"Doctor Li, how is Ru Si?"
The eldest lady's eyes were dim with tears, and she reached out her hand to touch Ruth's forehead, her heart hurting like a knife.
Doctor Li shook his head: "Oh! The injury on the second lady's arm will never heal. She was stimulated and frightened just now. I'm afraid she will be comatose for a few hours!"
The eldest lady asked Mother Wan beside her to give Dr. Li a few taels of silver, and said with a hint of pleading: "Doctor Li, please forgive the injury on the second lady's hand."
Doctor Li sighed again, nodded in agreement, and then wrote a prescription. With Madam's consent, he asked Mother Wan to accompany Doctor Li to get the medicine.
"Ruth, how did you become like this? If mother had arrived earlier, you would have been fine."
She carefully raised Lin Rusi's injured arm, tears rolled down her cheeks, and suddenly she saw the hairpin with dried blood stained on it that was held tightly in Rusi's hand. At this moment, she knew nothing about it.
Understood.
Qiu Yan came just now and gave this hairpin to Ru Si, but Ru Si fainted from the stimulation after seeing the hairpin that hurt her.
Qiu Yan must have been sent by Lin Ruoxi, a dead girl, and Ru Si's injury must have something to do with her.
Mother Mo went to the eldest lady's yard to look for her, but she couldn't find her. When she heard the girl in the yard said that she was in the Second Miss's Peach Blossom Garden, she hurried over and asked the eldest lady to see the old lady.
The eldest lady was a little worried about leaving Lin Rusi alone in the room, but she couldn't go against the old lady's wishes, so she asked Lin Rusi's personal maid Ruyu to take good care of Ruth, and then followed Mother Mo to the old lady's Xianglin Courtyard.
As soon as she arrived in the inner hall, she saw Feng Feixue sitting next to the old lady, talking and laughing with her.
She lowered her eyes, feeling uneasy, but then she put on a sad look and greeted the old lady.
When the old lady saw the eldest lady coming, she didn't even raise her eyelids. She just snorted lightly: "Take a seat!"
The eldest lady sat on the chair to the left of the old lady, and opposite her sat Feng Feixue.
She saw Feng Feixue wearing a pink wide-sleeved tulle skirt with a pink lotus embroidered on it, which was so lifelike that it made her take a few more glances.
The old lady got straight to the point: "Madam, I called you here today just to remind you that no matter whether the children of the Lin family are direct children or concubines, they are all your children. Since you are the mistress, you should behave like a mistress.
Don’t let the world see that Prime Minister Lin’s house treats children born from concubines improperly and treats children born from legitimate parents like treasures. This will definitely ruin the reputation of our Lin family, do you know?”
The eldest lady raised her eyes and glanced at Feng Feixue. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoxi did not dodge and smiled lightly at her, very kind and natural.
The eldest lady trembled for no reason, and she swallowed down what she was about to say to argue with the old lady, saying that Lin Rusi's arm was seriously injured.
She concealed her sad look, became dignified and kind, and waved towards Feng Feixue.
"Ruoxi, come to mother's side."
Feng Feixue walked over.
The eldest lady stretched out her hand and touched Ruoxi's dress. She finally remembered that this dress was specially set aside by the old lady among the spring dresses made of the best materials. She said she wanted to see which granddaughter was sensible.
After it pleased her, she changed it according to the size and gave it to whomever it wanted.
It seems that the old lady likes this concubine Feng Feixue very much, and she must express it.
She looked at Feng Feixue tenderly: "Ruoxi, it's because my mother was too busy and didn't care about you much. It's her fault. Today, my mother sent some of the better girls around her to your Ruoxiang Courtyard to take care of you.
, and mother will personally make some beautiful dresses for you. Summer is coming, and it’s time for you to change into some comfortable and beautiful dresses."
Feng Feixue smiled and nodded. When the old lady saw that the eldest lady had come to her senses, she no longer wanted to pursue the matter.
And Feng Feixue unconsciously reached out and touched her pretty face that had a small cut, which made the old lady suddenly frown and warned the eldest lady: "If you are trying to mistreat your concubine's daughter,
Don’t blame me for my ugly words, Prime Minister Lin won’t believe you anymore.”
The eldest lady nodded and responded respectfully, and then she left with the excuse of going back to take care of Ru Si. Seeing that the old lady was tired after a long day, Ruoxi also left Xianglin Courtyard.
On the way back, Qiu Yan lowered her head and muttered: "Miss Fourth, do you think the eldest lady will really listen to the old lady? Will she be good to you, Miss Fourth? And make so many new clothes? This was not done before.
Never before."
Feng Feixue gently twitched the corner of her lower lip, her lake-like eyes dark and gloomy: "Mother will definitely give me clothes, and I will also use clothes to give my mother a rare gift in return.
