A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Gui'er returned to the mansion and just as she entered the door, she ran into Song Tingting's personal maid, who was walking out with a food box.

When she saw Gui'er coming back, she quickly came forward, smiled and greeted her, saying, "Miss, I'm going to take food to the young mistress now."

Gui'er was a little confused, but without thinking too much, she nodded and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."

The maid didn't leave, but smiled and said, "Okay, the porridge at noon today was a bit bland for the young lady, so I asked the kitchen to put some meat in to cook it."

Gui'er was stunned for a moment and said, "Why is she eating porridge? What is being served now?" Then she opened the food box and saw that it was still white porridge, but there were a few shredded ginger and a few granular meat in it.

Gui'er frowned. She believed that this was not what Sha Yanyao meant. He would not resort to such tricks, but he and his wife really did not want to care about it, so the servants must have acted like this because they saw the master's attitude.

Sighing, she called Dingxiang over and said, "Among the things that Second Brother asked someone to bring over, is there a can of milk powder? And those canned meats imported from the United States or something? Go get them and have her take them to the hospital."

Dingxiang opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. She turned around, took the thing, and handed it to Song Tingting's personal maid to take away.

Gui'er thought that this was not a solution. The more she did, the more she would be hated by both sides. She had to find a way to solve the problem.

So when Sha Yanyao came back, he came to the study and said with a smile: "Brother, you have worked hard at work."

Sha Yanyao saw her, smiled and said, "You came here because of her matter, right?"

Needless to say, this woman must be Song Tingting.

Gui'er sighed and said, "Acheng said the doctor observed her overnight and gave her a nutritional injection. He said if there's nothing serious, she can be discharged in a few days. What should we do then?"

Sha Yanyao held his forehead with his hand, frowning as he said, "Frankly, I don't know what to do. I can't accept it. Sister, look at me. I'm not particularly outstanding, but at least I'm not that kind of jerk. I haven't been messing around outside, right? Although I really haven't let your sister Feng Shu down, so this time I married Song Xichen's sister. I thought she was weak and timid, so I protected her more. She wanted to go out and play, to socialize and play mahjong, and I let her do it. But this is how she repays me."

Gui'er said cautiously, "How about we just part ways amicably?"

Sha Yanyao sneered and said, "I'm afraid it won't end well. Mother has been so angry that she couldn't eat all day and has been chanting in the Buddhist temple. What do you think we should do? Mother has always thought that after me, it's your turn. Go and persuade her."

Gui'er hadn't expected Madam to say this. After hearing what Sha Yanyao said, she was surprised and said, "Really? Then I'll go and take a look."

Then he turned around and was about to leave, but after thinking for a moment, he turned back and asked Sha Yanyao: "Brother, what are you really thinking? She will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. If she comes back to our house, is it okay?"

Sha Yanyao's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything. Gui'er waited for a while, but didn't get a reply. She didn't dare to ask any more, so she turned around and left.

I arrived at the Buddhist temple next to my wife's bedroom, and sure enough, she was there, meditating and counting her beads.

Gui'er walked in and said cautiously, "Mother, I heard from my eldest brother that you didn't have much of an appetite today. Are you feeling unwell?"

The lady counted the beads on her hand completely before stopping, sighing and saying, "How can I eat when my family is in trouble?"

Gui'er advised, "Let's put aside the big issues for now. Your health is the most important thing. You should eat something."

The lady smiled and said, "You are a sensible child. But in this situation, how do you think this will end?"

Guier asked, "Are you talking about my sister-in-law? The doctor said she should be able to be discharged in a few days. What should we do then?"

The lady closed her eyes and said painfully, "I can't afford to lose this man. I shouldn't have listened to your father and married this woman. She's just like her mother. She looks honest and decent, but she's actually a slut inside. I almost became sworn sisters with her, but she actually set her sights on my man and has been pestering him for so many years. How shameless!"

Gui'er widened her eyes in surprise. She didn't expect there was such a secret. However, she was not familiar with the affairs of the previous generation and didn't dare to say anything. Now she was just worried about how to get rid of the hard job of taking care of Song Tingting.

"How about? I'll contact her brother and take her back, so that no one will be unhappy."

The lady said nothing for a long time before she said, "Don't worry about this matter."

Gui'er nodded tactfully and said to the lady, "Then please take care of yourself, mother." Then she walked out.

She was worried when she returned to her room. Dingxiang made tea and brought it in with some snacks.

Ding Xiang said, "Miss, I know you're a good person, but there's one thing I still want to tell you. Why are those maids and servants close to the eldest young lady being ostracized by everyone? It must be with the tacit approval of the eldest young master and his wife. Moreover, the eldest young master and his wife threw the eldest young lady in the hospital because they wanted to make her suffer. You've helped arrange everything. When the eldest young lady makes the eldest young master lose face so much, she won't have to suffer at all. They will definitely feel uncomfortable. Why don't you just stop caring about it?"

Gui'er finally came to her senses and asked Dingxiang to call Ah Cheng over. "Do you still have the money I gave you? Judging from what my eldest brother and mother are saying, I'm afraid they don't want to take my eldest sister-in-law back. And if I continue to take care of things here, they're probably going to be unhappy."

"If there's any money left, give it to her maid tomorrow. After that, don't go to the hospital openly. While I'm at school, find an opportunity to go to the hospital every day to see if there's anything you need. And tell her maid not to tell anyone else in the family that you've been there."

Ah Cheng nodded after hearing this.

After that, Gui'er went to and from school as if nothing had happened. She never mentioned Song Tingting again, and no one in the Sha Mansion mentioned her either. Gui'er went to the hotel every one or two days to meet up with Manager Zhang. In fact, there was no progress, she just showed up to ease Manager Zhang's tension and anxiety.

Shopkeeper Zhang was also very understanding and said, "I know it's not easy. We can't possibly try to jailbreak someone. The risk is too high and it's not worth it."

Gui Er nodded and said, "Let's observe. Something happened in the Sha Mansion these past two days. I wanted to ask Sha Yanyao to help communicate with them, but now I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to care."
