  The old lady hastily handed Rong'er over to the wet nurse beside her, and Xiaoyu had just crouched down to help her put on her shoes when Madame rushed in.

  Her face was pale and her expression was flustered, tears already falling before she spoke: "Say Yuan Niang...she..."

  "It's nothing, it's nothing." The old lady gave the big madam a signal with her eyes, hinting that Er Ge was present. "It's just that I miss you, let me come over and chat with you."

  The big wife just appeared beside Mrs. Tai's brother-in-law.

  She forced a smile at Jun Ge: "Jun Ge, have you eaten?"

  "Brother nodded with a smile and replied to his grandmother in a milky voice: 'I've eaten. I ate rice balls.'"

  "Good boy." The old lady smiled and patted his head, the wet nurse hugged Zun Ge to pay respects to the old lady, and Jing Jie also came forward to see her grandmother. The old lady took out a small jade monkey from her bosom for Jing Jie to play with. Jing Jie thanked her. On the other side, Tai Fu Ren had just finished putting on her shoes, smiling as she called Wei Zi to take the two of them down to play, while she accompanied Da Tai Tai to Yuan Niang's place.

  The room was quiet and still, with incense sticks lit, giving off a sweet fragrance that made people feel comfortable.

  Seeing Tai Fu and Da Tai Tai, Yuan Niang's mother-in-law got up from her bed to take care of her.

  Old Lady Wang signaled her to be quiet, so Tao Mama silently gave the couple a blessing.

  The old lady walked up to the bed and sat down on a small stool that had been placed there before Taomama, tears streaming silently down her face.

  Old Mrs. Tao handed a handkerchief to Eldest Mistress to wipe away her tears, and accompanied by Nanny Tao, sat with her for a while in front of Yuan Niang's bed, then left Nanny Tao behind, the two went to the front courtyard.

  "...Please ask Dr. Liu Zheng from Ta Hospital to take her pulse and prescribed a few doses of calming medicine," Mrs. Tai said tactfully about Yuan Niang's condition to the elder Mrs. Tai, then took out the prescription from her sleeve and handed it over.

  "How could he have vomited blood? Wasn't everything fine during this time?" The mistress took the prescription and muttered to herself. She also took advantage of the bright light in the courtyard to carefully examine the prescription: "This is a prescription for tonifying Qi and nourishing Blood, although the medicinal materials are expensive, our family can afford it..." As she spoke, she suddenly came to her senses, stared blankly, covered her mouth, and burst into tears again.

  The old lady was also heartbroken and burst into tears along with her.

  Yao Huang and several others came forward to comfort them: "...... Don't cry and hurt your body, the Fourth Madam is still counting on you to help take care of the Fourth Master!"

  The two of them heard this and slowly stopped crying.

  The maidservants then crowded around the two and went to the eastern wing of the main house, fetched water to help the two wash their faces.

  The old lady and the elder lady rearranged their hair and sat down again. The elder lady's tears fell again.

  "Good sister," said Lady Wang, trying to comfort her, "if Yuan Niang wakes up and sees you in this state, won't it make her even more heartbroken?"

  The old lady then took out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears. The madam ordered someone to fetch well water to apply to her eyes. Seeing that her emotions were gradually calming down, she personally brewed a cup of tea for her.

  The lady took the tea cup and had just taken a sip when a little maid ran in: "Madam, your sister-in-law, the fourth madam has woken up and wants to see you two."

  The old lady heard the tea cup being thrown and walked out, leaving the maid who came to report a distance of four or five steps. The madam hurriedly followed her.

  The woman lay on her back in bed, hearing a noise, turned her face over, her eyes dull and without focus.

  Madam Ta's heart skipped a beat.

  Mother, I can't see it anymore...

  The old lady had not yet noticed her daughter's abnormality, walked over and held her hand: "Yuanniang, are you better?"

  Yuanniang's eyes turned to Dajie, but she couldn't find a place to land, and slid to the other side: "Niang, when did you come?" Her voice was weak and thin as a mosquito.

  "Just arrived." Qing E had already placed a small stool behind Mrs. Dai. Mrs. Dai sat down and asked Yuan Niang, "Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

  "It's nothing!" Yuanni smiled and shook her head: "Have you seen Junge?" She spoke with great difficulty.

  "Look, look!" The old lady said hastily, "He is having a great time playing with Zhen Jie now!"

  "That's good." Yuanni smiled and said, "Mother, it was I who asked Master Hou to... bring you here. I thought that if something were to happen to me... with Brother Yun by my side... there would be no one to take care of him... so I wanted to choose from among my sisters... a gentle and kind-hearted one... to take care of Brother Yun..."

  It's finally said!

  The big wife did not have a bit of joy after the victory, but instead felt a sour taste in her heart, and more so, she felt it was not worth it for her daughter. After all the hardships they had been through to get to today, just when they were about to reap the rewards, who would have thought that they ended up making a wedding dress for someone else.

  She gazed at her pale and thin daughter, her heart filled with sorrow and indignation, tears streaming down her face, unable to utter a single word.

  Yu Niang couldn't see her mother's expression, her hands wildly grasping at the air: "Mother... Mother..."

  The old lady stared at her daughter in surprise: "Yuanniang......" tightly grasping her daughter's hand, "Your eyes......"

  "It's okay, it's okay." Yuanniang grasped her mother's hand, "I was dizzy for a moment and couldn't see very clearly!"

  The old lady was very puzzled, and wanted to ask more questions, but Yuanni had already smiled and said: "Mother, please help me... choose one from my sisters-in-law... to take care of Junge. I'm worried about him..." A few words later, her lips turned white.

