 Chapter 252: 

Success on the First Try

While thinking about the farce of that day and with the help of his daughter, Murong Zhe, after a simple examination, furrowed his brows and said, "It should be due to excessive fright. Judging by her complexion these past few days, it seems she hasn't been eating well. She might have some malnutrition, leading to a lack of physical strength, which caused the high fever. I happen to have some medicine here. Boil it and let her drink it for a couple of days, and then give her some nutritious food. She should recover."

Murong Lingran nodded. "Father, tell me where the medicine is. I'll go and prepare it for her."

"Alright, come with me."

When Murong Qing woke up, she realized she was in an unfamiliar room.

Murong Lingran came in with food just in time. Seeing that she had finally awakened after sleeping for a day, he smiled and said, "A'Qing, are you hungry? Drinking this lean meat porridge will make you feel better."

Murong Qing quickly sat up from the bed, took the lean meat porridge from her hand, and her expression became complicated. "Cousin, I've heard about it. My father treated you like that, I... I don't deserve your kindness."

Murong Lingran raised an eyebrow, acknowledging that she had a conscience. She didn't waste her entire day taking care of her for nothing. "If you feel uneasy, just work harder when your body is better. That would be enough for me."

Murong Qing hesitated, "Cousin, I wanted to tell you, I am sorry for my father, for what he did to you. I... I want to continue working for your family, but I won't take any wages. I want to compensate you on behalf of my father. Is that okay?"

Murong Lingran smiled appreciatively. Their family didn't misjudge A'Qing. "A'Qing, don't overthink. You are you, and your father is your father. As long as you stay pure, I will always be your sister, and Father will always be your uncle."

Tears filled Murong Qing's eyes, and she was deeply moved. "Sister, you're so good. You're even better than my real sister."

"Alright, since you feel I'm treating you well, take good care of your health. And don't think about not taking wages. If you don't take wages, how will you save your private money? If you want to repay us, in the future, if Grandmother tries anything against our family, find a way to inform us so we can prepare in advance."

Murong Qing's eyes brightened suddenly. Yes, she could secretly help Uncle's family and inform them about Grandmother's actions. Excitedly nodding, she said, "Okay, thank you, cousin."

"Alright, drink the porridge quickly."

"Okay."

By now, the sky had completely darkened. Murong Qing had been fed medicine twice while unconscious, and the fever had subsided. After drinking the porridge, she felt much better.

Although Murong Zong had gone during the day to inform them of her situation and assured them that her wages wouldn't be deducted, Madam Liu had still allowed her to rest for the day. However, Murong Qing was worried that returning late would lead to scolding, so after drinking the porridge, she insisted on going back.

Murong Lingran knew that keeping her was detrimental to her. Since she was determined to leave, she didn't force her. She handed her the medicinal herbs that her father had prepared for her, told her to decoct the medicine and drink it for two more days, and let her go.

Life returned to its usual routine. Under Murong Lingran's persistent efforts, she finally succeeded in making her low-gluten flour, also known as cake flour.

Since they didn't have an oven or a baking stove at home, she used the method from the book. This time, she steamed it in a pot.

Perhaps she truly had a talent for cooking, or maybe the heavens had been helping her all along, allowing her to succeed on the first try.

Murong Zhe watched as his daughter made the cake. He never expected that something so delicious last time would be so troublesome.

Murong Lingran took a good look at the round cake. It looked pretty good on the outside, but she wondered about the taste.
