Chapter 32.2 - A Lord Turned Up Uninvited (1/2)

This time, what happened was that her maiden family was getting themselves a daughter-in-law. Because she worked at the General’s Mansion, she should’ve saved no small amount of money, therefore, someone wrote a letter to ask her to make a trip back home.

Originally, she thought that her Zhi’er asked her to attend the wedding feast due to filial piety. As a result, Nanny Song happily made the journey. Only then did she find out that none of the new bride’s family members were benevolent. They insisted on her bringing out twenty taels of silver. Otherwise, they wouldn’t allow the bride enter the husband’s home. Nanny Song’s younger brother and his wife passed away early, leaving only Zhi’er as her sole relative. How could she watch Zhi’er fail to take a wife.

Clenching her teeth, Nanny Song gave away the money she had prepared in order to purchase medicines for her own use. Finally, everyone moved forward with the wedding.

Nanny Song had originally prepared to properly take good care of her health during her short leave of absence, but because of this incident, the outcome was that she had no more money. She even became more tired, so not only had her illness not improved, it instead became increasingly severe.

If it wasn’t for her forcibly enduring, she wouldn’t have even been able to get out of her bed.

“Um, is Wet Nurse ill?”

Luo Qing Luan previously had not noticed, but now that she heard Nanny Song stammering as she spoke, she noticed that her complexion was somewhat poor.

Once she checked her pulse, Luo Qing Luan indeed determined that Wet Nurse has already suffered from rheumatism for many years. Each bout of rain or wind would cause her joints to ache, but Nanny Song had never mentioned it before, precisely because she didn’t want Luo Qing Luan to be worried.

Promptly asking Dai Yue to take out another hundred taels of silver, Luo Qing Laun saw that Nanny Song wanted to refuse again and immediately spoke sternly. “Wet nurse, I’m already no longer the previous me. This bit of money doesn’t count as much. If you don’t believe it, ask Dai Yue.”

Dai Yue nodded her head at once. “It’s true, Nanny Song, you should accept it. The mistress is quite formidable now. In but one month, she earned a lot of money.”

She stealthily neared Nanny Song’s ear and said softly, “Our mistress made several tens of thousands of taels, really.”

Shocked all over, Nanny Song almost didn’t dare to believe it as she looked at Luo Qing Luan. “My Lady, you really……”

Unable to accept it, this was just too inconceivable.

Formerly, their mistress had always been bullied by the side madam and eldest young lady. Don’t mention money, even her meals sometimes filled her up and sometimes left her hungry. Don’t even think about wearing new clothes. Now that she suddenly heard that their mistress made over several tens of thousands taels of silver, she simply felt like she was in a dream.

But Nanny Song knew that their mistress had always been pure and kindhearted and would absolutely not deceive her.

After hesitating for a long while, finally, both of her trembled as she took the money and placed it in her chest pocket. “Thank you, My Lady……thank you, My Lady……”

Her face was filled with that kind of radiant smile brimming with gratification, as if she finally saw a child who she protected gradually grow up, that kind of indescribable happiness.

“That’s right, Wet Nurse, the rheumatism on your body is very serious. I’ll help you provide treatment.” Luo Qing Luan prepared to cure Nanny Song’s illness, not wanting her to suffer anymore during her old age.

Able to clearly feel that their mistress of today had changed too much, Nanny Song simply didn’t dare to imagine what in the world had happened to their mistress during the month that she was away.

Watching Luo Qing Luan give her acupuncture treatment, even though each of those needles were so long, Nanny Song was not the least bit afraid, because she knew that her mistress certainly wouldn’t harm her.

Rheumatism, this kind of stubborn, chronic disease, unless the patient died, they would suffer quite a bit. As far as Luo Qing Luan was concerned, this disease was by no means not something that she could not manage.
