The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 35 35. Good intentions

Fortunately, the coachman was experienced and tightened the reins immediately to comfort him, otherwise he would have been overturned.

"Ouch..." Hearing a scream, Feng Jinyao opened her eyes, and Yun Xu also frowned.

 When he lifted the curtain, he saw that an old woman had fallen beside her.

 “Go down to have a look, but our horses disturbed her.”

"yes."

Yun Xu got off the carriage, took two quick steps, and reached out to help the woman who had fallen by the roadside.

“Auntie, did our horses scare you?”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It was my old lady who couldn't walk steadily and slipped on her own. It has nothing to do with the nobleman."

The old woman looked to be in her fifties, with a kind smile on her round face, and her hair and clothes were neatly tidied.

The kind-hearted appearance makes people feel close to each other just by looking at him.

Yun Xu quickly helped her stand up, "It's snowy and the road is slippery. Auntie, you should be more careful."

 “Hey, hey, thank you girl for your kindness, the old lady will remember it.”

Looking down, I saw that there was a lot of mud stuck to the edge of the trousers. The toes of her right feet touched the ground. It seemed that every movement caused pain and made the old woman break out in sweat.

Yun Xu looked worried and helped her step by step to the roadside to sit down.

“Auntie, is your foot sprained? Do you want me to take you to the hospital to have a look?”

As he spoke, he squatted down and gently opened the right leg of his trousers. Sure enough, his ankle was so red and swollen that he couldn't walk anymore.

 The old woman didn't realize that this girl was actually kind-hearted.

Looking at her dress, she doesn’t look like a girl from an ordinary family, but rather looks like a maid from a wealthy family.

So he asked tentatively.

"It doesn't matter. The old lady has medicinal wine for bruises at home. Just go back and wipe it on. There's no need to bother the girl."

After saying that, he pointed to the Feng family's carriage parked nearby, "It's true that the carriage is occupied by a noble person. Girl, you'd better wait and go home quickly. The road is busy, so don't disturb the noble person."

Yun Xu was a little shocked. This aunt's eyes were poisonous. It took only a moment to tell that their identities were different.

Not far away, Xiangqiu bought two large bags of food before returning to the carriage. She saw Yunxu squatting on the stone steps, with an old woman sitting next to her, looking at Feng Jinyao in the car with a puzzled expression. whispered.

 “Miss, what’s going on?”

 Gently opening a corner of the curtain, Feng Jinyao's eyes were stupefied, and he immediately saw the old woman's swollen ankles.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered many things from my past life and felt compassion.

He ordered to Hydrangea, "Take some money and go over to treat the lady's injury, and then find a cart to take her home."

"yes."

The old woman never expected that the noble man who had not been seen in the car would be so kind, and she was a little stunned.

Looking at the white hair on her temples, Yunxu was a little worried, maybe thinking of her mother at home, so she walked to the carriage to ask for instructions.

"Miss, can you let me take this aunt home? When she is fine, I will go back to the house on my own."

There was nothing going on, so Feng Jinyao agreed.

 “Well, then be careful on the road.”

After saying that, he asked the young man who was following behind to separate one person from Yunxu. After Xiangqiu got on the carriage, the coachman slowly drove the carriage forward.

 Looking at the lanterns hanging around the carriage with the word "phoenix" written on them, the old woman frowned slightly.

There are not many families with the surname Feng in the entire Dongdu City. Among the people she knows, her family is the only one with the surname Feng. Could it be that she is the young lady from the household minister’s family?

The boy found a cart, and Yunxu and Yunxu helped the old woman get on the cart. One pushed her from behind and the other supported her by the side. The three of them headed in the opposite direction.

 Soon, we arrived at Lihua Lane.

Next to the alley is the Kongshi Bridge, and the first house under the stone bridge is the old woman's house.

 There is an osmanthus tree in front of the door, but its branches and leaves are now scattered.

“Auntie, is there anyone else at home? Do you want your family to come out and pick them up?” Yun Xu asked sincerely.

“Girl, you’re welcome, my husband’s surname is Zhang, and the neighbors all call me Aunt Zhang. The old man has gone to the mountains to collect medicine, and I’m the only one in the family. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble the girl to send me in.”

 Aunt Zhang spoke cheerfully and politely, and was not intimidated by knowing her identity.

Yunxu liked her temperament, and since he hadn't seen her family for a long time, he took care of Aunt Zhang as a relative.

“It’s okay, I brought you some medicinal wine and I’ll help you apply it before leaving.”

　　When you enter the house, you see an empty ground filled with shelves. The shelves are full of medicinal materials, some fresh and some aged, so the house is filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Helping Aunt Zhang to sit on a bench in the corridor, Yun Xu turned around and went into the house to look for medicinal wine.

“Put it on top of the cabinet, that’s the black bottle.”

 The furnishings in the house are simple, but neat and tidy. One glance shows that this aunt is a decent person.

I took the medicinal wine and poured it gently on my ankles, feeling a chill coming from my ankles.

Yunxu pressed her gently for a while, and surprisingly, the bruised areas spread out.

 She is full of surprise now. She has been serving the Feng family since she was a child, and has seen a lot of rare and exotic medicines. This is the first time she has seen medicines that work so quickly.

“Auntie, this medicine of yours must have been passed down from our ancestors, why is it so powerful?”

 Aunt Zhang couldn't help but feel happy when she saw the way her eyes widened.

"It was prepared by my old man. He doesn't know anything else. He can still cure injuries caused by bruises or something."

The words were full of pride, and Yun Xu envied the relationship between the two of them.

He handed over a bag of food and said, "There is food in here. Auntie, your legs and feet are inconvenient. It may be troublesome to cook, so just make do with some. There is also some money in it. My lady asked me to treat your injury. I still have to Hurry back and recover, I won’t stay any longer.”

 Aunt Zhang nodded, accepted the bag of food, but returned the money.

“Is your lady the third lady of the Feng family?”

"How do you know, aunt?" Yun Xu was surprised at first, and then remembered, "You saw the words on the carriage, right?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded, "When Mrs. Bai celebrated her birthday a few days ago, I happened to pass by the Bai Mansion, and I happened to see your young lady getting out of the car. I heard the Bai family servant call Miss Feng San, so I made a bold guess."

 Good memory and good thinking.

Yun Xu suddenly felt more admiration for this aunt, and at the same time he was a little confused.

Look, she lives in an ordinary home, but her speaking and knowledge are not much worse than Mama Bai in the mansion.

 Who is she?

 Seeing Yun Xu's expression change, Aunt Zhang explained.

“I used to be a mother who served my wife in the house, but later I got a favor from my master and came out to take care of myself in old age, so I know a little bit about it.”

So it turned out that Yun Xu said a few words and took the boy back to the house. On the contrary, Aunt Zhang looked at her leaving figure and showed a meaningful smile.
