By the time she had finished explaining roughly, Xiao Lian looked anxiously at Cheng Ling, "Miss, shall I still go and ask the Old Madam to invite a good doctor to take a look at you?"
It was now Cheng Lingyu who frowned slightly.
According to Xiao Lian’s description, this Old Madam was no simple character, her excuses might deceive this naive girl, but might not fool someone genuinely astute.
Considering the personality of the Fifth Miss Xiao Lian mentioned, she said, "There’s no need to trouble the Old Madam, I don’t have any issue with my body, it’s probably just some aftershocks, perhaps after some time I’ll be able to remember some things."
Having said that, she saw the maid across from her looking at her with a heartbroken expression, "Miss, you just don’t take good care of yourself."
She displayed a saint-like smile, remaining silent.
In a low voice, she said to Xiao Lian, "Don’t tell anyone about me not remembering the past, understand?"
Xiao Lian always felt that the Miss now was different from before; the former Miss would not speak so forcefully with her.
However, this way, the Miss seemed more like a master.
She nodded her head, "Miss, are you hungry? I will go to the kitchen and bring some food for you."
As she spoke, Cheng Lingyu indeed felt somewhat hungry, and Xiao Lian left.
Once Xiao Lian had left, Cheng Lingyu dropped her facial expression and began to contemplate her current situation with a cold face.
An unloved concubine-born daughter? On the Tianxuan Continent, such a status usually meant either following favored sisters in marriage or being used as a sacrificial pawn by the family.

Suddenly, she felt a surveilling gaze and, alarmed, quickly restored her slightly melancholic demeanor.
Ming Que quietly left the courtyard.
After hearing Ming Que’s report and combining it with the messages conveyed by the system when she arrived in this world, Gu Shengyin knew that no matter what she did, it would be in vain.
What was meant to come, would always come.
At that moment, a thought of assassination crossed her mind.
If she were to do something to Cheng Lingyu in her courtyard now, would Cheng Ling never stir up any disturbances again?
She had countless ways to silently kill Cheng Ling without anyone noticing.
Of course, with her status, even if someone found out, the Protectorate General’s Mansion would only try to cover it up.
Ming Que, feeling the murderous intent from his master, was somewhat puzzled. He didn’t know what the Fifth Miss had done to offend his master.
Gu Shengyin’s murderous intent was fleeting.
In the end, she couldn’t do it.
No matter how much she knew that eliminating Cheng Ling now could extinguish any future threats, she just couldn’t do it.
Having not committed any crimes in the original storyline, why should this world’s Cheng Ling bear the consequences?
The system, sensing her thoughts, pondered, "It seems that I have unknowingly fostered a host with incredibly righteous values."
Gu Shengyin waved her hand, signaling Ming Que to leave.
"System, from now on, surveil all of Cheng Lingyu’s actions. If she acts like she does in the original storyline..."
A cold light flashed in Gu Shengyin’s eyes, then no one could blame her for being ruthless.
