Chapter One Hundred and Twelve: Hidden Trouble

  ♂?,,

  Liu Yiniang's tears fell, and with red eyes, she begged the madam to let her stay and take care of Ding Min. The madam nodded and said: "As Min'er's birth mother, staying here to take care of her is better than having the maids do it. Don't cry anymore, if Min'er needs anything, just have someone tell me, I won't mistreat her in any way."

  "Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam."

  Madam Liu squatted down several times in a row, and the old lady held onto Yingtou's hand as they left Ding Min's chamber. Madam Liu stroked her daughter's cheek, feeling the chill enter her body... the cold air... Madam Liu's heart was pained like a knife cut, poor foolish child, for going to pray for blessings at Ci'an Temple and catching a chill that congealed in her body, it's likely to be an obstacle for having children. Madam Liu's tears fell like rain, thinking of every possible way to expel the cold air from Ding Min's body, without any biological children of her own, her daughter's fate was too bitter.

  "Min'er, so foolish, thinking the madam is a good person?" Liu Niang cried, "Just like me in the past, fooled by her too... Min'er... why won't you listen to your mother's words and beg for Madam's protection?"

  Aunt Liu's words, Ding Min couldn't hear, she was trapped in a dark nightmare, the cruel executioner pressed Ding Min onto the guillotine, while elegantly dressed Ding Ruo smiled as she watched Ding Min, no matter how she cried and shouted, Ding Ruo just kept smiling, refusing to save her...

  "Ding Rou... Ding Rou... I won't let you go, ... there must be something that belongs to me too."

  Aunt Liu couldn't quite catch what Ding Min was muttering to herself, but she could clearly hear the name "Ding Ruo". Fragmented and intermittent, she also heard "Lanling Hou" and "older sister's husband". Aunt Liu's expression changed, and she grasped her daughter's hand. "Min'er, you must think this through carefully. The Lanling Hou estate... is not a good place to go. You absolutely cannot become a concubine... being a concubine would ruin your life, just like it ruined mine. How could I let you suffer the same fate as me, living a life of pain and hardship, always having to curry favor with others?"

  In the past, in front of flowers and under the moon, tender words were spoken, but they couldn't compare to standing on ceremony in front of Madame, nor could they compare to the difference in status between wife and concubine. Liu Niang was still relatively favored, and she didn't dare be even slightly presumptuous in front of Madame. If Madame were to deal with her, Ding Dong wouldn't say a word for her. As for the concubines, they were just women who served by standing. How could Liu Niang bear to let Ding Min become like her? The old lady would no longer help her; how could she protect her daughter and prevent Ding Min from falling into Madame's trap?

  The lady returned to the main house, took off her makeup and jewelry, washed up, and was about to rest. After drinking several bowls of ginger soup, Li's mother walked over to the lady, her nose a bit stuffy and breathing not very smoothly. Fortunately, she had an extra thought and didn't stand outside like Ding Min. She mostly stayed in the Ci'an Temple, staring at Ding Min. Baidu search for the latest chapter of Wu Dong Qian Kun

  Mrs. Li helped the madam onto the heated bed, and after receiving a signal from her, she climbed up onto the bed as well, curling up at the madam's feet. The maid closed the five-panel purple sandalwood screen door, making it impossible for outsiders to enter. The madam propped herself up on her elbows and first asked: "How long did Ting Ruo stay in Liu Shi's room?"

  "Return to the master, the skill of brewing a cup of tea."

  "Uh-huh."

  Mrs. Duan frowned, "Ding Min has been waiting at the Nian Ci An Temple for the fourth young master of the Yin Manor, it's really strange. The manor and the Yin Manor are just acquaintances, how did Ding Min hear about the fourth young master of the Yin Manor? They haven't even met before, how can she be sure that the fourth young master will go to the Nian Ci An Temple?"

