In fact, the Elder's illness was also one of Bai Jingrou's schemes.
The Elder had the habit of lighting an incense before he slept. Thus, she hypnotised Deng Cui, the maid who was in charge of cleaning the Elder's room, into tampering with the incense. The fragrance of the tampered incense was meant to cause the Elder to suffer a heart attack.
Bai Jingrou suddenly realised that she hadn't seen Deng Cui around in the mansion today. Could it be that she had already been found?
But that didn't matter. Even if Deng Cui confessed to her crimes, she would not be able to state Bai Jingrou's involvement in this matter.

Fang Xinxin rushed to support him. "Grandfather Long, it's alright. As long as you're here."
