Chapter 1081: Street Riot
Everyone worked together to lift the fainted Old Madam back into the sedan chair, preparing to carry her back to the mansion and summon a doctor for her treatment.
However, the crowd watching the commotion was too large, completely blocking the road so they couldn’t pass.
Old Lady Zhang, flustered and pacing in circles, finally shouted at the crowd, "The Old Madam has fainted, you all saw it! We urgently need to take her back to the mansion for treatment. Make way immediately! If something happens to the Old Madam, you won’t be able to escape responsibility!"
It was true—the Old Madam was General Situ’s mother.
And Situ Yongjie was a prominent official in the court. If anything happened to his mother, even The Emperor would surely be alerted.
Although the crowd loved watching drama, when it came to matters of life and death concerning the Old Madam, they didn’t dare delay. One after another, people began to make way.
Old Lady Zhang led the servants, carrying the sedan chair, and rushed back to the General’s Mansion.
Old Lady Mo was dumbfounded. By the time she and her family processed what had happened, the Old Madam’s sedan chair was already out of sight.
"This... this... what are they doing? This is too much! They’re not even handling our matters!" After spending the entire morning involved in a scene like this, now it seemed they’d still be left cold and hungry tonight. Old Lady Mo was deeply indignant.
The onlookers nearby quickly tried to console them: "Don’t be anxious! Can’t you see the Old Madam has fainted from rage? Everything has its priorities!"
