After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

When Yan Ling arrived at Song Shoutang, the room was quiet.

Madam Zhu wore a navy blue coat with a stand-up collar and leaned against the bed with a solemn expression. Yan Ling bowed and before she could speak, she waved her hand and said, "Don't say anything. What did the Marquis call you to do?"

Yan Ling bowed and said, "The Marquis ordered me to invite Miss Yao over."

Madam Zhu placed the hand warmer in her arms on the table and said in a deep voice, "Where is Chongyan? Why don't you come and talk yourself?"

Yan Ling clasped his hands together and said, "The Marquis is at Miss Ning's place. She is still asleep. Please go over and have a chat, Miss Yao."

Madam Zhu stood up, and Xiu Yu came up to help her. She walked to Yan Ling step by step and looked him up and down: "You were raised by the Marquis. Now that you have made a name for yourself, you should not forget your family background."

Yan Ling kowtowed and said, "My Lord, I will never forget your kindness."

Madam Zhu said slowly, "You were born in our family, so you should remember the grace of the Marquis's Mansion. The Marquis may be confused for a while, and you who are close to him should give him some advice. You should also remember who your real master is."

"If you hinder those who are close for the sake of those who are far away, or if you separate relatives for the sake of those who are distant, then that is the fault of those under you."

Yan Ling's eyebrows turned cold, and he lowered his head: "Thank you for your teachings, old lady. Yan Ling will remember it in his heart."

Xiu Yu stepped forward and tied a red-gold cape on her. Madam Zhu looked back at Yan Ling and softened her voice: "Lead the way. I'll go see how Miss Ning is doing."

----

In the Guiyi Hall.

Shen Ruyao sat absent-mindedly on the couch by the window, her fingers twisted unconsciously together, and she turned her head to look out the window from time to time.

Luo Miaoyun came in from outside through the curtains and saw her daughter fidgeting. She took off her cloak and threw it to Bai Juan who was standing beside her: "Are you scared now?"

When Shen Ruyao saw her mother, she felt like she had found her backbone. She immediately twisted up and rubbed against her mother: "Mom..."

Luo Miaoyun stretched out her red-haired finger and tapped Yao'er's forehead: "You are so timid, what can you accomplish? Mother has already gone to see your grandmother. Feicui said that Xiuyu had accompanied the old lady to the Marquis half a quarter of an hour ago."

Shen Ruyao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With her grandmother stepping forward, her father would definitely not teach her a lesson again.

She leaned back on the kang covered with red felt and grey fox fur, and regained her composure. "How can you blame me? Mother didn't see it. That girl is really useless. I just dragged her to run a few steps, and she looked like she was out of breath. It really scared me to death."

She stroked her chest, still feeling a little nervous when she thought of that scene.

Luo Miaoyun scolded her daughter: "You knew that the child was a sickly person, but you still did it yourself, in broad daylight, and made a fool of yourself for no reason!"

Shen Ruyao fiddled with the pearls on her necklace: "She is just a poor woman who came to take advantage of me. She dared not take me seriously. This time she got a good deal."

"You!" Luo Miaoyun picked up the teacup and took a sip. "She doesn't bother you in any way. Even if you are unhappy, you shouldn't be so reckless. Now you are in the wrong and your father is angry."

Speaking of daddy, Shen Ruyao felt a little scared again. She spoke as if to comfort herself: "Cai Tao said that girl was from Jiangdu. Now that grandma has spoken, daddy won't be angry, right?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Miaoyun glanced at her daughter, but ultimately did not tell her that Ning'er's cousin's identity was just a fabrication made up by the old lady. Yao'er was a person who could not keep her composure, and if she knew about it, there would definitely be another disturbance.

When Madam Zhu got off the sedan chair, she saw Liu Ying's small courtyard. She frowned and asked, "You've been staying here all the time, without moving?"

Yan Ling whispered back, "The doctor said to take the medicine and sleep all night. Don't move for now, and try not to be exposed to the wind."

