Hu Momo said angrily: "Old Madam, after the Third Miss left yesterday, you had lunch and then felt drowsy. After dinner, you fell into a deep sleep and then became unconscious. I was very scared and consulted several doctors, but they all said that you had caught a cold."

Hu Momo's eyes became red again as she spoke: "I always feel that something is wrong. You haven't gotten better after having a cold for so long. You took medicine after medicine. Yesterday, Miss San gave you acupuncture and you got better. Who knew that after she left, your condition got worse? The more I think about it, the more I feel that there must be something wrong. So I boiled all the medicines prescribed by the doctors, but I dare not give you any."

Hu Momo looked at Yang Susu blowing the ginseng soup and continued, "This old servant really has no other choice but to ask for help from the Third Miss. The Third Miss is the only one in the mansion who knows medicine. How could she know that you were poisoned?"

She sighed: "I saw Miss San bleed from your wrist, the blood was all black."

As she was talking, Hu Momo knelt down and said, "Madam, it's all my fault that I didn't guard Ci'an Garden well. Someone took advantage of the opportunity and you were poisoned. Please punish me, Madam."

After these words, Hu Momo lowered her head sadly and wiped her tears silently.

The old lady's face was filled with deep shock.

She raised her wrist, which was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze. She felt weak all over and her wrist was in pain.

The old lady's face darkened: "I never thought, I never thought, this general's mansion can't accommodate an old woman like me now? I think Zhou is really tired of living."

Hu Momo said bitterly: "Yes, Madam is too foolish, how could she do such a heartless thing."

The old lady said to Hu Momo: "You are already old, don't kneel down at every turn. Zhou wants to harm me, how can you stop her?"

Hu Momo kowtowed gratefully: "Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam."

Yang Susu sat beside the couch holding the ginseng soup. She scooped a mouthful of ginseng soup with a pale white spoon and placed it in front of the old lady: "Grandma has just cleared the poison and her vitality has been greatly damaged. You can't get angry again. Su'er will feed you."

The old lady looked at Yang Susu deeply with her inquiring eyes. She knew that Yang Susu had changed a lot after coming back from the dead, but she didn't expect that she would be willing to save herself.

"Why did you save me?"

Yang Susu's eyes were slightly cold, but she said: "Grandma, what are you talking about? You are my grandmother, so of course I have to save you."

The old lady sneered: "Yang Susu, you know that I hate you and your daughter so much. I am ruthless and ungrateful to you and your daughter. I watched Zhou oppress you and harm you. Will you be willing to save me?"

She said with some self-mockery: "You just don't want to see Zhou alone in the general's mansion, so an old woman like me is still useful, right?"

She continued with a somewhat desolate look: "I used to be a straightforward person, but after living in this backyard for a long time, I became more reserved in my words and gradually lost myself."

Yang Susu still held the pale white spoon, and the ginseng soup in the spoon was slightly cool.

It was rare that the old lady actually tore off her masks and talked to her openly.

She raised her eyes to the old lady's eyes that were not very energetic, a little cloudy, and slightly tired, and said: "Grandma is right."
