Shuangxin Courtyard.

Looking at the pale and haggard Madam Lin lying on the bed, Yan Zhigao felt a throbbing pain and rubbed his forehead.

“Master…”

Madam Lin’s eyes, brimming with tears, looked at Yan Zhigao with an expression of unspeakable misery and grievance.

Yan Zhigao sighed, “I had your servants confined to the house, only wishing that you would rest and recover, but look at what you’ve caused…”

Tears spilled from Madam Lin’s eyes as she sobbed, “I thought… I thought the master had grown tired of me, I was so afraid.”

Yan Zhigao sat by the bed and patted Madam Lin’s hand, “You’re overthinking it. Now, stop crying. Didn’t the doctor also say that you should recuperate well?” Saying so, he reached out to wipe away the tears on Madam Lin’s face.

Afterward, Yan Zhigao personally fed Madam Lin a bowl of chicken soup and chatted with her for a while before preparing to leave.

As he stood up, Madam Lin grabbed his sleeve.

“There’s a matter in the front yard that needs my attention; I’ll come to see you again in the evening,” Yan Zhigao said soothingly.

Madam Lin did not let go, her face showing hesitation and difficulty, yet it seemed she had no other choice, “Master, my health is ruined. I get terribly tired even sitting up for a little while, and I’m afraid I no longer have the energy to take care of our fifth daughter…”

Yan Zhigao’s brow immediately furrowed. If it weren’t for the fact that Madam Lin was injured, he would have wanted to shrug her off and leave, “Haven’t I told you? The old lady is advanced in age and doesn’t have the strength to take care of a newborn.”

Seeing the displeasure on Yan Zhigao’s face, Madam Lin hurriedly said, “I dare not trouble the old lady. Before, I was simply too out of line, only thinking that she might feel lonely and bored by herself, without thinking things through.”

Yan Zhigao frowned, “Then why are you holding on to me?”

Madam Lin’s eyes filled with tears again, “If it weren’t for my body failing me, I would take care of the fifth daughter no matter what.”

Had this been said in the past, Yan Zhigao might have believed her. But since the incident where Madam Lin wanted to send her newly born daughter to the old lady’s courtyard, his attitude had grown doubtful.

Seeing Yan Zhigao not responding, Madam Lin had no choice but to press on, “Properly speaking, the lady of the house is the rightful mother, and she should educate all the children. She’s kind-hearted, and that’s the only reason Wenbin and Yishuang can stay by my side. But now my health fails me, so I can only entrust the fifth daughter to her.”

Yan Zhigao twisted his brow but did not immediately respond.

“Master.” Seeing that Yan Zhigao remained silent, Madam Lin tugged at his sleeve again.

Yan Zhigao removed Madam Lin’s hand, simply said, “I know,” and left.

As soon as he departed, Yan Wenbin and Yan Yishuang came in, looking puzzled at Madam Lin.

“Mother, why do you wish to send our sister away?”

Madam Lin, impatiently glancing at the swaddled infant, gestured to Xiyun to take the child out, then began to speak, “Raising children is the duty of the legitimate mother.”

Yan Yishuang, “But the fifth sister is your daughter. If she’s sent to the madam, she won’t be close to us. Mother, please don’t send her away, alright?”

Madam Lin waved off her daughter’s hand impatiently, “Enough, children shouldn’t meddle in adult matters. I have my reasons for sending the fifth daughter to the madam. Now go out, I need to rest.”

Yan Yishuang still wanted to speak, but Yan Wenbin pulled her away.

Once her children had left, Madam Lin stared blankly at the canopy above her bed.

What she always wanted was a son, but she had borne a daughter instead. Raising another daughter provided no benefit to her; it was better to send her to the main courtyard to mollify the madam instead.

Upon hearing this, Lady Li immediately interrupted with a laugh, “And here I was wondering what it was. You seem so worried, my lord. After the doctor gave an update on Aunt Lin’s condition, I arranged for two nurses specialized in childcare to come to our residence.” _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
