Chapter 202 Calculation
Zuo was so angry at Yuan Qilei's words that her heart ached.
She couldn't understand why the man who was so gentle last night could suddenly glare at her. The most important thing was that it was all for a concubine.
As the legal wife, is it possible that she is not as good as a concubine?
In their Zuo family, such a thing would never happen no matter what. When her aunt saw her stepmother, she was like a mouse seeing a cat. How could she dare to act like such a demon?
Thinking of this, Zuo couldn't help but glared at Chen Yan fiercely.
"Master, this Concubine Yan is just a concubine, you..." Zuo was so angry that she wanted to argue with Yuan Qilei, but before she could finish her words, she heard Xiangtao's voice: "Master, Madam, the doctor is here!"
Yuan Qilei only snorted at Zuo: "I'll settle the score with you later!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo was so angry that she was speechless. Qiu Hua hurried forward to support Zuo, helping her sit on a chair nearby. She whispered to her, "Madam, don't be impulsive!"
Zuo Shi barely suppressed her anger, remained silent, and looked coldly at Chen Yan.
"Sir!" The person who came was not Doctor Qian. The servant in the family hurriedly found a clinic and invited the person over. The doctor did not know Yuan Qilei, but just saw that he was an official, so he hurriedly saluted Yuan Qilei.
"Don't be so polite!" Yuan Qilei said anxiously. He hurriedly pulled the doctor to the side of the chaise longue and said, "Please, doctor, take a quick look at why this person is unconscious."
"Don't worry, sir!" The doctor looked at the woman's attire on the chaise longue and knew that she was the mistress of the mansion.
Xiangtao placed the handkerchief on Chenyan's wrist and moved a stool to the doctor's side. The doctor then sat down and began to take the patient's pulse. While taking the patient's pulse, he half-closed his eyes and shook his head, sometimes frowning, sometimes realizing something. He did not speak for a long time, which made Yuan Qilei anxious.
"Doctor, what's the matter?" Yuan Qilei couldn't help but ask.
The doctor opened his eyes after a long while, looked at Chen Yan's face again, and then said to Yuan Qilei, "Sir, this lady looks pale and sweats profusely. I'm afraid she's suffering from heatstroke. Although it's not summer yet, the sun is still quite strong. It's better to avoid the sun."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qilei glared at Zuo angrily and asked the doctor, "How should this be treated?"
"Let me prescribe a prescription to help Madam get rid of the heat. Then she can rest slowly and she will be fine naturally!" the doctor said with a smile.
"In that case, I'll trouble you, doctor!" Yuan Qilei said hurriedly.
"No problem!" The doctor wrote a prescription and handed it to Yuan Qilei: "Follow this prescription. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl of water. Take one dose a day. You will be fully recovered in about four or five days!"
"Okay, thank you, doctor!" Yuan Qilei hurriedly asked someone to collect the doctor's medical fee, and then sent someone to send the doctor out of the house.
After sending the doctor away, Yuan Qilei hurriedly ordered the servant to get some medicine. He then picked up the still unconscious Chen Yan and said to Zuo in a cold voice, "I'll discuss today's matter with you when I get back!"
After saying that, he strode out of Zuo's house. Xiangtao timidly bowed to Zuo and hurriedly followed Yuan Qilei out!
Zuo sat on the chair, holding Qiu Hua's hand, shaking with anger.
Just now, the doctor addressed Chen Yan as Madam, and Yuan Qilei didn't even object, which made her so angry that her heart ached. But before leaving, he actually said these words to her!
Zuo felt a chill in her heart. The sweetness of her newlywed life was shattered at this moment!
"Madam!" Qiu Hua looked at Zuo worriedly, "The master is furious. You can't go against him, or else that vixen will get the upper hand."
"Hasn't that vixen gotten away with it yet?" Zuo's face flushed with anger. "That bitch is quite clever, but she managed to win the master's heart by pretending to be weak!"
"Madam, maybe Aunt Yan did it on purpose today!" Qiu Hua pursed her lips and whispered to Zuo.
"What do you mean?" Zuo asked with a frown.
Qiu Hua then said, "Madam, think about it. This Concubine Yan clearly knew you didn't want to see her, yet she still came forward anyway. She also fainted just as the Master was coming back. How could such a coincidence exist in this world?"
"Okay!" Zuo thought for a moment after hearing this, then slammed the table. "How dare this bitch scheme against me! I'm so foolish that I just fell for her tricks and even beat me up for her. I'll never let her go!"
"Madam, please calm down. If you create a rift with the master because of this, wouldn't that be exactly what Madam Yan wants?" Qiu Hua was startled and hurriedly comforted her.
Qiu Hua was the maidservant that Zuo brought with her as a dowry from her natal family. She had followed Zuo since she was a child and naturally understood Zuo's temperament. Although Zuo was arrogant, she was not very smart, otherwise she would not have been controlled by the mistress and only got married now, and she became the second wife of the Yuan family.
But she was just a maid after all, and her words carried little weight. Although Zuo was arrogant, she was a man of righteous ideas, so she could only try her best to persuade her.
"As that vixen wants?" Zuo gritted her teeth and said, "Don't even think about it!"
But Yuan Qilei carried Chen Yan back to the room where Chen Yan lived, and carefully placed Chen Yan on the bed.
Looking at Chen Yan's pale and weak look, Yuan Qilei felt extremely distressed!
"Hmm..." Chen Yan moaned softly, then slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Yuan Qi Lei sitting beside the bed, she slowly raised her hand and gently placed it on Yuan Qi Lei's arm: "Master!"
Yuan Qilei was overjoyed when he saw Chen Yan wake up: "Yan'er, are you okay?"
"Yan'er is fine!" Chen Yan's voice was a little weak, which made Yuan Qilei feel even more distressed.
Chen Yan seemed to have just realized that he had returned to his own room. He was a little surprised and said, "Master, why are you in my room? You and the Madam are newlyweds, you should be with the Madam!"
"Hmph!" Speaking of Zuo Shi, Yuan Qilei snorted coldly: "She made you become like this, and you are so attentive."
"Master, this is not Madam's fault!" Chen Yan said with a look of grievance: "It was Yan'er who didn't know the limits and annoyed Madam."
"How did you irritate her?" Yuan Qilei asked.
Chen Yan's face was gloomy: "Yan'er shouldn't have disturbed Madam when she was resting. It was Yan'er's fault!"
Yuan Qilei frowned and asked, "So when you went to pay your respects, she made you stand in the hot sun? But wasn't she still asleep when you went?"
Chen Yan looked surprised: "Ah, Master, how did you know..."
Before he could finish his words, he quickly covered his mouth and said, "Ah, no, sir, when Yan'er went to pay her respects to Madam, she had already gone to bed!"
"You, you're still covering it up for her!" Yuan Qilei sighed, "I heard everything you said to Xiangtao!"
"Ah!" Chen Yan's face was full of panic: "Master, please don't blame Madam. It's Yan'er who is ignorant and misunderstood. No matter what, it's Yan'er's fault today!"
"Wrong?" Yuan Qilei frowned and asked, "What do you mean by wrong?"
