Chapter 391
Qin Jiu understood Gu Zezhi’s meaning. Did he suspect that there was something hidden about Old Madam Lin’s sudden illness?
No way! Qin Zening was extremely anxious and flew onto the horse.
The siblings hurried to the Marquis mansion with Cui momo.
The night was as dark as ink, and stars like gemstones filled the night sky, and this tranquil night was shattered by the sound of horse hooves and knocking on the gate.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The knock on the door was urgent, and soon a concierge opened the door, seeing the Qin siblings of the eldest house, the concierge was a little surprised. He said, “Please wait, Master, I’ll send someone to inform the Madam…”
Since the separation of the eldest house and the Marquis’s Mansion every time Qin Zening and Qin Jiu comes to visit, they would be stopped by the concierge for a while to report their arrival. Originally, Qin Zening didn’t care, but today he was worried about Old Madam Qin and decided to break in.
The carriages and horses of the eldest house trespass through the side gate disregarding the obstruction of the Marquis’s servants and rushed to Ronghe Hall in a chaotic manner.
Well, to put it bluntly, the servants of the Marquis’s Mansion were just pretending to stop them, after all, Qin Zening’s future was promising now, while the Marquis’s was in a precarious state of uncertainty.
And since they were already familiar with the way, Qin Zening, together with his brother and sister came to Ronghe Hall by themselves.
Madam Su was also there sitting in the hall room leisurely drinking tea and when she saw Qin Zening and the others came in, she only casually and sarcastically said . “Oh, isn’t this my eldest nephew, what noble business do you have to visit me in your free time?”
“Ai, you come at a bad time, your second aunt doesn’t have time to entertain you today…”
Qin Zening didn’t even bother to say a word to her and went directly to the inner room of the East Room. Qin Jiu and Qin Zeyu followed Qin Zening behind, following his lead in everything.
In the inner room, the air was dull and silent.
Old Madam Qin was lying on a babu bead with her eyes tightly closed and her face was as pale as paper, while her body was covered with a thin sapphire blue quilt.
Standing by the babu bed were Ning momo and two big maidservants, nursing the old madam looking panicked and at a loss. Seeing Qin Zening and the others coming, they hurriedly bowed.
Qin Zening looked at the unconscious Old Madam Qin on the bed and asked with a frown, “Where is the physician?”
Before Ning momo could reply, Madam Su who came in behind Qin Zeyu answered before her. “I have already sent someone to invite one.”
While talking, Madam Su walked over to Qin Zening and said peculiarly. “Ning’er, it’s getting late now, and it’s already the first watch of the night*. Since the eldest house has separated, and this is the Marquis’s mansion, it is inconvenient for me as a woman to entertain you.”
(*7-9PM)
Her intention was to clearly chase Qin Zening and the others with him.
Qin Sheng, and her second son, Qin Zezhou closely followed Madam Su’s side. The brother and sister looked at Qin Zening and the other disapprovingly, thinking that they were pretending to be filial!
Qin Zeyu couldn’t help but interject. “Second Aunt, it’s been an hour and a half, right? Why is the physician still not here!”
As he sees it, Madam Su didn’t even send anyone to get a physician!
Madam Su stroke her sleeve as she said expressionlessly. “Yu’er, you don’t know, since the physician in Huichun Hall that our marquis often hires happened to be out so we can only go to another clinic to invite an expert.”
Giving Cui momo a sidelong glance, Madam Su’s heart was full of resentment: This meddlesome slave, she would sell her sooner or later!
Madam Su once again chases out the visitors. “It’s late, so I’m sorry for not entertaining the guests.”
“Someone, send the master, and the third miss out!”
As soon as Madam Su gave the order, seven to eight maidservants with large arms and round waists immediately rushed into the inner room, making the not-so-small room suddenly crowded.
The maidservant apologize and said with a smile, “Master, don’t make it difficult for this servant…”
Qin Zening’s first reaction was to take a step forward, protecting Qin Jiu behind him and then speedily pull out the long sword from the ebony scabbard, the silver blade clattered in the air.
“Who dares!”
Qin Zening only gave two words.
He was a person who had gone to the battlefield and experienced the trials of life and death, with blood on his hands and an undisguised murderous aura exuding his body, causing Madam Su and several maidservants to shiver.
Seeing how Madam Su acted, Qin Jiu secretly winked at Qin Zeyu and mouthed two words: Imperial Physician.
With Madam Su’s attitude, if the imperial physician arrives, she would be afraid of chasing the imperial physician out.
Qin Zeyu immediately understood and nodded, he then slipped out in the middle of the chaos.
The large maidservants looked at Madam Su with panicked expressions, after all, the most they usually do was to teach some young maidservants and daughter-in-law a lesson. Honestly speaking, they were only street shrews so as soon as Qin Zening drew his sword, they immediately give up.
Useless, really useless! Madam Su’s heart was even more hateful, and her face turned blue as she yelled, “Someone, call the guards!”
This was the Marquis of Zhongyi’s Mansion, and it was not Qin Zening, this brat’s turn to show off his authority here!
Immediately, a young maidservant followed the order and ran out to find the guards, however, before the Marqusi’s guards arrived, the imperial physician Qin Zeyu brought arrived first.
“Imperial Physician Xu, this way please, my grandmother is inside.”
Qin Zeyu led a gray-haired imperial physician into the inner room.
Madam Su’s eyes widened, clenching her teeth she said angrily. “This is the Marquis of Zhongyi’s residence!”
