Chapter 35: Attending by One's Side

  I hung my head and didn't speak, thinking that it was just unnecessary to pretend in front of you. Although my mental age is only 17 years old, due to the illness I had in my previous life, I matured too early. Even when my body wasn't well, I worked harder than other kids. At the age of 14, I was already managing finances at my dad's small factory. Although I didn't have a high-level accounting title, the lifeline of my dad's company was in my hands. This isn't something that can be achieved with ordinary thinking.

  "Go take a rest." I turned around and said softly without looking at you again.

  "Uh-huh." I murmured, turned around and walked out to the outer room. I tossed and turned on the small soft couch for a while but couldn't fall asleep, constantly thinking about Song Tang's illness and its connection to the Song family matters. In a daze, I didn't know when I fell asleep, until I woke up again, the sky was already slightly bright. I looked at the copper clock in the room, it was already time for Song Tang to take his morning medicine.

  Rushed down from bed, didn't even have time to put on clothes before running in, as soon as he entered, it was a mess. Only saw that Song Tang's bedside was already surrounded by people, including the big madam, Hong Ling, and that clever little maid who stood beside the big madam that day.

  I lowered my head to look at my own clothes, and the three of them followed my gaze. This dress had completely wrapped around my body, but in such a conservative ancient times, dressing like this was almost the limit.

  I hastily retreated, and Red Spirit's little girl was quite clever, but in a short while she brought me clothes, helped me quickly braid my hair, and even wanted to paint my eyebrows and powder my face. I feared that if I waited any longer, the madam would think of an even more severe punishment for me.

  I was already late getting up and didn't know how she would punish me, so I just didn't put on any makeup.

  It's strange that when I walked up to her, she didn't mind my late arrival at all, but instead said: "On the contrary, I came too early today. You've just arrived and there are still many things you're not used to. If it's like this in the future..."

  She stopped here and didn't continue, again using that intimidating silence.

  I bowed and said: "Madam is kind, daughter-in-law will not dare again."

  She nodded and turned back to personally feed Song Tang the medicine, asking me lightly, "I heard you're going to serve Old Two in person, is that true?"
