465 Father and Daughter (2)
Shen Yijia called for them to eat. She looked around and realized that someone was missing. She asked curiously, “Eh, Mo Yuan hasn’t woken up yet?”
Mo Yuan usually prepared breakfast with Madam Li.
“Sister Mo Yuan seems to be sick.” Sister Huan gave Lin Shao and the others a demonstration. After peeling it open, she stuffed the white lychee meat into Lin Miaomiao’s mouth and continued, “I went to look for her just now and saw her lying on the bed with a pale face. I asked her if she wanted to hire a doctor, but she said that she’s a doctor herself. She’ll be fine after taking medicine and sleeping.”
She sounded helpless.
Lin Miaomiao was caught off guard and stuffed with a lychee. Her face was puffed up as she blinked her watery eyes at everyone innocently.
So cute!
Shen Yijia thought she was extremely adorable. She reached out and rubbed her head. She nodded. “Then I’ll send her something to eat later.”
After breakfast, the few of them shared the two plates of fruits and left a few for Mo Yuan.
Shen Yijia scooped up a bowl of porridge and placed some pickled vegetables on a small plate.
“Sister Jia, is this yours?” Madam Li handed her a booklet as thick as a book. She had found it in Shen Yijia’s pocket when she packed the clothes she had changed out of this morning.
There were no words on the book. Due to her respect for Shen Yijia, she had never opened it.
Shen Yijia was stunned for a moment. She was about to say that it wasn’t hers when she thought of something. She slapped her forehead and took it. “I picked it up on the way when I went to look for Pinellia yesterday.”
After she finished packing up the troublemakers, the unlucky child who had been bullied had already disappeared. There was only one book on the ground, so she picked it up.
Actually, she had never opened it before.
Thinking that the unlucky child was also from Autumn Deer Academy, she opened the booklet to see if there was a name inside.
“Huh?” After reading the first page, Shen Yijia exclaimed in surprise. Why did this look like a book? She thought that the student had taken notes.
Brother Hao and the others also came over to take a look.
“I think I’ve seen this handwriting somewhere before.” Brother Hao rubbed his chin.
Shen Yijia blinked and handed the booklet to Brother Hao. “Take a good look.”
Seeing Shen Yijia’s expression, Brother Hao became nervous.
His mind went blank.
Shen Yijia was speechless.
Bruiser and Lin Shao drove the carriage to the academy. Shen Yijia brought the porridge to the back room. The seeds scattered in the ground had already sprouted, and it looked gratifying.
Apart from that, Mo Yuan opened another small plot of land to plant the herbs she had dug up from the mountains. She added a few shelves to the corner of the courtyard, which were also filled with herbs.
Every time she thought of Mo Yuan, she would turn around and see her by his side. She did not know when Mo Yuan had the time to get them.
Shen Yijia reached out to knock on the door. The door was only ajar and not bolted.
She pushed open the door and entered. Mo Yuan’s room was so simple that it didn’t look like a girl’s room. Apart from a bed, there was only a table. There was no dressing table or mirror.
Shen Yijia felt that this did not look like a home, but a temporary residence.
She did not know that Mo Yuan had developed a habit of moving around with her young lady since she was young.
To Mo Yuan, her home was not a residence, but where the people she followed were.
Shen Yijia sniffed and smelled a faint smell of blood. Her heart tightened.
Hearing the commotion, Mo Yuan, who was lying on the bed with her back facing the door, turned around. When she saw that it was Shen Yijia, she was stunned. “Miss, why are you here?”
Shen Yijia placed the tray on the table. “I’m bringing you breakfast. Are you injured?”
“Thank you, Miss.” Mo Yuan’s face was very pale. She was as expressionless as ever and shook her head. “No.”
Shen Yijia did not believe it. She took a few steps to the bed and wanted to lift her blanket. It was so hot, yet she still covered herself with a blanket. Wasn’t she afraid of the heat?
“Miss.” Mo Yuan was shocked and explained, “I’m just on my period.”
Shen Yijia paused, pursed her lips, and retracted her hand. “Get up and eat some porridge first. I’ll cook brown sugar water for you.”
Mo Yuan wanted to say no, but Shen Yijia had already gone out.
She lowered her eyes and guilt flashed across her face.
Madam Li was still cleaning up in the kitchen. When she saw Shen Yijia enter, she asked, “Is Mo Yuan alright?”
Although Mo Yuan did not speak much, she was meticulous. Madam Li still liked her.
“She’s having her period. I’ll boil some brown sugar water for her.” Shen Yijia found a piece of ginger in the vegetable basket, picked up a knife, and chopped it on the vegetable board.
Madam Li’s eyelids twitched. She walked over to stop her. “Let me do it instead.”
“There’s no need. It’s just a bowl of brown sugar water. Mother, go and rest.” Shen Yijia avoided Madam Li’s hand that was about to snatch the knife.
Madam Li knew that a bowl of brown sugar water was easy to boil, but her heart ached for Mo Yuan.
A bowl of dark brown sugar water was soon out of the pot. The entire kitchen smelled of burning and pungent spiciness.
Madam Li swallowed and her heart ached even more for Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan did not say anything. She looked up at the bowl of brown sugar water that was as black as medicine and drank it.
If not for the crack on her usually expressionless face, one would have thought that she had just drunk an ordinary bowl of brown sugar water.
“Miss, if you’re going out, remember to call me.”
When Shen Yijia walked out of Mo Yuan’s room, she heard her reminder.
Shen Yijia felt a little upset. This person did not cherish herself. What kind of young lady was she? When Mo Yuan found the real young lady, she would regret it.
She returned to the front courtyard. Bruiser and Lin Shao had just returned from outside. Their faces were filled with excitement.
“Sister, Sister.” Seeing Shen Yijia, Bruiser ran over. “Sister, do you know what we heard outside just now?”
Shen Yijia blinked and asked humbly, “What did you hear?”
