Chapter 2
The sky was completely dark, and a huge black curtain enveloped the entire sky. The moon hid in the clouds and could not reveal the slightest light. The earth without the moonlight was dark.

There are only a few faint lanterns illuminating the entire Water Courtyard, adding a sense of eerieness for no reason.

"What happened to sister? But she was rescued?" Aunt Lin opened the cotton curtain and walked into the room with an anxious expression on her face.At a glance, he saw Ning Erlan sitting on a chair drinking tea.

"Miss San, how is Madam now? I heard that you stabilized Madam's illness. Is it true?" Aunt Lin asked Ning Erlan with a raised voice on purpose.As usual, when the third lady saw her, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, she was so scared that she just wanted to hide.She did this just to prove that what the maid just said was a lie, that Ning Erlan saved Wen's life, she would not believe it even if she was killed.

Ning Erlan put down the cup in her hand, and slowly raised her head to look at Aunt Lin, there was no trace of fear or fear in her clear and watery eyes.But quiet and serene. "Aunt Lin is becoming more and more unruly. The mistress is sick in bed, but you are making loud noises in her room where she is recuperating. What is your intention?"

Her voice was so soft that she couldn't tell what emotion she was in, but it still made Aunt Lin and Nanny Li secretly startled and annoyed at the same time.She covered half of the sky with one hand in the mansion, when will it be the turn of this little bastard who can't get on the stage to criticize her!
"Third Miss misunderstood, Auntie, I am just worried about Madam. Just now, a little girl said that you were the one who stabilized Madam's illness. I just asked out of curiosity. After all these years, I am afraid that even the master does not know that Miss San is good at medicine. " Aunt Lin's voice was soft, with a smile on her face, but Ning Erlan could hear the gnashing of teeth.

"Aunt Lin is too busy taking care of the middle school affairs in the house now, so how could she notice whether Er Lan knows medical skills? Moreover, Er Lan learned these medical skills by herself. She just wanted to give her father and grandmother a surprise when the time came, but it didn't work out. I think it will come in handy today. Aunt Lin would never have thought of it."

"Yeah, it's really unexpected for my aunt!" The candle flames danced in Aunt Lin's eyes, like two blazing fires, her chest heaved violently, and her hands under the cuffs were already clenched tightly. If possible, she really Wanting to step forward and tear Ning Erlan's face apart.It seems that Bitch Wen's life is really saved!

"My mother's body is weak, and she will need a lot of supplements in the future, as well as the quilt on the bed. This young lady looks old, so it's time to replace it. If the mistress of the whole family is too shabby, I'm afraid it can't be justified. "The furnishings in Wen's room are very old. The quilt covered has been washed until it turns white, which proves that it is not young. The paint on the wardrobe, tables and chairs has peeled off, and even the porcelain cups are of the most ordinary color.

If it wasn't for Aunt Lin's deliberate deduction, how could Wen's treatment be worse than that of a decent maid?
"Miss San said that the old slave was negligent and did not report to Auntie in time, which caused Madam to be wronged. The old slave willingly fined himself a month's salary as punishment." Before Aunt Lin could speak, Madam Li took the lead Pleading guilty, even if Ning Erlan still wants to criticize, at most it is saying that a slave is not good at doing things.

Ning Erlan knew that some things should not be rushed, so she gave up.

"Just remember, some things can be taken slowly, but some things must be kept firmly in the heart. Auntie, do you think I'm right?" Ning Erlan deliberately repronounced the word "aunt" to make Aunt Lin You know, no matter how bad the Wen family is, she is also the official wife of the Ning Mansion, and no one can get around it.

"Miss San is right!" Aunt Lin's eyes were already red with anger, and she wondered when this cheap girl Ning Erlan became so bold, so eloquent, and dared to contradict her repeatedly.

That bitch must have taught it!Thinking about it, her eyes fell on Wen Shi who was sleeping peacefully on the bed with vicious eyes.I thought today was her deadline, but I didn't expect that she didn't die!It also made the originally cowardly little bitch become powerful!
Hmph, no matter how powerful she is, she can't escape her Five Fingers Mountain.

"It's not too early, Aunt Lin has been exhausted all day, so let's go back and rest soon."

Aunt Lin was obviously so angry that she didn't even bother to leave a word and flung her sleeves away.

Ning Erlan sat down on the chair, her body felt weak for a while, probably because her body was too weak, she couldn't stand it anymore.

In order to prevent any accidents in the middle of the night, Ning Erlan rested on the couch in Wen's house at night.

It may be that her body was too tired, and she fell asleep not long after.

The whole night was fairly calm, except for the occasional sweating, Wen's condition showed no signs of deterioration.

The golden light breaks through the clouds, shines through the yellowed window paper into the quiet inner room, and the dust dances in the sunlight. This is a day full of life.

Ning Erlan blinked her eyelids, then slowly opened her eyes, reaching out to touch the sunlight in the room.The temperature of the tentacles is slightly burning, which is not the temperature that the morning light should have.

He sat up quickly from the couch, straightened his wrinkled dress, walked to Wen's bed, checked her body, and walked out of the house.

Double Happiness walked towards them with a water basin in their hands. "Miss San, wake up, and this servant will help you to dress up."

