The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Jiang Tunan found a shady place in the yard and asked Chunhua to bring some tea.

Jiang Tunan: The position is correct, the time is correct, the melon-eating system is activated!

"Miss, the Luo family is really weird. It is said that the house is unclean. A woman whose son died was hanged in it. Some people can hear the crying of a woman near the Luo house at night. Many people say that the young master became like this because the eldest young lady went back to her parents' home when she was pregnant and was seen by the female ghost. So the young master was still in the eldest young lady's belly, and the female ghost took away one of his souls and spirits and made him her son. And..."

Chunhua hesitated whether to continue speaking, while Jiang Tunan spoke expressionlessly.

"Chunhua, stop talking halfway, or a female ghost will come and eat your tongue in the middle of the night."

"Tell me, tell me, miss."

Chunhua has been afraid of ghosts and monsters since she was a child. After being frightened by Jiang Tunan, she immediately said,

"And some old maids said that after Madam Luo gave birth to the Second Miss Luo, she seemed to be possessed by a ghost for a while. She was like a completely different person and almost strangled the Second Miss Luo to death several times."

So weird? Are there ghosts and monsters in this book? Jiang Tunan remembered that she was wearing a brainless sweet novel! (crying)

"Oh, Miss, I just ran into Sister Lamei on my way back. She said she would like you to have lunch at the Flower Hall today."

Chunhua slapped her head and almost forgot about the important matter. However, the feeling of discussing these secrets of the noble families with the young lady was really different. How should I put it? I just felt that the whole person became particularly energetic!

"Didn't Madam Jin tell me not to leave the courtyard?"

Jiang Tunan didn't want to make this trip. It would be better to stay in his own yard and eat coarse vegetables than to have a big meal that required him to look at other people's faces.

"Miss, that's because Master Xiao is here today, and he said he wants you to get to know the eldest young lady."

Jiang Tunan was touched. This Lord Xiao was really good to the original owner, just like his own daughter. But then he thought, who would feed their own daughter with coarse food? (Continue crying)

Chunhua saw that Jiang Tunan was reluctant, and then said,

"Miss, Sister Lamei said that we have invited a chef from a restaurant outside to come to our house today. I heard that he is the chef in charge of Jumanlou. His specialty is roasted duck. The duck meat is really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is full of freshness and fragrance when you take a bite..."

"Okay, change your clothes and go right away."

Jiang Tunan: Even if I have to crawl today, I will crawl to eat this roast duck. No way, no way, is there really anyone who likes to eat coarse food?

Chunhua: Control it.

Although after meeting Xiao Huaimin that day, the Xiao family's housekeeper sent someone to deliver new clothes, they were not made of expensive materials, but at least they were much better than the maids' clothes. However, these clothes might have been bought directly from the clothing store, and Jiang Tunan was already thin and malnourished, so they did not fit him perfectly.

For Jiang Tunan, it was enough to wear the clothes, but Chunhua felt distressed when she saw them. Chunhua often thought that if she knew how to sew, she could alter the clothes for the young lady.

So Chunhua silently made a decision in her heart: try to make the young lady gain weight so that the clothes will fit her.

Chunhua: I still can’t do needlework, I really can’t.

Jiang Tunan was planning to change clothes and go to the flower hall, while Madam Xiao and Madam Luo were taking Luo Yunqing and Luo Fengruan to the Qunfang Pavilion to appreciate the flowers.

Madam Luo was born into a scholarly family. Her mother was a lady-in-charge of etiquette in the service of the Empress Dowager, so Madam Luo had been learning orthodox royal etiquette since she was a child.

Today, Madam Luo wore a dark green straight-collared, wide-sleeved jacket and an ochre skirt with an ancient smoke pattern. She had her hair in a topknot and wore a tourmaline peony hairpin in her hair.

"Sister, this is the amulet I bought for you at Zenxin Temple. Please accept it. It is a token of my sincere gratitude."

Madam Luo signaled to the maid, who immediately understood and presented the amulet.

Madam Xiao did not accept it immediately, but glanced at Luo Yunqing beside Madam Luo and said

"Sister, you are so polite. I'm sorry to bother you to make this trip. But I don't know if Yun Qing went to Chanxin Temple with you for this amulet. Otherwise, why would he not come home for several days?"

Madam Luo was upset when she heard this, and she quickly rebuked Luo Yun.

"Yun Qing, why don't you apologize to your mother-in-law?"

Luo Yunqing's eyes were red, and even though she had put on thick makeup today, it still couldn't hide the haggard look between her brows.

"Mother, please forgive Yun Qing for returning to her parents' home without permission. I... I had no choice..."

