Chapter 14: Concubine's Affairs



"Why are you still standing there? Call a doctor!"

Lu Jing walked forward and picked up Fang Rou, looking anxious, completely forgetting the romantic moments just now.

Liu Lu stood alone in the middle, pursing her lips tightly. The panicked crowd in front of her was like slaps in the face, hitting her one after another.

She just watched as Lu Jing hugged the woman and left without looking back!

"Alas, Aunt Fang has this old problem. Just now, the Marquis clearly..." Shen Ruoyan hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed, "She is not in good health, so don't bother with her."

The trick is not new, as long as it is useful.

Lu Jing is a man of tender affection for women, and Fang Rou is the apple of his eye. No matter how many barriers there are between them, they will all disappear at this moment.

Zhu Hong stepped forward and pulled her sister, "Don't worry, Madam, I won't have to worry about it."

She lowered her head, but her heart was ablaze. Zhu Hong and Liu Lu were sisters, both talented and capable. The younger sister seemed brave and adventurous, but in reality, the older sister was the one who made the decisions.

Just like now, even if Liu Lu was so angry that she wanted to curse, she had to shut her mouth and bow with her sister to see the mistress off.

"Sister! This bitch did it on purpose! She just doesn't want the Marquis to favor us!"

After Shen Ruoyan left, Liu Lu couldn't hold back any longer, "We married in to be concubines, but now we're not even as good as a girl who climbs into bed. If this gets spread back to Qingsong Garden, people will laugh at us!"

The two sisters were outstanding in Qingsong Garden. Ordinary noble families would not even look upon them, otherwise, they would not have waited for the opportunity to enter the Marquis' Mansion.

I thought a playboy like Lu Jing would be easy to get. What's more, the mistress of this house was generous. As long as they behaved themselves and became favored concubines, their lives would be very easy.

Who knew that the mistress wasn't the one making trouble, but that lowly bed-climbing girl was the one making trouble!

Liu Lu would never accept losing to her!

"What's the rush?" Zhu Hong looked at her amusedly and patted her sister's head. "Since she has climbed into the Marquis's bed, she naturally relies on his favor. If we were favored, she would naturally worry."

However, after living in the mansion for so many days, Zhuhong has already figured out the relationships in this mansion.

Shen Ruoyan was generous because she came from the Shen family, a prestigious family with a clean background. She disdained the jealousy of women like them. As the mistress, she only needed to manage the inner house and sit in her high position.

In other words, even if these people fight to the death in the house, the position of the mistress will not be changed.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhuhong and her sister showed great obedience to the mistress. Their goal was never to achieve that position.

"Then what should we do? We are all women. If she wants to monopolize the Marquis, how can we live?!" Liu Lu spoke her mind, and she said what she really meant, causing Zhu Hong to burst out laughing.

"You, you're just saying whatever you want! Don't worry, she won't be so proud for long."

No matter how much a man loves a woman, there will come a day when he gets tired of her.

Fang Rou's tactics weren't particularly clever; they were simply a gamble on Lu Jing's concern for her. However, the deeper the concern, the easier it would be to drain him.

Deep love can't withstand the constant companionship...

"Rou'er, how are you?" Lu Jing sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Fang Rou worriedly.

"Doctor, why does Rou'er suffer from heart palpitations every few days? Is there no way to cure it?" Lu Jing felt very distressed. When Fang Rou was giving birth, her grandmother suppressed him so much that she could not stay with Fang Rou.

If it weren't for her love for herself, Fang Rou might not have been able to hold on!

"No matter what method you use, I must cure Rou'er!"

The doctor was sweating profusely. Fang Rou covered her chest and coughed lightly a few times. "My Lord, this is an old problem. Don't blame Doctor Liu. He has done his best."

At this point, she became sad, "It's all my bad fate, but it doesn't matter, it's all my own will."

Lu Jing was moved and took her hand, feeling guilty. "Don't worry, Rou'er. I will definitely treat you well!"

"Madam is here!"

There was a sound of announcement outside. Fang Rou's face changed, but Lu Jing patted her hand soothingly and stood up: "Don't be afraid."

"My Lord, how is Concubine Fang? This is Doctor Xu, who is responsible for my recovery. He is a skilled doctor. Can you let him take a look at Concubine Fang?"

Shen Ruoyan was weak, and her health had been damaged since she fell into the water, so she needed to be well cared for. Therefore, the Shen family spared no expense to invite the famous folk doctor Xu to take care of her health.

"Then let him come and show Rou'er!"

Even Lu Jing had heard of Doctor Xu's reputation. Although Doctor Liu was assigned by the old lady, it wouldn't hurt to see more than one doctor for this kind of situation. Maybe they could find the right treatment right away!

"My Lord, don't!" Fang Rou shrank back in fear. She looked at Lu Jing hesitantly, wanting to say something but not daring to, which made the maids and servants beside her grit their teeth.

Chun Xi sarcastically said in her heart, "Pretending is really disgusting!"

"Rou'er, don't worry. Doctor Xu is a very skilled doctor. I'll feel at ease if you let him see you." Lu Jing said as he gave up his seat.

Fang Rou panicked and said quickly, "My Lord! This is just an old illness of mine. It's nothing serious. Just follow the previous prescription to recuperate. There's no need to make such a fuss. I'm of low status and can't afford it..."

"How can Concubine Fang be so self-deprecating? Everyone knows that the Marquis loves you the most! You must not let the Marquis down!"

Liu Lu smiled as she walked in hand in hand with Zhu Hong. "Greetings, Lord Marquis, and Madam. We just saw Concubine Fang faint, and we were deeply concerned, so we came to visit."
