The real daughter is reborn, I will no longer be this evil stepmother

After the secret guards arrested all the people, they looked around.

Everyone is warned not to spread rumors again, and those who spread rumors will be arrested.

Everyone is also welcome to report rumor spreaders, and those who report rumors will be rewarded.

Everyone agreed.

***

Jiang Mingyue closed the hotel at night and returned to the Warring States Duke's Mansion.

I met the eldest lady coming out of the warehouse with a somewhat anxious look.

He looked like he was in a hurry.

Jiang Mingyue stopped her, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

When the eldest lady saw it was Jiang Mingyue, she smiled gently and said, "Mingyue! You're back! I asked the kitchen to cook your favorite mandarin fish tonight. If you're tired, I'll get it for you later. Meals will be delivered to your yard.”

"Thank you, auntie!"

While Jiang Mingyue was speaking, she glanced at the things in the hands of the maid behind the eldest lady.

Like trauma medicine.

So, Jiang Mingyue probed, "Auntie, who is injured?"

The eldest lady hesitated, "No, no one was injured. I'll take this commonly used medicine back to the yard to prepare some."

Jiang Mingyue smiled and said, "Okay."

The two parted.

Jiang Mingyue walked slowly on purpose, waiting for her to turn around before looking at the eldest lady.

The direction she was walking in didn't seem to be the yard where she lived, but where her second cousin Sima Yexia lived?

She lifted her feet and followed quietly.

Lingwei whispered, "Miss, where are you going?"

"I gonna go see."

The two maids followed quietly.

……

The eldest lady felt extremely distressed when she saw the bruises on Sima Yexia's body.

"Yuanbao, you were fighting with someone outside and were injured. I quickly went to the warehouse to get some good medicine. These are all given by the emperor. They are very good at treating injuries. You can use them quickly. Mother, please help. Just apply it!"

Sima Yexia has a slim figure, but when he takes off his shirt, his broad chest is exposed, which is also muscular.

He now has bruises all over his body.

Among them, the one on the back is the largest.

It is the mark of the enemy's fist when he was attacked on the front and back.

"No, just let Yuan Bao come. Thank you for your concern, mother. I won't be in the way."

Yuan Bao picked up the medicine and applied it to Sima Yexia.

The trauma medicine is cooling, but when applied to the injured area, it causes burning pain.

Sima Yexia gritted his teeth and remained silent.

The eldest lady couldn't bear to see her son like this, "How can you deal with five people by yourself? Don't try too hard next time. You have to teach them a lesson and let Yuan Bao and Yin Qian do it. You still need to Do you do it yourself?"

"That person said something so unpleasant that my son couldn't help it," Sima Yexia replied.

The eldest lady sighed, "Even a good-tempered person like you can't help but be irritated. You must have scolded her too harshly! But..."

Yuan Bao, who was applying medicine to Sima Yexia, said, "Madam, you don't know something. Those people who slander and slander Miss Cousin's reputation are simply audacious and deserve to be beaten! I really don't blame the young master. The young master likes Cousin so much." Miss, how could you endure others slandering Miss Biao? The only fault is that Yinqian and I were too slow to stop the carriage and didn’t make it in time, causing the young master to be injured..."

"However, these people were finally captured by the dark-clothed guards and entered the dark-clothed guards' yamen. They have to peel off their skin!"

Yuan Bao thought of this and showed a gloating expression.

"Is this the case you went to the Undercover Guardian?" asked the eldest lady.

Yuan Bao shook his head, "It wasn't us. It was the dark-clothed guards who came by themselves."

The eldest lady nodded and said, "Some hidden guards have intervened in this matter. I believe the rumors about Mingyue in the capital will soon stop. In this way, I can rest assured."

The eldest lady was still unhappy and felt heavy.

"You, you were injured for no reason. These bruises may be more serious tomorrow. Let me see how you play the piano! And the old lady didn't eat anything today. She said she was not feeling well, but she didn't let me treat her. Doctor, I asked Mingyue to treat her, but she didn't agree. Maybe she was frightened by the forbidden things buried in the yard. I don't know what to do now..."

Sima Yexia stood up and said, "Then I'll go and pay my respects to my grandmother."

The eldest lady stopped her, "Don't go. You've got bruises all over your face, but the old lady saw it and was worried. I won't go until you feel better."

Sima Yexia stopped insisting.

……

Jiang Mingyue heard the reason outside the yard.

Without saying a word, he returned the same way.

The second cousin got into a fight with someone outside because of her.

The trauma medicine the eldest lady got was symptomatic, so there was no need for her to show up, and she didn't know what to say.

Anyway, she understood her second cousin's wishes.

Jiang Mingyue felt that what she held on to in her heart seemed to be disintegrating step by step.

She quietly left her second cousin's yard.

When she returned to the courtyard where she lived, the person in the dining room gave her some of her favorite dishes.

She usually eats in Fushouyuan every night. Unless the old lady is not at home or doesn't want to have dinner, she is not allowed to go there.

Tonight, the old lady said that she had no appetite, so the Fushouyuan did not set out any food, so she was asked to eat in the room by herself. She told the kitchen what she wanted to eat.

It was strange and tasteless for her to eat alone.

After eating, she couldn't sit still.

Went to Fushouyuan.

The old lady left her in the ancestral hall yesterday and said those words, which she couldn't accept. Later, the old lady would not force her.

Is the old lady unhappy because of this?

Jiang Mingyue decided to take a look.

She brought some fresh fruits and brought them to the old lady.

When we arrived at Fushouyuan, there was silence in the courtyard.

Fresh flowers, plants and trees have been planted, and the layout is still the same as before, but the feeling is different.

The newly planted flowers and trees are all listless.

Jiang Mingyue went in and was greeted by Du Juan, "The old lady has taken a rest. Miss Cousin, are you okay?"

"Nothing, just coming to say hello to grandma."

Du Juan said, "The old lady doesn't seem to be in good health. When she falls asleep, she still has nightmares, talks in her sleep, and has poor appetite. From last night to today, she has been in a wilting state and has not spoken. Even if we just sigh, we don’t dare to ask.”

This girl is very loyal to protect her master. She has been raised by the old lady since she was a child, and she has a deep feeling for the old lady.

"Have you hired an imperial doctor?" Jiang Mingyue asked.

She didn't agree to the old lady's request. The old lady couldn't hide her dignity and came to her for medical treatment. However, if she was really sick, she should also consult an imperial doctor.

Du Juan shook her head, "The old lady refused to invite me. She said she was fine, and she didn't let us go find you because she was afraid of annoying you."

While the two were talking, they heard a voice coming from inside.

Like a scream.

Then there was the anxious voice of the servants.

"Old lady, wake up, old lady..."

"Old lady, don't be afraid, you just had a dream!"

Jiang Mingyue and Du Juan hurried into the back room.