As he spoke, Luo Yunqing could no longer control his emotions and started crying with his face covered.

"Mother, Xiaobao...he is only four and a half years old...he cannot live without his mother by his side right now..."

After hearing this, Madam Xiao's expression softened slightly and she said,

"I am also Xiaobao's grandmother. Don't I feel sorry for Xiaobao?"

Madam Xiao touched her chest. She had tried every possible method in the past few years. She had asked many famous doctors to help, but none of them could help. In order to make Xiaobao normal, she even tried many folk remedies, but there was still no improvement.

Mrs. Xiao had also heard rumors outside that Xiaobao's soul had been taken away. She didn't believe it at first, but no matter what prescription she used, Xiaobao's condition showed no improvement. Now there was no other way, she could only try her best.

"Don't worry, Xiaobao has gone to Xichen Temple and someone will take care of him."

Xichen Temple is not in Kyoto, but far away in Jiangnan, but it is a famous temple. Mrs. Xiao also heard that a person with dementia went to live in Xichen Temple and recovered after a month.

If Xiaobao was really possessed by evil spirits, and went to Xichen Temple, perhaps he could be blessed by the Buddha and his condition would improve.

"Mother, I understand the truth, but Xiaobao has never left me since he was a child. Besides, he is in such a situation. I am afraid that others will not have such patience."

Mrs. Luo looked at the scene before her, with an inextricable sorrow in her eyes. She could do nothing about what happened to her daughter.

Meanwhile, Luo Fengruan, the second young lady of the Luo family, just frowned, as if she was dissatisfied with Luo Yunqing's crying:

"Sister, Madam Xiao is doing this for Xiaobao's own good, why are you so fussy about it?"

Mrs. Luo immediately frowned, looked at her little daughter, and scolded,

"Fengruan, don't be rude! You have no right to speak here!"

Luo Fengruan was angry. It was like this again, every time! Her mother always stood on Luo Yunqing's side. When she was a child, she taught her etiquette and calligraphy, but she didn't care about her.

Luo Yunqing was married to the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, General Xiao Mingyue. But she was dismissed with a simple "marry the one you like", which was because she was not good enough.

"Mother, don't blame Feng Ruan. She is also thinking about me."

Luo Yunqing wiped her tears carefully and said in a gentle voice. Luo Fengruan was even more angry. Every time Luo Yunqing acted sensible in front of her mother, but if she was really sensible, how could she run back to her parents' home alone after getting married and cause her mother to come to apologize!

"hypocritically!"

Luo Fengruan lowered his head and muttered, but was heard by Madam Luo, who immediately became furious and said,

"Shut up! If you can't stay here, get out. No one is forcing you to stay!"

Seeing this, Luo Fengruan could no longer stay and ran out with her face covered. Madam Luo turned around and stood up to bow to Madam Xiao and apologize,

"I'm so sorry, sister. I'm a bad parent and I made you laugh at me."

Madam Xiao stood up and gave him a helping hand, then said,

"Sister, I know you. Your daughter is just a little naive and lively, but it's harmless. You don't have to take it too seriously."

Seeing that Madam Xiao's expression was unchanged, Madam Luo said cautiously,

"Sister, Xiaobao has grown up in front of me. Although he has never called me grandma, I really love him. Why don't you keep him in Kyoto for a year or so? This will help me, as a grandmother, to keep my grandson."

Mrs. Luo spoke earnestly, and her eyes were red, which made Mrs. Xiao feel shaken.

"Sister, if Xiaobao's condition still doesn't improve during this period of time, it's okay to send him to Xichen Temple. After all, we don't know when Xiaobao will be able to come back."

"Then it's up to you."

Mrs. Xiao thought about it and it was true. If the condition improved, it would be fine. If not, wouldn't she have to stay in Jiangnan forever? After all, Xiaobao was her first grandson, so she was naturally distressed.

Luo Yunqing felt relieved when he heard that, but then he became sad again. Xiaobao has not shown any improvement in so many years. Is it possible that he can get better in half a year? Then he will still have to be sent to Xichen Temple.

At this moment, a little girl stumbled in and shouted,

"It's not good, it's not good, madam, it's not good."

Madam Xiao's eyebrows jumped and she lightly rebuked,

"How can you be so reckless? Don't you see that we have a distinguished guest here?"

The little girl shrank her head when she was scolded, and stammered,

"Madam, something happened to the Third Young Master."

Madam Xiao immediately stood up, pressed her left hand to her brow, and said helplessly

"What happened to that bastard?"

The little girl didn't dare to look at Madam Xiao, and said cautiously,

"Third... Third Young Master, his hand...his hand is broken!"
