Chapter 242: Chapter 241: Mrs. Chu

The next morning, after Chen Afu had just finished the breakfast he had prepared, he heard Qingfeng, who had just returned from a stroll outside, whispering that the old lady was not doing well. A doctor had been hastily summoned the previous night and managed to wake the old lady, but her eyes and mouth were now crooked, her body was immobilized, her speech was garbled, and she kept claiming to have seen ghosts. The doctor said that the old lady had suffered from a scare and had a stroke.

Qingfeng added, "I heard that the young master, the third and fourth young ladies have gone to the Hengshou Pavilion to attend to the old lady's illness…" The implication was that it would be best if Chen Afu could also go there.

Chen Afu was secretly amused and admired Jin Yan's prowess. However, he said, "The old lady certainly would not want to see me. I'll respect her wishes and won't impose myself."
