"What's the matter?" Zhou Zhen asked curiously. Since the little girl saved her son, she naturally had a good impression of her, so she would naturally help if she could.

"I don't want to see the old lady as a doctor. I want to stay by her side and observe her for a few days."

There are limits to what a doctor can observe in daily life. Yu Jiahe suspected that the old lady might have a mental illness, otherwise her condition wouldn't have recurred so often. There are people who are not afraid of the sun, but why would someone become afraid of the sun after falling into the water?

To untie her knot, you need to understand her heart, and you can only understand her better by being with her.

Zhou Zhen thought for a moment, "If you stay with my mother, you can only be a maid. My mother has a strange temper, please be tolerant of her."

Yu Jiahe changed into a maid's outfit and was taken there by Zhou Zhen. "Changshouju is my mother's yard. Granny Sun will lead you there, but I can only stay here for three days. After three days, I will go home."

In other words, Yu Jiahe only has three days to check the cause of the old lady's illness. If she fails to find out, there will be no one to guarantee her after Zhou Zhen leaves, and she may be left here as a maid.

The doors and windows of Changshouju were tightly closed, and I could smell the smell of burning paper before I even entered the yard.

When I entered the room, the smell of burning sandalwood filled the air.

An old lady in white clothes with her hair loose kneeled in front of the Buddha, constantly beating the wooden fish. There were no doors or windows for ventilation. It was dark and depressing inside.

"Mother, I came to see you. Didn't you say that your legs and feet were cold? I brought a maid with me and asked her to massage your legs."

The sound of the wooden fish stopped, and the old lady turned around. She looked not very old and said, "You are thoughtful."

"As long as my mother is healthy, these things are insignificant."

Zhou Zhen chatted with the old lady for a long time, and only left when someone came to serve her food. The old lady did not keep her for dinner.

There were four dishes on the table. The old lady was sitting on one side, and two bowls of rice were placed on the table. The old lady ate one portion herself. There was no one sitting on the other side, but she kept picking up dishes.

"Rong'er, eat quickly. Don't you love braised fish the most? You also like this sweet and sour spare ribs. Eat more." The old lady kept nagging.

The people below seemed to have gotten used to it and stood aside watching silently.

Yu Jiahe also put away her strange expression and pretended that everything was normal.

After the old lady finished her meal, the food was put away and she returned to the Bodhisattva to beat the wooden fish.

"Our old lady doesn't like to eat alone. I'm sorry to bother you."

Yu Jiahe was startled by the sudden voice behind her, and when she turned around, she saw an old lady with a head full of white hair.

"I'm Granny Sun, responsible for taking care of the old lady. If you need anything, you can come to me."

This must be Grandma Sun. How come she appears out of nowhere? After calming down, Yu Jiahe politely greeted her.

"I'll show you where you live first, and then I'll give the old lady a massage later."

Yu Jiahe followed her out. The servants lived in a wing room not far away. Two maids shared a room, and there was already someone living in that room.

"This is the new Xiaohe, brought by the second young lady. She is the one who gives massage to the old lady. Please take care of her." Granny Sun said to another person, then looked at Yu Jiahe, "This is Rui'er, who is responsible for making medicine for the old lady. You two should get along well in the future."

Rui'er had very pale skin and looked bloodless. She nodded to Yu Jiahe as a greeting.

Granny Cai asked Yu Jiahe to come find her half an hour later, and then left.

There are two beds in the room, and there is a cabinet next to each bed to store your things.

Rui'er stayed quietly on her bed, flipping through a book in her hands.

The sky gradually darkened, and Yu Jiahe estimated that it was about time, so she went to look for Grandma Sun.

Fortunately, I had experience in giving my father massages, so a leg massage was no problem. After a while, I heard snoring sounds coming from the bed.

Granny Sun covered the old lady with a blanket and left with Yu Jiahe. "You did a good job. The old lady hasn't had a good sleep since she got sick. You should go and rest, but don't run around. I'll send someone to find you when the old lady needs you. Remember, you can't walk around at night, or you'll be sold out if you're caught."

Yu Jiahe responded and stepped back.

After dinner, I returned to the room and Ruier was already asleep.

She washed up quietly and lay down on the bed.

This bed is so soft.

Before she knew it, Yu Jiahe fell into a deep sleep.

"Xiao He, Xiao He!" Rui Er called softly, and it took a long time to wake her up. "Grandma Sun is looking for you, go and see what's going on."

Yu Jiahe felt a little headache, but she didn't expect that she would sleep until dawn.

She must have been drugged last night, Yu Jiahe thought to herself. There was no way she could sleep so soundly.

Who was the person who drugged her, Granny Sun, Rui'er, or someone else?

"She's back, she really came back to find me, my poor Rong'er." Yu Jiahe heard the old lady's voice as soon as she entered the room.

"Madam, the eldest lady has passed away. You don't have to worry so much, otherwise she will be restless." Granny Sun comforted her and when she saw Yu Jiahe come in, she waved to her to come over.

"Greetings, old lady." Yu Jiahe bowed.

"You can massage feet, but can you massage head?" asked Grandma Sun.

"Know a little bit."

"Then come and give the old lady a massage."

Neither Granny Sun nor the old lady continued the previous topic, and Granny Sun stepped back.

While pressing the button, Yu Jiahe was thinking about who Rong'er was in their conversation. She seemed to be a very important person.

The old lady fell asleep again without her noticing. After making sure that she was sound asleep, Yu Jiahe left the room. At the corner, she saw Grandma Sun burning paper.

"Miss, the old lady didn't do it on purpose. She didn't expect things to turn out like this. If you are still alive, please let her go. Come at me. It was me who did it. The old lady had no choice."

After eavesdropping, Yu Jiahe quickly left the place and returned to her room.

Rui'er was not in the room, so I couldn't ask her.

Yu Jiahe turned around and went to find Zhou Zhen.

"Rong'er?" Zhou Zhen looked a little strange when she heard the name, and then said, "Rong'er is my sister. She died when she was ten years old. Now it has been almost twenty years, and I don't have a very deep impression of her. Although we were born of the same mother, our relationship was not very good."

"Then how did she die?" Yu Jiahe asked.

"She accidentally fell into the lotus pond while playing. There was no one around at the time, and it was too late when she was discovered."

At this point Zhou Zhen sighed, "How could something that happened 20 years ago be related to my mother's current illness?"
