However, at this moment, Yin Wenxiao had no mind to comfort her and only told her to go back to Mingyue Pavilion first.
Soon, only Yin Wenxiao and his son remained in the room.
"Mother knows you're still upset." Old Madam Yin gently squeezed her son's hand, her gaze suddenly darkening. "But Wenxiao, divorce is something that absolutely cannot happen in our Yin family. Even if the Qin family doesn't care about their reputation, we can't. If it really comes to that, then find a pretext to divorce your wife."
"..."
The words 'divorce' struck Yin Wenxiao's heart like a thunderclap.
"This Qin Sheng..."
Madam Yin frowned again. "Could it be that I really misjudged him?"
She prided herself on her ability to judge people; Qin Sheng appeared to be a gentle, dignified, and well-educated young woman.
How could this be...?
The mother and son talked for a while and discussed how Yin Wenxiao should deal with Qin Sheng if she really wanted to complain to her family.
...
Qin Sheng is sick.
Perhaps it was because she had been holding back her anger since her past life that she suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and let it all out. In doing so, she also exhausted her body.
The autumn air was chilly, and the doctor said that the lady had caught a chill in her body and prescribed medicine.
Qin Sheng lay in bed all day, in a daze, waking up and falling asleep repeatedly, until her mind finally cleared up completely as dusk approached.
It was only early autumn, but charcoal braziers were already burning inside the house, and the doors and windows were all closed.
Qin Sheng frowned, feeling unwell from sweating. She struggled to get up, and Qiao'er, who had just entered the room, rushed over to help her.
"Why did you start burning charcoal?" Qin Sheng coughed and asked.
Qiao'er helped her sit up and put a pillow behind her back before saying, "It's because you've been feeling cold all the time, and you even complain of being cold in your sleep. I asked the doctor, and he said we could put a charcoal brazier in your room."
"Let's take it down. I don't feel cold anymore," Qin Sheng said in a hoarse voice.
The charcoal was top-quality silver frost charcoal, and it had no strange smell when burned, but the stuffy feeling in the room still made Qin Sheng uncomfortable.
She remembered that she had been burned to death in her previous life.
The stuffy, suffocating feeling made her feel unwell all over, and she felt nauseous, her chest heaving.
"Are you really not cold anymore?" Qiao'er reached out and touched her forehead; indeed, she wasn't cold anymore.
"Then this servant will take the charcoal brazier out." Qiao'er turned around, took the charcoal brazier out, and then came back in.
This was the second day that Qin Sheng had been sick.
A short while later, Caiyue brought in the brewed medicine, and a bitter smell immediately filled the room.
Qin Sheng frowned and took two sips, but it was too bitter to drink anymore. Her stomach churned, and she vomited up all the medicine she had just drunk.
"lady!"
The two maids were so startled that they were in a flurry of activity. Qiao'er was about to go out and fetch another doctor when Qin Sheng stopped her.
"fine……"
Qin Sheng frowned and shook her head, "It's just that this medicine is too bitter, I can't drink it."
The two maids exchanged a glance, and Qiao'er said worriedly, "What can we do? How can the illness get better without medicine?"
Just then, Emerald led someone in; it was Yu Rou from the old lady's side.
Qin Sheng was also somewhat surprised to see Yu Rou. During the two days that Qin Sheng had been ill, Yu Rou was the first person to visit her at Zhefang Courtyard.
"Madam," Yu Rou bowed, then spoke softly, "I heard you caught a cold, are you feeling better?"
"Much better," Qin Sheng said.
After saying a few words, Yu Rou hesitated several times before taking out a small porcelain bottle and said softly, "When I was young, I was weak and often caught colds. Every time I drank medicine, I refused to drink it because I thought it was too bitter. So my grandfather specially made this pill for me. It is also for treating colds. Take one pill twice a day."
"..."
After Yu Rou finished speaking, seeing that the madam had no reaction, she couldn't help but bite her lip, thinking that the madam did not believe her.
Indeed, the lady is the lady of the Pingyin Earl's mansion. She has everything she could want. Why would a servant like her have to fawn over her?
Yu Rou's face turned pale, and she was about to silently put the porcelain bottle away when Qin Sheng grabbed it.
The lady even smiled at her, "So there are pills that can treat colds, huh? Your grandfather is really amazing."
Then she opened the bottle, poured out a brown pill, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it.
"Madam!" Qiao'er and Caiyue exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Yu Rou also opened her mouth slightly in surprise, then quickly realized what was happening, and her heart was beating very fast for some reason.
"Thank you for the medicine." Qin Sheng nodded to her and asked Qiao'er to pour tea.
Yu Rou quickly shook her head, "Madam is a good person. This servant only did what she could. Madam, there's no need to thank me."
After she finished speaking, her face turned red for some reason.
Qin Sheng found it amusing and asked her, "I haven't had much contact with you, so how do you know I'm a good person?"
"..."
Yu Rou blushed even more, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "It was my intuition... I felt that you were a good person the first time I saw you, Madam."
The faint smile on Qin Sheng's face slowly froze.
She couldn't help but recall her previous life, when Qin Sheng visited Yu Rou on the verge of death, and she said the same thing with tears in her eyes.
"Madam...you are a good person, the Earl...he is not worthy of you..."
Qin Sheng assumed that she said that because she resented Yin Wenxiao.
Now, when Qin Sheng thinks back on it, she feels that Yu Rou from her previous life lived more clearly and understood things better than she did.
After talking for a while, Yu Rou was about to take her leave. She had come secretly, afraid that the old lady would punish her if she found out.
Qin Sheng instructed Caiyue to escort the person out.
"lady……"
After the others left, Qiao'er pursed her lips and said, "Does Madam trust Yu Rou that much? She's Granny Shi's niece, what if..."
"Are you afraid she'll poison me?"
Qin Sheng smiled and said, "No, I believe she's not that kind of person."
Qiao'er still frowned, but seeing that her mistress looked tired, she didn't say anything more.
Two more days passed.
The pills Yu Rou gave were truly effective. Qin Sheng took the medicine on time every day and recovered quickly. After he recovered, Yin Wenxiao also came.
It wasn't that he didn't come to see Qin Sheng these past few days, but rather that he had to leave the manor on business and only returned early this morning.
Upon returning home, I heard that the lady was ill.
These past few days, Old Madam Yin sent Granny Shi to visit once, and Ye Jiaoniang also came, but Qin Sheng had her maid stop her from coming in.
Being sick already makes Qin Sheng feel unwell, and she doesn't want to see anyone who makes her feel even worse.
But the maids in Zhefang Courtyard couldn't stop him; after all, he was the Earl, the master of the Pingyin Earl's Mansion!
Qin Sheng has recovered and is sitting quietly on the bed reading a book, with a blanket draped over her legs.
