Wei Ziyao understood. She had never deliberately disguised herself as her original self after transmigrating, so it was normal for the people around her to be suspicious.
"Silly girl, your mistress has finally been enlightened. Go back to work." She was too lazy to explain further.
Just as she sent Tsui Hee away, Hong Hao rushed in. Seeing his anxious expression, Wei Ziyao closed her eyes.
"Don't say anything. I don't want to hear it. If there's any trouble, don't look for me …"
"Oh, no! It's your family! Someone from the Marshal's Mansion sent a message saying that your family's Old Madame is seriously ill and can't get out of bed! "
"What?" Hearing about the Old Madame, Wei Ziyao finally became nervous.
At this time, Wei Ziyao had to put aside her identity as a doctor, because the Old Madame was definitely a woman worthy of admiration.
She hurriedly got up. "Wait for me to change my clothes. I'll be right out."
As Wei Ziyao changed her clothes, she called for Tsui Hee to pack up and prepare to go back to her family's home.
When the two of them arrived at the gate, they saw that the messenger was actually a five- or six-year-old boy.
The boy was extremely dirty, with mud and vegetables all over his body.
"Sister Tsui Hee!" When the little boy saw Tsui Hee, he happily pounced on her.
"Pi Dou?" Tsui Hee was also very happy to see him. "Pi Dou, how did you become so thin?"
Pi Dou wasn't considered fat, but he was considered strong. Now, he looked as thin as a stick.
Unexpectedly, when Tsui Hee asked, Pi Dou actually started crying.
"Sister Tsui Hee, they didn't give us food and locked us in the courtyard. The Old Madame … the Old Madame is dying. We're all going to starve to death!"
"What!?" When Tsui Hee heard this, she raised her head and looked at Wei Ziyao.
Wei Ziyao didn't say much. "Where's the carriage?"
"It's already prepared. Wang Fei, please." Hong Hao also heard the severity of the problem and hurriedly went to prepare the stirrups for Wei Ziyao.
But when he let Pi Dou into the carriage, he timidly looked at Wei Ziyao.
"Aiya, it's fine. She's our family's young miss. What are you afraid of?"
"That's right, Eldest Miss. I'm scared." He still didn't dare.
"Oh, don't worry. Let's go." Tsui Hee had no choice but to drag him into the car.
There was a low table in the car with snacks and fruits on it.
Pi Dou had been staring at them ever since they came up.
"Go ahead." Wei Ziyao nodded and allowed him to eat. He even looked at Tsui Hee, and only dared to eat when Tsui Hee nodded.
It could be seen how much of a psychological shadow the original body had left on him.
But he was still a child. Once he ate, he slowly let down his guard and told them about the situation at home. "The Old Madame has been sick for two years.
She was in pain all over. At first, it was just that she couldn't move. She saw the doctor and prescribed medicine, but she didn't get better. Later, she just lay on the bed and couldn't move. Then … then they locked our courtyard and only sent us food every few days. The Old Madame and Grandmother were starving. If I didn't come out of the dog hole to find Eldest Miss, I'm afraid … I'm afraid we wouldn't have lasted more than a few days. "
Pi Dou was still a child. He cried and spoke at the same time, looking very wronged.
When they first saw the child, they could tell that his thinness was caused by long-term starvation. But they didn't expect there to be such a vicious person.
"Grandmother is the mistress of the Marshal's residence. Who dares to lock her up?" Wei Ziyao asked.
