The little girl nodded as if she understood but not quite.
Looking into her innocent eyes, Qingyin smiled gently and patted her head softly: "Our Pin'er will understand when she grows up."
During the two days that Qingyin stayed at the Jia family mansion, the head of the Jia family heard that there was also an imperial physician sent by the emperor accompanying her, so he became even more attentive to her and dared not neglect her in the slightest.
Lin Daiyu also received many gifts from her uncles and aunts, including some valuable jewelry and medicinal herbs. Qingyin accepted all the gifts without hesitation, but dared not actually accept any of them, though she still pretended to accept them.
On the third day of her stay at the Jia family mansion, the little girl behaved herself and stayed quiet without asking her father when he would come home.
However, Qingyin certainly wouldn't let her worry, and told her in advance that she would be leaving in one more day.
After learning the exact time to return home from her father, the little girl was visibly happier, as evidenced by the extra words she uttered that day.
Chun'er followed behind the father and daughter with a smile, watching their close interaction. Jiang Lin, on the other hand, felt a little envious. During his stay at the Jia family mansion, he could only exchange a few words with Lord Lin when he was taking his pulse. On other days, he could only occasionally follow behind and watch the young girl who could get along so well with Lord Lin.
After all, she is Lord Lin's biological daughter, so any closeness is reasonable.
Thanks to her father's good fortune, the little girl also learned that the older brother following behind was a royal physician in the palace. She also received treatment from Physician Jiang. However, because Qingyin had given Lin Daiyu a health-strengthening pill beforehand, Jiang Lin only diagnosed Lin Daiyu with a weak constitution. As long as she was well cared for, there would be no major problems later.
So Qingyin naturally stopped giving Lin Daiyu the ginseng nourishing pills. In the past few days, the young girl's complexion has become noticeably rosier and she looks much healthier. As a result, the Jia family has been unfairly blamed. Chun'er, who was furious when she returned to her room, kept cursing the Jia family for not taking good care of their young lady, which had made her health so poor.
Since we plan to leave tomorrow, we must inform Grandmother Jia in advance today.
In Rongqing Hall, Grandmother Jia looked at Qingyin, who was accompanied by Lin Daiyu, and had a premonition that the event had finally arrived.
Upon hearing Qingyin's purpose, Grandmother Jia sighed deeply, her brows furrowing, and a troubled expression on her face. "But what about Daiyu's health, and your health..."
“Mother-in-law, don’t worry. With Physician Jiang’s treatment, Pin’er’s health will be fine as long as she takes good care of herself. As for me—I also want to spend all my time with Pin’er. I’ve missed too much time before, but fortunately, my son-in-law has realized it in time.” Qingyin smiled gently.
Jiang Lin, standing behind Qingyin, understood the purpose of coming with the adults today. He smiled and nodded slightly to Grandmother Jia, who was sitting in a high position.
"Since that's the case, then I won't stop you." Grandmother Jia seemed to have lost all her energy and spirit, and aged considerably in an instant.
Seeing Grandmother Jia's state, Lin Daiyu forgot her joy at returning home and hurriedly came out, lying on Grandmother Jia's lap and hugging her.
"Grandmother." The little girl's voice trembled, filled with reluctance, her eyes brimming with sorrow for Grandmother Jia.
If there's one person in the Jia family she'd be most reluctant to leave, it's Grandmother Jia, who doted on her.
Seeing the little girl's sweet demeanor, Grandmother Jia gently patted her head and said, "Go home and listen to your father. If you are bullied, be sure to tell your father. This Jia family is not as good as your father."
She was well aware of Lin Daiyu's plight in the Jia family. She loved Lin Daiyu, but she also loved her grandsons. They were all her flesh and blood. This was not the best place for Lin Daiyu.
Qingyin watched this scene silently, dedicating her last moments to this loving grandmother and granddaughter.