  "It's probably because he heard the name of the Fourth Young Master when he went out. He remembered that in the early summer two years ago, the Emperor was on an inspection tour and happened to encounter a heavy rain, so he stayed at the Yin family's secondary mansion for more than two hours. The Fourth Young Master of the Yin family saw His Majesty there before going to the Yanjing Academy. Many people envied the good fortune of the Fourth Young Master of the Yin family, saying that it was not the fault of the lady of the Yin manor. Although the Fourth Young Master of the Yin family has also gained some fame in these two years, most people are probably already forgetting what happened back then."

  The Empress Dowager hesitated, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to have a different opinion about Grand Secretary Yin either, as if he had forgotten that Yin was the fourth son of the imperial family. What Ding Min said today is really puzzling."

  "Could she still have the heart to plot against you? Third Miss has caught a chill, injuring her vital energy. Once it settles in her bones, she will be barren..."

  The lady pursed her lips, "I'm not a stingy person. No matter what, Ding Min is the young mistress of the Ding family. It's just that having children has been difficult for her, and I feel sorry for her."

  "The master's heart is kind, treating the concubine-born miss as if she were his own flesh and blood. Good people will be rewarded, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva will bless the young lady to be safe and sound, bless the eldest young master and second young master to rise step by step."

  Mrs. Li was kicked by the madam's foot and smiled: "The slave servant added some money to Nian Ci today, and said a few words with the master of Nian Ci Temple. The slave servant heard that the master said a prescription, if the blood gas is insufficient when the lady is about to give birth, use tiger wolf medicine to recall her consciousness. Hearing Master Shitai say it makes sense, Lao Nu has an extra eye, bought the prescription and copied a copy, in case of Miss..."

  Mrs. Li slapped her own mouth, "Shh, shh, shh, this old slave's mouth speaks nonsense, the young lady will definitely be safe and sound, I'm thinking of being prepared for any situation."

  "Is there a plan? Don't get cheated."

  "Some, some, today I saw a woman who braved the wind and snow to thank the abbess of Ci'an Temple. She was on the verge of death, but that prescription saved her and also ensured the safety of her child. The old slave inquired about it in detail, how could he dare bring back a fake prescription? Ci'an Temple is remote and not prosperous, relying solely on the abbess's possession of this prescription to barely sustain itself. This prescription cannot be forged."

  The old lady nodded her head and said, "In that case, Min'er didn't go out for nothing."

  Mrs. Li shrank her body, "Third Miss went to Nian Ci An for the eldest miss's blessing, Buddhist families emphasize that sincerity is spiritual, Third Miss went to Nian Ci An and lost some yuanqi, perhaps the Buddha and Bodhisattva saw her sincerity and couldn't help but take away her lifespan and give it to the eldest miss."

  "Shut your mouth and stop talking nonsense."

  The lady pretended to be angry, and Li's mother gently patted her face, closed her eyes beside the lady's leg, "Master, Sixth Miss today?"

  She is good.

  Mrs. Li didn't ask any more questions, it was good that she could get a word from the master, Sixth Miss had already entered the master's eyes.

  Ding Min was ill, and Ding Rou accompanied the old lady as usual. In her free time, she got the old lady's consent to go to the study room to read two travelogues and miscellaneous books. Some of the profound and suspicious books, no matter how interested Ding Rou was, would not be touched. Sometimes she would meet Old Master Ding in the study room, and after Ding Rou bowed her knees and left, he wouldn't speak, nor would Ding Rou take the initiative to speak. Occasionally, when looking for a book, she would find Old Master Ding's scrutinizing gaze, perhaps thinking that Ding Rou wouldn't read books so quickly.

  Ding Rou had another advantage, which was that her good memory had not disappeared with the change of body. Every day when she looked in the mirror, she would find that her appearance was becoming more and more like her previous life. Ding Rou touched her cheek, feeling a bit tense. She didn't think it was a good thing that she was becoming more and more like Ding Yi. Fortunately, her current body was relatively young and immature, without Ding Yi's charming and elegant demeanor. But what about in the future? Once Ding Yi...Ding Rou would rather not marry her sister's husband and become Ding Yi's substitute.

