Yun Jinnian remained silent, reaching out to hold Dai Hanmi’s hand, "It’s good that Sister Mi doesn’t blame me!"
"How could I blame you, I can’t thank you enough!"
Yun Jinnian smiled without saying a word.
Dai Hanmi continued, "Why does this residence smell so strongly of herbs? Is it because both your grandfather and you practice medical skills?"
"It’s because we have planted medicinal herbs!"
After casually showing Dai Hanmi around the residence, they proceeded to Chaoyang Academy.
"Your courtyard is really big. What are all these potted plants?"
"Stone Lotus, when they bloom, I’ll send a few pots to Sister Mi!"
Dai Hanmi chuckled, "That would be lovely, I would be delighted to have them!"
Once inside the house, the conversation turned back to the grandmother’s illness, "I will come over tomorrow to have a look. Sister Mi, rest assured, our grandmother’s illness will certainly get better!"
"It’s ’Grandmother’, not ’Old Grandmother’. After all, we are a couple, and Grandmother said we must love each other for a lifetime!"
As Dai Hanmi spoke, she laughed, and Yun Jinnian also smiled softly and gently.
"By the way, Sister Mi, how did Grandmother fall ill?" Yun Jinnian asked.
Dai Hanmi frowned deeply and took a deep breath, "I’m not quite sure myself. I only know that on that night, my father hurriedly came back and went to see Grandmother, and then summoned the Imperial Physician. As for how Grandmother really fell sick, I am unclear!"
Yun Jinnian believed what Dai Hanmi said.
"I have some prescriptions for medicinal meals here that are suitable for Grandmother. Take them back, have the kitchen prepare them, and let Grandmother eat one meal a day—it’s not good to eat too much!"
"Jinnian, you are so thoughtful!" Dai Hanmi was deeply moved.
Such a fine girl, and yet the Yun Family treated her harshly—they must be blind!
"We are a couple after all, Mi Sister’s grandmother is naturally also my grandmother. It is only right to be devoted to Grandmother!"
For lunch, Mrs. Han prepared a total of twenty dishes, and being able to have such fresh, vibrant vegetables in early spring was quite rare.
During the meal, Dai Hanmi noticed that the most well-behaved person in the Han Family was Yun Jinnian; she did not speak at all while eating.
She only smiled occasionally or served her extra dishes.
Han Xuzi too smiled affectionately, encouraging her to eat more, while Mrs. Han kept adding food to the plates of Yun Jinnian and Han Xuzi, but ate very little herself.
"Eat more!" Mrs. Han smiled warmly.
But Dai Hanmi knew that someone like Mrs. Han, who dared to stay at the Han Family over the New Year without returning to the Yun Family, was definitely not a mild-mannered person.
After dining and enjoying herself at the Han Family, Dai Hanmi got up to take her leave.
She took back even more things than she had brought with her.
She was also given a few baskets of green vegetables, "They are all grown on our farms. Take them back and try them for some freshness!"
Upon returning to the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence, the Marchioness hurriedly called Dai Hanmi to inquire, "How was it?"
"They were very warm towards me and seemed kind-hearted, but..." Dai Hanmi paused for a moment.
She and Yun Jinnian were sworn sisters, and it didn’t feel right to speak ill of Yun Jinnian’s mother.
The Marchioness smiled, very satisfied with Dai Hanmi’s evasiveness, "Did Jinnian say when she would come over?"
"She will come over tomorrow. She gave me some medicinal meal prescriptions that are suitable for Grandmother to eat. From now on, one meal a day for Grandmother, and no more than that!"
"The child is really considerate!" the Marchioness praised.
"It’s more than considerate. The gifts she gave me are a bottle of Detoxification Pills, a bottle of Beautifying Pills, a box of rouge from Jiangnan, and a hairpin from Jiangnan. There are ten entire Detoxification Pills in a full bottle, and if sold, each pill could be worth a small fortune. Mother, how about I give two pills each to my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and father, and keep two for myself?"
