The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 114 - A Desperate Struggle

"Since the madam has made up her mind, this old servant will certainly assist you."

With that, Dong Momo turned and went back to her own room. Not long after, she returned with a wooden box that was even larger than a treasure chest.

Inside were eight ledgers filled with densely packed records.

These books detailed everything that Ronghe Hall and the West Wing had deceitfully taken, stolen, or coaxed away from the main household over the years.

The combined value of the eight ledgers amounted to approximately 3.86 million taels of silver.

With that much money, they could easily buy three cities in the north.

Yet all of it had gone into the pockets of Ronghe Hall and the West Wing, never entering the public accounts of the household.

Then not only will the reputation of the Lin family, Prince Zhan's Mansion, and the Wang family be ruined, but they may even be convicted.

She had meticulously recorded everything from the beginning, hoping that one day this evidence could provide her family a way out.

Money could be earned again with the Dong family's skills, but once lives were lost, that would truly be the end.

Looking at Dong Momo, Madam Dong was more resolute than ever.

"Rest assured, Momo, this time, I will definitely take you all with me when we leave the family. We will stand on our own and no longer endure such humiliation!"

Dong Momo was deeply moved. At this point, the lady still thought of taking her away.

How could she not be touched?

But she also knew that someone had to take the blame for Wang Momo's death, so she couldn't leave.

Still, at this critical moment, she didn't want to say anything that would worry the madam.

So she nodded and said,

"It's up to Madam to decide."

After saying all this, the Imperial Physician finally arrived late.

Seeing a stranger, Madam Dong and Dong Momo were both very alert.

They fixed their gaze on him, not daring to relax for a moment, fearing he might harm Lin Muzhi just like before.

Moments later, the pulse diagnosis was finished.

The Imperial Physician sighed deeply, shaking his head as he spoke.

"Madam, please accept my condolences. It seems the Third Young Master will not make it."

Upon hearing this, Madam Dong felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her body instantly weakened.

Dong Momo quickly supported her, and both of them fell to the floor in front of the bed.

But this time, Madam Dong did not cry weakly.

Instead, she took a moment to steady herself, stood up, and instructed Dong Momo,

"Leave the Third Young Master in your care. I will go see my father-in-law with the Imperial Physician!"

The determination in her eyes was something Dong Momo had never seen before.

This resolve carried an air of desperation as if she was willing to sacrifice herself if necessary.

Thus, Dong Momo solemnly nodded and replied,

"Madam, don't worry. I will take good care of the Third Young Master."
