Chapter 473: Chapter 475: Just Want to Hold You Back Chapter 473: Chapter 475: Just Want to Hold You Back Mada ng’s previously smiling face grew stern.
Not because she didn’t like the two granddaughters, on the contrary, she always enjoyed having children bustling around her.
What vexed her was that they could hardly bring themselves to visit her early on normal days but were prompt today just to impress others.
With this pretence at play, it would be peculiar if she wasn’t annoyed.
During the conversation, Miss ng Jinse and second Miss ng Jinxia walked in.
Bai Ruozhu quickly admired the two girls.
Miss ng Jinse was dramatically beautiful; she was not only the eldest legitimate daughter of ng Liangshen but also fortunately inherited the best traits from both her parents.
At the re age of fourteen, she had already grown into a beautiful girl.
Of course, Bai Ruozhu learnt all this from Nanny Lu’s chit-chats.
Without any maid arranged by Mada ng for herself, she preferred taking care of her own child and herself instead.
Having soone else bustling around her would just make her uncomfortable, besides, it was improbable that she’d ask a maid about such matters.
As for the Second Miss ng Jinxia by her side, Mada ng was also quite fond of her.
At the young age of thirteen, she was gentle, earnestly listened when soone conversed with her, and always wore a soft smile on her face, but she was not born of the first wife.
“Granny, what were you all talking about so early in the morning?” ng Jinse walked to Mada ng, grabbed her arm and coquettishly asked.
Regardless of her displeasures in mind, Mada ng belonged to the ng Family, and she didn’t want to bla the children as their behaviour was perhaps directed by the adults.
“Miss Bai was instructing about how to stay healthy.
I’m old now, not physically well.” Mada ng sighed as she spoke.
ng Jinse glanced at Bai Ruozhu who instantly bowed to show respect to her and second Miss, saying, “I’m honoured to et you, Elder and Younger Miss.”
“Oh, so you must be the female doctor.” ng Jinse happily said, but a flash of surprise quickly slipped away from her eyes, however, she was quick to hide it.
Second Miss being shy gave a nod and shyly smiled towards Bai Ruozhu.
Observing the situation, Bai Ruozhu stood up and told Mada ng, “Mada, I should take my leave now.” Completing her sentence, she then turned to the two girls and said, “Elder and Younger Misses, I should go now to tend to my child.”
Hearing the words ‘tend to my child’, ng Jinse exposed an evident look of disdain.
Whether she felt Bai Ruozu was humiliating herself talking about her motherhood or bringing down her own value by bringing up her maternal responsibilities, nobody knew.
But soon after, ng Jinse spread a smile across her face, saying, “Miss Bai, don’t rush, I’ve had so acne recently, can you take a look for ?”
Bai Ruozhu having no other choice agreed to diagnose her.
She found out that Jense had a minor level of Qi deficiency with no apparent signs of acne; still, she patiently instructed her about matters she should be careful about.
“Thank you, sister Bai.
Help my younger sister, too.
She complained of chest pain a few days back.” ng Jinse again requested.
Bai Ruozhu lowered her eyes; the older Miss was intentionally delaying her, it seed.
“Sure.” She replied, checking the pulse of the younger sister.
She wasn’t in a hurry.
If she couldn’t punctually show up for her lesson, the one who should be anxious would be ng Liangshen.
He should take note of how the ladies of his family were causing a delay.
Examining ng Jinxia’s pulse, Bai Ruozhu frowned slightly.
Mada ng, despite not being engaged in affairs, was a sharp woman and instantly noticed Bai Ruozhu’s change of expression, asking anxiously, “What is it?
Is there sothing wrong?”
Bai Ruozhu glanced at the second Miss, the young girl appearing very calm, only a bare hint of worry hiding in her eyes.
Since she was naturally not cheerful she might feel upset if Bai Ruoshu directly told her about her health condition, which would worsen her situation.
“No, nothing really.
You just need to have a good rest and not to worry too much.” Bai Ruozhu gently smiled.
Mada ng glanced at her, and although she found it strange, she asked no further.
“The child must be hungry by now.
You should rush.” Knowing Bai Ruozhu had work to do, Mada ng directly intervened.
However, ng Jinse held Bai Ruozhu’s back, saying to Mada ng with a smile, “Granny, shouldn’t Miss Bai be allowed to nurse her child in our ear room?
As soon as she finishes, we can all have breakfast together.
After all, we hit it off from the mont we t, she can keep company.”
Bai Ruozhu was wondering the motive behind the older Miss holding her back.
Probably her mother-in-law, Mada ng, disliked her and the older Miss wanted to humiliate her given the opportunity.
Sothing stirred in Mada ng’s face, thinking of saying sothing.
Just then, a maid announced the second master, his wife and their son, and third daughter had co to greet Mada ng.
Hearing the word ‘second’ multiple tis made Bai Ruozhu secretly mock them.
Was everyone from this room a fool?
But thinking again, even in her family, she had to accept her parents were the second master and his wife and her second brother was the second son; at least, she was not the second daughter.
With the arrival of other mbers, it was not appropriate for Bai Ruozhu to leave suddenly.
After they all greeted Mada ng, she introduced Bai Ruozhu to the second room’s family.
Holding Dengdeng, she courteously greeted everyone.
Subsequently, ng JInse initiated a conversation with her even insisting she join them for breakfast.
Bai Ruozhu had already eaten, but given ng Jinse’s cordiality, she couldn’t turn down the offer.
Soon, the Mada ng of the house, Wang Miaoshuang arrived, maintaining her usual stern expression.
Seeing a room full of people, she said, “Seems like I am late today.”
Mada ng laughed lightly, replying, “You’re not late, your daughters arrived exceptionally early to show their respects today.”
While ng Jinse didn’t react, ng Jinxia blushed faintly, lowering her head slightly.
“Ruozhu, you may leave if you have work to do.” Mada ng, observing the ti, discreetly signalled Nanny Lu.
Affairs of the Imperial Court weren’t to be taken lightly.
Wang Miaoshuang’s face twitched, and she suggested, “Since Mada ng likes Miss Bai, why don’t we have a al together?
She shouldn’t feel awkward here.”
Secretly, Bai Ruozhu pursed her lips, thinking, “Why didn’t you feel awkward when you scolded the day before yesterday?”
Guessing Wang Miaoshuang’s intention, Mada ng’s face turned sour.
Regardless, she didn’t burst out in anger but after thinking for a mont, she said, “Ruozhu has to prepare my dicine.
If you want to chat with her, you could do so later.
Let’s not delay her service for .”
With that being said, nobody could insist Bai Ruozhu stay.
After all, Mada ng’s dical treatnt was a top priority.
The second Mada’s eyes flickered, and chuckling, she said, “Of course, Mada ng’s dicine is more important.
Dr Bai, we are indebted to you.”
Bai Ruozhu respectfully bid farewell to everyone, carrying a clueless Dengdeng out of the room.
Taking out her handkerchief, she wiped his drool, grumbling, “Naughty boy, not trying to sneak a peek at their breakfast, are you?
In any case, you can’t eat, you’ll feel more uncomfortable if you see it, won’t you?”
Nanny Lu, standing beside them, couldn’t help but chuckle, “Stop teasing him; he is teething, that’s why he’s drooling.
Even Master ng was the sa during his childhood.”
Even though Bai Ruozhu was a doctor, this was her first ti being a mother.
Only after Nanny Lu’s reminiscence that she recalled, yes, it was indeed teething ti for Dengdeng.
