"Miss, what should we do?" Cuizhi's eyes were red, her lips were downturned, and her voice was already trembling with sobs.
Shi Lan tilted her head, sighed, and began to worry. Her wound looked small, but it was deep inside. In this hot weather, if she kept going back and forth like this every day, the wound would definitely become infected. She might die before she could even break up Shi Xi's bad romantic entanglements.
Sweetie finished bandaging the wound, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Miss, why don't you pretend to be sick?"
Shi Lan raised her eyes and said, "How can that be? In my condition, they would know what's wrong just by taking my pulse. How am I supposed to explain it to them then?"
Sweet Fruit paused slightly and said, "This servant can use internal energy to change the course of your meridians, making it a case of Qi deficiency. Qi deficiency is not a serious illness, but since Madam loves Miss dearly, she will surely not want Miss to be overworked and will definitely skip the morning and evening greetings. Just give this servant half a month, and Miss will surely recover."
Shi Lan counted the days, Shi Rong should be back in half a month. That hypocrite would definitely come then. Although she wasn't sure if Shi Yi would use the same trick again, based on her experience, history always tended to go in the direction she didn't want. So, although she felt a little sorry for Shi's mother, she could only pretend to be sick and recover from her injury as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, Lanxiang Courtyard became lively. Cuizhi hurriedly went to the main courtyard to report to Shi's mother that Shi Lan looked listless and weak after her afternoon rest, and had not eaten much lunch.
Shi's mother had just woken up from her nap. Upon hearing this, she hurriedly slipped on her shoes to go see Shi Lan. Liu Mama, quick-witted and nimble, used a comb to neatly tie Shi's mother's hair into a bun. She then took a garment from the screen and helped her put it on. While walking, she even managed to fasten the knot on Shi's body and smooth out the wrinkles on her clothes.
Seeing Liu Mama's smooth and effortless movements, Cuizhi was overwhelmed with surprise and emotion. Perhaps this was the highest level of being a servant: to remain calm in the face of adversity, to be considerate of one's master, to think what one's master cannot think of, and to do what one's master cannot do.
