Ren Yaoqi nodded. Nanny Zhou instructed the maids to place the copper pot, copper basin and other items on the plum blossom table beside them. The two maids bowed and left, leaving only Li's two senior maids in the room. "Fifth sister, let me apply a facial mask for you, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable at night after going out in the wind."
Ren Yaoqi nodded, walked back and sat on the kang.
The head maid Xier wet the face towel and wrung it out. Nanny Zhou took it and gently applied it to Ren Yaoqi's face. The scorching heat from the face towel made Ren Yaoqi tilt her head. Nanny Zhou hurriedly said, "Fifth sister, just apply it and it will be fine. Don't move."
Ren Yaoqi just sat there without moving. After all, he was no longer a willful ten-year-old child. He could just endure the pain and it would pass.
The two head maids, Xier and Queer, looked at each other and lowered their heads again. One of them waited with the medicine bottle in hand, while the other wrung out a new face towel and waited for Madam Zhou to exchange it for it.
Ren Yaohua didn't leave either. She sat on the other side of the kang and whispered to Nanny Zhou about Li's illness.
Ren Yaoqi listened in silence, only then realizing that Li had caught a cold on the road and, after returning, had knelt for a long time outside Old Lady Ren's yard, which had worsened her condition. A doctor had come to see her and prescribed a prescription to dispel the cold.
In her previous life, Ren Yaoqi was also ill, so she didn't know about Li's illness, and no one told her. After she recovered, she went to pay her respects to her mother, but was slapped out by Ren Yaohua twice.
She was ill for four or five days, and when she recovered, Li also recovered, which shows that Li's illness should not be serious.
Ren Yaoqi thought that she should go to Nanny Zhou tomorrow to ask the doctor to prescribe a prescription for Li.
Nanny Zhou helped Ren Yaoqi apply hot compresses several times, then took the ointment from Que'er's hand and gently applied a layer of it to her. Ren Yaoqi sat still, letting her toss and turn.
"Fifth sister, are you sick?" Nanny Zhou looked at Ren Yaoqi's face carefully and saw that her eyes were a little swollen and her lips were not as moist as usual. Thinking that Ren Yaoqi did not go out to greet her when Li came back, she asked.
Ren Yaoqi paused and nodded: "I have been ill for some time, but I have recovered in the past few days. I will probably be cured after taking two more doses of medicine."
Madam Zhou was furious and anxious: "Fifth sister, how could you go out into the wind when you were sick? Don't the maids around you know to stop them?"
At this point, Nanny Zhou's face changed again: "Have you been ill for some time?" They had no idea about this at the farm, and the people who stayed in Ren's house did not even send them any message.
"Well, I got sick last month when the weather was still cold." After the autumn heat, the temperature in the north drops sharply, with alternating cold and heat, which makes it easy to get sick.
Nanny Zhou frowned and looked at Ren Yaohua, whose face was already filled with icy coldness: "It seems that everyone in Ziwei Courtyard has forgotten their own last names!"
Nanny Zhou sighed, "We've been gone for a year, and the old lady handed Ziwei Courtyard over to her care. Naturally, things have changed. I thought Ying'er and Zhu'er, the two maids, were calm and composed, and had been with the lady for many years, so they would be the most suitable to stay and look after the courtyard. If anything happened in the mansion, someone could be sent to the manor in time. But I didn't expect the old lady to marry them off. Now they can't even enter the inner courtyard. What a pity." *********New book support - to vote, just click on the "Vote" button below the cover...
