“Bang!”
A palm hit the old woman's cheek heavily, with a loud and crisp sound.
Chu Qianchen's series of movements were as smooth as flowing water, easy and natural.
The other maids around were dumbfounded watching this scene, some even pinched their thighs secretly. Liu was also stunned, and blurted out in disbelief: "You, you dare!" She actually dared to fight back!
What is she afraid of? Chu Qianchen looked at Liu and smiled slightly.
In her previous life, she was docile and obedient, and was brought up without any opinions of her own. She was always respectful and submissive to the "elders" in the Marquis' Mansion, but what did she get in return? She was kicked out of the house.
Later, he told her:
"Most people in the world are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. Giving in won't make others respect you, it will only make them think you are easy to bully."
The smile between Chu Qianchen's eyebrows deepened a little, and his beautiful phoenix eyes flashed with a bright light like the sun, which was extremely gorgeous.
Calculating the time, he will soon return to Beijing, and she will finally be able to see him again.
It must not be too late in this life!
Thinking about the person she had been thinking about, Chu Qianchen felt that time was running out. She was too lazy to bother with Liu any more, as she still had to go back to make the Da Zao Pills!
That is what is most important!
"Second Aunt," Chu Qianchen said calmly, "If there is nothing else, your niece will take her leave first."
She was graceful and calm, and walked past her without waiting for Liu's response.
Amber hurriedly followed, feeling relieved: Fortunately, the girl didn't suffer any harm!
No one noticed that there was a silver needle in Chu Qianchen's right hand hidden in her sleeve. The moment she walked past Liu, she picked up the silver needle and pierced her waist, then quickly put it back into her sleeve.
All this happened as fast as lightning.
Chu Qianchen turned his head to look at Liu at the corner ahead, curled his lips, and soon disappeared.
Liu was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling, her face turned pale and blue, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Chu Qianchen, that cheap girl."
"Second... Second Madam." The servant covered her face and looked at Liu timidly.
"Useless thing." Liu scolded angrily.
In the past, she thought that Chu Qianchen from the eldest house was dull and wooden, but it turned out that he was such a cunning person with a kind face but a wicked heart, and he had no rules at all.
Liu gnashed her teeth in hatred and wished she could tear Chu Qianchen to pieces!
"Second Madam, calm down first." Nanny Zhang stroked Liu's chest and advised, "Our Marquis's wife has always been very protective of her. The second young lady just saved the fourth young master yesterday and is in favor. If this angers Madam, I'm afraid it will be the doctor's business..."
Although several doctors asserted that Chu Qianling would be left with a scar, how could Liu be willing to just accept her fate? She always felt that these doctors' medical skills were not good enough. If she could invite a royal physician to see her daughter, maybe there would be hope.
However, even though the Chu family was a marquisate, they could not just invite the imperial physician whenever they wanted. Shen was the eldest daughter of Duke Mu, who was highly respected. In recent years, due to his old age, his health had deteriorated, so the emperor gave him a favor and allowed him to summon the imperial physician. It would be easy to invite the imperial physician to the mansion with Duke Mu's letter.
Liu said stubbornly, "If it weren't for the imperial physician, I would have made that little bitch die a miserable death today."
"I don't know what my sister-in-law is thinking. They are not my biological children, so why should she mind her own business?"
"You're not afraid of raising an ungrateful person in the future!"
The more Liu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"Madam Zhang, please go back to the mansion and help me urge my eldest brother to quickly settle that matter." Liu gritted her teeth and said, "Chu Qianchen, that little bitch, does she think that by destroying Ling Jie'er's face, she can surely become the second prince's concubine?"
"I won't let her have her way!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang smiled knowingly and said, "Madam, are you talking about the third son of the Marquis of Jingyong's mansion?"
This is the "perfect son-in-law" she carefully selected for Chu Qianchen.
