Shen Yitian’s food had just been placed on the table and she hadn’t even started eating when she fainted.

Yuan Dutou glanced over there indifferently, then turned around and thanked Grandma Li.

"You are thoughtful. Miss Shen is very capable and didn't cause any trouble." He said lightly.

He wasn't being polite; Shen Yitian had indeed not caused them any trouble along the way. Officials, after all, dreaded trouble the most, and who wouldn't be happy to get something for nothing?

"Brothers, please sit down and eat. Go to bed early tonight. This section of the road is difficult to walk on. We have to set off earlier tomorrow." He ordered.

Shen Yitian nodded, glanced at the flustered Mother Song vaguely, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, took the chopsticks handed to her by Grandma Li and started eating.

"Rong'er, Rong'er, wake up." Mother Song was panicked when she saw Song Yuerong fainted, and quickly patted her face with her hand.

But Song Yuerong just fell into her arms without any reaction.

She was so anxious that she almost cried. She turned around and shouted, "Tian'er, come here quickly. Rong'er seems to have fainted from the fever."

Shen Yitian put a piece of fragrant braised pork into her mouth indifferently, then raised her eyes to look at her: "Ah? You have a fever!"

Song's mother replied, "Yes, she has had a fever for the past two days. She probably fainted now because she couldn't stand the high fever." Song's mother thought that she finally couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to help, so she answered seriously.

Who knew Shen Yitian picked up another piece of greens with chopsticks and put it into the bowl, with a puzzled look on her face: "Ah? What's wrong? It's not me who has a fever, why are you calling me?"

"You are her sister-in-law!" Song's mother brought up this sentence again.

Shen Yitian frowned and suddenly remembered the classic lines from her favorite TV series in her previous life.

"If you have a fever, go see a doctor. I can't treat illnesses!" she said, raising her voice.

When Song's mother heard this, her eyes widened. She just wanted Shen Yitian to send someone to call a doctor, but who knew she would hear such a sentence.

Seeing that she wanted to say something more, Grandma Li took a few steps forward and blocked Mother Song's sight.

"Miss, you must have been traveling so hard. Eat something quickly. I've already asked someone to prepare some hot water. After dinner, go up and have a good soak. I'll ask Shengsheng to give you a massage to relieve your fatigue."

Her voice was gentle, but it made Mother Song's face even uglier.

"Grandma Li, your young lady is my Song family's wife, and you're just going to let her stay out of this?" She supported Song Yuerong and couldn't leave, so she could only count on Shen Yitian for help.

But Grandma Li snorted coldly: "Young Lady is the master and I am the servant. How dare I interfere in your dealings? Isn't this what you, Madam Song, taught me? Have you forgotten it so quickly?"

Grandma Li remembered clearly how Mother Song insulted them behind Shen Yitian's back at the Song residence that day.

"I just want to stay out of this. What do you think? Divorce me?" Shen Yitian suddenly stuck half of her head out from behind Grandma Li, looked at Mother Song and asked sincerely.

Song's mother was furious, but Song Yuerong was in a very bad condition. If she continued to argue, she might delay the treatment.

"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, please send someone to call a doctor." She could only turn around and beg at Third Aunt Song and Second Aunt Song, who were also from the eldest branch of the Song family.

Aunt Song waved her hand and said, "I can't go. I'm still injured. Don't tell me, I seem to have a fever too. Sister-in-law, please go get a doctor. I'm so sore all over and I don't have any strength at all."

As she spoke, she leaned back, looking as if she couldn't even stand up.

"I am also an exiled prisoner. The captain said that I am not allowed to leave the team at will. I can't go." Aunt Song waved her hand and was not going to interfere in this matter at all.

Mother Song's eyes were bloodshot as she stared at them for a long time. But Second Aunt Song picked up the bowl brought by the waiter and started eating, completely ignoring whether Mother Song was looking at her or not.

Song's mother had no choice but to ask the waiter where the bunk bed room was. After putting Song Yuerong to sleep on the bunk bed, she hurried out and begged the official to call a doctor.

Yuan Dutou didn't give in at first, and Song's mother was extremely anxious. Finally, she was so angry that she knelt down.

"Captain, I beg you, my daughter is really running a high fever. If you don't want to run, I'll go by myself. I'm just going to get the doctor and will be back soon. I won't run away, absolutely not."

Her heartfelt words and tearful expression reminded Yuan Dutou of his mother at home. After all, even though she was a prisoner, she was still a mother.

"Brother Hu, go with her. Go quickly and come back quickly, don't play any tricks. Also, ask the doctor to prepare more medicine. From what I see, several people seem to be unwell." Captain Yuan glanced at the unhappy prisoners and sighed.

I originally wanted to speed up their journey. Given their current condition, it would be good enough if they didn't fall behind. How could I speed up further?

After getting approval from Yuan Dutou, Song's mother finally went out to ask for a doctor.

Shen Yitian raised the end of her eyebrows, as if she was thinking about something.

"Grandma Li, that person looks pitiful with a fever. I can't finish this braised pork, so I'll give it to her to replenish her body." She raised her head and said to Grandma Li with a smile.

Grandma Li frowned: "Miss, didn't you say you wanted to draw a clear line between you and them?"

Shen Yitian seemed to be in a dilemma: "We should draw a clear line, but I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to see others suffer so much. Anyway, I can't finish the braised pork, so I'll give it to her."

What she meant was alms.

Even if Grandma Li was unwilling to give the Song family a bargain, since the young lady had said so, she had no reason to disobey.

"Shengsheng, please take this meat over. Since it's a reward from the young lady, remember to ask her to thank you."

Then he seemed to remember something: "Oh, Miss Song fainted, this meat..."

She looked at Shen Yitian with some embarrassment.

Shen Yitian smiled and said, "She must have fainted from hunger. When she saw these things coming up, she kept staring at them. Poor thing, Shengsheng, you must remember to wake her up. People need to have something in their stomach to recover from their illness."

She spoke so sincerely that the officials couldn't help but sigh, "Mrs. Shen is really too kind. The Song family ate steamed buns behind your back at the beginning without letting you know."

Shen Yitian waved her hand: "I don't like to argue with others. I am a kind person and don't want to keep these things in mind."

After saying that, she buried her head and continued eating.

Damn it, it’s her first time playing this kind of white lotus role and she’s still a little unskilled.

As for the braised pork, Song Yuerong was indeed hungry, and it was also true that she couldn't eat any more. However, people with a high fever like this were most averse to greasy, meaty foods. She didn't know if she would vomit after eating such a large plate of braised pork.

While she was thinking this, Shengsheng had already obediently carried the braised pork to the dormitory room.

Aunt Song and the others were sitting not far from Shen Yitian, and she heard everything Shen Yitian said just now.

I originally thought Shen Yitian was just talking, but I didn't expect that she actually sent the little girl to deliver meat to Song Yuerong.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm still a little worried about Rong'er. I'd better go and see her." There was greed in her eyes, but she said this to Second Aunt Song.

After saying that, without waiting for Aunt Song to answer, he took Song Xiaer's hand and followed Shengsheng to the room where Song Yuerong was.