  The big wife nodded with tears in her eyes.

  Yuanniang had no choice but to ask her mother again: "Is it okay?"

  Is it for the sake of telling Madam?

  The lady thought for a moment and said loudly: "I promise you, I promise you everything!"

  Yuanniang then revealed a smile and looked around for Tai Furen: "Mother, look, which of my sisters is good?"

  The old lady thought that when the big lady heard Yuan Niang say "find a younger sister to take care of Jun Ge", she was only sad and not surprised, her heart had already turned a thousand times. Now seeing Yuan Niang ask her, she smiled lightly: "The mother-in-law is the most familiar with teaching the young ladies personally, I just hope Jun Ge is fine!"

  The lady was at a loss for words instead.

  Should I mention the 11th daughter, will it cause resentment from the Xu family? If I don't mention the 11th daughter and things go awry, what then? But if I don't clarify today, I'll be disappointing my daughter's efforts...

  She hesitated, and Yuanni had already spoken softly: "Mother, look at the eleventh daughter-in-law. Although she is young, but dignified and elegant, her manners are proper..." Her voice was extremely weak.

  Madam Tai was taken aback for a moment.

  Unexpectedly, Yuan Niang chose Eleven Niang!

  She thought of what happened in the small courtyard that day.

  Could it be that this eleventh girl also participated in it?

  A thought flashed through his mind, and he felt a slight sense of discomfort in his heart.

  The old lady saw that it was her daughter who said this, and knew that she must have some confidence in it. She nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her daughter: "You say it's good, then it's good. I'll follow you."

  Yuanniang then asked Tai Furen: "You, you think what?"

  "Perhaps it's a bit too small?"

  "You're still young." Yuan Niang smiled palely, "But being young also has its advantages. When the time comes, you can personally bring them by your side and train them for two years. It's likely that their temperament will become more stable, and they'll be more reliable when doing things."

  In the flash of insight, Tai Furen suddenly understood.

  At a young age, it's impossible to complete the house... drag on for a few years, and Brother Jun will grow up...

  This is exactly in line with Yuanniang's usual style!

  It's good for Madam to think about it too.

  The bigger the age gap between brothers, the smaller the conflict!

  "It's still up to Madame Yuan to consider it carefully." Old Lady Tao said with a smile, "It depends on what the lady of the house thinks now?"

  Passed without any hitch...

  The old lady let out a soft sigh. She nodded and said: "Eleventh girl is someone I've watched grow up, she's a good kid. In the future, she'll definitely treat Brother Yun well."

  Yuanniang listened, and her eyelids slowly drooped down.

  "Yuanniang!" The old lady's heart skipped a beat, and tears flowed all over her face.

  The old lady also walked a few steps forward in tension and reached the bedside, calling out "Yuanniang".

  Mother Yu slowly opened her eyes again: "Mother, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while!"

  "Alright, alright." The old lady said hastily, "You sleep, you sleep, I'll stay here and watch over you."

  Yuanniang listened with a faint smile, revealing a childlike serene smile.

  See off the old lady, Mrs. Tai went for half a month.

  Xu Lingyi is painting.

  Seeing his mother come in, he put down his brush and went to meet her: "What's the matter with you? Let Xiaoyu call out for me, why bother coming yourself. It's so far..."

  "Let's take a walk," said Madame Wang, and with her son supporting her, she walked over to the painting table.

  In the midst of cloudy mountains, an old woodcutter wearing a rain hat walks alone on a winding mountain path, his lonely and desolate figure standing out on paper.

  The old lady looked for a while, lightly sighed, and turned around to sit on the arhat bed in the main hall.

  Xu Lingyi personally brewed a pot of Lao Jun Mei for Madame Tai.

  The old lady took over the tea cup and sipped a mouthful, looking at the pear blossoms outside the hall like early snow, smiled and said: "This flower blooms for a long time."

  "Spring has come late this year." Xulinyi sat down in the armchair beside her mother, following her gaze out the window. "However, the apricot tree next door has already produced a few small green fruits. Do you want to go take a look later?"

  The old lady listened with interest and stood up saying: "Let's go take a look!"

  Xu Lingyi hurriedly supported her mother, and the maidservants surrounded them as they went to the apricot forest beside the Half Moon Pond.

  Under the light, Madam Tai slowly told Xu Lingyi about Yuan Niang's decision: "......They all think alike. It's just unknown whether this little girl is genuine or not."

  Xu Lingyi's footsteps paused for a moment.

  "Mother, no matter whether she is genuine or not, since Yuan Niang dares to let her take care of Ge Ge, she must have a way to control her." He gazed at the warm spring day beside him, "You can rest assured!"

  The old lady stopped in her tracks.

  She looked at her son with a very serious expression.

  "What's wrong?" Her mother suddenly stopped in her tracks. Xu Lingyi lowered her head and saw the strange gaze in her mother's eyes, smiling and saying, "What do you want to say?"

  "I heard that Xiao Wu let Danyang wear a small servant's clothes and took her to the tea house to listen to the opera..."

  Xu Lingyi hastily smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry. I will have a good talk with him. He won't be so reckless again."

  The old lady gazed blankly at her son, silent for a moment, then sighed: "No need, they're happy, I'm happy. Let them be..." Her eyes were slightly moist.

  Xu Lingyi looked at her mother in confusion, not knowing why she was sad!

  I recommend Wei Feng's new work "Huo Se Sheng Xian" to everyone, don't miss it if you like fantasy! Of course, don't miss it if you like romance either!

  Hehe......
