C52 Schemes

"Grand Lady." Lan Xiu walked over and helped the Grand Lady up. Then, she looked at Ruo Yin and asked, "Grand Lady, it's getting late. Why don't you let Third Miss stay and have breakfast together?"

"No, no, no. There's no need to trouble Aunt Lan Xiu. Ruo Yin can go back now." Lin Ruo Yin quickly waved her hand.

When the Grand Lady heard Lan Xiu's words, she sighed in her heart for Lan Xiu's considerate attitude. When she heard Ruo Yin's refusal, she said unhappily, "Ruo Yin is not willing to accompany me, this old woman, for breakfast?"

"Ancestor Grandmother, what are you talking about? How could Ruo Yin be unwilling?" Lin Ruo Yin quickly explained and looked at Lan Xiu awkwardly. "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Lan Xiu."

Lan Xiu still had that gentle smile on her face as she said, "It's not troublesome. This servant has already prepared it. Grand Lady and Third Miss, please enjoy it."

Because Lin Ruo Yin was here, besides the porridge and side dishes that the Grand Lady used every day, Lan Xiu had also specially prepared a few desserts, afraid that she would not be used to it.

"Ancestor Grandmother, this dessert is delicious. Ancestor Grandmother, try it." Lin Ruo Yin picked up a rabbit-shaped dessert and placed it on the plate in front of the Grand Lady.

The Grand Lady actually liked her grandson very much, especially Ruo Yin. Every time she came, she would make her happy and serve him very well. Now that she heard that she wanted to try the dessert, she happily picked it up and took a bite.

The sweet and sticky taste made the Grand Lady unconsciously frown, but she still smiled and said to Lin Ruo Yin, "Not bad, it's quite delicious."

Lan Xiu had been serving Grand Lady for so long that she naturally knew her taste. However, since Grand Lady didn't say anything, she couldn't say anything either.

"Ruo Yin, I remember that you like to eat this kind of dessert the most. Ancestor Grandmother, why don't you wait for Ruo Yin to accompany you?" Lin Ruo Yin said with a troubled expression.

Grand Lady naturally understood Lin Ruo Yin's concern. She patted her hand and said, "Alright, Ruo Yin, if you want to go, Ancestor Grandmother will accompany you."

"Thank you, Ancestor Grandmother." Lin Ruo Yin smiled happily. She then picked a few desserts and handed them to Lan Xiu. "Aunt Lan Xiu, can you help me put a food box? I'll bring it to Elder Sister."

Lin Ruo Xi's injuries were related to Lin Ruo Yin. Furthermore, everyone in the Lin Residence was saying that Lin Ruo Yin had set it up.

At this moment, if she were to go, she would definitely not see Lin Ruo Xi. However, if she went with Ancestor Grandmother, no matter how unwilling Lin Ruo Xi was, she would not refuse to entertain guests.

Lin Ruo Yin sighed in her heart. It was truly not a waste of her early morning to come here and put on such a show.

Following behind Grand Lady, Lin Ruo Yin entered Lin Ruo Xi's room. Originally, Lin Ruo Xi was very happy when she heard that Grand Lady was coming to visit her. However, when she saw the person following behind her, the smile on her face froze.

"Ruo Xi, what's wrong with you?" Grand Lady saw that she seemed to be in a daze and thought that she suddenly felt unwell. She quickly helped her back onto her feet and said, "You are injured, so don't move around. Forget about the formalities."

"Thank... thank you, Ancestor Grandmother." Lin Ruo Xi finally came back to her senses and smiled at Grand Lady.

"Sister? Are you feeling better?" Lin Ruo Yin walked forward with a concerned look on her face.

Lin Ruo Xi felt disgusted when she saw her pretentious worry on her face. However, she could only endure it since the Grand Lady was here. She raised her head and smiled, replying, "I'm much better now."

When the Grand Lady saw that the two of them were talking to each other in a friendly manner, she thought that they had already resolved the knot in their hearts. Thus, she said to Lin Ruo Xi, "Ruo Yin was afraid that you would misunderstand her, so she didn't dare to come here alone. That's why she dragged me here."

"Ancestor Grandmother." Lin Ruo Yin pulled Grand Lady's sleeve shyly, as if she was blaming Grand Lady for telling the truth.

Lin Ruo Xi smiled gently and said, "Sister, you are being too thoughtful. The past is the past. I won't take it to heart. I hope that you won't take it to heart too."

"No, no, how could I take it to heart?" Lin Ruo Yin smiled innocently. She shook the food container in her hand and said, "Ruo Yin brought some of my favorite snacks. When you have time, you can try them."

"Little sister, you have taken a lot of care." Lin Ruo Xi thanked her softly. However, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Grand Lady did not see it, but it didn't mean that Lin Ruo Yin didn't feel it. After all, she knew Lin Ruo Xi too well after their previous life.

While Grand Lady could not see, Lin Ruo Yin slightly raised the corner of her mouth and looked around before asking.

"Why isn't Qing He by my side? Did she go to serve the medicine? It's so early, I think you haven't eaten your medicine yet, right?"

Grand Lady also thought of this. Without waiting for Lin Ruo Xi to say anything, she shouted at the door, "Qing He."

Qing He heard the shout and hurriedly ran in. Lowering her head, she quietly looked around the people in the room before fixing her eyes on Grand Lady. "Grand Lady, what's the matter? Why are you calling me Qing He?"

"Where is your Miss's medicine? Is it still not done?" Grand Lady was a little angry. Why were these servants so unfaithful?

Medicine? The medicine had already been poured out. Who would have known that Grand Lady would come so early? What should she do now? If she had already drunk it, it was obvious that she had not eaten her meal yet. Qing He was thinking about how to answer.

"Ancestor Grandmother, the medicine is not done yet." Lin Ruo Xi saw that Qing He was so scared that she could not speak, so she could only say it herself. She originally thought that Grand Lady would leave after sitting for a while, but who would have thought that Grand Lady would say that she would wait for her to drink the medicine before leaving?

Qing He quickly went out to prepare the medicine for the Miss. Lin Ruo Yin took out some snacks for Lin Ruo Xi, "Sister, eat something before you take the medicine. Otherwise, it will be bad for your body."

Lin Ruo Xi took the snacks from Lin Ruo Yin's hands and thanked her. Then, she calmly ate it. However, she was actually extremely anxious in her heart. If Grand Lady did not leave soon, would she really drink the medicine? She was not sick at all. It should be fine to eat the medicine, right?

If she had known earlier, she would not have forced Qing He to catch those pills. It would have been better if she had just grabbed some tonics.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the medicine had yet to arrive. Grand Lady asked Lan Xiu to go and see what was going on, but Lin Ruo Yin took the initiative and said that she was going to take a look.

Without waiting for Grand Lady to speak, Lin Ruo Yin walked to the door and opened it. When she saw Qing He holding the medicine, she scolded, "Qing He, the medicine is ready. Why aren't you coming in? Hurry up, your Miss is waiting for you."

Qing He bit her lower lip and walked in with a firm heart. When she arrived at Lin Ruo Xi's bedside, she said softly, "Miss, the medicine is ready."

Lin Ruo Xi looked at the bowl of medicine in Qing He's hand and tried to pick it up several times, but she did not have the courage to do so. She did not want her body, which was originally fine, to suffer any more.
