Chapter 363 Duke An’s Mansion(1)_1
Steward Cao said, "Look at what you’re saying, young master, isn’t the Mansion of Duke An your marital home? If you wish to enter, you can do so at any time, why the need to announce it? Honestly speaking, in the affairs of the past, our Duke was also cornered by the old duke and had no choice but to sacrifice Fourth Miss. After Fourth Miss left, the Duke was incessantly worried and filled with regret, all these years, he hasn’t forgotten Fourth Miss. If Fourth Miss suddenly returns now, Duke Hou and Madam will surely be overjoyed. Even Lady Du, her illness might miraculously heal after seeing you!"
"What? She is full of ailments? How could it be? exactly what kind of disease has she caught?"
Lady Du did not believe her father and stepmother would worry about her, nor did she believe they would feel guilty about the past events. However, upon hearing that her mother was gravely ill, she truly believed it.
Before she left many years ago, her mother’s health was not very good. With all the worries and hardships over the years, her health must have deteriorated further, causing Lady Du to grow more anxious.
Steward Cao sighed and said, "Madam Du has always been in delicate health; the imperial physician took a look at her recently and said she has fallen sick due to overwork and excessive worry, damaging her health. I’m afraid she doesn’t have much time left..."
Upon hearing this, Lady Du was shocked and distressed. She grabbed Mu Zhongqing’s clothes and sobbed, "Husband, I need to return to the mansion to check in person. No matter what, I need to go back, even if they want to beat or kill me. I must go back to see for myself..."
"Mm, alright," Mu Zhongqing replied.
Mu Zhongqing could understand Lady Du’s mood. He did not feel good about letting Lady Du return alone and immediately took her hand, without hesitation, saying, "I will go with you!"
