The sunlight shone on the phoenix-wing cloud hairpin on Shen Ruyao's hair, reflecting dazzling golden light.

Ning'er looked back and thought to herself, as expected.

Shen Ruyao looked down at her, but turned to the maid beside her and said, "Go and tell grandma that Sister Ning is about to go with me to pay respects to mother."

The maid knew her mistress's temper very well and realized that it was useless to persuade her at this time, so she just bowed and went in to reply.

Chuncao's eyes widened. Ever since she followed the girl, everyone she met and met had always treated them gently and politely, but this was the first time she had seen such a disrespectful and domineering attitude.

Ning Er held Chun Cao's hand, shook her head almost imperceptibly, and said softly, "I'll go for a walk with Miss Yao."

Shen Ruyao showed an expression that said "you're smart" but she didn't even bother pretending to be so when she wasn't in front of her elders. She asked directly, "When did you come to our house?"

Ning'er thought for a moment and said, "About ten days."

Shen Ruyao snorted in dissatisfaction: "He took advantage of our absence to sneak into the mansion."

Ning Er was somewhat speechless and a little amused. She simply answered in a serious tone, "I came to visit the old lady on behalf of my grandmother. Fortunately, the old lady liked me and I stayed for a few more days."

She still remembered the identity that the Marquis and the old lady had assigned to her.

All in all, this was the first time Ning'er had left Songshou Hall since entering the mansion.

In the Marquis's Mansion, Songshou Hall where Madam Zhu lived was in the west, while Guiyi Hall where Madam Luo lived was in the northeast. The distance between them was not far, but the road was winding and dotted with flowers, trees and pavilions, so it was not fast to walk there.

Shen Ruyao pressed her, "Since you are just a poor relative who came to ask for money, how could you know Daddy? How can Daddy care whether you get sick or not?"

Being offended like this, Ning Er pursed her lips unhappily, but still replied: "The Marquis has always been kind and compassionate, and sympathetic to the poor and the weak, so I asked a few more questions."

But somehow this sentence made Shen Ruyao feel unlucky. She said angrily: "I asked you with good intentions, but you just ignored me!"

Ning Er suddenly felt puzzled, looked at her and said seriously: "Miss Yao, I am not perfunctory to you."

She silently added in her heart, You don’t mean well either.

Shen Ruyao became even angrier when she saw this: "Cai Tao!"

Since she was born, she was the only legitimate daughter in the entire marquis's mansion. Her parents only had her as a daughter, and when her second uncle's concubines saw her, they all behaved as obediently as quails.

She was already unhappy about the care Ning'er received from her father today. Now that she saw that Ning'er did not admit her mistake in a humble manner, the anger in her heart was even greater and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Growing up, there has never been a girl of the same age who was so annoying in front of her.

She called out to her closest personal maid, "Cai Tao, punish her!"

Cai Tao looked at her young lady in embarrassment and whispered, "Miss Ning is a relative of the mansion, young lady cannot punish her."

After hearing this, Shen Ruyao's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I can't punish her, I'll let my mother punish her!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Ning'er's wrist and dragged her towards Guiyi Hall.

Ning'er's body was so weak that even the wind could not withstand such torture. After just a few steps, her face turned pale and her breathing became disordered.

Chuncao was immediately shocked. She rushed after him and tried to grab him: "Miss Yao, what are you doing? Let our young lady go!"

Shen Ruyao was even more furious when she saw that a maid dared to come up and fight with her. She shouted, "Cai Tao, are you just going to stand by and watch? Stop her!"

Cai Tao was extremely anxious at this time. She knew that if she failed to stop the young lady, she would be punished by the lady afterwards. If she implicated her cousin, she would not be able to get away with it in front of the Marquis!

Seeing Ning'er being clamped and dragged by her like that, Chuncao stamped her feet in anger, and her tone of voice changed in anxiety:

"Don't run, don't run! Girl, girl!"

