Luo Xue Ning slept for a long time, but she was completely unaware that at this time, the Luo family had already spread the word about the fourth Miss Luo, and people called her a female detective.
After waking up, Luo Xue Ning just laughed it off when she heard such words. If the servants in the mansion knew that there was a conspiracy behind her ability to distinguish right from wrong, they probably would not think she was amazing, but rather felt sorry for her.
Luo Xuening recalled some things in her dream. She reorganized the memories of the original owner and finally figured it out.
The place she traveled to was the Kingdom of Nanshao. There was no record of this country in history, and the original owner didn't know much about it.
The original owner was the fourth daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who was persecuted by her stepmother and sisters. Her father was Luo Wenwu, the Prime Minister of Nanshao State.
Her biological mother, named Ye Muer, had a very good relationship with Prime Minister Luo. However, she suddenly became insane ten years ago, and now her intelligence is roughly equivalent to that of a four-year-old child.
Luo Xuening recalled these things carefully. She knew that she would have to live here as Luo Xuening in the future, and there was a possibility that she would face the danger of having her identity exposed. Therefore, she could not forget these memories that could prove her identity.
While Luo Xuening was thinking, the maid Luo Xia came in carrying medicine.
"Miss, the doctor said that you have lost too much blood and you are overworked. You must drink more blood. Here is the red date, wolfberry and black chicken soup I made for you. Come and try it."
The maid who was speaking was named Luoxia, and she was the personal maid of the original owner. She had been serving the original owner since she was young and was very loyal. After Luo Xue Ning traveled through time, this maid also swore to protect her master to the death. Her loyalty was indeed commendable.
Although the current Luo Xu Ning is no longer the original Luo Xu Ning, she is still very happy to have such a capable maid, so she stood up, walked to the table, picked up the bowl of fragrant soup, and took a sip.
It tastes good, Luo Xue Ning smiled faintly. Just as she was about to compliment Luo Xia, a spicy taste remained in her mouth. Luo Xue Ning's sense of taste was very sensitive, and she immediately felt that there was something wrong with the soup.
Luo Xuening suffers from anemia, and this red dates, wolfberries and black chicken soup is indeed a good remedy. Red dates and wolfberries are used to replenish blood, while black chicken can help wounds heal. However, if this blood-replenishing medicine is taken with spicy food, it will not only fail to replenish blood, but will also harm the body.
Luo Xuening frowned tightly, and with a "clang", she slammed the bowl of medicine on the table.
"Why is the soup so unpalatable today? Take it back and make it again."
Luoxia and Luoxuening have been together for a long time, and they are as close as sisters. She has never seen Luoxuening get so angry before, so she quickly cleared the dishes on the table while whispering.
"Miss, please don't be angry. I will take it back and redo it."
Luo Xue Ning really wouldn't fall out with someone just over a bowl of medicine, she just took this opportunity to test Luo Xia. There was a moment of confusion in Luo Xia's eyes, and finally she just frowned slightly. Obviously, she really didn't understand why Luo Xue Ning was angry.
Luo Xue Ning had some idea in her mind, so she slowed down her tone and asked, "Did you make this soup?"
"Yes. Miss, you have been anemic since you were a child, and I have always made soup for you. Today, the taste of this soup should be no different from before."
Although Luoxia was confused, she trusted Luoxuening more than she respected her, so she spoke to her in a more casual manner. This natural state made her relax her guard, and she continued to ask.
"What did you put in this soup? Tell me about it."
Luoxia was even more puzzled, and stared at Luoxuening blankly. The young lady has been taking this medicine for many years, why is she asking about it again today?
After a few breaths, Luoxia said, "It's red dates, wolfberries, and black chicken."
"No other herbs?"
Luoxia thought hard and said, "I also added ephedra and cinnamon twig. The doctor said that these two herbs are for relieving the exterior symptoms. Miss, you have a lot of dampness in your body, so you can mix them together."
"Oh"
Luo Xue Ning snorted coldly. It was true that eight out of ten women had heavy dampness in their bodies. This was not considered a serious illness.
Ephedra and cinnamon twig are indeed antipyretic. However, if these two herbs are mixed in a blood-replenishing soup, it will harm people.
"How long have I been taking this medicine?"
"You have had a weak constitution since childhood. You have been taking this medicine for about ten years."
Ten years have passed. Luo Xue's anger was almost bursting out of her throat. Ten years ago, the original owner was probably only four or five years old, and her body was mutilated in such a vicious way.
It’s really possible. He can even do that to a little girl.
Luo Xuening only then understood why the original owner's house was filled with the smell of medicine, and why the original owner died of excessive blood loss after being pushed by Gu Shuchang. It was probably related to the medicine she had been taking since childhood.
