Gu Yuanfang?!
I didn't expect to meet you so soon.
Gu Yuanfang was petite and lively when she was young, but unfortunately the smile in her eyes did not reach her eyes, and there was a flash of disgust.
Linlang calmly pulled her arm back from her grasp and smiled at her. "Saving the madam was an accident. I'm glad I could help, and it's my honor. Our family is flattered that the four young masters have come to express their gratitude in person."
Linlang brought her brother forward to pay her respects to Mrs. Song and the four young masters. "Madam asked the young masters to send so many gifts, they are so precious. We don't have any other gifts in return, so we made some tea and snacks. I hope Madam and the young masters don't mind."
The more Song looked at Linlang, the more she liked her. Seeing her eyebrows relax, she smiled and said, "Linlang has such skills. Bring it over to me and show it."
Linlang opened the basket's cloth and took out two plates of beautiful tea cakes. "Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits, I made a few simple designs. I hope Madam likes them."
There are persimmons inside, which means everything goes well. There are also two pomegranates and a few crystal clear pomegranate seeds, which mean that the marquis's family will have many sons and grandsons.
This is Linlang's heart and expectation. She hopes that the Marquis' Mansion will not be as declining as in the previous life.
When Madam Li saw them, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Oh, these tea cakes are so beautiful, they are a feast for the eyes."
Song liked it very much. "How could I bear to eat such a beautiful thing? I should just put it here and look at it. I should appreciate it."
"As long as Madam likes it." Linlang could see that Song Shi really liked it, and she smiled. "How is Madam's injury? It doesn't hurt much now, does it?"
Song lifted the hem of her skirt and said, "Look, the swelling has gone down. The doctor said that your medicine is many times better than the one he used before. You treated me very promptly and saved me a lot of pain."
"Madam, you are too polite." Linlang saw that Song's injuries were indeed getting better. The skin color around the wound was recovering and it was not as swollen as in the morning.
Since there was a doctor at home, she didn't say much, bowed, and prepared to leave.
However, Song had no intention of letting her leave. She took her hand and asked her to sit on the other side of the Luohan bed. She said distressedly, "When I heard about your situation before, I felt very guilty. Because of the things happening in the mansion, I caused you to suffer."
Linlang knew that Song was talking about breaking off the engagement. She smiled and said, "Actually, I should thank your family for helping me recognize a person's true nature. I stopped rushing into things and cut my losses in time."
"Now that the engagement has been called off and the Marquis' Mansion has given the bad guy the punishment he deserves, I can live a leisurely life from now on. I'm very satisfied."
Song admired Linlang even more. "You are quite open-minded. That's right. Now that the matter is resolved, let's move on."
"Madam, you're absolutely right." Linlang nodded. "We still have many people around us who care about us. We must be well and not lose hope in life."
Song smiled lovingly and held Linlang's hand tightly. Talking to Linlang always made her feel warm in her heart, and seeing her made her feel relaxed all over.
The women were talking, and it was not convenient for Su Jinrui and his fellow apprentice to stay any longer, so they took Rong Yi outside to the garden.
Gu Yuanfang stared at the hand that Song was holding, feeling extremely jealous. She was just a country girl, yet she deserved such intimacy from the lady.
She had been with Song for so many years, and even though she treated her well and arranged everything for her, she had never been so intimate with her. On the surface, they seemed close, but in reality, they were very distant.
Watching the two of them talking intimately, Gu Yuanfang walked over with a proper smile on his face, "Miss Linlang is indeed a wonderful person. No wonder my aunt likes her. I like her very much too."
Linlang rolled her eyes inwardly. You really like to tease me, like to tease me to death. Don't think I didn't see that vicious expression on your face just now. Why are you pretending to be a little white rabbit here?
Linlang stood up in awe. "I'm just a country girl, how could I possibly deserve your favor? It's the Madam who didn't despise me and was so approachable that she let me in. Then I can enjoy your noble presence."
But I dare not be contaminated by your tea.
Song pulled Linlang's hand again and asked her to sit down. "What's the point of being noble? If you hadn't given me drug treatment this morning, I would have suffered a lot. If you really want to make a fuss, it's because I've benefited from your blessing. Linlang is obviously a blessed girl."
"I thought you looked familiar the first time I saw you, and the more I looked at you, the more I liked you." Song Shi wanted to adopt Linlang as her goddaughter, but now was not the right time, and she was afraid of scaring her. To have someone adopt her as a goddaughter, she had to have the family's consent.
"I like Madam, too. She has a kind face, gentleness and grace. You can tell at first glance that she's a good mother."
Linlang spoke from the bottom of her heart, "My mother passed away when I was five years old. Seeing Madam is like seeing my mother."
Gu Yuanfang curled his lips in disdain. This was another flatterer. His ambition was so high that he even wanted to recognize a marquis lady from the Song family as his mother.
She didn't want another cousin to compete for her favor, so she immediately said, "Well, actually, I also think Miss Linlang looks kind. When I saw you, I thought of my poor sister Li'er. She said that..."
As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and looked at Song with red eyes, "Aunt, Sister Li'er is a lucky person, and she will definitely be found. I pray for her every day, and she will definitely come back."
Gu Yuanfang was already crying. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let Li'er go out of the cabin with her to play. It's all my fault. I didn't protect Li'er well."
Song's eyes immediately turned red, her mood turned low, her face pale, and she was lost in memories and longing. She kept muttering, "It's not your fault. It's my negligence as a mother. I didn't take good care of her and didn't look after her well, so that's why this happened."
"Li'er must hate me, hate that I'm not a good mother, that's why she didn't come back to see me. She even refused to see me in her dreams, she hates me."
"Li'er, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm sorry..."
Nanny Li was busy trying to comfort her. Gu Yuanfang rushed over and hugged Song, "I'm sorry, auntie. I shouldn't have mentioned my sister and made you sad. I will help you find her. I will definitely help you find her."
Linlang watched all this with a frown. How could she not see that Gu Yuanfang did it on purpose? He was afraid that Song would have too much contact with her, mention the lost lady, make Song sad, and then ignore her.
This person has a very vicious mind and will do anything to achieve his goals. This is like cutting Song's heart with a knife.
She observed Song's condition and found that she was too worried and had already suffered from depression. Such stimulation would only make her condition worse.
It seems that Song was poisoned by a snake in his previous life, which injured his body and caused his death after his depression worsened.
Linlang stepped forward and pulled Gu Yuanfang away. She pressed Song's acupuncture points, causing her to faint. She reached out and picked her up, "Mammy, take me to Madam's room. She needs to rest."
Nanny Li quickly led the way, "Miss Linlang, please come this way."
