Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"Doctor, what about the Fifth Madam's condition? Should we wake her up for dinner and medicine tonight?" Tao asked the doctor who had come from afar. He was a doctor that the Crown Prince's wife had found in the north and had brought to the capital at a high price, so he must be quite skilled.

"At this time, it's more important for the lady to rest than to take medicine. Let her sleep, and tomorrow she can eat something easy to digest."

"Doctor, you said last time the prescription didn't need to be changed, but Madam doesn't want to take the current prescription anymore. Can't it be changed?"

The doctor pondered for a moment: "Let's be frank. If Madam doesn't want to take this medicine, she shouldn't. It has a strong taste and will only affect her appetite."

"You're not eating anymore?"

"Madam's recovery has little to do with the medicine. Her heartache has healed, and with a balanced diet, she can recover slowly." The doctor explained the diagnosis. He had come to see her several times since she was able to eat two bowls of porridge last time. At first, he was unsure, but after summarizing her pulse and pulse records, he found that her health was indeed improving, but it had little to do with his medicine.

"Will this work?" Tao asked hesitantly.

The doctor, being worldly-wise, said, "Don't be hasty, sir. Observe for a while longer. If the situation becomes clear, I will bid farewell to the madam and the young master's wife. However, if the madam does not wish to take this medicine, then she may not."

"Thank you, Doctor." Tao was happy and asked her maid to take the doctor to the front yard to rest.

The next day, Lu Zhiyao, who slept until Chenshi (7-9 AM), was still a little dizzy when she first opened her eyes. After a while, she called out, "Someone come here."

"Madam, are you awake?" Tao entered with her maids and reached out to help her up.

"Pour me a glass of warm water first."

As soon as she finished speaking, a glass of water was placed on her lips. After drinking the water and calming down, she slowly got up to do her makeup and ate a bowl of sweet porridge before she finally had a bit of strength left.

She had been too arrogant and underestimated how weak this body was. Resting for more than ten days wouldn't make much of a difference. She went back to her parents' home to take care of some things for half a day and almost fainted on the way.

The main reason was that she really didn't expect to be so weak. She was very healthy in modern times, and Lian Yanyan from the previous mission was even more healthy, not catching a cold for several years.

"I'll send a letter to the Marquis of Rongchang's residence in three days." She wanted to see this older sister. Originally, she planned to send the letter today and go tomorrow, but now she thought she should rest for a few days first.

"Madam, would you like to rest for a few more days?"

"No need. We won't be staying at my sister's for too long, so it should be fine." The main problem is that there are too many issues with the servants at their mother's place. They want to replace the dowry nanny she's used to, but they can't let their eldest brother get involved, because their mother will suspect their sister-in-law. Only they, the daughters, can do it.

As for her, whether it was the original owner or the current her, she was no match for her older siblings; at the very least, she had no one to rely on.

Actually, the original owner was always said to be not smart, but in reality, she was probably just an ordinary person, not stupid. Her lack of intelligence was only highlighted by the cunning people around her.

Rongchang Marquis's Mansion

Lu Zhilan looked at the post with curiosity: "Did Yao'er send this?"

After she married into the Marquis's mansion, Yao'er only visited with her mother before her marriage. After she married into the Zhou family, she never even attended the banquets held by the Marquis's mansion. It was always Yao'er, as the older sister, who visited her younger sister and watched her gradually grow thinner.

"Yes, Madam, the woman who came from Madam Zhou's side is a familiar face. She's the daughter-in-law who's now in charge of serving Madam when she goes out."

"What did you say?"

"She didn't say, so she probably doesn't know either."

"Let's ask again when Yao'er arrives tomorrow." Lu Zhilan personally put the invitation away. "Tomorrow, prepare Yao'er's favorite rose cake and goat milk cake, and also prepare some hot goat milk."

"Yes."

The next day, Lu Zhiyao went to the Rongchang Marquis's residence without her child. As soon as she got out of the carriage, her sister grabbed her hand.

"Sister, what are you doing at the second gate?"

"I've come to pick you up," Lu Zhilan said, pulling her younger sister along. "You look much better; you did a good job hiring this doctor."

"I always make my sister worry about me."

"Isn't this what I should do? Now that you're better, why are you being so polite with your older sister?"

"Sister~"

Lu Zhilan first took her younger sister to pay her respects to the Lady of the Marquis. The Lady of the Marquis was very satisfied with Lu Zhilan as her daughter-in-law and was even more considerate and warm towards her family. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she said, "It's rare for your sister to come. Take her back and have a good talk with her."

"Yes, Mother. Neither the Marquis nor the Heir Apparent will be home for dinner today. I will eat with you tonight."

"Okay, then I'll have the kitchen prepare your favorite soup."

"Thank you, Mother."

After saying that, Lu Zhilan took her younger sister and returned to her own courtyard.

"Please sit down. Are you thirsty? Hungry? Can I have some tea? Are there any dietary restrictions?"

"Sister, just give me a glass of warm water. I'm not hungry. As for food, try to eat soft, mild, and mild foods. Basically, things that aren't very tasty." Lu Zhiyao answered one by one. In fact, this body was already used to these kinds of foods. In addition, her small kitchen had six cooks who put a lot of effort into preparing her food, so the taste was not bad.

However, her soul was not quite used to it; she wanted to eat something with a stronger flavor.

"You silly girl, take good care of yourself. Once you're fully recovered, you can eat whatever you want!" Lu Zhilan shook her head and scolded. She was raised by her grandmother as the eldest daughter of the family, and she was full of shrewdness, scheming, strategic thinking, and responsibility. Since her younger sister returned to the capital, she had taken on the responsibility of her confused mother and weak sister, and she had done her best to take care of them.

"Sister, I've come to talk to you about something."

"What is it? Don't worry, your sister is here." Lu Zhilan reassured her first, explaining that the doctor had said her younger sister's health couldn't be overworked.

"It was my mother. I went home a few days ago and found her making my sister-in-law stand as punishment..." He then recounted the situation at home and took a few sips of water.

Lu Zhilan frowned slightly and spoke first to her sister with concern: "Drink slowly, don't choke."

"Sister, I'm fine. I came here this time to ask you to recommend someone. That Granny Xinrong must be replaced. She's the worst kind of person. Those two maids getting into Mother's side must have been her doing."

"This Granny Xinrong never married or had children in her life. She always stayed by my mother's side. My mother was grateful for her sacrifices and trusted her completely. We, her children, had to take a backseat. In fact, her brother gave his son to her for adoption. This child was deregistered from a young age and is studying hard. It is said that he will be able to take the exam next year."

"That's it? Even if he has a smooth journey and becomes the top scholar, he's still just a poor scholar in front of our families. That Granny Xinrong has been in a prestigious family for most of her life, do you think she doesn't understand? Is she putting on airs in front of me?" Lu Zhiyao said, puzzled.

Lu Zhilan praised her younger sister with satisfaction: "Yao'er is right. That's how the world is. But you can only say this in front of your older sister. You can't say it in front of outsiders. Let alone the top scholar, even ordinary students who pass the exam are pillars of the country. They are the elite talents selected by the court from all over the country. Do you understand?"
