Chapter 880: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (Part 2)
Song Qingli's consciousness gradually returned in a hazy state. She felt herself wrapped in a warm and soft quilt, with hot water bottles placed at her hands, feet and lower abdomen, all of which were warm.
The anxious calls of the maids Chunlan and Nanny Lin were in her ears. Their voices were like the distant tide, sometimes far away and sometimes near. She tried to open her eyes, but she saw Chunlan's tear-stained face.
Chunlan came to the bed in surprise.
"Miss, you finally woke up!"
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"About an hour. After you fainted, Madam and I took you back to Xianyue Residence and asked the court physician to come. Doctor Wu prescribed some medicine to dispel the cold. You should drink it overnight."
Nanny Lin was also very happy. She carefully helped Song Qingli up, placed the cushion behind her, and said guiltily:
"Miss, are you feeling unwell? It's all Madam's fault for not noticing the Second Young Lady's ill intentions."
Qingli coughed twice, then pulled the nanny and said, "I'm fine, I just caught a cold. Bring me the medicine."
"Miss, let me feed you the medicine."
Qingli waved her hand. She smelled the medicine first to confirm that it was for treating colds before drinking it all in one gulp.
Nanny Lin came over with a box of candied fruit and said distressedly, "Miss, please have some candied fruit to sweeten your mouth."
"Thank you, Ma'am, but I'll just have some warm water. Leave the candied fruit alone."
Qingli glanced inside the room and saw only Nanny Lin and Chunlan.
"Chunlan, where is Qiulan? I asked her to go back and get her cloak, but she hasn't returned to the small garden." Chunlan's eyes became red again when Qiulan was mentioned. She saw that the young lady had not come back for a long time, and was afraid that something had happened, so she and Nanny Lin came out to look for her. As a result, Nanny Lin found Qiulan fainted in the grass. Fearing that something had happened, she asked someone to help Qiulan back, and then hurried to the small garden.
"Miss, Qiulan was knocked unconscious in the bushes. The back of her head is swollen, but she's not seriously injured. She should wake up soon."
"Take good care of Qiulan. Let her recover completely before returning to her duties. There's no need to rush back."
"Yes, ma'am."
Qingli asked about Song Qingting again, and when she learned that Song Qingting hadn't woken up yet, she sneered, "You deserve it."
Chun Lan felt sorry for the young lady and whispered, "Why did you go to save her? It's so cold, and the lake is so icy. If you weren't in good health, you would probably get sick. If the second young lady fell into the water, her servants would have rescued her. Don't think about yourself more!"
Nanny Lin, unlike Chun Lan, was not as thoughtful as she was. She asked what had happened today. She didn't hide anything from her confidant, but she also manipulated her words.
She whispered, "Song Qingting pushed me into the water, intending to drown me. She lost her balance and fell in too. After I climbed ashore, I saw someone approaching, and fearing she might blame me, I jumped in to save her."
Nanny Lin said angrily, "I knew it was the Second Young Lady behind this. How could you have fallen into the water when you were fine?"
Chun Lan was even more furious, her voice barely audible: "She should be drowned, such a black-hearted person."
Qingli glanced out the door and raised her voice slightly, "Second sister, why did you go near the lake for no reason? The moss is so slippery. I was so scared when she fell in! I jumped in to save her without thinking, forgetting I can't swim myself. It's scary to think about it now. She and I almost drowned!"
Nanny Lin reacted and spoke at a normal volume, "This small garden is secluded and quiet. Young Miss went there to play the piano, but why did Second Miss go there too? And she didn't even bring her personal maid. And when we went to the small garden, we didn't see any servants there. Qiulan even fainted on the side of the road. Could someone be trying to harm you and Second Miss?"
Chun Lan was a little confused, but then quickly reacted and said, "Yes, Miss, you must ask the master to make a decision for you and the Second Miss! The person who injured Qiu Lan must be trying to delay time and harm you!"
Qingli said everything she needed to say, and then asked Nanny and Chunlan to leave first.
In Song Qingting's yard.
After hearing what her confidant said, the Prime Minister's wife, Song Chen, frowned and said, "Tell her to go back quickly and not be discovered."
She glanced at her daughter, who was still unconscious in the room, and asked her wet nurse, Mrs. Bao, "What do you think happened today? Did Ting'er really fall into the water by accident?"
