Immediately, a servant stepped forward to do as he was told.

Yu Youyao’s voice was gentle. “Grandmother, we have to keep the air in the house clear during the moxibustion. It’s not good for there to be people around. Why don’t you and Grandmother Song sit at the side first?”

When Old Madam Yu heard this, she understood that although these words seemed to be directed at her, they were actually directed at Old Madam Song. “Since we’ve found a way to treat Mingzhao, we’ll do our best and leave it to fate. Don’t interfere here and affect Imperial Physician Shi.”

Old Madam Song had listened carefully to the conversation between Yu Youyao and Imperial Physician Shi.

Previously, she had heard that Imperial Physician Shi admired the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill very much. Just now, when she heard that Imperial Physician Shi treated Yu Youyao differently, she felt a little more confident.

At this moment, after hearing Yu Youyao’s words, Old Madam Song immediately stood up.

After staying up for a few days, Old Madam Song felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Yu Youyao was close enough to support Old Madam Song. “Grandmother Song, be careful.”

Old Madam Song patted her hand. ‘Good child, it’s all thanks to you. If Mingzhao can survive this calamity, I…” At this point, her eyes welled up again and she said hoarsely, “I really don’t know how to thank you.”

Yu Youyao shook her head. “Grandmother Song, don’t talk. Go to the side and eat something to rest.”

Old Madam Song was exhausted and was relying on her worry for her grandson. In a while, regardless of whether Song Mingzhao was “good” or “not good”, Old Madam Songs health would suffer along with him.

Old Madam Song allowed Yu Youyao to help her out of the inner room and sit on the couch.

After placing a soft pillow on the couch, Old Madam Songs body tilted upwards. She immediately felt her body go limp, and even her mind was extremely exhausted.

Yu Youyao instructed the maidservants in the room, ‘Bring some light and easy food.”

The maidservant received the order and quickly left.

Yu Youyao poured a cup of hot tea and took out a red pill the size of a peanut from her pouch. She crushed the pill and added it into the tea. After stirring it slightly, she handed it to Old Madam Song.

Old Madam Song took the tea and lowered her head to take a sip.

Immediately, she felt a bitter and sweet taste on the tip of her tongue. The flavours overflowed and intertwined. When a mouthful of tea entered her throat and her stomach, even the suffocation in her heart eased a little.

Old Madam Song knew that Yu Youyao had probably brought something impressive again. “This is?”

Yu Youyao explained, “It’s a mental suppression pill. It has the effect of calming the heart and calming the mind. I saw that Grandmother Song was not in good spirits, so I took a pill and put it into the tea for her to take. I hope it will have some effect on Grandmother Songs body.”

The Mental Suppression Pill was not bad for mental fatigue, and it was also quite rare. Her grandmother especially liked it. Every morning, she would burn a pill. She said that after smelling this incense pill, she felt especially at ease and even her mind became clear.

Due to its refreshing effect, she usually carried a few pills with her.

Medicinal fragrances were usually used in both incense and medicine, so they could naturally be eaten directly.

Unknowingly, Old Madam Song had finished her cup of tea and felt a little better. “Ever since Mingzhao fainted, I haven’t been able to feel at ease for a while. After using the calming pill, I even feel a little more at ease.” As she spoke, she looked at Yu Youyao. “I really don’t know how to thank you.”

She knew very well that Old Madam Yu was not only benevolent to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence by bringing her granddaughter over today, but she had also done her best.

If Mingzhao…

That was also because she was unlucky!

At the thought of this, Old Madam Songs eyes welled up again.

Old Madam Yu hurriedly said, “You old thing, why are you crying again? Mingzhao has been a blessed child since he was young. Good people are blessed by the heavens. Don’t cry anymore. It’s inauspicious!”

Old Madam Song quickly wiped her tears.

After Mingzhao’ s accident, she only felt that the sky was falling and the ground was sinking. Now that her old sister was here, she felt a little more comfortable.

At this moment, Song Wanhui rushed into the house with a few maidservants.

Seeing Old Madam Yu and Yu Youvao sitting in the hall, her eves immediately turned red. She hurriedly went forward and greeted Old Madam Yu,

“Grandmother Yu, you’re here.”

This young lady was like a dried flower.

Old Madam Yu’ s heart ached and she felt terrible.

It seemed that while Song Mingzhao had been in a coma for the past few days,

Old Madam Song had only been worried about her eldest grandson. The

Madam of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence had also been worried sick. In such a huge family, there was no lack of people inside or out. This eldest daughter of the first wife had come to help manage their situation.

Old Madam Yu quickly pulled Song Wanhui into her arms. “Little girl, it’s been hard on you.”

Song Wanhui’ s eyes welled up with tears again. She said hoarsely, “I’ m not young anymore. I should learn from Yao Yao and help share the burden of the elders in the family.”

There were many people in the fourth branch of the Zhenguo Marquis

Residence. There were more than ten young misses alone.

Song Wanhui was the eldest daughter of the first wife and had always been the most doted on daughter in the residence. Since she was young, her grandmother often brought her along to raise her. Her mother would also bring her along to teach her.

Teaching by example—

This was the difference between the daughter of the first wife and the daughter of a concubine.

The Zhenguo Marquis Residence had her grandmother and her mother managing it. It had always been very orderly. She did not have to bear the burden of managing the household at such a young age like Yao Yao.

She was still a pampered daughter of the family.

It wasn’t until her big brother suddenly fell unconscious that her grandmother, who had always been strong, seemed to have lost her spine and her spirits collapsed.

Her mother, who had always been shrewd and capable, seemed to have lost her soul. She cried all day and even had to endure her grief to think of a way to treat her big brother.

Her father had to care about the matters of the royal court every day and worry about her big brother’s health. The fatigue and worry on his face could not be concealed.

The main house was gloomy.

However, although the aunties were saying comforting words, they couldn’t hide the gloating in their eyes.

As the eldest daughter of the first wife, she could only stand up and help manage the family matters and share the burden of her elders.

Unknowingly, there was a hint of determination in her granddaughter’s gentle

eyes. Old Madam Song’s heart ached, but she was also relieved. “Good, good. I really didn’t dote on you for nothing.

Song Wanhui sniffed and came out of Old Madam Yu’ s arms. She instructed the maidservant she had brought over, “Hurry up and prepare dinner.

Grandmother hasn’t eaten anything in the morning. She must be hungry now!”

There was light and appetizing food in the kitchen. When she found out that Jiuzhao Pavilion was asking for food, she quickly brought her maidservant over.

Upon receiving the order, the maidservant quickly placed the food on the table.

Song Wanhui hurriedly said, “Grandmother Yu came over early in the morning. I don’t think you ate much during breakfast. Why don’t you eat more?” As if worried that Old Madam Yu would refuse, she continued, “Grandmother hasn’t had a good appetite recently and doesn’t eat much. With you accompanying her, perhaps Grandmother can eat more..”
