Chapter 1300: Chapter 1298: Cold and Indifferent
Madam Wang dragged her weary and exhausted body back to the Wu Family, feeling so dizzy that she almost fell to the ground.
"Madam!" Nanny Wei quickly supported her, half dragging her to the chaise lounge, and then called the maid to bring water and food.
Madam Wang waved her hand, her voice hoarse as she said, "Nanny, fetch some Cooling Oil for me, my head is very dizzy."
Nanny Wei looked at her face, almost devoid of any color, and her lips surrounded by blisters, feeling a deep ache in her heart. She quickly retrieved the medicinal oil and applied it to Madam Wangâs temples and forehead.
"Madam, should we call a doctor to take a look at you? You look very unwell!" Nanny Wei said anxiously.
Madam Wang shook her head, "I just need to rest for a while."
With that, she slumped on the chaise, holding her forehead with one hand, eyes tightly closed, but tears kept flowing.
Nanny Wei felt even more sorrowful watching her and brought warm water, urging, "Madam, even if you donât want to see a doctor, you must eat something and drink some water. You havenât eaten anything all day."
"Nanny, how can I eat? The Wang Family has fallen, Yanyan and Haohao are about to be lost, how can I eat? Marquis Yonganâs Mansion is gone, sobbing." Madam Wang lay on the pillow, crying uncontrollably.
She didnât understand how this wealth just vanished, in a matter of days, her maiden family was declared fallen. Is this the legendary collapse like a mountain?
What to do in the future? The Wang Family degraded to commoners, what can be done?
"The Emperor, heâs so ruthless, Yanyan is still his woman, how could he be so heartless!" Madam Wang cried out.
Nanny Weiâs face changed dramatically, instinctively covering Madam Wangâs mouth, whispering, "Madam, youâre confused!"
Such rebellious words, how dare they be spoken. If this reached the Emperor, wouldnât the Wu Family also be implicated in disaster?
Madam Wang was merely angry and resentful in the moment; she wouldnât truly dare speak against the Emperor. Nanny Weiâs reminder quickly silenced her.
"Madam, even if you donât want to eat, you must. Now the Marquisâ Mansion... the Wang Family is in such difficulty, you might also need to help. What if you also collapse, what would be done?" Nanny Wei advised.
Madam Wang was about to speak when Wu Yining and her siblings rushed in.
"Mother, mother, is it true that Grandmotherâs house has been confiscated?" Wu Yining asked loudly, looking shocked.
Madam Wang lifted her head, seeing the siblings, said, "Why are you here? Didnât I tell you to stay in the Old Madamâs yard today?"
"Mother, we all know now. Uncleâs family was truly confiscated by the Emperor?" Wu Yilin asked.
Wu Yiyu then asked, "Mother, will our family also be confiscated? We are closely related to Uncleâs family."
Madam Wangâs whole body stiffened, scolding, "Yuyu, donât speak nonsense."
Wu Yiyu pouted and wanted to argue, but Wu Yilin held him back, saying, "Younger brother Yu, stop talking, letâs hear what Mother has to say first."
Unfortunately, Wu Yiyu was not willing, he shook off her hand, saying, "I heard about the extermination of nine generations in school. Cousin Hao committed a capital offense; we canât be implicated. Mother, donât go to Uncleâs house anymore. I donât want people to call us criminals."
"Yuyu!" Madam Wang, upon hearing this, felt as if a heavy hammer had smashed into her heart. She couldnât believe her son would be so cold-hearted, that was his maternal grandmotherâs family!
Madam Wangâs heart ached intensely, gritting her teeth as she looked at Wu Yining and the others. "And you? Do you also think this way? That now Uncleâs family has fallen, you shouldnât associate with them?"
