Noticing that Lorraine was wearing clothes that were incompatible with this place, they both paused.

Although the middle-aged woman was a little surprised, she didn't feel too strange. On the contrary, it was the little girl who immediately hid behind the woman.

"You are?" The middle-aged woman walked over and opened the wooden door.

She recognized at a glance that the child in front of her should be the heir of a certain nobleman.

But why would a noble heir suddenly come to a place like this?

"How should I put it?" Lorraine said, "I know Miss Xueni, and I heard that you took care of her before."

Hearing the familiar name, Jie Ting said, "That's right."

"I want to come and know something about Miss Xueni from you."

"Oh, that's it. Please come in." Jieting hurriedly turned her body to let Lorraine walk in.

After following Jie Ting into the house and sitting on the creaking wooden chair, Lorraine looked around.

The house is full of all kinds of things needed for life, but with the hostess tidying up, everything looks orderly and doesn't make people feel messy.

Feeling the gazes around him, Lorraine realized that besides the little girl, there was a little boy and a little girl in the house.

The age of the two looks about the same as the current Lorraine.

They looked at Lorraine's eyes, apart from fear, there was also a touch of curiosity.

Jieting poured a cup of dark tea, placed it beside Lorraine, and said apologetically, "There is nothing to entertain you."

"it's okay no problem."

Lorraine was not here to be entertained, but to ask for help.

"By the way, you just mentioned Miss Xueni, what happened to her?"

After Jieting resigned from her job as a maid in Gretel's house, she never saw Xueni again.

Lorraine thought for a moment and told Xueni the general situation that night.

"Miss Xueni has been in that situation again. After so many years, I thought she was completely healed."

It should be good, but because of this incident, it happened again.

"I want to know how you took care of her at that time."

Jie Ting suddenly realized, "So you are here to ask this, please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, Jieting walked towards the inner room, as if to find something.

During this process, Lorraine looked at the three children who were afraid to approach, and smiled at them, trying to make them let down their vigilance a little.

But unexpectedly, seeing Lorraine's smile, the two younger children hid behind the little girl just now.

And the expression on the little girl's face was also tense.

This made Lorraine not know whether to laugh or cry.

Now in their eyes, he should be regarded as a strange stranger.

After a while, Jieting came out again, holding a piece of yellowed paper in her hand.

"This is?" Lorraine looked at the paper on the table, with some names written on it that she had never seen before.

"This is a prescription. If Miss Xueni is still panicked after talking nonsense, boil water with the contents above and let her drink it, and she will calm down soon."

Jieting was not originally from the capital, but lived in a village outside.

Her father had seen a doctor before, and also encountered Xue Ni's situation, so he sorted out this, which can play a slightly regulating role.

And the above stuff is easy to buy.

"When I left, Miss Xueni would no longer have that kind of situation, so I forgot to leave it to others at that time."

"thank you very much."

Lorraine did not expect that the process was much smoother than he imagined.

Jieting looked at Lorraine carefully, as if she wanted to see something from his face, and said, "It's convenient to ask, what is your relationship with Miss Xueni? Is it her child?"

"Uh...cough cough cough."

Lorraine, who wanted to read the paper again, was choked by Jieting's sudden words, and couldn't help coughing a few times.

Lorraine was glad that she had not prepared to drink tea, otherwise it would have been embarrassing at this moment.

Chapter 47

about childhood

Before Lorraine could answer, Jieting shook her head, denying her conjecture.

"That's not right, even if Miss Xueni has a child, it's impossible for her to be this old."

Although she hasn't seen Xueni for a long time, but now that she is mentioned, Jieting can roughly know what age Xueni is now.

It is completely impossible to have such a big heir.

Moreover, the Lorraine in front of her was overly mature in both behavior and tone, which made Jie Ting feel a little strange.

His eldest daughter is not as mature as him.

"It's like this." Lorraine, who had recovered, still kept smiling.

This is the first time he is regarded as Xueni's child, but it is understandable that Jieting does not know the current situation of him and Xueni.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Realizing her impoliteness, Jieting quickly apologized, "I asked a question that shouldn't be asked."

I haven't worked in the noble's mansion for too long, and I have forgotten many things to pay attention to.

"It's okay." Lorraine said, "I'm just curious why you suddenly think so."

My current appearance should not be very similar to Xueni's appearance when she was a child.

Speaking of this, Jie Ting sighed, "Because I remember that Miss Xue Ni had no playmates when she was a child, and Master Lilaya didn't get along well with her. She had always stayed in the room alone, and now suddenly there was someone You are so considerate of her, and you are still like this, so I can’t help but think about it.”

Lorraine nodded, agreeing with Jie Ting's words, even now, Xue Ni is like this.

Rather, what she retains now is the memory of that time.

"How is Miss Xueni doing now?" Jie Ting asked.

