Chapter 269 -105: Tingzheng has a Fever_2

Hua Lei pulled a pouch from her sleeve and handed it to the maid.

The little maid, delighted with the red packet, ran off and only opened the pouch when she reached a hidden area where no one could see her. She saw the five taels of silver inside, grinned broadly, and hurriedly stuffed the pouch back into her sleeve to return. She was risking a lot by delivering the message and could not allow herself to be discovered.

Yueyao, accompanied by a group of old nannies and maids, rushed out urgently. However, when they reached the second gate, the gatekeeper old nanny refused to let them pass.

The old nanny argued with reason, “Young Lady, it’s late at night, and the outer courtyard still houses many guests. If anything goes wrong during your outing, we cannot bear the responsibility.” The outer courtyard was accommodating many external men, including Lian Dongfang and his two aides, as well as people from the Mo Family.

This old nanny’s arrogant attitude disregarded Yueyao’s reasons for leaving and staunchly prevented her exit, all because the power dynamics in the inner courtyard had shifted. The Lady family had already decreed that the doors be locked at the set time, and anyone who failed to follow the rules would be severely punished. Now, without the Old Madam, the Inner Courtyard was ruled by Madam, and the nannies naturally dared not neglect her orders.

Yueyao’s entire body radiated with a cold fury, enough to freeze someone to death, as she angrily demanded, “Will you open it or not?”

The old nanny didn’t fear Yueyao, a mere young maid without the support of the Old Madam. The Third Young Lady was nothing more than a toothless baby; she said, “Please do not make things difficult for us, Third Young Lady. Madam has ordered that the doors be locked after the second quarter of the Hai hour. If we disobey, we servants will be severely punished. Please do not put this old servant in a difficult position.” Normally, seeing Yueyao accompanied by nannies and maids, she would have been let through, recognizing the urgency; even initially reluctant, they would relent upon hearing Yueyao’s reasons. After all, Yueyao was not heading to the front courtyard alone, and with so many accompanying servants, nothing untoward was likely to happen, but the old nanny simply refused to open the gate.

Each moment’s delay increased the danger to Tingzheng. Yueyao didn’t waste time with pleasantries; if soft tactics failed, she would have to resort to force, commanding, “Take the keys from her and open the door.”

When Yueyao came out, she brought everyone she could, including Nanny Hao, Hua Lei, Qiao Lan, Xi Juan, Xi Yu, Dong Yun, and Dong Xiang. Yueyao summoned all the maids who were awake; in the pitch dark, having many people around gave courage. Yueyao usually slept very late; the maids serving her naturally couldn’t go to bed earlier, so when Yueyao called, everyone came out.

The gatekeeping old nanny did not expect Yueyao to be so forceful and was taken aback. This kind of incident could have been imagined with the Second Young Lady, but happening with the Third Young Lady was truly unbelievable. After all, the Third Young Lady was known throughout the residence for her composure and grace.

Another old nanny, seeing Yueyao full of murderous intent, dared not approach. To avoid getting involved, she wisely stood by silently, watching as Hua Lei and Qiao Lan pinned down the old nanny, roughed her up a bit, and then searched her body to find the keys and unlock the gate.

The searched old nanny wailed like a ghost and howled like a wolf, while the other, uninvolved old nanny calmly stepped forward to lock the gate again, and said, “Let’s go and report this matter to the Madam.”

The courtyard where Tingzheng was staying was named Changqing Courtyard.

Upon her arrival at Changqing Courtyard, Yueyao saw that the lights were bright inside. She hurriedly walked into the courtyard and rushed into the bedroom.

At that moment, Nanny Deng was removing a folded towel from Tingzheng’s forehead and was about to replace it with a new one. Tingzheng had already passed out from a high fever, and Nanny Deng, not knowing any better, resorted to the traditional method of cooling him down with a cold towel on his forehead.

Upon seeing Yueyao arrive, Nanny Deng quickly stood up and said, “Young Lady, you’re here.”

Yueyao, observing Tingzheng’s flushed face, coldly asked, “When did Tingzheng start having a fever?” It certainly wasn’t in the afternoon, as Nanny Deng would have noticed by then. She had repeatedly entrusted Nanny Deng to take good care of Tingzheng, and Nanny Deng would not have been negligent.

Nanny Deng had indeed been very attentive in caring for Tingzheng. He had been fine in the afternoon; in the evening, Tingzheng even practiced his calligraphy, going to bed only after his session ended, though today he went to sleep half an hour earlier than usual. Nanny Deng thought Tingzheng was just tired and attended him as he went to bed.

Before going to sleep herself, Nanny Deng had felt Tingzheng’s forehead and didn’t notice any fever; it was only when she was getting ready for bed and habitually checked whether Tingzheng had kicked off the blanket that she realized his breathing was uneven. She quickly felt his forehead again and found that Tingzheng had indeed developed a fever.

Nanny Deng sent Dong Xue to deliver a message to Yueyao while sending Dong Qing to fetch the doctor. What Nanny Deng hadn’t anticipated was that Dong Xue would be unable to deliver the message, and Dong Qing couldn’t leave either. Since she couldn’t muster help from outside, she could only hope for the young lady to come and devise a solution.
