Chapter 221 It’s Your Sister’s Failure
Cui Si frowned and felt a sharp pain and heaviness in her head.
"What's wrong with me?"
After the doctor took her pulse, he said, "Sixth Lady has caught a cold. I'll prescribe two doses of medicine for you to take first. However, since you were sick before, your body is already weak. You need to take care of yourself these days and take good care of yourself."
Ever since she fell ill while living in Pingshan, her condition has been recurring for many days and has never been completely cured. She has felt better recently, but not as good as before.
Maybe she tossed and turned in her sleep last night and didn't cover herself with the quilt properly, so she caught a cold.
"I have a headache."
"Drink a glass of warm water first to calm down."
Cui Si frowned, actually missing the Xiao Chaihu Granules and Jiujiu Cold Relief. Now she had to wait for the medicine to be boiled before she could drink it, and it tasted bitter and smelled bad. If she had these granules, she would just drink a packet and feel much better.
Cui Si had a headache so much that she didn't want to move. She nodded and buried her head in the pillow.
Song Lu sent the doctor back to the clinic and took the medicine back to boil.
Yanzhi brought a cup of warm water and asked Cui Si to drink some first. Seeing that her face was red and she closed her eyes and didn't want to talk, she wanted to say something but didn't open her mouth.
Cui Si drank the warm water and frowned, "Don't tell the old lady."
When Old Lady Xu lived in Pingshan, she kept an eye on her for so long that her health had just improved, but now she got sick again. She deserved to be scolded.
"It's too late."
"Hmm?" Cui Si looked up at her.
Yanzhi said, "We've already called a doctor, how could the old lady not know?"
As soon as Yanzhi finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside. Soon, Aunt Deng came in supporting Old Lady Xu. Cui Si's face changed and her headache became even worse.
"Grandma, grandma..."
"You still remember that I'm your grandmother." Old Madam Xu raised her hand to let Aunt Deng release her, then stepped forward. "How could I not have known before that you were such a sentimental person, willing to die for a man?"
Cui Si's mouth twitched: "Grandmother, you worry too much."
"Then what happened to you? I went to Graceland yesterday and came back, and I got sick last night."
"This is an accident," Cui Si sighed. "Yesterday I brought back some medical books and was so engrossed in them that I couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning. I accidentally caught a cold."
Mrs. Xu raised her eyelids, then sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at her seriously: "Really?"
"It is more real than real gold, and it is not an empty statement."
"Okay, grandma believes you." Old Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that Cui Si was still brooding over the abruptly ended marriage and couldn't get over it.
How can I live my life if I keep brooding over it for the rest of my life?
"Grandma, don't worry. I will be fine." Life is precious. If you don't want to do anything, just lie down. Isn't it good enough if your daily worries are about where to go and what to cook?
"Grandma, I will definitely recover."
"That's good, that's good."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu finally felt relieved. Seeing that she was not in good spirits, she did not disturb her, let her have a good rest and went back.
When she returned to Qingsong Courtyard and sat down to drink a cup of tea, she had just sent someone to get some supplements for Cui Si when she heard someone come to report that Madam Song and Song Zhi had come to visit Song Rou.
In the past, Old Lady Xu didn't want to see Madam Song's face, so she sent them to see Song Rou. Now, when she thought of what she had found out about the Song family, she couldn't help but frown.
"Send them in and tell them I want to see them."
The maid replied yes and went to invite the person over.
Aunt Deng reminded her, "Madam, there are some things we have to be patient with. If it gets to Madam's ears, it might not be appropriate. You have to think about the child in Madam's belly."
Old Madam Xu breathed a sigh of relief. "I understand this. I'll just see what they're up to. If possible, I'll try to give them a little warning so they can be more restrained."
Aunt Deng shook her head, thinking that the Song family would never restrain themselves.
After Mrs. Song and Song Zhi had their visiting cards delivered, they were invited to the guest courtyard to drink tea and wait.
Mrs. Song's face was gloomy. "If your elder sister had been more capable and managed the family, we, the family members of your family, wouldn't need to wait here."
The Song family is the Cui family's official relative, and Song Rou is also the head lady of the Cui family's second branch. She is Song Rou's biological mother. When she comes, she is a distinguished guest. There is no reason to ask her to wait.
"It's all because of your sister's uselessness!"
After being Mrs. Cui for so many years, her mind was full of love affairs, but she gained nothing. Moreover, she was always suspicious, fearing that the child born to the original wife would harm her child. She was always on guard against this and that, which made Cui Xian and Cui Jing not close to each other.
I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it before, but now Cui Jing and Cui Si are both powerful, and it’s a pity that Cui Xian can’t benefit from his brothers and sisters.
"Mother." Song Zhi's face turned a little unhappy. "How could you say that to my sister? You must not say these words again in the future, and you must not say them in front of my sister, lest my sister feel uncomfortable."
Mrs. Song's face turned even darker when she heard this: "You seem to feel sorry for your sister, but you don't feel sorry for your mother."
Whether life is good or not can really be reflected in a person.
The Song family's life was getting worse and worse. They were on the verge of falling into poverty and didn't know where to go. Mrs. Song was so anxious that her mouth was foaming and her temper became much irritable.
She blamed her husband for not living up to her expectations, her daughter for having no future, and her son for not understanding her efforts. There was no trace of the calmness and pride of a noble lady left in her.
Song Zhi was choked by these words and his face turned pale. He hurriedly said, "Mother, please don't talk nonsense. When has your son not loved you..."
"Isn't it now? If you feel sorry for me, you should persuade your sister on my behalf and ask her to talk to your brother-in-law and ask Cui Jing to take you with him."
Just as the mother and son were arguing, the maid who came to ask for help arrived.
The maid bowed and said, "Greetings to Madam Song, and Mr. Song. My old lady invites you both."
"Madam, your old lady?"
"Exactly."
Mrs. Song was a little surprised, but she also thought it would be nice to meet Old Madam Xu, so she said, "It just so happens that I also want to go and pay my respects to the old lady. You lead the way."
"Mrs. Song, Mr. Song, please come this way." The maid asked the two to follow her, then walked in front to lead the way, while Mrs. Song and Song Zhi walked behind.
Madam Song whispered to Song Zhi, "When you see the old lady later, beg her to let Cui San take you with him. It's such a pity. It would be so much better if you could marry Liu Niang."
If Song Zhi had married Cui Si, there was no way Cui Jing would not have supported his brother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Song felt annoyed again: "It's all your sister's fault."
If she had known that Song Rou was not smart and would not consider her parents' family, she should not have married Song Rou to her.
It would be better to let Song Zhi marry Cui Si.
