The Madam Hou drank every mouthful seriously, and stared at Qingluo without blinking. That gaze made the hand Qingluo was holding the bowl with, shake a little, and her body seemed to be on fire, but she forced herself not to reveal any flaws.
"Try it now and see if it's better." After feeding her half a bowl of water, only then did Qingluo open her mouth to ask Madam Hou. Madam Hou opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Qingluo thought that her mouth was still dry, so she decided to feed her more water. However, when she wanted to bring the bowl over again, she heard two words from Madam Hou's throat, "Min Yan?"
The water bowl in her hands dripped into a drop of water with a splash, causing ripples to form. Qingluo's tears caused everyone in the room to be stunned.
When they just discovered that Madam Hou was sick, Qingluo was very active. Everyone thought that she was soft on heart and just so happened to understand some medical skills.
"Qingluo?" When Princess Ning Yuan saw that Qingluo hadn't raised her head for a long time, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. What exactly was causing Qingluo to feel sad all of a sudden?
Madam Hou had just called out 'Min Yan', this was the name of the first daughter of the Hou Mansion. Princess Ning Yuan knew of this, but why was Qingluo crying when she heard this name? Princess Ning Yuan couldn't figure it out.
"I'm fine, I caused the Grand Princess to worry." Qingluo raised her head, her gaze clear and bright. No one could tell that there were tears in her bright eyes.
"Madam Hou, are you missing your daughter? No wonder, Miss Zhao is such an outstanding woman, just that, you have to restrain your grief. After all, what has passed is irreparable, Miss Zhao definitely does not wish to see you being so sad for her.
Qing Luo handed the bowl back to the little palace maid who had already flattened Madam Hou. She reached her hand into the thin blanket and held Madam Hou's hand.
His mother was only in her early thirties, but she already had white hair due to her unfilial daughter. She thought that before her accident, her mother loved to dress herself and her beautifully. Even if she didn't go out, she would still be in high spirits.
If there was a chance to go to the banquet, he would wish he could surpass the princess. At that time, his mother was so beautiful and gentle, as if she was a newlyweds. She was so young and energetic every day.
But now, was the pale and haggard woman lying on the bed still that beautiful woman? In less than two years of time, she had turned someone from young into old.
"I know, I know, Min Yan definitely doesn't like me to be like this, but I, I can't control myself, I think about her every day, and I think about her at all times, but she just disappeared just like that, my Min Yan!"
Madam Hou choked with grief, just as she was about to cry out loud, Qingluo timely called out to her, "Madam Hou, please grieve." Qingluo quickly helped her down her chest to ease her mood.
"There's a state dinner going on outside." When the sound of weeping spread out, it could be considered a complete reversal. "I know that Madam does not feel well, but there are many ways to love you."
"When she is here, we can give her love and let her enjoy it to her heart's content. When she is not here, we can give love to others and take her place to love the world."
"As far as I know, when Miss Min Yan was in the main hall, she would often help Master take care of those who were poor or sick. This is great love and is very admirable, and it was because I heard about Miss Min Yan's deeds that I started to study hard to become a doctor. I also want to help those who were poor."
Qing Luo's words caused Madam Hou's gaze to focus on her body.
"Madam Hou, you can turn your love for Miss Min Yan into love for them. If you can help them, even if it's just a little bit of help, it might just be enough to save their entire family."
Qingluo had already thought about this long ago. Ever since she found out that her mother was sick because of her death, she wanted to help her mother find something to do so that she wouldn't fall into her thoughts anymore.
"Oh? What Princess Wang Fei said is true, are you really learning medicine because of Min Yan? " Madam Hou's face was full of disbelief, but Qingluo nodded her head affirmatively.
"It's true, but I've always loved medical science since I was young. When there's a chance, I would also learn some, but I didn't put too much thought into it. The main focus is still on the medicinal food."
"As the saying goes, it's three parts medicine and three parts poison. I only thought that if I understood some medicine theories, I would try to eat as much as I could and drink less medicine. That would be better for my body."