Half a month ago, when she heard that the palace was going to choose a concubine for the Second Prince from among several girls, she felt that Chu Qianchen, who looked like a foxy girl, would definitely be the biggest obstacle for her daughter, so she went back to her parents' home and asked her brother and sister-in-law to pick a suitable candidate.
The eldest sister-in-law mentioned the third son of the Marquis of Jingyong.
"It's also my fault for being soft-hearted for a moment..." Liu said coldly.
The third son of Jingyong Bo had a good family background and good looks. Jingyong Bo and his wife did not dare to control him, so they could only ask him to marry a wife and have a child, and then they would never care about him again. Even if he was so angry that he could kill his mother and keep the child, it was fine. Only then did the third son agree to marry.
But after all, he is the son of an uncle, so he cannot marry hastily. He has to choose a girl of equal social status.
Liu's eldest sister-in-law was her cousin in the Jingyong Marquis's mansion, so the Marquis's wife asked her to help with the arrangements.
At this moment, Liu really wished she could go back a few days ago and slap herself. If she had settled the matter at that time, her daughter's face would not have been ruined.
Liu curled her lips coldly, "Send someone to get a purse that Chu Qianchen used."
Now the whole family wants to give Chu Qianchen to the second prince. If there is no "thing" as proof, I'm afraid the mother-in-law will not agree to this marriage.

"I want to see, when the Marquis of Jingyong's mansion comes with a purse to 'propose marriage', will my good sister-in-law still stand up for her, a concubine's daughter?" As she spoke, a cold light flashed in Liu's eyes. Only in this way could she vent her hatred.
"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Zhang responded immediately.
She knew in her heart that if the second girl's surname was not "Chu" and she was her girl's cousin, if she married badly, it would also affect her girl's marriage. The second lady would definitely not be so lucky as to choose such a glamorous marriage for her.
Liu stroked her sleeves carelessly, and finally felt relieved.
"You go now..." As she was speaking, Liu suddenly felt a little pain in her back. She rubbed her lower back with her hands and frowned tightly.
"Second Madam, what's wrong with you?" Nanny Zhang asked nervously.
"My waist feels a little uncomfortable." Liu frowned and said, "Maybe I've been tired recently..." It was fine just now, could it be that I've been standing for too long?
At this moment, she couldn't help but hear Chu Qianchen's words just now: "Look at you, you were walking normally and then you fell flat on the ground. Maybe your back, legs and feet are not in good condition. You should ask a doctor to take a look. Don't be afraid to see a doctor and delay treatment."
Liu cursed, "Crow's Mouth!"
"Send someone to Huichuntang." Liu said while holding back the pain, "Invite Doctor Zhang's wife to come. She'll probably be fine after two injections."
Liu's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, sweat dripped down from her forehead, and she felt a piercing pain in her waist, so painful that she couldn't straighten her back.
Soon, she could no longer stand and leaned against the railing in pain, her face turning pale.
"Second Madam!"
"I will go call the doctor right away!"
The servants were now in a panic, in chaos, with exclamations one after another.
So, Doctor Zhang had just walked out of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion when he was invited back. After learning about Liu's condition, Doctor Zhang quickly asked someone to go back to the clinic to call his wife.
Men and women should not have physical contact. The second lady has a back injury and needs massage and acupuncture, and his wife has to come to do it.
The second house carried Liu back on a sedan chair, and then sent someone to call for a doctor. There was a lot of noise. Not long after Chu Qianchen returned to Wanyan Courtyard, the well-informed maids quickly told Amber to show their loyalty.
While Chu Qianchen was fiddling with the medicinal herbs, preparing them for the nine-steaming and nine-drying process, he let Amber tell her about this as if it were a fun story.
Finally, Amber sighed, "Miss, you are right. The second lady's back, legs and feet are really not good. I heard that she couldn't even walk just now. It was the maid who brought her a sedan chair to carry her back. On the way, the second lady was screaming in pain."
Amber looked at Chu Qianchen with burning eyes, thinking that her own girl was right in her judgment.
