Chapter 338: The Gentle-Looking Maid with a Serious Heart
It seems that Liu Leqing really hates me, and his eyes show that he wants to kill me.
If eyes could turn into knives, then Liu Leqing would definitely be cut into pieces.
Chu Yunzhi, who was standing by, looked at Liu Leqing with concern and asked softly, "How are you? Is your health improving? Why did you suddenly get sick? The doctor said it was because of the evil wind that entered your body and caused you to catch a cold."
When Liu Leqing listened to Chu Yunzhi's concerned words, tears instantly filled her eyes.
"I'm fine. I just forgot to close the window when I went to bed last night, so I caught a cold."
She did not mention being frightened by Qiu Rong's death.
After all, Qiu Rong's death was closely related to Liu Leqing. If she hadn't kicked Qiu Rong and sent Qiu Rong to the alley outside the Chu Mansion to recuperate, Qiu Rong would not have died outside.
Even if Liu Leqing did not intend to murder Qiu Rong, she could be considered the indirect murderer of Qiu Rong.
Ah Zhi knelt down and bowed to Liu Yueqing, saying, "I pay my respects to the Grandmother."
Originally Liu Leqing was going to ignore Ah Zhi, but Chu Yunzhi naturally helped Ah Zhi up and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, get up quickly."
"Your great grandmother is ill and may not have noticed you."
Seeing Chu Yunzhi jump over him and help Azhi up, Liu Leqing's alarm bells rang.
She didn't show any displeasure on her face, and nodded with a smile, saying, "Yes, sister, you're welcome. Wait until I get better, and then I'll set up a few tables to have a good time."
Before the concubine banquet was held, the Chu family had already changed the way they addressed Ah Zhi, from girl to concubine.
This made Liu Leqing feel very uncomfortable, but she still suppressed the bitterness in her heart and acted virtuous and generous.
Of course, Azhi could see Liu Leqing's bitterness and jealousy, but she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she smiled shyly like a bride about to marry.
"Thank you, grandma."
Azhi said softly.
After thanking Liu Leqing, Azhi shyly looked at Chu Yunzhi again, her eyes full of tenderness and affection.
Chu Yunzhi also looked back at her, and their eyes met. For a moment, the atmosphere became particularly ambiguous, as if the air around them was filled with an indescribable warmth.
Liu Leqing felt heartbroken as he watched the scene in front of him. He clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, and the pain and anger in his heart were intertwined.
They were flirting with each other so unscrupulously in front of me, which simply showed that they didn't take me seriously.
If I weren't lying here today, would the two of them have already rolled onto my bed impatiently?
Thinking of this, Liu Leqing's mood became even heavier, and tears couldn't help but well up in his eyes.
The more Liu Leqing thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but started coughing.
The violent coughing brought Chu Yunzhi back to his senses and he looked at her with concern.
"Are you okay?"
fine?
How could it be okay?
Liu Leqing only felt a ball of burning anger in her heart, which seemed to ignite her whole body.
She stared at the two people in front of her with wide eyes, her eyes full of resentment and dissatisfaction.
Chu Yunzhi's attitude made her very angry. He obviously paid special attention and care to Azhi, which was completely different from the treatment given to other concubines.
This made Liu Leqing feel deeply uneasy because she realized that her position was threatened.
She couldn't sit idly by any longer. If she allowed things to continue, she was worried that she would eventually lose her position as the legal wife.
Azhi was keenly aware of Liu Leqing's hostility towards her, but she did not show it and just stood aside silently.
She knew that her situation was not easy and she needed to handle it with caution.
There was a hint of resentment in Liu Leqing's eyes, but she lowered her head to quickly hide her inner anger.
All of this did not escape Azhi's eyes. She could clearly feel Liu Leqing's malice towards her.
Liu Leqing suddenly coughed a few times, then reached out and grabbed Chu Yunzhi's sleeve, pretending to be weak.
"Husband, can you have dinner with me today? You haven't stayed in the main courtyard for a long time."
She deliberately put on a pitiful look, hoping to arouse Chu Yunzhi's sympathy and attention.
But Azhi secretly laughed in her heart and sneered at Liu Leqing's behavior.
Although Liu Leqing was Chu Yunzhi's legal wife, her behavior revealed the petty style of a concubine.
She always lowered her status to please Chu Yunzhi, and even went so far as to violate moral ethics and do some unacceptable things just to win Chu Yunzhi's favor.
She disregarded her own identity and status and actually dressed as a man to learn how to act. This behavior was simply a degradation of her own status.
When there were no real concubines, Liu Leqing's freshness was naturally useful.
After all, at that time, Chu Yunzhi still needed someone who could bring him fun and excitement.
But the situation is different now. After Azhi became a concubine, what the mansion lacks is not a wife who can bring freshness, but a virtuous wife who can manage the housework.
