"What?" Grandmother Jia stopped smiling and stood up from the bed. With trembling hands, she pointed at the servant girl kneeling in front of her and shouted," W-What did you say?!"

The girl kowtowed loudly and cried,"Old Lady, Old Lady, Miss Lin, Miss Lin is vomiting blood! Her face was so hot, and her body was like ice. She begged the old lady to save the lady.”

Yuanyang's hand, which was draping clothes over Grandmother Jia, paused. She quickly changed into the thickest clothes and put them on Grandmother Jia. She advised,"Old Lady, don't be anxious. Miss Lin is very lucky. Perhaps she just caught a cold at night. At least you put on your clothes first. It's the coldest in the latter half of the night, so you should catch a cold.”

Grandmother Jia struggled to get up." That girl is the weakest. How can I wait? Quick, take me there!"”As she spoke, she got off the bed and a servant girl quickly put on her shoes for her.

Grandmother Jia was alarmed. In addition to Yuanyang, there were a few older maids, a dozen younger maids, servant girls, and a group of dozens of people. They also carried more than ten lanterns and walked through the corridors and alleys to Daiyu's side like a long dragon.

Grandmother Jia had just arrived and entered the room when she saw four or five little girls crying around Daiyu's bed. Zijuan was kneeling on the side of the bed, wiping Daiyu's sweat as she cried.

Seeing this, Grandmother Jia knew that things were not good. She pushed the servant girls aside and walked in. With the bedside lamp, she could see more clearly. At that moment, her heart was broken and she cried.

"Yu 'Er, you little b * stard. You're driving me crazy. If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain it to your mother in the future?”

When Grandmother Jia was young, she doted on Daiyu's mother, Jia Min. In her later years, it was the time for her to enjoy the happiness of her family. In one day, she suddenly heard that Jia Min had passed away. She was like a pearl in the palm of her hand, and her intestines were almost broken. It was not easy for Daiyu to come to her side to comfort her. If Daiyu…How would he explain it to his son-in-law?

Grandmother Jia clutched her chest, unable to say anything else in pain. She could only look at Daiyu, this "little evil debt", and wished she could replace her with her own body.

When Grandmother Jia cried, the whole house was filled with cries.

Yuanyang wiped away her tears and slowly helped Grandmother Jia to sit on the soft stool by the bed. She consoled," Old Lady, don't be too sad. Looking at Miss Lin, I'm afraid she has caught a cold. Miss Lin's body is a little weak, so she looks a little scary." Fortunately, Miss Lin came to the old lady's side. There were many good imperial physicians in the capital. If it was really Suzhou, it would be really worrying.”

Grandmother Jia wiped her tears and said,"Yes, you're right." But did he get someone to invite the imperial physician? Who did you invite?"

Zijuan took two steps forward on her knees and got closer to Grandmother Jia. She cried hoarsely,"Replying to Old Lady, our servant girl saw that Young Lady was seriously ill and was in a panic. She only wanted to guard Young Lady and did not know which imperial doctor to invite. He had asked Qingwen to go back to Second Grandmother, but she had not returned for some time.”

Hearing this, Grandmother Jia said angrily," Who is Qingwen? The young lady is sick. Why don't you quickly call the imperial physician over and still dare to hide?"! Perhaps Yu 'er has been lenient with you all. Let's let this go and tie you up and beat you to death. Let's see who dares to be disloyal in the future!”

Zi Juan quivered, and her heart felt like it had fallen off a cliff. For a moment, she forgot to cry.

Yuanyang said," Old Lady, don't be anxious. Miss Lin has always respected and loved you. She's very close to you. If you're also in a mess now, and Master Lin is far away in Suzhou, who else can Miss Lin point to besides you? Moreover, the lady was blessed and would be fine. If she knew that the old lady was sad for her, she would blame herself when she recovered.”

Grandmother Jia only took Daiyu's hand and called out "Yu 'er". However, after listening to Yuanyang's persuasion, she finally stopped crying.

Yuanyang continued," Don't worry, Old Lady. Second Young Lady Lin and Young Lady Lin are like blood sisters. Qingwen was personally given to Second Young Lady Lin by Old Lady. Firstly, it's Old Lady's gift. Secondly, Second Young Lady Lin's teachings. Qingwen definitely won't dare to delay for a moment. I think the imperial physician is already on the way with the medicine and will be here in the blink of an eye.”

The old lady wiped her tears and said,"That Qingwen is actually the Second Lin girl?" Who's with Yu 'Er?"

Zi Juan trembled and couldn't spit out the word " Miss ". She choked on her saliva and started coughing.

Grandmother Jia was upset when she saw that the girl on the bed only knew how to cry. Now that she heard her coughing, she became even more angry. She pointed at Zijuan and scolded,"You b * stard, I'm afraid you'll be sick if I do this. What are you thinking?”

When Zi Juan heard this, she shook her head violently, wanting to defend herself. However, her body was already being pulled by a few servant girls in great pain. She rolled down from the bed and fell to the ground.

Zi Juan's clothes were not neatly dressed and her body was very thin. Half of her body fell on the cold brick, which was even colder than falling in the ice hole. Her body was pulled up by two rough old women and dragged out. She was so panicked that she kept shouting "Old Lady" and "Old Lady".

