11 An Yuanzhi (1/2)
Once the medicine was ready, An Jinxiu personally fed the bowl of medicine to Lady Xiu. After about an hour, Lady Xiu began to sweat, and she also began to wake up a little.
”Mother,” An Jinxiu called out to her several times.
”Ah Jin?” After waking up from her illness, when Lady Xiu saw the person in front of her, she no longer called her second miss. Instead, she called her name 'An Jin' after her heart.
”Sigh.” An Jinxiu responded and said to Aunt Xiu, ”Mother, Yuan Zhi is here as well.”
”Yuan Zhi?”
”Mother,” An Yuanzhi hurriedly responded when he heard Lady Xiu call out his name.
”What, what's wrong with me?” Lady Xiu still didn't know what had happened to her.
As An Jinxiu asked Zi Yuan to fetch more hot water to wash her, she smiled at her, ”Mother, did you remove a quilt last night? How did you get a cold? ”But it scared me and Yuan Zhi to death.”
An Yuanzhi also asked, ”Mother, how did you get the chill? Is it too cold in this room? ”
”I'm sick?” At this moment, Lady Xiu had completely woken up. Seeing that it was An Jin who was sitting on her bed, she stared at her for a long time before believing that this girl was really An Jin. ”Second Miss, how can I let you watch over me?”
An Jinxiu quickly pressed down her mother and said, ”My mother is sick. How can I not come?”
At this moment, Zi Yuan had gotten some hot water. Seeing that Lady Xiu had woken up, she also said happily, ”It's good that Lady Xiu has woken up. Young Miss and the Fifth Young Master have been keeping watch over Aunt for the whole morning.”
An Jinxiu didn't want to allow Lady Xiu to speak any further, so she didn't say anything else. Together with Zi Yuan, she helped her to get up.
An Yuanzhi couldn't help, so he said, ”I'll go check out the porridge on the stove,” and walked out.
”What kind of porridge is the Fifth Young Master looking at?” Lady Xiu asked in a low voice.
An Jinxiu said, ”Mom hasn't eaten since the morning. Yuan Zhi has built a stove in the corridor and is making congee for mom.”
”How can that be?” When Aunt Xiu heard that, she almost burst into tears. ”How can you let a young master like him do such a thing? If the people in the manor knew about this, they would all be laughing at him! ”
An Jinxiu said, ”Then I'll go out and take a look.”
Aunt Xiu became even more anxious. ”No,” she grabbed An Jin's hand and said, ”You are a young lady, you can't do something like that! This won't do! ”
Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to start a fight, Zi Yuan quickly ran outside and said, ”Then this servant will go take a look. Today, I must let this concubine have a taste of Zi Yuan's craftsmanship.”
”I can't afford it,” Aunt Xiu suddenly thought of something and wailed at An Jin, ”How come you guys came to serve me? It's all because of the young miss and the young master of this house, and I've harmed all of you! ”
”What did Mother say?” An Jinxiu laid Aunt Xiu down on her bed and smiled, ”There's no mother. Yuan Zhi and I still can't bear to be human. My daughter needs to kowtow and say thank you to my mother.”
Lady Xiu sighed.
”Mother!” An Jinxiu took out the skills she used to have when she was pestering people, and coquettishly called her mom.
Lady Xiu forced a smile. What could she do if she didn't? Tears in front of her daughter?
”Mother, please be at ease.” An Jin comforted her. ”Yuan Zhi will definitely have great prospects in the future. Mother's good days are yet to come.”
Aunt Xiu sighed. ”As long as you and Yuan Zhi are good enough, Aunt won't ask for anything else. Second Miss, did you not say anything when you came to the aunt's place? ”
