After returning to the small courtyard, Ye Yuning embroidered another half a day of flowers, and when it was time for lunch, she stood up and headed towards the main house.

For the past few days, Ye Yuning had been eating with Lady Wen. Firstly, she wanted to spend more time with Lady Wen, and secondly, because Lady Wen's appetite had been poor recently. If she did not advise him to eat every meal, Lady Wen would eat very little.

"Mom, this is the osmanthus fish that I asked the kitchen to prepare specially for you. Please try it." Ye Yuning gave Lady Wen some fish.

Lady Wen's face turned yellow as she took a bite out of her bowl of fish. This meal lasted for almost an hour, and most of the time Ye Yuning was thinking of ways to make Lady Wen eat more.

But even so, Lady Wen only used half a bowl of rice to push it away and did not eat anymore. Ye Yuning did not insist, but she was extremely worried.

accompanied Lady Wen in speaking to her, and after she fell asleep, she quietly left the room.

Nanny Liu was busy clearing the table with a few servants, when Ye Yuning called Nanny Liu to the side and asked, "Mother, your appetite has been depressing for the past few days, and your body is better than nothing at all. What's going on?"

"This old servant isn't sure either." Speaking of which, Nanny Liu also had a face full of worry.

"Has mother eaten anything else in the past few days?" Ye Yuning asked in a low voice.

Nanny Liu thought about it carefully, and said: "Madam's breakfast is a first class porridge and a few smaller dishes. Lunch and dinner are the same as Third Miss's, we will also use a bowl of Swallow's Nest porridge before going to bed …"

"Wait! Swallow's Nest Porridge? " Ye Yuning suddenly interrupted her.

Nanny Liu nodded her head: "That day, after the doctor visited, he said that Madam's body was weak and that she should eat some bird's nest to nourish her body. Third Miss, what's wrong? "

Ye Yuning bitterly clapped her hands and used all her strength to suppress the anger in her heart. Right now, Ye Yuying did not have that kind of guts. The one doing this was probably her mother, Aunt Liu.

No matter who it was, the bird's nest couldn't be eaten anymore.

"Who cooked the nest?" Ye Yuning asked.

Nanny Liu did not know what happened, but seeing Ye Yuning's expression she knew that the situation was bad, and immediately said: "It's Qian Pi."

There were four first-class maids by Lady Wen's side. Wan Xiao and the Myriad Spirit had been serving Lady Wen closely, while Qian Pi and Qian Yao were in charge of food for Lady Wen. The four of them had served Lady Wen for many years.

Ye Yuning's eyes moved, she guessed that the person beside his mother had sold her out, and couldn't help but be enraged. However, she couldn't act rashly now, lest she alert the enemy.

"Nanny Liu, mom's appetite for the next few days is not good. I think we should eat the bird's nest porridge and exchange it for green bean porridge!" Ye Yuning instructed.

Nanny Liu did not doubt him and nodded.

Ye Yuning gave a few more instructions before she brought the servant to leave.

On the way back to the courtyard, Ye Yuning was thinking about how to find the traitor beside Lady Wen. His brows were knitted tightly, and he didn't pay any attention to the road beneath his feet.

Halfway through, a shrill cry suddenly sounded.

Ye Yuning was shocked, she raised her head, only to see a black shadow jumping out from behind a tree, pouncing straight towards her.

"Miss!" Fei Xiu turned pale with fright, and pulled on Ye Yuning's sleeve. Ye Yuning was pulled so far that she could not even stand straight, and she retreated a few steps.

The black shadow fell to the ground, revealing its true form. It was a black cat. This black cat was completely black, its eyes were green like the devil's fire, staring straight at Ye Yuning.

Ye Yuning was shocked, and almost fell to the ground.

"Is Miss alright?" Fei Xiu's heart still palpitated. She could see clearly that the black cat's claws were sharp, as if they still had traces of blood on them.

Ye Yuning caressed her chest and shook her head, "I'm fine, I was just shocked. Where did this black cat come from? Is someone raising a cat in our house? "

"This servant doesn't know either. It's probably from the kitchen, right?" Fei Xiu shook her head.

Ye Yuning saw that the black cat had bent its back and was very wary of the two of them, so she couldn't help but feel that it was strange.

"Look, Fei Xiu, this cat seems to be injured!" Fei Xiu looked closer, and sure enough, she saw that the black cat's front paws were injured, a few of its nails had actually been cut by someone, and the blood on them was extremely pitiful.

"Who was so ruthless as to actually pull out the cat's claws?" Fei Xiu could not help but ask.

As they spoke, Fei Xiu took a few steps forward, wanting to pick up the black cat. However, the black cat continued to grit its teeth, and from its roar came out huffing sounds, as if it was threatening Fei Xiu, but also threatening him.

Seeing that, Ye Yuning could not help but squat down and waved towards the black cat, "Little Cat be good, come here, we will not hurt you."

It was probably because Ye Yuning's tone was very gentle, after hesitating for a long while, the black cat took a few steps closer to Ye Yuning.

Ye Yuning caressed the black cat's head, revealing a smile: "Good girl, you're really adorable, why don't you come with me? "After that, no one will dare to hurt you anymore."

The black cat seemed to understand what Ye Yuning was saying and issued a low cat meow towards her.

Ye Yuning took the chance and carried it in her arms.

"Let's go!" When Ye Yuning carried the black cat back to the small courtyard, all the servants in the room were stunned.

Bai Yi sized up this lump of black-furred little thing and couldn't help but poke at it with his finger. In the end, the black cat meow meow opened its mouth and almost bit her finger.

"This fellow is so fierce!" Miss, do you really want to raise it? " Bai Yi said with a face full of displeasure.

Ye Yuning nodded her head, "Go and get some food, and make a nest for it, from now on, let it rest in my room."

Bai Lan immediately responded and ran out, and in a moment she was back with a bowl of leftover food. Ye Yuning did not stay to eat lunch, the food was left over from the servants and could not be considered to be exquisite.

But when Ye Yuning brought the rice with the egg soup over to the black cat, it immediately started to wolf down.

"How pitiful, it seems like I haven't eaten for many days." Bai Yi immediately felt sympathetic and said while squatting at the side.

Ye Yuning fed it as she rubbed its head. After it finished eating, the black cat licked its lips, raised its head and looked at Ye Yuning with its pair of green eyes, as if it was not full yet.

"Be good, eat these cushions first. I'll give you something good to eat tonight." Ye Yuning carried it, used the handkerchief to wipe the dirt off its body, and indicated the servant to bring the medicine over.

The black cat had eaten its fill and laid in Ye Yuning's embrace, allowing her to bandage it up. Bai Lan carried a small box into the house and placed it inside Ye Yuning's room, then placed it on top of a few pieces of cloth pads.

Ye Yuning placed the sleeping black cat back into the box. Seeing that it was sleeping soundly, she then got up and walked out of the room.
