I insist

Chapter 269: Overwork

Back home, Song Miqiu walked toward the house as usual.

As soon as she opened the door, she found Yu Huailin lying unconscious on the ground. Song Miqiu exclaimed in surprise and quickly went to Yu Huailin's side to check on him. She found that he had many wounds on his body.

"What's going on...!" Song Miqiu's eyes widened, and she quickly got up and went to the bookshelf to take down the wooden box she had placed there.

Song Miqiu took out all the bandages and placed her fingers on Yu Huailin's wrist, intending to first check the overall situation.

She feared that in addition to the external injuries, Yu Huailin also had internal injuries.

However, upon examination, Song Miqiu discovered that Yu Huailin was merely overworked and had not suffered any internal injuries; moreover, his body was perfectly fine.

The wounds that appear on the surface are all just superficial injuries, which can be healed simply by applying some medicine powder.

Now Song Miqiu began to suspect that Yu Huailin had done something. She grabbed Yu Huailin's hands, pulled him up from the ground, and dragged him to the bed.

"Hoo..." Song Miqiu exhaled a breath of stale air. She rubbed her sore wrists. She hadn't expected that after taking care of Consort Can and leaving the palace, she would have to take care of another patient.

Her eyes were covered in dark circles, probably from not sleeping all night and being exhausted.

Song Miqiu was very puzzled by what Yu Huailin had done. She glanced at Yu Huailin, who was fast asleep on the bed, thought for a moment, and finally turned around and went out to ask someone.

After all, she was genuinely curious about this matter.

As soon as Song Miqiu stepped out, she saw the maid she had hired earlier cleaning the house. She called out to her a few times.

Seeing the maid turn to look at her, Song Miqiu frowned, waved her hand at the maid, and gestured for her to come to her.

"My lord." The maid bowed to Song Miqiu, her head lowered, and stood in front of Song Miqiu with a broom in her hand.

"Do you know what Yu Huailin did yesterday?" As soon as Song Miqiu asked, she realized that her question was a bit presumptuous. After thinking for a moment, she changed her question, "Did he say what he was going to do yesterday?"

The maid paused, thought carefully for a moment, and shook her head at Song Miqiu, "This servant doesn't know either. He didn't tell this servant anything about this."

Didn't they say?

Song Miqiu felt even more puzzled.

But the maid always stayed at home. If even the maid didn't know, then no one else would know either.

Song Miqiu could only suppress her thoughts for the time being and focus on washing her hands. No matter what, she had to wait until Yu Huailin woke up so she could personally ask him what had happened yesterday.

Just as Song Miqiu was about to turn and leave, a maid called out to her, "Why don't you go and check on Madam?"

"Madam?" Song Miqiu blinked, not quite understanding. She wasn't used to this tone yet. She really wasn't used to a maid using such a formal address to address someone in the household.

"Yes, when I went to see her today, I saw that she was much better. I suppose you are her mother-in-law, so you must want to see how well she is doing now."

Song Miqiu could detect a hint of self-satisfaction in the maid's tone, so she smiled and agreed, "Alright, then I'll go see if you've been taking good care of my daughter-in-law these past few days at home!"

Song Miqiu strode towards Tian Yumei's room. She stood at the door, knocked, and tilted her head to the side, saying through the door, "Am I coming in?"

Upon receiving a response from inside, Song Miqiu immediately pushed open the door and went in. She was surprised to see Tian Yumei sitting on a wooden stool weaving insoles, exclaiming, "You're pregnant! Why are you weaving insoles?"

"Mother!" Tian Yumei playfully put down the half-finished insole she was knitting. Her voice was charming as she smiled, "I was just bored."

"Thunder has been nagging me lately, not letting me do anything! I'm a mother of several children, don't I know what I can and can't do?!"

Tian Yumei blushed and said with a smile, "But that day Lei absolutely refused to let me rest! So now I'm lying here with nothing to do, and I thought I'd knit some insoles for my family to pass the time!"

As she spoke, Tian Yumei proudly presented the insoles she had woven to Song Miqiu, saying, "Look at these insoles, they feel so comfortable! When you wear them, especially when you go to the palace to work, I guarantee your feet will feel much more comfortable!"

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu's face immediately lit up with a smile.

She nodded gently, smiling as she touched the insole Tian Yumei handed her. "You're so thoughtful."

Song Miqiu also noticed that the family was now much wealthier, and with her own deliberate guidance, Qiu Tianlei was now treating Tian Yumei much better.

She was very happy to see Tian Yumei's complexion getting better and better.

However, Song Miqiu did not forget the important matter during her visit. She gestured for Tian Yumei to extend her wrist, and Song Miqiu placed her hand on Tian Yumei's wrist.

She carefully examined Tian Yumei's pulse and found that her health was getting better and better, which indicated that her pulse was quite good!

A hint of joy flashed in Song Miqiu's eyes. She withdrew her hand and, seeing Tian Yumei's happy expression, asked with a smile, "How are you feeling right now?"

"Hmm... everything is fine, it's just that your daughter-in-law wants to eat something sour." Tian Yumei hesitated for a moment, then took Song Miqiu's hand and couldn't help but say in a coquettish tone.

Song Miqiu naturally indulged Tian Yumei. She looked at Tian Yumei reproachfully, reached out and gently flicked the tip of her nose, and said with a smile, "Alright! Mother will grant your wish!"

Song Miqiu rolled up her sleeves and left Tian Yumei's room. She made a point of selecting some sour plums. Fortunately, the maid had bought some sour plums when she went grocery shopping today, so Tian Yumei must have been nagging about wanting something sour.

She smiled and picked up a bunch of sour plums, intending to make some sour plum powder. When Tian Yumei wanted something sour, she could just dip her food in the sour plum powder!

At the same time, Song Miqiu also cooked the meal.

She placed the plum powder and some food on the table. Just as Song Miqiu straightened up, she saw Yu Huailin standing not far away, watching her.

Thinking of what she had just witnessed, Song Miqiu subconsciously rolled her eyes at the other person, feeling extremely dissatisfied with the other person's behavior of almost scaring her to death.

Although Yu Huailin saw it, he didn't know what he had done to offend the other party.

After helping Song Miqiu place all the food on the table, Yu Huailin went first to call Tian Yumei and the others out to eat.
