After the female supporting role is quickly put on, she is full of charm

Chapter 345: The Gentle-Looking Maid with a Serious Heart

Seeing Liu Leqing's sad look, Old Madam Chu did not show any mercy.

She looked at Liu Leqing calmly and said, "Isn't this a matter of time? As long as Ling Zhang gives birth to a child, she will become the second wife. As the principal wife, you are too stingy."

At the beginning, Liu Leqing did promise Madam Chu that if the original body gave birth to the child, she could become his concubine.

He also agreed to choose a good identity for her, so that she could become a concubine in a legitimate way.

But Liu Leqing didn't expect it to happen so quickly. She was a maid a few days ago, and now she is a concubine. She is going to become a lady before she even has a child.

Liu Leqing gritted his teeth and told himself not to get angry.

When the two were in a stalemate, Ah Zhi stood up and said softly to Old Madam Chu, "Grandma, calm down. Grandma is not in good health now."

"I know the old lady is doing this for my own good, but I don't want to see the old lady and the eldest grandmother hurt each other. There is no rush to discuss the matter of the second wife. It will be the same after I give birth to the child."

Liu Leqing didn't expect that Azhi didn't take the opportunity to climb up, which made her look at Azhi with a little suspicion.

At the same time, I suspected in my heart that Azhi had other purposes. He was willing to give up such a good opportunity and must be planning something bad in secret.

Seeing Liu Leqing's suspicious look towards Azhi, Old Madam Chu on the side became furious.

I had already guessed that Liu Leqing was making malicious assumptions about Azhi; that look in his eyes clearly showed that he was suspicious of something.

Madam Chu coughed lightly and said to Ah Zhi, "You are kind enough to think about others, but this is about the child in your belly. You have to think about yourself and think it through."

Now that Ahzhi is pregnant, she is the most popular girl in the family, so it is natural for Old Madam Chu to follow Ahzhi's wishes.

If Ah Zhi really wanted to consider the overall situation, Mrs. Chu would certainly not be able to say anything.

Ah Zhi glanced at Liu Leqing beside her, bit her lip and nodded, "It is already a blessing for me to be able to give birth to your children. As for the matter about the second wife, please let me give birth to the child first."

Seeing Ahzhi's sensible appearance, Liu Leqing almost bit his teeth.

But at the same time, she felt relieved, at least she wouldn't become a laughing stock for the time being.

Liu Leqing's gaze swept across Azhi's flat belly, and there was a flash of fierceness in his eyes.

I have a way to prevent this bitch from becoming the second wife. Even if this bitch has the chance to get pregnant and give birth to a child, she may not be lucky enough to become the second wife.

Liu Leqing forced a smile and looked at Ah Zhi and said, "Sister is very considerate, so I will certainly not treat her unfairly."

Who wouldn’t say such nice words?

Madam Chu chuckled and said pointedly, "Everyone can say nice words, but who would believe them if they don't see the substance?"

"I happen to be here today. If you have anything good, just give it to me in front of me. Last time I heard that the fabric you gave me was old-fashioned, and Ling Zhang is too young to handle it. Why don't you give me something better today?"

This old lady Chu was really shameless. In front of Liu Leqing and Azhi, she started to ask Liu Leqing for things.

Liu Leqing had a very forced smile on his face, and of course he didn't want to give the good things to Azhi.

She clutched the handkerchief in her hand and gritted her teeth and said, "My daughter-in-law still has to go back to her parents' home to visit my brother, sister-in-law and nephews. Time is too tight. It's better to wait for my daughter-in-law to come back and then pack it up and send it to my sister."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Azhi, as if waiting for Azhi to be more sensible so that she could reject her now and not spend money on him.

How could Mrs. Chu not know Liu Leqing's little thoughts? This time she didn't give Azhi a chance to speak.

She pulled Ah Zhi to sit down, then turned to Liu Leqing and said, "How much time can this delay? You have to stay for a few days when you return to your parents' home this time? You should arrange the things that need to be arranged before leaving."

It seems that Madam Chu is not going to give Liu Leqing a chance to escape.

Whatever Ah Zhi wanted to say was pinched by Old Madam Chu.

The meaning is very clear. Azhi is not allowed to speak and refuse Liu Leqing. Liu Leqing must be made to bleed today.

Although Ahzhi appeared to be well-behaved and obedient on the surface, she was actually already beaming with joy in her heart.

