Chapter 211 The storm arises
The old lady is just checking the situation and will be back soon. Doesn't it mean that such a simple matter also requires Wei Chen's consent? "
As soon as Qiu Ju finished speaking, she looked at Old Madam Jiang and said flatteringly, "Old Madam, what I said is right, isn't it?"
Madam Jiang gave her a deep look, and Qiuju's heart suddenly tightened, and she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Madam Jiang just looked at the maid next to her and said, "I'll be back soon. You two follow me, and the rest of you just wait here!"
"Yes!" Everyone listened to Madam Jiang's order and naturally did not dare to refute it, so they could only agree.
Over here, Wei Ma Ma had just finished making something and was about to have someone send it to the old lady, when a maid ran over from the other side of the pond in a hurry. Seeing Wei Ma Ma’s figure, she hurriedly shouted:
"Oh no! Oh no! Madam Wei, oh no, the old lady...she...fell into the pond!"
"what?"
Hearing the maid's words, Wei Mama dropped the tray in her hand. Instantly, there was a crackling sound, and the crispy lotus roots scattered all over the ground. Wei Mama didn't care about the wound on her hand, and hurriedly ran outside, saying as she ran:
"Take me there quickly, and ask someone to call the doctor and invite the third young lady over!"
"Yes!" Seeing Wei Mama's anxious look, everyone didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried outside to ask for a doctor.
The news that Madam Jiang fell into the pond spread quickly. For a while, everyone in the Duke's Mansion was in a panic, fearing that something bad might happen to Madam Jiang.
When Jiang Shuyu heard the news, her face turned pale instantly. She stood up suddenly, looked at the servant of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion with a sharp gaze and asked:
"What did you say? The old lady accidentally fell into the pond?"
After Jiang Shuyu finished speaking, she looked at Yu Lan and said, "Yu Lan, go get the carriage ready. We'll go over and take a look!"
"Yes! Miss, I will prepare it right away." Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Yu Lan did not dare to delay for a moment and walked out immediately.
Jiang Shuyu watched Yu Lan leave and immediately walked outside. Seeing the servant lowering his eyes, Jiang Shuyu quickly looked at him and said:
"What on earth is going on? Why did the old lady suddenly come to the pond? Tell me in detail!"
Seeing Jiang Shuyu's fierce eyes, the servant suddenly felt nervous and looked at Jiang Shuyu and stammered:
"Replying to the Third Miss, today the old lady saw that the weather was nice, so she was in a good mood and took a few maids to enjoy the scenery in the courtyard. I don't know why the old lady ended up at the pond. It had just rained a few days ago, and the ground was slippery. The old lady accidentally fell into the pond.
Although the doctor said that the old lady was rescued in time and there was nothing serious, just a little shock, and she would be fine after a while, Wei Ma Ma was still worried, so she asked me to ask the young lady to go and take a look.
Yu Qiu couldn't help but frown when she heard what the servant said. Then she looked at her disapprovingly and said, "What's going on? The old lady has so many servants around her, how could she fall into the pond for no reason? I'm afraid someone has plotted against her!"
Listening to Yuqiu's words, the servant hurriedly reminded:
"Miss Yuqiu, you can't say that! Everyone in the Duke's Mansion respects the old lady. Now that the eldest daughter has just married, the Duke's wife is afraid that the old lady will be bored, so she finds ways to make her happy every day. The old lady's health has recovered very well during this period.
It was just that today, the old lady had a sudden urge to go out and enjoy the scenery, so she came out to relax. She never thought of such a thing, which no one wants to see! The lady is strict in managing the household, and there will definitely be no such ungrateful person who would come to murder the old lady!
Yu Qiu also knew that her words were rash. Fortunately, this happened in the general's mansion and did not spread outside. Otherwise, she would have been punished.
Jiang Shuyu had already made up her mind about the argument between the two. Given Yan's current situation, she was probably hoping that the old lady would live a few more years, so she would naturally not have any plans to harm her. However, her grandmother was always vigilant, so why did she suddenly fall into the pond today? Could this really be an accident? But she felt something was wrong.
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Jiang Shuyu looked at the servant and said, "Did anything unusual happen in the mansion today?"
Suppressing his uneasiness, the servant looked at Jiang Shuyu and said quickly, "Miss, today is just like usual, there is nothing unusual happening in the mansion."
As they were talking, Yu Lan came over. Seeing Jiang Shuyu had already arrived at the door, he looked at her and said respectfully, "Miss, the carriage is ready. Let Jinshu accompany you!"
Listening to Yu Lan's words, Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly, and then took Jin Shu and the other two to walk towards the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
At this time, in Guiyan Hall, Madam Jiang was lying on the bed with a frown on her face. She looked at her sprained ankle with a trace of regret in her eyes.
"I finally managed to go out today, but now my ankle is injured. I'm afraid I won't be able to go out for a while!"
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Moreover, the old lady is now so old that she can't compare with those young people. Naturally, she can't move around freely. Fortunately, the old lady didn't fall into the water. Although it's not winter now, the water in this pond is still freezing cold. If the old lady fell in, I'm afraid she would be in great danger! Thank God!"
Thinking of the scene at that time, Wei Mama still couldn't stop feeling scared. If the old lady hadn't stopped the man, she really couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be.
Listening to Nanny Wei's words, Old Madam Jiang couldn't help but lower her eyes. Thinking of the situation at that time, Old Madam Jiang was also frightened. If Jiang Wanrong hadn't appeared in time, she would have been doomed this time!!!
Thinking of Jiang Wanrong, a trace of worry flashed in Old Madam Jiang's eyes. She looked at Madam Wei and said:
"How is Wanrong? What did the doctor say? The situation was so dangerous, why did she jump down and tiptoe for an old woman like me? Now her wedding is coming up soon. If anything happens to her, how can I explain it to Prince Rui?"
Listening to Madam Jiang mention Jiang Wanrong, Wei Mama's eyes flashed with gratitude. In the past, she only thought that the second girl was arrogant and unstable. She didn't expect that this time, she actually risked her life to prevent the old lady from falling into the water. Thinking of her previous prejudice against her, Wei Mama couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Just based on her life-saving grace this time, she also admired her very much.
