Yining understands everything.
Mrs. Luo applied medicine to Yining, and the maid brought up some ginger soup. Yining drank the whole bowl of ginger soup and ate some snacks before falling asleep.
Mrs. Luo stroked the child's tender face and said to Mother Xu, "Before, when she should have been sensible, she wasn't at all. Now that she's clearly been wronged and should have been crying and making a fuss, she's become sensible instead. It really hurts me to see this."
"Sister is a kind-hearted child." Mother Xu just said.
"Meimei is Minglan's child, and she has Minglan's personality." Old Mrs. Luo smiled, her expression somewhat gloomy. "If Minglan hadn't died, she would definitely be relieved to see Yining being so well-behaved and sensible."
Mrs. Luo seemed to recall something and looked up. "In half a month it will be Minglan's death anniversary. Will Zheng agree to come?"
Madam Xu said, "I received a letter saying that Zheng had originally been reluctant to come. But after hearing that you were not in good health, she burst into tears and packed her things and is now rushing to Baoding."
Only then did Mrs. Luo nod and let Mrs. Xu help her to rest.
After a busy day, I can finally take a break.
When Yining woke up the next day, she found that the medicine was indeed very effective and her knee was no longer hurt. The maids in the house all doted on her, making her breakfast her favorite dishes. They spoke to her in a gentle and caring manner, taking great care of her.
Chen brought Luo Yiyu to her early in the morning to apologize, and presented her with two ten-year-old ginsengs, a box of pigeon eggs, and a box of various pastries. She was extremely caring and concerned.
Luo Yiyu was struck by the shock, and her whole demeanor had become much more detached. She wore a light purple satin jacket, which made her waist look slender and long. She glanced at Yining, but her eyes were devoid of emotion, instead holding an indescribable coldness.
Yi Ning knew why. Yesterday, Luo Yiyu had suffered such a great blow and humiliation because of her. Even if she hadn't reported it, Luo Yiyu's extremely proud personality would have made her feel uncomfortable. Forget gratitude for this, not even hating her was a good thing.
As for Chen, she'd never really had a preference for Yining. But in this case, Luo Yiyu had gone too far. She hadn't even spoken up for her daughter. The old lady's treatment of Luo Yining clearly put them at a disadvantage. If she didn't treat Yining better, and the old lady saw it, she'd surely be even more upset.
Finally, Chen personally took off a Hetian jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Yining's small wrist without saying anything. She smiled and said, "This pair of jade bracelets was given to me by my mother. They are warm and delicate. Your aunt is giving them to you today. Jade can nourish your character."
Yi Ning fiddled with the jade bracelet on her hand and thanked Chen. But she thought to herself that Hetian jade bracelets are fragile and shouldn't be easily knocked or bumped. She didn't usually see Chen wearing them. She must have brought it to her today.
Before Chen left, Lin Hairu came over with her maid.
The girl was holding many boxes of different sizes in her hands.
Lin Hairu sat down beside Yining's bed. Seeing that her face was rosy and she seemed to be fine, she smiled brightly. She waved for the maid to come over and said, "Yining, look what I brought you."
The boxes opened one by one, revealing a pair of fifty-year-old ginseng. The second box was filled with boned abalone snails. The third box, opened, revealed a single, exquisitely colored Ganoderma lucidum. The next box, opened, revealed a complete set of jeweled headpieces!
Chen's face immediately turned ugly.
The things she had just brought were still on the small table next to her. The two skinny and pitiful ginseng plants and the spread-out box of pigeon eggs suddenly looked much shabby. When she saw the complete set of jeweled head ornaments, she could no longer sit still.
Last time, Xuan Ge'er broke a tourmaline bracelet, and she was heartbroken. Lin Hairu could easily buy a set of head ornaments. The quality of the gems was very rare, and it could be exchanged for more than ten tourmaline bracelets. Not to mention those two pitiful jade bracelets, which should be thrown away in comparison.
If someone said that Lin Hairu didn't come here specifically to slap her in the face, she wouldn't believe it!
Not to mention Chen, even Yi Ning was surprised. She had known her stepmother, Lin Hairu, was wealthy, but she had never imagined she could be this wealthy. Seeing Chen's grim expression beside her, Yi Ning felt both amused and annoyed. No wonder Lin Hairu was late today. She was probably waiting for something to be delivered here, so she could find ten times the money once she found out.
Lin Hairu took Yi Ning's hand and looked at it, then smiled and said, "Mei Jie'er, this jade bracelet looks good on you. It's just that the quality is a little off. If you want it, I have some icy jade bracelets that I don't wear often. I'll give them to you later."
Chen's face looked even uglier.
Yi Ning immediately climbed up the pole and whispered, "Mom, this was given to me by my aunt..."
Lin Hairu seemed to finally understand, slapping her lips and saying, "So it was sent by my sister-in-law... Don't take it personally, I didn't know it was sent by you. I was wrong! I'm not very good with words, and I'm not as eloquent as my sister-in-law. Please forgive me, sister-in-law."
Chen almost gritted her teeth and said it was okay, and soon she took Luo Yiyu and said goodbye.
When Mrs. Luo saw the mother and daughter burst into laughter after Chen left, she also raised her lips and said, "You dare to slap your sister-in-law in the face so openly? You should restrain yourself a little!"
Lin Hairu said, "I just can't stand them bullying Yining." Then she looked at Yining lovingly and asked, "Yining, did you think that was fun?"
Yi Ning smiled and nodded. Her stepmother, Lin Hairu, was also very protective of her own shortcomings.
