Meng Nan stayed in front of his mother’s bed. When it was about daybreak, he fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

When Mrs. Meng woke up, she felt her mouth dry and her stomach was empty. She felt very hungry.

She opened her mouth, but she couldn’t make a sound. So she sat up on the edge of the bed. She felt her surroundings were circling and there seemed to be countless stars circling on her head. It took her a long time to recover.

When her surroundings became clear, she saw her son lying at the bedside. She felt relieved. Her son still cares about her.

It’s so cold, why did he fall asleep without a thick robe? Glancing into the room, Jin Shiwei was sleeping in the corner of the room, and her two maidservants were asleep at the table.

Did they guard her all night?

The maidservant guarding at night woke up immediately when she heard a little movement. Seeing their madam sitting, looking lovingly at her sleeping son, she called out happily: “Madam is awake, Madam is awake!”

How can she not be excited? Their madam has been sleeping in a drowsy manner for several days and has never been sober again. So naturally, she was overjoyed.

With the maidservant’s cry, Meng Nan, who was sleeping on the edge of the bed, immediately sat up. Then looked up and met his mother’s eyes. Those eyes were no longer the same as before, and she doesn’t look confused like before: “Mother, do you recognize me?”

Madam Meng laughed and said: “You silly boy, what are you talking about? How can your mother not recognize you?”

Meng Nan’s eyes turned red immediately. His nose was sour. His mother seemed to remember nothing. She didn’t remember the nonsense she had said, and that she had gone crazy.

“Mother, it’s fine as long as you woke up. It’s fine as long as you woke up!” He slightly raised his head to push back his tears.

The maidservant brought Madam Meng a hot tea and fed a half.

Madam Meng said: “I’m so hungry, you get me some food. I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. I bought some before. I haven’t eaten them yet, right?”

What she said before, it was half a month ago. So even though the cake was still there, they didn’t dare to give it to her.

Meng Nan remembered Bai Zhi’s instructions and hurriedly took out the porcelain bottle and poured out a pill: “Mother, you must take your medicine before you eat.”

Seeing that her son was so careful, Madam Meng couldn’t help but swallowed the pill with a smile. She didn’t feel bitter, she felt sweet in her heart.

After eating, she asked what medicine it was: “What medicine did you give me?”

Meng Nan said: “I heard that Zhier said it was a sugar-lowering pill. I don’t know what it is, but this medicine is very effective. You took two pills last night and you woke up today.”

Madam Meng frowned. Zhi’er? Isn’t that the mountain village girl Meng Nan sending a letter in Qingyuan?

“Who is Zhi’er you’re talking about?” Madam Meng’s face immediately sank and she felt her chest was heavy.

Knowing that he couldn’t hide it from her, Meng Nan simply said: “It’s Bai Zhi. She has come to the capital. She is the one who treated your disease.”

Madam Meng, who was in a good mood, immediately fell into the abyss. She pushed Meng Nan away in front of her and said angrily: “Why did I get sick? Others may not know, but you don’t know? Why did you bring her here? Is it because I am not sick enough?”

Meng Nan became anxious. He was afraid that something might happen again if she got too angry. So he busily persuaded her: “Mother, don’t think about it. Zhi’er is simply treating your disease, and nothing else. She came because I begged her. You shouldn’t be like this.”

Madam Meng’s eyes turned red when she heard him say this: “What do you mean by this? I shouldn’t be like this? Could it be you want me to give her a face? And smile at her?”
