After the female supporting role is quickly put on, she is full of charm

Chapter 329: The Gentle-Looking Maid with a Serious Heart

At this time, Mrs. Chu picked up the Buddhist scripture beside her and handed it to Liu Leqing.

"The anniversary of Lian Qiao's death is in three days. I want to copy some Buddhist scriptures and take them to a nearby temple to pray."

Her voice was calm and her eyes revealed a deep sadness.

"It's just that my body is useless now. Since you have nothing to do, why don't you come over every day to accompany me and relax."

Old Madam Chu continued, looking at Liu Leqing coldly.

When Liu Leqing heard this, he looked towards Old Madam Chu abruptly. His heart tensed up and he could hardly maintain the expression on his face.

The name Lianqiao is not only Mrs. Chu’s nightmare, but also Liu Leqing’s nightmare.

When Liu Leqing first married into the Chu family, she keenly realized that the pretty Lian Qiao was a potential threat.

Chu Yunzhi's attitude towards Lian Qiao also made her suspicious. His actions clearly went beyond the care and concern that a maid should have.

This special treatment made Liu Leqing feel uneasy. How could she tolerate such a threat existing around her?

At that time, Liu Leqing had a strong possessiveness towards Chu Yunzhi, and she was afraid that Lian Qiao would shake her position in the Chu family.

Seeing Old Madam Chu and Chu Yunzhi going back together to worship their ancestors, Liu Leqing felt a slight movement in his heart, thinking that this was a great opportunity.

So she found a problematic servant without hesitation and quickly married Lian Qiao off.

In order to ensure that everything went perfectly well, she even sent people to keep a close eye on Lian Qiao, and only felt relieved after confirming that she and the servant had completed their wedding night.

As long as Lian Qiao becomes a married woman, I don’t believe Chu Yunzhi will treat her any differently.

Lian Qiao cried bitterly before her wedding, but Liu Leqing didn't care. She thought it was an honor for her as the master to condescend to arrange a marriage for Lian Qiao.

Although she knew that there was something wrong with this boy, she did not expect it to be so serious.

Not long after, Lian Qiao couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide.

This matter soon reached Old Madam Chu. Lian Qiao was once her most proud maid.

But now he lost his life because of Liu Leqing's arranged marriage, which made Liu Leqing very scared.

But she firmly believed that Madam Chu would not do anything to her. After all, she was already Chu Yunzhi's wife.

To her surprise, both Old Madam Chu and Chu Yunzhi were very angry, and she almost lost her favor because of this.

From then on, Liu Leqing never dared to cause trouble easily, and realized that he must firmly grasp Chu Yunzhi's heart.

Over the years she has been playing the role of a virtuous wife and dares not cause any trouble.

Seeing that Liu Leqing was looking at her without saying anything, Old Madam Chu placed her hands on the table and tapped them lightly.

Her voice was intimidating without anger. "Why? You don't want to? Do you think it's troublesome to find an old woman to accompany you?"

Liu Leqing lowered her head unwillingly and said, "Mother, what happened to Lian Qiao was really an accident. I didn't expect such an accident to happen."

Her eyes were full of grievance and unwillingness, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

That pitiful look makes people feel pity for her.

I have to say that Liu Leqing is very good at controlling her emotions, especially this kind of pitiful look, which is her forte.

No wonder Chu Yunzhi has always had a special liking for her over the years. She can always come up with new tricks to attract Chu Yunzhi's attention and make him feel fresh and interesting.

Just like now, Liu Leqing subconsciously showed an innocent expression, leading the other party to believe that everything she said was true.

This just-right display of weakness had no effect on Old Madam Chu.

She knew Liu Leqing too well and knew her methods and intentions.

No matter how Liu Leqing behaved, she could not change Madam Chu's opinion of her.

She would never believe Liu Leqing's claims of innocence.

Where can there be a truly innocent executioner?

Old Madam Chu regretted giving Lianqiao to Liu Leqing.

"did not expect?"

She propped herself up with a cold face, and stared at Liu Leqing with extremely cold eyes.

That look seemed to be able to see through Liu Leqing's heart, revealing the other's dirtiest side.

"You don't have to pretend in front of me. Others may not know what kind of person you are, but I know it very well."

"You knew that the servant had bad behavior and often beat and scolded his wife, but you still insisted on marrying Lian Qiao, which led to this tragedy."

Liu Leqing subconsciously wanted to lower his head, but stopped in time.

If she really lowered her head at this moment, she would undoubtedly be seen as guilty.

She straightened her body and looked into Madam Chu's eyes and said, "I understand what mother means. It's just about Lianqiao. I..."

"enough!"

Madam Chu waved her hands impatiently and snorted, "You don't have to quibble anymore. There are some things you know clearly in your heart, and the public will judge right and wrong."