"It should be pretty good."

If it didn't happen suddenly this time.

"That's good." Jieting didn't know how to describe her current mood.

With Xueni's status, no matter what happens, she will not live too badly, but Jieting still feels that she will subconsciously feel happy knowing that the child she has taken care of before is doing well.

Perhaps this is a manifestation of motherhood.

Looking at the paper still on the table, Jieting paused and said, "By the way, don't let Miss Xueni get too attached to certain things, and you can properly distract her. It should be of some help.”

"Is there such a way?"

It is true that Xueni is easy to get attached to something, but Lorraine has never connected it with Xueni talking nonsense.

"As you probably know, Miss Xueni's temperament is a bit paranoid, and her father often compares the outstanding performance of other noble children with her and reprimands her."

Jieting recalled certain scenes, with a bit of bitterness on her face.

"This caused Miss Xueni to be very obsessed with these things, but even though she worked very hard, her father still..."

Jieting is not working at Gretel's house now, but in her capacity, it's hard to comment too much.

These are only after I have children, I know a little bit.

It is not a bad thing that parents have demands on their children, but if it is just blindly comparing and reprimanding without any praise, even if the child has a strong heart, there will be problems sooner or later.

Now that I think about it, Xue Ni's temper was probably caused at that time.

"I remember that when I went to see if Miss Xueni had put on the quilt in the middle of the night, I would occasionally encounter her being woken up by a nightmare. She told me that it was a dream about herself being reprimanded."

Lorraine didn't speak, just sat there listening to Jieting.

To learn about Xueni when he was a child is also the purpose of his coming here this time.

"Maybe it's because she has been obsessed with these things, so those emotions were suddenly amplified when she was sick and weak, which made her talk nonsense."

When this happened to Xue Ni for the first time, the other maids were frightened by her.

It seems that he also knows that this will cause trouble to others, so after Xueni got sick, he tried his best to restrain himself from thinking about things, and then he slowly controlled it.

Although this is a good thing, it is also something that makes Jie Ting feel more distressed when she thinks about it now.

After listening to Jie Ting's words, Lorraine remained silent.

That night, after Xue Ni woke up, she said that there were many things pressing on her, and those things were all kinds of negative emotions.

She didn't know why there were those, but she was still very scared.

In the past, the less she was recognized, the more she wanted to be recognized by others.

But even if she worked hard, she still couldn't get these, which forced her to continue.

In terms of performance, with her hard support, others can't see anything abnormal, but those invisible oppressions have been entrenched in the depths, waiting for the corresponding time to erupt.

Belief and praise should be the reliever against stress in the human spiritual world.

But Xueni is extremely lacking in these, which is why she cares so much when Lorraine unintentionally does those behaviors that believe and praise her.

Seeing that Lorraine has not spoken, Jie Ting is a little worried that she said something wrong, and looks a little nervous.

After recovering, Lorraine understood the meaning of Jie Ting's words.

The person who thinks so much about Xueni is still a child, and it is indeed possible that he will be her heir.

It's just that even Xue Ni may not know, there is someone who remembers her childhood.

Finally, Lorraine smiled with relief, "Thank you for telling me so much about Xueni."

Jie Ting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're welcome. Seeing that you care so much about Miss Xueni, you just need to ask her and she will tell you."

"It doesn't have to be." Lorraine shook his head.

Let alone whether Xue Ni would choose not to tell him because he was afraid that he would be worried, Lorraine himself didn't know where to ask.

Seeing that it was still early, Lorraine asked Jie Ting to tell some more things about Xueni's childhood.

However, because the time interval was too long, Jieting didn't remember too clearly, so she could only talk to Lorraine about it.

After the matter was finished, Lorraine looked at the paper in his hand, and then remembered that he seemed to have nothing to repay Jieting.

And now that I am a child, I don’t have any money with me.

After thinking for a while, Lorraine revealed the location of her mansion and said, "If you encounter problems in the future, you can come here to find me and just say you know me."

Jieting murmured the location of Lorraine's mansion, knowing that Lorraine wanted to repay her.

She didn't know Lorraine's identity, but she just guessed that he was the heir of a certain noble and had a deep relationship with Xueni.

But this seemingly simple sentence contains many things for a commoner.

"Aren't you going to sit for a while longer?" Jie Ting saw Lorraine was about to leave, and stood up to persuade her to stay.

"I'll visit again next time I have time," Lorraine said.

Although I told Xueni that she would go back at night, but if she went back too late, I don't know if she would complain.

Moreover, because of her own interruption, Jie Ting only received him and could not do other things, which made Lorraine feel a little sorry.

"Well, you can come again when you have time."

Jie Ting didn't know that Lorraine was a child of that aristocratic family, and she didn't feel a trace of the airs that a noble should have in him.

It was something she hadn't even seen in Liraya's childhood, and it felt very close.
