Manbao learned about Old Lady Wang's stroke only when she went to Chongwen Pavilion to edit books the next day; Director Xiao was the one who informed her.
The previous day, a servant from Lord Wang's household rushed to the Imperial Hospital with a note to fetch Imperial Doctor Chen. Shortly after Chen arrived, someone came to fetch me, and only then did I learn Old Lady Wang had suffered a stroke.
Manbao asked with concern, "How is the old lady?"
Not only Manbao, but also the editors from Chongwen Pavilion at the neighboring table perked up their ears.
"The issue is neither minor nor major. The old lady may have some difficulty walking in the future, and her mouth has become slightly crooked. Fortunately, it's relatively mild; with careful recovery and avoiding agitation, there's a chance of recovery within a few years."
Curiously, Manbao lowered her voice and asked, "Why did the old lady have a stroke?"
