Chapter 108: The Eldest Lady Goes Mad
The lady's order suddenly silenced the scene. The crowd looked at the blurry face of the lady in the dark with fear and retreated continuously.
Mrs. Zhao held an umbrella in one hand and supported the swaying Mrs. Wang with the other, fearing that if she wasn't careful, Mrs. Wang would fall to the ground.
Behind the two of them, the wind lantern held by Xiaotou was quickly drenched by the rain and extinguished, restoring the courtyard to its original pitch-black darkness.
"Oh no! Help...!" Mrs. Wang's voice came again, desperate and terrified.
"Go in and save them! Go in and save them quickly! Can't you hear?!" The madam frantically pushed the maid beside her.
The little girls retreated in fear, and no one dared to go in and rescue anyone. What a joke! The lightning flashed one after another, for some reason, it was always striking Wang's mother's house, if they went over now, they would definitely be struck into charcoal.
The madam furiously shouted: "You bunch of slaves, Wang's mother has a secret, I won't let you off!"
"A little servant girl named Nono spoke up: 'Madam, at any moment lightning could strike us down, we...'"
It was as if to prove her words, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, falling straight onto the roof in front, followed by several dazzling sparks that pierced through the clouds, and then again the thunderous roar...
"Ah!!!!!" Accompanied by thunder, a shrill scream came from inside the house, and then there was silence.
The old lady's face turned pale, tightly grasping Zhao Mama's hand beside her, with bulging veins and a heart-wrenching cry: "Wang Mama, Wang Mama, how are you? How are you?"
Wang's mother and Zhao's mother were the personal maids of the madam, growing up with her from a young age, and following her to the Yun family after marriage. They were her right-hand women, her confidantes, and existed as both friends and servants. Over the years, the two had helped the madam with many private matters that couldn't be seen by others.
Now that something has happened to Wang's mother, it would be hard for the lady of the house not to go mad.
Unfortunately, after the thunder passed, the house was quiet again, and no matter how she shouted, there was no response.
Yun Jingchu stood ten or so steps away from the crowd, watching everything with a cold gaze.
At this time, the sky was gloomy, with wind and rain like a dark night. The lanterns in the courtyard were extinguished by the rain, and the courtyard was pitch black, everyone's faces were blurred, only occasionally when lightning flashed, could see the face of the person next to them. In addition, the courtyard was messy...
So, Yun Jeong-hui and Yun Jeong-hee have been here for so long, but no one has discovered them.
Yuwen Shuyan, you're in pain, aren't you? Yun Jingchu sneered coldly in his heart. I'll let you taste the feeling of one by one of the people you care about dying, you must hold on!
Again, several flashes of lightning flashed by, followed by a few loud thunderclaps that struck the collapsing house in front of us. The house, which had already collapsed halfway, suddenly lost its entire roof with a loud crash, and the sound of wooden beams hitting the ground came one after another, causing everyone to cry out in surprise once again.
A commotion was heard outside the gate, and Yun Shangren, wearing a raincoat, had someone holding an oil-paper umbrella for him as he hurried over with a group of servants.
"What's going on?" Yun Shangren looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and frowned.
"Master, you must let someone save Wang's mother, Master, Wang's mother is an elderly person by my side, she can't have an accident......" Madam heard Yun Shangren's voice, as if waking up from a dream, turned around and rushed towards Yun Shangren, not caring about the heavy rain pouring down on her head.
"Be careful not to catch a chill, madam..." Zhao's mother hastily followed behind her, holding the oil-paper umbrella over her head.
Yun Shangren frowned and took a glance at the collapsed house in front of him, then turned to the several servants behind him and said: "You guys, go take a look if Wang's mother is okay?"