She was alone and fearful of hurting the young lady by pulling her too hard, yet she did not dare to leave for a moment to seek help.

When Zhenzhen was in a state of confusion, a grown man's voice suddenly appeared. He asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Chuncao saw an adult coming suddenly, and she didn't care who it was. She just rushed over and cried, "Hurry up and save the girl, someone is going to die!"

Shen Chongyao was extremely shocked. Although he didn't have much martial arts experience, he was a strong young man after all. He subdued Shen Ruyao without much effort.

Only then did I have time to take a look at the chaos.

He saw his niece holding a skinny little girl in her hands and running with her face flushed. When he looked at the girl again, her face was as pale as gold paper and she was half hanging on the ground, gasping for breath.

Chuncao couldn't help but hug her and cry when she saw her daughter being tortured like this. Shen Ruyao had done this out of a rage, and now seeing Ning'er in such a miserable state, she suddenly felt guilty.

When Shen Chongyao saw the group of maids and young girls, he knew something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Cai Tao, go and report to the old lady."

He took off his badge and said to Chuncao, "Stop crying! Take my badge and go to the outer courtyard to get the doctor!"

Shen Chongyao saw that the little girl had her eyes tightly closed, but tears were rolling down from the corners of her eyes. Her chest was heaving violently and she couldn't catch her breath for a long time.

He hurriedly said to Shen Ruyao: "Go and see if your mother has any emergency pills!"

Unexpectedly, when he turned around after he finished speaking, he found that Shen Ruyao had disappeared without a trace with her maid!

Shen Chongyao was a little angry now, but there was no one around and it was obvious that the girl could not stay in this place any longer.

Just when I was getting extremely anxious, I suddenly saw a goose yellow figure passing by not far away.

He couldn't help but shout loudly: "Come on!"

When the person heard the call, she ran over very quickly. She saw Ning'er half lying on the ground. Her face changed immediately and she hurriedly untied her cloak and spread it on the ground.

She glared at Shen Chongyao fiercely: "What are you still standing there for? Come on and help me!"

Shen Chongyao hurriedly followed the instructions and helped lift the person onto the cloak.

The woman hurriedly leaned Ning'er's head back against her arms, quickly pressed a few acupoints, then took out a bottle of medicated oil from her arms and placed it in front of Ning'er's nose for her to smell, and whispered to her how to try to adjust her breathing.

After such a long struggle, Shen Chongyao couldn't help but hold his breath and wait. Ning'er's expression gradually relaxed and she no longer had difficulty breathing like before.

The woman was furious and questioned Shen Chongyao:

"What's going on? Don't you know that she has just recovered from a serious illness and her illness is still not cured?"

Shen Chongyao was scolded so hard that he didn't dare to talk back. He was stunned for a long time before he reacted: I really don't know!

The woman had a pretty face, and when she was angry she looked even more awe-inspiring. She was none other than Liu Ying, the doctor in charge of pharmacy sent from the palace to the marquis's mansion.

Seeing Ning'er gradually coming back, Liu Ying said to Shen Chongyao, "Have you sent someone to invite the palace doctor? We can't just randomly look for someone. We have to find the doctor who originally treated her body."

She looked at Ning'er's face with great concern, wondering, "Last time I saw her, she looked much better. How did she suddenly become like this?

Shen Chongyao had no choice but to tell Liu Ying everything he had seen. Liu Ying became even angrier after hearing this, but because of the patient, she could not get angry.

Seeing that Ning'er's life was not in danger for the time being, she naturally told Shen Chongyao: "Hold her and follow me. I have all the medicines and instruments. Take a look at her first."

Shen Chongyao showed an embarrassment: "I, this, men and women should not touch each other."

Liu Ying spat at him: "How old is she? How old are you? Why are you still caring about that? Wrap your cloak tightly and walk steadily. Don't fall down Miss Ning..."

Shen Chongyao inexplicably followed her instructions, but when he heard the last part, he shuddered and almost fell to the ground:

Ning, Ning, Miss Ning?!
