Hearing the footsteps approaching the door, the two little fellows flapped their wings and flew up from Ling 'er's knees in a panic. In their panic, they almost collided. Ling 'er couldn't help but laugh when she saw their cute and interesting looks. The moment Nanny stepped into Ling 'er's room, the two cute little elves glowed and disappeared into the morning light.
Nanny carried the bowl of medicine and carefully stepped over the threshold, smiling lovingly.""Miss, why are you so happy? I can hear your laughter from afar. Did you sleep well last night?"
Ling 'er sat on the bed and stretched lazily. She felt that every pore in her body had opened up. The weak feeling from last night had long disappeared. Her entire body was extremely comfortable. She couldn't help but smile back at Nanny and said in a bright and charming voice,""I slept very well. I've never slept so comfortably!”Of course, apart from the infuriating encounter with the shadow demon last night! Ling 'er muttered in her heart.
Nanny looked at Miss's smiling face, which was brighter than the morning sun. Her eyes became hot and tears almost flowed out. How long had it been? How long had it been since Miss last smiled? It was as if the young miss had been living in fear and helplessness for the past ten years. Other than anxiety and sadness, there was no other expression on her face. She had never seen such a bright and moving smile in her memory.
She sniffed hard and was genuinely happy for the change in Miss. For the past ten years, the kind and loving her had been with Third Miss day and night, taking care of her daily life. It could be said that Gu Ling 'er was brought up by her. Although she was inevitably afraid when she was with the young lady who would curl up into a ball or scream at the slightest movement of the wind, she was still worried. The human heart was always fleshy. After a long time, she loved this pitiful Third Miss who was treated worse than a servant.
It was said that her birth characters were light and would attract some filthy things, but in these ten years, other than dealing with Third Miss's fear and panic, she had never seen any strange things. In these ten years, hadn't she and Little Lian been fine? There was no sickness or disaster, and he had never met the demons fabricated by the servants who slandered the young lady.
Didn't the doctor say that she had heart palpitations? That crazy little girl, Xiao Cao. Weren't her mother and sister also acting weird and abnormal? Why did it all fall on Miss in the end? Third Young Miss was a little too wronged.
Nanny sighed in her heart and looked at Ling 'er with gentler eyes. She took two steps forward and handed Ling 'er a small bowl of soup that she had been frying for the whole morning. She tidied the young lady's messy hair and said gently,"Miss, drink it while it's hot. The medicinal effect will dissipate when it's cold.”
Gu Ling 'er frowned as she looked at the black medicinal liquid in her hand that was emitting a strong medicinal smell. Based on her experience of helping her sister test the temperature of medicine for nearly ten years, she dared to bet that this medicinal liquid must be as bitter as bile.
Nanny also saw the change in her expression. She took out a small cloth bag from her pocket and opened it. Inside were two pieces of hawthorn wrapped in yellow oil paper. She had asked her son, who was an apprentice in the pharmacy, to buy it with the copper coins she had saved from her meager salary. Because she knew that the young lady who was weak and sickly when she was young would definitely vomit if she did not have sugar to suppress the taste of the medicine after taking it. Therefore, she developed the habit of carrying two candies with her at all times.
Gu Ling 'er felt the nanny's sincere love. She smiled at the nanny and pinched her nose to drink the medicine. Just as she had expected, this medicinal liquid seemed to have been added with double the amount of coptis, making it extremely miserable. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her thin face was filled with pain.
Seeing this, the nanny quickly took the bowl from the young lady's hand with one hand, picked up a piece of candy with the other hand, and stuffed it into Ling 'er's mouth without any explanation.
The cheapest syrup had a faint sweetness to begin with, and the taste was not very good. Compared to the variety of toffees and fruit candies in his previous life, the taste was like heaven and earth.
However, when Gu Ling 'er saw Nanny carefully wrap the remaining piece of candy the size of a fingernail and put it close to her body, it was as if the candy was the most precious item in the world. Her heart was sweeter than honey…
"Miss, it's time for breakfast!" Little Lian walked in with an ugly expression on her face, her hand holding the food box tightly.
Nanny and Ling 'er looked at the little girl's slightly indignant emotions with confusion. "What's wrong, Little Lian?" Nanny couldn't help but ask. Who made you angry again?"
When she heard someone ask, Little Lian's anger seemed to have an outlet. Anger filled her little face and she placed the food box on the table in the middle of the room. She said angrily,"If it was just to make me angry, I wouldn't be so angry! Nanny, look, Miss is frightened and needs some nourishment. But look! What kind of food did those old fellows in the kitchen give the young miss? There were two steamed buns, a plate of salted vegetables, and a bowl of porridge. It was not as rich as the food of the sisters in the old lady's room…Yesterday, the old master said that if there was anything he needed, he could ask for it. Today, those guys in the kitchen actually dared to deduct the young miss's food like this…No! I want to see the old master and let him judge!”
The little girl's mouth was still moving, and she was shouting like a machine gun. She wanted to go to the main house to look for Old Master to judge her, completely forgetting how Mrs. Yoo looked at her as if she was an enemy yesterday.
Gu Ling 'er was afraid that something would happen to her again after she had saved her life with great difficulty, so she hurriedly got off the bed and pulled her back. She comforted her,"Little Lian, it's not worth getting angry with those heartless people. In fact, this breakfast was already very good. It was much better than before. At least the steamed buns were made of white flour, the porridge was not overnight, and there was also a plate of salted vegetables, right?”As soon as she finished speaking, she was also stunned. Strange, how did she know that such crude food was much better than usual?
Ling 'er's relaxed brows furrowed again. Because she realized that there were many memories in her mind that did not belong to her twenty-eight years. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the original memories of this small body.
Strange! When she woke up last night, her mind was not filled with these messy, fearful, and depressed memories. Why did they all come out after a nap?
Suddenly, she thought of something and her face turned pale. He remembered that there was such a plot in the novels of his previous life. Two souls coexisted in one body, and the weak one would gradually be devoured by the strong one, and the soul would dissipate. As an invader, would he be gradually assimilated and swallowed by the natives?
She would never have thought that after absorbing the spiritual energy last night, her soul and body would gradually fuse together. Therefore, the memories of her original body that remained in her mind would fuse with the memories of her soul.
But Gu Ling 'er didn't know what was going on! The more she thought about it, the more likely it was. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she felt. Her originally sallow little face was now completely drained of blood, no different from a dead person.
When Little Lian saw how frightened Miss was, she thought that her timid nature was causing trouble again. She quickly comforted her,"Miss, what's wrong? Don't scare Little Lian! This servant will not find trouble with them. Wake up, wake up!”She saw that the young miss's eyes were fixed on her and her expression had become extremely ugly. She thought that she had been scared out of her wits and blamed herself so much that she almost cried.
