Jin Zhuangzhuang was very dissatisfied with her brother's reaction. She looked at the empty bowl in Yun Duoduo's hand and licked her lips.

[Waaaaah, my brother only has eyes for Sister Duo...]

My boyfriend forgot about me...

Yun Duoduo put the last spoonful of porridge into her mouth, scratched her head sheepishly. Not only had Jin Jinzhi forgotten Jin Zhuangzhuang, but she had also forgotten that Jin Zhuangzhuang, like her, hadn't eaten breakfast.

"Madam, please drink your medicine."

The maid beside Madam Jin handed her a bowl of medicine, and Madam Jin frowned as she drank it.

Yun Duoduo smelled the strong medicinal odor and looked at Madam Jin's worried face, and sighed inwardly.

[This bitter medicine needs to be drunk for several days to see results.]

Seeing that Madam Jin had gone to bed to rest, Jin Jinzhi and Yun Duoduo came out and did not disturb her rest any longer.

The maidservant serving in the room skillfully closed the window and added a few pieces of incense charcoal to the small stove behind the screen.

Jin Zhuangzhuang was also carried out of the warm bed by the maid.

"Brother Jinzhi, how did Madam Jin catch a cold?"

Yun Duoduo began observing as soon as she entered the house. Apart from Madam Jin, no one else in the mansion had caught a cold.

This indicates that the cold was not caused by a virus.

“My mother was overworked because of my wedding a while ago.”

Jin Jin sighed regretfully.

"Later, was it because of the letter from Wanfo Temple that Jinzhi's marriage was called off?" Yun Duoduo asked, tilting her head.

Jin Jinzhi glanced at Yun Duoduo in surprise. His mother had forbidden the servants from talking about this matter, and he only found out by asking himself.

"Uh, I, I went to Wanfo Temple before, I heard about it, hehe, I heard about it."

Yun Duoduo laughed it off and smoothed things over.

Actually, what she wanted to ask was whether he had someone he liked and whether he wanted to get married.

But I really don't know how to bring it up.

"Later, when the weather got cold, my mother went to the Buddhist temple at night to pray for my father and me, and she caught a chill in the night."

Jin Jinzhi stopped talking about her own marriage and went back to Yun Duoduo's original question.

Yun Duoduo nodded, "I see."

“My father invited a renowned physician from the capital, and His Majesty also sent an imperial physician from the palace. My mother is in good health.”

"I hope you get better soon."

"Come on, I'll show you around."

The Jin residence was very large, and Jin Jinzhi led Yun Duoduo around for a walk.

...

Around dusk, Madam Jin suddenly developed a high fever, and General Jin Xiaoran was extremely anxious.

The imperial physicians and renowned doctors from the capital all examined Madam Jin's pulse, but they all advised her to rest and recuperate, as the illness required gradual treatment.

But when General Jin saw his wife on the bed, frowning and looking very uncomfortable, he felt extremely distressed, but there was nothing he could do.

"Go get the medicine according to this prescription first."

Yun Duoduo saw the doctor writing the prescription from the side.

This medicine can treat illnesses, but its effects are too slow.

[Mrs. Jin already has a fever; how can she not take fever-reducing medicine?]

Yun Duoduo really wanted to help, but the medicine in her medicine box was different from the Chinese medicinal herbs in Nanyang. If she took it out rashly, people probably wouldn't believe her and would even think she was a witch.

She decided to wait until nightfall when no one was around before secretly feeding Madam Jin the medicine.

"Go quickly and get some hot towels to wipe the sweat from Madam's forehead."

General Jin's eyes were filled with heartache.

The doctor said I need to cover myself with a blanket until I sweat.

After a while, General Jin's eyelids drooped, so he replaced him with Jin Jinzhi to keep watch at night.

When Yun Duoduo came to Madam Jin's bedroom again, Jin Jinzhi had just received a letter from the palace and went out to read it.

The timing is perfect.

"I'll do it."

Yun Duoduo took the bowl of medicine from Dong'er and gestured to the maid to fetch a hot towel.

While Dong'er was out, Yun Duoduo looked around to make sure no one was there. Then she poured the medicine from the bowl into a flowerpot on the bedside table and took out some fever reducer from her bosom and put it into Madam Jin's mouth.

Yun Duoduo was relieved to see that Madam Jin had swallowed all the medicine and let out a long sigh of relief.

[After taking this fever reducer, you'll feel better by tomorrow morning, and you won't have a headache or feel nauseous anymore.]

"What are you doing?!"

A girl's sharp scream came from behind.

Yun Duoduo was already tense and stiff from secretly feeding the medicine, and when she heard the shouts behind her, she was even more startled.

She turned her head to look and saw that the girl was wearing a water-white, belted lotus dress and a pearl hairpin in her hair. She looked charming and pitiful.

Whose young lady is this?

[A classic example of a pure and innocent girl.]

"You, you actually poisoned my aunt!"

Who is this person? She's quite beautiful, but a bit slow-witted.

[What would a princess of a nation do, poisoning people in the dead of night?!]

"I'm going to tell my cousin!"

The girl ran out crying and bumped into Dong'er, who was carrying a hot towel into the house.

Dong'er looked at the girl who ran out in surprise, then looked at Yun Duoduo sitting by the bed with a puzzled expression.

"Dong'er, who is that person?" Yun Duoduo asked, watching the girl's departing figure.

"Yes, she is the young master's cousin and the eldest daughter of the madam's brother's family."

It turns out she is the daughter of Madam Jin's brother.

"What's the name of Jinzhi's cousin...?"

Yun Duoduo felt a throbbing pain in her temples. She had never known that he had a cousin.

"Searching for Beirui..."

Looking at Dong'er's expression, she knew that she had heard Xun Beirui's accusations against her.

"Dong'er, do you think I would poison your wife?"

Yun Duoduo stared intently at Dong'er.

Dong'er shook her head and handed the hot towel in her hand to Yun Duoduo: "The princess and the young lady live together every day. The princess has no reason to harm the lady."

The young lady she was referring to was Jin Zhuangzhuang. Everyone in the Jin family knew that Jin Zhuangzhuang had lived in the palace with Yun Duoduo since birth.

"Moreover, I have heard of the princess's deeds. The princess rescued many people from human traffickers and wiped out a whole band of bandits. I know that the princess is a good person, a very good person!"

Dong'er had been feeling down all day because her master was sick, but she cheered up when the topic of Yun Duoduo came up.

Look, look, even a maid is more sensible than a proper young lady like Xun Beirui.

Yun Duoduo looked at Dong'er with some relief.

As the two were talking, they heard footsteps behind them.

"Cousin, it was her! She poisoned Aunt when no one was around!"

Xun Beirui dragged Jin Jinzhi along and stormed in angrily.

Pointing at the clouds, she said aggressively, "I saw everything, what else do you have to say?!"

"Cousin, look, she poured the medicine into the flowerpot next to her, and the soil in the flowerpot is still wet!"
