Bai Shuilian watched as Nanny and her group took the child away, her body went limp, about to collapse to the ground.
Shuang Lu quickly moved to catch her soft body: "Auntie."
Mother Quan also hurriedly stepped forward, helping her up, only then noticing that Bai Shuilian’s body was trembling uncontrollably. She couldn’t help but say, "Auntie, you need to stay strong, the Fifth Miss and others are still relying on you to bring them back."
Bai Shuilian seed not to hear.
"Lian’er."
As soon as Song Zhiqing entered the courtyard gate, he saw this scene and quickly ran over.
Bai Shuilian looked at him, grabbing his arm, her lips quivering: "Sanlang, our child, the child..."
She was so agitated that her eyes rolled back, and she fainted entirely.
"Quickly, call the household doctor." Song Zhiqing imdiately beca anxious, grabbed her by the waist, and carried her into the house.
...
Plum Garden.
Madam Lu sat dazedly on the Arhat bed, looking like she had lost her soul, her eyes devoid of any spirit.
There was so noise outside; it was Nanny bringing the children over, perhaps because they were in an unfamiliar place, they cried quite fiercely.
Madam Lu beca increasingly annoyed and impatient, closing her eyes briefly, her hands on her knees clenched into fists.
There was noise at the door, and Mother Zhou, with hands folded, said: "Madam, Nanny is here."
Madam Lu took a deep breath and stood up.
Nanny ca in, with Mother Zhou personally lifting the curtain for her entrance.
"Nanny, thank you for your trouble." Madam Lu bowed in greeting.
Nanny dared not accept her courtesy, sidestepped, and said: "Third Madam, the Fifth Miss and Young Master have been brought over."
"Thank you, Nanny, for making the trip." Madam Lu looked at Mother Zhou, who nodded, went into the inner room, and soon ca out with a wallet, handing it to Nanny.
Nanny frowned, not taking it, and said, "This old servant only dared to make the trip because of the Grand Madam’s order, it can’t be considered a trouble. Third Madam, your gesture makes uncomfortable."
Madam Lu walked over, personally took the wallet and stuffed it into Nanny’s hand, smiling wryly, "Nanny, please accept it. Today we troubled Mother, and almost caused a big incident. I am full of regret. Over there at Mother’s, we still depend on you to take care of her, to persuade her not to be angry with us useless bunch. If her health is affected by anger, it would be our grave mistake."
Hearing her sincere and flattering tone, Nanny couldn’t help but sigh, holding the wallet, and after thinking she said: "Grand Madam is angry, but actually, what angers her the most is you, Third Madam."
Madam Lu was taken aback.
"What I am about to say may not be pleasant to hear. If you can listen, think it over carefully. If not, just consider it as this old servant’s nonsense." Nanny continued, "Why do I say Grand Madam is angry with you? It’s because you spoke of leaving the household for such a trivial matter. You said that so easily, disregarding the teachings Grand Madam painstakingly imparted to you over the years."
"Grand Madam has been strong all her life, and she actually detests won who debase themselves the most. You saying you wish to leave the household, even if it’s in anger, if the Third Master took it seriously and imdiately signed the divorce paper with you, how would you deal with it?"
Madam Lu’s body shook, her lips moved: "Nanny, I was blinded by anger."
"That’s why you are wrong, Third Madam. As the saying goes, you can eat indiscriminately but not speak indiscriminately. You spoke carelessly, but did you consider the phrase ’spilt water cannot be gathered up’?"
