Although Zuo Xiangning didn't say anything, she felt as if there was a stone pressing on her heart.
It wasn't until seven or eight days later, when Zuo Yian caught a cold and was confined to bed, that Zuo Xiangning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Madame Jiang excused all the children from their daily greetings and kept Zuo Yian in Fanghua Courtyard, taking care of him attentively.
Old Madam Zuo visited Fanghua Courtyard, intending to take Zuo Yian to Shian Hall, but was refused by Madame Jiang.
"When the master is sick and his legitimate wife is still healthy, and his children are also by his side, how could we let Old Madam attend to him?" Madame Jiang said with a smile, "If outsiders knew about this, what would they think? As a wife, I certainly cannot behave so."
