"No, I feel very well!"
In my past life, my fate had been changed, and I was so foolish and ignorant that I still ended up becoming the Empress.
In this life, I see everything clearly, holding power, people, and silver in my hands; I refuse to believe I can’t outwit those thieves.
"Sister, if you feel unwell, you must tell me!"
"Rest assured, I will definitely not hide it from you!"
"I believe in you, sister!"
The siblings exchanged a smile.
One didn’t want to worry her brother too much, while the other was concerned something might happen to his sister.
They each had their own thoughts, always putting the other first.
Even though it was nearly New Year’s, Yun Jinnian was still busy.
She wrote visitation cards to be sent to the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence, the Duan Residence, and the residence of the Commandery Princess of Zhenguo, planning to visit the Commandery Princess’s residence on the twenty-fourth, the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence on the twenty-twenty-fifth, and the Duan Residence on the twenty-sixth.
"Oh right, go inquire at the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence about the Second Lady’s childbirth, whether it’s a boy or a girl. We need to prepare the right gift for the occasion!"
As for the Duan Family, there were some medicinal herbs that they couldn’t get hold of, which just happened to be available within my sect, so I brought some back, hoping to cure everyone’s poison.
Regarding the mastermind behind the scenes, Yun Jinnian felt she couldn’t let her guard down.
This person must have a deep-seated hatred against the Duan Family, otherwise, they wouldn’t have employed such vicious poison.
But for the sake of Sister Ruan, I cannot stand by idly.
Hemei quickly went to make arrangements and soon returned to report, "It’s a boy!"
Yun Jinnian nodded, "Then prepare a Red Gold Longevity Lock, a pair of Red Gold Bracelets, and there’s that small box of gems I have, pack those, along with that box of ointment—the one that prevents eczema and mosquito bites!"
"Miss, it’s still a long way off from summer!"
Yun Jinnian was brought back to her senses and laughed, "That’s true, but babies wear a lot and are prone to eczema, so the ointment will be useful!"
"Then I will pack a box!"
Yun Jinnian shook her head, her eyes starting to moisten.
This feeling was just like returning home, wishing to bring everything good back for everyone to share.
"There’s no need to send gold and jewels to the Princess Residence, just take six stalks each of Thousand-Year Ginseng and Lingzhi over, as well as six bottles of Snow Lotus Pills; five pills per bottle will suffice!"
Although I have plenty in hand, these items are still highly valuable out in the open.
Giving too much might arouse suspicion.
An innocent man bears the blame for his wealth, I understand this principle well.
"Yes, I will prepare them right away!" Hemei said, and then remembered the Duan Family, "What should we send to the Duan Residence?"
"Just send those medicinal herbs I brought back!
Hemei nodded her head.
My young miss’s gifts are truly thoughtful, reaching straight to the recipients’ hearts.
The visitation cards were sent out promptly and soon returned. The Commandery Princess of Zhenguo’s residence sent over Nanny Song personally. Seeing Yun Jinnian, Nanny Song’s smile was full of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
"This old servant has seen the Commandery Princess; may the Commandery Princess be blessed with peace and safety!" Nanny Song said, hurriedly bowing.
Yun Jinnian quickly assisted Nanny Song, "Nanny Song, please get up!"
Nanny Song was an elder, and also a nanny from the Commandery Princess’s side; I couldn’t afford such respect.
"Commandery Princess, today is our first meeting, and you have accepted my courtesy. In future meetings, this old servant will no longer bow to the Commandery Princess!"
Yun Jinnian began to laugh, "Nanny is still so fond of jesting!"
Assisting Nanny Song to sit, Hemei quickly served tea, and Yun Jinnian handed it to Nanny Song, "Nanny Song, please have some tea!"
"This trip was definitely worthwhile!" Nanny Song took a sip of the tea and coughed lightly, "Ah, truly fragrant. I’ve lived so long and yet have never tasted such delicious tea!"
Serving beside the Commandery Princess of Zhenguo, she had seen and experienced a lot, tasting many delicacies, but this tea, she had truly never had before!
