Zheng Yunwan pursed her lips and remained silent.

When she gave Xiao Yunying the newly made undergarment, the other party didn't shy away from taking off her clothes right in front of her and tried it on while wearing only a bodice.

Although she turned her back shyly at that time, she still blushed and peeked a few times, and saw the birthmark and scar on Xiao Yunying's left shoulder.

She recognized the character "Yun" on it, but having characters tattooed on one's body was a disgrace. Only slaves who did hard labor or servants who made mistakes would have their characters tattooed on their bodies by their masters. It was a disgrace, so she didn't ask and pretended not to see it.

Why did the Minister's wife know that Yunying had a birthmark and an inscription on her body? And why did the godmother get so excited when the other party mentioned it?

Mu Lianrong seemed to realize that her reaction was too intense, and softened her voice, saying, "When I was pregnant with Yunying, I went to the river to wash clothes and accidentally fell, which caused Yunying to be born prematurely. This is something that the whole village knows. Your third grandmother personally delivered the baby for me. This matter cannot be faked."

I don't know why that high-ranking official's wife said that, but you can't believe her. Everything she says is nonsense, understand?

Zheng Yunwan nodded: "No matter what her intentions are, she is not a good person because she allowed Zuo Lanzhi to torture Sister Yunying like this. I will not believe her."

Hearing Zheng Yunwan's agreement, Mu Lianrong seemed to gain some confidence and muttered to herself, "You're right, she won't treat Yunying well..."

Seeing that Xiao Yunying's cheeks were flushed from the fever, Zheng Yunwan went to fetch a basin of water and said, "Godmother, let me wipe Yunying's face."

Mu Lianrong got up and took a cloth: "I'll do it."

Zheng Yunwan placed the basin of water on a stool beside her: "Then I'll go and brew the medicine that Young Master Luo brought back yesterday. It seems to be for reducing fever. I'll wait for the doctor to come and see if I can give it directly to Sister Yunying."

"Go."

Mu Lianrong wrung out a cloth and wiped the sweat from Xiao Yunying's forehead.

She tucked the sweat-dampened strands of her hair behind her ear and murmured softly, "I didn't expect her to find us again, Yunyun. If I don't let you acknowledge her, will you blame your mother...?"
