Chapter 125 General's Concubine 9
"That's right," the old lady nodded in agreement. "It's rare for a girl like you to have such insights. I can't even say I don't want you to walk so far every day to pay your respects to me."
Jiang Chunxi: "Then I will come to the old lady's place every day from now on. I hope the old lady doesn't find me annoying."
"Haha! Don't worry! I won't find you annoying at all." The old lady laughed heartily and said:
Jiang Chunxi had lunch at the old lady's place, waited for the old lady to take a nap, and then left the old lady's yard with Hongying.
As for Hongying, Jiang Chunxi naturally gave her a token of loyalty.
"How was it? I've been in the old lady's yard for the whole morning. Did you have a good chat with those familiar girls in the yard?" Jiang Chunxi said as she walked:
"Don't worry, Auntie. The sisters in our courtyard who are familiar with me have not become estranged from me just because I left the old lady's courtyard. I will never hinder you in doing what you asked me to do." Hongying said:
Jiang Chunxi wanted to use the old lady to plot against Liu Yaozhu, so naturally she had to make a plan.
Of course, maybe Liu Yaozhu would not let the old lady go at all. In that case, she would not be using the old lady, but saving her.
It's just that she doesn't have much time left in the general's mansion, and she doesn't have time to wait for Liu Yaozhu to slowly plan, so she must provoke Liu Yaozhu, and this is why she has to pay her respects to the old lady every day.
"That's good," Jiang Chunxi said with a smile, "Now we just wait for the young lady to lose her patience. I just hope she won't let me down."
Liu Yaozhu naturally did not disappoint Jiang Chunxi. When she learned that Jiang Chunxi went to pay her respects to the old lady and stayed in the old lady's yard for the whole morning, she hated the old lady to death in her heart.
That old woman of hers is praising a concubine so much, which is clearly an insult to her.
Okay, okay, really good.
It seems that I would be doing her a disservice if I don't send her off to the west.
When Yue Zhen returned home in the evening, the people sent by Liu Yaozhu's courtyard immediately reported to him that the young lady was unwell.
Upon learning that Yaozhu was unwell, Yue Zhen did not even bother to pay his respects to his grandmother and went to see Yaozhu immediately.
Yue Zhen was very filial to the old lady. Whenever he was in the capital, he would go to pay his respects to the old lady after returning from official business every day.
Today was no exception, but when I heard that Liu Yaozhu was not feeling well, I could only go see Yaozhu first and then pay my respects to my grandmother.
When Yue Zhen arrived at the main courtyard, Liu Yaozhu looked haggard and was sitting weakly on the bed drinking medicine.
The whole act was done. Although Liu Yaozhu didn't need to take any medicine at all, she still asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription and then asked someone to get the medicine.
Of course, Liu Yaozhu would not take medicine randomly. The medicine she is taking now is a tonic. Men are unreliable, so naturally she has to take good care of her body.
"Yaozhu, how are you? What's wrong with your body?" Yue Zhen walked up to her and asked worriedly:
Liu Yaozhu turned her face away, unwilling to look at Yue Zhen: "Why did you come to see me? You just became a groom last night, shouldn't you be most concerned about your concubine Jiang now? Why do you still have the heart to come to see me?"
Yue Zhen looked at Biyun who was sitting on the bed, holding a medicine bowl and feeding Liu Yaozhu medicine and said, "Give me the medicine bowl, you go down first!"
"Yes, General." Biyun immediately stood up and handed the medicine bowl to Yue Zhen. Then she glanced at the young lady worriedly and left.
Biyun was not worried about the young lady's health. After all, didn't she know whether the young lady was sick or not?
She was just worried that the young lady's cold words to the general might push the general away. After all, there was now a concubine Jiang. If the young lady treated the general like this, wouldn't it be a perfect opportunity for concubine Jiang to take advantage of the situation?
Alas! I hope the young lady can see things clearly as soon as possible and stop being angry with the general. Otherwise, if she keeps being angry with the general, even the deepest feelings will eventually fade.
Yue Zhen scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew on it, and then fed it to Liu Yaozhu: "Come on, drink it quickly."
"I don't need your fake kindness," Liu Yaozhu said with red eyes, "Yue Zhen, if you really want me to get better soon, then you should disappear from my sight. You know very well that I don't want to see you at all right now. As soon as I see you, I feel even more uncomfortable. But why do you still appear in front of me and pretend to be kind?"
"What is your motive for doing this? Or do you want me, your wife who has lived through thick and thin, to give up my position as the principal wife so that someone else can take over now that you have just found a new partner?"
"Yaozhu, do you really have to be angry with me like this?" Yue Zhen said helplessly, "Saying such angry words will only make both of us feel uncomfortable. What else can it do?"
"Yaozhu, you know clearly in your heart the relationship between us. I understand that you feel bad about me taking a concubine, and I feel very distressed, but can I ask you not to say such angry words anymore?"
Tears fell from Liu Yaozhu's eyes: "I don't want to say such angry words. Just like you said, if I say such angry words, it will only make both of us feel uncomfortable. It's useless at all."
"But I just can't control it!" Liu Yaozhu cried and broke down. "I didn't close my eyes the whole night last night. My tears soaked the pillow. Whenever I thought of you in another woman's bed, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. It hurt so much that it felt like it was being torn apart by a knife."
"So when I saw you, I couldn't help but say bad things to you. It was totally out of my control."
"Yaozhu," Yue Zhen put the medicine bowl aside and hugged Liu Yaozhu distressedly, "It's all my fault, please don't be like this, okay? Seeing you like this is more painful than killing me."
"Wow!" Liu Yaozhu buried her face in Yue Zhen's chest and cried uncontrollably.
But in fact, she was extremely calm. The hatred in her heart made her not at all moved by Yue Zhen's words.
Ever since Yue Zhen betrayed their relationship, Liu Yaozhu would never believe anything he said again.
It was not until a long while later that Liu Yaozhu stopped crying and got up from Yue Zhen's arms: "Give me the medicine! If I don't drink it quickly, it will get cold."
Yue Zhen hurriedly brought the medicine over to feed Liu Yaozhu, but Liu Yaozhu shook her head to refuse. Then she took the bowl of medicine from Yue Zhen's hand and drank it all in one breath.
Yue Zhen quickly took the empty bowl from Liu Yaozhu's hand, and took a candied fruit and put it into Liu Yaozhu's mouth.
Liu Yaozhu put the candied fruit into her mouth, then looked at Yue Zhen and said, "Okay, after crying so hard, I feel much better now, and my body feels much better too. You don't have to stay by my side, go to Aunt Jiang now!"
She didn't want Yue Zhen to stay at all. Whenever she thought about Yue Zhen touching another woman last night, Liu Yaozhu felt extremely disgusted. Therefore, she naturally didn't want to sleep in the same bed with Yue Zhen.
