Very quickly, it was time for lunch, and everyone at the table were thinking about food. Xiao Ting was enjoying her meal, and when Xiao Mei raised her head to look at her, she had already received a report that Xiao Ting had looked at the house, and logically speaking, she should be doing something.

But now that she didn't say a word, she didn't know what to do.

This was the tempo of chasing people away.

Xiao Ting smiled, and said: "Your highness, please come and pick me up later … …"

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the madame. "Why didn't you say so earlier when the prince came to pick you up?"

Then, he asked the First Lady to prepare.

Xiao Ting laughed silently before raising her leg to follow Xiao Mei. When he was about to pass her, she said: "I still have not thanked big sister for helping me clean the courtyard, and with big sister's dressing, I am indeed much quicker than before. It's just that there are some things that little sister needs to put down, if not little sister won't feel comfortable staying here."

To dare touch her things, who the hell was he?

With that, Xiao Ting went to see the Seventh Madame.

Only leaving behind Xiao Mei who was fuming, wishing that he could eat her.

"Hmph, we'll see."

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he immediately felt a stifling sensation in his heart.

Xiao Ting thought: Seventh Madame is seriously sick, the servant girl waiting in the courtyard actually disappeared without a trace, these people are truly people.

They walked all the way to the inner room. There was a sickly beauty lying on the bed, both her eyes closed in sleep. It was a hot day and a thick blanket covered her.

The window was shut tight, and beside the bed, there were actually two brazier pots. A wave of heat hit their faces.

Xiao Ting's brows slightly knitted. She walked forward a few steps and saw a bowl of soup on the round stool beside the bed.

"The windows are so tightly shut. I'm afraid even good people are sick."

Perhaps the room was too quiet, even though Xiao Ting's voice was not loud, it woke the beauty on the bed up.

Seventh Madame's small face was even whiter than paper. She had lost a lot of weight and her eyes were sunken in, making her look even larger. But now, she was looking at her without any spirit.

Her lips were dry and covered in layers of white skin. She seemed to want to speak, but when she opened her mouth, no words came out.

"Seventh Madame, quickly lie down."

Xiao Ting went forward to help her lie down, and when she came in contact with her hand, she was startled. Why was her hand so cold, like a dead person.

After pouring some warm water into the bottle, Xiao Ting helped the Seventh Madame use it. During this time, not a single person came in.

After a long while, Seventh Madame finally spoke, "six girls is back, how is Xin'er?"

The day before yesterday, she was the one who asked the master to bring Small Ten to find Xiao Ting to play, she was afraid that the child would see her like this.

Xiao Ting knew what she was worried about and calmed her heart, "Don't worry, the two of them are very good since he is playing with the young son in the Duke Palaces."

"Seventh Madame, this disease of yours?" Xiao Ting couldn't help but ask her.

Seventh Madame shook her head and said, "Now that six girls has become an imperial concubine, Sister Four can finally be at ease."

The Fourth Sister she was talking about was the original owner's birth mother.

Seeing that she was not willing to talk about it, Xiao Ting did not ask anymore, and only told her to rest well.

Seventh Madame did not agree, she talked to about some family matters, and Xiao Ting prepared to leave.

It could be seen that Seventh Madame only had a few days left.

Before Xiao Ting left, Seventh Madame held her hand and said: "six girls, can I ask of you something?"

"Go ahead."

"Can you let Xin Er leave this place?"

Facing her hopeful gaze, Xiao Ting did not know how to reply. Small Ten was the young master of the Xiao Mansion, there would naturally be people taking care of him, and his father would also take care of him.

The Seventh Madame also felt that her request was going too far and explained, "I, I mean, before he is ten years old, can you take care of him for me? Don't let him stay in this mansion."

Xiao Ting seemed to be deep in thought. Just as she walked out of the courtyard, she met the three girls, Xiao Ya.

Xiao Ya first looked at the courtyard. After confirming that it was where her mother lived, she sweetly called Sixth Sister and entered the courtyard.

Xiao Ting and the rest had only walked a few steps when they heard Xiao Ya's screams from the inside.

"Don't be so long-winded. I know what I'm doing."

"Do I count on you without myself?"

"Don't worry about me. Just focus on yourself..."

Thinking about how Hong Shao told him two days ago that the Third Miss Xiao Ya was not actually from the Seventh Madame, nor was she the Master's daughter, very few people knew about this matter, even Xiao Ya herself did not know.

Normally, Seventh Madame did not interact with many people, but she was very low key, and Master rarely came to her courtyard, so First Lady did not pay attention to her, but ever since the Tenth Gongzi was born, she had changed.

That was the only concubine in the house, other than the son of the Eldest Young Master of the First Lady, who had given birth to a boy.

Therefore, Seventh Madame's illness was related to her!

Although Xiao Ting was not very familiar with the matters behind the house, she was clear about it now.

The reason the Seventh Madame asked her to take care of the Small Ten was probably because she was afraid that the First Lady would harm the Small Ten.