Seeing Liu Leqing's frustrated look, I felt so happy.

It is still the best way to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Liu Leqing has no way to resist the knife of Old Lady Chu.

Madam Chu had already said so much, there was no way Liu Leqing could refuse.

Looking at Azhi who was standing there motionless, Liu Leqing was extremely angry.

It is true that only silent dogs bite. I made a mouthful of blood without making any sound.

Liu Leqing pretended to be virtuous and said, "My sister's pregnancy is indeed a big deal. Husband and wife should complement each other."

I originally wanted to find something to get rid of Old Madam Chu, but I didn't expect this old woman to be so cunning.

She personally followed Liu Leqing to the storehouse, where she selected two headpieces and a pair of jade bracelets, as well as the fine silk that Liu Leqing had recently obtained, and took them away.

Seeing that all Madam Chu had chosen were good things, Liu Leqing was so anxious that his eyes widened.

She had intended to keep the cloth for herself to make clothes, and she was reluctant to waste even a bit of it. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chu gave it directly to Azhi.

This made Liu Leqing almost fall down while holding his chest. He was already in poor health and this anger almost made him pass out.

Looking at Liusu holding something beside Azhi, Liu Leqing couldn't help but grit his teeth and pretend to be virtuous and generous.

Chunhua clearly felt that Liu Leqing's arms were trembling. He was really angry.

"As long as my sister likes it, mother, I have already given her what I should give her, and my daughter-in-law is in a hurry to go back to her parents' home..."

"Okay, if you're in a hurry, don't delay. You should go back and take a look. I'll take Ling Zhang back right away."

Before Liu Leqing could finish his words, Old Madam Chu hurried to leave.

Seeing Old Madam Chu turning around and leaving with Ah Zhi, Liu Leqing was so angry that he felt dizzy.

Chunhua supported her and asked quickly, "Grandma, are you okay? Do you want me to ask a doctor to come and see you?"

Liu Leqing's face was as pale as paper, but he thought that seeing a doctor would delay his return home.

She took a deep breath and shook her head towards Chunhua, saying, "It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy. I'll be fine after a short rest. Has the carriage been arranged?"

He had to go back for help, so of course Liu Leqing was in a hurry to go back.

Long before Liu Leqing proposed to go back, Chunhua had already cleaned up his hands and feet and would never let others find any clues.

Chen did have an iron fist, but she couldn't reach the Chu family.

Chunhua's actions were sinister but extremely careful.

"Don't worry, Madam. I have already made all the arrangements."

"Okay, help me walk."

"Yes."

The Liu family is still some distance away from the Chu family. Along the way, Liu Leqing felt hot and cold at times, and his body was indescribably fragile. Chunhua served him wholeheartedly.

When the carriage stopped, Liu Leqing coughed. Chen, who had been waiting outside the Liu Mansion, raised her eyebrows slightly.

She naturally heard Liu Leqing's heart-wrenching cough.

I didn't expect that my sister-in-law would be so sick.

When Liu Leqing appeared in front of Chen, Chen was frightened by the sickly Liu Leqing.

The last time Liu Leqing came back was during the Chinese New Year.

At that time, Liu Leqing and Chu Yunzhi came back together. Although they had no children, they seemed to have a very good relationship.

They were so intimate that Chen was really envious.

Unexpectedly, Liu Leqing looked so thin when he came back this time. Liu Leqing was extremely dissatisfied with Chen's behavior of putting people around Chu Yunzhi.

She even deliberately avoided communicating with her parents' family in private, and complained countless times about Chen's meddling.

However, we still have to observe etiquette during festivals, and it is appropriate to bring your husband back to your parents' home to pay New Year's greetings.

Even if your parents have passed away, you still have to wish your brother and sister-in-law a happy new year.

Chen supported Liu Leqing and said in disbelief, "What happened to you? Why do you look so haggard? Did you suffer any injustice in the Chu family?"

Originally Liu Leqing wanted to pretend to be strong, but now facing Chen's questioning, no matter how many complaints she had against Chen in the past.

At this moment, Liu Leqing couldn't stop crying. In order to avoid being seen by people outside, Chen hurriedly helped Liu Leqing into the yard.

At this time, Liu Leqing began to tell Chen's story.

"Sister-in-law, I have such a hard life. It's so hard."

Hearing Liu Leqing's crying, Chen couldn't help but smack her lips.

I didn’t expect that my strong sister-in-law could be so weak.

