Chapter 133: Infected
Yun'er's illness did not attract the attention of anyone except Qu Ling.
Qu Yu didn't take it to heart.
His excitement had worn off by half, and he was still thinking of finding another reason to attack He and find him a new person.
The cold wind of deep winter howled through the Dingxiang Marquis Mansion, rustling the dead branches in the courtyard.
Qu Yu went to ask during the day whether the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue that he was about to take up was safe.
After making sure everything was safe, he returned home with a happy smile on his face.
He fell ill in the evening.
I had a fever and red rashes the size of coins appeared on my body.
Burning pain.
He quickly called He over.
He took a look and was so frightened that the handkerchief in her hand fell off.
She quickly rolled up Qu Yu's sleeves and exclaimed, "This is syphilis."
"Nonsense," Qu Yu's heart skipped a beat. He waved He away, his face gloomy. "I've never been around prostitutes, how could I have contracted such a disease?"
Although he said this, he was actually very worried.
He reacted quickly and slapped He's face, "What disease did Yun'er contract?"
He fell to the ground, a cold light flashing in her eyes. She hugged Qu Yu's legs and cried, "That little bitch brought her in. I secretly asked a doctor to check her body. She has the same red spots as you."
Qu Yu felt dizzy for a moment, and after finally calming down, he gritted his teeth and asked, "How did she get infected?"
He kicked He again, "Are you doing something bad and trying to hurt me on purpose?"
He shook her head with tears in her eyes, and said defensively, "Her body is innocent, and the master knows it best."
Qu Yu naturally knew it and remained silent for a long time.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" He roared, taking his anger out on He.
"She fell ill, and I didn't dare say anything. I locked her up, thinking of sending her to the farm after the New Year," He began to cry. "I saw that the master was fine a few days ago, so I thought it didn't spread to you."
"Such things make you upset when I tell you about them."
Qu Yu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he said, "Let's call the doctor and tell him he's treating Yun'er. Send the medicine to my room."
As for that little bitch, it would be a relief if she died of illness.
He scolded He again, "How did she get infected? Have you found out?"
He was embarrassed. "It's not a glorious disease, so it's really hard to diagnose."
With a turn of his eyes, he deliberately tried to test, "Could it be Bai Shuang..."
"Shut up," Qu Yu said in disgust. "It's already this late, and you're still trying to bring her up!"
He was extremely heartbroken and hated him to the core.
All you know is protecting that despicable bitch.
If Qu Yu had listened to her at the beginning, believed that Bai Shuang was harming people, and sent Bai Shuang away, she would not have resorted to such a desperate measure.
Qu Yu lost his temper, but suppressed his panic, knowing that he couldn't leave He at this time.
If this disease is treated properly, it won't take his life.
But it's really hard to say.
It must not be spread out.
Otherwise, if he gets close to women during the mourning period, the Censorate will definitely catch him and the official position he got after the new year will be gone.
Qu Yu softened a bit and coaxed He, "You and I are husband and wife. Bai Shuang doesn't even have a title. Why do you have to make things difficult for her?"
He didn't say anything.
"My eldest brother's sons are all dead. In the future, the position of Marquis will definitely belong to our son. Lian Jia will also marry into a good family. You will have a happy life in the future."
He was satisfied with what he heard.
"Master, please rest at home. The New Year is coming soon, so don't go out."
He said, "Don't let the doctor in. Let him write the prescription and boil the medicine. I'll have someone bring the medicine in. It's not honorable."
Qu Yu let her take care of such trivial matters.
The noise from the second room immediately reached Qu Ling's ears.
"The Second Master is also ill," Guanqi said, "and the Second Madam is talking about a cold."
"Have you asked the doctor to come in?" Qu Ling asked.
"No, I guess she doesn't dare to invite a doctor to the mansion, so her maid makes medicine and brings it in every day."
Qu Ling, "Go find that mother and see what kind of medicine she gave Qu Yu to drink."
He would definitely not really cure Qu Yu.
If He regrets it, he should take action himself.
She then instructed Tingqin, "Find a clever servant, get some medicine, boil it, and feed it quietly to Yun'er."
Qu Ling was thinking in his mind.
On the second day of the New Year, He was going back to her parents' home, and she hid Yun'er again.
If she rescues Yun'er and finds out the whole story, the He family's handle will remain in her hands forever.
Qu Yu's illness became more and more serious.
I took bowl after bowl of medicine, but there was no improvement.
He fed the medicine personally, but her eyes were colder than the winter weather.
What she gave Qu Yu to drink was certainly not medicine for syphilis.
She hates him.
I hate him for favoring his concubine over his wife, and I hate him for being so heartless and disloyal.
Now that he had contracted such a nasty disease and was on the verge of death, she felt only relief.
But somehow, the news got out.
"The second master of Dingxiang Marquis's Mansion has contracted syphilis."
This news spread like fire throughout the capital in an instant.
As the year was coming to an end, the court officials were preparing to take a break.
The Censorate heard the news and severely reported Qu Yu.
They said he was immoral and violated the law of propriety.
"Filial piety is the foremost of all virtues and the foundation of human relations. If filial piety and brotherly love are lost, where is integrity and shame?"
The eldest princess and the crown prince agreed that he should be dismissed and severely punished.
Song Guang's face turned pale.
He personally recommended him for the position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The eldest princess took advantage of the situation and pushed her own people forward.
Of course Qu Xin had to tell Qu Yu the good news.
The rash on Qu Yu's body spread all over, and he felt as hot as charcoal.
His appearance made Qu Qi, who had gone there specifically to cause trouble for him, feel disgusted.
After coming back, he said for the first time that he wanted to send the clouds and fog away.
Yunwu was in tears and was about to cut her neck with a knife.
"I followed the Marquis with a clean identity, but he despised me. I wish I could die today."
Qu Qin was only awake for a moment.
Seeing Yunwu crying so hard, she no longer remembered Qu Yu's lesson.
This year, the Marquis's Mansion was extremely quiet.
Too many people died.
Not suitable for too lively occasions.
He went to see Yun'er and thought she was dead, but she didn't expect her to get better.
However, He had no intention of letting her live.
Seeing blood is unlucky at the end of the year.
Wait until the first month of the year is over, then deal with her.
On New Year's Eve, the eldest princess sent someone to pick up Qu Ling.
"Princess, the eldest princess asked you to stay at her house to celebrate the New Year's Eve." said the female official who came to pick you up.
Qu Ling followed her.
Big red lanterns were hung early in front of the princess's mansion, and brand new door god statues were pasted on the vermilion lacquered gate.
As soon as Qu Ling got off the carriage, she saw the eldest princess standing at the door waiting for her, and Pei Jingming leaning quietly against the door frame.
"A Ling is here."
The eldest princess was wearing a crimson brocade robe and waved to her. The golden hairpins in her bun swayed gently with her movements.
Qu Ling stepped forward, and the princess held her slightly cold hand, "We've all been waiting for you."
"The princess's sister is the only one who can make mother go out and wait for her." Pei Jingming teased.
The eldest princess was relieved, "A Ling and Yuan Rong are by my side, which makes me happiest."
"What about me?" Pei Jingming leaned over and asked.
The eldest princess was amused by him, "You too."
When the Empress Dowager Song was alive, Zhao Yuanrong was always in the palace. In the princess's mansion, only Pei Jingming was there every year.
