"Madam Du, why is Sister Xian'er always in poor health? Is there something wrong?"

Sheng Minmin's eyes fell on Madam Du and Du Juan's faces. Du Juan's lips were still tightly pursed.

Madam Du forced a smile on her old face and whispered, "Madam, the young lady has always been weak..."

Seeing the looks of the two, Sheng Minmin sighed in her heart, thinking that these two people probably guessed Sheng Yong's evil ambitions, and felt that "Huang Yaning" was unreliable, so they simply said nothing.

If he said one more word and Sheng Yong became suspicious, his young lady might even lose her life.

Sheng Minmin didn't make things difficult for them. She looked around the room again and found that there was only a small charcoal fire in the room.

Servants are used to changing their attitudes according to the situation. Huang Xianjing is not favored and is just a cousin, so her food, clothing and other expenses are probably deducted a lot.

"Sister Xian, are you willing to go to school?"

Sheng Minmin looked at Huang Xianjing with heartache and asked softly.

"There is a Master Lin in the mansion. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is kind and likes girls like you who are well-behaved and cute. Are you willing to learn from Master Lin?"

Sister Xian was very excited when she heard this.

Aunt Du once said that her aunt hired two famous teachers specifically for her cousin, one to teach dance and the other to teach music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

She was full of longing; studying, playing the piano and painting sounded very interesting.

She also wanted to go out more often, but she immediately felt lost again...

Her cousin didn't like her, and if they went to school together, she was afraid that her cousin would dislike her, and her situation in the future would be even more difficult.

But she is eager to study...

For a moment, Huang Xianjing didn't know how to answer.

Aunt Du beside her naturally knew the young lady's desire, but the young lady was too young, and there were so many poisonous snakes and fierce beasts in this mansion. If something happened, the young lady's only bloodline would be gone...

If the young lady cannot be saved, how will she face her in the underground in the future?

The young lady can only be wronged and live in this small space in the yard. She is a poor young lady and young lady...

Aunt Du wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and Du Juan's eyes also turned red. The room was suddenly filled with a strong sense of sadness.

In this mood, Sheng Minmin suddenly remembered her newborn child in her previous life.

She didn't know whether her child was a boy or a girl until she died...

If she gave birth to a daughter, would she be as well-behaved and cute as Sister Xian?

"Xian Jie'er, I am your aunt, and you are my brother's only blood in this world. I will definitely take good care of you!"

"Aunt..." When Xian Jie'er heard this, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and threw herself into Sheng Minmin's arms and started crying.

The child's body was soft and smelled of milk. Sheng Minmin hugged Xian Jie'er, as if she was hugging the poor child from her previous life, or as if she was hugging herself from her previous life. She could no longer control her emotions.

She has been suppressing her emotions and enduring for so many days. No matter how much pain or hatred she feels in her heart, she cannot show it so that others will notice anything.

But at this moment, there is such an occasion where she finally doesn't need to suppress herself.

Sheng Minmin cried bitterly.

After crying, I felt a little relieved.

Xiangxiang washed Madam's face again before going out again.

Just now, when Xiangxiang brought the court doctor into the yard, she heard several people crying. She didn't want to let the court doctor laugh at the lady, so she went into the room to comfort the lady herself.

After everyone in the room had tidied up, he went out and brought in the court doctor.

The court doctor was in his 40s and was a bit taciturn.

After checking my pulse for a while, he just said that I was weak and needed to be taken good care of. He also said that many medicines were temporarily in short supply...

Sheng Minmin directly asked the court physician to go to her dowry pharmacy to get the medicine. After the medicine was prepared, the court physician nodded and left.

Sheng Minmin recalled that Sister Xian died young in her previous life and was very worried. Unfortunately, her pharmacy only had a full range of medicines, and the doctors in the clinic were mediocre in medical skills...

Forget it, let Sister Xian take a few doses of the medicine prescribed by the palace doctor first. After everyone in the palace knows that Sister Xian is not in good health and has taken the medicine, we can find a chance to invite a good doctor from outside to see Sister Xian.

As for studying, there is no need to rush.

Now Sheng Minmin understands that in her current situation, she must not reveal any flaws.

So she couldn't show any ill will towards the Sheng family.

In addition, there was no one else available except Qingying, so there was very little she could do.

For example, she can be appropriately cold towards Sheng Yong, but she cannot show hatred.

Sheng Yong has favored his aunt for many years, so it is understandable that she took the opportunity to "make a fuss" and change her loyal attitude towards Sheng Yong.

She has given up on her "husband", and in order to avoid arousing suspicion, she needs to pay more attention to Sheng Mingzhu and her siblings.

She should be like Huang Yaning in the past, showing that she loves her children, but not spoiling them blindly. She can subtly influence them to become a strict mother.

In this way, when I punish those people in the future as a mother, it won't arouse suspicion.

As for her attitude towards Huang Xianjing, Sheng Minmin decided to just play the role of an "aunt".

If she guessed correctly, Sheng Yong was a scheming man and must have many spies at home.

Sheng Yong could not hide any movement in the mansion, so she simply interacted with Huang Xianjing openly to avoid arousing Sheng Yong's suspicion.

It’s just that Sheng Mingzhu doesn’t like Huang Xianjing. As the “mother” who “loves” Sheng Mingzhu, she cannot show too much favor to Huang Xianjing for Sheng Mingzhu’s feelings.

If there is anything you want to send, just send someone to deliver it at night when there are fewer people around. This will both show the love of her aunt and take Sheng Mingzhu's feelings into consideration. This is the most appropriate way.

Sheng Minmin touched Huang Xianjing's little head and told Xianjie that there was no need to see her off. She told Madam Du and Dujuan to take Xiangxiang out.

Du Juan insisted on personally seeing the two off to the door.

Sheng Minmin said: "Take good care of your young lady. If you have any difficulties or need anything, come to me directly. In addition, I will have someone send you something in the evening."

Du Juan was stunned at first, then her face lit up and she saluted with an excited tone.

"Thank you very much, ma'am."

Only when Sheng Minmin could no longer be seen leaving did Du Juan briskly return to the yard.

"Xiangxiang, secretly pack 200 taels of silver for Sister Xian at night, and give her 300 taels of loose silver notes.

"Let Sister Xian buy whatever she wants to eat. Don't treat yourself badly or get cold. If you run out of money, come back to me..."

After saying this, Sheng Minmin felt that it was inappropriate. With Xian Jie'er's personality, she would definitely not take the initiative to ask for money even if she had no money. She sighed and added.

"Forget it. I guess she is not in a position to ask. You should send her some money once a month. She is in poor health and needs to be taken good care of.

"Also, I see that her clothes are old. You can get her some warm and inconspicuous leather and some soft cloth...

"Give Madam Du a piece of navy blue, and Du Juan will choose a brighter color. Then get three quilts and five catties of loose cotton..."

After Sheng Minmin gave some instructions, the maids in the room all looked at her with smiles on their faces.

Qingying stepped forward and adjusted Sheng Minmin's cloak, saying with a smile.

"Madam, my cousin is very lucky to have you as her aunt. Aunt Du is also loyal and capable. My cousin's life will definitely get better and better."
