Transmigrated Genius: Fragile Heiress Reigns Supreme-Chapter 564 - 566: Wrapping Up (Part 2)

Tong Xiqiu, what is she really thinking, what does she want to do?

"Fourth sister-in-law!" Many people were in the main hall. She wasn’t afraid of what Xiqiu might do, so she stood alone at the doorway of the adjacent room, while Xiqiu stood at the entrance of the Warm Pavilion. She said, "I don’t know if Chief Chang has left, could I trouble fourth sister-in-law to send someone to check."

Without thinking, Xiqiu nodded and replied, "Alright." She called Bihuai and instructed, "Go to the front yard and see if Chief Chang has left!"

Bihuai complied.

The Second Madam furrowed her brows. Chunliu hadn’t gone to the front yard, so what did she go there to do? She thought for a moment, nodded at Xiqiu, and went into the Grand Dowager’s room. After chatting with the Grand Dowager for a while, she eagerly went out and called Nanny Li, "Go see where Chunliu has gone."

Nanny Li was taken aback and asked, "Madam means..."

The Second Madam quietly related Xiqiu’s recent behavior to Nanny Li. Nanny Li found it eerily strange, especially since the Fourth Madam, who had always been fond of Young Master Xin, was smiling despite his life being at risk. She subconsciously rubbed her arm and replied with concern, "I’ll go and have a look right away."

With that, she cautiously left the room.

Xiao Yanyi returned, followed by two servants. One held a tray with the Princely Heir’s red purple crane cloud-patterned robe, and the other held the exquisite Purple Jade Bead Crown!

The Grand Dowager cried even more intensely and struggled to stand opposite. Looking at Young Master Xin, he seemed even weaker than before. She hugged him and cried continuously.

The Second Madam looked at the trays and thought for a moment. Then she said, "Mother, should we change Young Master Xin into the robe? Wearing it even once would be an honor, even if it’s before passing!"

The Grand Dowager hesitated, and Xiqiu, with red eyes, replied, "Young Master Xin hasn’t woken yet; there’s no rush to change him until he wakes up!"

Upon hearing this, the others thought nothing of it, assuming Xiqiu couldn’t accept the reality. However, the Second Madam was startled, seeing Xiqiu seem increasingly strange after recalling her earlier smile.

The Grand Dowager nodded, and Ruan Jingliu also said, "Let’s not disturb him for now!"

The Second Madam withdrew a bit, noticing Nanny Li’s face briefly appear and disappear outside the door.

"Mother, I’ll step out for a moment." The Second Madam excused herself from the Grand Dowager and left the room. Nanny Li whispered in her ear, "Maid Chunliu went to Zitan’s room, stayed for a quarter of an hour, and then left. I went in afterward and found nothing unusual..." She paused and asked, "Madam...what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Madam’s face gradually darkened.

Zitan, Chunliu, Tong Xiqiu, and that stone...

"Have a little maid watch Zitan. She shouldn’t be wandering these days. We’ll deal with her after this blows over." The Second Madam softly instructed.

Nanny Li understood and retreated without saying more.

Because of the issue with Zitan, the joy over Young Master Xin’s impending death was much diminished. The Second Madam’s face was full of displeasure, and the outcome with Xiqiu was far from what she had expected...

No, she must think of another plan to make Xiqiu utterly disappear from the Marquis Mansion, to ruin her reputation with infamy!

She clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her eyes narrowing slightly. Right at that moment...

"Young Master Xin!" The Grand Dowager’s loud cry startled her, had he truly died?

She quickly lifted the curtain and entered, tears already welling up in her eyes. At the perfect moment, they fell as she stepped inside, "Young Master Xin, Young Master Xin!" The Second Madam approached the bedside, tears pattering onto the bed.

The Grand Dowager held Young Master Xin, calling his name repeatedly, "Young Master Xin, Young Master Xin. Wake up quickly, it’s Grandmother!"

The Second Madam cried, "Young Master Xin, don’t scare us. You can’t die!"

The room fell silent.

The Grand Dowager’s face subtly changed as she looked toward her. Xiao Yanyi showed obvious displeasure towards the Second Madam, and the First Madam arched her brow faintly.

Only then did the Second Madam realize the Grand Dowager, although tense, wasn’t crying.

She involuntarily looked at Young Master Xin, noticing his once pallid face gradually regaining a flush of color.

"Second sister-in-law, Young Master Xin just moved!" Xiqiu looked at the Second Madam and said.

The Second Madam painstakingly wiped her tears, forcing a smile of surprise, and stiffly asked, "Awake?"

A last flicker of life?

Xiqiu smiled and nodded, replying, "Sister Jingliu said he’s going to wake up. Although still weak, he’s passed the critical stage and will be fine with careful care."

The Second Madam was stunned, the last sliver of hope shattered.

Young Master Xin woke up?

Tong Xiqiu still happily stayed at the Marquis Mansion as her Fourth Madam, rendering all the schemes she painstakingly plotted, utterly futile.

"Grandmother!" At that moment, Young Master Xin opened his eyes. Though his voice was faint, it sounded thunderous in the Second Madam’s ears, resounding clearly.

The Second Madam’s face slowly went rigid, expressionlessly looking at Young Master Xin as if seeing him for the first time, with unfamiliar disbelief in her eyes.

The Grand Dowager was overjoyed, hugging and kissing Young Master Xin repeatedly, "My child, my child...you’ve finally awakened, you scared Grandmother to death!"

"I’m sorry, Grandmother!" Young Master Xin tried to lift his hand to wipe the Grand Dowager’s tears, but he lacked the strength after several attempts. The Grand Dowager quickly wiped her tears herself, placing Young Master Xin back on the bed, "Young Master Xin just woke up; his body is still weak, rest quickly!"

Recumbent on the bed, Young Master Xin nodded, his long eyes moving among the people in the room, finally settling on Xiao Yanyi. With a low voice, he called, "Father!" and then lowered his eyes as if he had done something wrong.

"Hmm." Xiao Yanyi’s voice was calm, yet laced with unmistakable joy. Xiqiu could even hear him sigh with relief, "Rest well!"

Not receiving the anticipated rebuke, Young Master Xin was delighted, pushing back the tears in his eyes. Grinning, he revealed tiny rice-sized teeth, "I will, Father."

So adorably endearing.

Young Master Xin turned to the Second Madam and called, "Mother!" then looked at the First Madam and Xiqiu, "Aunt, Fourth Aunt."

Xiqiu and the First Madam each nodded, while the Second Madam gently patted Young Master Xin’s head, smiling and saying, "It’s good you’re awake, it’s good you’re awake!"

The stifling atmosphere of recent days completely lifted as Young Master Xin woke, leaving the servants in the mansion breathing a sigh of relief. Xiao Yanzheng entered with Sheng and Min, who was carried by an attendant, rushing inside.

The two children, along with Xiao Yanzheng, gathered around Young Master Xin’s bed, chatting lively.
