“You’ve been led astray by Second Lady Gu. You’ve become so disobedient!”
Second Madam Lu became more and more agitated as she scolded. Granny Yang looked at Second Madam Lu worriedly and then at Lu Qin. She wanted to persuade her, but she didn’t know how to. This mother and daughter were both stubborn.
When Lu Qin heard her mother say that she was the one who agreed to the marriage, she was a little ashamed. However, when her mother scolded Gu Yanfei, Lu Qin frowned deeply and retorted,
“Mom, don’t misinterpret Yanfei’s good intentions!”
“I made a promise regarding the marriage, but when I picked a fruit and took a bite, 1 discovered it was rotten and infested with worms. Shouldn’t I be allowed to spit it out? Must I swallow the rotten fruit?”
As she spoke, she suddenly felt a little dizzy. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but she forced herself not to show her discomfort.
When Second Madam Lu heard her daughter compare the Hua family to rotten fruits, she became even angrier and said sternly, “Look at you, what are you saying! You’re clearly blinded by lard!”
“Men, drag the Third Miss away…”
A few old women guarding outside heard the commotion and approached Lu Qin.
Lu Qin only regretted that she didn’t bring a handy weapon. She raised her neck and straightened her body. “Who dares to touch me? Don’t blame me for being rude!”
She felt even more dizzy, and her throat was burning. When she spoke, it was as if there was a fire burning again. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Forget it, I can’t talk to Mother anymore. I should go to Jingxin Nunnery to look for Grandma.
The few old women didn’t dare disobey Second Madam Lu’s instructions and continued to approach Lu Qin.
One of the old women reached out to grab Lu Qin and said, “Third Miss, don’t make things difficult for me…”
On the other hand, Lu Qin quickly grabbed the old woman’s wrist and pushed her, causing the two old women to collide.
Lu Qin took advantage of their daze and rushed out of the house…
This scene completely angered Second Madam Lu, and her voice became even sharper. “Stop her!”
Lu Qin, who had already rushed to the door, felt her vision blur and the world spin. It was as if all the strength in her body had been sucked away, and she staggered.
An old woman hurriedly grabbed Lu Qin’s hand and wanted to persuade her. “Third Miss…”
She wanted to persuade her, but before she could finish, Lu Qin’s eyes rolled back and she fell straight down.
“Third Miss!”
The other maidservants and old women beside her also saw it and cried out involuntarily. Two old women supported the collapsed Lu Qin. Even Second Madam Lu ran towards her daughter worriedly, calling her name repeatedly, her voice trembling.
“Second Madam, Third Miss has fainted. She has a fever!”
“Quick, get a doctor!”
“Hurry up and carry the Third Miss into the inner room…”
As Lu Qin fainted, the room was in a tizzy.
Lu Qin had a high fever. She had called a doctor and drunk medicine, but her fever still didn’t subside.
The next day, not only did her fever not subside, but it also became worse and worse. She was also unconscious.
Because Wei Jiaoniang didn’t receive news from Lu Qin, she was burning with anxiety. Calculating that the day was about to arrive at the Hua family’s house, she decided to make a trip to Duke Chang’an’s Mansion. Only then did she know that Lu Qin was sick, and very serious. The Lu family had already invited many doctors.
Worried about Lu Qin, Wei Jiaoniang personally went to the Gu Mansion and invited Gu Yanfei to Duke Chang’an’s Mansion.
Wei Jiaoniang would come to play with Lu Qin every few days and often came and went. The gatekeeper of the Duke’s Mansion was also familiar with her, so he directly asked the old woman to lead her and Gu Yanfei to Lu Qin’s courtyard.
Second Madam Lu was also there. Compared to two days ago, she looked a little haggard. There were faint dark shadows in her eye sockets. Clearly, she hadn’t rested well last night.
When she saw Wei Jiaoniang, Second Madam Lu greeted her politely, “Jiaoniang, you’re so considerate to specially come to visit Qin’er.”
“Auntie, how’s Ah Qin?” Wei Jiaoniang asked with concern. “I heard from the doorkeeper that she has a high fever.”
“She caught a chill from the evening breeze two nights ago, which led to a fever. The physician from Rejuvenation Hall has already prescribed medication, and she has taken three doses,” Second Madam Lu forced a smile. “However, the fever hasn’t subsided yet, and she’s currently resting inside.”
“It’s fine.”
She looked a little tired, but she wasn’t too worried about her daughter. After all, everyone had headaches and fevers.
Of course, she also saw Gu Yanfei, who was with Wei Jiaoniang. Seeing that the other party was beautiful and was a rare beauty, she took a few more glances and felt that this girl seemed familiar.. She casually asked, “This lady is…”