  Since she couldn't change her appearance, Dinger could only hope that Dingyi would live a peaceful life until she got married. With only one month left before Dingyi gave birth, the mistress had gone to Langlinghou Mansion again two days ago and returned with an unmistakable joy in her eyes. According to what Li Mama said, Dingyi's complexion and body were not bad, and she was more willing to move around than last month. Dinger received a reward from Dingyi, which was exactly the same as Dingxiao's. The mistress also gave some bird's nest to Liu Shi, but Dinger caught a whiff of something different, fearing that she might not be an honest butterfly either.

  In the afternoon, Tai Furen took a rest. Ding Ruo put on her cloak and went out to visit Ding Min. Although she was seriously ill, after taking several doses of medicine, Ding Min recovered quickly. Especially when she heard that there would be a gathering at Wanmei Bieyuan three days later, Ding Min refused to fall behind. With this faith supporting her, Ding Min recovered even faster.

  "Third sister, you look quite well today, but it doesn't seem like you've just recovered from a serious illness."

  Ding Ruo sat on the embroidered stool beside Ding Min, with Ding Xuan, Ding Yu and Ding Yun also gathered around. Ding Ruo smiled and said: "Although third sister is thinner than before, she has gained a bit of frailty and pitifulness. Not to mention others, even I don't want to see third sister frown."

  Ding Min said: "Sixth sister."

  Still visible, still pitied, the breath is thicker, Ding Min's shy and tender appearance, with a hint of shyness, like the night blooming white jasmine, quietly admiring Liu Niang's good inheritance. In terms of looks, at this moment, Ding Min is not inferior to the most outstanding Ding Yu. After being frozen in Ci'an Temple, Ding Min suddenly seemed to understand something, and had one more part of deep thought than before, but the person who was supposed to appear did not appear, unexpectedly letting Ding Min also learn to think.

  "Big sister accompanied the bride, Amber, to give birth? She gave birth to a boy, but it seems like she's been injured and her body is weak. It'll take two or three years for her to recover and be able to get out of bed."

  Ding Min's face turned pale when he heard Ding Yu mention amber, "Amber? What did Fifth Sister say about her?"

  Ding Xiang smiled lightly and had the maid beside her bring over a embroidered pouch, "Third sister is ill, I went with mother to Eldest brother-in-law's residence, Xu Pei said she missed Third sister and specially embroidered this pouch for her. I couldn't decline, so I brought it back to give to Third sister on behalf of Xu Pei."

  Ding Min's face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly, "Handbag?"

  "It was embroidered with amber thread, she said her heart's desire was all in the purse." Ding Xuan sighed: "Third sister, take it, and when you go to the Lanling Marquis' residence again, you can see Amber personally."

  Ding Ruo put the candied fruit in her mouth, Ding Xiu was intentional, and the small production of amber was Ding Min's heart knot. Last time Ding Min went to Lanling Houfu with Amber, she must have given her something. She bit open the candied fruit, and the sweet taste filled her mouth. The daughter raised by the big madam looked pure and innocent, but her mind could turn a hundred times.

  Ding Min held the brightly colored handbag, trying to calm herself down. She was not wrong, she was just following orders. Amber was not her fault. Who let Amber seduce Langling Hou when Ding Yi was pregnant and got pregnant? If Amber didn't betray Ding Yi, she wouldn't have ended up like this either.

  Outside the house, footsteps sounded, and the moon was full of joy. "Congratulations to the young lady, the old master has just returned to the mansion, I heard that the old master was appointed by the emperor as the deputy examiner of this year's imperial examination, and the first wife rewarded all the servants in the mansion."

  Ding Ju's face was radiant with joy, but Ding Rou saw Ding Min's body swaying and looked shocked, as if something extremely frightening had happened. Ding Rou approached her and heard her muttering to herself, "Deputy examiner? How could it be? This is not a joyful event, it's an omen of death."
