Chapter 570 Recovering from Injuries
Chapter 570 Recovering from Injuries
"Okay." She had no objections. Although she was now considered a servant of the Tian family, because of her pregnancy, she didn't need to do many things, which was already quite good.
After Mo left, Du Mingxian quietly stayed in the room. This was something she was best at; she could sit down, which was better than standing all the time.
It was almost noon when Nan'er arrived, but Tian Rong was still asleep.
"Miss hasn't woken up yet?"
"No, when I came here this morning, Young Master Mo was here. After he left, I stayed here and didn't leave. I didn't see Miss wake up either."
Nan'er looked distressed. "Miss had a fever last night. Let's see if she can wake up this afternoon."
So the two of them guarded together. With Nan'er around, Du Mingxian was not so comfortable. Moreover, she had tried to get closer to Nan'er before, but she had easily thwarted her attempts.
It was clear that Nan'er didn't want to get too close to her, so Du Mingxian also didn't want to get too close to Nan'er.
After lunch, around 2 p.m., Tian Rong finally woke up.
Nan'er and Du Mingxian both stepped forward and called out together, "Miss."
Tian Rong looked haggard. "Get me some water."
Nan'er quickly turned around to get water and soon brought it to Tian Rong's lips. Du Mingxian then went out to tell the second-class maid guarding outside to bring over some food.
The room felt oppressive, so Du Mingxian stood at the door waiting without rushing over. Soon, a second-class maid brought her a bowl of noodles and two side dishes.
Du Mingxian took the tray and carried the food to Tian Rong's bedside. "Miss, are you hungry? Have something to eat."
Tian Rong was indeed a little hungry, "Okay."
Du Mingxian sat down by Tian Rong's bedside, holding a tray in her hand. Tian Rong ate slowly and methodically. Du Mingxian could hold the tray at first, but after a while, she couldn't keep up and her arm started to ache terribly.
Nan'er noticed that Du Mingxian's body was swaying and looked disgusted. "Give it to me."
Du Mingxian quickly got up and handed the tray to Nan'er, who sat down on the edge of the bed and carried it.
Tian Rong was also somewhat dissatisfied, "Alright, Xiao Du, you can go down now."
"Yes."
Seeing that Tian Rong was unhappy, Nan'er hurriedly comforted her, "Miss, don't be angry."
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that the child in her belly is useful to me, I wouldn't have kept her. She can't even handle such a small matter." Tian Rong was already unhappy, and now she also found Du Mingxian rather displeasing.
Nan'er could only advise, "If Miss finds her an eyesore, let her go live in the backyard. She can still be of use to you after the child is born. You can just appoint a maidservant to accompany you."
"No need for that. Keeping her under our noses will put our minds at ease. Let her stay put. The more she knows, the less likely the news will get out. It will be interesting to see how anxious she gets."
Nan'er was a little worried, but she could only nod.
"Miss, please don't be impulsive. Aunt Bai really went too far this time. She hit you over such a small matter. It's too much."
Tian Rong got angry as soon as she heard about it. "Hmph, she's just relying on the little power she has here, and my brother is being raised by her. She still hasn't realized her place. Don't worry, I'll get my revenge later."
Nan'er knew why Tian Rong had been beaten, so she asked in a low voice, "Then, Miss, will you still keep Young Master Mo by your side in the future?"
“Why shouldn’t I stay? I got beaten up because of him. I’ve already been beaten, so I can’t just push him away. That would be too much of a loss for me.”
Nan'er didn't say anything more.
Tian Rong's eyes were filled with gloom. "Aunt Bai even complained that I spent too much money because she had silently killed Ming Shizi's child. In the end, each of these people's lives cost 150,000 taels of silver, and we were the ones who paid for it."
"In the end, it's just that they're stingy with money. They have no vision. The silver mine is right there, and whoever uses this silver is using it, it doesn't matter."
"Besides, if I give this silver to the Ming Prince's Mansion, they will use it for training troops. Even if I don't give this silver to the Ming Prince's Mansion, Aunt Bai and the others will still need to give silver to the Ming Prince's Mansion in the future. They really don't know how to calculate."
"Besides, I've given him all this silver and gotten rid of all of Prince Ming's mistresses. I'm going to marry Prince Ming in the future. Even if I don't like him, the first legitimate child will still come out of my womb."
Nan'er felt that Tian Rong was absolutely right. Since the money was going to be given anyway, what difference did it make how it was given? Giving the money this way would also get rid of some troublesome people.
"Aunt Bai can't understand it."
"Forget about her. She's already seen Xiao Du, and she even asked me to bring Xiao Du over in a few days so she can see him."
Nan'er was a little worried, "Miss, if something is found out about Xiao Du, will Aunt Bai take Xiao Du away? That would reduce your bargaining chips."
"That's very likely, so I've already sent my secret guards to stop Aunt Bai from investigating. When they find out she's just an ordinary pregnant woman, let's see what Aunt Bai can say then."
"Miss is clever."
After Du Mingxian came out, she stayed in the courtyard and wouldn't let her go in, which was fine with her not wanting to go in anyway.
When Tian Rong was recovering from her injuries, she was in a terrible mood and disliked Du Mingxian, so Du Mingxian rarely served her. Most of the time, she was either in her own room or guarding the courtyard.
It wasn't until five days later, when Tian Rong's injuries had healed somewhat, that the atmosphere in the courtyard returned to normal.
Du Mingxian had been by Tian Rong's side for quite some time.
Tian Rong's courtyard was isolated within the Tian family mansion. No one came to inquire about her, and Tian Rong didn't pay her respects to her parents morning and evening like other children. None of that happened.
Seven days after Tian Rong was injured, Madam Tian brought a maid over.
"How's the injury?"
"I feel much better, thank you, Mother."
Madam Tian felt sorry for Tian Rong, "I had someone find some good medicine for you to use slowly."
"it is good."
"All lost weight."
"Perhaps because I've been recovering from my injury these past few days, I've been in a bad mood and haven't been eating much."
Madam Tian sighed softly, unsure of what to say. In the end, she could only say, "Focus on recovering from your injury. Put everything else aside for now."
"My daughter knows."
Madam Tian looked around and coldly ordered, "You may all leave. I need to speak with Miss alone."
The servants all left, the door was closed, and before Madam Tian could speak, Tian Rong asked, "Did Aunt Bai send you to persuade me?"
"Yes, they asked me to deliver a letter."
Tian Rong didn't speak, and Madam Tian was also somewhat helpless, "It's really not good for Mo to stay by your side; it's not good if word gets out."
“Mother, Mo is now rootless. What can a eunuch do? If you can’t even tolerate a eunuch, then let them say whatever they want.”
"My dear child, I knew you didn't need to agree to send Mo away, but you need to consider that Prince Ming's side is almost ready, and your marriage to Prince Ming's heir should also be put on the agenda."
