A life of ups and downs is pure joy

"Big sister, do you feel that Qinghuan seems a little different from before?" Lin Qingyao and Lin Yuzhi were walking together, and Lin Yuzhi said.

"He's in better health now, and surprisingly, he talks much less." Lin Qingyao thought about it and felt a little confused.

"Besides, she used to call me big brother but now she seems so distant." Thinking of Xiao Qinghuan who used to act like a spoiled child towards him whenever they met, Lin Yuzhi felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Qinghuan is ten years old now. It's normal that she's not as close to you as before. After all, she's a grown woman. But I've raised her since she was a child, so it's a bit strange after all. Could it be..." Lin Qingyao thought for a moment and called Qiuye over. "Go to the Deer God Hall and ask about Qinghuan's condition. Qiuxiang, secretly call Lixue here. I have something to ask her."

Lin Yuzhi glanced at Lin Qingyao and said, "Big sister, please worry about Qinghuan. There will be an academic exchange in a few days, and I have to be busy with this matter recently."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy." After saying that, Lin Qingyao took the maids and old women back to the yard. Halfway through, she asked them to go to another place.

In Chenxiang Garden, Xue Feng, who was pregnant, was sitting on the couch mending small clothes and pants. Lin Qingru was lying beside her obediently, watching her mother, and handing her a pair of scissors and a ball of thread from time to time.

"The little boy in my belly must behave well and not kick me like Ru'er did when he was a child." Lin Qingru gently kissed Xue Feng's belly through her clothes and touched it with her chubby hands.

"Ruru, are you happy to see your sister Huan today?" Xue Feng touched Lin Qingru's hair lovingly and adjusted the small velvet flower on her bun.

"I'm both happy and unhappy. Sister Huan used to play cat's tuck with me, but not today. Only Brother Ancai played with me. But Sister Huan gave me her favorite little velvet flower, so I'm happy again. By the way, Sister Huan said she wanted to eat the sugar bean, yam and pear blossom cake that I made." Qingru pointed to the cakes on the table and said in a coquettish voice with her head tilted.

Xue Feng smiled knowingly, "Your sister Huan has always had poor health and a poor appetite since she was a child. Whenever she couldn't eat, she would pester me to make this yam cake. She has never tired of it since she was a child."

"I'll go make some for the fifth lady and send it to her right away." Nanny Zhang smiled, rolled up her sleeves and went to the small kitchen.

"Mother, father is coming back soon, everyone is so happy, but why am I not happy?" When Xue Feng thought about how her young lady should have been childhood sweethearts with the eldest young master of the Dong family, and would not have died so young, she hated Lin Muchang from the bottom of her heart. Now she had to give birth to children for him, a fate that most maids envied, but it was the most disgusting thing to her.

"Ruru, you must be good to Sister Huan and Brother Ancai for the rest of your life, okay? Especially Sister Huan, who lost her mother when she was young. Empress Lan is the best person in the world. You must always remember to protect Sister Huan for the rest of your life." Xue Feng took Lin Qingru's hand and told her seriously that it was Zhang Yulan, the young lady who could only live in her memory, who saved her entire family's lives.

Lin Qingru nodded, seeming to understand, and hugged Xue Feng and patted her gently, "Don't cry, mother, Ru'er will be obedient."

In Xiangxi Garden, Li Xue knelt timidly in front of Lin Qingyao. She had been trembling all the way since she left Lingzhu Garden, thinking that the incident had been discovered. As a result, her legs went weak when she came in front of the young lady and she fell to the ground.

"Why are you so scared? Just answer the girl honestly." Qiuxiang helped Lixue up.

"Does Qinghuan usually have any abnormal behavior?" Lin Qingyao combed her long black hair like a waterfall back and forth with a wooden comb.

"Fifth Miss, her appetite is much better than before." After saying that, he looked up at Lin Qingyao timidly, then quickly lowered his head.

"I know all this. Is there anything else that's different from before?" Lin Qingyao replied impatiently.

"Think about it carefully, is there anything unusual?" Qiuxiang added.

"Girl, she," Li Xue paused, not daring to continue.

"Speak, why are you dawdling?" Qiuxiang glanced at Lin Qingyao's expression and quickly spoke to urge Lixue.

"The girl seems to have forgotten the people and things from the past." Li Xue's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground again, hardly daring to look up.

"What did you say? When did that happen?" Lin Qingyao dropped the comb to the ground in surprise and stood up.

"The young lady complains of a headache every day when she wakes up, and no one can remember what she looks like. These days, it's only through Chuxia and I drawing and describing that we can barely remember the young master and the young lady." Li Xue said, then lay on the ground.

"You are so stupid! Qinghuan is so seriously ill, and you are still hiding it. You are all so ignorant. How can you take good care of Qinghuan? Is it because Madam Liu didn't teach you the rules well, or you haven't learned them at all?" Lin Qingyao shouted loudly. Madam Liu at the door hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and glanced at Li Xue who was shivering.

"Have you told Doctor Ge about this situation?"

"In the past few months, it was Doctor Xiao who took the girl's pulse. We also talked to him about it, but he just said to take good care of the girl."

"Tell Dongfu to invite Doctor Ge to come to the house right now." Lin Qingyao sat down and gave some more instructions. Then she glanced at Li Xue and said, "You can go back first."
