Dr. Mo first smelled the medicine, then poured out the dregs and examined them carefully before standing up after a long time.
"How is it?" Ye Pianran asked anxiously, her gaze sweeping coolly across Ye Yanxun's face. Ye Yanxun's expression was also quite concerned, showing no sign of guilt.
"It's a fairly effective treatment, and you can continue taking it," said Dr. Mo. "However, the young lady will need to rest more in the future. Don't let her get angry easily, and don't let her overwork herself. If she takes good care of herself, she will get better."
Although Ye Pianran had some doubts, she was also relieved. She was worried about the Marquis's doctor, which was why she asked Doctor Mo to take a look at her mother. At least Doctor Mo wouldn't be bribed by anyone and was the person she trusted most right now.
"I will follow the doctor's instructions." Ye Yanxun bowed and replied, then said to Chunxiao, "Go and brew another pot of medicine."
Chunxiao accepted the order and went to brew the medicine.
Ye Pianran held Gongsun Yuan's hand tightly, choking back tears as she said, "Mother, Ran'er will never let you worry about me again."
After hearing this, Ye Yanxun smiled and said, "If you find a good family to marry into as soon as possible, your mother will have less to worry about."
After entering the room, Granny Tan noticed Ye Yanxun and had been observing him discreetly. Upon hearing this, she said meaningfully, "This must be Young Master Xun, right? He is indeed a handsome young man, well-educated and sensible, with an extraordinary bearing. He is truly a fine child raised by the young lady."
"You're too modest, Granny." Ye Yanxun's heart sank slightly. This was a reminder to him to remember his place and the kindness of those who had raised him.
Suddenly, another maid came to announce: "Madam, the Marquis and the Old Madam have arrived."
Marquis Anshi helped the old lady of the Marquis's mansion, Madam Song, who was dressed in fine clothes, into the room. Everyone hurriedly bowed, and Gongsun Yuan was about to get up when Madam Song quickly said, "Lanzhi, you are not well. From now on, you don't need to bow to me when you see me."
Gongsun Yuan lowered her head and obediently replied "Yes," then leaned there indifferently, not even glancing at Marquis Anshi.
After sitting down, Madam Song first inquired about Gongsun Yuan's condition, then showed concern for Ye Pianran's facial injury. After Ye Yanxun briefly recounted the events, she gently stroked Ye Pianran's hand and said:
"Ran'er, Bi Jun is younger than you and lives alone in our Marquis's mansion. She kept a pet for companionship because she was lonely, and she didn't mean to let the cat out. Since she has already been punished by being confined to her quarters, let's just let this matter go. We are all sisters of the same lineage, so let's not hurt our harmony."
Her words were all in defense of Ye Bijun, so what could Ye Pianran say but agree? It was too ironic. If it weren't for the presence of the nanny and doctor from the Prime Minister's residence, who were afraid of being reprimanded by the Prime Minister's family, the old lady probably wouldn't have set foot in Lanxin Courtyard today.
But Granny Tan was not so easy to talk to. She said, "Before we came here, our lady said that if the Marquis's mansion is really in such short supply of doctors, we will take the eldest daughter, Miss Sun, and Young Master Kang back to the Prime Minister's mansion today to recuperate for a period of time. They can come back whenever they are better. After all, the Prime Minister's mansion has no shortage of doctors."
Marquis Anshi was somewhat embarrassed and quickly said, "Lanzhi is not in good health, and it is not good for her to travel back and forth. I will go to the clinic tomorrow to invite another doctor. Please ask the nanny to tell the Prime Minister and his wife not to worry."
"Yes, since she needs to rest, it's best not to cause any trouble and just stay at the Marquis's residence to recuperate," said Old Madam Song.
Lanxin Courtyard hadn't seen so many people in a long time. Gongsun Yuan couldn't stand the noise and looked exhausted after a while. When Anshi Hou saw this, he quickly went over to check on her, taking her hand temperature and putting a coat on her, showing her exceptional attentiveness.
Finally sensing some sincerity from the Marquis's residence, Granny Tan stopped making things difficult. After Doctor Mo prescribed several medicinal diet recipes to help her recover, she set off back to the Prime Minister's residence.
As soon as they left, Old Madam Song couldn't stay still for long. After instructing the servants to take good care of the First Madam's food and daily life, she left. Marquis Anshi then summoned Ye Yanxun under the pretext of having something to discuss, and in the end, only Ye Pianran remained.
Lanxin Courtyard returned to peace. Gongsun Yuan, exhausted, took her medicine and fell asleep holding Ye Yankang. Looking at her mother and younger brother's peaceful sleeping faces, a certain thought in Ye Pianran's heart intensified.
The Marquis's mansion was no longer the mansion she had imagined. No one here could be trusted, and no one was worthy of trust. She had been too foolish before to notice the undercurrents flowing around her, but not anymore. She would protect her family and never let them suffer any more harm!
