After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death
Chapter 189 A loving father and a filial son
Lingzhi was holding a delicate basket. A puppy, as fluffy as a ball of wool, was struggling to pull at the edge of the cushion while making whining sounds.
Ning'er didn't even bother to put on her coat, and hurriedly held the puppy in her arms, and asked happily, "Why did you bring it here?"
Chuncao and Zishan smiled at each other, and Lingzhi explained, "This little fellow has had enough milk, but he just won't be at peace. I guess he's thinking about the girl!"
Ning Er smiled and said, "What does it know? You are just trying to make me happy."
Chuncao took the opportunity to persuade her, "Don't worry, young lady. The old lady and the madam are all with the marquis now, and I don't think they will leave for a while. Just rest assured."
Ning'er walked back and forth twice with the plum in her arms, and then carefully put it back into the basket. She exclaimed, "Why did you wait until this hour? Isn't it time for the Marquis to change the medicine?"
Chuncao held a golden wash basin with two lotus petals and helped Ning'er wash her hands. She said with a smile, "When I went to the old lady to report, Sister Feicui said a few more words to me. She cried yesterday because of Miss Yao and insisted on seeing her father when the marquis was awake. The old lady summoned two imperial doctors to ask questions in detail early in the morning. After getting permission, we decided to go to visit together at this time."
Ning'er raised her chin slightly and let Zishan help her button up her collar. Thinking of what happened yesterday, the smile on her face faded a little: "If you put it this way, it's a scene of loving father and filial son, and harmonious relationship between wife and concubine. I guess the Marquis has recovered well today?"
Chuncao smiled and said, "If Doctor Xue can be so relieved and have so many people visit him, it should be fine." Then she glanced at the puppy spinning around in the basket and said, "It's just that Master Ying is nowhere to be seen."
Ning Er turned her face to the side, and the white jade earrings under her ears swayed and gently fell on her snow-white cheeks: "Master Ying is not here? At this time, where else can he go if he doesn't go with you to visit the Marquis?"
Chuncao shook her head and said, "I can't guess. But Master Ying has already entered school, and I heard that his schoolwork is heavy. It's possible that he is hiding in the study room to study hard now."
Ning Er whispered, "Forget it, let's not care what he does. Zishan, help me change into the clothes to meet the guests. Since the old lady and the others are all at the Marquis's, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb. Anyway, since we are close, I might as well go over and take a look."
All the servants serving Shen Chongyan knew Ning'er. When they saw her coming from afar, they all bowed to her, and Ning'er responded with a smile.
Seeing several unfamiliar faces standing in the corridor of the courtyard today, she couldn't help but take a few more glances. The little maidservant in front of her was very perceptive and explained: "They are all here to serve the old lady of the Luo family. Because they are strangers and have never celebrated their birthdays, they are afraid of offending the marquis. The old lady asked them to wait outside the door."
Ning'er said softly, "We should be more cautious. Are the old lady and the others in there?"
The maidservant knew everything and said everything at once: "Yes, the old lady of our mansion, the old lady of the Luo family, Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Xiang, and concubines Ye and Song, as well as the eldest lady, are all here. Sister Xiangming brought people to serve them."
Ning Er listened and understood: "Master Ying hasn't come yet? Where is the Second Master?"
The girl said, "The second master went to the government office today. He came here before dawn and left the house in a hurry. Master Ying didn't see him."
Ning'er nodded, and Chuncao quickly took out a handful of silver ingots from her purse to reward her, while she stayed outside and waited.
The maidservant received the reward and led Ning'er inside even more attentively and attentively. After walking a few steps, Ning'er smelled a scent of pollen coming towards her, which overshadowed the usual slightly bitter fragrance of medicinal herbs.
As she entered the Moon Gate, she heard Aunt Song's gentle voice: "...Now, apart from the decoctions, you can only take some liquid food. The imperial physician has made a detailed list of what to take every day, and what the amount is, all written down clearly. I and others just need to do as instructed..."
Ning'er stopped and listened quietly for a moment. After she finished speaking, she quietly walked into the inner room and bowed to the old lady.
Old Madam Zhu's eyes were full of her pale and weak son lying on the sickbed. When she saw her coming, she didn't say anything, but just waved her hand for her to get up.
Ning'er stood quietly outside the crowd, and glanced at the Marquis through the gap. His complexion was much better than yesterday, but there were deep wrinkles between his brows, and he seemed to be in a rather unhappy mood.
The person closest to him was Shen Ruyao. She half sat on the couch in front of Shen Chongyan, half bent forward, looking at her father with tears in her eyes: "Dad, are you feeling better?"
There was a hint of fatigue and alienation on Shen Chongyan's face. He was about to speak, but as if by telepathy, he raised his eyes and met Ning'er's eyes who was looking up at him.
His eyes lit up slightly, but he replied softly to Shen Ruyao: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Mrs. Luo stood sideways behind Shen Ruyao. From Ning'er's angle, she could only barely see half of her face. Behind her stood two concubines, respectfully serving her.
She asked her daughter softly, "After talking to Daddy, are you feeling relieved now?" She turned to her mother-in-law and smiled, "She refused to sleep last night and kept shouting that she wanted to come visit her father."
Old Madam Zhu was both sad and relieved, and she said with emotion: "It's worth loving her all the time. This child is the most filial."
Madam Xiang said at the right time: "As the old saying goes, the pain of a son is felt by his mother, and the father and daughter are connected by heart. This is what the old lady and the eldest daughter are talking about."
Everyone was flattered and smiled. Ning'er looked at the happy scene in front of her and subconsciously raised her eyes to follow Ye Zhen's expression.
Sensing her gaze, the gentle and beautiful Madam Ye raised her head and smiled at Ning'er. Her face was pale, and there were dark circles under her eyes that could not be covered by makeup, which were obviously the signs of not getting enough sleep at night.
That smile was extremely charming, but in Ning'er's eyes, she inexplicably saw a hint of sharp ridicule.
She felt a chill in her heart: Was she trying to please her or was she demonstrating against her?
Tell her that she already knows the secret, or to go further, she already knows that she knows it...so when she looks at this happy family scene in front of her, she finds it particularly ironic?
Ning'er suddenly felt a movement behind her. Someone gently hooked her sleeve. She calmly took two steps back and retreated quietly.
As soon as the door closed, the man jumped in front of Ning'er. She whispered, "Sister Liu?"
Liu Ying's pretty face showed a rare hint of impatience. She pouted and said sarcastically, "It's hard to squeeze so many people into the room."
Ning Er saw that she was being disrespectful, so she took her arm and walked two steps outside, asking, "Why are you here at this time?"
Liu Ying smiled and said, "Do you think I'm eager to come? It's that Shen Chongyao who came to disturb my sweet dreams at dawn and used me as a mouthpiece! He told me to wait until the girl wakes up and tell you."
As they walked away from the crowd, she leaned over to Ning'er's ear and whispered, "He has done everything you asked. After the court session ends today, he will find a chance to meet with Lord Lu. Please rest assured, young lady."
As Ning'er listened, her brows gradually relaxed a little. When she was about to speak, she suddenly felt something strange. She looked up suddenly, but saw Shen Chengying, dressed in a turquoise robe, staring at her quietly only five steps away.
