

Madam Zhou sighed deeply, "In one's life, it's inevitable that one will go astray. You were young then, protected by your parents and brothers, and couldn't see the treacherous nature of human hearts."

"Call me Auntie. I remember you used to call me Auntie. How come you changed your name after not seeing me for so long?"

"My father was demoted, and I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Your father is a loyal man who serves his country. At my age now, am I really afraid that you will bring trouble to me?"

The old lady's voice was full of energy, and her words were full of protection for Lin.

Lin was so moved that she burst into tears again. She opened her mouth and called out affectionately, "Auntie."

"Okay." The old lady took Lin's hand and said, "You are too thin. You should take good care of yourself."

"Doctor Li, please take Mrs. Lin's pulse."

Su Manman stood at the door waiting, listening to the noise inside, but did not take the initiative to disturb them.

However, the nanny guarding the door saw her coming and hurried in to inform her.

Then, Madam Zhou's voice came, "Miss Man'er is here, why are you still staying outside and not coming in?"

Her voice is gentle and magnetic, and she always speaks with a reassuring power.

As the door curtain was lifted, Su Manman lowered her head, took two quick steps, and walked into the house.

The incense room is simple and elegant, with a soft couch by the window and a low table on the couch.

The two of them sat in front of the soft couch across the table. An old man in a gray robe was bending over and taking his mother's pulse to diagnose her illness.

This person was none other than the old doctor, Li Yuan, who had tried to save Su Jiaojiao in the front hall but was instead blamed.

Everyone in the room was silent, waiting nervously for Li Yuan's pulse diagnosis results.

Su Manman raised her eyes and secretly looked at Old Madam Zhou.

She was wearing a dark robe embroidered with delicate patterns, simple yet dignified.

Her silver hair was as white as snow and combed meticulously.

That kind face was covered with traces of time, but it also added a touch of elegance.

A pair of eyes, deep and bright, seeing through the prosperity and vanity of the world, appearing particularly wise.

The old lady Zhou in front of her was her benefactor in her previous life.

I remember that after my mother passed away, Su Tinggui ordered that the funeral be held very simply.

No matter how simple it is, the wife of the Minister of Rites should be given a good coffin.

At that time, she was weak and struggled to run to the cemetery. They actually used a straw mat to hastily bury her mother's body.

She was anxious and angry, and wanted to ask her father for money to buy a good coffin, but Su Tinggui avoided her.

Aunt Liu blocked the Su Mansion's gate and yelled at her, "You bitch who ruined the Su Mansion's reputation! Your father has already severed the father-daughter relationship with you, so why are you still running back?"

She called a group of people to drag her and throw her out.

Finally, it was Old Madam Zhou who came in person, bought a good coffin, and took her to take care of her mother's funeral.

How could she forget this kindness?

As she recalled, Li Yuan withdrew his pulse-taking hand, considered for a moment, and said, "The poison in Madam's body has been in her body for a long time and is very treacherous. I'm afraid it will be difficult to remove it in a short time."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into silence.

"Doctor Li, even you can't solve it?"

Old Madam Zhou looked lost, with an indescribable pain flashing in her eyes.

"I always feel that since she is still so young, there is always a chance for her to be saved."

"Madam, that young man Wu from Huichun Hall has come to me several times this month. We have also been discussing the detoxification method for a long time."

Wu Xiaowen comes from a medical family. He followed his grandfather and father to various mansions to see patients since he was a child and grew up under the watchful eyes of the public.

Therefore, the elders in various mansions in the capital treated him as their junior and addressed him casually.

Li Yuan answered truthfully: "For now, we can only rely on medication to suppress the spread of the toxin and delay its onset."

He didn't say the rest of the words.

Lin's life span may be less than a month.

When Li Yuan said this, Mrs. Zhou knew that there was no possibility of reversal, and her heart ached even more.

She held Lin's hand and couldn't help crying. "Your mother and I are close friends. I watched you grow up. Now your mother is thousands of miles away and has no time to take care of you. And your body is like this now..."

As she spoke, she began to cry.

Li Yuan on the side quickly interrupted: "Old Madam, your health is very important. You must control your emotions and avoid excessive joy or sorrow!"

"I know I need to control my emotions, but how can I control myself when Su Tinggui did something like this?"

The more Mrs. Zhou spoke, the angrier she became, and tears began to fall.

Su Manman knew that the old lady was not in good health either.

In my previous life, one month after my mother passed away, the old lady also died of a sudden illness.

Later, after she entered the palace, she recognized her master.

Master once mentioned that he was present when the old lady fell ill.

She died due to blood stasis in her brain, which caused blood vessels to rupture and cerebral hemorrhage when she was emotionally excited. She was not given timely treatment and died.

I remember she once said with great regret: "In our time, a simple brain surgery could solve this problem."

In the next five years, they found cages of mice and made many specially made blades. They first practiced on mice, and after repeated practice, they applied it to humans.

In her previous life, several years after the old lady passed away, she successfully mastered the treatment method and had saved hundreds of people.

Su Manman walked forward slowly and bowed deeply, "Old Madam, my mother calls you Aunt, so I will call you Grandmother, is that okay?"

Madam Zhou stopped crying, took her hand, and looked her up and down: "You are Su Manman. I remember I held you in my arms when you were one month old."

"In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so big. You look quite iconic."

She was generous with her praise.

Looking at Lin, then at Su Manman, she thought of her old friend and couldn't help wiping away tears. "You've returned from abroad. Your mother has company now, and your grandmother should be relieved. But your mother's body..."

When this matter was mentioned, Mrs. Zhou felt distressed.

"Grandma, don't be sad. I promise you that I will find a way to detoxify my mother."

When she said this, her eyes were pure and her tone was firm, which made people inexplicably feel a sense of trust.

Li Yuan couldn't help but look at the little girl and sighed inwardly.

Just a yellow-haired girl.

Everyone has a motherly love.

But filial piety cannot be transformed into an antidote.

He bowed to the old woman, said nothing more, and left.

The room was quiet for a while, and Mrs. Zhou pulled Su Manman closer.

A ray of light shone in from the window and fell on her face, making the purple mark on her right cheek appear very clear.

"This is..." The old lady glared in disbelief, "How could this happen? Who hit you?"

When Lin heard this, she lowered her head and wiped away her tears in grievance.

Mrs. Zhou understood immediately.

"Who the hell is Su Tinggui?"

Madam Zhou cursed angrily, "Just because the Lin family has lost power, they dare to treat you and your daughter like this."

"Aunt, please take care of yourself and don't be angry."

Lin helped her calm down and said, "Thank goodness Man'er is finally back. I wanted to find her a good marriage. My life is ruined, but Man'er is still young!"

Old Madam Zhou was a smart person and now she understood why Lin suddenly mustered up the courage to come see her today.

She pushed Lin's hand away, and her expression suddenly became indifferent.
