Luo Xiangqin cut the threads of the New Year dress she was embroidering, then threaded it again and sewed it again, looking as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Hai Moying.
"Okay, second sister-in-law, please don't make Mom angry. Her cold has just gotten better!" Chen Ya immediately interrupted and glanced at Hai Moying.
Coincidentally, Liu Lanqing came in from outside and heard these words.
"Is Mom's cold finally getting better?"
"Lan Qing is here, come and sit down and warm yourself by the fire." Luo Xiangqin said with a smile.
"Mom, I brought you some mung bean snacks. Please take a break and try them. How do you like them?"
Liu Lanqing seems very filial.
"Okay, Lan Qing's snacks are always delicious. Chen Ya, Hai Moying, you two should come and try some too."
Hai Moying immediately said indifferently, "We were busy making New Year's greeting clothes for the whole family, and you were so frugal that you actually had time to make food. But you only made these two dishes, and they're not even enough for me alone!"
Hai Moying immediately took a plate and held it in his arms and ate it voraciously.
Chen Ya just got a piece of dessert.
Luo Xiangqin, who was holding a piece of dessert, sighed and said, "Chen Ya, take this plate to your room and eat it!"
Chen Ya immediately smiled and said, "Yes, thank you, mother!"
"You should thank your third sister-in-law!"
"Thank you, third sister-in-law!" Chen Ya immediately left with a plate of snacks.
Hai Moying immediately said, "That plate of snacks has more than mine!"
Chen Ya, however, put on the grease and ran away quickly.
Hai Moying then looked at Luo Xiangqin who was staring at her.
"Mom, I want to go back to my room to eat too!" Hai Moying immediately rubbed her shoulders and ran out quickly.
"Lan Qing, please sit down. I have something to ask you." Luo Xiangqin said in a soft voice.
"Hey, mom, please ask." Liu Lanqing immediately sat on the round stool at Liu Ayuan's end.
"Did Tangtang take Chen Yilan and Zheng Douqin out of Shangshui Village?"
"To answer mother, that's right. Tangtang said she wanted to take two good friends to Kyoto for a big dinner!" Liu Lanqing immediately put her hand to her lips and smiled.
"Okay, Tangtang has always treated her friends like family. She's quite generous. This is just like the personality of my Ning family!"
"Well, Tangtang and the others left in the morning. They should be back in the evening by express carriage."
"Well, prepare some more silver bone charcoal for Tangtang's room. Don't save the charcoal, it will make the room warmer."
"Yes, I'll follow mother's instructions!" Liu Lanqing immediately stood up and bowed.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy. I'll ask them to come back and continue sewing the New Year's greeting clothes."
Liu Ayuan immediately said to the other maids, "Hurry up and ask the first and second wives to come and continue the work."
Liu Lanqing also bowed and retreated obediently.
What could she say? Because of her good embroidery skills, Liu Lanqing was only responsible for embroidering Tangtang's New Year's greetings dress. Luo Xiangqin and her two other daughters-in-law would sew for the rest of the people, allowing Liu Lanqing to work quietly on Tangtang's clothes.
Liu Lanqing came to Ning Xiaotang's yard with a box of silver bone charcoal.
"Greetings, Third Madam!" Yue Man immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Tangtang hasn't come back yet?"
"Reporting to the Third Madam, the young lady has not returned yet!"
"Well, add this silver bone charcoal. When Tangtang comes back, let me know. I want to check the length of the clothes for her. Tangtang has grown very fast recently, so I need to measure her again."
Yue Man immediately said, "Yes, Third Madam!"
Liu Lanqing immediately walked away, and Yueman immediately entered the house carrying the silver bone charcoal.
But Ning Xiaotang's carriage broke down halfway, and the three sisters were shivering with cold.
"When will Tangtang's carriage be repaired?" Chen Yilan's lips were trembling with cold.
"I'm so cold too!" Zheng Douqin hugged her hands due to the cold.
"Lingkong, please fix the carriage. Linghu and the others will escort my three sisters and me back to Shangshui Manor."
"Yes, girl!" Lingkong immediately started repairing the carriage seriously.
When Ning Xiaotang returned to Shangshui Manor, Ling Hu said, "Miss, how could this carriage break down? Could someone have done it on purpose?"
Ning Xiaotang immediately frowned: "Oh no! Lingkong is in danger! Linghu, go rescue him!"
When Ling Hu arrived, Ling Kong was surrounded by three men in black, with blood pouring from his body.
"Lingkong!" Ling Hu immediately angrily eliminated the three men in black with powerful annihilation methods.
The three men in black fell to the ground and died instantly.
"Ling Hu, why are you back?" Ling Kong immediately sat down cross-legged to repair his injuries.
"The girl sent me to rescue her."
"Can you still walk?"
"It hurts a little, but I should be fine as long as I can get back to Shangshuizhuang."
"Let's go! I'll drive the carriage!" Ling Hu put Ling Kong in the carriage and drove back.
When Ling Hu arranged for Ling Kong to lie down in the servant's room, he hurried to Ning Xiaotang's yard.
I happened to meet Liu Lanqing who was coming out after taking measurements.
"Meet the Third Madam!"
Liu Lanqing nodded and walked past Ling Hu.
Banyue, who was inside the house, immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, Ling Hu is back."
"Pass it quickly!" Ning Xiaotang ordered immediately.
Ling Hu came in and knelt down.
"Miss, Lingkong is injured!"
"Where is he now?"
"Rest in the servants' room!"
"Can you see the injury clearly? Is there any damage to the vital parts?" Ning Xiaotang immediately asked in detail.
Ling Hu immediately explained Ling Kong's injuries in detail. Ning Xiaotang then handed Ling Hu a pill and said, "Give it to Ling Kong. I guarantee he'll be full of energy tomorrow!"
Ling Hu immediately took the pill with both hands and ran to give it to Ling Kong.
After seeing that Lingkong didn't react, he reached out and pressed his stomach.
"Ling Hu, I'm not asleep yet, please stop pressing me, it hurts!"
"Why did the girl give you a third-grade pill? It makes me wish I was the one getting hurt!"
"Boss, you~ don't have back pain when you're talking while standing!"
"Then I'll squat?" Ling Hu immediately stared at Ling Kong dangerously.
"I was only stabbed on the skin by the man in black. It's not a fatal injury." Lingkong said and sat up.
"You looked so half dead that I thought you were dying!"
"Hey~ I just saw you coming to save me, so I had to pretend!"
"Don't do this next time!" Ling Huli patted Lingkong's shoulder.
"Ah, Boss, I'm bleeding again!"
"No way, press it quickly!" Ling Hu immediately pressed the damaged part of Ling Kong's belly in a hurry.
The next morning
"How is it? Has Linghu taken care of the wound on your belly?" Ning Xiaotang asked in front of Lingkong's bed with a cute and silly look.
Lingkong was so shocked that he opened his eyes immediately: "The girl is here! Damn this subordinate!"
"Okay, sit down and don't move!" Ning Xiaotang then looked at Lingkong's injuries.
"Thank you very much, young lady, for the third-grade elixir!"
