Ning Cui feared she would overthink things and bring unnecessary gloom, so she hurriedly placed the food box on the outer room table, saying, "You don't need the little maids to serve you; Old Madam and the three of us can't be at ease. Ning Xiang was supposed to bring you food, but there's the soup and medicine she shouldn't deliver. She's too young and might reveal something. Old Madam has someone else make a blood swallow and red date porridge for you. Drink it while it's hot!"
Susu got out of bed. There were eight dishes and two soups on the table; it seemed Ning Cui had brought her own portion of food over.