The old lady said, "It's too simple. Let the Marquis stay here to guard it?" Then she walked into the hall.

"Old lady!"

It was Shen Chongyao who first saw the newcomer and hurried over to greet him: "Why is mother here?"

When Zhu saw her second son, she was also quite surprised: "Why is Chongyao here?"

Before Shen Chongyao could reply, Liu Ying explained, "It was the Second Master who saved Miss Ning'er."

In fact, after Shen Chongyan arrived, he could have left, but he had no choice but to leave with the jade box still hanging in his mind. He couldn't feel at ease without any closure, so he shamelessly stayed until now.

He gave Willow Warbler a grateful look.

When I entered the bedroom, Ning'er was leaning against the head of the bed. I don't know what Xin Yuanhou said to her, but a smile appeared in her eyes.

When Shen Chongyan saw his mother coming in, he bowed respectfully and said before Ning'er could speak: "Why bother mother to come here? Ning'er is not convenient to get up and cannot greet you."

The old lady saw this and had no other words to say. Her eldest son, a noble marquis, didn't even wear a crown, but stayed in the boudoir of this foreign girl without any scruples.

She waved her hand: "Why bother with those empty formalities? Taking good care of your body is the most important thing."

Ning Er said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. Ning Er will take good care of herself and not make the elders sad."

Old Madam Zhu was surprised to hear Ning'er say this. She looked at her in surprise, but saw that her cheeks were pale and her already snow-white face looked even weaker.

She felt a little depressed. It had been more than half a day since the incident, and Ning was still so sick and tired. She might not be as sick as she had thought before.

Before she could say anything, she saw her eldest son leaning over to tuck in Ning'er's quilt and said to his mother, "Ning'er just took the medicine, so you need to rest. I'll help you sit in the hall."

The old lady had no choice but to let him go, leaving Chuncao alone to look after Ning'er.

After closing the door, the Marquis called Yan Ling: "Where is the person I asked you to lead?"

Yan Ling knelt upright in the corridor: "I am incompetent, please punish me, my lord."

Xin Yuanhou repeated coldly: "Yan Ling, go and bring Shen Ruyao over."

Yan Ling bowed his head, turned around and walked towards Guiyi Hall.

"Stop!" Old Madam Zhu couldn't help but be furious: "How could you let a servant offend Yao'er?"

Shen Chongyan said calmly: "Yan Ling escaped from slavery at the age of seven and joined the army. He is no longer a servant of the Marquis' Mansion."

Mrs. Zhu stood up and said angrily, "Yao'er is just a child. Even if she is wrong, just talk to her slowly. Let this kid go, and who knows what he will scare people into!"

Shen Chongyan glanced at Xiu Yu, who hurried over to help the old lady sit down and poured more tea. Old Lady Zhu barely suppressed her anger.

Shen Chongyan then sat down and said, "If a five- or six-year-old does something wrong, he can be considered a child. But now she is twelve years old. Doesn't she know the severity of the situation?"

The old lady was speechless for a moment, and finally said, "Yao'er is your biological daughter, the daughter of the Marquis's mansion! No matter what, you must save her face in front of the servants. If you act like this, how can she have dignity in front of the servants in the future?"

"She is already dignified enough, so she could take away all the maids in front of her uncle without saying a word when Ning'er's life or death was uncertain! She could make a mistake without even showing her face with just one word."

Shen Chongyan said word by word: "It is precisely because she is the daughter of a marquis's mansion and Ning'er is just an orphan that I have to protect her even more."

A flash of sadness flashed across his face.

Old Madam Zhu looked at her son in a daze. She had never seen him like this in the past thirty years!

An incredible thought came to her mind, and she asked with some difficulty:

"Tell me, mother, are you interested in Ning'er?"

With a "clang" sound!

Hearing this, Shen Chongyao, who was hiding in the corner, knocked over his teacup. He was horrified and said:

"what?!"
