Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 28: Being fooled

The "young lady" housekeeper stepped forward, covering half of her face. The forced smile on her face made Ling Ruoli feel very uncomfortable.

Ling Ruoli asked: "What happened to you?"

"You should go see the mistress."

"What about mother?"

"Last night, an assassin wanted to kill the master of the family. The mistress happened to be there at that time, so she blocked the assassin's blade for the master of the family. He is still in danger. The master of the family has been guarding all night."

Ling Ruoli hurried to her mother's courtyard. Her mother's door was closed and her father was waiting by the side. But when she saw the second wife Jiang Yueqing, her eyes were full of surprise. "Why did she come out?"

The second lady was accompanying the head of the family, and the father was very worried about the mother.

"Father, Second Aunt," Ling Ruoli said.

"Oh, Ruoli, you're finally back. I'm afraid your mother is in danger." The second wife choked at first, then wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, but there were no tears in her eyes. Instead, Ling Ruoli saw pride in her eyes.

"It's too early for Second Auntie to speak."

"Ling'er, there is no one in charge in the mansion now, so we have to ask Jiang to leave the temple early."

Ling Ruoli said indifferently: "Father is the head of the family, Ling'er will naturally listen to father"

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Lin Yuehua's personal maid choked and said: "The princess is breathing weakly and is about to die."

Without listening to her nonsense, Ling Ruoli pushed her away and rushed into the house. Ling Rui anxiously pulled the doctor, but the doctor just sighed and was helpless.

It happened that at this time the servant reported back that the young master of General Murong's mansion wanted to see him, saying that he had a life-saving elixir.

When she entered the room, Ling Ruoli smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine, which was a little overwhelmed for a moment. She came to the bed in panic and saw the person lying on the bed. His face was pale and his body was as thin as duckweed.

"Li'er" Lin Yuehua stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Ling Ruoli, but she couldn't lift her arm.

"Mother, you will be fine." Ling Ruoli's nose was sore and she held Lin Yuehua's hand tightly, but her mother's hand was extremely cold. At this moment, her heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.

Lin Yuehua said slowly: "Help me... up"

Ling Ruoli and the maidservant beside her helped Lin Yuehua up. Lin Yuehua leaned on her shoulder and asked the others to leave. She had a bleak smile on her face: "When I was your age, I married your father for the sake of my motherland. At that time, your brother, who had just come to power, did not want to be an enemy of the neighboring country. In order to ensure the peace of the two countries, he agreed to the marriage of Changguo. It has been sixteen years. I still hope to see my motherland again. Maybe I won't be able to see it anymore."

"I definitely can," Ling Ruoli choked up.

Lin Yuehua wanted to reach out and wipe the tears from her face, but her arms were too weak. She just smiled bitterly and said, "Your father has treated me with respect over the years, but I still can't let it go in my heart. I don't know what I'm resentful about."

"By the way, I have a way to save you. I will take you back when the time comes." Ling Ruoli then remembered that she had a medical book, but now she was very confused and couldn't free her hands to read it.

She was asking the system for help, and the system asked her to clear all her experience points as a price. Ling Ruoli did not hesitate at all and confirmed it.

After the system cleared all the points, someone came in with the elixir. Ling Ruoli carefully took the elixir and helped Lin Yuehua take it. She then took the water beside her and gave it to her mother.

After Lin Yuehua swallowed the pill, Ling Ruoli's heart rose to his throat. After the doctor's expression changed unpredictably, he stood up and said with a smile: "It is indeed a miracle drug. Madam is fine now. Master Ling and Miss Ling can rest assured. I only need to prescribe some convalescent prescriptions. Madam will recover after a period of nursing."

"Thank you very much"

The housekeeper asked the doctor to leave, and everyone else left as well. Ling Ruoli waited for a while before going out. It was already dark by then.

She felt a little dizzy, but she was still very happy.

"Miss, Young Master Murong has been waiting for you for a long time."

"What is he doing here?" Ling Ruoli felt a little tired and was about to say no, but the maid said that it was Young Master Murong who delivered the medicine during the day. Ling Ruoli's heart skipped a beat.

“Lead the way”

"Yes"

Since the medicine was delivered, Murong Lian has been waiting in the pavilion for two hours. Feeling sleepy, he raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, then supported his head and prepared to take a nap.

Ling Ruoli shouted from behind: "Murong Lian"

He was startled, turned around and noticed Ling Ruoli's eyes were red, and was about to tease him, but Ling Ruoli approached him directly, grabbed his collar, and said viciously: "Why didn't you come earlier? If you came earlier, I wouldn't have to..."

Seeing that she was silent, Murong Lian thought that he came late and made Ling Ruoli cry for a long time, so he said, "I'm sorry."

"Did the medicine come to you from Saint Monk Juechen?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Murong Lian was now very passive. Ling Ruoli stood up and noticed that there were several pairs of eyes staring at them.

Murong Lian got up from the ground, stood behind Ling Ruoli and said with a smile: "Oh, that's not good, this can't be washed away"

"What can't be cleared?" Ling Ruoli asked back.

"You and me" he pointed at the two of them.

Ling Ruoli, on the other hand, didn't care. As long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was fine. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looked up at the sky and said, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight, please go back! I won't see you off." She turned around and prepared to leave.

"That's right." Murong Lian took her hand and said, "I've been waiting here for more than two hours. It's okay for you to see me off."

Her face instantly became hot, like a cat with its fur blasted. "What are you doing?"

"I came all the way here to deliver medicine, but you treat me like this. It's really disheartening." The man was shameless, and she didn't know what to do with him for a moment. In order to express her gratitude, she finally agreed to send the man out of the house, only to find that he came on horseback.

Seeing the man climb onto the horse with great agility, Ling Ruoli asked, "Why don't you take the carriage?"

"A certain young lady said that carriages are for young ladies, not for men."

Ling Ruoli said a little embarrassedly: "I was rash that day, I apologize"

“Your apology is so insincere.”

"I'll treat you to tea some other day. It's a deal." Ling Ruoli waved her hand.

"Is this an invitation?"

"nonsense"

Murong Lian stroked his chin and said carefully: "I need to think about this. After all, there are many girls who have invited me. If I just accept it, it will inevitably hurt the feelings of other girls."

Originally sincere, Ling Ruoli narrowed his eyes, turned around and said, "Butler, close the door."
