Yi Xin had told her before that the mother's poison wasn't difficult to cure, it was just that the way and the steps to cure it was more complicated.
After the poison was cured, his body would be severely injured. If he did not receive proper treatment, he might end up like Second Aunt, always bedridden. If his mother were to fall, then Concubine Su would probably follow Concubine Qiao's example in the long room and snatch the master away.
Ye Yuning still didn't have the actual power to control major events at home. The only thing she could do was guard against Concubine Su and not give him the appropriate opportunity. In the process, she would do her best to let Lady Wen recover and get rid of her illness.
To nurture one's body, aside from pharmacology, one's mood was also very important.
As a result, Ye Yuning had been coming to eat with Lady Wen everyday, and he would even pull her over to talk about some interesting things. But Ye Yuning realized that Lady Wen's smile was always on her face.
It was just that Ye Yuning was an obedient and sensible girl, causing Lady Wen to laugh. This warmth could not completely help Lady Wen get rid of the haze in her heart. As the First Wife of the bridal chamber, who knew how many things she carried on her body.
It was only until Ye Shenghe returned today that he saw a genuine smile on her face. For the sake of the appearance of a happy woman, he believed that when his father returned, his mother would definitely take good care of her illness and bring out all of her best condition.
Ye Yuning smiled knowingly, then left the room with Yi Xin and the rest. Nanny Liu was also smiling widely, as though she had become more relaxed.
Outside, a woman in a pink and amber dress was directing a few women.
One after another, the big boxes were brought into the courtyard. Ye Yuning heard the lady's voice, "The boxes are for the second room.
As if sensing movement, the woman turned and saw Ye Yuning and smiled.
"It's Third Miss!" It has been a long time since we last met, but the third miss has grown taller again! " The tone was intimate and ingratiating.
Ye Yuning couldn't remember who this person was, but she felt that he looked familiar. On the other hand, when Nanny Liu saw her, she opened her mouth and said: "Yi Xiang, you're the only one who came back with the old master?"
"Yes, Ya Rou is sick. Master has ordered her to stay at the magistrate court to recuperate. This time, I will be the one following."
Hearing the two of them talking, Ye Yuning suddenly remembered. Yi Xiang and Ya Rou were Ye Shenghe's other two aunts. The two of them had always been following Ye Shenghe around, taking care of his daily life.
Since Ye Yuning had only returned to Ye's Mansion at the age of ten, the number of times she saw them could be counted on one hand.
However, in his impression, Yi Xiang had an intelligent personality, but that Ya Rou was gentle and supple. Every time she saw Lady Wen, she would lower her head and not say anything. Ye Yuning did not understand the two of them, but Lady Wen trusted them somewhat.
After all, these two had followed Ye Shenghe for more than 10 years. If any of them were to go against Concubine Su, he would be the only one.
Even though they were both concubines, with a son and a daughter by his side, Concubine Su was the only one they could rely on.
Ye Yuning carefully thought back to her past life. She didn't have much impression of these two aunts, she only remembered that after her father died, the two had been chased out of the Ye's Mansion by Concubine Su.
Ye Yuning remembered one time, when Aunt Lai complained to Lady Wen about Concubine Su bullying Aunt Ya, but there was no evidence. Lady Wen tried to persuade her, but she didn't do anything to Concubine Su.
"If I remember correctly, it seems like it was Aunt Lai who said that Concubine Su wanted to kill Aunt Ya's child … But the mother called the doctor, saying that Aunt Ya was not pregnant. "Father thought that Aunt Ya lied and accused him of being pregnant in order to win a favor, so he punished her severely. She never entered her house again." Ye Yuning thought.
Aunt Lai said a few words to Nanny Liu before taking out a beautiful dowry box from the chest. "Third Miss, this is the jewelry that the old master ordered the servants to pick out, and he said it's a gift for the young miss of the mansion. "Your servant's eyes are shallow. If you don't choose well, then please forgive me, Third Young Miss."
Ye Yuning nodded her head and indicated that she should take the box. Opening the box, she saw a set of rubies and golden peonies, two golden hairpins, two jade steps, a pair of comb, a pair of coral earrings, pearl earrings and a pair of Tian Yu bracelets.
These pieces were worth a lot, and were of a new style, which Yin Zhou did not have. Ye Yuning could foresee that those sisters would definitely quarrel endlessly over these few pieces of jewelry.
Rubbing his head, Ye Yuning closed the box and indicated for Yi Xin to keep it carefully, "Thank you, Aunt."
Seeing that Ye Yuning's expression was indifferent without much joy, Aunt Huan could not help but to be confused.
Who in the average girl's family didn't like pretty jewelry? Even she was moved by these pieces of jewelry, not to mention those teenage girls, but Third Miss did not seem to care. Aunt Lai's heart skipped a beat and her smile became even more hearty.
Even though she was only an aunt, she could clearly see who was in charge of everything. She had never forgotten that Lady Wen had helped her in so many years.
Therefore, even though she had become an aunt, she still relied on Lady Wen's status as a servant to be naturally respectful to him. From the actions just now, it could be seen that Ye Yuning was not like the other arrogant young mistresses in the residence.
Lady Wen had always doted on Ye Yuning, but he didn't let her cultivate the temper of a young mistress.
He did not have any children of his own, and the only person that could contend against Concubine Su's pair of children was Ye Yuning alone. Seeing Ye Yuning being so indifferent, Aunt Huan felt a lot more at ease.
"Look at this servant's memory, I forgot the most important thing. This is a gift from the other misses in the residence, third miss. Master ordered this servant to keep it. " As she spoke, Aunt Huan took out a one-foot square box from a large box.
"This was personally selected by the old master. Third young mistress, what do you think?"
Ye Yuning looked at the engraved purple lotus on the box and could not help but feel curious.
Every time Dad brought back a present, it was different. Sometimes it was a local specialty, sometimes it was a new toy, and once he even brought back a pair of birds.
It was a pity that Ye Yuning did not know how to raise them. She cried for a long time. This time, what gift had Father prepared?
Ye Yuning opened the box and inside was a small and exquisite golden disc. The surface was transparent, and there were a few small pink gems embedded inside.
To say that it was a precious item, the material and shape of the item was a little too strange. This was the first time Ye Yuning had seen such a novel thing, she couldn't help but hold it in her hand and observe it. Seeing that, Aunt Huan could naturally tell that Ye Yuning liked her. She could not help but smile slightly, and waited for Ye Yuning to ask a question.
"What is this?" Ye Yuning asked in surprise.
