Nanny Liu smiled. “Old Madam, quickly try the mooncake. Eldest Miss worked hard in the kitchen for the entire afternoon and made it herself. It’s shaped like a mooncake but it’s made of Eight Treasures Cake. The longevity pattern is made of red date lotus filling, the peony pattern is made with fresh flowers, and there’s also salty dried fruit filling, egg yolk filling, and five-kernel filling. There are a total of ten fillings. There will definitely be something you like.Eldest Miss, you’re really lucky. We didn’t have so many fillings when we ate mooncakes in the past.”
Lian Rong had never heard of egg yolk filling before.
Old Madam Yu quickly took a mooncake and ate it. It was soft and sweet. It tasted sweet but not greasy, and it was very delicious. “Yao Yao makes better food than anyone else.”
Nanny Liu quickly agreed. “Of course. Eldest Miss’s filial piety to you is not something others can compare to. What she made with her heart naturally tastes good. I’ve heard that it’s also because Old Madam’s appetite hasn’t been good these past few days that Eldest Miss wanted to make mooncakes to make you happy.”
Old Madam Yu beamed when she heard this. She ate another piece of salty dried fruit mooncake and a bowl of porridge.
Nanny Liu was overjoyed.
At this moment, Qing Xiu led a servant into the house. “Old Madam, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence has sent someone over.”
Old Madam Yu looked at the servant.
The servant hurriedly knelt on the ground. “Greetings, Old Madam. The First Madam of the family asked me to come and report that my Heir has woken up for a while just now and fallen asleep again. Imperial Physician Shi said that he’s fine now, but his vitality has been injured this time. He will have to recuperate carefully and he asked you to relax.”
After receiving the news that Song Mingzhao had been saved, Old Madam Yu’s mood immediately brightened. “I knew it. Mingzhao is blessed. He’s still young. It’s fine if his health is a little damaged. He’ll be fine after recuperating for a while.”
The servant just listened.
After Old Madam Yu was overjoyed, she asked, “Is your matriarch feeling better?”
Joy and sorrow were the most harmful to the body. When she went to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence in the morning, she saw that she was exhausted and did not look too good.
The servant hurriedly said, “The matriarch’s mood fluctuated greatly. After knowing that the Heir was fine, she couldn’t take it anymore and fainted on the spot. Fortunately, Imperial Physician Shi’s medical skills are brilliant. He immediately applied acupuncture and prescribed medicine for the matriarch to stabilize her. He asked the family to take good care of her.”
Old Madam Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good. Everyone says that if you survive a great disaster, you’ll definitely have good fortune in the future. Your Old Madam’s blessing is yet to come.” With that, she turned around and instructed Nanny Liu, “Wrap ten Mental Suppression Pills that Yao Yao made and take them back for Old Madam Song.”
Previously, she had seen Yao Yao give Old Madam Song a mental suppression pill. Old Madam Song seemed to be in better spirits after eating it.
It seemed that this pill had some effect on her.
Nanny Liu quickly entered the house. Not long after, she came out with a small box and handed it to the servant.
Old Madam Yu instructed, “It’s a calming pill. Now that she’s at ease, she can recuperate in peace. Burn a pill for your matriarch every morning.”
The servant quickly took it and kowtowed to thank her. “I’ll thank Old Madam on behalf of Old Madam first.’
After sending the servant off, Old Madam Yu turned around and instructed Qing Xiu, “Go to the Jade Courtyard and tell Yao Yao about this, lest she thinks about this too.”
Since she was involved, she naturally had to tell her what was going on.
When Yu Youyao found out that Song Mingzhao had recovered, she only asked Old Madam Song how he was doing and did not say anything else.
The next day, Yin Huaixi, who was far away in Shandong, received a letter from his little cousin.
As soon as he opened the letter, Yin Huaixi smiled. The ink was attached to the paper. It was pure black, soft, and incomparably smooth. It was a little different from the previous ink she used, but she definitely used the red silk inkstone he had given him.
Yin Huaixi leaned against his wheelchair and read the letter page by page.
He saw that Yu Youyao had written in her letter that the heir of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, Song Mingzhao, had vomited blood for no reason and was in a coma for three days, and the Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife had gone to the Yu Residence to ask for a Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill. She had gone to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence with Old Madam Yu to treat Song Mingzhao.
Yin Huaixi suddenly thought of something!
On the day of the Buddhist Festival, the little girl was wearing a plain brocade dress and standing at the door of the room with Song Mingzhao. The breeze blew, and when the corners of their clothes touched, there was an indescribable affection.
Thinking about it now, it still felt extremely dazzling.
At this moment, he suddenly saw that name under the little girl’s brush and ink. It was as if the world that belonged to him and Yu Youyao had suddenly been invaded by another man.
He felt like he had invaded his territory.
Yin Huaixi pursed his lips and stared at the words “Heir Song” on the letter for a long time. Still, he felt that he couldn’t tolerate it. He took a small knife and scraped all the paragraphs about Song Mingzhao on the letter.
The paper was thicker, so he was especially careful when he was scraping. After the handwriting was scraped clean, although there were traces, the paper was not damaged.
Yin Huaixi looked at the two blank lines on the letter. Although he didn’t like them, they weren’t glaring anymore.
Hence, he continued reading the letter.
Fortunately, Yu Youyao did not mention Song Mingzhao again.
She only said how good the red silk inkstone was, how much she liked it, how beautiful the fruits from Shandong were, how pure and beautiful her lips were after using the lipstick…
At the end, she wrote, “During the Golden Autumn, chrysanthemums bloom. Although I can’t enjoy the full moon with you, I’m willing to share its beauty with you!”
Yin Huaixi suddenly felt melancholic. He placed the letter neatly page by page and placed it back into the envelope. Then, he picked up the package on the table.
When the package was opened, the mooncakes wrapped in oil paper made him stop breathing!
Yin Huaixi picked out a fortune patterned mooncake. It was made from his favorite Eight Treasures Cake, and it had a hint of bitter medicinal taste. When it melted in his mouth, for some reason, he felt exceptionally sweet. Unknowingly, this sweetness seeped into his heart.
The displeasure in Yin Huaixi’s heart because of “Song Mingzhao” immediately dissipated.
He put away the mooncake and opened the wooden box. His gaze couldn’t help but pause!
The box was filled with copied scriptures. Yin Huaixi took them out to take a look. It was the Lotus Sutra, a scripture to pray for merit points. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to copy this sutra.
With 6,000 merit points, the blessings would last for a long time, and the calamities would dissipate.
At this moment, Eunuch Zhu brought in a Four Seasons Safety Lamp. “Head General Yin, the Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days. Chang Ningbo personally lit up a Four Seasons Safety Lamp and asked me to send it to you for fun.’
The Four Seasons Safety Lamp was simple. On the red four-sided silk, the four seasons were painted with plums, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums. They reflected each other, and red tassels fell from the corner eaves.
This lamp was very exquisite, but…
