Gu Shengyin instructed Ming Que to keep a watchful eye on Cheng Lingyu's courtyard.
Although Ming Que did not understand why her mistress wanted her to monitor the Fifth Miss and especially to ensure she didn't come to any harm, she dared not question her mistress's orders and simply complied.
Gu Shengyin observed that on that day, Cheng Lingyu did not fall into the water and naturally, she did not catch a cold. The next day, Cheng Lingyu was still the healthy Cheng Lingyu.
On the third day, it rained, and as Cheng Lingyu stepped out of her room, she slipped. Just as she was about to fall, Ming Que, hidden in the shadows, quickly directed a surge of hidden energy toward Cheng Lingyu, steadying her staggering frame.
Nothing happened on the fourth day, nor on the fifth day.
The sixth day was the Old Madam's birthday.
