After the female supporting role is quickly put on, she is full of charm

Chapter 334: The Gentle-Looking Maid with a Serious Heart

After hearing this, Mrs. Chu rolled her eyes fiercely and snorted with disdain.

Her tone was full of dissatisfaction and reproach. "Okay, since you said so, I naturally can't force you to let Ling Zhang become your concubine."

"But I have to ask your brother and sister-in-law about this matter and see what they think about it."

Then Madam Chu looked at Liu Leqing sharply and said pointedly, "This Miss Liu is so majestic as the wife, but she actually asked the concubine to serve her tea with boiling hot water. This is really unheard of in the whole capital."

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing directly into Liu Leqing's heart, making her face turn pale as paper in an instant.

If the news of her torturing Ah Zhi today were to spread, the whole capital would know that Liu Leqing was jealous. Jealousy was one of the seven grounds for divorce, not to mention that she had no children...

It would be fine if she didn't give birth to Chu Yunzhi's child, but if she was accused of jealousy, she would be stabbed in the back.

Sometimes Madam Chu felt that Liu Leqing was a fool.

Liu Leqing's lips trembled slightly, and she knelt down involuntarily, shaking her head and shouting aggrievedly, "Mother, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that your daughter-in-law is deliberately trying to harm Ling Zhang?"

Although he was very flustered, Liu Leqing still stiffened his neck and refused to admit his mistake.

Old Madam Chu stared at Liu Leqing quietly, her eyes revealing a majesty that could see through everything, until Liu Leqing felt his whole body tremble slightly.

Finally, Madam Chu spoke calmly, "Do you think what you are saying now still has any meaning? You should know best whether you have done it or not."

"Don't think that your methods can conceal everything and leave no trace. Don't rush to refute it."

After hearing this, Liu Leqing was completely speechless.

If this matter really came to the Liu family, she would definitely be severely criticized by her brother and sister-in-law.

She has always attached great importance to her image and reputation, and has been working hard to maintain this decency over the years.

If this matter were to become public now, her reputation might be seriously damaged.

Liu Leqing felt helpless and aggrieved, but he didn't dare to show it.

She lowered her head and said in a dull voice, "I understand. No matter what, it was my main courtyard that had an incident today. Sister Lingzhang has suffered. As for the concubine's affairs, I will leave it to my mother to decide."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chu finally showed a satisfied smile on her face.

She nodded in agreement, then turned to Nanny Wang and said softly, "Okay, go help Grandma up."

Then Madam Chu said to Liu Leqing, "Okay, go back and copy the Buddhist scriptures and send them over. Your face looks gray, so I guess you didn't get enough rest."

Two hours had passed since Liu Leqing started grinding nearby.

Since she hadn't slept all night, her face naturally looked dull and gray.

After hearing what Mrs. Chu said, Liu Leqing could only nod and leave the room full of resentment.

Watching Liu Leqing's departing figure, Nanny Wang couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Old Madam, why did you have to personally come forward for the matter of Grandma and Ling Zhang? What if you offend Grandma because of this?"

In the early years, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law would be at loggerheads with each other, but in the past two years, Mrs. Chu rarely had conflicts with Liu Leqing.

For some reason, Old Madam Chu has started to target Liu Leqing again.

In fact, Liu Leqing is Madam Chu's official daughter-in-law after all. If the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is not harmonious, life will be difficult for everyone.

Old Madam Chu looked at the Buddhist scriptures she had copied, rubbed her forehead and said lightly.

"Do you really think that I can achieve family harmony by keeping things quiet? Liu Leqing has long been resentful of me."

"I am not angry today because of Ling Zhang, but because I warned her last night not to do anything small, but she didn't take my words seriously at all, so I have to teach her a lesson."

"By the way, promoting Ling Zhang to a concubine is a big deal. We need to prepare a few banquets and invite relatives and friends to celebrate together."

Liu Leqing originally thought that letting Azhi become a concubine was a compromise.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chu was actually planning to hold a good party for Ah Zhi, which made Liu Leqing very angry. After returning to the main courtyard, he got very angry again.

Chu Yunzhi did not come to the main courtyard to visit Liu Leqing for three consecutive days, and stayed in Yilan Courtyard every day to accompany Azhi.

When Liusu was clumsy, Chu Yunzhi personally applied medicine and bandaged Azhi's wound.

Since Chu Yunzhi often did not go to the main courtyard, Liu Leqing became very anxious.

Qiu Rong had been moved out of the Chu family to recuperate, and there was no one in the main courtyard who could persuade Liu Leqing.

Chunhua is busy serving Liu Leqing during the day, and will take care of Qiurong when she has time.

As Qiu Rong's health deteriorated, Chunhua's loyalty to Chu Yunzhi was no longer what it used to be.

However, after calming down for a few days, Liu Leqing finally figured it out. The reason she had been reluctant to ask Chu Yunzhi for help was simply because she didn't want to bow her head.

Thinking of what Chu Yunzhi said to him that day, Liu Leqing felt like needles stabbing his heart.

She didn't think she had done anything wrong. Why did Chu Yunzhi say those words to her?

However, as Chu Yunzhi spent more and more time at Yilanyuan, Liu Leqing began to feel a sense of crisis.

That day, Azhi was sitting in the yard, and Chu Yunzhi was carefully treating her wound.

In fact, the wound on Azhi's hand healed quickly, thanks to the ointment that Chu Yunzhi paid the imperial physician to prescribe.

This ointment not only accelerates wound healing, but also has an analgesic effect.

Every day, Chu Yunzhi would personally change the dressing for Azhi, his eyes full of concern and heartache.

When Liu Leqing entered the yard, he happened to see Chu Yunzhi gently applying medicine to Azhi.

He gently lifted Azhi's hand and carefully applied the ointment, as if he was protecting a precious treasure.

Chu Yunzhi's face, as clear as the breeze and bright as the moon, showed forbearance, and he moved cautiously for fear of hurting Ah Zhi.

His eyes were focused and affectionate, as if the whole world only had the two of them.

Liu Leqing clenched the handkerchief in her hand and her heart skipped a beat. The scene before her told her that her husband had been taken away by someone else.

Her heart felt as if it was being gnawing at by millions of ants, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.

If Liu Leqing hadn't still had some rationality in his mind, he would have rushed forward to separate the two.

There was one more person in the yard, but neither Azhi nor Chu Yunzhi noticed it.

They were immersed in each other's world, completely ignoring everything around them, until Liu Leqing spoke, they woke up from their dream.

Liu Leqing stepped forward with an unpleasant expression and bowed, "Master."

Her voice was trembling, and she was obviously trying hard to control her emotions.

When he heard Liu Leqing's voice, Chu Yunzhi looked up at her.

Liu Leqing had a look of grievance on his face, his eyes were red and tears were sparkling in his eyes, he looked like he had suffered a lot of injustice.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Chu Yunzhi lowered his head without feeling distressed and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chu Yunzhi had been unhappy about Lian Qiao's incident back then. Liu Leqing was indeed Chu Yunzhi's wife, but his childhood sweetheart Lian Qiao was like his own sister.

Chu Yunzhi has no romantic feelings for Lian Qiao, but that doesn't mean he can just watch her die.

Liu Leqing's actions stepped on his minefield, but Liu Leqing's subsequent handling made Chu Yunzhi believe that she did not mean it.

He chose to give her a chance since there was no evidence to prove that it was Liu Leqing who did it.
