[TL Note: Hi, everyone! Two novels of mine are getting very low views, so I"m thinking of taking up something new. This novel is written by an author I really like, so I"m giving it a go. Depending on the views, likes, and support, I may consider translating this regularly. Let me know what you think! :D]
"First Xiaojie [young miss, lady], I heard those people are sick these few days……" Fang Momo [elderly lady, wet nurse] was afraid of waking First Shaoye [young lord, master] so she lowered her voice.
"Oh?" Ouyang Nuan knew that Li Yuee was not just beautiful with no substance. Since she married, Ouyang Zhi was only at Nee Lin"s from 5 to 7 a.m. He liked spending the rest of the time at Li Yiniang"s [father"s concubine]. It seemed like this concubine irritated Nee Lin a lot.
Early in the morning, Ouyang Nuan went to pay respects to Nee Li according to etiquette. This time Nee Li warmly invited Ouyang Nuan to sit on the bed next to her. Then they waited for everyone to come pay their respects. Soon after, Ouyang Zhi brought the new bride, Li Yiniang over. Nee Lin and Ouyang Ke did not come. They were sick.
Nee Li"s face changed. She said gloomily, "Mother and daughter are sick at the same time? Is it a contagious disease?"
"I"ve sent someone to invite a doctor over. I hope it"s nothing," Ouyang Zhi said worriedly.
Nee Li looked coldly at her son and suddenly said, "Go over there and take a look yourself. Mother and daughter live close to each other so they would be easily infected." He only married a yiniang, but she dared to give her mother-in-law an att.i.tude. It really was a story for the ages.
Li Yiniang was startled, but her face showed worry over her mother-in-law getting ill. Her heart was very happy that Laotaitai [old furen, in this case Nee Li] was showing Nee Lin who was boss. She hurriedly said, "Laotaitai is right. Since Furen [(married) madam, lady, in this case, Nee Li] and Second Xiaojie [Ouyang Ke] are both sick, Laoye [master, lord, in this case, Ouyang Zhi] should go see them."
Ouyang Nuan lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes hid the smile in her eyes. A few days ago it was "paternal aunt." Now, it was "Laotaitai." It seemed like this Li Yiniang was very adaptable to her new ident.i.ty and changed very quickly.
Nee Li glanced lightly at Li Yiniang. She lowered her head to sip tea and didn"t speak on this subject anymore.
Ouyang Nuan smiled as she paid her respects to Ouyang Zhi and chatted with Li Yiniang. She asked Li Yiniang how she felt moving from Laotaitai"s courtyard into her own courtyard. Zhang Mama [elderly nanny, maidservant] also jested. After everyone said something harmonious, paying respects was over.
Nee Li kept Ouyang Nuan behind after Ouyang Zhi left with Li Yiniang. She suddenly asked, "Nuan"er, do you think your mother and meimei [literally: younger sister, can be used to denote familiarity] are really sick?"
