Chapter 28 Afraid of Losing Favor

  After feeding the medicine, I ordered Hong Ling to go down and guard first. She stood at the entrance of the outer and inner rooms, looked at me and said: "The slave is waiting here, if there's anything that the second young master and the second young madam need, just give an order."

  I was surprised that such a clever girl would be so blind, and I walked up to her with a smile, saying: "Hong Ling, on the night of my wedding to Second Young Master, there are many things we need to discuss, you standing here will be quite inconvenient."

  This girl's face turned bright red, all the way to her ears, and she lowered her head, stuttering: "I... I'll go down now..." As soon as she finished speaking, she ran out quickly.

  I heard the sound of the door closing and listened carefully for a while until I was sure her footsteps were gone before I let out a sigh of relief.

  I walked up to Song Tang and saw him being stunned, I said with a smile: "How's that? Impressive?"

  He sincerely said: "Awesome!" He asked again: "Do you think there's anything wrong with this Red Spirit?"

  Looking at his curious baby-like expression, I laughed and said: "Can't you see?"

  "After all, he was just a twelve-year-old kid. He said, 'I couldn't tell, I only knew she was the one sent by my aunt to serve me, so whatever I said and did, she must have told my aunt everything.'"

  I smiled slightly: "Do you know why she wanted to tell Madame?"

  Song Tang thought for a moment and said: "The old lady is afraid that I will turn over again with my mother and take back the favor of my father."

  I nodded, with an expression of "this child is teachable".

  "Do you want your illness to get better?" I asked faintly, staring at the remaining medicine liquid that had sunk to the bottom of the bowl.

  I stared at Song Tang, gazing steadily at his expression without blinking, but he remained unmoved. He stared back at me for a while before suddenly asking: "Who are you, after all?"

  I smiled: "Of course I am your new wife, Su Su!"

  He thought for a long time and finally said: "You seem different from ordinary women, at least the women I've seen, none of them are like you."

  I smiled and asked: "How old were you when your illness became serious?"

  He thought for a moment and said: "Since I was sensible, I have been taking medicine jars with me all the time. Since my mother was neglected by her father several years ago, she has become even more seriously ill."
