Chapter 1356: Touched (4)
"The night grew thicker, and the vast Dong Residence fell quiet, save for the occasional footsteps of servants on night duty.
In Qingqiu Pavilion.
Dong Ruoqiu had not woken up yet, but her breathing was much steadier than before.
All of the servants who used to attend to Dong Ruoqiu had been sold, and now, Ding Mei and Lamei, who were personal maids from the Ya Family, were assigned to care for her, along with the Ya Family’s wet nurse, Peng Family, who had also been dispatched to her daughter’s side and was now the manager of Qingqiu Pavilion.

Manager Peng Family sighed, "Son-in-law, your arm is still injured, go back to sleep. If the miss wakes up, the servants will immediately notify the son-in-law..."
