When he heard Xiao Zeyu ask about his parents, the smile on his face disappeared. He said to his uncle with a desolate expression,
"My mother had heart palpitations the year before last, and her heart always hurts. Last year, she got asthma, and she can't breathe in the winter."
"Heart palpitations? Why didn't your mother mention it in her letter?"
Xiao Zeyu became anxious when he heard that his sister had contracted such an illness. Xiao Ying only reported the good news and not the bad news every time she wrote a letter. Every year, Su Qing would ask someone to send them the commonly used medicine. If they knew that she had heart palpitations, they would have sent the medicine long ago.
"Mother doesn't want you and Aunt to worry."
