By the time Gu Ling 'er drank the medicine and was helped to sleep by the nanny, it was already close to the end of the night. To Zu Ling 'er, who was a night owl in her previous life, it was nothing. It was common for him to rush his thesis and search for information online until eleven or twelve o'clock. However, with Gu Ling 'er's small body, she could no longer open her eyes. Even when she drank the medicine, she closed her eyes and swallowed it unconsciously.
The bitter medicine was not difficult to swallow in his half-conscious state. Before Nanny Chen put down the bowl of medicine in her hand, Gu Linger had been invited by the handsome son of the Duke of Zhou to play Gomoku.
Nanny Chen looked at Miss's sharp chin and sighed silently. She gently brushed away a strand of restless hair on Gu Ling 'er's face and pulled the blanket up. She looked at Lian' er, who was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes, and said in a low voice,"Lian 'er, I'll wait here. Why don't you go back to your room and rest?”
Lian 'er rubbed her sore eyes and shook her head.""Nanny, you've asked for a doctor and asked for medicine today. You should be tired. I'll just lie on the small couch beside Miss's bed for a while.”
Seeing her firm attitude, Nanny Chen thought for a moment and said,""How about this? You guard the first half of the night, and I'll guard the second half of the night. You still have to work tomorrow. Even a man made of iron can't stand staying up night after night. Moreover, you're still growing. If you don't grow tall in the future, your mother won't forgive you. Won't she find trouble with me?”
Thinking of her mother who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, Lian 'er smiled.""Look at what you're saying. Others don't know, but how can Lian 'er not know? Nanny, you've always taken good care of Lian 'er and never let Lian' er do any heavy work. My mother has been thinking about you for a long time. She said that she would come over personally to thank you when she was free!”
"You little girl, you're just a sharp-tongued person. Oh right, in the future, you should avoid Mrs. Yoo. Today, she didn't get any advantage and was also scolded by Old Master. She must hate Young Miss and you. In the future, don't run out of the courtyard if you have nothing to do.”
Nanny was still afraid of what happened today. A good little girl almost lost her life. Although Third Miss's courtyard was desolate and remote, it was good that no one disturbed it. In the Gu residence, from the old lady to the servants, who was willing to come over? They all avoided her.
Lian 'er's face turned pale. Thinking about how she had almost been punished, her heart was still beating wildly. She bit the corner of her lips and glanced at Third Miss, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. She quietly moved closer to Nanny's ear and said in surprise,""Nanny, the sky just turned dark today. After Miss screamed and fell to the ground, I used my finger to probe under her nose. She was clearly not breathing, so…Just now, Miss suddenly sat up, and it really gave me a shock!”
Nanny Chen's expression changed. She also looked at Gu Linger, who was lying steadily on the bed. She pulled Lian 'er and whispered,""You can't say anything outside. Miss was suddenly shocked and phlegm blinded her heart, causing her to go into temporary shock. Third Miss is also a bitter person. The rumors outside are already enough to make people angry. You can't add to the trouble.”
Lian 'er's eyes were filled with deep sympathy. She nodded heavily and said,"Nanny, don't worry. Lian 'er will definitely not say anything. However, I was thinking that perhaps Miss 'coma this time wasn't a bad thing. You see, didn't Master Tianming say that when Miss is ten years old, she will go through a tribulation? If her soul returns from the tribulation, she will be very amazing in the future. Perhaps the people around her will be able to help (Fang Yan, get benefits)! Now that he thought about it, the young miss's demeanor after waking up seemed to be very different from before. She seemed to be very calm and composed. Do you think that the coma this time coincidentally attracted the remnant soul of the young miss from another world? Isn't this a great thing?"
Hearing her words, Nanny Chen was moved. She stared at the young lady's peaceful sleeping face on the bed. Ever since she was sent to take care of the young miss, she could not remember the young miss sleeping so soundly. In the past, Third Miss would either cry non-stop at night or curl up into a ball. Even when she was asleep, her brows were always furrowed and she would wake up from time to time.
Ever since she had called the doctor back, she had vaguely noticed that the way Miss looked at people was different from usual. In the past, she was always evasive and timid. She never dared to look people in the eye. Not only was Miss 'gaze calm, but her every move was no longer like a ten-year-old child. She had the aura of a young lady from a wealthy family.
