The maid probably didn't expect me to change her face suddenly, and she was shocked and forgot to speak. I had already walked to her two steps and said sternly: "What's going on?!"

She was even more frightened and looked at me in horror: "So, so Miss Ruoshi took her out."

"What?" Han Ruoshi took Li'er out? I asked hurriedly: "How long have you been out?"

They glanced at each other and the other maid said, "It's probably an hour."

“…”

It's been an hour.

I immediately frowned.

The maids all looked at me carefully, and for a moment they didn't even dare to let out a breath. After a while, they passed by and didn't see me say anything else. One of them was smarter. He turned his eyes and said in a low voice: "Madam, do you want us to go out and find Miss Li to come back?"

“…”

It has been an hour since I was out, and Jinling is so big, how can I find it?

I was a little angry and a little depressed, and I shook my head and said, "Forget it, don't go find it. But you can watch it at any time. If Miss Li comes back, come and tell me immediately."

"yes."

"Okay, you guys go down."

"yes."

They saluted me and all stepped out carefully, but just now they left, a few maids came in one after another. This time, they brought me breakfast and set up a table with some congee and side dishes.

"Madam, this is the breakfast that Miss Ruoshi ordered to prepare for her."

I smiled and said, "Miss Ruoshi is so careful."

They smiled, turned around and brought a bowl in front of me. Inside were half a bowl of steaming soup, emitting a faint bitter taste.

I frowned slightly: "This is also prepared by Miss Ruoshi? What is it?"

"No, madam, this is what the young master ordered to prepare for the madam."

"Yuan Xiu?"

"Yes, the young master asked us to fry it and serve it to the lady while it's hot."

"What medicine is it?"

"Young Master didn't say this, but the prescription was given by the elder of the medicine."

“…”

I picked up the bowl of medicine and put it under my nose and smelled it. I could only vaguely smell the deer-carrying grass, the marijuana, and the angelica.

It seems to be - Sizi Tang?

It turns out he is...

I couldn't help but feel a little amused.

However, this is nothing. Speaking of which, I am not young, especially when he is already in his thirties, he is still Pei Yuanhao's second brother by ranking. The emperor has both children, but he has no son or daughter under his knees, which is indeed a bit unreasonable. Fortunately, Empress Yin is unconscious and is not by his side, otherwise the mother-in-law will definitely blame me, as a daughter-in-law.

However, since Yao Lao gave this prescription, it seems that he is also a little anxious to have fun with his grandchildren.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, while the two maids were still standing by the table, looking at me eagerly, without any intention of retreating.

I sighed and blew it gently twice. When the medicine cooled a little, I gusted it down.

Very bitter!

Although I was prepared in my heart, the taste of this medicine was enough for me to suffer. My whole face wrinkled and I could barely swallow it. Then I handed the empty bowl to one of the maids. She laughed as if she had completed the task, and then said, "Madam, please use it slowly."

After saying that, he withdrew with another maid.

Looking at their relaxed backs, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, then looked down at the side dishes on the table. Although it was colorful, the bitter smell of medicine made me lose my appetite. After retching for a few times, I got up and walked away.

However, the following time seemed to be even harder to pass on than that bowl of bitter medicine.

Even Susu was not there, and I was the only one left in the inner courtyard. I walked back and forth on the path in the forest for a while, but there was no news of Li'er's return.

Uncontrollably, the anxiety in my heart increased a little more.

When I returned to the room, I couldn't sit still, so I simply walked out of the inner courtyard. As soon as I crossed the bridge, I saw the servants and maids going back and forth one by one, so busy that they were not touching the ground. When I saw me, I saluted from afar and didn't even have time to say a word, so I left.

I stood at the bridge and watched the busy figures of those people, just like the flowing water under my feet, walking away.

It seems that I am the only one, the stubborn rock in the flowing water.

However, at this time, I didn't have much mood or time to think about these idle things. I slowly walked out. The servants who saw me who saw me finally stopped to salute and asked me what I had to do. I only asked them if they had come back, but they shook their heads and didn't see them.

My worries are getting heavier and heavier.

It was almost noon, and I stood at the gate, looking at the crowds passing through the open door, but Li Er and the others were never back. The maids finally realized something was wrong with me and walked up to me.

"Mrs. Is there anything wrong?"

"Mrs. Just tell us if you have something to do."

"If anything happens, let's go and invite Miss Zitong over now."

I looked at them and didn't know what to say for a moment. At this moment, a familiar figure walked in from outside the gate.

I looked closely and it was Li'er!

She crossed the threshold and happened to see me, and opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Mom, why are you here?"

I walked up a few steps and grabbed her arm: "Li'er, where have you been? Why are you back now?"

"I--"

Before she could finish her words, there was already a soft voice next to her saying, "Sister Qingying."

I looked up and saw Han Ruoshi walking into the door, looking at me with a smile.

"Miss Ruoshi."

"Li'er wanted to go to the riverside today. I saw that my sister hadn't gotten up yet. Maybe she was tired, so she decided to take her out by herself."

"ah……"

"I didn't tell my sister, it made you worry, it's mine, it's not."

She spoke sincerely, but I didn't know what to say. On the contrary, I, the mother, didn't care enough about my daughter. I lost her this last time, and this time I actually...

I was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Li'er in his arms raised his head and blinked his big eyes and said, "Mom, don't worry, I just went to the riverside for a while, and Aunt Ruoshi bought me some food, so I came back late."

Only then did I realize that she was still holding some candy cakes in her hand.

I couldn't help but say, "You can't eat too much sugar now, you're changing-"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a cough. When he looked up, Han Ruoshi was covering her mouth and coughing gently. Her originally fair and thin melon-shaped face turned red, and all the maids around him surrounded her: "Miss."

"Miss, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," she waved her hand gently: "I'm just a little tired, so I'll take me back to rest."

The maids hurriedly supported her and walked towards the other side, while walking, whispering: "Miss is in poor health, so she shouldn't be so tired."

"That's right, the lady is in charge of this mansion every day, so she should rest well."

...

When they walked away, Li'er and I stood at the door, and were a little stunned for a moment.

Outside the gate, there were still people coming and going, playing and hustle and bustle, but just apart from the door, the two of us were a little quiet. After a while, I looked down at her and saw that she was a little depressed and didn't say much. I thought for a while and said, "Mom, take you back to your room."

"Yes." She nodded obediently.

She went out for most of the day and went to the riverside. The hem of her skirt was covered with mud and dust. As soon as she returned to the room, a maid sent by Han Ruoshi to serve her in cleaning. I sat at the table in the middle of the room and watched them busy for a while. Finally, after finishing her work, she went up and asked, "Li'er, do you want to have dinner with your mother at noon?"

"No need for mother. Aunt Ruoshi bought me a lot of food on the street. I can't eat it anymore."

"oh."

I nodded, but still reminded her: "You are changing your teeth now, don't go out to eat randomly, so as not to make your teeth look bad when they grow."

After hearing this, she nodded seriously immediately, and then yawned heavily.

"Tired?"

"Yeah, I'm a little tired."

"Then you go to bed for a while."

"Okay." She turned around and walked to the bed, looked back at me: "Will mom be with me?"

I smiled and said, "Of course."

She smiled happily and showed a few big gaps in her mouth, but as if she realized this immediately, she immediately pursed her lips, climbed onto the bed, lay down and covered her quilt, and I sat next to her and kissed her forehead gently: "Go to sleep."

"Um……"
