Qiu Yue usually listened obediently, but this time she didn't respond immediately. Instead, she stared at Ye Zhuo and blinked straight at her.

  She knew that Ye Zhuo had been waiting for Nie Wei Yue to make a move, but the servant girl sent over was directly making food. If she were to put medicine in the supplement again, wouldn't that be taking a huge loss? She didn't want her own daughter to suffer again.

  Tang Nainai saw that Qiu Yue didn't respond, the smile on her face disappeared, and her gaze at Qiu Yue carried a hint of intimidation.

  "Autumn Moon, didn't you hear what I just said?" Ye Zhuo also lowered his face and said.

  "Oh." Akizuki reluctantly responded with a single word, while taking out the medicine and supplements, muttering to himself, "You're having stomach trouble after all, you can't just eat anything, shouldn't we ask the doctor first?"

  "Miss Autumn Moon, don't worry. We've been serving these nourishing dishes to the ladies of the house every day, so we more or less understand some medical principles. What kind of physical condition requires what kind of nourishment is all a matter of expertise." Nurse Tang said with a hint of a smile, stretching out her hand to rummage through the dishes and picking out a ginseng, which she handed to Ye Zhuo: "This ginseng is a great tonic for one's vital energy, most suitable for someone like Miss Ye who has had a severe case of diarrhea and hurt her vital energy. This single piece of ginseng is worth over a hundred taels of silver, and the mistress sent it here especially for Miss Ye, showing how much she values her." After speaking, she called out towards the outside: "Wang Lin's family!"

  A young daughter-in-law came in and bowed to them.

  "You slice the ginseng, simmer it over low heat for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and add some brown sugar when you take it off the stove." Aunt Tang gave detailed instructions, letting the young daughter-in-law retreat while she herself sat firmly in her chair, looking like she wanted to chat with Ye Zhen until the ginseng soup was cooked and Ye Zhen had eaten it before leaving.

  Autumn moon is blinded by love.

  She also intended to take advantage of the opportunity when Tang Ayi was stewing tonic, and persuade Ye Zhuo not to drink that ginseng soup. Now Tang Ayi is stuck here, she doesn't even have a chance to speak.

  Actually, there was no need for Autumn Moon to persuade her, Ye Zhuo had no intention of drinking that ginseng soup. Ginseng is a good thing, but it's not something to be used casually. Moreover, it's unknown what kind of trickery Nurse Tang has come up with - whether it's Madame Nie trying to win her over by specially sending Nurse Tang to show goodwill or if it's Nie Wei Yue who sent her to do some behind-the-scenes work. In any case, it's not worth risking her body. Moreover, she likes to take the initiative to attack rather than passively receive an attack. Even if this is a move made by Nie Wei Yue, she wants to turn things around and put them under her control.

  "I wonder which master sent Auntie Tang? Is it the mistress or Niece Nie?" Ye Zhuo suddenly asked.

  This question is abrupt and bold. Especially after the drugging incident yesterday, her question carries a strong tone of suspicion.

  So Tangerine stood there for a good while before finally lowering her face and saying: "What do you mean by these words, Miss Ye?"

  "What does it mean?" Ye Zhuo was taken aback and asked back in confusion, "I just wanted to know who is so concerned about me, so that I can be at ease. What is Nanny Tang thinking?"

  "Is it really like this?" Aunt Tang's eyes sank gloomily.

  "Could it be that Old Lady Mo has thought of something else? Can't you tell Ye Zhuo?" Ye Zhuo had a curious expression. The people from the Nie family all felt superior, especially in front of this little girl with no status, background or backing, and their sense of superiority was bursting forth, unable to withstand being teased.

  Tang's mother looked at Ye Zhen for a good half day, making her feel somewhat uneasy before finally speaking up: "Miss Ye, I'd like to advise you on something. Don't try to play clever in front of others, it's useless. In the past, there was a girl from a side branch who thought she was very smart and spent every day scheming and showing off her skills. As a result, she was chased out by my lady. She was never allowed to set foot in the Nie residence again. When this matter spread out, the engagement that had been arranged for her also fell through, and in the end, she could only marry a widower as his second wife."

  Ye Zhuo's face also sank: "Auntie Tang, what you said is unreasonable. How did I play tricks on you? I just asked you a question, if you want to say it, say it, if not, then forget it. What's the point of saying these useless things?"

  "What do you mean, you know it in your heart. My wife is kind-hearted, seeing that you are ill, she brought valuable supplements and sent me to cook for you. You just need to have a grateful heart and think about how to repay my wife. As for the rest, let's not think too much."

  With a "bang", Ye Zhuo heavily put the teacup on the table, then stood up with a "ding" sound, but stood there in a daze for half a day, biting her lip and holding back tears, before weakly sitting down again, with tears falling like pearls.

  "Miss, miss..." Autumn Moon was at a loss for words, unsure of how to comfort her.

  She's just a girl who can't even show her face, the mistress already dislikes her, and even if she were to be taken in by the old master, she wouldn't have any status to speak of. Seeing her like this, Old Lady Wang also didn't bother to comfort her, but instead sat there calmly drinking tea.

  Before long, the young woman came in, holding a tray. On the tray was a small covered bowl. She placed it in front of Ye Zhen, took out the small bowl, lifted the lid, and stepped back to one side.

  "Come on, Ye Niang," said Aunt Tang.

  Ye Chou cried for a while and then stopped. At this time, she sniffled, looked at the ginseng soup, and was about to pick up the small bowl. But unexpectedly, whether it was fear of scalding or carelessness, there was a "clatter" sound, and the small bowl was knocked over onto the table, rolled off, and fell to the ground, shattering into powder. The light yellow ginseng soup flowed out from the broken ceramic pieces and spilled all over the floor.

  Tang's mother was taken aback at first, then jumped up, pointing at Ye Zhuo's nose and saying: "Hey, what do you mean by this? If you don't want to eat it, just say so. Do you think the Nie family doesn't need silver? You can't even buy a few taels with that kind of money. It's something that can't be put on the table!"

  "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. The bowl was a bit hot and I lost my grip for a moment..." Ye Zhuo explained, tears falling again.

  "Hmph, I'll report this to the mistress. As for what happens next, just wait and see." Madam Tang said, turning around and walking away.

  "Tan Nian, Tan Nian..." Ye Zhuo hastily called out twice, but Tan Nian didn't pay her any attention. She took the young daughter-in-law and left the house directly.

  "Hurry, help me catch up with Sister Tang and ask her not to tell Madam." After saying this, Ye Zhuo didn't wait for Autumn Moon to support her, but quickly chased after her. Autumn Moon was taken aback, and also hurriedly followed.

  (Want to hit the wall, today's thinking is especially chaotic, wrote 4,000 words, deleted them, and rewrote them again. Finally sitting in front of the computer, not a single word can be written... So today, not only did I not update more, but also only 2,000 words. Can I say that I want to delete these 2,000 words too? Waaah, seeking comfort~) (If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
