Looking at Li Shuangtong's expression, Li Manting became even more impatient. She brushed away the small hand that tightly gripped her sleeve and impatiently said, ”The ice cellar is so cold, how could there be any sound? If Third Sister wants to go in and take a look, Second Sister will have to go back by herself.” With that, he didn't bother with her anymore and turned to leave.
Li Shuangtong was already a bit scared, but seeing that she was about to leave, she naturally refused to look around by herself. Immediately, she locked the ice cellar door and chased after Li Manting while calling out, ”Second Sis, wait for me.”
”Big sister, this time it's all thanks to you helping me.” Yu Juan giggled as she sent Cai Yun out of her room.
When Cai Yun came out, he realized that Madame Zhou was still waiting for him to get the ice cubes, so he sped up his pace.
As soon as he opened the icehouses, he saw Madame Zhou lying unconscious on the ground. His heart was in a fluster, but he couldn't think of anything to say.
She threw herself at Madame Zhou. When she held onto her, she could feel that her entire body was ice-cold. Caiyun tearfully took in Madame Zhou, but no matter how she called out to her, she couldn't wake her up.
Cai Yun had no choice but to quickly run towards the side chamber.
”Madam.” Caiyun had just run to the side hall to see Lady Wang when she hurriedly said, ”Madame, quickly go see Madame Zhou. Madame Zhou fainted in the ice cellar.”
”What?” Lady Wang looked at Caiyun with some shock. With an ugly expression, she said to her wife, ”Other than a few matters, I would like to take a look first. I hope everyone doesn't mind.”
After the others heard Lady Wang's words, they all echoed her sentiments, ”That is only natural. Madam, you should handle the matters of the estate first.”
Wang Shi nodded and did not say anything else. It was not good for the others in the side chamber to follow them out to watch a joke.
Along the way, Lady Wang asked all the reasons why she changed. It was hard to tell whether she was in a good or bad mood as she tightly pursed her lips. On the way, Caiyun's heart trembled a few times.
”Carry Madame Zhou back first, then send someone to inform the old master and the medicine man to come over.” Lady Wang stood in front of the ice cellar, looking at the now pale and pale Madame Zhou as she laid on the ground.
After the maidservants helped Aunt Zhou up and saw the pool of blood on the ground, they were so frightened that they cried out. Of course, Lady Wang saw all of this.
His gaze swept across the few maidservants who were holding on to Aunt Zhou. After seeing that they were all so frightened by him that they stopped talking, he finally said, ”Take Aunt Zhou back!”
”Master.” Li Xiangnan had sent some of the guests away after he found out about what had happened. Only then did he quickly come over. He looked at Aunt Zhou, whose lips were a little purple from the cold. He clenched his fists and asked, ”What's going on?” There was a hint of anger in his voice.
Lady Wang bit her lips and forced herself to calm down before she explained, ”It's just that the room was too stuffy, so I sent Caiyun to the icehouse to get some ice cubes. On the way, Caiyun was tripped by Yujuan, while Madame Zhou herself rushed to the icehouse to get some ice cubes. Somehow, she was locked inside.”
