Lu Liangwei bowed back to her and said, "To tell you the truth, Abbess, I came here today to see Madam Zheng."
Hearing this, the abbess hesitated. "But Patron Zheng…"
Noting her reaction, Lu Liangwei asked, "Would this be inconvenient for you?"
The abbess sighed and shook her head. "That's not the case. The thing is, Patron Zheng has been ill for some time. I invited a physician to treat her, but her condition still hasn't improved, and even worse, she's been in a coma for the past few days. I'm afraid her time is running out."
Lu Liangwei was astonished to hear this. Madam Zheng was dying?
"Please take me to her, Abbess."
After another moment of hesitation, the abbess said tentatively, "You're a lady of noble birth, Patron Lu. I'm afraid that Patron Zheng's current state would be unpleasant for you…"
"Don't worry, Abbess. I'll just take a look to ease my worries," Lu Liangwei insisted.
