After breakfast, Zhang Ruonan asked Su Yan if his injuries still hurt.

Su Yan immediately acted aggrieved: "It hurts."

Zhang Ruonan asked worriedly, "Why is it still painful? Didn't I ask someone to give you some golden wound medicine? Didn't you use it?"

Su Yan acted as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhang Ruonan said anxiously, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating? Are you hiding something from me?"

From her tone, Su Yan didn't seem to care about her. Instead, it sounded more like she was looking for an accusation, as if someone had deceived her.

Su Yan sighed and pretended not to care, "I don't think the young lady did it on purpose. The golden wound medicine doesn't have much effect on my injury. But it doesn't matter. I have a good foundation and can handle it. I'm much better now."

Zhang Ruonan: “…”

Zhang Ruonan: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm sorry, I didn't know, I thought..."

Su Yan: "It's okay, I don't blame the young lady, she did it for my own good. Even if she got the wrong medicine and delayed my treatment, the young lady had good intentions, I understand."

Zhang Ruonan: “…”

Later, Zhang Ruonan specially asked someone to find a doctor to prescribe blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine for her, and asked her to rest for another five days.

Cuihong's face turned green with anger. It was obvious that Su Yan had almost recovered before, but the way he was cursing at people showed that he was a sick person.

Why should she rest for another five days? She is clearly being cunning.

"Miss, she's totally fine!"

"Cough cough cough... It's nothing to me... The cough is just from catching a cold last night. It has nothing to do with the beating... cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

"Miss, she is clearly pretending."

"Ahem... I'm fine..."

"Okay, I said let Su Yan rest, so let her rest. Are you the lady or am I the lady?" Zhang Ruonan was annoyed by the two of them and got angry directly at Cuihong.

Cuihong closed her mouth unwillingly.

Su Yan limped away under Cuihong's unwilling gaze.

In the afternoon, Su Yan was basking in the sun in the yard when he heard two maids next door discussing the news that several people in the Zhang family's kitchen had been fired.

"How dare they neglect the young lady, without even considering that she is the only jewel in the palm of our master's hand."

"That's right. They even dared to send leftovers to the young lady. I don't know who gave them the courage."

A total of five people were driven out of the kitchen, from the chef to the maid who did odd jobs and made fire.

Zhang Ruonan really couldn't stand any injustice. Just for that little thing that happened this morning, she took care of the person before it even started evening.

It can be seen that she is a decisive woman, but also a vengeful woman.

Su Yan sat on the recliner and continued to rock it as if it had nothing to do with him.

As a result, a dark shadow was cast down and almost scared her.

"Dad, why did you suddenly appear above me?"

"I came to see you. I was too busy to come and see you recently. I heard that you asked Miss for another five days' leave?"

Su Yan complained: "I didn't ask her for leave. It was clearly the young lady who sympathized with me and took the initiative to let me recuperate."

Father Su asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you? You were just beaten with ten boards. Do you need to rest for ten days?"

Su Yan: "I was the one who got beaten, not my father, so of course it's easy for you to say that."

Father Su: "How dare you talk back? The young lady is so kind to us, why don't you go back and serve her earlier? You just want to be lazy all day long. Why did I give birth to a lazy thing like you?"

Su Yan: "But, Miss insisted that I rest, what can I do?"

Father Su: "Just say you are fine and go back to serve the young lady. Don't forget your identity just because the young lady says she treats you as a sister. We are servants of the Zhang family and we must do our duty. Although the young lady is naive and romantic and treats you as a sister, you should not be so ignorant as to think that you can really be on an equal footing with the young lady."

"But the lady said that I should rest for another five days."

"Why don't you listen to me? Miss, I sympathize with you, but you have to know your limits and not push your luck, okay?"

"Miss, once you say something, it's no use. I took a break just because I listened to her. Besides, I'm really sick. Cough cough cough... I really... don't have... any strength... cough cough cough cough cough..."

"Are you really sick?" Father Su looked at Su Yan hesitantly. His daughter, who had always been honest and well-behaved, would not lie to him.

Su Yan didn't answer him, but just kept coughing as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

"Since you are really ill, you should rest for a few more days to avoid passing the illness on to the young lady."

Su Yan: "..."

Being a servant like this, no wonder he can be the steward. He is clearly a loyal dog of the Zhang family, and he even wants to tame his daughter into an obedient dog.

The original owner was his daughter, how sad.

No one felt sorry for her when she was sick, and they just asked her to serve the young lady.

If you don’t know, you might think that the young lady only has her maid, and she doesn’t need anyone else.

The same thing happened to the original owner's mother. She hadn't come to see her for five days. She just stayed with the lady and didn't even care when her own daughter was sick. She put all her motherly love on other people's children.

Su Yan was very doubtful whether she was the couple's biological daughter.

Don't let the ancient version of the nanny replace the master's child, allowing her own daughter to enjoy wealth and glory, while letting the master's daughter live a miserable life.

Su Yan: "999, come out and tell me, am I the biological daughter of this couple?"

999: "Since you already know it, I won't hide it anymore."

Su Yan: "I am the daughter of the Zhang family?"

999: "No, you are just a wild child that this couple picked up from the roadside"

Su Yan: "Then who are my biological parents?"

999: "As a cannon fodder, I can't find this part of your hidden plot."

Su Yan: "What use is there for you!"

Su Yan was recuperating in the yard, but he got sicker and sicker.

The maids passing by could hear her coughing at any time, and it sounded like she was about to cough out her lungs.

Some people were worried that she might have tuberculosis, which is contagious.

No one dared to go near the yard where she lived, for fear of being infected with lung disease.

The cough was of course not caused by Su Yan himself. He had a recorder that did not need to be charged and played it in a loop, so he could cough for eighteen hours out of twenty-four hours a day.

Many maids were talking behind Su Yan's back, saying that Su Yan might not live long as he coughed so badly and ate so little every day.

Su Yan simply didn't like those dogs and slaves. The leftovers they sent him were disgusting, so he didn't eat any.

This makes people believe even more that her illness is real.

Zhang Ruonan asked Su Yan to go back and recuperate, but she didn't expect that he became weaker the more he recuperated.

I quickly asked a doctor to come and check on Su Yan to see what was going on and to make sure he didn't really have tuberculosis.

She was worried about what would happen if Su Yan got tuberculosis and infected her. In ancient times where there was a shortage of medical care and medicine, tuberculosis was enough to kill people.

She didn't want her beautiful ancient life to end so unfairly just when it had just begun.
