Chapter 115
As she spoke, she knelt down in front of Lu Zhaozhao and kowtowed several times, saying, "I have been serving you since I was a child. You are my lady, and whatever you do is what I should do."
She spoke very skillfully, recounting past affections and expressing her loyalty.
Seeing her as obedient and well-behaved as always, Lu Zhaozhao nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, get up. Stay in your room for the next few days and don't come out. Don't let outsiders see your face and think I'm not a kind master."
Hong Guo heard her words and stammered, "Yes, Miss."
After watching Hong Guo leave, Lu Zhaozhao gently raised her hand and wrote a few large words on the paper on the table. "Bear humiliation and wait for the day to come. There will always be a time to avenge the past."
After finishing writing, she put the brush into the pen holder on the table, picked up the paper, and looked at it with satisfaction.
…………
Luo Shuiyao didn't know that someone was plotting behind her back, trying to avenge her previous humiliation, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care, because... she had already taken action first.
At night, everything is quiet. The moon seems to be shyly hiding in the dark clouds, making the night even darker and pitch black.
Luo Shuiyao heard a loud noise in her sleep. She suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, put on a coat, put on her shoes, and went to the yard.
At this time, Zhuangzi had already dressed neatly and was standing in the courtyard, looking towards the next door. Seeing Luo Shuiyao coming out, he bowed and said, "Miss."
Luo Shuiyao waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, then turned to look at the yard next door, only to hear bursts of noise coming from next door, including roars, sounds of things being smashed, as well as crying and panicked shouts.
Dujuan and the others had also put on their clothes by this time, and were all looking towards the next room curiously.
Nanny Zhang walked a few steps and stood at the foot of the wall. She stood on tiptoe and looked towards the next door. Then she turned to look at Luo Shuiyao and said, "Miss, I wonder what happened in Qiuli Garden. How about I go over and take a look?"
Luo Shuiyao nodded and said, "Okay, you go and take a look. If you need any help, please help me. I'll go wash up first."
Nanny Zhang nodded in agreement, then turned around, picked up a lantern, and walked quickly towards the next yard.
Luo Shuiyao turned around and called Dujuan and Chuntao to come in and help her wash up.
Du Juan and the other servant were extremely deft and quick, and in a short while they had braided Luo Shuiyao's hair and dressed her. The master and servant then left the house.
Zhuangzi and Chunxing had been standing in the yard, listening to the noises coming from next door. When Zhuangzi saw Luo Shuiyao coming out, he whispered, "Miss, would you like me to come with you?"
Luo Shuiyao waved her hand, "No need. You and Chun Xing can just wait for us in the courtyard. I'll go check it out after Aunt Zhang comes back and understands the situation."
Zhuangzi wanted to say something more, but Chunxing beside him pulled his sleeve.
Chun Xing shook her head at him, signaling him not to say anything more. After spending some time with the young lady, Chun Xing had a rough idea of her personality: she was extremely stubborn and unwavering in her decisions. Once she made them, she would not change them.
Zhuangzi pursed his lips slightly, thinking that this was the marquis's mansion and there shouldn't be any danger, so he gave up the idea of following them.
…………
At that moment, in Qiuli Courtyard, Lu Zhaozhao looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was red and swollen, her eyes were almost slits, and she could hardly see clearly. Her hands were even more swollen, covered with dense rashes. She looked at her pig-like self in the mirror and finally couldn't help crying out loud.
Nanny Chu was at a loss beside Lu Zhaozhao. She wanted to comfort her, but was afraid that her acute illness would infect her. She could only shout at the maids and servants beside her: "Are you all dead? Move that mirror down quickly!"
The maids huddled together in fear, suppressing their fear and carrying the mirror off the table.
When Lu Zhaozhao heard Nanny Chu's voice, she turned around and threw herself into her arms, sobbing and muttering, "This is not me, this is not me, what is this? This is not me."
Nanny Chu felt her whole body become extremely stiff in an instant. She wanted to avoid her very much. After all, the young lady looked scary, and she didn't know if this acute illness would be transmitted to her. But she was also afraid that the young lady would attack her after she got better.
Helpless, he could only bite the bullet and hug her stiffly, whispering to her in comfort, "Miss, don't be afraid. I've already sent for the Marquis and his wife. Once they call the doctor, you'll definitely get better soon."
…………
Hong Guo, who was sent to call people, hurried all the way and ran towards Minghua Hall in a hurry.
By this time, the Marquis's wife had already gone to bed, and the door to Minghua Hall was tightly closed. Hongguo ran to Minghua Hall and pushed the door, but it wouldn't open. She banged on it anxiously, shouting, "Open the door! Madam, help!"
The Marquis' wife woke up from her dream and shouted in panic, "What's going on? Madam Sang, look and see what's happening outside."
Nanny Sang had already heard the noise and had dressed herself swiftly. Hearing Madam's words, she replied, "Madam, don't worry. I'll go check it out right away."
The maid beside her picked up a lantern and followed her. Madam Sang ran towards the door and asked, "Who is it?"
Hong Guo's sobbing voice came from outside the door: "Madam, it's this servant, please save my young lady."
Nanny Sang quickly opened the door and saw Hongguo standing at the door with a face full of anxiety and tears, messy hair and untidy clothes. It was obvious that she had hurried in with just some clothes thrown on.
When Hongguo saw that it was Madam Sang who opened the door, her knees buckled and she fell to the ground. "Madam Sang, please, Madam, please save my young lady. She's... she's suddenly become terrifying for some reason. Her whole body is red and swollen, she can barely see, and her hands are covered in rashes."
When Madam Sang heard this, her expression changed. She quickly turned around and shouted to the maidservant beside her, "Hurry up and go to the gatehouse and have them send someone to harness the horses and fetch Doctor Hua. Remember, you have to move quickly."
When the maid heard this, her heart tightened and she quickly responded, then ran out in a hurry with the lantern in her hand.
After thinking for a moment, she said to another maid, "Go to the study quickly and explain the situation to the Marquis, then come back and reply as soon as possible."
The maid nodded and rushed into the night.
Nanny Sang arranged everything and patted Hongguo's shoulder soothingly. Hongguo looked at her with red eyes, then nodded with relief.
After comforting Hongguo, Nanny Sang turned and walked towards the courtyard. She wanted to report to the Madam first. No one knew better than her how much Miss Lu meant to the Madam. Although the Madam had some estrangement towards Miss Lu, the importance she held in her heart was not something that ordinary people could compare to. She dared not delay such a matter.
