Chapter 50: Chapter 52 Miss’s Favor Chapter 50: Chapter 52 Miss’s Favor Nanny Ding dared not fabricate stories about Qin Liuxi. Firstly, as a re servant, even one in Old Mrs. Qin’s entourage, she had no place to gossip about her masters.
Furthermore, the display of Qin Liuxi’s dical skills alone proved her remarkable abilities, and Nanny Ding, being no fool, naturally understood that such a person was not to be offended.
Thirdly, although Qin Liuxi was distant and lukewarm towards Old Mrs. Qin and others, all the arrangents she had made were impeccable.
Moreover, the young miss had been sent to the old residence to be fostered alone since childhood, separated from the Qin family. Wasn’t it perfectly normal for her to lack closeness with them?
Could one really expect soone who did not grow up in a large family to have no barriers or distance, to be close and warm, after more than a decade? Even a saint couldn’t achieve that, right?
In fact, those who do behave that way are truly frightening; it shows that the person can endure greatly and hide their true self.
Nanny Ding carefully observed Old Mrs. Qin’s mood and said warmly, “Don’t be too hard on the young miss. She has been away from ho for so many years. Not to ntion you and Lady, even the younger masters and mistresses—she hasn’t t any of them; how can she be expected to be close?”
Old Mrs. Qin fell silent.
“The young miss may be a reserved and indifferent person, but she does have filial piety towards you. Look, she was even worried about your health before she left!”
Old Mrs. Qin’s face softened upon hearing this, as it was indeed undeniable.
“And as for Third Madam, she is very concerned about her, too. Ju’er told that she privately treated Third Madam and even instructed Li Dagui’s family to prepare those nourishing redies for her, all specially made. If she didn’t care, why would soone her age think of doing such things?” Nanny Ding sighed softly. “What convinces most of her care is for the newborn little masters. I heard she went to the Daoist Temple specifically to get an exorcism and safety jade buckle for them, which is an energized Magic Artifact.”
Old Mrs. Qin’s face felt warm as she glanced at the old nanny who had followed her for many years and said, “You old thing, how many benefits has she given you for you to be speaking well of her everywhere after just a few days?”
Nanny Ding gave a bitter smile: “How could I? But seeing things as they are, I was afraid you might dwell on it too deeply and harm your health, so I spoke the candid truth.”
Old Mrs. Qin let out a sigh, “I am getting senile.”
“Don’t say such things. After so many years apart, it’s still unfamiliar. As you spend more ti together, affection will naturally develop,” Nanny Ding hastened to comfort.
“Mmm,” Old Mrs. Qin’s voice was very low, her gaze distant, “I’m just afraid I don’t have enough ti left, and I don’t know if I’ll live to see that day.”
Nanny Ding felt a pang in her heart but smoothly changed the subject.
anwhile, Qin Liuxi, the subject of their conversation, had gone over to Mrs. Gu’s side, perford acupuncture again, and gave her a few instructions along with a prescription.
“This prescription is for a dicinal bath soup that I’ve researched for Brother Ping and his brothers. I’ve also copied one for Qi Huang. From today on, let them take a bath every other day. It will strengthen their bodies and make their muscles and bones more robust,” she said.
Mrs. Gu was taken aback, took it and glanced at it, her expression showing so hesitation.
“If you feel there’s any issue with it, you don’t have to use it,” said Qin Liuxi.
Mrs. Gu shook her head: “You would not harm them, I trust you. In the past, I wouldn’t have hesitated, but Xixi, you also know the situation our family is in now. dicinal baths require too many costly herbs and silver.”
They couldn’t afford it, and she could not be selfish by demanding too much just for the twins, considering the current plight of the Qin family.
Qin Liuxi said: “Don’t worry, if I’m offering it, I’ve already arranged everything. After I leave, Qi Huang will take care of it.”
