Chapter 340: The Gentle-Looking Maid with a Serious Heart

Just as Chunhua was lost in thought, Liu Leqing's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Fu'er was helping Liu Leqing to stand up and personally handed her the medicine she wanted to drink.

Liu Leqing held the medicine in his hand and looked at Chunhua beside him, his eyes full of inquiry, as if he wanted to hear about Qiu Rong from Chunhua.

Seeing Liu Leqing's expression of seeking peace of mind, Chunhua stepped forward and knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes. She said in a choked voice, "Thank you for your concern, Grandma. If Qiu Rong knew about this in the afterlife, she would definitely be very happy."

"but……"

Chunhua hesitated for a moment but continued, "But Qiu Rong's funeral was not done properly. The rope broke when the coffin was lowered into the ground. If it hadn't been fastened with coffin nails, Qiu Rong's body would have fallen out."

After Chunhua finished speaking, she began to sob. Liu Leqing was about to drink the medicine, but when he heard what Chunhua said, he was stunned and almost dropped the bowl in his hand.

The coffin fell?

Could it be that the resentment was too deep?

Liu Leqing has been having nightmares these past two days. In the dreams, Qiu Rong's face was pale and bloodless, and she looked like a ghost.

Now that she heard Chunhua mention that Qiu Rong was still restless after her death, Liu Leqing felt a chill rising from her spine, making her whole body cold.

She looked around in horror, always feeling that something was moving in the house. The feeling became stronger and stronger, and she could no longer ignore it.

She was holding the medicine and looking around, and she seemed to have an extra breathing sound in the room.

"Grandma?"

Chunhua's low voice rang out in the room, and Liu Leqing trembled violently all over.

She actually threw the whole bowl of soup away.

"boom!"

With a crisp sound of shattering, the medicine splashed everywhere and a pungent smell filled the air.

"It's not me. Don't look for me. This has nothing to do with me. I didn't hurt you..."

Liu Leqing's voice was filled with obvious fear and trembling, as if he had seen something terrible.

Fu'er, who was standing aside, was pushed by Liu Leqing and almost fell to the ground, with a look of fear on his face.

Liu Leqing shrank under the quilt and trembled in fear, like a frightened rabbit hiding in its nest to seek a sense of security.

Seeing this, Chunhua hurried forward to help Fu'er up and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, Grandma might be frightened. As long as we explain it to her properly, she should be able to recover soon."

Fu'er looked at the bulging quilt on the bed, as if she wanted to say something, but Chunhua's eyes stopped her in time.

Chunhua knew in her heart that Liu Leqing was not just a little frightened at this moment.

Looking at her current appearance, it was obvious that she had been extremely frightened and was overly terrified.

Fu'er finally chose to believe Chunhua, so he didn't rush forward.

Thinking of the maids' description of the tragic scene of Qiu Rong's death, Liu Leqing almost shook like a sieve and could not control his body.

The image of Qiu Rong spitting blood and demanding death appeared in front of him.

Chunhua looked at Liu Leqing's frightened expression in front of her with indifference. She knew very well in her heart that only those with a guilty conscience would be frightened like this by her calling out "Grandma".

Chunhua looked at Liu Leqing, who was curled up in the quilt and didn't move, and wondered how this person could be scared to death so easily?

You know, the evil can live for a thousand years.

At this time, Fu'er looked at Chunhua nervously and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister Chunhua, there is no movement from Grandma. Could something have really happened?"

Chunhua secretly laughed in her heart, thinking that this person was not that fragile, how could he be frightened to death so easily?

If it were really that easy to scare people to death, it would be too simple.

Chunhua secretly thought that if she could scare Liu Leqing to death so easily, then she wouldn't have to do it herself and dirty her hands.

Chunhua calmed down, turned around and glared at Fu'er, then whispered, "Shut up, what are you talking about? How could the grandmother die? She might have just fainted from fear."

Although Chunhua scolded Fuer for talking nonsense, she actually wished Liu Leqing would die.

If Liu Leqing was frightened to death so easily, she wouldn't have to worry about how to avenge Qiu Rong.

Fu'er was scolded by Chunhua so much that he dared not say a word. He could only stand aside with his head down.

Chunhua walked forward, gently lifted the quilt, and carefully observed Liu Leqing's condition.

