The servants thought that they had to find someone to go in and comfort Miss Luo. In the end, they unanimously agreed to let a little girl called Ben Yue to do the job.
Ben Yue was the daughter of a poor family that Gao Yang saved from a bully back then. If not for Gao Yang’s help, Ben Yue would have been sold to a brothel. After entering the Gao mansion, she became a maid. Ben Yue was very smart and had a glib tongue.
Everyone called Shen Yue over and asked her to quickly persuade Luo Tan to eat something.
Luo Tan was sitting in the room and crying silently when she saw someone push the door open and enter. A little girl entered with a food basket in her hand. As she placed the food basket on the table, she opened it and brought out some dishes.
The food was fragrant, but how could Luo Tan have an appetite to eat it now? She said, “Go out. I don’t want to eat.”
“Miss, don’t torture yourself. Your health is the most important thing. If you don’t eat, you’ll fall sick easily. If you fall sick, Princess Consort Rui will feel terrible,” Ben Yue said.
Luo Tan shook her head. “I can’t eat.”
“Miss, why do you have to be so hard on yourself? Although His Highness Prince Rui is in danger, we all believe that he will be fine in the end. It’s said that after surviving a calamity, one will be blessed. I think he will be blessed in the future.” Ben Yue continued to comfort her.
Luo Tan smiled bitterly. “Everyone knows how to say good words, but good words can cure the sick. If good words can, what’s the point of having a doctor in the world? No matter how nice your words are now, it’s useless.”
Ben Yue said, “Miss, it’s better to say something positive than negative. It’s not a bad thing to hope that Prince Rui will get better.”
“You’re right.” Luo Tan said, “It’s just that the situation is critical now. I can’t relax. Don’t try to persuade me, because it won’t enter my ears. Even if I force myself to listen, in my heart,” she pointed at her chest, “I can’t do it.”
Ben Yue thought for a moment. This was the first time she was at her wits’ end. She racked her brains for a long time and seemed to have thought of something to comfort Luo Tan. She said, “Actually, His Highness might not be in so much danger. It’s not even ten days yet. I have a little brother who fell sick when he was only three years old. Everyone said that he would not live for more than three days. At that time, Young Master Gao checked him and said that he would definitely die in three days. Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to meet an expert. He said that he had a way to change my brother’s fate, so I brought my brother to look for that expert. Three days later, guess what?”
Ben Yue recounted the story like a seasoned storyteller. Luo Tan could not help but be attracted by the story and continued to ask, “What happened after that?”
Ben Yue clapped her hands. “My brother is alive! Not only is he alive, but he’s even healthier than before.”
Luo Tan was stunned and asked, “How did this happen?”
