Chapter 333: The Gentle-Looking Maid with a Serious Heart
After both hands were bandaged, Chu Yunzhi let go of Ah Zhi and said, "Are you stupid? What would you do if such scalding water fell on you?"
Azhi would not let the hot water fall on himself.
If Liu Leqing really wanted to pour hot water on himself, Azhi wouldn't mind retaliating and making the other party suffer.
Now the injury on his hand only looks serious, and Azhi doesn't feel anything.
She had long blocked out the pain from the wound, but her face still showed some pain.
She leaned in Chu Yunzhi's arms and said softly, "Grandma is willing to let me serve tea. This is undoubtedly an honor for me."
"I am not a maidservant accompanying the Grand Madam, but she is willing to let me be your bedmate."
"I originally wanted to use this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Grandmother, but I never thought that something like this would happen."
Seeing the genuine guilt on Ah Zhi's face, Chu Yunzhi hugged her and sighed, "Okay, I know you want to behave well, but you still have to take care of yourself."
"Since the injury on your hand has not healed yet, you don't need to go to the main courtyard to pay your respects next time."
One sentence is enough to show Chu Yunzhi's attitude towards Azhi. It is obvious that he cares about Azhi.
When a man starts to feel sorry for a woman, he is not far from being successfully conquered.
Ah Zhi was about to say something, but Chu Yunzhi hugged her and said tiredly, "Are you hungry now? If you are hungry, have breakfast first."
"We stayed up too late last night and got up too early this morning. Why don't we take a rest and have breakfast a little later?"
When Azhi got up in the morning, she drank a bowl of millet porridge, which she had specifically instructed him to do in advance.
She had calculated that she would have to fight a tough battle when paying her respects, so she prepared in advance and didn't want to go hungry. She would never let herself down.
She leaned in Chu Yunzhi's arms like a little bird and said, "I'm not hungry."
"Then you can stay with me and get some sleep."
The Yilan Temple was peaceful and tranquil, but the Shoukang Temple was not.
Old Madam Chu sat cross-legged on the couch, writing, while Liu Leqing stood beside her, grinding ink.
She hadn't had any rest to begin with and her face looked a little gray. From time to time she would wring her handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Old Madam Chu naturally heard Liu Leqing's panting.
Seeing Liu Leqing's pitiful appearance, she said calmly, "Grinding ink is a matter of self-cultivation. When people are upset, they need to do something to calm their minds. Liu, are you calm now?"
Of course he calmed down, but Liu Leqing wanted to smash the inkstone in his hand on Madam Chu's head.
As long as he thought of the torture the dead old woman had inflicted on him, the sleepless Liu Leqing couldn't suppress his full of malice.
Liu Leqing cursed Madam Chu in her heart, but she lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "My daughter-in-law has remembered my mother's teachings, but what happened today was indeed an accident."
"I originally wanted to ask Sister Lingzhang to serve tea, so that it would be more legitimate, but I didn't expect the maid who served the tea to be so careless."
"She served me such scalding hot tea. That's why my sister broke the teacup. I will definitely give her an explanation when I get home."
Explain?
How could Mrs. Chu easily believe Liu Leqing's so-called confession?
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that what happened today was related to Liu Leqing. It was clear without any speculation that it was caused by Liu Leqing's jealousy.
And all this was just an excuse she made up to torture Azhi.
Old Madam Chu never expected that her warning would be like a fart and have no effect at all.
Liu Leqing obviously did not take her words to heart. Just one night later, she was so reckless and wanted to show off her power as the principal wife.
How could Madam Chu let go of this restless Liu Leqing so easily?
Her sharp eyes were fixed on Liu Leqing.
"Is this just the servant's fault? Don't you have any responsibility as the master? Liu Leqing, although I am old, I am not deaf or blind. How can I let you fool me so easily?"
"The scalding hot tea caused Ling Zhang to lose her hand, and you took this opportunity to make her kneel in the yard and lose face. Because she injured her fingers and couldn't hold the pregnancy medicine you gave her, you were so cruel as to order her to be slapped in the face. How could there be such a cruel woman like you in the world?"
Originally, Madam Chu planned to take action personally. If Chu Yunzhi did not show up in time and rescue Azhi, she would go to support Azhi.
After tossing and turning all night last night, it was already late when Mrs. Chu woke up this morning, but she still ordered people to keep an eye on the main courtyard immediately.
Her fig leaf was ruthlessly torn off by Old Madam Chu, and at this moment Liu Leqing had to take a deep breath to calm down.
Her lips trembled as she tried to defend herself, "Mother, this is my fault. It was indeed my fault for not considering things carefully. I didn't expect that Miss Ling Zhang would be wronged."
"So you also know that Ling Zhang has been wronged?"
Mrs. Chu's words made Liu Leqing's expression instantly stiffen, and at this time Mrs. Chu continued, "Since you think Ling Zhang has been wronged, why not raise Ling Zhang as a concubine."
Liu Leqing never expected that Madam Chu would follow up on this topic and directly ask her to agree to let Azhi become a concubine.
Forget about letting Azhi become a good concubine. Liu Leqing felt that letting Azhi become a lowly concubine was already magnanimous.
Now he is naturally unwilling to agree to let Azhi become his concubine.
"My daughter-in-law cannot agree to let Ling Zhang become a concubine. This girl Ling Zhang is someone close to my mother. Originally, the person who sleeps beside my husband should be chosen from my daughter-in-law's maids. Now it is too conspicuous to let her become a concubine."
Liu Leqing talked so much nonsense simply because he didn't want Azhi to become a threat to him.
