Chapter 98 The Old Lady is Dying

Xie Lan massaged the Second Madam’s feet before going to the study.

Xie Changting frowned when he saw her, "Why did you massage the feet of the wife of the Yongchang Marquis's son when I asked you to come over?"

Xie Lan was a little surprised. Was he sending a message to let her come over just to help her out?
"Since Dad knows that I massage their feet, he should know that it is Grandmother's order. If I don't obey, she will punish me again."

Xie Changting looked unhappy. "It's fine this time. From now on, let the maid do this kind of thing."

"What if Grandmother insists that I do it again?"

"Tell her that this is my intention. There are maids and servants in the mansion, so you don't need to do it.

You are my daughter, Xie Changting. These servant jobs are not suitable for you. If you spread the news, it will damage your reputation."

Xie Lan understood that this was because they were afraid that her reputation would be ruined, she would be looked down upon, and she would not be able to get close to the rich and powerful.

She just pretended not to know, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Dad. Let the maid do this kind of thing in the future."

Seeing that she was obedient, Xie Changting was very satisfied. "Three days from now will be the White Crane Academy's recruitment day. Don't go out during these two days. Stay in the mansion and study hard, so that you won't fail the examination."

"I can spare it."

Xie Changting waved his hand, "Okay, go back and rest."

Xie Lan left the study and did not go to the old lady's Mingsong Hall, but went directly back to his own Tinglan Pavilion.

On the way, Tiechui was unhappy, "Girl, why did you let them humiliate you?"

Xie Lan knew that she was worried about her, but she didn't care much, "Your girl, I'm bored, so I'm looking for some fun."

Tiechui looked at her disapprovingly, "Miss, if you want to have fun, try a different way next time. Otherwise, if something like this happens again, I can't guarantee that I will be able to resist the urge to do it."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Xie Lan returned to his yard, drew some talismans, and went straight to bed.

This had never happened before. Usually when she was tired she would take a nap on the beauty couch.

Aunt Zhang came over with a worried look on her face. "Miss, you are not feeling well. I will ask Tiechui to get you a doctor, shall I?"

Xie Lan waved her hand, "Don't worry, Mammy, I'm fine. I've had a good sleep now, so I'll have the energy to watch the show tonight.

There is nothing to do now, so you and Tiechui should go down and have some rest. If you follow me at night, I am afraid you won’t have time to sleep.”

Knowing that Xie Lan was fine, Aunt Zhang was relieved. When she heard that there was a play to watch, she also became interested, "Okay, then I'll go and rest, and accompany the young lady to watch the play tonight."

The master and his two servants slept for an afternoon and had dinner in the evening. Xie Lan was bored and started drawing talismans again.

Tiechui glanced at the few books covered in dust in the corner.

"Girl, the entrance exam is the day after tomorrow. Are you really not going to read those books?"

Xie Lan didn't even raise his head, "I won't look."

Tiechui knew that her idea was right, so he didn't try to persuade her anymore.

Xie Lan concentrated on drawing the talisman, and time passed quickly.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep except Xie Lan's yard.

The old lady was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by the urge to urinate.

She turned over and sat up, waiting for Aunt Zhao to put her clothes on and help her put on her shoes, then waved at her, "Okay, no need to help me, go make me some honey water to moisten my throat."

Nanny Zhao responded, turned around and took a few steps.

Suddenly there was a bang behind me, followed by a scream.

Nanny Zhao was startled and turned around to see the old lady lying on the ground with blood in her mouth, crying in pain. She turned back in a panic and tried to help her up.

But Aunt Zhao was so frightened that her hands and feet went limp. For a moment, she was unable to help the old lady up. She could only desperately shout outside, "Hurry up, someone, the old lady has fallen..."

A maid heard the noise and hurried in to help, but accidentally touched the old lady's foot.

The old lady was so angry that she slapped her in the face.

The maid was caught off guard and staggered, and subconsciously let go of her hand. The old lady fell back to the ground with a thump, and immediately screamed again.

Nanny Zhao and the maid were frightened even more by her screams.

Fortunately, the maids and old women who came over came to help and lifted the old lady from the ground and put her on the bed.

Seeing the old lady’s feet swollen like pig’s trotters, someone was frightened and exclaimed, “Old lady, your feet…”

The old lady, who was in excruciating pain, looked down and almost fainted.

Zhao Ma's hands were shaking. "Quick, go get the doctor, and then go notify the master and the mistress."

Seeing the old lady in such a miserable state, someone panicked and knocked over the basin of water, and the medicine that the maid had found with great difficulty was also knocked over.

Seeing the messy dormitory, the old lady almost fainted.

After the maid fetched new water, Aunt Zhao was just about to wipe the blood off the old lady's face with a handkerchief.

The old lady's stomach ached. "Help...help me to go to the toilet."

The old lady was shaking with pain and could hardly speak clearly, but she was in a hurry to change her clothes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his feet touched the ground, he let out another scream of pain.

Seeing that she really couldn't walk, several maids had to carry her to the concubine's room.

Xie Changting was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by a scream. In a daze, he thought he was dreaming.

But soon, the night watchwoman came to report, "Master, Madam, something bad has happened to the old lady."

Xie Changting was so scared that he jumped up, put on his clothes quickly and walked out.

Liu was woken up and was very angry, but she didn't dare to get angry when she heard that it was the old lady who was in trouble. Seeing that Xie Changting had already left, she could only change her clothes and rush over.

The old lady's feet were already in pain, and she had to run back and forth to the toilet several times. After all this ordeal, she looked like she was dying.

Seeing the miserable state of the old lady, Xie Changting was shocked and angry, "What's going on? How did you serve her?"

Nanny Zhao opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Xie Lan's dark eyes suddenly flashed through her mind, and she shuddered instantly.

Granny Sun glanced at her and knelt down, "Master, I don't know what happened.

The old lady was fine during the day and there was nothing unusual compared to the past.

However, the eldest girl massaged the old lady's feet today, and I don't know if she got hurt, which caused the old lady to suffer this pain."

Liu glanced at Nanny Sun inconspicuously, then quickly retracted her gaze, "Master, Miss Lan did massage mother's feet at Mingsong Hall today.

I originally thought that she had not learned how to serve others, so I did not allow her to knead. But Lan girl insisted that she was skillful and nothing would happen, so she insisted on kneading for me.

It's all my fault that I was confused for a moment and didn't stop her."

Xie Changting frowned and saw that the old lady was sweating profusely in pain. He hesitated for a while, then turned around and instructed the maid.

"Go and ask the eldest girl to come over."

Xie Lan had known about the loud noise in Mingsong Hall in the middle of the night. At this moment, he was leisurely eating melon seeds and listening to the old lady's screams.

As soon as the maid left, Xie Dahe and Zhu arrived.

Not seeing Xie Dahe and Peng, Xie Changting's face darkened. "What's wrong with the second brother and his wife? They didn't even ask someone to come and see when Mom was in trouble, or to rush to help."

In fact, the second husband already knew that something had happened to the old lady. It was not that she didn't want to come, but that she couldn't come.

Because she is even more miserable than the old lady at this moment.

　Today I contributed more than 600 yuan to the hospital. The total medical expenses during this period are equivalent to not only working for nothing last month, but also having to pay a large sum of money out of pocket.

　　Ahhh, I really want to have a spiritual spring space like those heroines, where all my diseases can be cured by just drinking a cup of spiritual spring water.

　　(There is no spiritual spring, so let me make a wish! Heaven and earth, please bless me and let all the book friends to dream of the first prize of the double-color ball lottery, okay?)