Perhaps, it was really as Lian 'er said, Miss finally had a good time and was about to change her luck!
Thinking of this, a sincere smile appeared on Nanny Chen's face. She had been serving Third Miss since she was a baby. She had watched her grow from a little girl who could not even hold her head to a toddler who was learning how to speak and slowly grow up. Being together day and night like this, even a stone would be warm, not to mention that Miss grew up eating her milk.
It wasn't that she didn't feel sorry for this poor lady, but what could she do? After all, she was just a servant. Even her own fate was in the hands of others. What right did she have to save others? The only thing she could do was to treat this poor young lady better and give her a trace of warmth that she could not get anywhere else.
Nanny put her hands together and muttered silently,""Bodhisattva, please bless our young miss from now on, and don't be disturbed by those demons and ghosts again!”
She clasped her hands together and bowed in all four directions of the room. Then, she knelt in front of the only valuable object in the room, the White Jade Guanyin. She kowtowed a few times devoutly and changed the incense that was about to burn out in the incense burner.
This white jade Guanyin was taken out of Third Miss 'dowry by the old lady out of pity and sent over. Unfortunately, she did not receive the effect of exorcising the evil spirits. Miss still lived in fear all day long, suffering from the pain of being frightened.
After respectfully offering the incense, Nanny Chen took Lian 'er and bowed to the Jade Guanyin as a blessing for Miss. After completing a series of actions, Nanny Chen told Lian 'er,""Be alert in the first half of the night. If there's anything wrong, shout loudly. I'll open the door and windows of our room before I go to bed.”
"Nanny, don't worry! I won't sleep. I'll just lie in front of Miss's bed for a while. I won't delay things.”Lian 'er nodded solemnly and sent Nanny out of the room. She then carefully checked the room before closing the doors and windows.
The night was very dark and quiet. The moon hid in the thick clouds and fell asleep. Outside the window, an old locust tree that had not been trimmed for a long time shook its dense leaves slightly in the wind, making a rustling sound.
Lian 'er walked quietly to Gu Ling' er's bedside. In the past, Miss's sleep was very light. She would wake up with a start at the slightest movement. Her eyes were wide open in fear, and she did not dare to fall asleep for a long time. Miss seemed to be really tired tonight. She slept so soundly that she didn't even notice Lian 'er stuffing her arm under the blanket.
It would be great if Miss could be like today every day and sleep soundly. Lian 'er put on a thick coat and took a wooden stool. She sat by Gu Ling' er's bed and propped her chin with her left hand. Her consciousness gradually blurred...
Ling 'er…Ling' er…
An ethereal voice sounded as if it came from beyond the heavens and entered Gu Ling 'er's ears. It gave her a feeling of deja vu.
Ling 'er! Wake up, you little lazy worm!
The voice was like an echo in the empty valley, filled with love and affection.
Who was it? Who called me? Such a tone, such a form of address. Could it be his mother? That's not right. Mom's voice doesn't sound so young. I don't have a sister. Who is it?
Ling 'er, if you don't get up, I'm going to spank your butt!
The voice was so ethereal that no one could tell where it came from. The faint smile conveyed the other party's kindness and intimacy.
Curiosity and surprise filled Gu Ling 'er's heart as she slowly opened her eyes to search for the owner of the voice.
However, the scene before her eyes made her widen her eyes, her mouth agape, and her face filled with shock.
Where was this place? Why was it so gray everywhere? Where were the broken cabinets, broken tables, and broken stools in the room? Who took away the dim candlelight? Why did the heavens and earth seem to have no boundaries?
He squinted his eyes and looked further away. He felt as if he was inside a huge egg. Everything he could see was gray. There were no mountains, no water, and no green!
Heavens! Gu Ling 'er covered her face speechlessly." How did I offend you? I dressed up as a little concubine's daughter who was bullied and ignored by her parents. Let's not talk about you anymore." Why did you send me into an eggshell before I could adapt to my new identity?
Meow! Could it be that I'm wearing it again? This time, I'm dressed like a chicken? Or was it not hatched?
