Cui'er's behavior finally gave Ke'er a glimmer of hope. She looked at Cui'er with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, Cui Er. I really don't know what I would do without you."

"Don't talk so much, just go and boil the medicine!" Cui'er comforted Ke'er.

Ke'er wiped her tears and quickly took the packet of medicine to boil it. After Ke'er left, Cui'er took her place and stayed by Ke'er's mother's side to see if she needed anything.

Fortunately, there is someone to lend a hand.

Ke'er was carefully decocting medicine in the kitchen. The firelight illuminated her tear-stained face. Her heart was filled with worry for her mother and gratitude towards Cui'er.

Every time the medicine rolled, it seemed as if the expectations in her heart were surging.

She and Cui'er were originally with Lu's mother, but because Xiaoying left with Miss Lu Zhiran, there was no one in charge of Lu Nianyao, so Lu's mother arranged for Ke'er to be with Lu Nianyao.

After coming to Lu Nianyao, Ke'er felt that every minute and every second was like living in hell.

Mother Lu doesn't have a very good temper, but she is very generous when it comes to money, and she won't slap people like Lu Nianyao does.

Now, Lu Nianyao knew that her mother was seriously ill, but she still withheld her money, even though she had done nothing to do anything.

Ke'er felt so angry.

Why do these masters not take the lives of their servants seriously?

Finally, the medicine was ready.

Ke'er hurriedly picked up the medicine bowl and walked quickly back to her mother's room. Cui'er was guarding her mother's bedside, comforting her softly.

Seeing Ke'er coming back, Cui'er breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to let Ke'er feed the medicine to her mother.

Ke'er carefully helped her mother up and brought the bowl of medicine to her mouth.

Although the mother was weak, she still tried hard to drink the medicine when she saw Ke'er's concerned look.

After drinking the medicine, Ke'er's mother seemed to feel better. She gently stroked Ke'er's cheek, her eyes full of love.

"Ke'er, don't worry, Mom will be fine."

Although Ke'er's mother's voice was weak, it was full of determination.

Ke'er nodded, tears welling up in her eyes again.

She knew that her mother was comforting her and didn't want her to worry too much. She couldn't let her mother down and had to be strong and find a solution.

When Cui'er saw this scene, she couldn't help feeling sad.

She understood how difficult Ke'er's situation was, but she also believed that as long as Ke'er and her mother worked together, they would be able to overcome this difficulty.

There was no one around Lu Nian Yao now, only Ke'er, a servant. Ke'er had only asked for half a day's leave from her, so she had to rush back as soon as possible.

"Cui'er, I'd like to trouble you to take care of my mother during the days I'm away."

"What are you talking about? We don't have to be so polite to each other. Your mother is my mother."

Cui'er was very generous, but she felt a little worried after she finished speaking.

"This little bit of medicine won't last that long. It will be used up in two or three times at most. I still need money as soon as possible."

A trace of sadness flashed in Ke'er's eyes.

"I will try to please the young lady as soon as possible and ask her to give me the money."

"Well, this is the only way for now. Fortunately, Aunt Xiang went to her hometown during this period, and Madam Lu was in a good mood and turned a blind eye to everything. That's why I have the opportunity to come out and take care of your mother."

"Yes! Fortunately."

At this moment, Ke'er could no longer hear what Cui'er said, and just mechanically repeated what Cui'er said.

She was completely focused on how to get Lu Nian Yao to give her money.

"Cui'er, I have to go back first, otherwise the young lady will be angry again."

After saying that, Ke'er stood up and left the room.

She knew that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to find Lu Nianyao and save her mother's life no matter what the cost.

It was almost afternoon when Ke'er returned to the Mu family.

She came to Lu Nianyao's room, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Ke'er slowly opened the door. Lu Nianyao was fiddling with needle and thread in her hands. She turned around and saw Ke'er standing outside the door.

This sad face looks like someone has died in the family.

Lu Nianyao suddenly felt very unlucky. She frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing? You have a stinky face. If you smile, it will bring bad luck."

Ke'er adjusted her facial expression to make herself look less depressed before walking in.

After Ke’er came in, she looked directly into Lu Nianyao’s eyes and said, “Miss, I know you won’t change your decision easily.”

"But I am willing to use my own way to exchange for my mother's life-saving money. As long as you can give me this month's money, I am willing to do anything for you."

Hearing this, Lu Nianyao's eyes flashed with interest: "Oh? Are you willing to do anything for me?"

Ke'er gritted her teeth and responded very solemnly.

"Yes."

"What if I ask you to deal with Li Lian?"

At that time, the cause of the incident was that Ke'er did not protect her in time, which led to Lu Nianyao's anger.

Now Lu Nianyao asked Ke'er the same question again.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for you, young lady. I will do anything for you."

Lu Nianyao sneered, "You are very good to have such awareness. Li Lian has been coming here too frequently these past two days. I don't like it. I hope you can understand what I mean."

Ke'er's hands trembled. How could she not understand what Lu Nianyao meant? Li Lian had been provoking her in various ways over the past two days, which had completely irritated Lu Nianyao.

But Mu Qi Zong ignored her, which made Lu Nian Yao lose all her patience.

Ke'er took a deep breath.

"Ke'er understands."

"I'll give you one afternoon to do it. Do it! Don't let anyone suspect you."

Ke'er felt uneasy, but she thought of her mother at home.

I could only nod reluctantly.

"Yes."

"Go ahead!" Because of Ke'er's tactfulness, Lu Nianyao's attitude towards her improved a little.

……

In the afternoon, something happened to Li Lian.

On her way to the Mu family, she was pushed into the lake. When she was fished out, she was breathing more in than out.

Li Jia is the village chief of this village. The village chief was furious and vowed to find out who harmed his daughter.

After Mu Qizon knew the news.

He asked for leave from his teacher and came to Li's house to accompany Li Lian.

"How dare you come? My daughter got into trouble just because she came to find you."

Father Li was very angry. Looking at Mu Qizon's appearance, he wished he could eat him alive.

My daughter cares so much about this boy!

Even though he is weak, he rushes to other people's homes every day.

But Mu Qizon, who is always greedy, has a wife but still keeps his eyes on their daughter.

Father Li's anger was like a blazing fire, almost devouring Mu Qizong. He widened his eyes, filled with hatred and dissatisfaction towards Mu Qizong.

"Mu Qi Zong, what on earth are you thinking, boy? If you don't have that intention towards my daughter, don't come again and don't give her any wishful thinking."

Father Li's voice was filled with grief and indignation, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction.

"If you two really like each other, after you pass the imperial examination, you can divorce your wife and marry my daughter..."
