The maid was speaking the truth without looking evasive.
However, the Duke's brows furrowed tightly.
The maid was arranged by him to take care of the Old Duke, but now she has broken her leg to save his sister-in-law?
He recalled what the maid reported to him not long ago—
The sister-in-law was secretly feeding the Old Duke medicine, and the medicine was very effective.
The Duke waved his hand, "You may withdraw."
The maid hurriedly carried the copper basin and left.
The Old Duke Chong lay in bed, unable to move.
But his gaze at the Duke was cold enough to freeze a person.
The Duke carefully observed the Old Duke's complexion; it indeed seemed a bit better than before.
Moreover, while observing, the Duke, with sharp eyes, noticed a drop of blood on the ground.
He sat by the bedside, holding the Old Duke's hand as usual.
As a son facing his gravely ill father, this action was nothing out of the ordinary.
