After taking their seats and letting Qiu Ling finish her tea, the Marquis took Qiu Ling's hand and said, "Qiu Ling, please tell me about the girl quickly."

Qiu Ling, her eyes red, briefly recounted the events of the past ten years, then asked with concern, "Young Miss is worried about Madam's health. I see that Madam's complexion isn't as rosy as before, is there something wrong?"

Listening to Qiu Ling's story, Madam Hou's tears soaked two handkerchiefs. Receiving Qiu Ling's concern, Madam Hou shook her head and said, "I'm fine." Seeing that Mother Chen was about to speak, Madam Hou glared at her, and Mother Chen retreated to her original position.

Then the Marquis's wife asked Qiu Ling why she came: "I have been sending you back to the mansion for so many years, but if there is anything difficult, just tell me."

Seeing that they were alone in the room, Qiu Ling reached into her sleeve and pulled out the confession, presenting it to the Marquis's wife. After the Marquis's wife accepted the confession, Qiu Ling said, "Madam, you must take charge of the eldest young lady. She thinks of you and everyone in the Marquis's mansion all the time. I personally sent no less than ten letters back then, but all of them fell into oblivion without a response."

Qiu Ling wiped away her tears and continued, "The eldest young lady was weak after giving birth, but she still had to get up and write a letter back home. She didn't receive a reply from the Marquis' Mansion. She didn't recover well during the confinement period, and now she only has Master Shu as her child. The last time I returned from Jinling, the eldest young lady heard that the Marquis' Mansion didn't want to see her, so she fell seriously ill."

Listening to Qiu Ling's accusations, Madam Hou felt a sharp pain in her heart. She beat her chest repeatedly. Mother Chen saw this and quickly stepped forward to pat Madam Hou's back to soothe her. As she did so, she said to Qiu Ling, "The girl hasn't had a good time, and Madam Hou has had even worse these past few years. Her own daughter wants to break off relations with her and marry away. She hasn't received a single letter in over ten years. Madam Hou has cried countless nights. She used to be able to hold an embroidery needle, but now the words on her books are blurry. And her body..."

Before Mother Chen could finish her words, the Marquis' wife interrupted her, "Mother Chen, stop talking. I only hate that bitch for letting us get away with it, forcing us to be separated from each other for so many years. From now on, Sister Qing won't have to take revenge on me if she comes again."

After she finished speaking, the Marquis's heart ached again, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead. Mother Chen hurriedly shouted, "Quickly call the palace doctor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Yang was invited in. After he came in and saw the condition of the Marquis' wife, he immediately put down the medicine box, had someone take the Marquis' wife to the couch, and after washing his hands, he took the gold needles and started acupuncture.

Seeing the state of the Marquis's wife, Qiu Ling fell to her knees in fear. She looked anxiously at the Marquis' wife on the couch, and in her heart she hated herself for saying everything without asking clearly.

Poof, the Marquis' wife spat out a mouthful of black blood. Qiu Ling was so scared that her body went limp and tears streamed down her face.

But Doctor Yang slowly pulled out the needle and said, "It's done."

Mother Chen, who was serving beside her, asked anxiously, "How did it get better? Madam was vomiting blood!"

Doctor Yang replied as he packed his medicine chest, "Madam Hou has heart congestion. This stimulation caused her to vomit dirty blood. Take good care of yourself and your health will gradually improve." He then added, "Don't give her any tonics. Just keep her warm."

Hearing this, Mother Chen felt relieved and smiled: "Excuse me, Doctor, could you please prescribe a prescription?"

Doctor Yang, who had picked up the medicine box, nodded and said, "It's not a big deal. I'm just following the princess' instructions."

Qiu Ling, whose mood was fluctuating greatly, felt extremely grateful to Princess Jinyi when she heard that it was the imperial physician who was called by the princess.
