Plague? Lu Qingyan was stunned. This was impossible!
The number of people who would die if the plague broke out was no joke. If it really was a plague, then Madam Fu would no longer be able to stay in the Fu family mansion.
Moreover, Sun Ping came to the Fu residence yesterday and Fu Lishi fell ill. Lu Qingyan could easily figure out what happened, and she shouldn't use this as an excuse.
This is something that Imperial Censor Fu cannot do.
Even the servants of the Fu family wouldn't be so unruly as to spread such a thing.
"Sister, you can't say things like that," Lu Qingyan said timidly.
Fu Zige smiled gently: "I just found out about this myself, and I don't know if it's true or not. But since Mother is sick, you should stay away from her, little sister. You've always been in poor health, and you're easily infected by any illness. If anything happens to you, Mother will worry. It's better to stay away from her, just in case."
I almost believed what they said.
Lu Qingyan blinked: "Of course I know my sister is good to me, and she's saying all this for my own good. But my mother is different. This time, I want to stay by her side and take care of her."
Upon hearing this, Fu Zige's face stiffened, but she smiled and said, "Do whatever you want. Just remember to take care of yourself, and don't let your mother recover before you fall ill again."
Lu Qingyan nodded solemnly, then said with difficulty, "I'll listen to you, sister. But—Mother has never really liked me, so I'm afraid she won't agree to let me stay by her side to take care of her. I'll have to trouble you with a lot of things then."
“We are sisters by blood, there’s no need to be so formal. I’ll talk to Mother and try to persuade her. Don’t keep hiding from her like this. Show your face in front of her more often, and she will always remember some of your good qualities.”
Fu Zige spoke earnestly, but Lu Qingyan didn't take it seriously.
It's true that showing your face in front of some people makes it easier to be remembered, but showing your face in front of someone who holds a grudge against you, are you sure this isn't a provocation?
Given Li's hatred for Ziwu, I'm afraid she'll hate her even more.
“I remember everything my sister said. Don’t worry, I will definitely do it,” Lu Qingyan replied.
Hearing the unwavering affection and trust in Lu Qingyan's words, Fu Zige felt much more at ease.
They're both born of the same mother, so why is her younger sister so spoiled? But she's lucky; the arranged marriage almost went through, but her fainting spell led to her being discovered.
Princess Yi's title sounds better now, but who doesn't know that Shangguan Li is now a cripple? No matter what, Prince De is still a healthy person.
"Eldest Miss, Prince Yi, Second Miss, Prince De." At this moment, the servant who opened the door called out to them and came over: "Madam is not feeling well, and Master is also resting at the manor today. Master said that after the young ladies return, they should go to their boudoirs first, and the two princes can go to his study. Master should have come out to greet them personally, but because of Madam's matter, Master is also tired. Please forgive him, Your Highnesses."
Imperial Censor Fu was, after all, their father-in-law, so Shangguan Li and Shangguan Ren had to give him that much face, and they both said they didn't care.
The servant led the two princes over, and Fu Zige and Lu Qingyan went in as well.
This was their home where they had lived for sixteen years, so they didn't need anyone to lead the way.
Lu Qingyan only brought Xique with her, and Fu Zige didn't bring many people either, only Liu Yan and Liu Yu.
