Nangong Xin looked nervously at Nangong Yue, trying to push her away, "Little sister, go rest quickly! "Go quickly!"

Nangong Yue was slightly choked with sobs. She sat on the bedside and affectionately held her brother's hand.

Her sparkling tears flickered in her eyes. "Big brother, I'm okay!" She stared straight at Nangong Xin, looking at her brother's handsome and innocent face. She wanted to reach out and touch him, but she was afraid her parents would see through her.

At this moment, she was truly afraid that she was dreaming. Her mother, father, and brother were all here; this dream was just too beautiful! She really couldn't bear to wake up.

"Little sister, I'm going to give you a present." Nangong Xin suddenly and mysteriously placed her right fist in front of Nangong Yue and suddenly opened her palm.

In his palm was a little cat made of grass, only the size of a dragon eye, but it was weaved very meticulously. His beard, ears, tail, and even sewn two small rubies as eyes.

Nangong Yue looked at the adorable grass kitten for a moment, then suddenly thought back to what Bai Muxiao had said, "Xiao'er only borrowed Cousin Xin's grass cat to take a look. Xiao'er only wanted to have Cousin Qing take a look …" Following that, she thought about when her brother was rescued from the pool.

His right hand had been tightly clutching something the entire time … Thinking of this, she could no longer control herself. Her eyes were filled with tears and her vision was blurry.

So this is the reason why elder brother …

She took the grass kitten, not daring to let her tears spill out of her eyes, and revealed a big, bright smile at the corner of her mouth. Brother, I really like it! "

"I knew you'd like it!" Nangong Xin also revealed a bright smile.

Seeing the happy expressions of the two siblings, Nangong Mu and Madame Lin looked at each other and smiled. It was a great happiness to have all four of them together.

After seeing her big brother, Nangong Yue bid her farewell to her parents and returned to her courtyard.

As soon as he entered the room, Yi Mei served her a bowl of steaming black soup. An Niang took the bowl and gently said, "Third Miss, after you drink the medicine, you should rest early."

Nangong Yue finished the soup in one gulp. Under An Niang's urging, she laid down on the bed.

Today was a difficult day. Nangong Yue couldn't hold back her fatigue any longer and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, after Nangong Yue had finished drinking the soup, An Niang told her the news.

I heard that the Young Miss Biao left the Nangong Residence early and returned to the Bai Residence!

I heard that because of neglect of duty, Yun Niang and Zhuyu were beaten up and sold out!

On one hand, Nangong Yue felt that Yun Niang and Zhuyu deserved this. On the other hand, she also felt that the two of them were pretty lucky to have been able to survive in this life.

She only hoped that they would be able to cherish this bit of good fortune. She was silent as she allowed An Niang to help her put on her clothes.

"According to the old lady who was guarding the woodshed, the first lady had asked the granny broker to take them away early in the morning. Sigh, if they knew it would turn out like this, they wouldn't have done it this way. " An Niang sighed as she added, "But, Bai Lu and Senior Shen's luck is good."

Naturally, Nangong Yue still remembered the maidservant Bai Lu. But who was that Senior Shen?

Her eyebrows twitched. An Niang already knew what she was thinking and explained, "Senior Shen is the old woman who saved Second Young Master from the pond. Second Madam Lin gave Senior Shen a reward and accepted her youngest daughter to be a servant girl called Lu Ya.

She also begged madam to transfer Bai Lu to the Drifting Cloud Courtyard, and because of that, she was promoted to a second-rate servant girl.

Second Madam even gave Lu Ya a rank of a first-rate maid to Second Young Master. Second Madam said that she did not ask for this servant to be very capable, and only hoped that they would take care of Second Young Master wholeheartedly. "

Nangong Yue thought to herself, "Although this Senior Shen managed to save her brother from the pond, I can't guarantee that her youngest daughter is a good person."

And that Bai Lu too! She must help to keep an eye out, and never let those servants that neglected master to stay by his brother's side again. If my brother had an accident again, mother would definitely not be able to take it!

While she was in her thoughts, Nangong Yue had already finished washing up under Yimei's care.

Everything was ready. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a thirteen or fourteen year old maidservant wearing a lakegreen dress leisurely walk into the courtyard.

She walked up to Nangong Yue and said, "Third Miss, breakfast is here." Behind her was a nine-year-old maid carrying two layers of mahogany food boxes.

Nangong Yue casually swept a glance at her and quickly recognized that she was her other first-rate maidservant, Yixuan. From yesterday until now, she had finally appeared.

Nangong Yue remembered that Yixuan was given to her by her grandmother, Old Madame Su.

Yixuan's father was the mansion's second steward, so no one would dare to offend her in her Black Bamboo Courtyard. Not to mention that her mother and Nangong Yue had always been unloved by her grandmother, even Yixuan was beginning to treat her with contempt.

Yixuan had a goose egg-shaped face, and her pair of intelligent big eyes were lively. She couldn't conceal the scheme behind it, but it was unknown why she was suddenly so attentive.

Nangong Yue said indifferently, "There's no need for now. I have to hurry and pay my respects to Grandmother. " Finished speaking, she was about to leave when Yixuan stepped forward, cleverly blocking her path.

"Third Miss, didn't the Old Madame said before that you were not in good health and that you were exempt from daily greetings?" Yixuan smiled, "Your body has not recovered yet. You should be recuperating now"

"Please have breakfast." As she said this, she beckoned to the maidservant behind her, "Jincheng, you still don't dare to hurry and put the breakfast on the table for the Third Miss!"

An Niang had always placed importance on Nangong Yue. Upon hearing this, she advised, "Third Miss, Yixuan is right. The most important thing is to take care of yourself. "

Nangong Yue couldn't help but glance at Yixuan. Because of this illness, she had been bedridden for nearly three months and never went to pay respects to her grandmother again.

Gradually, they became even more distant. In this life, if she wanted to live a good life with her mother, then her grandmother's love was indispensable.

"Filial piety comes first. My body has already recovered, so I should pay my respects to Grandmother first." Nangong Yue resolutely said more as she prepared to bypass Yixuan.

However, Yixuan immediately agilely stopped her and said, "Third Miss, your body has just gotten better, how could you be so careless?"

Glimmers danced in Nangong Yue's eyes. She didn't know if it was because she was thinking too much, but she felt that Yixuan was trying to stop her. Before she could say anything, she saw Yixuan unyieldingly pull her wrist, as if she was doing this for her own good.

"Third Miss, please listen to this servant." As Yixuan spoke, she pulled Nangong Yue into her room. "It's because the Old Madame dotes on you that you don't have to pay her respects. What a great honor it is for you."

Nangong Yue's lips curved up into a smile as she looked at Yixuan with a smile that was not a smile. As expected, she was too weak. This servant dared to retort her from time and time again. She even dared to attack her.
