"Grandma, why are you up?" Bai Qingshui immediately rushed to Old Madam Bai's side, attempting to support her. But as soon as she stretched out her arm, the old lady recoiled as if from a venomous snake, causing Bai Qingshui considerable embarrassment. She paused, perplexed. "Grandma, I'm just trying to help you."
"I don't need it!" Old Madam Bai was so angry her chest ached. "If you support me, I fear I'll die even faster!"
Intimidated by Old Madam Bai's imposing aura, Bai Qingshui looked aggrieved. "Grandma, why would you think that? It's me, Qingshui."
A suffocating feeling caught in Old Madam Bai's chest; she could neither cough it up nor swallow it down. She waved towards Si Mingjing. "Mingjing, come over and help me. My chest feels terribly tight."
Si Mingjing rose and strode over to Old Madam Bai, helping her to the main seat before taking her pulse.
After taking her pulse, Si Mingjing gently said, "Grandma, please calm down. It's not worth harming your health over this."
