Chapter 294: Like Swallowing a Fly
When Lu Lingjun heard Qiu Ling and Ling Long's concern for Li Bixi, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
"You have been on good terms with Aunt Li lately," she said.
Hearing this, Qiu Ling blushed, and she smiled broadly and flatteringly, "Madam, Aunt Li is a good girl!"
"Yes, she is very obedient." Linglong also spoke for Bixi.
The one who received the most favor was Linglong.
Bi'e also went to her in private and told her very thoughtfully that the position of the young lady in the house was unshakable. Aunt Qiu had an heir, but they were both in trouble. If they could help each other, they would help each other. She was willing to dote on the prince. Give her some and tell her to take advantage of it.
Linglong was really moved after seeing with her own eyes that Bijie pushed the prince back to the Yaoguang Pavilion several times. Her impression of Bijie changed completely. Sometimes when she had good things, she would think of Li Bijie and share half of them with her.
Seeing Lu Lingyun asking questions, she subconsciously spoke well of Li Bixi.
Lu Lingyun looked at them both, "Why hasn't Aunt Li come yet?"
"Yes, why hasn't Aunt Li arrived yet?"
"Is it because the weather is cold today and you are feeling unwell again?"
At this time, Xiaoju from Bishui Garden came over and said, "Madam, Aunt Li said that she had just consulted Doctor Liu to check her pulse two days ago. It was still some old illness and she is still recovering. Today she has a severe cold, so she will not come."
"If she has a severe cold, tell her to wear more clothes and cover herself more." Qiu Ling said.
"If you've invited me before, you don't have to make another trip." Linglong said.
"Thank you for your concern, madams," Xiaoju looked up, "When madam Li is well, come over and apologize to the young lady."
Lu Lingyun heard this and said, "Why do you have to apologize? Your aunt is ill, and the doctor is here. It's not a big deal to go and see her. I have time, so let's go and see Aunt Li together."
Lu Lingyun's words immediately made Xiaoju panic.
Qiu Ling and Ling Long said without hesitation, "Yes, let's go together and visit Aunt Li."
"Young Madam, Aunt Qiu, Aunt Ling, Aunt Li seems to have caught a cold and is coughing in the house. She doesn't want to bother you. Otherwise, let the doctor go alone." Xiaoju spoke while thinking about the instructions given by Li Bixiang.
Just now at Bishuiyuan, Li Bixi taught her how to say it word by word.
She also said that if things didn't go well today, she would send her to the young mistress. There were many maids in the young mistress's courtyard, and if she went there, she could only be a lowly maid. She didn't want to work in the main courtyard.
Even if Li Bixi didn't have her indenture, she could still be Li Bixi's personal maid, doing light work. But now she was sent to work in the main courtyard, where she was unfamiliar with the place and would definitely be doing hard work.
Moreover, she had followed Aunt Li. When she left Aunt Li's place and went to the Madam's room, the servants would serve her different dishes according to her situation, so she would definitely be excluded by others.
So, she said whatever Li Bixi taught her to say.
I was afraid she would send me away.
Lu Lingyun glanced at the frightened and nervous little maid, "Has Aunt Li caught a cold?"
"Yes! Madam!" Xiaoju knelt down with a thud, "You cough quite badly, you should not go, it will be troublesome!"
"How about asking a doctor to take a look?" Qiu Ling asked.
"Yes, Madam, let's not go. You are in poor health." Linglong said.
"You are mistaken. Aunt Li is seriously ill. I have to go and see her. If anything happens to her, it will be my fault."
Lu Lingyun stood up immediately.
Seeing that she couldn't hold it in any longer, Xiaoju couldn't help showing nervousness on her face. She wanted to say something, and Qiu Ling and Ling Long, who had just helped her talk to Li Bijie, stood up.
"If the young lady goes, I will go too."
"I'll come too."
Qiu Ling and Ling Long followed.
Seeing this, Xiaoju completely shut up. She hurriedly got up from the ground and followed them.
After a while, we arrived at Bishuiyuan.
Lu Lingyun brought the doctor to Bishuiyuan.
Li Bixi, who was in the room, frowned when she heard the crowd coming outside. After hesitating for a long time, she opened the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Lu Lingyun leading a group of people coming in.
"Aunt Li, I heard you were ill?"
When Li Bixi saw Lu Lingyun, she coughed twice in a pretentious manner and said, "Madam, I am ill. It is a minor illness, but it is nothing serious. Thank you for coming to see me."
"Look at what you said." Lu Lingyun winked at the doctor behind him, "Let our concubine Li take a look."
When Li Bixiang found out that this doctor was not the one employed by the mansion, her heart skipped a beat.
"Where's Doctor Liu?"
"I think Dr. Liu's medical skills are not good enough, so I plan to change doctors this year," said Lu Lingyun.
"How could it be..." Li Bixiang met Lu Lingyun's eyes, as if she could see through him. She was certain that Lu Lingyun already knew her secret.
Qiu Ling and Ling Long came over at this time, "Aunt Li, stop talking and ask the new doctor to take a good look at you!"
"Yes! I also think that Doctor Liu's medical skills are not good enough. You have been recuperating for such a long time, but why do you feel that your body is getting weaker and weaker? You haven't left the house for the past few days."
Listening to what the two said, Li Bixi's eyes were filled with sadness. She smiled and said, "I'm almost well now."
"Then I need to ask for a safe pulse!"
Qiu Ling and Ling Long surrounded her and sat down. Li Bixi was lifted up and had no way to retreat. She could only stretch out her hand reluctantly.
When Lu Lingyun saw this scene, the corners of his lips curled slightly.
At this time, Qiu Ling and Ling Long still treated Bixi as a sister. When the doctor took her pulse, they took the initiative to tell Bixi about her daily physical condition.
"Doctor, Aunt Li has a cold uterus and a cold body. She has been taking medicine for a long time but it has not improved. Do you have any good prescriptions to help her regulate her body?"
"Yes, her fertility is also affected. Can she be cured?"
The new doctor listened to what they said, frowned, and looked at them strangely, "Who told you that this concubine has a cold body and cold uterus, and has trouble giving birth?"
When the new doctor finished speaking, the enthusiastic Qiu Ling and Ling Long were both stunned.
"Not only does this concubine not have a cold body or uterine cold, she is already three months pregnant!"
These words flashed like thunder, and when the whole room was shocked, Li Bixi stood up quickly and cried with joy, "What! I'm really pregnant!"
"Doctor, look again! This is impossible!"
The new doctor stroked his beard and took the patient's pulse again under the shocked gazes of Qiu Ling and Ling Long.
"It's slippery pulse, auntie, you are really pregnant."
Under everyone's gaze, Li Bixian turned around and knelt down in front of Lu Lingyun. "I know. The medicine must have taken effect during this period of time. It is also the blessing of the young lady and the Marquis' Mansion that made me pregnant!"
She looked at Lu Lingyun excitedly and kowtowed with joy.
Qiu Ling and Ling Long both looked at Li Bixi as if she had swallowed a fly.