Qingluo's attention was completely focused on her mother, so she didn't notice. When she said these words, the corner of Grand Princess Ning Yuan's mouth twitched. Others might not know, but she did.
For Seventh Bro, she had thoroughly investigated Zheng Qingluo. What kind of life did Qingluo have in the Weir Prefecture?
She didn't know what Princess Ning Yuan was thinking, but she was still trying her best to persuade her mother.
"However, when I heard that Miss Min Yan was helping those who are poor in the Enchantment Hall, and was even learning medical skills in order to help more people, I was truly shocked."
"A lady with such a noble status can think of the hardships of the people and work hard to change herself in order to do more. Why can't I do that? So I specially invited Mister to teach me more."
"When I have a deeper understanding of medicine, I like it even more. So it turns out that I can also understand so much. So, I also have the opportunity to save others."
"Just like a moment ago, I took advantage of my knowledge of medicine to save the Madam Hou. Then, would the Madam Hou be willing to use your power to save more people?"
If her mother had something that would attract her attention, would it make her miss herself less? Would it make her less miserable?
"He really is a child, you think too easily, Miss Zhao was just staying in the Sacred Hall and doing nothing, you don't know how hard it is for us women in the backyard to walk out and do something."
"What's more, if we stay in a place like this to help the poor, the spittle will drown us. Even if I'm a princess, I don't have the freedom to freely enter or leave those places."
Princess Ning Yuan felt that Qingluo's way of thinking was too naive. It was simply impossible.
"Yes, I have thought about it long ago. We can build a Charity Hall to specifically help the poor, divide men and women into two parts, or we can find some servants to replace us."
"Think about it, let's not talk about the number of poor people who have died from the natural disasters of water, snow, and drought. We can only talk about the number of poor people who have died due to fever and cold."
"It's just an illness that can be cured by drinking soup medicine, but they have no money. Since no one is willing to help them treat it for free, then we can prepare some cheap herbs in the Charity Hall during the high season of winter and spring."
"Don't you think it's better to let the poor people have a bowl of wine every day, and achieve the goal of resisting the patients and allowing them to survive? Life is precious, just as you feel sorry for the death of your daughter. "
"There are many other families' daughters who are dying outside. If we can help them with our hands, then they won't have to lose their daughters, their wives, and their husbands. That's good. It's just spending some money, but it'll make our lives more meaningful."
Even though Madam Hou was still in pain and his mind was not very clear, she still knew the benefits of this matter.
This little girl really had a good brain. This idea could earn her a lot of popularity. Even if the result didn't go as well as expected, it would only result in her losing some silver taels.
However, once they did such a good deed, they would gain some reputation among the commoners. This was to obtain the highest benefit at the least cost.
Thinking about it, since Min Yan had left, the Seventh Prince had never really taken any notice of him, causing the marquis to struggle in the imperial court. If he could fulfil's wish, and also help the marquis to raise his prestige, why not?
"Esteemed wangfei, your method sounds quite good, but why did you help me?" Since they were all rolling around in the backyard, Madam Hou was not a fool.
Not mentioning that Princess Yi had saved her today, just by giving her an idea, the favor she owed him was already huge. This was what Madam Hou did not understand the most, she admitted that she had nothing to do with Princess Yi, even if it was her own Zheng Family, they would not be able to get along with her.
As long as she could have more chances to be with her mother in the future, she was willing to pay any price. And this matter was indeed not something that Qingluo was interested in.
She really had thought about it very early on, when she was still Zhao Minyan. It was just that the her at that time didn't have the chance to do so because she was trapped in the Main Hall.
When she was reborn into Zheng Qingluo's body, she wouldn't be able to do this anymore. Now, she finally had the chance to do this. With this strength, she would be able to be with her mother.
She felt that things had gone extremely well. She would never let go of this opportunity. She had to seize it no matter what.
"I had thought about it since long ago, and coincidentally, Madam Hou encountered such an incident today. Furthermore, when I was treating Madam Hou, I thought about Miss Min Yan for a moment and wanted to help Madam."
