After resting in the house for a few days, all kinds of precious medicinal herbs and tonics were sent in by Miss Chen like flowing water. Everyone in the residence said that Miss Chen was generous and treated Eldest Miss better than Second Miss, even closer than her own. Mother Zhang was very angry about this. She told Wan Qiu about it, but she smiled and didn't care.
At dawn, footsteps and voices came from outside. Wan Qiu woke up early. She had already been lying in bed for five days. During this period, Miss Zhang had sent people to take care of her and sent many precious medicinal herbs, all of which reflected the virtue of Miss Zhang. As a daughter, it was time for Wanqiu to be filial and visit her sick mother.
He glanced at Mother Zhang, who was dozing off on her small stool. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. Mother Zhang was worried that Zhilan and the others would sleep too soundly, so she insisted on keeping vigil by herself more than ten days ago. Wanqiu thought about it and did not call her, but quietly got out of bed.
When Mother Zhang heard the sound, she woke up with a start. When she saw that Wan Qiu had woken up, she said softly,"It's still early, why is Young Miss awake so early? You should sleep a little longer, this old servant will prepare some food for Young Miss."
"Mother Zhang, let the girl do the night watch in the future. I'm already well. Wan Qiu looked at Mother Zhang's bloodshot eyes and asked with concern.
When Madam Zhang heard Wanqiu's words, she couldn't help but be moved to tears. She didn't want Wanqiu to see her, so she quickly lowered her head and said," Hey." She immediately turned around and instructed the servant girl to come in and wash Wanqiu up. She then went to prepare breakfast.
After a simple breakfast, Wan Qiu walked to the courtyard where her mother, Miss Chen, lived. Wan Qiu's biological mother passed away during childbirth. She was now the stepmother who had brought Wan Qiu up since she was young. She was the stepsister of her biological mother, Chen, and also Wan Qiu's aunt. Wan Qiu had been very close to her since she was young. After her rebirth, she finally understood that her stepmother's so-called love was just a little estrangement and hatred.
The forest outside the Green Caltrop Pavilion was covered in a thick layer of snow. Occasionally, when the wind blew, the snow balls resting on the boxwood treetops would rustle down, revealing green leaves, making people's spirits rise. Spring is coming! Just as she walked into the main room, she smelled a bitter and strong medicinal smell. Miss Chen had yet to get up. There was a bowl of boiled medicine on the mahogany table beside her. Chuqing happened to take a thin blanket and put it on Miss Chen. When she saw Wanqiu walk in, she quickly made a gesture to keep quiet. Wanqiu nodded gently and quietly left the inner room. She saw another maid of the Lu family walk in from outside. It was Chuqing. Like Chuyun, she was the senior maid of her mother, Miss Chen. Later on, when Lu Wanling married Lin Yulou, Chuyun was the dowry. During those days of shock and ridicule, Chuyun had secretly helped her a few times. According to her, her parents had received her mother's kindness. "Miss, why are you here on such a cold day? Take care of your body. Auntie Zhang is the same.”Chuyun quickly put down what she was doing and gave Wanqiu a hand pot. "Sister Chuyun." Qi Guan gave her a sincere smile. Chuqing lifted the curtain and walked out. She said softly to Qi Guan," Madam was talking about Miss coming over today yesterday, so she slept a little late. She hasn't gotten up yet. Miss, please wait." Wanqiu lowered her head to gather her emotions and asked worriedly," Has Mother's illness worsened?"”"She was originally much better, but last month, Young Miss fell into the water and was sick for half a month. Madam was anxious and initially felt better, but Young Miss fell into the water again to save Eldest Young Master. She could not let go of this and the number of times she fell ill increased.”Chu Qing said worriedly. " Then what should we do…" Wan Qiu lowered her head, looking pensive. Was it really for me? He was still a mystery when he fell into the water, but now that he thought about it, it was very likely that it had something to do with his second sister Guan Ling. Xuan 'er must have been done by Miss Chen. He heard that after he fell into the water, Guan Ling also fell seriously ill. She must have been taking care of her biological daughter.
However, now was not the time to shed all pretense of cordiality. " Sister Chuyun, I heard that the Imperial Physician Xia in the palace can cure all kinds of illnesses. I heard from Mother Zhang that last month, the young master of the Prince's mansion was on the verge of death. He actually brought him back to life. Ask the steward to talk to Father," Qi Guan instructed Chuyun. Chuyun was a little puzzled. It seemed that Miss had changed since she fell into the water. How should she put it? In the past, Miss was very filial and close to Madam. The servant maids and old women had privately said that the Eldest Miss was no different from Madam's biological daughter. However, it was inevitable for the eldest miss of a prestigious family to have the Eldest Miss 'temper and have a lively personality. Now, it seemed that she had become much more mature overnight. In short, Madam should be very pleased that Miss had become so sensible.
Then, she lowered her body." Hey, this servant will let Manager Qi go now."”
Wanqiu quietly sipped her tea and waited while Chuqing waited on her by the side.
After a while, the servant girl inside reported,""Madam is up." Miss Chen…Wan Qiu curled her lips.
Chu Qing opened the curtain, and a beautiful woman dressed in luxurious clothes walked in. She had a high bun and wore red silk woven with gold and five-colored sleeves. She wore a golden dress with a hundred birds embroidered on the ground. Her eyes were like flowing waves, and the corners of her lips carried a warm smile. However, there was an obvious sickly look on his face.
Wan Qiu narrowed her eyes and looked at the person who had come. She was in a daze. Her mother had passed away early and there was a portrait of her mother in her father's study. She vaguely saw that Miss Chen looked 50% similar to her. It was precisely because of this that she liked her very much the moment she met her.
Wanqiu smiled and was about to sit up to salute, but Miss Chen quickly stopped her. Her eyes were filled with deep worry as she held her hand extremely intimately. She did not seem to be faking it at all."Silly child, don't get up. Let mother take a good look at you.”Hearing the term 'mother' again, Wan Qiu was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit. This woman was so hypocritical. After pretending to be a loving mother for so many years, she must have cursed her and Xuan 'er half to death in her heart. She really had to admire her endurance. Miss Chen looked at Wan Qiu carefully. After a while, she revealed a relieved smile and heaved a sigh of relief. She did not notice the flash of coldness in Wan Qiu's eyes. She only comforted her gently with an even more tender and friendly smile,""Fortunately, I've only lost a little weight. Qiu 'er, it's been hard on you. That day, my health wasn't very good and I happened to be out on a pilgrimage. I just received the news and immediately rushed back. Your sister is too naughty, I will definitely punish her properly later!”"Mother, don't blame Younger Sister. She's still young.”She was very young, but she was also very vicious. Wan Qiu smiled very gently. "She's not as sensible as you. That's why Mother dotes on you so much. "Qiu 'er, when my elder sister passed away, she entrusted you and your sister to me. I let you receive such a situation. How can I face my elder sister in the underworld?" Miss Chen cried sadly. She picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Her loving eyes lingered on Wanqiu's body.
Mother Zhang watched worriedly from the side, afraid that her young miss would be deceived by this honey-mouthed but sword-bellied madam again. However, due to her status, she could not say anything.
