C9 Wind-cold

Ever since the old granny had last visited Third Madame in private, the food in Lin Lai's courtyard had not been treated as food. Even though the food had returned to its original state, Lin Lai still went to the old lady's courtyard to eat.

Third Madame, on the other hand, had been quiet ever since the old lady had taught her a lesson.

Lin Yue saw that Lin Xin was still living her life as usual, and felt very uncomfortable. She kept running towards Xiang Li, making Third Madame's head grow bigger and bigger. The mother and daughter pair discussed and felt that Lin Lai had changed a lot recently. Third Madame kept telling Lin Yue not to provoke her during this period of time, and even though Lin Yue listened, she couldn't remember what she was thinking.

The days passed one by one, and after they went back last time, Xia Zhi asked Lin Xin why he didn't complain. Lin Xin looked at Xia Zhi with a smile and said, "The old lady is old and hopes that the family will get along well with her, but Third Madame's actions are already touching the old lady's bottom line. Who is the old lady, who has gone through a lifetime of rough times, can't she tell that it was done by Xiang Li Pavilion? She just didn't say anything, but the old lady will definitely scold Third Aunt."

Sure enough, the next morning, when Xia Zhi went to get more food, the maidservant passed the food to him with a smile.

As Xia Zhi looked at the food in his hand, his admiration for Lin Lai deepened. When she went back to tell Lin Lai, she only smiled faintly.

On this day, when Lin Xin came to look for the old granny for dinner again, she found no sound from within the room. Zhang mama came out and told Lin Xin that the old granny was not feeling well, so she went to sleep first and told Lin Xin to go eat by himself.

Lin Xin knew that even if he waited here, he might not be able to wait until the old granny woke up, so he bid farewell to Senior Servant Zhang and returned to the Snow Pavilion. In the end, not long after he sat down, Xia Zhi hurriedly ran over from outside, telling her that the old granny had caught a cold.

He rushed to the old lady's courtyard with Xia Zhi in tow.

The Southern Hill Estate was filled with people waiting anxiously for news. Lin Lai walked in and walked over to Yu Huai's side.

"Mother, how is Grandmother?"

When Yu Huai heard Lin Lai's voice, he gripped Lin Lai's trembling hand and said, "Just now, the doctor said that the old lady has an infectious cold, so she has to be isolated."

When Lin Lai heard the news, he almost stopped in his tracks all of a sudden. He anxiously looked at his mother.

"Mother, everything is fine. How could Grandmother get such a cold?"

Not long after, the doctor came out and gave Lin Qu Mao some instructions. Lin Qu Fu waved for a servant to follow him out.

When everyone heard that the old lady's illness was contagious, they all felt their hearts tremble, repeatedly saying that they had matters to attend to so they left the Southern Hill Estate. Only the mother and daughter stayed where they were.

"You're not going back?"

Lin Lai shook his head, looking at Lin Qufu with a petite and weak appearance.

"Dad, I want to stay behind and take care of Grandmother. Although there's a Senior Servant Zhang taking care of Grandmother here, she's already old. How can I let her stay up late to take care of Grandmother? I hope father can make me stay behind to take care of Grandmother."

At this moment, Lin Qufu suddenly felt that this daughter in front of him had become a completely different person, he sighed and said.

"You heard it too, your grandmother's disease is contagious, aren't you afraid?"

Lin Lai shook his head and nodded.

"I'm afraid of getting sick, but I'm also afraid of losing my grandmother. Father, let me stay behind to take care of my grandmother." Lin Xin looked at Lin Que Mao with determination, waiting for his answer.

"Alright, then you have to be extremely careful." He reached out and patted Lin Lai's shoulder.

"Then I hope Father can send Mother back."

Lin Qufu nodded and left with Yu Huai.

Lin Lai walked up to the old lady's bed and began to wipe her body with a cloth.

In her previous life, it wasn't that she didn't have the time to look after her patients, but she knew how to avoid getting sick. Thinking of this, Lin Lai's hands could not help but grip the cloth tightly. She would never let go of anyone who had harmed her in her past life. She wanted to personally destroy Lin Yue.

After days of constant care, finally, on a sunny morning, the old lady woke up. She looked at Lin Lai who was lying on the bed and touched her forehead.

At this moment, Zhang mama walked in and saw the old lady who was about to get up.

"Old granny …" Just as she said that, she saw the old lady raise her hand towards her mouth, signaling her not to wake Lin Xin up, but she still woke him up.

"Grandmother, you're awake?"

Lin Lai placed her hand on the old lady's forehead and touched it. It seemed that her fever had really subsided.

"Alright, I'm fine now. Go back and rest."

After Lin Xin left, the old lady half leaned on the bed while Zhang mama walked over with a bowl of water.

"Mistress, please don't say it. The reason you've been sick for this period of time is because the eldest young miss is here to service you."

"Has she been here all this time?"

"That's right. I've been here for three days, but I've never seen a young lady of the Shangguan family who was so good at taking care of people."

Hearing what Zhang mama said, the old lady nodded her head in satisfaction. It seemed like that girl had really changed.

"Take out one of my jade ruyi and give it to Eldest Miss."

"Alright." Zhang mama agreed.

Lin Lai had just returned to the courtyard when Zhang mama walked in.

"Miss, the madame gave this to you. Open it and have a look."

Lin Xin opened the box and a transparent jade ruyi appeared before her. She looked at Zhang mama in disbelief as she nodded with a smile.

After Senior Servant Zhang left, the news of Lin Xin receiving the jade ruyi was spread out.

When Lin Yue heard that Lin Lai had received a reward from the old lady, she could not help but grind her teeth in hatred. Once again, she broke the ornament in her room.

Lin Yue couldn't hold back her anger and ran over to the Snowy Pavilion to mock Lin Xin. Strangely enough, Lin Xin didn't warn Lin Yue anymore, but ran over to Lin Qufu while crying and complaining to him.

"You bullied me, I'm going to tell dad." Lin Lai ran to the door of the study, crying as he called out to Lin Qufu.

Not long after, Lin Qu Fu walked out, and Lin Lai ran over aggrieved.

"Dad, little sister bullied me. I took care of grandmother. Grandmother gave me a jade ruyi but didn't give it to little sister. So little sister came to slander me, saying that I had scheming." But I didn't. "

Coincidentally, Lin Yue, who dared to come, was also crying as she felt wronged. Lin Zhou, who was following behind her, also came up and shouted.

"You are just a big sister, why are you fighting with your little sister? Don't you know how to be humble to sisters?"

Seeing his two daughters crying and complaining, his head couldn't help but hurt. He happened to listen to Lin Zhou's words, warning Lin Lai to unite the sisters before leaving. Lin Lai watched with a wronged expression as Lin Qufu returned to his study, and then closed the door.

Lin Yue looked at Lin Lai with a victorious expression, mocking him nonstop.
