Chapter 1195: Chapter 1195: Dying with Eyes Open

In the darkness, a figure stumbled along the winding path, running while shouting loudly.

The General’s Mansion, which was already pitch black, suddenly began to light up gradually.

The person shouting in the middle of the night turned out to be Granny Li, who was serving Auntie Tang.

Just now, as usual, she had gotten up in the middle of the night to check on Auntie Tang, to help her cover with a blanket or something. But who would have thought, upon entering the room, Auntie Tang had already fallen to the ground, her eyes wide open, appearing as though she had died with grievances.

At this, Granny Li was so frightened her soul flew away, immediately checking to see she still had body warmth, hurriedly lifting her back to bed and, with trembling hands, picked up the blanket from the floor to cover Auntie Tang properly.

Then she stumbled out to seek help, but in her panic, she forgot who she should call for help, thus she ran shouting and yelling through the mansion, waking everyone up.

The quiet General’s Mansion was soon filled with the bustling sounds of people, as everyone lit lamps and got out of bed, gathering from all directions.

Situ Yongjie, with his long hair disheveled, haphazardly draped a coat on his shoulders, and approached with the guards, drawn by the noise.

Situ Yongjie was quite clear in his heart; given the timing of the poisoning, Auntie Tang’s life was bound to end.

Finally, at the garden path, Situ Yongjie intercepted Granny Li, who had heard the commotion.

"Granny Li, what is the meaning of this clamor in the dead of night?" The panic-stricken Granny Li, upon seeing the General, immediately broke down, like a drowning person grasping at a piece of wood, she rushed forward and grabbed his pant leg, begging bitterly: "General, General, please, hurry and save Auntie, she is near death, what are we to do?"

Fully aware of the situation, Situ Yongjie feigned ignorance: "What exactly is going on, speak clearly!"

"Auntie, she doesn’t know what happened, she is near death, General, I beg you, save her quickly."

"Alright, alright! It’s the dead of night, stop wailing like a ghost, how terrifying! Get up quickly."

"If the General doesn’t save Auntie, I won’t get up," Granny Li said stubbornly, kneeling on the ground.

Upon hearing the news, Situ Qinger and her siblings were alarmed to learn their mother was in trouble, and they knelt on the ground along with Granny Li, pleading with Situ Yongjie: "Father, please, for the sake of us siblings, save Auntie, even if she committed a grave sin, it doesn’t warrant death."

Situ Yongjie frowned: "I never said I wouldn’t save her, all of you get up."

Situ Qinger, hearing this, was overjoyed, knowing that their father must have some feelings for their mother, she quickly wiped her tears and stood up: "Father, please hurry, or you might be too late."

Considering how pitifully Granny Li had cried out, knowing that something quite serious had happened to her mother, Situ Qinger, not being a fool, quickly urged Situ Yongjie to go save her mother.

Knowing full well that Auntie Tang was deeply poisoned, beyond saving, Situ Yongjie still instructed the servants to call the doctor to examine Auntie Tang, to keep up appearances.

"Yes."

The guard behind quickly responded, and jogged away.

Situ Yongjie said to Xuexue, who had just arrived: "Let’s go see Auntie Tang together."

Situ Xuexue exchanged a look with him, nodding subtly: "Alright, Auntie has been ill for so long, I haven’t gone to see her properly!"

Situ Qinger gave Xuexue a fierce glance, blurting out: "I don’t need your false concern."
