"Mother, do you want to raise Xuan'er?" Yining asked her.
Lin Hairu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Yining, my uncle was the only son born to a concubine, and was raised by the main wife. Later, when he grew up and started a family, he brought that concubine's biological mother to live with the main wife, and treated her more favorably than the main wife who raised him. I feel uncomfortable when I think about these things."
After all, they are not their own children and have other people's blood in their bodies. When the child grows up, his heart will most likely be towards his biological mother.
Yining sighed inwardly. If that was the case, he might as well return Xuan Ge'er.
But we can't just let it go like this.
When Luo Chengzhang returned from the yamen and came to Lin Hairu, Yining told him, "...Mother was worried about Xuan'er's poor health, so she only let him play to recuperate. This gave Sixth Sister the wrong impression. Since Aunt Qiao misses Xuan'er so much, and he's healthy now, let Aunt Qiao take him back. This way, Mother won't have to take care of him and suffer so much in vain."
Luo Chengzhang felt Yi Ning's words made sense. Seeing Lin Hairu also looking sad, he felt even more sorry for her. Truly, Lin Hairu was working so hard for nothing. Concubine Qiao and her daughter weren't grateful to her; instead, they blamed her. How could that be?
He could see that Aunt Qiao's "illness" was caused by Xuan Ge'er. It would have been fine if she had deceived him once or twice, but after three or four times, he would have become more vigilant. He had long said that he hated people using tricks to deceive him the most, and Aunt Qiao had offended him this time.
He had Aunt Qiao and her daughter called over. He said in a cold tone, "You're becoming even more fussy! Your mother and sister brought Xuan-ge'er here to take care of him for his own good. Not only do you not appreciate it, you even blame Hai Ru. I want to know what's really going on with you!"
Seeing her father's serious expression, Luo Yilian was so frightened that she quickly knelt down. Her face was as delicate as a pear blossom, her chin was pointed, and tears welled up in her eyes. She said softly, "I'm still worried about my brother. Father really misunderstood. My brother's illness has healed, and I'm grateful beyond words. I'm also worried about Xuan'er's schoolwork..."
"Why are you worrying about Xuan'er's studies? Your third brother and I will naturally take care of it!" Luo Chengzhang said, "If you do anything else that disturbs the peace of the family, I will never let you go. Xuan'er is growing up plump and healthy with Madam, and he doesn't have any illness at all. It shows that Madam is taking good care of him."
Yi Ning continued Luo Chengzhang's words, "Father, I feel that since the maids and servants in the concubine's room who are taking care of Xuan'er are not good enough, they should all be kicked out of the house. Let mother assign someone else to take care of Xuan'er."
Aunt Qiao's face looked even uglier, because these people were all her confidants!
If she can't even protect her own people, who would be willing to work for her in the future!
She immediately knelt down and said, "Master, you must not listen to Miss Seventh..."
Luo Yilian cried even harder, her frail body trembling slightly: "Father, the nanny who takes care of my brother is also my wet nurse. How can I bear to... Seventh sister, what are you thinking?" Her face became paler and paler, and a shadow appeared in front of her eyes. The next moment she lost consciousness, and her body suddenly fell down limply.
Yi Ning had heard that Yi Lian had a condition that could cause her to faint at any moment. It was unclear what the condition was, but it could cause her to faint at critical moments.
Aunt Qiao cried out in despair and went to hug her daughter. Luo Chengzhang became worried when he saw that his daughter was ill, and wanted to go forward and pick her up immediately.
Yining stopped her, luckily she was prepared.
"Don't worry, father. I have a maid left by Mother Zheng who is quite knowledgeable in medicine. She told me that a child like Sixth Sister, who could faint at any moment, needs two injections to wake her up." Yining turned to look at Qingqu standing next to her, "Qingqu, do you have the needles?"
Qingqu was amazed. Don’t look at these young ladies as they are so small. They are really good at predicting things!
She immediately took out the cloth bag and opened it. A row of cold, gleaming needles were placed on it. Qingqu nodded and said, "Miss, I have brought the needles."
Aunt Qiao, who was standing by, felt like vomiting blood. Luo Yining was so good, she could even prepare for this, she had already prepared for it!
"Go give Sixth Sister two injections quickly." Yi Ning said with a worried tone, "It's really not good for her to be so dizzy."
Seeing Qingqu approaching with a needle, Aunt Qiao immediately tried to stop her: "Master, this is absolutely not allowed. What if this girl pricks the wrong place and hurts Lianjie'er?"
"Don't worry, Auntie," Luo Yining advised, determined to discipline her today to prevent her from causing trouble again. "Qingqu has been giving Mother acupuncture and treatment, and Mother feels the results are very good. Mother, don't you agree?"
Lin Hairu immediately followed suit and said, "Miss Qingqu's medical skills are very advanced, not inferior to Mother Zheng's!"
Qingqu's mouth twitched, but of course he didn't point it out.
Luo Chengzhang held his frail daughter in his arms, only to see her pale face. He immediately said, "Yuechan, stop talking! Since she's Madam Zheng's daughter, her medical skills must be excellent. Come over and give Lian'er acupuncture!"
Mother Zheng was a deified figure in the Luo family. Everyone had complete faith in her medical skills.
Aunt Qiao took a deep breath. What else could she do? She could only ask Qingqu to give her two injections.
Qingqu immediately took out a needle and comforted Aunt Qiao, saying, "Don't worry, Aunt. I saved all the sick mules and horses on the farm. Sometimes when Mother Zheng is not around, I also treat the tenants on the farm. I do have some medical skills..."
After hearing this, Aunt Qiao wanted to strangle Qingqu to death. What did she mean by this!
Lin Hairu almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and it was so hard that her face turned red.
