The next morning. King Qi's estate.
Princess Anyang was currently dressing under maidservant's care when a maidservant ran into the house in a hurry. Her expression was somewhat panicked as she reported:
”Princess, news came from the Liu Estate. General Liu is missing and his whereabouts are unknown. Mrs. Liu was overly worried and fell ill last night.”
”What?” Hearing this news, Princess Anyang frowned, traces of unease flashing past her heart and eyes.
”Bring out a few precious medicinal ingredients from the storage room for me, pack them and then prepare the carriages and horses. I want to make a trip to General's Mansion.” The princess said in an anxious but calm manner.
After driving all the way to General's Mansion, he noticed that there were already a few luxuriously decorated carriages parked at General's Mansion's entrance. A few lines of people got down from the carriage and greeted each other. It was rather lively.
Princess Anyang was not in a hurry to get off the carriage, she opened the curtains of the carriage and looked coldly at the noble ladies gathered together, she snorted lightly.
”From the looks of it, the news of General Liu's disappearance and illness must have spread throughout the entire imperial government.” The maidservants accompanying them also looked outside and said.
She put down the curtain, looked at them with an unfathomable expression, and muttered to herself: ”These people are very eager, and many of the people who have come today, want to inquire about the true nature of General's Mansion.”
The maid also nodded thoughtfully and asked, ”Princess, are we going back down?”
The princess straightened the front of her clothes: ”Of course we are going. Since our Liu Family are in a difficult situation, let's go and see what we can do.”
After getting off the carriage, the group of noblewomen entered the mansion.
Liu Mengdia pretended to wait on Mrs. Liu for the whole night. At this point, she could no longer hold on and was about to fall asleep. Her maid, Honglan, knew of the arrival of the noble women and immediately went into the house to wake Liu Mengdia up.
”Miss, the wives of the court ladies are here to visit the old lady. Be alert.”
Hearing that, Liu Mengdia immediately opened her eyes, and anxiously asked Honglan to give him water to wipe him off quickly, then tidied up and prepared to welcome him.
”I didn't know that you ladies would be here without respect. It's my fault.” After all of the noble women sat down, Liu Mengdia immediately bowed to everyone to apologize.
”Hey, how can I blame you? We didn't inform you in advance when we came. You're not an immortal, so you can't blame us. Quickly get up.”
Liu Mengdia bowed and then stood respectfully by the side of Mrs. Liu's bed, looking at the weak Mrs. Liu worriedly.
At this time, the Mrs. Liu coughed twice, and slowly opened her eyes. Liu Mengdia heard and immediately got Honglan to bring water. She personally helped the Mrs. Liu up, leaned on her chest, and carefully fed the water to the Mrs. Liu to drink.
When the noble woman saw Liu Mengdia taking care of the Mrs. Liu so carefully, she laughed and praised Liu Mengdia: ”Miss Liu is so considerate and capable, taking care of mother so meticulously.”
She was secretly happy, but she put on a pained expression on her face. ”My family has been through a lot of changes, and my mother has suddenly fallen ill. As a daughter, I can only wish I could suffer on behalf of my father and mother.” Mother, you must relax and take care of your body! ”
After he finished speaking, his tears gushed out. This scene caused everyone present to be moved.
Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said apologetically: ”Ladies and gentlemen, I am not grateful to you all for coming to see me today. It's just that with my current appearance, I am unable to receive you all.” After saying that, he coughed twice.
Seeing the current state of the Mrs. Liu, the noble madams had their own plans. They did not stay any longer and stood up to say a few words of blessings, preparing to leave.
