Chapter 43 Who is the Whistleblower?

Wan Shuang hurriedly tucked Qin Wan's exposed hand under the covers.

The young lady was confined in the palace for three days, copying scriptures for three days, and her hands were already covered in blisters.

She had just applied medicine to her young mistress's hand, and it looked rather unsettling; it was best not to let the old lady see it.

Wan Shuang knew that her mistress was most worried about the old lady, so she wiped away her tears and greeted the old lady Qin in the best possible condition.

A moment later, the door to the room was opened from the outside.

The next second, Old Madam Qin walked in, supported by Granny Sun.

Old Madam Qin went straight to Qin Wan's bedside.

"Greetings, Madam."

Wan Shuang bowed and stood up. The moment she looked up, she saw two lines of tears from Old Madam Qin. Her composure, which she had just managed to maintain, was instantly shattered, and tears streamed down her face as well.

"Wan'er, Wan'er, my darling Wan'er!"

Madam Qin wept uncontrollably. Already suffering from health problems, the crying made her seem as if she might collapse at any moment.

With red eyes, Granny Sun kept stroking Old Madam Qin's back.

"Madam, Fourth Miss will be alright. Please take care of yourself too!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than another series of hurried footsteps approached, and then Han Shu and Su Yan'er walked in one after the other.

"Mother, why...why are you here?" Han Shu's voice trembled. Hearing that the old lady had come to Wanyue Courtyard, she rushed over.

She didn't know why the old lady knew about Wan'er's matter. The Marquis had already ordered everyone in the mansion to keep it a secret from the old lady. Who was it that secretly told the old lady about this?

Han Shu's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Wan Shuang. Her suspicious look sized her up and down before her expression changed from doubt to certainty.

"You insolent fools! Wan'er has been kept in the palace for three days and has been unconscious for three days. None of you have told me during these days. Do you think this old woman doesn't exist?"

Madam Qin's cloudy eyes flashed with anger, and Han Shu broke out in a cold sweat after just one glance.

"Mother, I know you love Wan'er dearly, but it's precisely because I know how much you love her that I dare not tell you. Your health is already poor, and if you were to harm yourself because of Wan'er, even if Wan'er woke up, she would blame us!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down Han Shu's face. She glanced at Qin Wan, who was still unconscious, and sobbed even harder.

Su Yan'er, who was standing nearby, helped Han Shu up. The two looked very close, like mother and daughter.

“Madam, Aunt is right. Fourth Sister spent three days copying scriptures in the palace, all to pray for your well-being. Heaven and earth can attest to Fourth Sister’s filial piety. How could she just stand by and watch you harm yourself for her sake? Even if Fourth Sister wakes up, she certainly wouldn’t want to see you so heartbroken,” Su Yan’er said.

"Yes, Yan'er is right. Although I don't know how you knew, Mother, you don't need to be too sad. Wan'er is out of danger and will probably wake up soon!"

Han Shu herself didn't believe what she was saying; she had no idea when Qin Wan would wake up.

Although Madam Qin was old, she was still a sensible person. She understood that they didn't want to tell her because they didn't want her to be sad.

But after keeping it a secret for so many days, she unexpectedly learned the whole truth early this morning. This was clearly intentional. Who did this on purpose?

Madam Qin kept her suspicions to herself, looked at Qin Wan again, and gently called her name in her ear.

Old Madam Qin's voice seemed to have a magical power; Qin Wan, who was unconscious, heard someone calling her.

She followed the sound and saw a door, so she went inside.

"Miss, Miss, you're awake!"

Evening Frost exclaimed, and in an instant everyone crowded around.

Qin Wan struggled to lift her eyelids; the bright light around her made her eyes sting.

After trying a few times, she slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the person from her dream.

"grandmother."

Qin Wan's voice was weak and trembling, but when she saw Old Madam Qin, she still managed a smile.

Han Shu, her eyes glistening with tears, looked at Qin Wan, assuming that the first thing Qin Wan would call out to upon waking was her, her own mother.

But when she heard Qin Wan call out "Grandmother," a moment of disappointment flashed through her mind.

It's okay, you can call "mother" a second time too.

But Han Shu waited for a long time, but Qin Wan didn't call her name, or even look at her.

Han Shu felt a sharp pain in her heart. Was she blaming herself?

She blamed herself for not turning down the Empress's summons on her behalf.

But how could she know that the Empress would keep her in the palace? What did that have to do with her?

Han Shu felt inexplicably wronged and a little jealous.

Why isn't her daughter closest to her?

When Wan Shuang saw that Qin Wan had woken up, she quickly went to summon the royal physician.

After a diagnosis and treatment,

"Madam, Madam, the Fourth Miss is alright now. She's just very weak. She needs to rest and take medication to help her recover!"

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

Old Madam Qin wiped away her tears and looked at Qin Wan with heartache. She thought about how Qin Wan's pale face had been like this in the more than ten years she had been by Old Madam Qin's side.

The more Madam Qin looked at him, the more heartbroken she became; it felt like her heart was breaking.

"Grandmother, I'm alright!" Qin Wan seemed to see the old lady's distress, so she sat up and comforted her.

"It's alright, it's alright..." Old Madam Qin kept repeating this sentence.

Perhaps due to the previous sadness, or the relaxation after tension, she collapsed in front of Qin Wan before Old Madam Qin could finish speaking.

"grandmother!"

Qin Wan was terrified and instinctively reached out to grab the old lady Qin, who was about to fall to the ground, but she had just woken up and was very weak.

She watched helplessly as Old Madam Qin's sleeve slipped from her hand.

She was so close to catching her grandmother.

Fortunately, the maid behind her reacted quickly and caught Old Madam Qin, otherwise she would have really fallen to the ground.

The physician hadn't gone far when he was called back.

When Madam Qin collapsed in Wanyue Courtyard, she was treated there, as it was convenient for her.

Qin Wan got up despite her own discomfort; she was more worried about her grandmother's health than her own.

"how's it going?"

Qin Wan's face turned pale, and she asked with great concern.

"Madam, Fourth Miss, the Old Madam was already ill, and when she learned that Fourth Miss was sick, she was extremely anxious. Now that she is alright, this sudden relief..."

The sudden rise and fall stimulated the old lady's body, causing her to faint. We must never subject her to such stimulation again!

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Why was her grandmother's health deteriorating day by day?

Wan Shuang supported Qin Wan and told her about everything that had happened in the mansion over the past few days.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan froze, suppressing her anger, and asked.

"Granny Sun, the news of my illness these past few days has been suppressed by Father and has not reached Jingxin Courtyard. Why did Grandmother know about my illness so early this morning?"

Before he finished speaking, Su Yan'er lowered her head and her face turned ugly.
