Chapter 202 Second Update
"Old Madam," Eldest Madam Zong immediately dropped the whip, filled with regret. "Old Madam, how did you get here?"
Who had spread the news? The people around her wouldn’t have, but in Yunqian’s courtyard, there were Old Madam’s people. Eldest Madam Zong felt both regret and urgency.
"Were you going to beat him to death?" Old Madam thought that she could not faint now. If she fainted, what would happen to her grandson? She forced herself to stand steady with the help of her female servant. "After all, he is your son. What kind of monstrous crime has he committed that you would strike him so mercilessly?"
Old Madam didn’t wait for Eldest Madam Zong to respond and had already rushed to Yunqian who was on the ground.
"My poor grandson, speak up, what mistake have you made to anger your mother so?"
"Old Madam, please get up—" Eldest Madam Zong was worried and anxious. If Old Madam found out about this issue, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the shock and something terrible might happen. What then?
"Grandmother, it is my fault. Mother’s reprimand is justified," Yunqian spoke.
"What are you waiting for? Summon the physician immediately, help your master up," Old Lady Zong didn’t want to hear any of it. What mistakes has her grandson made? It all comes down to the matter of slipping away this afternoon. How could she, after a few words, vent her anger on Yunqian?
"Old Madam, please stand up before we speak," Eldest Madam Zong went to help her, but Old Madam swept her hand away and began to get up slowly with the help of her maid and Yunqian.
At that moment, Gu Dao and Xi Feng finally found their opportunity to act, hurrying to help their Princely Heir. The physician wasn’t even needed to be called; the mansion had one ready, and someone had already gone to fetch him. The servants in the Eldest Madam’s quarters were quicker than theirs.
"Grandmother, please go back first. It is my lack of filial piety that you had to make this trip so late at night," Yunqian said, only then feeling the pain radiating from his back, but this was not to say there wasn’t a turning point in the situation. Gu Dao’s quick thinking in seeking help was evident.