When Liu Leqing was a child, he was raised as a boy. This made Liu Leqing much better than others, and he had to eat and drink the best in the mansion.

Even when Chen was praised as the new bride, Liu Leqing still acted like a spoiled brat, thinking that Chen was stealing his limelight.

However, Chen was an easy-going person and did not show any dissatisfaction with Liu Leqing's unreasonable behavior.

After taking over the management of the Liu family, Chen wanted to straighten out Liu Leqing and help her get rid of her bad habits.

But Liu Leqing was a stubborn girl, which really gave Chen a headache.

Even though Liu Leqing was not completely brought back to his senses, he was no longer as unbridled as before.

It must be a huge matter to make my sister-in-law feel so wronged.

When she heard that Madam Chu had given Chu Yunzhi a concubine who was pregnant, Chen said with great regret.

"It's been ten years. You should have taken a concubine long ago. I advised you in the early years that it's better to gain a good reputation. Taking a concubine voluntarily and being forced to take a concubine are completely different. Taking a concubine voluntarily means you have planted someone in your position, and you have the upper hand."

"This passive concubine is what others like, and it's hard to control. At the beginning, I kindly let my cousin go in to help you, but I didn't expect you to be ungrateful and blame me for meddling. Do you know how powerful it is now?"

The first thing Chen did after marrying into the Liu family was to take in a concubine and promote her own maid who came with her dowry.

This maidservant who came with the dowry was beautiful and gentle. Long before Chen got married, Liu Leqing's brother already had a concubine.

Chen was not impatient and sent the beautiful maid who came with the dowry to take action. Soon the concubine fell out of favor.

This maidservant who came with the dowry knew how to win the hearts of men over the years, but she had never given birth to a child. Only Chen gave birth to three sons in a row, consolidating her position.

Liu Leqing wiped her tears and said aggrievedly, "I thought Chu Yunzhi was different from other men, but I didn't expect him to change. Sister-in-law, what should I do? What should I do? I really can't accept it."

Thinking of how good Chu Yunzhi was to Azhi, Liu Leqing couldn't help but show jealousy in his eyes.

Chen was a little frightened watching from the side, and at the same time felt that Liu Leqing was too stupid. He had played a good hand of cards badly.

If Liu Leqing had listened to me and let my cousin come into the house to give birth to the child, things wouldn't have come to this.

All Madam Chu wanted was a grandson, but Liu Leqing had been occupying Chu Yunzhi for ten years without having a child.

If she were in Madam Chu's position, Chen might be even more ruthless than Madam Chu.

Liu Leqing was considered lucky, but looking at the indignation on Liu Leqing's face, Chen guessed that she would not think that what she did was wrong.

"Okay, why are you complaining? Ten years of harmonious relationship is good enough. Who told you not to listen to me?"

Liu Leqing lay on the table and cried with a look of grievance on her face, while Chunhua beside her was full of worry.

At this time, Chen noticed that someone was missing. She couldn't help but ask Chunhua, "What's going on? Why isn't Qiurong with you? Has she been betrothed?"

Chunhua's face flushed and she was speechless. Liu Leqing, who was still crying, stopped.

She just looked up and said to Chen, "Qiu Rong died of illness."

"What? Qiu Rong died of illness? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Chen's reaction was particularly big, which made Liu Leqing feel a little guilty.

"She was just a maid. She died of illness. She died before she could make it."

"Confused!"

Chen slammed the table and scolded, "Tell me the truth, how did Qiu Rong die? Don't try to lie to me. You should know that Qiu Rong has always been in good health."

Qiu Rong was arranged by Chen to be by Liu Leqing's side. Chen had arranged her to serve Liu Leqing because she was attracted by Qiu Rong's intelligence and steadiness.

I didn't expect that such a living person would die. The death of a maid is really nothing.

But if things are not done perfectly, the impact will be great. If things go wrong, you will even be branded as someone who abuses the maids.

Liu Leqing was shocked and confused by Chen's reaction.

She frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "Sister-in-law, you are making too much of a fuss. She is just a maid. I was so angry that I kicked her. I asked a doctor to treat her, but she still didn't make it..."

"What did you say?"

Chen was so shocked that the handkerchief in her hand dropped. She didn't expect that Qiu Rong's death was directly related to Liu Leqing.

"You kicked someone to death? How could you be so powerful? You kicked a living person to death just like that?"