Liu Leqing's face was as pale as paper, and his chest was heaving slightly. It was obvious that he had fainted.

Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Fu'er and said, "Grandma just fainted. Go get a basin of clean water and help me wipe her body."

Perhaps because he was frightened just now and broke out in a cold sweat, there was still a thin layer of sweat on Liu Leqing's face.

Chunhua thought that this time she was really scared and even broke out in a cold sweat.

The sunlight shone into the room through the window lattice. Liu Le opened his eyes drowsily, feeling extremely sore all over.

She rubbed her temples, trying to ease the stinging.

Last night's dream came back like a tide, leaving her with lingering fears.

In her dream, she was haunted by countless evil spirits and couldn't break free. Qiu Rong's face was twisted and hideous and covered in blood.

Liu Leqing could only watch her pounce on him and tear him apart.

Liu Le's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and his voice was as weak as a mosquito.

"It's not me... It's really not me... It has nothing to do with me... I'm sorry..."

She hugged the quilt tightly, as if it was the only thing that could give her a sense of security.

Suddenly a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

Chunhua came in with a bowl of steaming chicken soup, placed it carefully on the table, and then looked at Liu Le with concern.

"Grandma, you haven't eaten anything all day. This is not good for your health."

Chunhua said softly, her tone full of worry.

She pointed at the chicken soup on the table and continued, "This is the chicken soup that the old lady had sent over. Grandma, have some to fill your stomach."

Liu Le looked at the bowl of golden chicken soup and a tempting aroma wafted into her nose, but she had no appetite.

Especially when she learned that the soup was sent by Old Madam Chu, she felt a trace of disgust in her heart.

She still remembered how Old Madam Chu had forced Chu Yunzhi to take a concubine. Although she did not show any dissatisfaction on the surface, she had already developed resistance to Old Madam Chu deep in her heart.

Seeing that Liu Le was silent, Chunhua thought she was still immersed in grief, so she comforted her softly, "Grandma, since it has already happened, it will be useless for you to blame yourself."

"You'd better take good care of yourself. After all, you are still the grandmother of the Chu family."

As she spoke, she gently stroked Liu Leqing's hand, hoping to give her some warmth and strength.

Faced with Chunhua's earnest persuasion, Liu Leqing remained unmoved.

The scene of Chu Yunzhi doting on Ah Zhi kept appearing in her mind. Coupled with the fact that Old Madam Chu was deliberately making things difficult for her, the hatred in her heart grew stronger.

Liu Leqing suddenly turned his head, looked at Chunhua with cold eyes and said indifferently, "I don't want to drink it, take it away quickly."

"This is the chicken soup that the old woman sent specially. Who knows if she added anything else to it? I guess she's eager for me to make room for that bitch."

Her voice became louder and louder, as if she wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Chunhua looked at Liu Leqing helplessly. She looked sleepy just now, but now she became energetic because of insulting Old Madam Chu.

Chunhua couldn't help but glance at the curtain not far away, then lowered her voice to remind Liu Leqing, "Grandma, you'd better keep your voice down..."

At this moment, Liu Leqing was talking excitedly and ignored Chunhua's reminder.

She continued loudly, "Keep your voice down? Why should I keep my voice down? This is the main courtyard, not the Shoukang Courtyard. She can't control me!"

Seeing that Liu Leqing was getting more and more excited, Chunhua interrupted Liu Leqing again and shouted anxiously, "Grandma!"

Liu Leqing frowned unhappily and glared at Chunhua, scolding, "What on earth do you want to do? Do you want to rebel too?"

Under Chunhua's desperate hints, Liu Leqing finally noticed Nanny Wang standing not far away.

She was stunned for a moment, and even the handkerchief in her hand could not help but slip out.

Her eyes moved quickly, and she realized that something was wrong, so she quickly changed her attitude and pretended to be weak.

Then Liu Leqing started coughing violently, as if he was very ill.

After hearing the sound, Chunhua quickly put down the chicken soup in her hand, quickly walked to the bedside, gently stroked Liu Leqing's back, and helped her calm down.

The whole room was filled with Liu Leqing's violent coughing.

Chunhua kept patting Liu Leqing's back, hoping to relieve her discomfort.

When Nanny Wang saw that she had been discovered, she took the initiative to step forward and kneel before Liu Leqing.

