Luo Shuiyao didn't care about Nanny Sang's concealment and just nodded slightly. Then she asked, "Did the foot bath medicine I gave Madam last time work?"
Nanny Sang nodded, her voice full of smiles: "Madam is grateful for your filial piety, and has always instructed me to provide it for her, without interruption."
Hearing this, Luo Shuiyao frowned tightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Madam Hou was suffering from a headache caused by evil wind entering her body. The medicine she prescribed was a warming medicine. If used every day, it would definitely relieve Madam's headache and might even cure it. But why is it not working at all now?
Although she thought so in her heart, she did not ask out loud, but just obediently followed Nanny Sang into the inner room.
In the inner room, Luo Shuiyao stepped forward and lifted the bed curtain, only to see the Marquis' wife leaning on the bed. After a careful observation, she saw that she was pale and listless, and it was obvious that she was suffering from the headache.
Seeing someone coming in, the Marquis's wife only raised her eyes slightly. When she saw it was Luo Shuiyao, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said, "Yaoyao, why are you here?"
Sitting next to the Marquis, he gently held her hand and touched it, only to find that it was icy cold. Luo Shuiyao tucked the quilt in for her: "Aunt, are you feeling better?"
The Marquis's wife shook her head slightly. "It's much better than last night. Now I just feel weak all over."
Luo Shuiyao looked at her in silence for a moment, then released the Marquis's wrist. Her furrowed brows relaxed, and she asked softly, "Aunt, can I untie that headband on your head?"
"Okay." Although the Marquis's wife was puzzled, she still nodded with difficulty.
Seeing that the lady agreed, Luo Shuiyao stepped forward and gently untied the headband on the lady's head. Her movements were extremely careful, as if she was afraid of hurting the lady.
Seeing Luo Shuiyao's thoughtfulness towards her own wife, Nanny Sang nodded in satisfaction. She thought to herself, "The more I see this cousin Luo, the more I like her. She's filial, polite, and law-abiding. She's much better than the ever-popular cousin Lu."
Luo Shuiyao naturally didn't know that Nanny Sang had been observing her movements from behind. After removing her headband, she carefully looked at the Marquis's forehead and saw a mark on it, which was obviously caused by wearing a headband for many years.
It seemed that the Marquis' wife had been wearing the headband for a long time. She took it off and put it aside, let the Marquis' wife lie flat, and gently pressed the acupoints on the top of her head.
Luo Shuiyao gently pressed the Baihui and Sishencong acupoints on the top of Madam Hou's head. Her fingers applied moderate pressure and kept a steady rhythm. After a full quarter of an hour, Madam Hou fell into a deep sleep.
Her sleeping face gradually became peaceful, as if she had temporarily forgotten the torment of the headache.
Nanny Sang was watching from the side and was quite surprised. You know, the lady had been crying in the first half of the night since the quarrel with the Marquis last night, and she had not been able to sleep from the second half of the night until now because of a headache. This made her feel very distressed.
I wanted to invite Doctor Hua last night, but was stopped by the Marquis's wife, so I didn't go until early this morning.
She knew that the lady was trying to make the Marquis feel bad, but the Marquis was also stubborn, and this time the lady had angered him. Apart from sending someone over, she hadn't even come to see him.
Seeing this, the lady was filled with sorrow and her headache became even worse. Nanny Sang was filled with worry and didn't know what to do.
The arrival of Miss Luo was able to allow Madam to have a peaceful sleep in just a short while. Madam Sang was extremely grateful for this.
Luo Shuiyao tucked in the corner of the quilt for Madam Hou, then turned to Madam Sang and whispered softly, "Madam, let's go out and talk."
Then he walked outside, and before leaving, he picked up the headband that the marquis's wife had just taken off.
After leaving the inner room, Nanny Sang carefully closed the door, and then led Luo Shuiyao to the reception room of Minghua Hall.
When the two arrived at the living room, the clever maid had already prepared tea and snacks.
Nanny Sang stepped forward and personally brewed a cup of tea for Luo Shuiyao, and brought it to Luo Shuiyao. Luo Shuiyao hurriedly declined, "Nanny, why are you so polite? You are my aunt's close friend, and you are also my elder. How can I ask you to do this?"
Nanny Sang was the most important person by the Marquis's side, handling all the affairs of the mansion for her on a daily basis. Even Ye Yunzhou and Ye Yunxing respected Nanny Sang very much.
How could Luo Shuiyao wait for Nanny Sang to serve her with peace of mind? She declined again, "Nanny, you absolutely can't do that. Please stop doing this. If you have something to say, just tell me directly."
Seeing that Luo Shuiyao had exposed her thoughts, Nanny Sang felt a little embarrassed and placed the tea in front of Luo Shuiyao. After a moment's deliberation, she spoke, "Miss, I have been with Madam since I was young. This headache has tormented Madam for decades. I know many massage techniques, but none can make Madam forget the pain of her headache like you did today."
Nanny Sang looked at Luo Shuiyao, her eyes filled with anticipation and a hint of embarrassment. "This servant just wanted to ask if you could teach me your massage method so that I can massage my wife more often."
Luo Shuiyao heard how Aunt Sang changed her words and called herself, raised her eyebrows slightly, and once again sighed that Aunt Sang was really a shrewd old woman.
Hearing that Nanny Sang mentioned this matter, Luo Shuiyao smiled nonchalantly, "Nanny, you don't have to be like this. I wanted to teach you this massage method anyway, so why should I ask you to be so polite?"
"Besides, I have received great favor from this Marquis' Mansion. What does a simple massage method mean to me?"
When Nanny Sang heard her say this, she carefully observed Luo Shuiyao's expression and saw that she really didn't look unhappy at all. She breathed a sigh of relief and her favor for Luo Shuiyao doubled. "Then I would like to thank you for your teaching, young lady."
Nanny Sang bowed respectfully to Luo Shuiyao, her eyes full of gratitude.
In the following time, one morning, Luo Shuiyao stayed in Minghua Hall.
She asked Sang to lie down so that she could carefully feel her massage techniques. Luo Shuiyao patiently explained the location of each acupoint and the strength and rhythm of the massage, while Sang concentrated on experiencing it.
Only after Nanny Sang had completely memorized everything did Luo Shuiyao stand up and say goodbye.
Before leaving, Luo Shuiyao asked for the jewel-studded headband from Madam Sang, saying frankly that she liked the pattern on it and wanted to study it and return it after a while.
Nanny Sang was grateful for her kindness and naturally responded to her request. She repeatedly said that she would tell her wife and give it to Luo Shuiyao if she liked it.
Luo Shuiyao did not argue about this, but just smiled, then said goodbye to Nanny Sang and walked towards Chunhua Courtyard.
Back at Chunhua Courtyard, Luo Shuiyao sat on her own couch and examined the headband carefully. She sniffed it closely, and her frown deepened.
