"Madam, there's only one pill left. We'll have to ask the Second Miss to bring some more later. We can't run out..." Qiuyue suddenly stopped mid-sentence, carefully observing Chen's mother's expression.

The lady was in poor health and had been taking expensive medicinal herbs for more than ten years, but her condition had not improved.

However, after the second young lady returned to the mansion, she took charge of the madam's meals, carefully prepared her food, and did everything herself, which gradually improved the madam's health.

The Second Miss's genuine efforts cannot be matched by a few words of concern from the Eldest Miss, yet the Madam and the young masters fail to see it.

Today was supposed to be the day the second young lady delivered the medicine, but judging from her tone just now, it seems she won't be delivering the medicine anymore.

Li Mama supported Chen's mother on the other side, her small, beady eyes flashing, and said in a serious tone, "Madam, you are the second young lady's biological mother. Giving her life is the greatest blessing you can bestow. She should know how to be grateful."

Besides, what daughter would resent her mother? Her behavior is merely an attempt to make you feel guilty and thus generate resentment towards the eldest young lady. You should give the second young lady the cold shoulder and make her realize her place.

"In three days at most, the Second Miss will understand that only your and the Marquis's affection is her sole support in this manor. At that time, she will have to beg you to accept this medicine."

Madam Shen nodded thoughtfully, taking Li Mama's words to heart, "The child I didn't raise has finally drifted away from me."

You're right. Parents are never wrong. All I've done is try to keep the family harmonious. I'm not wrong, and I won't be wrong.

Thinking of Song Zhiyu's meticulous care for her in the past, and her current indifferent attitude, Madam Shen's wavering heart hardened completely. "Zhiyu's temperament needs to be tempered. When she comes to deliver medicine next time, do as you said, Granny. Consider it my last act of kindness as her mother."

"Yes." Granny Li's aged and deeply lined face couldn't hide her pride.

Hearing their conversation, Qiuyue sighed inwardly, staring blankly at the empty medicine bottle in her hand, hoping that the lady would not regret her decision today.
