"What help? Tell me," Leng Ruoli said readily.
"It's just that when I was wandering around the street just now, I ran into my sister Miaoling. After more than ten years, I always thought she was burned to death in that fire back then. I didn't expect her to be alive."
As Chu Mingxuan said this, his eyes were red, and tears were still welling up in the corners of his eyes.
"Where is she now?" Leng Ruoli asked with great curiosity.
"She's a maid in the Prince Qing's mansion now," Chu Mingxuan said with a sad heart.
"She's in Prince Qing's mansion! If you want to redeem her, it will be a bit troublesome," Leng Ruoli said seriously, glancing at Jun Mohan.
"Do you know what her name is now?" Jun Mohan suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Chu Mingxuan carefully recalled the conversation he had with Chu Miaoling on the street.
"Oh, I remember now, her name is Aman," Chu Mingxuan said loudly.
Upon hearing the name Aman, Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan looked at each other. They were both incredulous. They didn't expect it to be her, Liu Ruyi's loyal servant.
"Chu Mingxuan, are you sure your sister Miaoling's name is Aman now?" Leng Ruoli confirmed again.
"Yes, she told me herself that her name is Aman," Chu Mingxuan nodded, certain he hadn't misheard.
"She's not a maid in Prince Qing's mansion," Leng Ruoli said astonishingly.
"You both know her? She's not Prince Qing's maid, so how can she be in Prince Qing's mansion?" Chu Mingxuan was full of confusion.
"Because she is a maid by Liu Ruyi's side," Leng Ruoli told Chu Mingxuan the truth decisively.
"What? She's actually Liu Ruyi's maid. Thinking back to what she said just now, it's no wonder she kept saying she needed to get medicine immediately to give to the second young lady to decoct. It turns out the second young lady she mentioned is Leng Ruoshuang. What can be done? My sister Miaoling is definitely being used by Liu Ruyi," Chu Mingxuan suddenly understood.
At this moment, even Leng Ruoli was troubled. This Aman was Liu Ruyi's most loyal maid. She was someone who had even risked her own life to protect Liu Ruyi multiple times. It wouldn't be easy to persuade her to leave Liu Ruyi.
"Chu Mingxuan, when you recognized her, did she still remember you?" Leng Ruoli asked after a moment of thought.
"Sister Miaoling, she no longer remembers me. I don't know what happened to her back then, but I can see from her eyes that she really doesn't recognize me," Chu Mingxuan sighed.
"Since Aman started staying by Liu Ruyi's side, she has been loyal to her. I don't know her specific identity. I heard from Butler Qi, the butler of General Leng's mansion, that Aman was originally a little beggar begging on the street. One day, Liu Ruyi saved her, and since then, Aman has been following Liu Ruyi as a maid. But only Liu Ruyi knows the specific details," Leng Ruoli said.
"I don't believe these stories because I don't believe Liu Ruyi would be so kind as to save a little beggar. There must be something fishy going on," Chu Mingxuan said in disbelief.
"Yes, I don't believe it either!" Leng Ruoli also agreed with Chu Mingxuan.
Then, the two fell into thought again.
Meanwhile.
After Aman bought the medicine and returned to Prince Qing's mansion, she greeted Liu Ruyi and then hurried to the kitchen to decoct the medicine for Leng Ruoshuang.
A few days ago, after Liu Ruyi caused a scene in Prince Qing's mansion, no one in Prince Qing's mansion dared to disrespect Liu Ruyi and her anymore.
Aman went to Prince Qing's mansion's main kitchen to decoct the medicine for Leng Ruoshuang. The cooks and servants quickly made way for her. Aman smoothly decocted the medicine for Leng Ruoshuang and took it to Leng Ruoshuang's room.
At that time, Leng Ruoshuang had suffered a serious illness during her confinement. Now her face was still as pale as snow, without a trace of blood.
Liu Ruyi took the medicinal soup handed over by Aman, slowly blew on it to cool it, and fed Leng Ruoshuang a small spoonful at a time, which made Leng Ruoshuang shake her head.
"Mother, this medicinal soup is so bitter. I don't want to drink it. I want to eat candied dates," Leng Ruoshuang said with a frown and acted spoiled.
"Shuang'er, be good. You just gave birth and are deficient in qi and blood. You've also been very ill. You must finish this bowl of medicinal soup. This soup was prescribed by the doctor for you, mainly to regulate your body," Liu Ruyi coaxed patiently.
"Mother, I won't drink it! It's really too bitter, I can't drink it. Please have Aman get me some candied dates to eat," Leng Ruoshuang was still acting coy.
"Shuang'er, don't be so spoiled. If you don't take care of your body now, you won't be able to have children for Prince Qing anymore. If you lose your fertility, don't even think about establishing yourself in Prince Qing's mansion in the future," Liu Ruyi said sternly, no longer willing to indulge her.
At this time, her daughter still couldn't distinguish between what was important and what wasn't. Did she really have to wait until Prince Qing completely abandoned her to realize her mistake.
"Mother, but this bowl of medicinal soup is really too bitter. Shuang'er really can't drink it,呜呜呜..." Leng Ruoshuang said, tears welling up in her eyes, and then she started crying.
She looked quite pitiful, which immediately softened Liu Ruyi.
"Aman, go get the second young lady some candied dates," Liu Ruyi instructed.
"Yes, mistress!"
After Aman responded, she immediately turned around to get candied dates for Leng Ruoshuang.
A moment later, she brought a small plate of candied dates and placed it in front of Leng Ruoshuang. Only then did Leng Ruoshuang take a sip of the medicinal soup and eat two candied dates, quickly finishing the bowl of medicinal soup that had been brought over.
Aman watched Liu Ruyi take care of Leng Ruoshuang drinking the medicine, which made her feel very familiar. In her hazy memory, she seemed to have had a woman serve her medicine like this before, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't recall that woman's appearance, and her head would hurt terribly.
Who was that man she met on the street today, and why did he call her sister Miaoling?
So was she her own older sister?
How did her mistress save her from the fire back then?
Why couldn't she remember anything?
Liu Ruyi, who was beside her, noticed Aman's abnormality and immediately asked, "Aman, why did your complexion suddenly turn so bad? Is your head hurting again?"
"Mistress, your maid is fine. It will be better in a while!" Aman replied perfunctorily.
But her head was hurting more and more.
"Aman, there's nothing else for the second young lady here. You go down and rest for a while," Liu Ruyi said with feigned concern.
"Alright, mistress. I'll go out and wait by the door. If you need anything, just call your maid at the door," Aman said, enduring the pain, bowed to Liu Ruyi and her daughter, and turned to leave.
She gritted her teeth and persevered, reaching the small pavilion in Leng Ruoshuang's courtyard, where she fainted on the spot.
