Lin Qingwan said, "I'll order two more items when I have some free time, for you and Qiuhong."
"Ask Qiu Hong what kind she likes."
Mu Xue looked shocked, her eyes filled with joy, "Miss Xie!"
After lunch, Qiu Hong said that the family physician had come to check Lin Qingwan's pulse on the orders of the eldest young lady.
Lin Qingwan had never let the family physician touch her pulse, and since the family physician was the doctor that Granny Lai had the most contact with on a daily basis, she had to be careful.
"Just tell him I'm fine and have gone to bed, and let him go home."
"yes."
After Qiu Hong left, Mu Xue closed the window and walked to the bedside. "Miss, I reminded Granny Lai's nephew. He initially denied it and even said I was making false accusations, but yesterday afternoon he sent someone to tell me that he felt someone was watching him these past few days."
"He begged the servants for help."
"He said that if you spare his life, he's willing to tell you everything that Granny Lai did for Miss."
Lin Qingwan had her eyes closed, and she still looked as thin as when she first returned to the manor. Mu Xue couldn't help but wonder, how come she can never gain weight?
There must be a lot going on in the household, and every single thing is related to the young lady. If you count them all, she hasn't had a few days of peace.
Why.
“What good will it do to tell me?” Lin Qingwan wasn’t discouraged. “Jiang Yanwan grew up in the Prime Minister’s mansion. People who work for her can come at her beck and call. She also has her mother who protects her regardless of right or wrong. And if she gets anxious, that idiot Jiang Zhenlin will stand up for her.”
“I went against her, and that’s how that old woman got what she deserved.”
"Even if I try my best, I might not be able to hurt her in the slightest."
Mu Xue looked dejected.
Lin Qingwan added, "However, I have a way to make him escape far away so that Jiang Yanwan won't find him. But he has to help me find someone."
The Prime Minister's residence is unreliable; she doesn't want to die here, so she has to find a way to survive.

Laba Festival arrived in the blink of an eye.
During her time off in the palace, Lin Qingwan and Jiang Yanwan accompanied their parents to eat Laba porridge. This was the first time she had eaten with her parents since returning home.
Jiang Yanwan asked the chef to make several dishes that Lin Qingwan usually liked, all of which were on the sweeter side, as a way to show off to her parents.
Lin Qingwan may be disgusting, but compared to Jiang Yanwan, the food is of course more important.
Unless it's poisonous, how could a mere Jiang Yanwan possibly affect her eating?
However, she ate so heartily that Jiang Su suspected she wasn't getting enough to eat at Ningsi Garden, so he had a servant serve her another bowl of porridge, saying, "Eat slowly, there's more."
"Thank you, Father." Lin Qingwan was very polite.
Seeing her like this made Lin Shi and Jiang Yanwan lose their appetite.
Lin put down her chopsticks. "Has Ah Lin eaten?"
Jiang Yanwan immediately said, "I'll go and bring the porridge to Alin right away."
Lin gave Jiang Su a reproachful look, "On the last festival of the year, the whole family can't even have a meal together."
Jiang Su naturally understood what the lady meant, but he didn't say anything.
Just as Jiang Yanwan left, the butler came in and said, "Prime Minister, someone from the old mansion has come over. The old lady invites you and your wife to have a reunion dinner together."
