Chapter 29 The Thoughts of Madam

  I understood and smiled, saying: "That's no wonder, you can only say that you've seen few women, either your aunt or the servant girl, you don't know, there are many women like me in this world."

  He smiled and suddenly asked me seriously: "Can you cure my illness?"

  I glanced at the remaining medicine in the bowl and said, "I'm not sure, but I can try." After a pause, I asked, "If I cure you, what benefits will you give me?"

  Song Tang looked at me and thought for a long time before saying: "What benefits are you looking for?"

  I smiled and said: "If you're fine with it, then let me go free and give me a divorce paper."

  He disagreed, saying: "If I were to be well-treated, even if I were no longer favored, my father would definitely reward you heavily. I will also treat you well, and from now on, we will enjoy wealth and glory together."

  I smiled and shook my head, saying: "To be honest with you, I married into this family because of pressure from my relatives. I didn't want to implicate them, but my heart is not in wealth and status. That's the only thing I ask for."

  He furrowed his brow, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. I wasn't in a hurry either, just smiling as I looked at him.

  "After a long time, he finally said: 'If I'm alright, I'll give you a divorce paper, acknowledge you as my sister, and even if it costs me everything, I'll get my father to give you the Song family name, let you enter the Song family tree, and give you freedom. Even if you're a discarded wife, with the Song family's reputation, you won't have trouble remarrying.'"

  I was touched by his thoughtfulness and said, "Alright, deal!" I pinched the corner of the quilt for him and said seriously, "I will definitely try my best."

  It's not just for him, but also for Chihiro, and when he gets a bit better, I can go find him freely.

  Whenever I think of that tall figure and gentle smile, I feel inexplicably at ease. I suppose it's usually like this for people who are thinking of each other.

  I lost myself in thought for a moment, and then I helped Song Tang down to rest.

  At night when he had dinner, I also fed him personally. I saw that his food was mostly nourishing and rare medicinal materials were almost all used. In my heart, I secretly admired the wisdom of the great lady.

  Such a medicinal diet, to those who do not understand pharmacology, seems good and everyone will also praise the virtuousness of the lady. Because in ordinary thinking, people with serious illnesses should be supplemented more, but they don't know that some diseases cannot be heavily supplemented. If only expensive medicinal materials are used to nourish the body, it will only gradually worsen the condition.
