"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Faint crying sounds came from a corner of the marquis's garden.

"Lian'er, don't move yet." Cuiyu held the plaster and said, "Apply it to the back of your neck as well."

Lian'er held back her tears, her eyes filled with tears, and she sobbed silently.

Seeing that she even had marks on her neck, Cuiyu suggested, "If Aunt Tong hits you, go find the young mistress and let her make the decision for you."

"No." Lian'er shook her head quickly and immediately stopped moving. "If Aunt Tong knew that I went to see the young mistress, I would be even more miserable."

Cuiyu applied medicine on her, and when she was wiping her hands with a handkerchief, Lian'er started crying again.

"Aunt Tong was transferred to Yuzhu Courtyard. She is in a bad mood every day and takes out all her anger on me."

"The servants in the mansion are all flattering and flattering. Seeing that Concubine Tang is favored, they all try to curry favor with her. Concubine Tong's food and expenses are much worse. Concubine Tang likes to show off and always brags about how favored she is in front of other concubines, which makes Concubine Tong even more angry."

Lian'er's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked pitiful.

"Cui Yu, don't be fooled by Aunt Tong's good temper. She is actually very narrow-minded. When she was a maid, I just had a few arguments with her. After she became an aunt, she called me over to serve her. Whenever she was unhappy, she would pinch me and not let me eat."

"She's in a bad mood, be smart and stay away." Cuiyu put the medicine bottle in Lian'er's hand, "Take it and apply it again before going to bed at night. This ointment was given by the young lady, it's very effective."

Lian Er's eyes were filled with envy, "Cui Yu, I really envy you for being able to follow the young mistress, unlike me..."

Then she continued crying.

Cuiyu gave her some advice, "I will go back and tell the Madam later. She will definitely give justice to Aunt Tong. Then you can say this..."

"Cui Yu, thank you." After hearing this, Lian'er thanked her with tears in her eyes.

Sure enough, the lunch delivered to Yuzhuyuan by the kitchen the next day was much better, and it was delivered personally by the kitchen manager.

The steward kept apologizing to Aunt Tong, saying that the poor food a few days ago was due to the clumsiness of the newly arrived servants, and he had already driven the servants away.

Aunt Tong didn't believe it, but she knew the rules of survival in the mansion very well and didn't ask any further questions.

Before leaving, the steward asked Aunt Tong to say a few good words to the young mistress to avoid them being punished.

Only then did Aunt Tong realize that their sudden change in attitude was because of Li Jingwan.

But why would Li Jingwan help me?

Lian'er peeked at her from the side and saw Aunt Tong looking puzzled. She remembered Cuiyu's instructions and mustered up the courage to step forward.

"Aunt Tong, I know...I know the reason."

"What do you know?" Aunt Tong gave her a glare, but still let her continue.

"I have seen my aunt being bullied these past few days and I feel sad. Yesterday, I was crying in the garden and Cuiyu saw me. She asked me why."

"I felt aggrieved for Auntie, so I told Cuiyu. Cuiyu was also very angry and said she would report it to the Madam."

"So I think it was the young mistress who stood up for Auntie and reprimanded these snobbish servants."

After hearing what she said, Aunt Tong's expression improved a lot, "You are still a loyal protector of your master."

Lian Er knelt down and said, "I have not been educated, but I have heard the saying 'When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer'. Auntie is my master, and I will only be well if you are well."

Aunt Tong gritted her teeth.

Doesn't she understand?

That's why she tried to please Madam Qin in every way and acted as her spy in the backyard, monitoring everyone else's every move.

But Old Madam Qin did not stop Tang Qiaoyin from taking her yard, nor did she care about what happened to her.

Instead, it was Li Jingwan who did justice for her.

But Li Jingwan knew that she was Madam Qin's person, and maybe she helped her this time out of sympathy, but what about next time?

Among the four concubines, Tang Qiaoyin was the most favored. Concubine Liang had a child, and Concubine Zhou had also been pregnant, but she was the only one who had no children.

Without children and without love, others dare to mistreat you. How can you survive the endless days in the future?

Thinking of this, Aunt Tong's mood became depressed again. Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, she lost her appetite. After eating a few bites, she went back to her room.

I don't know how long I sat there, but suddenly I heard Lian'er say outside the house, "Aunt, the young mistress is here to see you."

Aunt Tong woke up suddenly, "Hurry up and serve tea to the young mistress, I'll be right there."

She wiped the tears from her face, looked in the mirror, and made sure there was nothing wrong before leaving.

Li Jingwan was sitting at the dining table. When she saw her come out, she asked, "The food is still not good? Did the kitchen staff do something bad again?"

"No, no." Aunt Tong shook her head quickly, "Madam, you spoke for me, they dare not do anything wrong."

"I see the food is barely touched. Do you have no appetite?"

Li Jingwan saw it from her expression and motioned for her to sit down.

"Yuzhu Courtyard is indeed a bit remote and cannot compare to Hexiang Courtyard. I know you are in a bad mood, but there is nothing I can do."

She sighed and said, "Don't take your health too seriously. You still have a long life ahead of you."

Aunt Tong felt heartbroken when she heard this.

At this time, Bi Tao walked in and said, "Miss, Doctor Fang is here and is waiting for you at You Lan Ju."

Li Jingwan suddenly realized, "How could I have forgotten? I asked Doctor Fang to come to my house today to check my pulse."

Just as she was about to stand up, she changed her mind, "Bi Tao, please ask Doctor Fang to come here."

Aunt Tong looked at her in confusion.

Li Jingwan smiled and said, "You know I'm weak, and I've been taking medicine all the time. I haven't stopped taking the tonics that the old lady sent me, but I'm not getting better."

"I heard that Doctor Fang is a famous doctor who is good at regulating qi and blood, so I asked someone to invite him here. You have also been unable to get pregnant, so let him take a look at you as well."

"Thank you, Madam." Aunt Tong said gratefully.

After a while, Bitao came with Doctor Fang.

Doctor Fang is in his fifties or sixties, with silver hair and a white beard, and he looks like he is an excellent doctor.

He first took Li Jingwan's pulse and came to the same conclusion.

"Madam, you have insufficient Qi and blood, and your body is weak and your uterus is cold. You need to continue recuperating. You should not overwork yourself and keep your body and mind comfortable."

"Thank you, Doctor Fang." Li Jingwan said helplessly, "I will do as you say."

Next is Aunt Tong.

She nervously stretched out her right hand and placed it on her pulse.

Doctor Fang placed two fingers on the pulse and listened to the stethoscope with his eyes closed.

After a while, she was asked to switch to her left hand.

Aunt Tong kept looking at his expression, feeling both expectant and nervous.

As soon as Doctor Fang put down his hand, she immediately asked, "Doctor Fang, how am I feeling?"

"How old is this aunt?"

"Twenty-two years old."

"You are so young, it should be no problem for you to get pregnant. But after checking your pulse, I found that you are very weak and cold. Did you have a serious illness in the past, or did you come into contact with something cold and damp recently?"

"No." Aunt Tong said anxiously, "I have always been in good health, and my diet and daily routine are normal."

"That shouldn't be the case." Doctor Fang stroked his beard, "Could there be another reason?"

Aunt Tong was about to continue asking questions when Lian'er came in with medicine, "Aunt, the medicine is ready."

I have to drink a bowl of the tonic given by Old Lady Qin every day.

Lian'er put the still steaming medicine on the table, and the smell of medicine was strong.

When Aunt Tong reached out to take it, Doctor Fang said, "Wait."
