Chapter 335: The Gentle-Looking Maid with a Serious Heart
Ever since Ahzhi got scalded, Chu Yunzhi felt that Liu Leqing had become unusually strange, and he didn't even want to look at her anymore.
Facing Chu Yunzhi's cold question, Liu Leqing turned her gaze to Azhi beside her with red eyes.
"I know very well that I failed to manage the main courtyard properly, which led to that careless maid scalding Sister Lingzhang. I came here to apologize to Sister Lingzhang."
She waved her hand to signal the maids to bring the things forward, and there was a dazzling array of silks, satins, gold and silver jewelry, and other items.
Liu Leqing really put a lot of effort into pleasing Chu Yunzhi.
Azhi wanted to stand up and salute Liu Leqing, but Chu Yunzhi held her wrist tightly and stopped her.
However, she looked at the gifts sent by Liu Leqing, with a look of helplessness on her face, and said softly, "Thank you, Grandma, but I don't want to receive gifts without any merit, so I really don't dare to accept these things."
Liu Leqing forced a smile and nodded.
"Sister Lingzhang, you should accept all of them. After all, it was the maid in my courtyard who hurt you."
If it weren't for Liu Leqing's signal, how could the maid in the main courtyard dare to bring boiling hot tea on her own?
Such words were just excuses made by Liu Leqing.
Chu Yunzhi frowned slightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, he felt that Azhi was too easily fooled and would become happy just because others gave her some small gifts.
The purpose of Liu Leqing's visit this time was to make Chu Yunzhi change his mind and come back to him.
But she never expected that the other party didn't even give her a spare glance.
At this moment, Liu Leqing knew that she had said too many wrong things, so she could only shed tears silently and said in a sobbing voice, "I know I made a big mistake. When I greeted my mother these days, I kept thinking about how to make up for my mistakes."
"Master, I hope to take Lingzhang's sister into the mansion as a concubine, and then hold a grand banquet to entertain guests and make it a lively occasion."
All this was originally the credit of Old Madam Chu, but Liu Leqing shamelessly attributed it to himself.
You should know that when taking a concubine of low status, usually there is no banquet to celebrate, only when taking a concubine of good status will a banquet be held with great fanfare.
Chu Yunzhi looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect Liu Leqing to be so aware.
At this moment, Liu Leqing hoped that Chu Yunzhi would refuse outright.
Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed. Chu Yunzhi nodded and said, "Okay, let's do everything as you said."
Liu Leqing nodded with a stiff expression, then picked up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
"I have already discussed this matter with my husband, so I will take my leave now."
"Ah."
Ah Zhi didn't expect that Liu Leqing was such a good actor, but the audience didn't quite buy it. Chu Yunzhi still lowered his head and concentrated on applying medicine to himself.
This made Ah Zhi curious and asked, "Why didn't you comfort Grandma? I saw Grandma was crying."
Chu Yunzhi looked up and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"You are such a heartless person. If I go to comfort her, who will apply medicine and bandage your wounds? Okay, she always cries so much. She will be fine in two days."
Do you really think Chu Yunzhi is still as easy to please as he was when he was young?
He did have feelings for Liu Leqing as they had been married for ten years, but he also understood that right and wrong must be distinguished.
When Liu Leqing took the initiative to leave and returned to the main courtyard, he immediately got angry and smashed everything in the room.
Chunhua stood by and did not say anything to dissuade him, because she knew that Liu Leqing was very emotional at the moment and any advice would be futile.
Watching Liu Leqing venting his anger, Chunhua knew that he could only wait for Liu Leqing to calm down.
At this moment, a little maid suddenly ran to Chunhua in panic.
Seeing this, Chunhua frowned and scolded in a low voice, "Why are you running around like this? Grandma is in a bad mood now, so watch your own skin."
The little maid knew that although Chunhua spoke harshly to them on the surface, she was actually a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
She was always mean to the maids, but in fact she was reminding them not to make mistakes.
Now Liu Leqing is full of righteousness in her heart. If she sees the little maid behaving so recklessly, the little maid will definitely be punished.
That's why Chunhua specifically reminded her.
The little maid looked at Liu Leqing cautiously.
Then she turned to Chunhua and said worriedly, "Sister Chunhua, go check on Sister Qiurong. Sister Qiurong has been coughing since she woke up this morning. Even the medicine she took is useless. Sister Qiurong is coughing up blood. We have no idea what to do."
When Chunhua heard that Qiu Rong was in trouble, the indifference on his face disappeared instantly.
She grabbed the little maid and asked loudly, "What's going on? Why are you vomiting blood for no reason? You didn't vomit blood yesterday, why did you start vomiting blood again today?"
The doctor said that Qiu Rong vomited blood because of internal injuries. Now she can only take medicine and recuperate slowly. If she doesn't vomit blood, she still has a chance of survival.
When Chunhua went to see Qiurong yesterday, Qiurong was already much better. She no longer vomited blood and looked more energetic. Unexpectedly, she started vomiting blood again today.
The little maid was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Sister Qiu Rong vomited a lot of blood..."
If you vomit a lot of blood, it is very likely that something is wrong.
Chunhua didn't dare to think about how sad she would feel if Qiurong was gone.
At this time, Liu Leqing was tired of venting his emotions and was sitting on the couch, stroking his chest and breathing heavily.
"A child will always be a child. Why can't I give birth to one? Is this retribution?"
Liu Leqing instructed the maid beside her, "Go and see if the medicine boiled in the kitchen has taken effect. Why is there no action after so long?"
Privately, Liu Leqing took pregnancy-maintaining medicine every day, but still failed to conceive.
"Yes, I will go and urge them right away."
Seeing that Liu Leqing seemed to have calmed down a little, Chunhua gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Liu Leqing.
"Grandma, please save Qiu Rong, she is dying."
Listening to Chunhua's crying voice and her pretty face with tears on it, she looked so pitiful.
Chunhua felt indescribably fragile at this moment, but she hated seeing women in this state the most.
Liu Leqing narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Why are you crying? Isn't Qiu Rong recovering outside the mansion? How could she suddenly become ill?"
"Qiu Rong is indeed recovering outside the mansion, but the doctor I hired is not very good at medicine, and Qiu Rong's symptoms have not improved at all. I beg Grandma to invite a better doctor to see Qiu Rong."
Liu Leqing rubbed his temple and said impatiently, "The doctor who treated you is already the best, and you still think it's not enough?"
"Or do you think Qiu Rong is more honorable than the master of this mansion? Okay, stop talking and leave."
