A hoarse groan was heard from the Buddhist hall. The servant curled his lips and smiled, but did not pay much attention to it. He opened the door and left.
The light from outside came in through the open door and shone on He Qing who was lying on the ground. He Qing opened her eyes with some discomfort and stared straight ahead blankly.
She had been lying in front of the Buddha statue for three days without eating any food. At this moment, her eye sockets were sunken, her lips were cracked, and her face was haggard.
He Qing felt like she almost died here.
At that time, He Hanqun said that she was only allowed to drink water during these three days. There is a difference between drinking a glass of water and a pot of water.
In order to please Zhao Lili, the villa's nanny only gave He Qing half a cup of water every day. It made little difference whether she drank it or not, it could only ensure that she would not die of thirst.
He Qing saw that the door of the Buddhist hall was opened, and she gritted her teeth and climbed up. However, because she had been hungry for too long, she had low blood sugar. As soon as she stood up, her vision went dark and she fell to the floor again.
After a long time, she finally walked into the room with great effort. Without caring about anything else, she first grabbed a tin can of candy on the bedside table, opened the box with trembling hands, grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into her mouth...
After the servant opened the door for He Qing, she went to Zhao Lili's room again. She changed her mocking attitude in front of He Qing and said to Zhao Lili in a flattering way with a charming smile, "Sister Lili, the eldest lady just went into the room."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lili put down the silver needle she was using for acupuncture practice and moved her wrist.
She thought for a moment and replied, "She is indeed pitiful... She has not eaten a grain of rice for three days, she must be starving... I remember there are some new seafood in the kitchen, let's ask them to make some sashimi and tempura that the young lady likes, and bring them to her room."
The servant was startled when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "These seafoods are very rare nowadays. Do we really want to give them to the eldest lady? Why not leave them for the second lady..."
Since the volcanic eruption, air transport has been cut off, and the supply of seafood has become much more difficult than before. Even the rich people in Anshi can no longer eat seafood as happily as before.
Zhao Lili waved her hand and said with a smile, "Xiaoqing likes seafood the most, especially salmon fillet. She has been hungry for three days, so let's give it to her first."
Upon hearing this, the servants praised Zhao Lili for being considerate to Zhou Yu, and praised her for being beautiful and kind, and for caring about He Qing more than He Hanqun, and for having the demeanor of a mistress.
Zhao Lili listened to the servant's compliments, just smiled and said nothing, and then took out a pair of pearl earrings from the jewelry box and gave them to her.
The servant couldn't stop smiling as she held the two large, round Australian white pearls in her hands. She knew that the pair of earrings could fetch a lot of money if sold, so she thanked Zhao Lili profusely and leaned over to leave.
Watching the servant's back as he left, Zhao Lili continued to fiddle with the acupuncture needles in her hand with her head down.
He Hanqun is old and has been complaining of headaches and back pains. Zhao Lili has learned some acupuncture and massage and gives He Hanqun massages every day.
It is because of these considerate Zhou Pei that He Hanqun has become more and more dependent on her over the years.
Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open.
Zhao Lili looked up when she heard some noise and saw Lu Sixue walking in with a smile: "Mom, what are you doing? Dad and my brother are taking me to a banquet at Yunjiang Hotel this weekend. Can you help me choose a dress?"
During this period, Lu Sixue's cheeks became visibly rounder, and her complexion was much better. She no longer had the tired look she had after the miscarriage. She looked like she was wrapped in happiness, and even her eyes were sparkling.
Zhao Lili wanted to make it up to her and gave her the best food, clothing and other daily necessities. He Hanqun loved her and gave her a lot of jewelry and dresses. Lu Sixue felt like she had stepped from hell into heaven again.
Now she is full of thoughts - it's good to have a biological mother! Children with mothers are like treasures!
So she no longer had any doubts about Zhao Lili and began to rely on this mother wholeheartedly.
Zhao Lili looked at Lu Sixue and also smiled from the bottom of her heart. She pulled Lu Sixue over and lifted her long hair while saying, "Baby, let mommy see the tattoo on the back of your neck first. I'll see if you need to add some color."
Upon hearing this, Lu Sixue lowered her head obediently, revealing the red tattoo that looked like a birthmark on the back of her neck.
