Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 48 Nightmare

She wanted to escape, but the thick black fog wrapped her tightly in it.

No matter how she ran, the black fog in front of her could not be cleared away, and the screams and roars in her ears shocked her to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.

His body was shaking uncontrollably.

Invisibly, it was as if someone was holding her neck tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe for a moment. She struggled hard, but those invisible hands seemed to want to put her to death before she would give up.

Frightened and desperate, she was helpless and hesitant.

Weeping silently, as if the sky and the earth were all dark.

She couldn't see a glimmer of light or a glimmer of hope.

She lowered her struggling hands, slowly closed her eyelids in despair, and gave up as if resigned to her fate, her whole body was lifeless.

"Yue'er?"

An urgent call woke her up instantly.

Song Jinyue opened her eyes, her blurred vision gradually became clearer, and the anxious-looking girl beside the couch was holding her hand tightly.

Song Jinyue's tense mind suddenly relaxed completely at this moment. She looked at the girl, her eyes gradually filled with a layer of mist, and she called out with a choked voice, "Cousin Zhi..."

Seeing that she finally woke up, Zhang Dingzhi's anxious expression relaxed slightly, and he turned around and ordered the maid to bring over the medicine that had been boiling on the stove.

Then he reached out and touched the forehead of this delicate cousin, who was as delicate as the wind. Seeing that her previously hot forehead had slightly subsided, he quickly put a freshly wet handkerchief on her forehead.

"You are so good, why do you say you are sick? You really don't know how to take care of your body! If I hadn't heard that the fifth prince came to the house today, I came to see you, and now you are still sick.

Yes, it’s really scary!”

Zhang Dingzhi held her cousin's soft jade hand tightly and murmured her worries and accusations against her just now.

When she came earlier, the maids in Mingzhuxuan were in a panic, and Grandma Yuan was also sitting on pins and needles in the house.

Only then did she realize that her cousin had fallen asleep, but suddenly she felt so hot that she started having nightmares. She had sent her maid to call for a doctor.

Zhang Dingzhi then ordered the maid he had brought to leave the house before asking for the doctor.

And she held her cousin's hand tightly and stayed by her side every step of the way.

No one from this huge Duke's mansion came to see my cousin, which is really chilling!

Fortunately, the doctor took a look and said that my cousin just caught wind and cold. Once she woke up, her fever subsided, and she took medicine, she would be fine.

The maid came again to send a message, saying that the Duke had finished the banquet with the fifth prince and wanted to take his highness down to see Song Jinyue.

Zhang Dingzhi had a cold face and mocked the maid who came to deliver the message, "Which family in this huge capital city would let a young lady who is too sick to stay in bed go out to meet guests!"

The maid was so embarrassed that she withdrew with a blushing face.

Everyone in the Duke's mansion originally thought that the second young lady was lying about being sick, but now that Miss Zhang's denunciation made people think that the second young lady might really be sick.

Although He Yuanzhen wanted to come and have a look, he was hindered by etiquette, so he left and only asked Song Guogong to take good care of Song Jinyue.

Zhang Dingzhi helped her cousin get up, asked her maid to get a fox fur and put it on her cousin, and then personally served her cousin to take the medicine.

However, as soon as the medicine bowl was put down, the matron of the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Shen, came to Mingzhuxuan with a group of people including her mother-in-law and maidservant Wu Yangyang.

Zhang Dingzhi's face suddenly became unhappy. He stood up, bowed, and called out, "Mrs. Shen."

Mrs. Shen looked at Song Jinyue, who was lying crookedly on the couch leaning on a soft pillow, and saw that her little palm-sized face was pale and without a trace of blood, and she looked completely without energy.

On the contrary, Mrs. Shen felt a little fearful when she looked at it.

Mrs. Shen was supported by Nanny Zhao and walked to the soft couch and was about to sit down.

"Mrs. Shen, my cousin is ill. I'm afraid she might get sick of you, so you'd better stay away." Zhang Dingzhi stood beside Mrs. Shen, without a trace of smile on his face.

There was not even the slightest bit of respect in what he said.

She was very dissatisfied with the step-wife Shen married by the Duke of Song Dynasty.

Since she was a child, she often came to see her little aunt, and she could always see Mr. Shen wandering around the Duke's mansion with her daughter. From that time on, she disliked Mr. Shen.

Mrs. Shen smiled coquettishly and looked at Song Jinyue with a worried look on her face. The tip of her nose twitched slightly and she actually squeezed out two tears. "It's so good, but why am I sick? It really makes my mother anxious to death."

Song Jinyue had no strength at all and looked at Shen with empty eyes.

On the contrary, Mrs. Shen was startled by her look and swayed. Aunt Zhao held her wife firmly.

Zhang Dingzhi added, "Mrs. Shen, my cousin has just taken the medicine now. Let her rest first. There is such a crowd of people in the house. It is not good for my cousin to see and be upset. It is not good to be tired and seriously ill again!"

"Yes, look at me, I was anxious for a moment, but it just caused trouble for Yue'er." Mrs. Shen said to herself, and then looked at Song Jinyue, who was lying on the couch.

He continued: "Yue'er, don't worry. If you want to eat or want anything, you can go to your mother to ask for it. Even if you don't have it in the house, your mother will definitely send someone out of the house to find it for you. You have a good rest first. , after you recover from your illness, mother will not disturb your rest."

After Shen finished speaking, Zhang Dingzhi made a gesture of seeing off guests.

Mrs. Shen glanced at her, but didn't say anything. She was supported by Aunt Zhao, but after taking only two steps, she suddenly stopped, turned to look at Zhang Dingzhi, and asked, "Miss Zhang wants to stay at the Duke's Mansion. ?I might as well send someone to your door to inform Mrs. Zhang."

"No need, thank you Madam Shen for your kindness. I have sent someone back to pass the news. Madam Shen doesn't have to worry. I am in the Duke's Mansion and will not use any of it!"

Zhang Dingzhi looked directly at Mr. Shen, and his words made Mr. Shen feel a little annoyed.

Mrs. Shen snorted coldly and left Mingzhuxuan with a roomful of servants.

"Mother Yuan, please send someone to clean the house quickly, so that this bad luck doesn't happen to my cousin."

"Yes, I will send someone to clean it up now."

Zhang Dingzhi then gave up, looking at Shen's arrogant and hypocritical appearance, which made her nauseous.

If it weren't for worrying about her cousin, she wouldn't have bothered to step through the gate of the Duke's mansion!

"Cousin Zhi..."

Song Jinyue's voice was hoarse and low. She only called out once, and she seemed to have exhausted all her strength.

"Cousin, lie down and rest. I asked the kitchen to stew a light red date and yam soup for you. When you wake up, you can eat it hot." Zhang Dingzhi felt a little annoyed in her heart, but she didn't You should use words to attack Mr. Shen in front of your cousin.

After all, I'm afraid it will be difficult to call my cousin in the future, but it's hard to take back what I say.

She simply helped her cousin lie down to rest first, then she put the fox fur cloak that she had just put on her cousin on the soft quilt, and tucked her cousin's quilt tightly, and then she looked at her cousin with distress. .

He just told her to sleep peacefully and stay here to guard her until she leaves.

Song Jinyue nodded, then slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

This time I slept very soundly and peacefully.
