Qian Youxue woke up around noon. These past few days, she had been practicing her martial arts or refining medicine, and she was exhausted every night. She usually woke up around this time every day.
But today I feel weak all over, my lips are dry, and my face is hot. I half-open my eyes and find that my vision is a little blurry, and my head is also a little sore.
Lianxin called out several times but received no response from her mistress. She was about to call Yunhe to check on her when she noticed her mistress's eyelashes flutter. She excitedly exclaimed, "Miss, is Miss awake? Sister Mei'er has come several times already!"
Mei'er? The maidservant by her grandmother's side.
Qian Youxue tried with difficulty to open her eyes fully, but found her eyelids extremely heavy, and then everything went black before she lost consciousness.
"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" Lianxin cried out in fright.
Yunhe was tidying up in the yard when she heard Lianxin shout. She threw down what she was holding and ran in.
Seeing that her mistress was shaking and crying, Lianxin stepped forward and touched her forehead. The burning heat on her forehead made her immediately withdraw her hand.
After a pause, she touched the young lady's hands and other parts of her body and found them to be burning hot. She then took the young lady's pulse and found that it was very weak.
She was fine last night, how did she suddenly get sick?
She considered whether to call a doctor, but worried that her mistress's martial arts practice would be discovered. Torn between these two dilemmas, Lianxin frantically ran outside.
"Alright, Miss's life is more important. We can talk about other things later." She frowned and quickly fetched a basin of water to cool down Miss's fever.
...
Inside the room, the old lady was talking to Qian Bowen, while the others were serving her. Qian Sheng, who had just finished court, had also arrived.
Although her son was thin as a rake, he had finally grown up. Even if he couldn't learn martial arts, it was still good as long as he could leave a lineage for the Qian family.
"It's terrible, Madam! The eldest young lady has fallen ill!" Lianxin rushed in, panting, not noticing that the master was also there.
unlucky!
Seeing that it was Qian Youxue's matter again, Qian Shengjian angrily kicked Lianxin to the ground and started cursing, "You unruly brat, what are you shouting for?"
The old lady, who had been all smiles and filial piety, released Qian Bowen's hand and said with a dark face, "What did this girl do wrong? If you hadn't neglected Youxue, would she be so weak? Mei'er, go to the Hua family's pharmacy and fetch a doctor."
"Yes!" Mei'er bowed and withdrew.
"The doctors at Hua Family Pharmacy are so expensive, that ugly freak is really wasting money." Qian Yingxue complained, and then, with a snap, the room fell silent.
Everyone present stared in astonishment. After regaining their senses, Aunt Liu was about to speak when Qian Muxue tugged at her sleeve and shut her mouth again.
"Over the years, you've always relied on some people to back you up, completely forgetting who you are. Well done, well done!" The old lady came to her senses and instead of scolding Su Shi for her actions, she cheered repeatedly.
Because she felt that her provocation had worked, the previously silent Su family finally made a move.
After the old lady said this, Qian Sheng dared not say anything more and gave Qian Yingxue a wink.
Qian Yingxue was frightened. Seeing that her father didn't dare to say anything, she simply burst into tears.
"Outrageous! Madam Liu, is this the kind of young lady you raised? How can she be so unruly? You..." The old lady paused, noticing that Granny Chen blinked, and continued, "With your lack of discipline, you will surely cause trouble for the Qian family in the future. I'll fine you half a month's wages as a lesson. Are you willing?"
thump!
Aunt Liu knelt down, feeling extremely displeased, but she could only obediently admit her mistake: "Mother's punishment is justified, this lowly concubine accepts the punishment."
"Mu Xue, take your sister downstairs now." Qian Sheng, fearing his mother might have other tricks up her sleeve, quickly spoke up to defuse the situation.
Qian Muxue, understanding the situation, quickly pulled the tearful Qian Yingxue away. Seeing this, the others also made excuses to leave.