"It's not urgent, Shuangxi, first tell me what time is it? Have you seen Miss Fifth?"

"It's past noon now, Miss Fifth should be in her own yard. Miss Third is looking for Miss Fifth?"

Ning Erlan had been thinking about when her predecessor's younger sister Ning Caixin fell into the water last night. In her predecessor's memory, she only found out that Ning Caixin drowned to death at night, and the exact time of drowning was not clear.

Regardless, it's safest to bring Ning Caixin to her side.

"Well, go and bring Fifth Miss here." Wen's critical illness and Ning Caixin didn't show up last night, which is very abnormal, and there must be something she doesn't know.

"Yes."

After hastily washing up and eating lunch, Ning Erlan went back to Wen's bed.

Yesterday, her pulse diagnosis could only detect Wen's heart failure, but she couldn't find any more specific symptoms.

There was no way, Ning Erlan pricked Wen's finger with a silver needle, she had to test whether her blood contained any poisonous ingredients.

"Miss San, this servant has something to report." Shuangxi came in from outside the courtyard and said in a low voice when she saw Ning Erlan who was deep in thought.

Ning Erlan raised her head, seeing that there was no one else around, and seeing Shuangxi's anxious expression, her heart couldn't help but shudder.

"What's wrong? Where's Miss Fifth?"

"Miss San, I can't find Miss Fifth everywhere. I am afraid that you will wait for a long time, so I will report back first." It is normal for Shuangxi to be anxious if she can't find anyone. According to the usual time, Ning Caixin should take a lunch break in her yard. But today there is no one there.

"Well, I'll look for it first. If I haven't come back after half an hour, you can take someone to the lotus pond in the back garden." Ning Caixin's younger sister was drowned in Ning Mansion, and Ning Mansion There is only a relatively large lotus pond in the back garden.

There was doubt in Shuangxi's eyes, but she didn't ask any further questions. She nodded and looked at Ning Erlan's back until she disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Ning Erlan changed into a lotus-colored double-breasted gown and a pleated lotus skirt today, and her waist-length hair was tied behind her waist with a ribbon.The delicate figure is like a fluttering butterfly as it walks through the garden, full of aura.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and after another corridor, she reached the lotus pond.

"Ah..." Just as she took a breath and was about to continue walking, an exclamation came from not far away.

Ning Erlan was startled, that voice came from the side of the lotus pond!

Because the lotus pond is located in the relatively secluded back garden of Ning Mansion, few servant girls come to this place, so it is difficult for the people in the front yard to know how much movement there is.

Passing through the arch, a lotus pond appeared in front of her eyes, because there were no lotus in the pond because it was not the height of summer, only a few yellowed and decayed lotus leaves floating on the water.

There were five people standing on the small bridge not far away, all of them looked down at the water.

Ning Erlan breathed a sigh of relief and ran up.The first thing I saw was a child who was about four or five years old in bright yellow fine silk and a long gown with patterns of copper coins.He is the second young master of the Ning family where Aunt Lin lives, and Ning Shaoliang who is the sixth in the Ning family.

Following him were two servants and two maidservants, all four of them had gloating expressions on their faces, they didn't panic when they saw Ning Erlan running over, they didn't take her seriously at all.

Ning Erliang looked into the water, and sure enough he saw someone struggling in the water.

"Ning Shaoliang, what are you doing? Why don't you slaves go down to save people!" Ning Erlan scolded sharply, before she finished speaking, she jumped into the water.

Just now she trotted over and broke out in a sweat, and before the sweat was exhausted, she went into the water to make the pores of her whole body shrink rapidly. Normally, she didn't think she would do this, because it would easily cause her to cramp underwater.

But how could she let the tragedy happen when she knew the result?

Before Ning Erlan came, Ning Caixin choked several times.Right now, he is just struggling with his whole body consciousness.

Ning Erlan swam behind her, stretched out her right hand to wrap around her neck, brought her out of the water, and lifted her chin out of the water to let her breathe fresh air.

Ning Shaoliang on the small bridge was a little frightened after pushing Ning Caixin into the water, he stared blankly at Ning Erlan rescued Ning Caixin with his eyes open, he was stunned, Neither speak.

"Second young master, it's getting late at this time, why don't you go back? Otherwise, Aunt Lin won't be able to find you, I'm afraid she'll be in a hurry." A maid wearing a navy blue skirt and a light blue gauze behind her glanced at Ning Er In the direction of Lan, he said after a quick flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.She is the maid sent by Aunt Lin to Ning Shaoliang's side. In the past, Ning Shaoliang went back to report to Aunt Lin about Ning Shaoliang's daily life.

Ning Erlan struggled to drag Ning Caixin to the shore, first hung her upside down on her shoulders, and asked her to spit out the water in her stomach first.Then lay her flat on the cobblestones and give first aid.

The child obviously drank a lot of water, his entire face was pale and frighteningly white.

"Caixin, you must wake up, wake up..."

"Cough cough cough..." It was not until a quarter of an hour later that Ning Caixin coughed and spit out all the water in her stomach.Yoyo opened his eyes.

"elder sister……"

"Huh... Caixin, you finally woke up, you really scared my sister to death." Ning Erlan showed a gratified smile on her pale face.

She finally saved the lives of her mother and sister.
