Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

The woman maid held a basket with a lid, and the three of them were not talking.

Seeing that, Qiao Xuan and Taotao made way for them to pass through.

Two meters away from them, the woman swayed and then collapsed with her eyes closed.

The middle-aged maid and young maid cried out together as they helped the madame up.

“First Madame, please, First Madame!”

“First Madame, wake up, please, wake up!’

Qiao Xuan and Taotao went up to help them without any hesitation.

But they did not know how to cure sick people.

“Auntie, should you take the lady into the city for a medical checkup? We have a wagon and we can take you there.”

The maid looked up and saw Taotao and Qiao Xuan. She forced a smile and said, “It is fine, but could you help us to carry her back to our abbey?”

The maid clearly knew that First Madame was distressed mentally, and that’s why she became sick. She was in a bad mood, thus passing out. It was not that she had any disease.

She was disturbed in her heart, and needed to get that problem cured from the root, otherwise she would not be able to recover.

Qiao Xuan and Taotao nodded.

Together with the middle-aged maid, they helped the madame back to the abbey, which happened to be the place Taotao and Qiao Xuan had intended to go to a while ago.

As they went into the abbey, the servants came with a chair and carried their First Madame back to the room.

The middle-aged maid asked the housekeeper to take Qiao Xuan and Taotao to the hall. She apologized to them before heading back to First Madame to see how she was doing.

The medical pills were slowly dissolving inside warm water. Auntie Hua ordered the other maids to get First Madame to lean against the chair, as she fed the medicine into her mouth.

Gradually, First Madame opened her eyes.

The abbey wasn’t very big, yet it was quiet and neat. Looking out from the window of the flower hall, they could see the corridor pavilion, rockery and lake stones among the flowers and trees.

The trees were lush and green, and everything was very neat.

The maid served them tea and pastry, and stood quietly by the doorstep.

Taotao was feeling uneasy. She had not expected that they would run into such a beautiful abbey.

She looked at her sister-in-law who looked very serene, so she tried to calm herself down too.

But what she did not know was that Qiao Xuan was not feeling calm at all.

Her space was getting agitated and she knew where the good thing should be, yet she just could not touch it directly. Such a feeling sucked.

Qiao Xuan and Taotao would have left by now but for her curiosity towards that unknown thing.

She did not need to stay to seek favor, or attempt to establish a friendship with this family, since all they did was to help carry the woman home. But that unknown piece of treasure was tormenting her mind so much that she really wanted to see what it was.

Auntie Hua came before Qiao Xuan and Taotao waited for too long.

“Thank you for your help today. Our First Madame would like to meet you to express her gratitude, but she is too sick to come over. She has asked me to thank you.”

Auntie Hua bowed to Qiao Xuan and Taotao, as she offered a palm-sized brocade box in orange color.. She said with a smile, “It is already lunchtime, why not stay for lunch here at the abbey?”
