With such a good thing, if left for her son as a betrothal gift in the future, she might even be able to take back a daughter of the prince’s family!
“The empress dowager has said that the bracelet is at the disposal of the Old Madam. As long as the Old Madam is happy, it doesn’t matter even if she breaks it.” As Madam Qiao spoke, she glanced coldly at Madam Kou.

Madam Kou shrunk her neck and lowered her head to hide the emotions that flashed through her eyes.
...“Eldest sister is truly blessed. Even though she has been away from home for so many years, the person that grandmother misses the most will always be the eldest sister,” Gu Chengbin said with a gentle smile.
Gu Qingxue thanked her and accepted it.
When she visited her grandmother’s room last time, the treasures that her grandmother had accumulated in the past were all gone. Even the dowry that she had brought from the Qi family was gone.
She had asked Nanny Sheng and found that these things had been ‘borrowed’ by Madam Kou for various reasons.
She had never liked these gold and silver jewelry, but rather than giving them to Madam Kou, it was better for her to wear them herself.
When the other guests around the gazebo saw this scene, they were envious of the Gu family and even more envious of Gu Qingxue.
Having completed her task, Madam Qiao stood up and was about to take her leave. “Since the congratulatory gifts has been given, I’ll take my leave first.”
Madam Kou stood up as well. “Then I’ll send Madam Qiao off.”
Madam Qiao’s body was not in good health. Being able to attend this time was already giving face to the Gu family. Now that she wanted to leave, no one in the Gu family dared to stop her.
Madam Qiao nodded and walked towards the stairs first.
Unexpectedly, Madam Qiao suddenly felt dizzy. She stepped on empty air and fell down the stairs, crashing heavily into the protruding stone at the edge of the flower bed.
The change was too sudden. The maid who had been following Madam Qiao all this time screamed and rushed forward, “Madam! Madam, please wake up!”
Seeing Madam Qiao lying on the ground motionlessly, the maid was so scared that her face turned pale. She carefully helped her up from the ground.
“Blood, so much blood!” The onlookers saw the traces of blood on the stone at a glance, and there were even waves of exclamations from the crowd.
“My wife has fainted! Imperial Physician Gu, please take a look at my wife!” Seeing so much blood, the maid was scared silly and hurriedly asked Gu Chengbin for help.

However, Gu Chengbin seemed to have a premonition, and he quietly hid behind the pillar before the maid could see him.

The pillar covered his figure, and the maid could not find him at first glance. She could only helplessly hold Madam Qiao and watch the wound on her forehead bleed.
Madam Qiao was in pain. She closed her eyes as she was unconscious.
The people around her panicked. Madam Kou took a step forward subconsciously.
“Mom, don’t go.” Fortunately, Gu Chengbin stopped Madam Kou in time, he whispered into her ear carefully, “Mom, I’m afraid the imperial duke’s wife has fallen on her head. Look at her pale face. I’m afraid she can’t be saved. In order to get not get punished, it’s better not to touch her!”

“But what if the imperial duke blames us?” Madam Kou asked anxiously.
“What does it have to do with us if the imperial duke’s wife falls on her own? But once we touch the imperial duke’s wife and can’t cure her, we’ll be in big trouble!” Gu Chengbin explained with a serious expression, “Mother, with my years of experience, since the imperial duke’s wife has fallen on her head, the wound at that position can not be stopped easily!”
Madam Kou glanced at Madam Qiao.
As expected, the blood on Madam Qiao’s head gushed out as if it was free. Soon, it dyed the ground red. It would not take long for her to bleed to death!