After taking this soup for ten years, the original owner's blood coagulation function was naturally damaged. After being injured, excessive blood loss led to death...
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Luoxia had no idea what was going on. She only knew that the young lady had been fine when taking the medicine before, so why was she so resistant today?
"Take this soup away and don't make it again from now on."
"Also, give me the prescription written by the court doctor."
In Nanshao Kingdom, just like in ancient China, most powerful and wealthy families would hire a doctor to see patients at home.
In this way, even if there is a sick child in the family, they can be treated in time without spending half a day to call a doctor.
Luo Xuening remembered clearly that this palace physician had indeed come to the Prime Minister's Mansion ten years ago. His medical skills were good, so he was highly valued.
Now, recalling the time when the court physician came in, Luo Xuening felt a chill down her spine. It turned out that in order to deal with her, they had even contacted the court physician. They were really prepared for a rainy day.
However, the only person who could have such means and be so heartbroken is probably the resentful Mrs. Gu.
However, today, she would send this court doctor out to sweep the place and make sure that Gu's minions would have nowhere to hide.
The prescription written by the court physician was quickly delivered to Luo Xuening. In the past ten years, there were not many prescriptions, and almost all of them were blood-replenishing medicines. However, without exception, the court physician would prescribe two more medicines in the prescriptions, ephedra and cinnamon twigs.
Luo Xuening was holding the prescription and was about to go to see the Prime Minister when suddenly, a servant outside the house came to report that Prime Minister Luo had asked her to go to Wan'antang.
Wan'an Hall is where the old lady lives. Luo Xuening is not liked by the old lady and rarely goes in and out of Wan'an Hall on weekdays. Today, she is in vain for Prime Minister Luo.
Luo Xuening picked out a long gauze dress with gold embroidery from the cupboard, and put a silk coat on the outside. She tied a jade belt around her waist, which perfectly outlined her slender waist. She looked like a graceful lady, extremely beautiful.
Now, she is only fourteen years old. In a few years, we will see how she will conquer the country.
"Miss, you are so beautiful."
Luoxia stared at Luoxuening blankly, her eyes full of surprise. Luoxuening smiled faintly, with a different kind of charm in her slightly raised eyebrows.
"Clothes make the man. One day, I'll make you a new dress. You'll be prettier than your young lady."
"Miss, please make fun of me."
While the two were chatting and laughing, they arrived at Wan'an Hall. They looked at the two large Buddhas sitting in the hall, Old Madam Luo and Prime Minister Luo. Standing below the hall was Gu. When Gu saw Luo Xue Ning, his expression suddenly turned cold. Luo Xue Ning pretended not to see him and bowed slightly.
Old Lady Luo glanced at Luo Xue Ning coldly and asked in a cold voice: "I heard that you pushed Miss Xia into the water?"
"Mom, we haven't investigated this matter thoroughly yet, and we can't conclude that it was Ning'er who did it. It's too arbitrary for you to say that."
Prime Minister Luo quickly winked at the old lady. Didn't she just agree to be gentle? Why did she have such a bad temper when she saw her granddaughter?
Luo Xue Ning found it a little funny when she saw Prime Minister Luo's nervous look on his daughter's face. Prime Minister Luo had always been filial and did not dare to disobey his mother too much, but he also could not bear to see his daughter suffer any grievances.
Because, from what he knew, Luo Xuening did not push Xia Qingchan into the water on purpose.
So, this man who was so bold and decisive in the court remained in an awkward posture.
Luo Xue Ning looked at Prime Minister Luo like this, and suddenly her nose felt sore. She thought of her father in modern times. She didn't know what her father would do when he was all alone after she died. Would someone drop by his side and take care of him?
"Dad, I'm fine. I came here just to explain this matter."
Luo Xue Ning spoke obediently, and the affectionate call of "Daddy" made Prime Minister Luo extremely happy and sweet to his heart.
For so many years, Luo Xue Ning has always been hostile to him, and the father and daughter are not close. Now, Ning'er has finally changed her mind about him, so naturally he has to show his good performance.
Prime Minister Luo immediately said, "Mother, this matter has passed. Ning'er has suffered a lot of grievances. Let's forget about it and don't mention it again."
The obvious biased attitude made Old Lady Luo very unhappy: "You only know how to protect her, sooner or later you will get used to it and spoil her."
Old Madam Luo frowned and sighed, but Prime Minister Luo was in no mood to care about all this. All he cared about was his daughter, and she finally stopped resisting him.
Looking at Prime Minister Luo's smug expression, Luo Xue Ning felt extremely cordial. Surprisingly, she no longer had the same resistance to this place as before.
