CHAPTER 969: CHAPTER 973: DID NOT SUSPECT (UPDATE 1)

Nalan Jinlian?

Fourteen years old?

The legitimate daughter of the third lord of the Fuwei Marquis Residence.

Nalan Jinlian...

Nalan Jinlian slightly nodded, "And then?"

"Also, Madam has been praying in the temple for years, and the Lord has kept a mistress outside, producing an illegitimate daughter and son, who will soon accompany us back to the Imperial Capital!"

Nalan Jinlian remained silent.

The nurse added, "That day, Miss found out about this, got agitated and anxious, and that’s why she fell from the stairs and hit her head!"

Nalan Jinlian nodded, indicating she understood, and then asked, "Did Mother or Father come to see me?"

"The Lord came, he still cares deeply for Miss, but Madam has been staying in the temple for years and has not visited!"

Nalan Jinlian lowered her eyes.

She pressed her lips together.

"What is the name of the place I am living in now? Who are the maids around me? How much money do I have at hand? How many days until we return to the Imperial Capital?" Nalan Jinlian asked lightly.

"In response to Miss, we are currently living in the Lotus Garden. I am Miss’s nurse, and the maids below call me Qin Mama. There are two head maids and four little maids in the Lotus Garden, along with two rough maids. The head maids are Chong Ling and Chunqiu, both specifically chosen for Miss by the Lord from outside, and they know some martial arts. The four little maids are Danmei, Qianju, Qing Zhu, and Xianglan. Among the rough maids, one is surnamed Chen, the other is surnamed Ni!"

While Qin Mama was talking, Chong Ling quickly poured her some water.

Qin Mama took a sip, then continued, "Over the years, the Lord has given Miss a lot of Silver, totaling two to three million taels, but there are not many pearl hairpins and jewelry. The clothes from the past that Miss did not want to wear were given away, leaving only a few sets. However, we will soon return to the Imperial Capital, where the clothes will undoubtedly be more beautiful and exquisite!"

Nalan Jinlian nodded.

That makes sense.

Seeing Nalan Jinlian nod, Qin Mama smiled, "Miss, we will set off for the Capital City in ten days. Do you want to buy some things to show respect to the old Madame? Also, the two aunts and a few sisters at home? Should preparations be made for the brothers and sisters?"

"My head hurts, so I won’t go out. For the brothers, prepare the Four Treasures of the Study, and for the sisters, prepare gold hairpins and jewelry. Nurse, take care of these, and it’s best to ask Father how many people are in the Marquis Residence so we don’t prepare too little and offend anyone!"

"What Miss says is very true!" Qin Mama said with a smile.

Just then, Chunqiu brought in the medicine, "Miss, your medicine is ready!"

Nalan Jinlian looked at Chunqiu, "Are you Chunqiu?"

"In response to Miss, yes!" Chunqiu said, looking questioningly at Chong Ling and Qin Mama.

Qin Mama took the medicine bowl and carefully fed Nalan Jinlian the medicine.

As the medicine touched her lips, Nalan Jinlian felt a sense of familiarity. Chong Ling called Chunqiu outside and they spoke in hushed tones.

Nalan Jinlian overheard a few words, mostly about how she hit her head and forgot some things.

Listening to the two maids talking outside, Nalan Jinlian lowered her eyes again and slowly drank the bowl of medicine.

Qin Mama quickly handed Nalan Jinlian a candied fruit to suck on.

"Miss, rest for a moment. I’ll go check in the kitchen to see if the porridge is ready for you!"

Nalan Jinlian nodded.

Not knowing anything about the past, she did not appear frightened or anxious.

Chong Ling, Chunqiu, and Qin Mama treated her well, so Nalan Jinlian had no doubts about her identity.

After drinking half a bowl of chicken shredded congee, Nalan Jinlian reclined on the bed, and Chong Ling took a miscellaneous book and read to her.
