Madam Wang dragged her weary and exhausted body back to the Wu Family, feeling so dizzy that she almost fell to the ground.
"Madam!" Nanny Wei quickly supported her, half dragging her to the chaise lounge, and then called the maid to bring water and food.
Madam Wang waved her hand, her voice hoarse as she said, "Nanny, fetch so Cooling Oil for , my head is very dizzy."
Nanny Wei looked at her face, almost devoid of any color, and her lips surrounded by blisters, feeling a deep ache in her heart. She quickly retrieved the dicinal oil and applied it to Madam Wang’s temples and forehead.
"Madam, should we call a doctor to take a look at you? You look very unwell!" Nanny Wei said anxiously.
Madam Wang shook her head, "I just need to rest for a while."
With that, she slumped on the chaise, holding her forehead with one hand, eyes tightly closed, but tears kept flowing.
Nanny Wei felt even more sorrowful watching her and brought warm water, urging, "Madam, even if you don’t want to see a doctor, you must eat sothing and drink so water. You haven’t eaten anything all day."
"Nanny, how can I eat? The Wang Family has fallen, Yanyan and Haohao are about to be lost, how can I eat? Marquis Yongan’s Mansion is gone, sobbing." Madam Wang lay on the pillow, crying uncontrollably.
She didn’t understand how this wealth just vanished, in a matter of days, her maiden family was declared fallen. Is this the legendary collapse like a mountain?
What to do in the future? The Wang Family degraded to commoners, what can be done?
"The Emperor, he’s so ruthless, Yanyan is still his woman, how could he be so heartless!" Madam Wang cried out.
Nanny Wei’s face changed dramatically, instinctively covering Madam Wang’s mouth, whispering, "Madam, you’re confused!"
Such rebellious words, how dare they be spoken. If this reached the Emperor, wouldn’t the Wu Family also be implicated in disaster?
Madam Wang was rely angry and resentful in the mont; she wouldn’t truly dare speak against the Emperor. Nanny Wei’s reminder quickly silenced her.
"Madam, even if you don’t want to eat, you must. Now the Marquis’ Mansion... the Wang Family is in such difficulty, you might also need to help. What if you also collapse, what would be done?" Nanny Wei advised.
Madam Wang was about to speak when Wu Yining and her siblings rushed in.
"Mother, mother, is it true that Grandmother’s house has been confiscated?" Wu Yining asked loudly, looking shocked.
Madam Wang lifted her head, seeing the siblings, said, "Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to stay in the Old Madam’s yard today?"
"Mother, we all know now. Uncle’s family was truly confiscated by the Emperor?" Wu Yilin asked.
Wu Yiyu then asked, "Mother, will our family also be confiscated? We are closely related to Uncle’s family."
Madam Wang’s whole body stiffened, scolding, "Yuyu, don’t speak nonsense."
Wu Yiyu pouted and wanted to argue, but Wu Yilin held him back, saying, "Younger brother Yu, stop talking, let’s hear what Mother has to say first."
Unfortunately, Wu Yiyu was not willing, he shook off her hand, saying, "I heard about the extermination of nine generations in school. Cousin Hao committed a capital offense; we can’t be implicated. Mother, don’t go to Uncle’s house anymore. I don’t want people to call us criminals."
"Yuyu!" Madam Wang, upon hearing this, felt as if a heavy hamr had smashed into her heart. She couldn’t believe her son would be so cold-hearted, that was his maternal grandmother’s family!
Madam Wang’s heart ached intensely, gritting her teeth as she looked at Wu Yining and the others. "And you? Do you also think this way? That now Uncle’s family has fallen, you shouldn’t associate with them?"
