Qi Yuning saw medicine being boiled in the kitchen, and realized that Chen Nian had caught a cold and fell ill after falling into the water last night. The noise just now was also because Chen Nian had a high fever and had asked several doctors to come and see him.
Qi Yuning fetched some water back to the room and asked Lu Ze to wash up.
When Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning put the towel she had used to wash her face into the water, he frowned slightly, but still walked forward and used the towel Qi Yuning had used to wipe his own face.
Qi Yuning said, "Chen Nian is sick. I forgot to feed that little bald donkey a bowl of ginger soup last night. Don't let him really get sick, or he will yell and want to go back to North City."
After all, he was his younger brother, so Lu Ze was a little worried about Lu Yun. "It's hot in the summer, and he's a man with a lot of temper. He shouldn't be sick, right?"
Qi Yuning said, "I'm going to visit Shen Nian."
Qi Yuning went to Chen Nian's room. She had a high fever and Ning Wen was feeding her medicine.
Qi Yuning was a little envious, Shen Nian must be lucky.
Actually, Ning Wen is only twelve years older than her. When Ning Wen adopted Chen Nian, someone advised her to adopt a newborn son so that she could have someone to rely on when she gets old. The Qi family only has two siblings, Qi Yuning and Qi Yu'an. As long as a child is included in the Qi family tree, he or she will be rich in the future.
But Ning Wen still adopted the timid and cowardly Shen Nian as her adopted daughter.
Although Shen Nian has no biological parents, he has been loved by his adoptive father and mother since he was a child.
Ning Wen saw Qi Yuning coming and said, "Ningning."
Qi Yuning stepped forward and said, “I just saw the medicine jar in the small kitchen. I heard that Shen Nian was sick?”
Ning Wen said, "Although it's summer, the water inside was very cold that night. I was frightened yesterday and had a fever all night. Sigh."
Shen Nian coughed several times and said, “Princess, please don’t come over, so as not to infect you with the disease.”
Qi Yuning said, "I'm in good health and won't be infected that easily. But I'm a little curious why there is a small kitchen in your courtyard? I see you eat everything in the kitchen."
Chen Nian said, "My husband had it made for me half a year after I got married. After that, except for some family dinners, all our meals were cooked in the small kitchen."
Qi Yuning asked, "Did you eat anything last night? How did you get knocked out outside?"
Chen Nian thought: "I didn't eat anything last night. I just fell asleep and woke up in the lake."
Qi Yuning asked Shen Nian, “Is it the maidservant beside you?”
Chen Nian's voice was hoarse due to the cold. "My previous maids were all sold by Madam Qin on the pretext of protecting the Huang family's reputation. I'm not familiar with the maids who are here now, and I don't want them to serve me at night."
Qi Yuning looked at Shen Nian and said, "You should keep a few more maids around you. Where are the maids in the Shen family?"
Shen Nian said: "It doesn't matter to me, Han'er is important. The maids my stepmother gave me have gone to take care of Han'er. Now I don't dare to let the Huang family maids interfere with Han'er's wet nurse's food or anything else."
Seeing Shen Nian's sickly appearance, Qi Yuning asked, "Has anything happened in the six months since you got married? That's why I built this little kitchen for you?"
Shen Nian said: "After an old Taoist priest came here."
Ning Wen asked, "But is it Taoist He?"
Qi Yuning heard the familiar Taoist He ask, "Mrs. Shen San, do you know Taoist He? I'm looking for him for something very important. Do you know where he is?"
Lingling's presence here is ultimately a concern for Qi Yuning.
