"Miss, I don't think you're entirely to blame for the master's illness." Tan'er seemed to be talking to herself. "After all, ever since the second young lady's accident, the master's health has been failing. The eldest lady has been giving him medicine, but he hasn't gotten better."
Jin Suting sighed secretly. The old general was already in his sixties, and it was normal for his body to age.
But he seemed fine a few months ago. Could it be that he got seriously ill because I worried too much?
"What did Ming's mother say?" she asked.
Tan Er replied, "It wasn't Mother Ming who saw him. It was the doctor the eldest lady found. He was said to be a miraculous doctor, Doctor Mo."
Jin Suting was surprised: "Doctor Mo? He's the one who cured the Queen Mother's illness and was recruited into the Imperial Hospital?"
Tan Er: "Now I should call him Doctor Mo."
"I remember when you pretended to be injured, he wanted to come and treat you."
Jin Suting remembered that she had pretended to be crazy and stupid at that time and didn't let him get close to her.
After a while, the water in the medicine pot had already boiled. Jin Suting poured in the herbs one by one, covered the lid, and fanned the fire to increase the fire a little.
"Qin'er, please help me watch it. When it's cool enough to drink, give it to Cao Cao. Drinking the medicine will help you get better faster."
"This is a special period, and we can't let any of us fall ill."
Jin Suting said goodbye to Tan'er, packed her clothes, and went to see the old general.
The room was very quiet. A little maid guarding the door was dozing off. It seemed that the girl had always been taking care of the old general's daily life. Jin Suting felt that she looked familiar.
When the maid saw the eldest lady coming, she wiped the saliva from her mouth, stood up, and gave her a lazy bow, which was quite polite.
At least he didn't give her a cold look like the others.
"My father hasn't woken up yet?" Jin Suting asked without going in, standing at the door.
The maid yawned, a long yawn that made Jin Suting impatient. She finally spoke, "Miss, go in and see for yourself."
Jin Suting rolled her eyes inwardly and stepped into the dark, unlit room.
There really was no one in the room. Mrs. Lu was really too bold.
Only one maid was left to guard the old general in case something happened or he suddenly woke up.
Jin Suting turned on a lamp near the bed and looked at the old general lying on the bed with a pale and stiff face, her eyes feeling a little sour.
If she didn't make her father angry, would he be fine?
It’s so hard to have a father who loves me, why don’t you know how to cherish him?
She knelt beside the bed and touched the old general's arm that was exposed outside the quilt.
It’s so cold, Dad must be very cold.
She loosened her grip, tucked the old general's arm into the quilt, and pulled the quilt up and tucked it in so that it would not be so cold.
"Daddy, you must wake up soon. Su'er is waiting for you to take me to eat delicious food."
Unconsciously, a crystal tear fell from her eye. Jin Suting truly felt that she was really hoping that the old general would wake up. She really regarded him as her father and truly felt the family love.
But if he doesn't wake up, she may never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Willful, paranoid, and sensitive.
She lay there for a while, her tears wetting a part of the quilt, then she stood up, her legs numb from kneeling.
After brushing off the dust on her skirt, she said silent goodbye to the old general, turned around and walked out the door.
Walking towards her was the person she least wanted to see right now - Mrs. Lu.
She was in a hurry, as if something had been stolen and she was coming to collect the debt.
She was followed by the maid who was guarding the door just now. Was she going to inform her father? How funny! She even had to inform her father before she could see him?
She had no mood or interest in fighting with Lu. After all, this was a woman who wanted her life. Last time, she had already warned this woman once. If she touched her bottom line again and again, she didn't know what she would do.
Passing by each other, that's what she thought.
But Mrs. Lu didn't think so. She was clearly looking for trouble.
When Jin Suting was only half a shoulder's width away from Mrs. Lu and was about to pass by her, Mrs. Lu glanced back and stopped her, "Hey, isn't this Miss Jin? How dare you come to see the master? Do you still have any shame?"
Stay calm, Jin Ting thought to herself, I need to be more steady and not waste time on trivial matters such as arguing with this kind of woman.
“…” She remained expressionless and continued walking forward.
Mrs. Lu signaled the maid to stop her. Jin Suting paused, without turning around, and stood there with an indifferent expression.
"Is there anything else, Madam Lu?"
Mrs. Lu was furious when she heard the title. "You call me Madam Lu, little bitch. Didn't anyone teach you manners? I'm your father's legitimate wife. I'm Madam Jin!"
She emphasized the three words "Mrs. Jin" to emphasize her identity.
All he got in return was a sneer from Jin Suting.
"What are you laughing at? You're just like that bitch your mother, not presentable." Every word from Mrs. Lu was heart-wrenching. Jin Ting had never seen her mother in this body, but she knew that she was a very gentle and beautiful person.
