"Second sister, don't be surprised. Tinglan died because of you. And that day, it was indeed you who asked me to go out, which led to my sleeping for two days. I still have some grievances against you. Also, what happened with Granny Yang yesterday was too strange. For some reason, I thought of how you bullied me over the years, and I always feel sad when I dream about it at midnight."
Xie Lingqin spoke each word gently, noticing Xie Lingyu's slightly changed expression, and continued, "However, my kindness is truly useless. These things are in the past, so I will no longer hold grudges."
Hearing this, Xie Lingyu tightened her grip and stopped pretending. "I need the warm jade that your mother left you. That warm jade helps the body generate internal warmth and is good for my face."
Xie Lingyu is very direct and also very arrogant.
Xie Lingqin looked at her as if she were an idiot, but she patiently refrained from turning hostile and asked, "So, what does my sister want?"
"So, if you lend me the jade, I won't cause you any trouble, and I'll treat you better in the future."
“But it was a gift from my mother, and it’s my only keepsake,” Xie Lingqin said, sighing as she spoke, indicating that she was extremely reluctant to part with it.
"Xie Lingqin, Father cares about me. He's known for a long time that the Prince Xian is fond of me, especially my face. Tell me, if I tell Father that you wouldn't lend me the jade and even cursed me, how do you think Father would react... uh..."
Before Xie Lingyu could finish speaking, her expression changed.
Because she saw Xie Lingqin suddenly faint, and if her maid hadn't caught her quickly, she probably would have fallen to the ground.
This is……
"Second Miss, my young lady hasn't been feeling well lately. You mustn't say anything to upset her. Although her mother has passed away, the General is still here," Zihe said worriedly as she helped Xie Lingqin walk outside.
Xie Lingyu looked on, feeling frustrated! She couldn't vent her anger.
She should have had the upper hand, but...
The maids in the courtyard naturally dared not utter a sound; none of them wanted to cause trouble at this time.
He helped Xie Lingqin walk a long way before she finally lifted her head off Zihe's shoulder.
"Very savvy," Xie Lingqin praised Zihe.
Zihe's lips twitched; she had no idea what she was thinking.
The young lady has a real skill to make the second young lady anxious and upset without even trying.
Xie Lingqin nonchalantly patted her sleeves, her brows furrowed with coldness, yet she exuded an air of serene indifference.
"However, the Second Miss was fooled by you for a moment, and she will definitely not let it go once she realizes what's happened, General..."
"What if I also need this warm jade to take care of my body?" Xie Lingqin suddenly changed the subject.
Zihe pursed her lips, "Miss, what do you want to say..."
Xie Lingqin smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes."
If it weren't for the warm jade pendant she wore all these years, the poison in her body would have taken her life long ago.
How could she just hand it over to someone else?
As the master and servant were walking, they saw two maids hurrying towards Xie Lingyu's courtyard not far away.
"Miss said that the monthly pulse check scheduled for a few days later will be postponed."
"Miss is not in good health, shouldn't you have her pulse checked as soon as possible?"
"The master has given these instructions, what are you still chewing on here for?"
"Yes, yes, yes, this servant will go and inform them immediately."
Xie Lingqin watched as the two maids walked away separately, one in front of the other, and then stepped out from the side, her face showing some confusion.
Yes, what that little maid said earlier is not only correct. Based on her understanding of Xie Lingyu, she is probably eager to get her face healed as soon as possible. So why doesn't she let a doctor come and examine her?
The physician's pulse examination is a must in high-ranking families. Not to mention Xie Lingyu, even Xie Lingqin's pulse must be examined.
However, speaking of taking a pulse, the doctor who took her pulse...
She will make sure the other party suffers a terrible death.
Speaking of which, it's about time I went to your residence to have my pulse checked these past few days.
A cold glint flashed in Xie Lingqin's eyes. She turned and went back to the courtyard.
As dusk approached, sure enough, General Xie arrived with his second concubine, whose eyes were red from crying.
Of course, Xie Lingqin was ill.
He had a cold, and his face was deathly pale. It was likely that he caught a chill when Qingfeng Pavilion caught fire the night before. It hadn't flared up before, but it had now.
Given the current situation, even if the doctor didn't say it, General Xie would know that keeping warm is the most important thing.
Looking at the pitiful Xie Lingqin on the bed, General Xie still couldn't bring himself to say, "Lend the warm jade to your second sister."
The second concubine was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
So, Xie Lingqin slept very soundly during the first half of the night.
Naturally, the second aunt and Xie Lingyu didn't sleep well.
Of course, Xie Lingyu wouldn't just sit and wait to die. It's said that he was woken up crying in the middle of the night.
It is also said that the crying somehow reached the ears of Xie Danling, the young master who lived in the North Courtyard. So, before dawn, when the autumn chill was still in the air, Xie Danling, dressed in black, quietly slipped into Xie Lingqin's room.
