MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 2 2. Dressing change

　　When mentioning the wife she had taken care of since childhood, Mama Bai’s originally happy face drooped, losing her former spirit.

After the death of his mother in the previous life, the loyal protector Bai Mama also slipped and fell into the water and died. It was originally thought to be an accident, but now it seems that Bai Mama discovered the traces of the inner ghost and was silenced instead.

Thinking of this, Feng Jinyao looked at her gray hair on her temples and felt a surge of emotion in her heart.

 Loyal Mama Bai will never let you die in vain again!

"Ahem, I don't know why. Doctor Wang's medicine has never stopped, but the cough is not getting better. The old slave is very worried. My wife can't eat well and sleep well, and she has lost a lot of weight."

While talking, he opened the curtain for Feng Jinyao.

 The main room of Yunhaiyuan was warmed by the earth dragon's heat. Everyone brought in the chill from outside, but it disappeared in the warmth after a while.

Mrs. Feng was lying on the bed at the moment, her face was pale and her cheeks were flushed. It was obvious that she had been ill for a long time.

Mrs. Feng didn't have much strength at first, but when she saw her daughter coming to greet her, she stood up and sat up, and her eyes became a little kinder.

“Why are you here in the cold weather? Are you not afraid of being frozen?”

 “I miss my mother a lot, so I came here to take a look. Is my mother feeling better?”

 Cough cough, cough cough.

Mrs. Feng coughed again and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, fearing that her cough would be transmitted to her daughter, which would be bad.

 After finally stopping, Mama Bai on the side quickly brought a cup of warm water and put on a clean handkerchief.

"Hey, I've been drinking bitter medicine, but I can't stop this cough. I don't even want to eat for the past two days. Tomorrow is my mother's birthday. I won't bother her with my sick look. You Come over early with a gift to see if there is anything you can do to help? And your second brother, who has been missing all day, please behave yourself, otherwise my father will cause trouble for him again. "

Although Mrs. Feng is ill, she never misses her children.

This cough only occurred after winter. It was not a big deal at first. I just drank chrysanthemum water for a few days to suppress it, but it became more and more serious.

 There was another child in the eldest brother's room, and the mother was afraid that he would be sick, so she ordered the eldest brother not to visit him.

Feng Jinyao reached out to touch her mother's forehead, but she didn't have a fever. Unfortunately, these words made her cough again.

 Feng Jinyao felt a sore nose when she saw her mother coughing badly but still trying to suppress it so as not to worry her.

　　The inner clothes that used to fit well now seemed empty, and even the watery arms had become a lot dryer, and the veins on the backs of the hands were ugly.

Recalling that her mother in her previous life was speechless before she left, Feng Jinyao couldn't hold back anymore as she just looked at her crying.

With a slight cry, she threw herself into her mother's arms. If Mama Bai hadn't been holding her up behind her, she might have knocked Mrs. Feng down at this moment.

Mrs. Feng felt sorry for her daughter. After all, she was still a child who had not yet grown up. She was worried after she had been ill for several months, so she patted her back again and again, just like how she would coax her to sleep when she was a child.

"Okay, I just coughed a few more times. I guess it's because it's too cold, so I don't have any energy and don't want to eat. It'll be fine after winter. The sun is warm in spring. The peach blossom wine you brewed , Mom is still craving for the peach blossom cake you made."

With a squeak, Feng Jinyao was amused by her mother's naughty words.

Such laughter and laughter finally came back, and I swore in my heart that I would protect my mother in this life, never let anyone in the Feng family die in vain in a foreign land, and never let a bit of sewage be poured on the lintel of the Feng family!

Even if the people behind her are powerful and the road ahead is bumpy and difficult, she will never compromise.

 The reputation of a noble lady from a noble family in Dongdu is not as good as her family's living a good life in her eyes at the moment.

If someone must use dirty tricks to destroy kindness, then let her do it. No matter how bad the tricks are, she will not be afraid, just protect them for the rest of their lives!

Mother Bai neatly took a large brocaded cloak and put it on Mrs. Feng, then helped her walk to the table. On the Eight Immortals' table, the maids served breakfast.

 A plate of thin-skinned spring rolls, a plate of white jade dumplings, two bowls of light millet porridge, and Feng Jinyao’s favorite milk glutinous rice cake. The aroma is fragrant.

　　Breakfast, which used to be so uncomfortable in the past, seemed a bit more refreshing in the company of my daughter.

After eating less than half a bowl of porridge and a few spring rolls, Mrs. Feng couldn't eat anymore. After taking the handkerchief and wiping the corners of her mouth, she heard someone behind her lift the curtain and enter, holding a bowl of hot rice. Feng Jinyao's heart skipped a beat as she drank the decoction.

Although he still had a smile on his face, his heart was as cold as ice.

"Madam, the medicine is ready. Drink it while it's hot." Amber handed the medicine over.

Mrs. Feng found that the medicine was too bitter to swallow after drinking it for a long time. Moreover, for some reason, her throat always felt uncomfortable every time she drank the medicine, which would trigger a huge cough.

 She didn’t want to do this in front of her daughter, so she waved her hand and said to Amber.

"I just finished eating. It's not good to take medicine now. Besides, the medicine is too hot. Let it cool down for a while before drinking it."

Feng Jinyao looked at the Amber with cold eyes and wanted to say a few more words, when she heard the sound of clouds coming from outside.

"Miss, you sent your slave to buy the hair oil. Do you want the jasmine scented one?"

 “Come in quickly.”

"yes."

Yunxu, the maid, has been with Feng Jinyao for many years. Since she knew that the medicine was bought quietly, she naturally didn't want others to know about it, so she made up a lie at will.

Feng Jinyao had a smile on her lips. This girl has learned to be smart.

"My mother has been ill at home for a long time. I heard that Xunmengfang in the south of the city has produced several new hair oils. They are very comfortable to use and have a light and elegant smell, so I asked Yunxu to buy them. My daughter will use this for my grandmother's birthday tomorrow. How are you?"

"well."

“Then please ask Mama Bai to bring someone to fetch water. I see that my mother is in good spirits, so I’ll try this oil on her too.”

"The eldest lady understands, Madam. She has been saying that her hair is a little tangled these days."

After that, she led the maids in the house down with a bright smile. Amber wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Mama Bai on the side, who ordered her to go to the small kitchen to see if there was hot water and bring some. come over.

Before leaving, Yunxu took a deep look at the oil box, and then followed behind Mama Bai.

Feng Jinyao secretly admired her. After all, she was from the Bai family, and she could even understand her master's intentions so quickly. Fortunately, Bai's mother had shown her loyalty in her previous life, otherwise Feng Jinyao would have been the first person to suspect her!

 After waiting for everyone to leave, Feng Jinyao put away her joking expression and spoke to Mrs. Feng in a serious tone.

"Mom, please don't drink that medicine again. I suspected that someone added something that shouldn't be added to your medicine, so I quietly asked Yunxu to go to Ren's house in the south of the city. His family's cough medicine is the most famous. Yes, you might as well give it a try."

Mrs. Feng is doubtful. The girls and women around her have been with her for decades. It is hard for her to believe that there is a mole among them.

 After a moment, she asked in a low voice, "Do you doubt Amber?"
