CHAPTER 1328: CHAPTER 678: LIAN MANMAN’S SKILLFUL HEALING

The first watch, pink doubles, asking for a guarantee down the ticket.

********

Lian Manman heard Lian Yeye say that Lady Zhou had gone mad, so she asked in detail about what Lian Yeye heard and saw at the old house, and immediately decided to call a doctor for Lady Zhou.

"My grandma is quite sick this time, my father and my brother are not at home, mother, it is not convenient for you to go over, so I better go and have a look." Lian Manman said to Lady Zhang.

"You go ahead." Lady Zhang nodded, then frowned, seemingly a bit incredulous. "Is the old lady really mad?"

Honest as Lady Zhang was, she also found it hard to believe that Lady Zhou had truly gone mad. Naturally, Lian Manman was even more skeptical. Listening to Lian Yeye’s account, Lian Manman understood that Lady Zhou had been severely hit after being beaten and scolded by Old Master Lian. However, who was Lady Zhou? Was she so easy to be defeated?

If Lady Zhou were truly that fragile, things would not have come to their current state.

Being badly hit might be one reason, but on the other hand, Lady Zhou must have realized that the current situation was very unfavorable to her, thinking about the circumstances that would follow. To avoid the limelight, she temporarily feigned madness.

It was truly because Lady Zhou’s past records were too formidable, no wonder Lian Manman thought this way. In the past, when Lady Zhou pretended to be ill and fainted, she was so skillful that all the sons and daughters-in-law were baffled.

However, that was all in the past. Back then, Lady Zhou pretended to be ill and fainted to control others, yet now, she had to play dumb, not to manipulate people but just to muddle through.

The world is progressing, and the future will become more promising!

Lian Manman discussed it with Lady Zhang and Lian Zhizhi, first sending Xiao Xi out, then taking maid Xiao Qing along, with an additional smart young worker from Lian’s, heading to the old house.

Lady Zhang and Lian Zhizhi stayed at home, and Lady Zhao, feeling that the message sent by Old Master Lian had already been delivered, was not willing to go to the old house again, just doing needlework with Lady Zhang. Only Lian Yeye, hearing Lian Manman’s plan, insisted on going to the old house with her.

Lian Yeye did not get along with Lady Zhou and was very eager to see Lian Manman "cure" Lady Zhou’s madness.

Lian Manman naturally wouldn’t stop Lian Yeye, having Lian Yeye with her could be of significant help.

Upon arriving at the old house, Lian Manman headed straight to the Upper Room. Old Master Lian saw Lian Manman coming and seemed not surprised at all. Lian Lanlan saw her and forced a smile on her mourning face.

"...I just heard my grandma was sick, my mother was so worried, she wanted to come over in person, but her body wouldn’t allow her. So my mother sent me." Lian Manman said to Old Master Lian.

"Good child, all of you are filial good children." Old Master Lian said while gesturing for Lian Manman to sit on the kang.

Lady Chiang had already brought a small cushion, placing it on the edge of the kang, for Lian Manman to sit on.

Lian Manman smiled, moved the small cushion closer to Lady Zhou, and sat down beside her.

"My grandma isn’t lightly sick!" Lian Manman carefully observed Lady Zhou and exclaimed.

At this moment, Lady Zhou had her eyes open, lying on her back, staring straight up at a certain spot on the ceiling, not even glancing sideways when Lian Manman walked into the room. Lady Zhou’s eyes were dead set, but her lips slowly moved, making indistinct sounds.

This appearance truly seemed like madness!

"Aged as she is, this kind of illness is nothing." Old Master Lian said.

During this era, the concept of senility dementia did not exist. For one, the average lifespan of this era was less than that of the era Lian Manman recalled. Additionally, the surrounding environment and food were all-natural and unpolluted, so senility was not widespread among the elderly.

While uncommon, it wasn’t unheard of. Generally, people wouldn’t classify it as an illness, and when someone’s brain fails as they age, isn’t that just being senile? Most people, including doctors, assumed it to be natural, a manifestation of old age.

Lian Manman couldn’t help but glance at Old Master Lian, thinking in her mind that, surprisingly, Old Master Lian hoped Lady Zhou would go mad! Yes, if Lady Zhou went mad, she wouldn’t make trouble anymore, and the family would be much more at ease. Anyway, as far as food and clothing were concerned, with their help, Lady Zhou wouldn’t be neglected.

But, it would only work if Lady Zhou was genuinely mad. If Lady Zhou was pretending, once the storm passed, she would surely recover.
