After Xie Jingxing returned from the hunting ground, Shen Miao forbade anyone to inform the Ji family because she did not want Madam Ji to worry and wanted to avoid alerting the enemy. However, what Uncle Tang meant now was that if Xie Jingxing really could not make it, Madam Ji would have to come to see him…
“No need.” Shen Miao interrupted him firmly. “Not for the time being.”
Uncle Tang was stunned, and Tie Yi was also a little surprised. Pei Lang, who had been silent all this while, said, “No matter what, you should think about yourself.”
What should she think about? Should she think about her future? Although Shen Miao knew that Pei Lang was right, after the initial grief was over and done with, the most important thing was the future. Now, she had to think about the future. For some reason, Shen Miao felt angry. Thinking of how after Wanyu got married in her previous life, Pei Lang also said to her so casually, “Her Highness is already married. Your Majesty, you should think about yourself.”
She glanced at Pei Lang coldly. Pei Lang was stunned by her gaze, his heart couldn’t help but tighten.
Luo Tan couldn’t sit still anymore. She returned to the Gao mansion to look for Gao Yang, but she was told that when Gao Yang was refining medicine, he was not to be disturbed. No one was allowed to enter.
Luo Tan was furious. “Do you want me to watch my brother-in-law slowly die just like that? My poor little cousin has lost so much weight in just a few days. She’s looking haggard. If something really happens to him, how is my little cousin supposed to live?”
She thought that although Shen Miao was usually calm and collected, she was still a girl in her teens. As soon as she was married, her husband was in a critical situation. If something really happened, how could she take the blow?
The servants of the Gao mansion looked at each other, not daring to speak. This Miss Luo had a powerful background. She was the cousin of Princess Consort Rui and was hot-tempered. Even their Young Master usually had to give in to Luo Tan, let alone servants like them.
Now that Gao Yang could not come out from refining medicine in the alchemy room, the servants were in trouble and had to be doormat for Miss Luo.
“He claims to be the best doctor and treated countless patients, but he can’t even remove a poison. What will happen if he can produce an antidote within ten days?” Luo Tan’s eyes turned red, and her voice was choked. She seemed to feel very embarrassed to cry in front of so many people. She turned around and ran into the room. She suddenly closed the door and fell on the bed, crying silently.
Luo Tan felt that she was really useless. She felt too ashamed to face Shen Miao and herself, so she locked herself in the room for a day. She did not even eat, as if doing this would make her feel better, because no matter how sad she was, her sadness was nothing compared to what Shen Miao was experiencing.
In the end, Luo Tan’s hunger strike frightened everyone in the Gao mansion. The servants had been working for Gao Yang since they were young. Gao Yang had always been gentle to women, but he had never brought anyone back. The servants were not stupid. The reason why they treated Luo Tan with so much respect was because they already regarded her as their future madam.
This future madam was unhappy and refused to eat. If Young Master Gao came out a few days later and saw Luo Tan losing weight, his heart would definitely ache. If his heart ached and he was angry, the servants would be the ones to suffer.
