Chapter 117: Entering the Thief
Wang Yongzhu patted her chest after closing the door, "Oh dear, my head hurts..."
When Lady Jiang came to call her for breakfast, she had just left her room, only to find that aside from herself and Lady Jiang, everyone else seemed to have disappeared.
"Wasn’t it time for breakfast? Where is everyone?" Wang Yongzhu asked, puzzled.
"Your second uncle said he wanted to go check the situation in the ancestral hall first, and your father went with him. Several of the boys along with Jinhua also went. Your mother hasn’t gotten up since early morning because she said she is feeling unwell. You can start eating, and I will take some food to her first," Lady Jiang said as she scooped up a bowl of porridge and cut a thick plate of pickled vegetables to take to Old Granny Zhang’s room.
Upon hearing Old Granny Zhang was unwell, Wang Yongzhu became anxious. She was fine last night, but all of a sudden, she felt sick this morning. Could it be that she strained something last night, or something else?
With that thought, she couldn’t eat. She grabbed the plate and said, "No need, I’ll go check on mother."
She then headed towards the main house.
In the inner room, Old Granny Zhang was lying in bed fully clothed. She heard the commotion and moved a bit but didn’t roll over.
"Mother, what’s wrong? Where doesn’t it feel good? Did you twist something last night, or did Wang Daxiu hurt you?" Wang Yongzhu threw out a barrage of concerned questions.
Her hand reached for Old Granny Zhang’s forehead.
Disturbed by the fuss, Old Granny Zhang could not stay reclined any longer; she sat up with a hearty appearance and good spirits.
