Lian'er's smile before she fainted deeply hurt Bing'er's heart, making her chest hurt unbearably. She held her chest that was in pain and knelt in front of Lian'er and cried softly. Even though Lian'er had already fainted from the pain, she still smiled at her to not let her worry, "Sorry Lian'er, sorry." Bing'er knelt down and took a step forward, holding Lian's hand tightly. She swore to herself that as long as she found evidence of the eldest wife's murder, she would bring Lian'er out of the house and into her investigation office.
After a while, the First Wife slowly walked into the yard with Min's help. Behind them were a dozen guards.
The First Lady frowned slightly and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Her eyes were filled with loathing.
She slowly walked to the front of the wooden shelf and coldly looked at the two men standing next to it. Then, she ordered the guards standing behind her, "Bring the young maid away and ask the doctor to treat her illness."
"Yes, ma'am." Several guards stepped forward and gently lifted the unconscious Lian who was lying on the wooden shelf up before walking out of the small courtyard.
"Bring Xiaofang here for me." The first lady ordered the guards indifferently.
"Yes." A few guards respectfully accepted the order and left.
Bing'er kneeled down on the ground and turned around to face the first lady, looking at her gratefully. "This servant thanks the first lady." "One day, no matter what the Madam commands this servant to do, this servant will definitely go through fire and water without any hesitation."
She stretched out her hands to help Bing'er who was kneeling on the ground. With a gentle expression, she looked at Bing'er and asked, "I don't want you to go through fire and water, and you will be my personal servant. Are you willing?"
Bing-Er looked flattered, "My lady, how could I have the honor of being by your side?" He secretly rejoiced in his heart. If she could stay by his wife's side, she would have the chance to find out where the wound on his wife's hand came from, and even more so, whether the owner of that thread was her wife or not.
A'Min couldn't help but look at the first wife in surprise. She couldn't help but ask, "Madam, why do you want a lowly maid as your personal maid?"
The first wife let go of Bing'er's hand and turned back to look coldly at A-Min. She said with extreme displeasure, "Don't tell me I have to ask for your permission regarding my decision?"
"This servant doesn't dare, this servant didn't mean that." Ah Min quickly lowered her head and explained.
The first wife shot a cold glance at Ah Min, before turning her head towards Bing'er with a smile. "If I say you have the qualifications, then you have."
Bing-Er couldn't help but admire how quickly the eldest lady's face changed. She looked at A-Min expressionlessly, but turned her head to look at her with a smile. The First Lady was not a simple person! However, Bing'er looked at the first wife with joy and gratitude. She bowed slightly towards the first wife and said, "I thank you, the first wife. I will do my best to serve you."
The first wife looked at Bing'er and nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, I'll tell the steward tomorrow to bring you to my side."
"Thank you, Doctor." Bing'er thanked the Madam once again.
The first lady looked at Bing-Er blandly and said, "Stand up. You don't have to be so polite in front of me from now on."
"Yes, Madam." Bing-Er smiled gratefully at the eldest lady, and paused for a while. She lowered her head with a troubled face, not daring to look at the eldest lady, "My lady, Lian'er is seriously injured. This servant wants to go back and see her."
"Go." The first lady agreed without a second thought that Bing'er should go see Lian'er.
"Thank you, Madam." Bing-Er bowed to the lady and ran out of the yard.
Bing-Er just ran out of the yard and saw Sister Fang being carried by some guards to the yard.
Bing'er had already run far away from Sister Fang, but she stopped and turned back to face her. "I told you a long time ago, don't be too extreme, you're too ruthless." "Although you are the chief servant of the Prime Minister's Estate, you are still just a lowly servant like us." After finishing her sentence, Bing'er turned around and ran back to her and Lian'er's place. Only Sister Fang looked at her leaving figure coldly.
Bing-Er pushed the door gently and walked into the room. She could smell the strong scent of Chinese herbal medicine in her nose. An elderly doctor got up from the bed, packed his things, and prepared to leave.
Bing-Er walked quietly to the doctor and asked softly, "Doctor, how is Lian's injury?"
The first wife said to Bing'er while she was packing her things, "Although Miss Lian's wound is very serious, but fortunately, her bones and muscles aren't injured. As long as she takes medicine regularly and recovers for a period of time, her injuries will slowly recover. It's just that for now, she won't be able to do any heavy work."
When Bing-Er heard that Lian'er wasn't in danger, she felt relieved. She looked at the doctor gratefully and took out the only silver she had and put it in his hand. "Thank you." Doctor. "
The doctor returned the silver back to Bing'er's hand, and turned to look at Lian'er who was lying on the bed. He sighed, "I appreciate your kindness, but you should take the silver back. Leave a mark for this girl to buy some food."
Bing-Er held the silver the doctor had given her and felt grateful. "Thank you, doctor."
After the old doctor had packed up all his belongings, he quietly instructed Bing'er on how to make the medicine and left the room.
Bing'er couldn't help staring at the old doctor's back. Was this the heart of a doctor?
After seeing the old doctor off, Bing-Er sat on the bed and looked at Lian'er in pain. She secretly blamed herself for being too reckless this time. If it wasn't for Lian'er, she might have been the one seriously injured. She might even be beaten to death by those two burly men.
Bing-Er held the cold hand that Lian'er put on the blanket tightly. She swore that she would take Lian'er and leave this place.
Bing-Er stayed by Lian'er's side all night, taking care of her. She didn't fall asleep until the sky had just revealed her white belly.
"Bing-Er?" [Bing-Er?] There was a light knock on the door that woke Bing-Er up.
Bing-Er rubbed her eyes and shook her head. She realized that she had fallen asleep. She glanced at the sleeping Lian'er, then quietly walked to the door and opened it. Before the other party could say anything, she placed her index finger on her lips and said to the servant girl standing by the door, "Shh." At the same time, he tilted his body to let the young maid see Lian'er, who was sleeping on the bed.