The old woman's face was still wet. She curled her lips and said,"What are you shouting for? You're making it difficult for Young Lady to cultivate! Miss Zijuan, you've always been Miss Lin's servant, and you're also a big girl. Don't you have such good eyesight??”

As soon as Zijuan was pulled out, a few groups of people slowly arrived. The first to arrive was still Xifeng and Ping 'er.

When Xifeng came in, she was supporting Ping 'er. Seeing this formation, she first took a deep breath and fixed her floating legs below her waist. She had her own feelings of sadness, but she couldn't stop crying. In the blink of an eye, tears flowed down her face. Her face, which had been cold from the wind, was now warm from the tears.

"Inexperienced hoofs, what's the use of kneeling and crying? The few of you, go light the stove. In a while, the imperial doctor will come to boil the medicine. You guys, go boil some hot water. The girl is burning like this. You don't even know how to apply a hot handkerchief. What's the use of raising you for nothing! Really…" Xifeng quickly assigned tasks to them, and the room wasn't as crowded anymore. When Lady Wang and Lady Wang arrived, there was still room to sit or stand.

The imperial physician came quickly, but Grandmother Jia knew him well. After seeing each other, he checked Daiyu's pulse through the curtain.

Grandmother Jia stood at the head of the bed, her eyes fixed on Silvester. Silvester frowned, and she choked on her breath. Silvester shook his head. She almost could not stand up.

Just as Silvester shook his head, frowned, and sighed, Baoyu's voice suddenly came from outside. He heard Baoyu's running footsteps and shouted again,"Sister Lin, Sister Lin?"

"Who's the one who can't control his tongue and told him?" Grandmother Jia asked. Quickly think of a way to coax them back. These two Yu 'Er had always been close and treated each other like biological siblings. If he saw them, wouldn't he be sad for nothing?”

Yuanyang quickly went out, but she was too late. Before she reached the door, Baoyu bumped into her. Baoyu didn't bother to apologize to Yuanyang and barged in. Seeing that everyone was there, his face was miserable, except for his lively and crying Sister Lin. His heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and many of its petals were broken.

"Sister Lin!" Baoyu stretched out his hand towards the embroidered bed and cried out in panic. There was not a drop of tears, but it made people see his sadness.

Grandmother Jia had been paying attention to Baoyu for a long time. When she saw Baoyu's appearance, her lips trembled as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. She supported a little girl and walked over shakily. She called out,"Baoyu" and wanted to hold his hand. However, Baoyu seemed to have lost his mind. He only looked at the green curtain. He didn't even look at his grandmother, who he had loved and respected the most in the past.

Grandmother Jia was in so much pain that she stomped her feet." Evil creatures, you two." She hugged Baoyu in her arms." My Yu 'er, you want my old life!"”

Baoyu didn't know if he heard her or not, but tears rolled down his face. He suddenly reached out to the side of the curtain and smiled."Sister Lin, are you alright? Where are you going? Talk to me, don't leave! Take me with you!" As he said that, he broke free from Grandmother Jia and was about to pounce on the bedpost. Grandmother Jia was so frightened that she screamed,"Stop him, stop him!"”

Baoyu crashed into the arms of two old women and sat limply on the ground. He kept calling out "Sister Lin". Madam Wang rushed over and hugged him, crying,"What do you want to do, you bastard? What do you want to do? How many karmic debts did I owe in my previous life to give birth to you, this deadly scourge in this life? Pearl, my Pearl…”

Seeing that Baoyu could no longer move, Grandmother Jia calmed down and carefully wiped the marks on her face."Don't cry! Yu 'Er is lucky. Don't cry.”

The crying weakened for a moment. Grandmother Jia asked Silvester about his pulse and instructed the servant girl to prepare the decoction.

Silvester was also uncomfortable in this farce. Fortunately, he was a saint. Although he was in such a daze, he had a decision in his heart. She then said to Grandmother Jia," Matriarch, don't worry. Young Lady is just tired and has caught a cold. It's just that Young Lady has some congenital weakness. In addition, she has an extremely cold and slippery taste, so the symptoms are more severe." As long as the young miss could eat one or two doses and sleep for a few hours, she would be fine after breaking out in cold sweat.”

Grandmother Jia was overjoyed and quickly ordered the imperial physician to bring medicine to boil. She walked up to Baoyu and said,"Did you hear that? Sister Lin is fine. You can have fun tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”

Baoyu was still in a daze and his eyes were not clear. He asked,"Really? Is Sister Lin alright?"

"That's right," Grandmother Jia said."When has Grandmother ever coaxed you?"”He also guaranteed that Silvester's medical skills were the best. There was no mistake about it.

Baoyu said some nonsense again and gradually came back to his senses. Grandmother Jia helped Baoyu up and said happily,"Alright, my two Yu 'Er are fine.”

Xiren hurriedly put a coat on Baoyu. Grandmother Jia saw it and ordered Xiren, Sheyue and the others to bring Baoyu back. She said that he had come from the fog and must drink a bowl of hot soup before he went to bed.

After coaxing Baoyu to go back, Grandmother Jia called for Lady Wang and Lady Wang to go back as well. She also instructed Lady Wang to keep an eye on Baoyu and be careful that he had caught a cold on this trip. Lady Wang agreed before leaving.