"The old lady forgot that the great grandmother didn't like chicken soup, but this chicken soup is a token of the elders' love after all, and the old lady dare not add anything to the chicken soup casually."

"I just added some nourishing ingredients. Grandma is feeling better now. I think her illness has damaged her blood and qi. It's just right for her to drink some nourishing soup to nourish her body."

Nanny Wang didn't expect Liu Leqing to be so abusive in private. Even though she had known that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not get along, she never expected Liu Leqing to be so bold.

Such ugly dirty words came out of Liu Leqing's mouth, which made Wang Ma's eyes a little gloomy.

No matter how hypocritical Madam Chu was, she did show her concern. I didn't expect Liu Leqing to be so ungrateful.

Having said that, Liu Leqing also understood what Nanny Wang meant, so she stopped coughing and nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

"Yes, this chicken soup is a gift from my mother. I was half asleep just now and said some nonsense. I will drink it right away."

Seeing that Liu Leqing was so eager to make amends that he even ignored the boiling hot chicken soup and drank it all in one gulp, Nanny Wang nodded with satisfaction.

Perhaps because he was too anxious, Liu Leqing accidentally choked on the chicken soup and started coughing violently, even coughing up tears.

She wiped away the tears from her eyes with her hands, then looked at Nanny Wang with red eyes and said softly, "Please say hello to my mother for me, and tell her that this chicken soup tastes so delicious. I like it very much. Just now..."

Liu Leqing hoped that Nanny Wang could help her cover it up so that her previous words would not reach the ears of Old Madam Chu.

But Nanny Wang smiled and answered firmly, "Don't worry, Madam. I will tell you everything I see and hear."

This sentence clearly shows that Nanny Wang will not help Liu Leqing hide anything.

There was a hint of embarrassment on Liu Leqing's face, but he nodded and tried to remain calm.

"Okay, Nanny Wang, please walk slowly. I won't see you off any further."

After Nanny Wang left the room, Liu Leqing raised his hand angrily and threw the empty bowl to the ground.

She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, and found that the tip of her tongue felt numb. She realized that her panic just now might have damaged her tongue.

She glared at Chunhua, her tone full of undisguised reproach.

"Chunhua, are you a pig? You are my maid. You showed up in the room like this, and you didn't even give me a hint. You just watched me say those words that could be easily misunderstood?"

"What a useless thing! If Qiu Rong were here, she would definitely not be as dull as you. She would remind me in advance to pay attention to my words and actions."

Only then did Liu Leqing remember Qiu Rong's kindness, while Chunhua lowered his head with a look of terrified expression.

In fact, she had already bitten her back teeth to pieces, wishing she could rush up and bite Liu Leqing's neck.

How could she still have the nerve to mention Qiu Rong?

If Liu Leqing hadn't killed Qiu Rong, how could so many things have happened?

Chunhua quickly admitted her mistake, "I know I was wrong, please calm down, Madam."

Liu Leqing felt exhausted all over, so he immediately lay down on the bed, covered his forehead with his hands and waved impatiently.

"Okay, go out. I need to have a good rest."

"Yes."

Chunhua slowly walked out from behind the screen, came to the incense burner, and cleaned the ashes in the burner with her own hands.

It turns out that Liu Leqing's nightmares every night were caused by the incense burner, and Chunhua just wanted to make Liu Leqing suffer.

Chunhua added a spice into the incense burner. There was nothing wrong with the smell of this spice at first, but if a highly nervous person smelled it, it would easily cause insomnia and excessive thinking.

He would have nightmares at night. He would dream about whatever he was afraid of. It was obvious that Liu Leqing was afraid of the dead Qiu Rong.

Similarly, if you are a person who has not done anything wrong, you will not have scary dreams at night.

That night, Liu Leqing had a nightmare again, and was tormented by it every night and could not sleep well.

Her mental state became worse and worse, and her weight dropped sharply, especially the flesh on her cheeks disappeared.

Before she knew it, a month had passed and Old Madam Chu had finally recovered.

The first thing Azhi wanted to do was to go to Shoukangyuan to pay his respects to Old Madam Chu.

However, after Chu Yunzhi learned about this, he asked her to wait for him in advance, and after he left the court, they would go to Shoukangyuan together to pay their respects to the old lady.
