The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

"My darling!" Shen Jinzhu was startled and quickly went over to catch Yu Ningyao, who was almost falling off the bed.

"Sister-in-law, is it really necessary to hit children so hard when they're just playing around?" she questioned sharply.

Although Yu Ningyao is not her biological child, she is registered under her name.

Moreover, the child was sensible and well-behaved, which she liked very much.

The whole family couldn't help but call her "my darling".

In the ten days or so since she came to the manor, they have already treated her like their own child.

Seeing the huge swelling on her head and the faint traces of blood seeping out, Shen Jinzhu's eyes reddened with anger.

It's so swollen; you can imagine how much pain it must have hurt when it hit the ground.

Cui Ruixin's face stiffened. Her purpose in coming here was not to ruin her relationship with Shen Jinzhu.

She felt a little embarrassed, so she immediately put on a guilty look and handed her daughter over to the maid to coax.

Holding Shen Jinzhu's hand, he said with shame, "Third sister-in-law, I was too hasty earlier. As you know, Weiwei has been the apple of our Marquis's eye since she was born, and has never suffered the slightest injury or grievance. That just now really startled me."

"You know, I almost died when I gave birth to Weiwei. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the apple of my eye. If anything were to happen to her, I wouldn't be able to go on living. That's why I'm so nervous."

"Third sister-in-law, I really didn't mean to run into Ning Yao. We're both mothers, you'll understand."

After saying that, she deliberately looked at Yu Ningyao: "Ningyao, your aunt knows she was wrong. Can you forgive your aunt?"

What a theatrical mistress of the Marquis's mansion!

Yu Ningyao complained inwardly.

The way she looked at her earlier clearly showed she wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, so why is she pretending to be friendly now?

And then there are those who deliberately pushed her, but with a few words, they claim it was "an accidental bump," they really know how to make excuses.

Yu Ningyao had no intention of forgiving her. Without saying a word, she turned her head and snuggled into her mother's arms, leaving only the back of her head for her to see.

Shen Jinzhu felt sorry for her daughter and ordered someone to fetch a doctor.

She couldn't afford to fall out with her sister-in-law, after all, her sister-in-law was the lady of the Marquis's mansion, and Yu Ruowei was also a proper young lady of the Marquis's mansion. She could only smile and say, "It's alright, it's just the two children playing around. Sister-in-law, you don't need to be so anxious next time."

“Yes, yes, you’re right.” Cui Ruixin nodded hurriedly.

She said earnestly, "I came here today to discuss with you the matter of holding a first birthday celebration for Ning Yao. After all, the doctor said that she should have just turned one year old. You see, Weiwei had a first birthday celebration, and Ning Yao is also a girl from our Marquis's mansion. We should treat them equally. She absolutely cannot be shortchanged from what is due."

Shen Jinzhu, who was initially somewhat dissatisfied, was moved upon hearing these words.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't that be a bit too conspicuous?"

Is it really appropriate for an adopted daughter to have such a grand belated first birthday celebration?

“What’s so ostentatious about it? They’re all daughters of our Marquis’s household, and Ning Yao is a perfect match for them. We’ll invite some relatives and friends so they can get to know her. What do you think?” Cui Ruixin said with a smile.

“Okay, then I’ll listen to my sister-in-law.” Shen Jinzhu nodded in agreement.

Just then, the doctor arrived.

When Cui Ruixin took a look, she was surprised to find that the person invited was Zhang Miaosheng from Huichuntang.

Zhang Miaosheng was the most famous doctor in the capital.

His house calls are not cheap; the consultation fee alone is ten taels of silver.

A servant's monthly salary is no more than two taels of silver.

It's just a bump on the head, why make such a fuss?

Upon seeing Zhang Miaosheng, Cui Ruixin stopped and watched him examine Yu Ningyao.

"He bumped his head and bled a little. If it's not treated properly, it might leave a scar." Zhang Miaosheng frowned.

The impact was head-on; if the woman has a scar on her face, it might be difficult for her to get married in the future.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinzhu's expression immediately changed.

"Dr. Zhang, is there any good way to prevent my daughter from having a scar?"

Zhang Miaosheng replied, "I have a special skin-reducing ointment that can reduce swelling and prevent scarring after three days of application. However, it is a bit pricey. One hundred taels of silver per bottle."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care how expensive it is, as long as my daughter won't have a scar." Shen Jinzhu didn't hesitate to tell her maid to fetch the money and give it to the doctor.

Zhang Miaosheng handed her a sky-blue medicine bottle.

Cui Ruixin, who was standing to the side, was furious.

A bottle of ointment costs one hundred taels of silver. Is that ointment made of gold?

They're already spending so much money on this girl after only a few days of raising her. If they raise her for over ten years, how much of what belongs to Weiwei will she take away?

Yu Ningyao's eyes widened when she heard the price.

The Marquis only gave his mistress one hundred taels of silver a month, but her mother spent one hundred taels of silver on a single plaster for her.

Yu Ningyao was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

But she also felt his deep love.

Yu Ningyao clenched her fists: she made up her mind that when she grew up, she would definitely take good care of her adoptive mother.

……

The next day, Yu Ningyao was awakened by a series of exclamations.

"Wow! Huichuntang's Lingji Ointment is so effective! After just one night of application, there's no trace of it left. The head injury Miss had is completely gone!" The maid, Shanhu, exclaimed in surprise as she carried Yu Ningyao to show her mistress.

"It really is true. This ointment is truly effective. One hundred taels of silver was well spent." Shen Jinzhu was also very surprised.

[No, that's because the host's innate "beloved concubine" divine body ability has taken effect.]

The system couldn't help but mutter to itself.

How can its credit be stolen by others?

Reminded by the system, Yu Ningyao suddenly realized what was going on.

It turned out to be the case.

If a favored concubine has scars or injuries, how can she win the emperor's favor?

Yu Ningyao blinked, a thought flashing through her mind.

[System, since I have this ability, does that prove I'm very suitable for martial arts?]

[Also, if you get injured one day and recover the next, wouldn't that allow you to exploit the bug indefinitely?]

As long as they don't kill me, I'll be jumping around like a madman the next day.

I misunderstood you, this ability is so useful!!!

system:……

Good, good, the host has found a loophole again.

The abilities of this innate favored concubine heroine's holy body can actually be used in this way.

[By the way, I was still a bit dizzy from the crash yesterday, and I forgot to ask you, did I actually complete half of my task yesterday?]

I fought with Yu Ji (Ruowei) for the rattle drum, but I won.

[Literally defeating someone, does that count as defeating them?]

Yu Ning was unreasonable but also had a strong sense of justice.
