The group fell silent and sat quietly in the room, waiting for Xiao Yunying's fever to subside.
Even as night fell, Xiao Yunying still showed no signs of waking up. When the children returned from school and learned that her illness had worsened, they were all extremely worried.
During this time, the Yang family and the two Xiao brothers who came down from the mountain came to see her and comforted Mu Lianrong. However, they could not help by staying, so Mu Lianrong persuaded them to go back.
Luo Sheng occasionally wiped Xiao Yunying's sweat with a handkerchief dampened with cool water. Thinking that her external wounds needed to be re-treated, he said to the people in the room, "You all go out. I'll re-treat Yunying's wounds."
Mu Lianrong originally wanted to do it herself, but she had been absent-minded and distracted since noon, so Xiao Shanhai persuaded her to go out.
But he didn't want Luo Sheng to apply the medicine to his daughter: "Let Yun Wan apply the medicine to Yun Yun."
"No need, I can do it myself."
Luo Sheng's tone left no room for refusal. Zheng Yunwan was not afraid of him and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Madam Luo, who had just returned.
“Let my son go. He is Yunying’s husband. There’s nothing to hide.” She then lowered her voice, “Besides, you can’t stop him.”
Zheng Yunwan realized that she couldn't win against him, so she could only swallow her anger and leave.
A large group of people left the room. Madam Luo looked at Mu Lianrong and Xiao Shanhai, recalling what the Minister's wife had said to her that day, and didn't know what to do.
Yun Ying might actually be Qi Shuang's child; this was something she never expected.
When Qi Shuang was pregnant, she was with her two sons, accompanying her husband in the army, and settled in the northern frontier. She did not return to the capital until a year later.
Qi Shuang had never told me about being kidnapped, nor about the loss of her newborn daughter. To alleviate her grief, she had adopted a girl from a relative of the Zuo family and raised her as her own daughter.
Madam Luo sighed. What a mess this is.
Although I don't like socializing, I have attended quite a few banquets because of my status and have met quite a few people. I can guess what a person is thinking just by looking at their actions and expressions.
When Mu Lianrong heard Qi Shuang mention the birthmark and inscription on Xiao Yunying's back, she became noticeably more agitated and hurriedly denied it, which only made her seem guilty.
It's possible that Yunying really does have a birthmark and inscription on her back.
If Xiao Yunying really is her long-lost daughter, then wouldn't it mean that her adopted daughter beat her biological daughter into this state right under her nose?
Given Xiao Yunying's personality, after something like this happened, would she still acknowledge Qi Shuang as her biological mother?
