Chapter 34 Who to Fight Against
The reason why Liu has been so doted on by her father for so many years is that her greatest specialness is her tolerance. What she shows in front of her father is always the side that he likes and needs the most.
Ever since Qiuhuan became her father's woman, Liu immediately promoted her. Even though she didn't have a formal status yet, she no longer needed her to serve him.
Lu Xiang didn't ask about it on purpose, but she still heard Yunzha and Wuyue whispering in her ears every day.
"Madam Liu prepared a separate room for Qiu Huan to live in, so that she can serve the master when he comes."
"Madam Liu saw that Qiuhuan worked hard to serve the master, so she picked a maid from the Heyuan to serve her, and Qiuhuan did not refuse."
"Today, Qiu Huan asked Aunt Liu for a separate courtyard. Aunt Liu immediately went to ask the master about it. The master didn't care about these matters and let Aunt Liu handle it."
And so on.
Everyone in the mansion was stunned, and they all sighed that Aunt Liu was such a kind person. She was so good to Qiuhuan even though she betrayed them.
With the comparison, some people cursed Qiuhuan for being ruthless. She followed such a good master, but she was still not satisfied. If she served well, wouldn’t it be good for her to marry into a good family and become the main wife in the future?
Some people also wondered, is Aunt Liu really not jealous at all that Qiuhuan climbed into the master's bed behind her back?
But it is undeniable that Liu's magnanimity won more love and affection from Lu Youping.
The boring Lu Mansion suddenly had such a fun thing, and Lu Xiang listened with great interest.
Everyone thought that Liu was generous and virtuous, but she knew how dark this woman's heart was. What Qiu Huan did was simply a slap in the face to her. It would be strange if she could bear it. Just wait and see, who knows what kind of trouble Liu would stir up.

There is a wisteria trellis in the yard. When the wind blows gently, the faint fragrance of flowers fills your nose and is refreshing. The entire wall on the west side of the yard is covered with creepers, which hang down in layers, and the branches and leaves sway in the wind, making the whole yard look full of vitality.
Luochun suddenly came to ask for a meeting. The old lady was annoyed with the people around Liu and didn't want to see him, but she heard Luochun kneeling down at the door and saying:
"Good luck, old lady. Aunt Liu has been ill for several days, but she is unwilling to see a doctor. I have no choice but to ask the old lady to make the decision."
"Where is the master?" asked the old lady.
Liu had been ill for so many days, how could Youping not know? Why didn't he call a doctor or tell Youping but came to ask her to make the decision?
What's wrong with this?
Could it be that he wanted to frame this old woman for making her sick?
Luo Chun continued, "My aunt didn't want to worry the master, so she lied these days that she was not feeling well and couldn't serve the master. But today, my aunt was writhing in pain, and the master was not at home. I was at a loss and could only come to the old lady for help."
"Mother Wen, go get the doctor," said the old lady.
Liu was a concubine. Even though she was very much favored, she could not command the servants in the front yard. But their Lu family did not seem to be so strict as to forbid hiring a doctor. What did Liu mean by this?
Deliberately letting her know that she was sick so as to gain sympathy?
Luo Chun kowtowed to the old lady with gratitude and then left.
…
But when we asked a doctor to see me, he said he couldn't find any symptoms.
Then I changed two more people and they all gave the same excuses.
After hearing about it, the old lady went to the lotus garden in person.
"What's wrong with your aunt?" the old lady asked the maid who was serving her.
The maid replied, "Madam Liu has been complaining of headaches and body aches these days. Yesterday, I found some red spots on her body for no apparent reason."
The old lady was suspicious and went into the house.
Lu Youping was also there, and when Liu showed up, she did see red spots on her arms.
"Sir Lu, I am ashamed that I cannot diagnose the cause of this concubine's illness." The doctor stood up and replied.
The old lady frowned subconsciously when she heard this.
Lu Youping was angry, but he couldn't show it, so he could only hold back his temper and waved to the doctor, asking him to leave.
"Go find another doctor." He just didn't believe it. In such a big city like Yangning, is there no doctor with real skills?
Lu Mingzhu sat by the bed, looking anxiously at the distressed Liu: "Auntie clearly has red spots on her body, and it hurts so much, how come there is no cause for the rash? Could it be that she is possessed by evil spirits?"
She blurted it out subconsciously, as if out of anxiety.
When Lu Xiang heard this, her brows twitched slightly, and in an instant she seemed to have grasped something key.
She seemed to be talking to herself. Lu Xiang's eyebrows jumped when she heard it, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes. For a moment, she seemed to have grasped something, but it flashed away again——
On the carved nanmu Luohan bed, Liu was lying with a painful look on her face, her hands tightly grasping the quilt. When she heard Lu Mingzhu's words, she forced her eyelids open and gently scolded: "Mingzhu, don't talk nonsense. What's the matter with being possessed? You scared everyone."
Lu Mingzhu said with tears in her eyes: "If it's not a ghost, why can't the doctor find the cause?"
She blurted out the words in a hurry, then seemed to realize that it was inappropriate, so she lowered her head.
However, Lu Youping took Lu Mingzhu's words to heart.
Liu's current inexplicable situation really makes people suspicious.
Lu Xiang looked at Liu, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
At this moment she immediately understood what Liu wanted to do.
Possessed?!
Fortunately, the mother and daughter could think of this. Liu is obviously seriously ill and the cause of her illness cannot be found, which makes people think that she has been possessed by evil spirits.
I wonder who Liu is trying to defeat by using such a self-torture tactic?
Yourself?
Lu Xiang looked at Liu who was lying on the bed and humming softly. There was a cold light flashing in his cold eyes, like a glacier that had not melted for thousands of years, freezing every part of a person's body.
Lu Youping turned to look at the old lady and said, "Mom, how about inviting a Taoist priest to perform a ritual?"
It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not!
The old lady believed in Buddhism and had a fear of ghosts and gods. She nodded calmly: "Yes."
"Then my son will ask someone to look for him right away," said Lu Youping.
Wu Yue looked at Lu Xiang worriedly, her eyes full of anxiety and tension.
Miss, could it be that Aunt Liu has set a trap for you again?
Lu Xiang frowned deeply, his mind racing, thinking about the strange things that had happened in recent days.
The only people she could trust now were Yunzha and Wuyue, and they were the only ones who served her closely.
Looking at the silent Lu Xiang, Wu Yue was so anxious that she broke out in a sweat, but she saw Lu Xiang patting her hands, signaling her not to be anxious.
The ink-like eyes carried a captivating aura, the breathtakingly beautiful face was filled with indifference, and the scarlet lips were gently pursed into a cold arc.
Even if he really came here to fight for her, so what?
In this mansion, the old lady loves her dearly and she has a strong backing, so she is not afraid of Liu using any tricks.
Wu Yue's panicked heart gradually calmed down.
She believed in her own lady, blindly.
Less than an hour later, Lu Youping came back: "Mom, the person is back."
The old lady was stunned: "So fast?" Then she stood up from the chair and walked out first.
