An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

During the epidemic, not only did the handling of all matters in the mansion become more difficult, but many things that should have been done before the New Year were also delayed. One of them was the marriage of the Shen family's niece.

In a time when diseases are spreading everywhere, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive. Even if the wealthier families can save their lives, they will not have the time to hold weddings.

The Fu family had handed over a silk letter of apology at the beginning of the month, and the marriage was completely delayed. Sang Ling had no idea what Shen was thinking, and after listening to the scattered replies from the old lady, Wei Chu was leading Ah Zeng in from the courtyard.

The servant who was arranged to live in the third side courtyard was still reporting news about Wang Xun.

"He is usually very cautious, and I can't see where he goes. I followed him once and was discovered, but he didn't suspect too much. After that, I didn't dare to follow too closely."

Sang Ling's eyes were fixed on the account book. He nodded as he listened to the reply.

The person who was arranged by Nie Guang and Zhang to do it personally must be someone who knows to be cautious. Fortunately, Ah Zeng knew when to stop and did not expose his line.

"Okay, you don't have to follow me during this period of time."

Originally, every place in the mansion was under strict control at that time. Even if there was no need to keep an eye on it, Wang Xun's whereabouts would not be unclear, so she did not take the matter so seriously.

After finishing the matters at hand, he would go to Madam Zhaoyu's bedroom every morning and at sunset to take care of her. While reporting on the day's work, he would take over the work of the maids and serve and clean herself personally.

Even though Madam Zhaoyu was not used to it the first two times - and told her not to do so, she just smiled and passed it by.

Such a good opportunity to buy favors should not be missed.

"Guizhi Fuzi Decoction is somewhat effective. The two people in the backyard who were sick have been treated with this medicine in the past few days. One of them is already much better. He can finish the food sent to him and he looks energetic. The other one still has a low fever, but it is better than before. I plan to observe him for a few more days. Even if he is completely cured, we still have to be careful."

Actually, this prescription was written by Gao Heng, and Gao Heng is the cousin of this girl from the Sang family. Madam Zhaoyu couldn't help but be moved. She didn't want to rely on this family at the critical moment of life and death.

She nodded silently, and glanced down, watching the Sang family girl still concentrating on wiping the sweat off her palms, and then changed to another pair of copper basin towels. The sound of dripping water came clearly from the basin, and the Sang family girl moved down along the edge of the couch, her movements were gentle, and soon, a corner of the Boyun pattern brocade quilt was unveiled.

Fang Niang was standing by, and she placed a heater beside the couch to protect the exposed feet of the eldest lady from the cold. She was not surprised at all, but when she saw the second young lady covering the slightly dry feet with a handkerchief and wiping them inch by inch, she quietly stepped back and glanced at Cheng Niang who was standing beside the screen.

Madam Zhaoyu's heart also trembled.

Although I was still speculating on her sincerity in the first two days, and felt that she really didn't need to go to such lengths, even a rational person couldn't resist the shock before his eyes.

I heard that the Sang family girl lost her mother when she was young. Although she has a stepmother to take care of her, she is not her biological daughter after all, so she will probably have some unhappiness. In fact, it can be seen on the wedding day. If it was a tougher family, they would never let her be taken away. What's more, after the event, except for the Sang family's wife from the Gao family who came to visit, her own father and stepmother were still full of flattery.

I guess her days before getting married weren't very comfortable.

"Have you had your meal?" After hesitating for a while, Madam Zhaoyu finally chose a topic to start with.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had never eaten together alone before, so this sentence was actually an invitation. Sang Ling had been busy for the past two days and only ate a few mouthfuls of food.

"Never used it before." She smiled.

……

In the next few days, under the effect of Gao Heng's prescription, Madam Zhaoyu's condition gradually improved. She was finally able to get out of bed and move around, and have meals with the Second Young Master's wife every day - after all, the daughter-in-law had to come and report on housework every day, so they could have meals together.

"Madam and the second young master's wife have more and more to talk about." Aunt Fang couldn't help but sigh a few words to Aunt Cheng.

"Time reveals a person's true character. The young lady has been kind-hearted since she was a child. Everyone who has been with her will dislike her." Old Madam Cheng took out the eggs that had been cooked in the incense burner, tossed them between her hands to let them cool, and threw them to Fang's wife, "Come, come, take it."

How could Old Madam Fang have ever seen such a scene? Having grown up with Madam Zhaoyu, she has always behaved like a gentle lady.

They were afraid of wasting food, so they had to catch it immediately. They couldn't help but say "hot", and then they heard the old woman laugh, "You're like a little girl, you can even scream when you catch an egg."

As she spoke, the egg in her hand was taken back. In just two blinks of an eye, the eggshell was peeled off, and the smooth egg white was exposed. Cheng knew that Fang never ate egg yolks, so she cut it in half. The egg whites were a little burnt on both sides, and the room was filled with the aroma of roasted eggs. She read again, "Here, come, this piece is the most fragrant."

Aunt Fang took it with both hands and laughed foolishly without realizing it.
