Chapter 264: Bixi's Body Feels Cold

After a while, Qiu Ling and Ling Long arrived at Lu Lingyun's place.

"Where's Aunt Li?"

Bixi didn't come, but Xiaoju, her maid, came.

"Madam, Aunt Li is not feeling well today, so I was asked to come here to apologize to you. Please don't blame me, Madam."

"She is the only one who has too many problems." Qiu Ling said dissatisfiedly.

"Everyone can come, but she can't. She seems to be the one who knows the rules the best, but in fact, she is the most arrogant!" Linglong followed.

Listening to what they said, Lu Lingjun looked at Xiaoju, "What happened to your aunt?"

"It's her period," Xiaoju looked at everyone, "Auntie Li said that she has been weak since she was young. She caught a cold while working in the palace. She gets cold when she has her period. She's been to a doctor before, and he said that this problem can't be cured, and it will be difficult for her to have children."

At the last sentence, Xiaoju looked at everyone carefully.

Qiu Ling and Ling Long, who were about to make a few teasing remarks, were both stunned when they heard this. They stopped talking, and there was even something strange in their eyes.

Is it difficult for Bixi to give birth?

Everyone was silent for a while, each with their own thoughts.

"She has such an old illness, why didn't she tell her about it before?" Lu Lingyun said at this time.

"Aunt Li is afraid that everyone will worry about her."

Lu Lingyun drank tea, "If you can't come, just take a good rest. You can take the things to your aunt later, and ask Doctor Liu to take a good look at her. Childbirth is a big deal, don't delay it."

"yes."

Lu Lingyun took out some low-quality lynx furs for them to choose from.

She had said before that in the future when the concubines were distributing things, they would come to her to choose so as to avoid fighting over them.

Qiu Ling and Ling Long each happily picked a fur coat of their favorite color. They didn't get much material, just enough to make a fur vest.

But even so, it's good enough.

There are a few families whose aunts have fur coats to wear.

The Marquis's Mansion was a high-ranking and noble family, and there were clear distributions within the family. Fur was almost never distributed to the concubines. In other Marquis's Mansions, for a favored concubine to please the master of the house, getting a fur jewellery was not a big deal.

But this was given to them by Lu Lingyun.

Qiu Ling and Ling Long both happily rushed to Lu Ling Yun to thank him.

I have to say, they are so grateful to have such a generous and kind mistress above them, who never beats or scolds them and even remembers them when they get good things!

"Thank you, Madam, for your gift."

"Thank you, Madam."

Living with Lu Lingyun is a hundred times better than living with Cheng Yunshuo!

"Well, now that you've received your reward, you can go back." Lu Lingyun nodded to them.

She looked at Xiaoju again and picked out a light yellow lynx skin from the remaining ones that was about the same size as Qiu Lingling and gave it to her. "Give this one to your Aunt Li."

"Yes, Madam Xie!" Xiaoju bowed and stepped forward to take the lynx skin.

She was about to leave when Lu Lingyun said, "Your aunt is feeling cold, so bring her a small scarf for the winter."

"Thank you, Madam!"

Qiu Ling and Ling Long saw that Bixi had received the smallest lynx skin tail, but they didn't say anything.

The two of them left Lu Lingyun's yard together.

"Sister Qiu Ling, do you think Aunt Li really has a cold or is she just faking it?" Linglong muttered in a low voice.

"Is it true? The palace is damp and cold, and most of the palace maids are infertile." Qiu Ling said.

This is true. As a servant girl of the Marquis's Mansion, Qiu Ling had seen some old palace maids who were released before, and many of them were unable to give birth to children.

It's just that I worked too much in the palace. Life in the palace is not good at all.

The lower the rank of the palace maid, the harder the work she did, and the colder and damper the room she lived in, so many of them fell ill.

Bixi has even spoken out about her inability to have children, and it doesn't seem like it's false.

"Then she can't give birth?" Linglong couldn't help but ask.

"It's very possible. Look at her condition and her age. She might not be able to give birth." Qiu Ling analyzed.

As the two talked, their hostility towards Bixi lessened significantly, and they even felt a hint of sympathy.

In the final analysis, the women in the harem still rely on their offspring to survive. Qiu Ling already has a child, which makes her invincible. Linglong doesn't have one, but she comes from a humble background and doesn't have high aspirations. It's enough for her to be able to make a living in the Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing that Bixi was going to be like her and unable to have children in the future, Linglong felt that she was not so annoying anymore.

There are so many women coming and going in the backyard. As concubines, it is no better for them to do their duties well and live a good life!

Lu Lingyun's yard.

After she distributed the furs to the concubines, there were a few left. As usual, she gave a vest to Cheng Hui and Cheng Qi respectively. There was one extra piece, so she thought about it and asked someone to deliver it to Du Ruo in the mountain temple.

Lu Lingyun kept all the allowances in the mansion for Du Ruo. It was up to her whether she used them or not.

After finishing this matter, Nanny Wan came up to her.

"Young Madam."

"You're here." Lu Lingjun saw Nanny Wan coming, sitting on the soft chair, and nodded.

"Just now, Doctor Liu went to see Aunt Li. He told me that Aunt Li was indeed suffering from a cold and gave her a prescription," Nanny Wan reported. "Aunt Li said that she might have to take medicine for a long time in the future."

After hearing this, Lu Lingyun smiled lightly and said meaningfully, "Tell her to get the medicine."

"yes!"

After Nanny Wan responded, she said to Lu Lingyun as if to take credit, "I have managed the people in her courtyard very well these past two days. The two maids and the old woman dare not even show their faces in front of the prince! Whenever the prince goes to Aunt Li's place, I will be waiting in the room. Aunt Li dare not say a word, let alone flirt with the prince!"

Lu Lingyun sipped the hot tea and continued to smile, "Okay, Nanny Wan, you've worked hard, you can go back first."

"yes!"

After receiving the approval, Nanny Wan left Lu Lingyun with a smile on her face.

After she left, the other maids in the yard started to discuss.

"Madame Wan is really amazing. She cleaned up Bishuiyuan as soon as she went there!"

"Everyone in Bishui Garden should be punished! Last time something happened to Aunt Du's family, the news spread everywhere but couldn't reach Bishui Garden. If we don't punish them, we won't know who is the master of this mansion!"

"I just can't stand Aunt Li. I always think she's mean and sullen."

"I feel the same way. He is old and cunning. Every time he comes here, he pretends to be humble and submissive, and he knows how to trick us into showing sympathy!"

"Forget it. Didn't you hear Aunt Wan say that she can't have a baby? If she can't have a baby, that's all she'll be like!"

"Yes, yes, yes. She is still old and has no children. When she grows old and ugly, the prince will definitely get tired of her!"

Lu Lingyun listened to the maids in the yard talking one by one. She drank her hot tea calmly, smiled and said nothing.

At this time, it is Bishuiyuan.

After Doctor Liu took the pulse of the bedridden Bixi, Nanny Wan went to Lu Lingyun and slowly got up.
