After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains
Chapter 15: It’s not that the witch has changed her personality!
This was only the second day since Qin Yaoguang had traveled through the book. She was not an experienced educator, so it was normal for the children not to believe her.
However, things are a bit tricky right now.
If she sent the court doctor over, given the cautiousness of the five children, even if he prescribed medicine, he probably wouldn't dare let the third child drink it.
She had already done emergency disinfection on the wound on the palm of the third child yesterday, but was it inflamed? That's why he had a high fever and fell unconscious. In this era without antibiotics, all she knew was to "drink more hot water."
Qin Yaoguang looked at Madam Deng, the only one who had the trust of the five children, and said, "Madam, this matter still falls on you. I have now figured it out. There is no point in getting into trouble with these children."
"The prince consort will return to the capital one day. When he comes back, I will hand them all over to him, that's all."
Hearing her say this, Madam Deng's eyes became hot and she bowed, "It's all up to your Highness to order."
Her Royal Highness the Princess had grown from a small girl into a majestic princess, but why was her life so miserable?
Others may not know, but Nanny Deng knows it all. His Highness and his wife have never consummated their marriage. For any woman, this is a great humiliation, not to mention the princess.
Following Qin Yaoguang's instructions, Madam Deng found a maid who ran errands and went to Zhufeng Courtyard to tell her to invite the young master out. In addition, she also specifically ordered that no one else should see her.
Watching the little girl slip into Zhufeng Courtyard, Nanny Deng found a sheltered spot behind a screen wall and waited there.
A quarter of an hour later, the eldest brother came out. He looked around cautiously, and when he saw that there was no one around, he quickly walked up to Madam Deng and said, "Madam, are you looking for me?"
As he spoke, he bowed to Nanny Deng.
Nanny Deng dared not accept it, and hurriedly took a half step to the side to avoid it. Not to mention that the eldest princess is now intending to promote the concubines' children, even in the past, they were also the proper young masters and young ladies in the princess's mansion.
"I heard from Chunniang that the third young master has a high fever that won't go away?" Nanny Deng lowered her voice.
When talking about this, the boss clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with grief and anger.
He wanted to say that this was all because of that vicious woman, but the only nanny he could rely on happened to be the one who served that woman.
Madam Deng had known the inside story for a long time. She asked this question just to trigger the next thing. She took out a few taels of loose silver from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the eldest brother, saying, "Take these. I will send a servant to invite a doctor later. You just need to be alert and quietly diagnose and prescribe medicine for the third young master."
The eldest brother didn't take it immediately, and tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes.
He had a hard time surviving in the princess's mansion, relying on the support of the children to get through it. He thought this time would be the same, but unexpectedly, he felt kindness for the first time.
He sniffed and said, "Mammy, we are worthless and we cannot let you get hurt."
Having been abused and bullied for a long time, his outlook on life has long been distorted. If this continues, he will become a brave warrior on the battlefield like in the original book.
His fearlessness and bravery actually shows his disregard for his own life.
Aunt Deng was startled and said hurriedly, "Master, please stop saying that. You are the master of our princess's mansion, and I am just a servant. Don't worry, I am here to watch over you. No one will care about this little thing. Just be at ease."
He does not mean that.
Nanny Deng holds an extraordinary status in the princess's mansion, but she always considers herself a servant and never oversteps the boundaries.
The eldest brother had already learned the skill of observing people's words and expressions without any instruction while struggling to survive. From Nanny Deng's expression, he knew that her words came from the heart, and he felt even more grateful in his heart.
If he had felt close to her before when Nanny Deng sent him food and the cook, he now completely trusted her.
Back in the Wind Chasing Courtyard, the eldest brother gave all the loose change given by Madam Deng to the second brother and asked expectantly, "Second brother, can we trust this Madam Deng?"
Not only him, the fourth and fifth brothers also looked at the second brother eagerly, waiting for him to make the decision.
The children have endured until now and are already exhausted both physically and mentally, but they are still holding on with the determination to "survive".
Suddenly, a ray of hope appeared in the darkness, and I felt both conflicted and eager.
They hoped that Nanny Deng's kindness to them was genuine. That way, with Nanny Deng's power second only to that of the princess, their lives would be much better.
However, past experiences keep reminding them not to be credulous.
Under the gaze of several people, the second brother thought for a long time and nodded slowly.
The reason was simple. Even he couldn't find any reason why Nanny Deng would be nice to the five of them.
Seeking fame?
Nanny Deng is a slave whose bond is held by the eldest princess. Even though all the servants in the mansion now obey her orders, it is because of the princess' trust in her.
Without the princess, she was nothing.
Why did she want to gain a reputation of being weak and pitiful? If she was not careful, it would arouse the princess's suspicion.
Seeking profit?
The second brother looked down at the thin clothes he was wearing which barely covered his body. Any servant was dressed more like a young master than he was. There was no profit in this group of kids.
In order to survive, he did make some deals with Xiao in private with the things in his hands. But he knew Xiao's thoughts very well and would never reveal this information to the people of Huamu Hall.
Seeing that he was indeed sure, the fourth brother's eyes sparkled with joy, and he cheered in a low voice: "That's great! Third brother finally doesn't have to fight it all by himself!"
The eldest brother was the worst at hiding his joy and had already shown it on his face a long time ago. The fifth brother was infected by the joyful atmosphere and started jumping up and down.
Seeing this, the second son said in a deep voice: "However, we can't let our guard down. Aunt Deng only felt pity for us because she had a grandson. It's not that the witch has changed her temper!"
He poured a basin of cold water over their heads, causing the smiles on the children's faces to suddenly freeze.
The second brother didn't want to spoil the fun, but he was more worried that they would relax their minds, lose their vigilance, and end up in tragedy.
In that case, let him be the bad guy!
Unlike the other four children, he carries a huge secret and deliberately enters the princess's mansion, not just to survive.
After half an hour, someone brought a doctor into the yard to examine the third son.
After a thorough inspection, the doctor unwrapped the fine cloth that Qin Yaoguang had bandaged yesterday and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Fortunately, the wound was treated in time, so it was not infected by external pathogens. The high fever that continues now is just caused by the young master catching a cold."
After these words were spoken, the children looked at each other in bewilderment.
The second brother couldn't help but say, "When the third brother was scratched by a porcelain shard, someone washed his wound with wine."
"Porcelain fragments?" The doctor was shocked. He carefully examined the wound again and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the man who bandaged him was very skilled and did not leave any fragments in the flesh and blood."
"Impossible!" the boss blurted out.
