After Fu Chen's birthday, the temperature in the capital plummeted, and the cold seeped in. Old Madam Fu's health wasn't good, and she had a serious cold. She didn't recover from taking medicine and even stayed in the hospital for a few days.
An illness to her was like a life-and-death battle. She was in her eighties, and even the slightest cold could take away half her life. Dai Yunqing had already returned to Jiangcheng at the time. Fu Wan had yet to return to Jinling, so she and Sun Qionghua took turns going to the hospital to take care of her.
Actually, after Fu Yuxiu went overseas to study, Fu Zhongli and his wife had discussed moving out of the old residence. Considering that the two elders of the Fu family were old and had some minor health problems and that it was convenient to take care of them nearby, they had been living together.
