Chapter 253: The Concubine Comes
But Du Ruo came here today to ask Cheng Yunshuo for help.
Her aunt was waiting for the imperial physician.
She couldn't lose her temper with him, she couldn't quarrel with him, she wanted to talk to Cheng Yunshuo nicely. She whimpered, forcefully pulled away the servant who was holding her, and stretched out her hand towards Cheng Yunshuo.
"Master, Master, Master... Just let me say a word."
Her simply bandaged hand was soon torn again, and bright red blood immediately soaked the gauze. Cheng Yunshuo took a glance and saw her struggling with a bloody hand.
"Okay! Go ahead."
He finally relented.
Du Ruo pushed aside the crowd that was grabbing her, and grabbed Cheng Yunshuo's arm with her bloody hands. She sobbed and said, "Master."
Cheng Yunshuo looked at her like this, calmed down for a moment, and said to her patiently, "Aruo, you should grow up. You can't always act like a child and fool around every day."
He felt that he had been very good to Du Ruo.
When he took Du Ruo as his concubine, he was doing a huge favor to Du Ruo and the Du family. When Du Ruo was in the Marquis' Mansion, he never treated her harshly.
Whenever he saw her being wronged or someone making things difficult for her, he would stand up to protect her, and sometimes even pampered her like his own child.
He felt that she had been very kind to Du Ruo, but Du Ruo herself always did something out of line.
She caused trouble for him again and again, just like an ignorant child, and made things difficult for him.
"Yes, I will change it. I will change it all." Du Ruo listened to what Cheng Yunshuo said and nodded repeatedly, being very obedient.
Seeing this, Cheng Yunshuo was relieved. "Since you admit your mistake, then let it be. Go back and rest and heal your wounds."
After saying that, he turned and left, but Du Ruo still held his sleeve tightly.
"What else do you want?"
Du Ruo raised her tearful eyes and said, "Master, please get me another doctor. My aunt is vomiting blood again."
Hearing this, Cheng Yunshuo's expression, which had just relaxed, suddenly darkened.
Was all he just saying in vain?
He also asked him to invite a royal physician.
It’s okay if it happens once, but there’s always a second time!
Especially since Bixi had just said outside that only women of noble birth could hire an imperial physician, how could Du Ruo be so ignorant and unruly and keep pestering him to ask him to hire an imperial physician?
"Master, I beg you."
Cheng Yunshuo looked at the pleading Du Ruo with a cold face, "Du Ruo, how old are you this year?"
Du Ruo's pleading expression suddenly stopped. She looked at Cheng Yunshuo, "Master..."
"Don't call me Master!" Cheng Yunshuo was very cold and scolded, "You really treat yourself like a child, always making unreasonable demands. Why can't you grow up a little! Distinguish the priorities! You ask for this and that right away. If you do this again, don't show up in front of me!"
Cheng Yunshuo directly rejected her request.
At this moment, Du Ruo understood.
It turned out that before outside, it was not because of Bixi's instigation that Cheng Yunshuo did not listen to her request, but because Cheng Yunshuo really did not want to help her.
He would never ask the imperial physician to come to her again.
For a moment, she felt something vague that struck her heart.
Cheng Yunshuo may not love...
Du Ruo shook his head violently, impossible, impossible!
She frantically made excuses, "Master, you hired a royal doctor for me once before."
"Oh! You already know I found it for you once, how can you ask for it a second time!"
Hearing this, Du Ruo burst into tears, "No, why could you do it that time, but not this time?"
Why oh why.
Why did he agree last time but not this time?
It's impossible for him not to love her.
She was clearly still the same as before and clearly didn't cause him any trouble. Why was this happening?
This time, the only response to Du Ruo was a cold face.
"Master, you can definitely do it. Please help Aruo. Aruo will be good and obedient in the future. Please help me!" Du Ruo was still begging desperately.
She no longer cares about the results this time, she just wants to see an attitude.
Cheng Yunshuo heard what she said and shook off her hand without hesitation, "Take Aunt Du back."
"Master!"
"Cheng Yunshuo!"
Du Ruo was forcibly taken away and dragged back to the Xiaohe Courtyard.
At this moment, a heart-wrenching pain spread throughout her body, and she was almost numb from the pain.
The next day, Qiu Ling and Ling Long all came to see her. Because of the commotion last night, they all knew that Cheng Yunshuo had a mistress.
After finding out about the affair with the mistress, they knew what had happened to Du Ruo in the past few days.
They originally wanted to persuade Du Ruo, but Du Ruo closed the door tightly. After the two of them made a plan, they went straight to Lu Lingyun.
"Madam, that concubine is too arrogant! She had a conflict with Aunt Du in the street, and everyone in the capital knew about it!"
"How can the prince be so foolish! No matter how good the concubine is, you can't let Aunt Du suffer in public!"
"I think it was all seduced by that mistress!"
"It's abominable!"
Lu Lingyun listened to these in a disjointed manner while moving the beads on the abacus.
Don't care.
At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report.
"Madam, there is a woman kneeling outside our mansion. Come and apologize to Madam."
Hearing this, Lu Lingyun finally came to life, "Who?"
"She is the concubine that the prince has kept outside!"
Qiu Ling and Ling Long were both shocked when they heard this.
That mistress actually dared to come to my house on her own initiative!
What a courage!
Lu Lingyun closed the account book and smiled, "Please let the person in."
After a while, Bixi was brought in.
The moment they saw her, Qiu Ling and Ling Long were both stunned and stared at her.
It looks like it, indeed!
He looks so much like Xing Dairong!
At this time, they finally understood why Du Ruo lost her composure on the street that day and said that she saw Xing Dairong. They also understood why Cheng Yunshuo was so bold as to have a mistress outside! He was willing to embarrass Du Ruo in public for her.
Cheng Yunshuo liked Xing Dairong so much back then that he would do anything for her. Now that he meets a woman who looks so much like her, he must be going crazy!
Who can win against her?
After Bixi entered the yard, she knelt down in front of Lu Lingyun without saying a word.
The whole person lay prone on the ground, kneeling firmly.
"Please spare my life, madam!"
After she showed such a great gift, Qiu Ling and Ling Long both looked at Lu Lingyun.
Lu Lingyun looked at this scene and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is this lady doing?"
Bixi buried her head in the ground, "Madam, Bixi knows that I have done something wrong and humiliated the reputation of the prince and the Marquis' Mansion. Bixi dare not ask for your forgiveness, Madam, I only ask you to spare my life!"
Bixi spoke with great sincerity and every word was humble. She first admitted all her faults and acted as humble as possible, begging for forgiveness from everyone.
When Lu Lingyun heard this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Among Cheng Yunshuo's many concubines, there finally emerged an intelligent one who was ambitious and scheming.
