Chapter 58: Concubine in Xiaoxiang Garden
"Sister Lianxiang..."
Yun Qiao stepped forward and shouted.
Lianxiang was quite nice to her. She never bullied her when they lived in Xiaoxiang Garden. On the contrary, she would always help her pick up food during every dinner party.
Even when she lived in the most humble house, she would still be comforted, of course, with some old ideas that comforted her to accept her fate.
Zhang Yuqing arrived earlier than Yun Qiao. When she saw Yun Qiao, the concubine who entered the Marquis' Mansion with her, she knew that Yun Qiao was beautiful but barren. However, this barren woman had now become a concubine.
She is also the Marquis's only concubine.
Zhang Yuqing was extremely angry.
"You still remember to come to Xiaoxiang Garden. I thought you had forgotten about the sisters in Xiaoxiang Garden."
"We were all carried in together, but you became the most favored one. I don't know where you've taken Sister Fang Jia. Yun Qiao, you're really amazing, really amazing..."
The reason why Zhang Yuqing stayed calm and didn't make any noise was that he was worried that he would become the second Fang Jia and that he would be secretly sent out of the Marquis' Mansion.
At first, they were brought in as noble concubines, but after entering the Marquis' inner palace, the status of noble concubines became worthless.
Fang Jia was better off than her, as she was loved by the Marquis for once.
But now she has really become an invisible existence in Xiaoxiang Garden. Even the maids in the kitchen would say something bad when they see her.
Zhang Yuqing was angry, especially after seeing Yun Qiao being so well-fed, he became even angrier.
Yun Qiao had no time to pay attention to Zhang Yuqing, but she was also annoyed when she heard her noisy words.
"Shut up."
Yun Qiao glared at him fiercely, and Zhang Yuqing was frightened by her overly fierce look.
This, this is not the Yun Qiao who didn't dare to say a harsh word to anyone before.
Zhang Yuqing shut up subconsciously.
Yun Qiao looked at Lianxiang lying on the hospital bed and lowered her voice, "Sister Lianxiang, don't worry. I've already sent for a doctor. When he gets here, he'll definitely cure you."
Lianxiang was now more conscious than before. When she saw Yunqiao coming, she smiled faintly.
"Sister Qiao is here too. I was wondering if you would come to Xiaoxiang Garden again..."
Yunqiao stepped forward, raised the pillow, and helped Lianxiang lean against the head of the bed.
"Why wouldn't I come? I'm always thinking about Xiaoxiang Garden."
"Sister Qiao, I was sold into the Marquis' Mansion when I was young. I have been staying there for over ten years and have never been back to my hometown. Could you please take me back to my hometown? I want to go back and take a look."
"I..." Lianxiang said, calling the maid. She said it was a maid, but in fact the maid used to work in the main house. Because she made a mistake, she was punished to guard the gate of Xiaoxiang Garden. But the maid was young and was bullied by the gatekeeper. Lianxiang had to ask someone to bring the maid to her.
"Ah Chun, come and get my money box."
Achun's eyes were already red from crying.
"Don't worry, girl. I'm ready. Everything is here, everything is here..."
Ah Chun opened a worn-out money box, which contained some worthless jewelry, two silk flowers that were still fresh in color, and a few earrings.
"These are some of my private savings, Sister Qiao. I still need to ask you to take care of my affairs after my death."
Lianxiang was originally a maid in the old lady's courtyard. After being sent to the Marquis' courtyard, the Marquis never touched her. Now she is afraid that she is dying. It seems that people who are not remembered by the Marquis will not have a good end. Now she can only fight with her last breath to beg Yunqiao.
Yun Qiao's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Sister Lianxiang, you must never say that."
"Xiaotao, has the doctor arrived?" Yun Qiao shouted anxiously.
Xiao Tao was also worried outside, "Don't worry, Auntie, Qiu Ye has already gone to look for him, but I don't know what happened, and he hasn't come back yet."
After Yun Qiao calmed down, she thought of Gu Heng in Chunhui Garden.
"Xiao Tao, you stay here and watch. Ah Chun, come with me. Let's go and ask for help from the Second Master."
The second master of the Marquis's Mansion was skilled in medicine and had even taken her pulse.
The key point is that the second master of the Marquis' Mansion seems to be a kind-hearted person. If you invite him, I think he will not refuse.
Yun Qiao was also worried, worried that something might really happen to Lianxiang...
When Yun Qiao arrived at Chunhui Garden, Gu Heng had just returned from going out for something. Just as he was about to return to his house, he saw a beautiful figure standing outside the gate of Chunhui Garden.
Before Gu Heng could ask, Yun Qiao saw him and ran over.
"Second Master, Second Master, please help me. There's a concubine in Xiaoxiang Garden who seems to be dying. I just sent a maid to call a doctor, but he hasn't returned yet. I don't know what's going on."
Gu Heng is a doctor, so he naturally cares about his patients.
After hearing Yun Qiao's words, he said, "I'll go with you to take a look."
"Aunt Qiao, don't worry."
Seeing her move of stepping forward and grabbing his arm, even though it was unintentional, Gu Heng felt it was inappropriate. After all, there is a difference between men and women.
"I'm sorry, Second Master, it was Qiao Niang who was a little anxious. Then please come with me to Xiaoxiang Garden."
Gu Heng followed Yun Qiao to Xiaoxiang Garden and took a closer look.
Comfort her by telling her to take good rest and everything will be fine.
"Second Master, please don't lie to me. I know my body very well."
Gu Heng said calmly, "Your illness did cause you to be anxious, but you need to relax and calm down to recuperate."
Maybe I can live a few more days.
After Gu Heng finished speaking, he walked out and Yun Qiao followed him out.
"Second Master, if you have something to say, just say it directly..."
"Let's prepare for her funeral." Gu Heng's face was filled with helplessness. "This is malignant malaria. Her symptoms are already very serious. I'm afraid she will only live for a few days."
malaria?
Yun Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and she felt powerless.
Malaria has been effectively controlled in modern times, but it is still a deadly disease in remote areas, let alone in ancient times.
When she took Achun to see Gu Heng, she asked Achun, and Achun told her that Lianxiang had been having a fever for some time. She had previously gone out to get some medicine, but it had not gotten better. She did not expect that it would develop into this state now...
Perhaps, if this problem had been discovered and solved earlier, it would not have been delayed until now.
"Sending her off with good food and drink, and managing her funeral in a dignified manner, is much better than taking too many medicines."
"Just a living person, is he going to disappear just like that?"
Yun Qiao's tone rose unconsciously.
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had lost her composure, and then she whispered, "I'm sorry, Second Master, it was Qiao Niang who lost her composure, please don't be angry."
Gu Heng was not angry.
His voice softened a little, and he said, "You don't have to apologize to me every time."
"If you need any help from me, just tell me."
It was impossible to save Lianxiang's life, but he could help with financial matters.
"No need to trouble Second Master." Yun Qiao bowed slightly and asked Xiao Tao to send Second Master Gu Heng away.
