The doctor had previously said that my mother's heart condition was very serious, partly because it had become a chronic illness over the years, and partly because she was getting old and her health was deteriorating.

Once unconscious, the situation becomes extremely critical, and the condition could deteriorate drastically. However, now that he has woken up, he seems to be no different from usual, showing no signs of discomfort.

It's worth noting that Old Mrs. Gu had previously fallen into a coma, and after waking up, she was in great discomfort and had to stay in bed for several days before she was able to get up. Today's reaction is quite different.

When the old lady saw that she had woken up, the old nanny glared angrily at Qian Qiuxiang and the other woman.

"It was you two who talked nonsense and almost delayed my old lady's treatment! What exactly are you up to!"

Qian Qiuxiang's expression changed. "How can you blame us? We were just telling the truth. Song Ruozhen has such a deep grudge against you, yet you dared to take the medicine she gave you!"

We were just trying to be helpful; we didn't force you not to eat!

"Exactly! Maybe Song Ruozhen was planning to poison your old lady before, but after we exposed her, she took out the real medicine?"

"If you ask me, you should be thanking us properly!" Fan Siying said confidently.

The crowd was utterly astonished by the mother and daughter's twisted logic; they could make black seem white!

The bad things have nothing to do with them, but all the credit for the good things goes to them!

"You...you are all utterly shameless!" The old woman was furious, shouting, "No wonder you were divorced, you're a whole family of scumbags!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Siying seemed to have been hit where it hurt. "What nonsense are you talking about? I wasn't divorced, I had a mutual divorce!"

"That's because the Song family gave you face. Everyone knows you've been unfaithful, not only seducing Zhao Hong, but also leading your whole family to bleed the Song family dry," a maid from the Song family mocked.

This incident caused quite a stir back then, and many people knew about it. They never expected that Fan Siying would dare to show up again!

"Snapped!"

Qian Qiuxiang rushed forward and slapped the maid, yelling, "You shameless little slut, how dare you curse someone when you're just a maid? You're asking for it!"

The maid was startled when she was suddenly slapped, but remembering that she was indeed a servant, she could only nervously look at Old Madam Gu and the Second Master.

"When did it become anyone else's place to discipline the maids in our household?"

Gu Qingxiu had a sullen face. He had naturally heard of this shrewish woman in front of him. He was too lazy to bother with her, but who would have thought that she would act like the master in front of his family and even lecture his servants?

Qian Qiuxiang then smiled ingratiatingly, "Second Master Gu, your maid's mouth is really foul. I just helped to discipline her a little. You don't mind, do you?"

“Of course I won’t bother with a mere woman,” Gu Qingxiu said coldly, his gaze falling on the old woman.

Upon hearing this, Qian Qiuxiang became even more smug. She knew that wealthy and powerful families like the Gu family valued their reputation and wouldn't hold a grudge against a servant!

The maid's eyes were red, and she felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She had no choice but to swallow her grievances.

The old lady glanced at the wronged maid, then at Gu Qingxiu, whose face remained calm and expressionless, and knew exactly what was going on.

She knew her second son's temperament all too well. He seemed calm and collected, not taking anything to heart, but in reality, he was extremely meticulous.

Sure enough, the next moment the nanny struck, "If a maid does something wrong, it is up to our masters to discipline her, not for outsiders to do!"

Qian Qiuxiang was furious, "You bitch, you..."

Just as she was about to retaliate, she met Gu Qingxiu's gaze, which startled her so much that she could only shut up and quickly left with Fan Siying.

"Mother, why is Song Ruozhen so lucky? She actually caught the eye of the Prince of Chu!"

Fan Siying became increasingly unhappy. After leaving the Song family, she thought they would definitely suffer a lot of misfortune. Anyway, one of them was disabled, so she could just leave.

Who would have thought that Song Yanzhou not only stood up, but also regained his status as the General of the Eastern Central Army.

You have to know how many people envied Song Yanzhou for becoming the General of the Eastern Army at such a young age, and how many people secretly envied her for marrying such a wonderful man.

The Song family is doing well in every way. Song Yi'an passed the high school entrance exam, and Song Ruozhen is very likely to become the Princess Consort of Chu.

Most importantly... all these changes in the Song family happened after she left, and some people even called her a jinx because of it!

How infuriating!

"It's all your fault for being stupid! You should have held onto Song Yanzhou tightly back then. Even if he became crippled, the Song family was so wealthy that you would never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of your life!"

Now things are really messed up; you've lost all the benefits, and it'll be difficult for you to remarry. I've heard that the Song family is already preparing for a marriage with the Luo family, and the wedding is about to take place.

Whenever Qian Qiuxiang thought about these things, she felt a nagging pain in her heart, like being scratched by a cat.

All this wealth and status should have belonged to them!

Now look what's happened, everything's gone!

At this point, Qian Qiuxiang suddenly had an idea and said, "Since your plan succeeded back then, why don't we try it again?"

"What do you mean?" Fan Siying was slightly taken aback. "But I don't even have the chance to contact Yan Zhou now."

She had considered finding another opportunity to see Song Yanzhou, hoping to plead with him and soften his heart.

Who would have thought that there wouldn't even be a chance to have any contact with him, let alone try to get into his bed!

“Back then, you didn’t have a chance to get close either, but you still succeeded in the end, didn’t you? In my opinion, why don’t we make a big scene this time!” Qian Qiuxiang said.

“Mother, tell me.” Fan Siying immediately became interested. Ever since Song Yanzhou stood up, the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was truly an outstanding person.

If she had known this would happen, she should have taken better care of Song Yanzhou when he was paralyzed. Now that he has stood up again, wouldn't he cherish her like a treasure?

Unfortunately, she herself failed to seize the opportunity!

As Qian Qiuxiang slowly explained the entire plan, Fan Siying's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Mother, you always have a way!"

……

After Song Ruozhen and Liu's mother went down the mountain, they unexpectedly met Chu Junting.

The man stood at the foot of the mountain, and after an unknown amount of time, a smile spread across his usually aloof and indifferent face the moment he saw her.

"Auntie, is it hard to go up the mountain?" Chu Junting asked with concern.

Liu Ruyan smiled and waved her hand, "I'm not tired at all. Your Highness came here specifically to find Zhen'er, right? You can go ahead if you have something to do. I'll take the carriage back."

"No rush. I just happened to be passing by and saw the Song family's carriage. I asked and learned that you had gone up the mountain to pray for blessings, so I waited for a while."

Chu Junting smiled warmly, completely unlike his usual cold and stern demeanor. He seemed more like an ordinary young master trying to make a good impression on the mother of the girl he admired.

Liu Ruyan found it amusing to hear the words "just happened to be passing by." As someone who had been through it all, how could she not understand?

"No, you young people go ahead. It's rare for me to come out, so I'll take a walk down the mountain. I just ran into Madam Dong, and we arranged to admire the flowers together."

"Zhen'er was already boring with us, so it's good that the Prince is here."

Listening to the excuse her mother had made up, Song Ruozhen wondered where there was any trace of Madam Dong around.