"It's none of your business to interfere in Yilan Courtyard's affairs, Liu Leqing, you'd better behave yourself. If you dare to prevent Chu Yunzhi from going to see Lingzhang, don't blame me for going to your Liu family to make trouble."

"I have allowed you to be the eldest grandmother of the Chu family peacefully over the years. I have done my best. Others have already had grandchildren in their arms a long time ago."

"You are the only one who is jealous and yet can't even give birth. If I really go to the Liu family to make trouble, do you think your brother and sister-in-law will tolerate you?"

These words were indeed a bit harsh, and Liu Leqing couldn't help but feel fearful, fearing that Old Madam Chu would really run to the Liu family and make a scene.

After all, the Liu family had set their sights on Chu Yunzhi a few years ago, and wanted to send Liu Leqing's cousin to the mansion as a concubine.

The idea was that if his cousin gave birth to a child, Liu Leqing would raise the child together with her.

However, Liu Leqing racked his brains to make excuses and refused to agree.

Because of this, her brother and sister-in-law even had a quarrel with her.

The Liu family and the Chu family are a strong alliance. The reason why Liu Leqing married Chu Yunzhi was because the Liu family saw the benefits that the Chu family could bring.

If Liu Leqing had not been able to give birth, then the relationships between these two marriages would probably not have been able to be maintained for long.

In this day and age, married women without the support of their natal family often have a hard time.

If Madam Chu really went to the Liu family to cause trouble, all the unmarried girls in the Liu family would be implicated.

Liu Leqing's brother and sister-in-law have three daughters, the oldest of whom is already at marriageable age.

Liu Leqing's heart was filled with resentment, and this emotion naturally revealed in her eyes, which happened to be seen by Old Madam Chu.

However, Old Madam Chu had long been aware of Liu Leqing's character, who pretended to be noble, virtuous and filial.

A delicacy in the eyes of men and Biluochun in the eyes of women.

Old Madam Chu picked up the tea and took a sip.

At this time Liu Leqing lowered his head and pretended to be respectful.

"My daughter-in-law understands. She will never be so impulsive again in the future."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Madam Chu put down her teacup and nodded gently, "Well, as long as you understand, it's fine. As a mother, I will naturally teach you about things you don't understand. If you don't listen, I can't just sit back and watch."

Although Liu Leqing listened to Madam Chu's teachings to him, he did not feel the slightest bit of obedience in his heart.

She could only pretend on the surface that she had listened.

"Mother is right."

In order to prevent Liu Leqing from pretending to obey her but actually disobeying her, Madam Chu had someone keep an eye on her after she left.

On the way back, Liu Leqing's face was as gloomy as a ghost.

Chunhua was so anxious thinking about Qiurong that his steps became disorderly.

Liu Leqing, who was already upset, heard Chunhua's footsteps and felt an extremely noisy noise in his ears, and his mood became even more irritated.

Suddenly she stopped, turned around with a cold face, raised her hand and slapped Chunhua hard in the face.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap sounded.

Chunhua was stunned by the beating. He knelt on the ground, covering his face, at a loss.

She had no idea why she was beaten. She was just walking on the road, but she was punished like this for no reason.

Liu Leqing pointed at Chunhua and angrily scolded, "Why didn't you stop me just now? You actually let me be punished by my mother like this."

"As my personal maid, you should have reminded me and dissuaded me at all times to prevent me from making wrong decisions under impulse."

"But you hid behind like a coward, not fulfilling your responsibilities as a maid at all."

Chunhua never expected that even though she had done nothing wrong, she would still not be able to escape the scolding.

No matter how she tried to avoid trouble, Liu Leqing could always find reasons to vent her anger on her.

Chunhua lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "I know I was wrong, please calm down, Madam."

To put it bluntly, this slap was Liu Leqing's way of venting her anger. Seeing that she couldn't get revenge on Madam Chu, she took it out on the people around her.

Liu Leqing said coldly, "Calm down? How can a useless maid like you make me calm down?"

"Okay, you will kneel here for two hours tonight to calm down and think about how you can fulfill your duties as a maid."

Chunhua originally thought that the matter was over after being slapped, but she never expected that Liu Leqing would not give up and even planned to punish her further.

She stared at Liu Leqing blankly with tears in her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Grandma?"

At this time, Liu Leqing was so angry that he completely lost his mind.

She turned around and left with the other maids without looking back.

Only Chunhua was left alone, kneeling on the cold ground and shivering.

The weather has been cold these days, and the nights are freezing cold.

Chunhua knelt on the ground, her heart filled with fear and helplessness.

But what she was most worried about was Qiu Rong.

Because Qiu Rong was kicked hard in the heart by Liu Leqing, if she does not receive timely treatment, her life is likely to be in danger.

Chunhua knew very well that she must not stand up, otherwise Liu Leqing would find out and drive her out of the yard.

This way, she wouldn't even have the chance to help Qiu Rong.

So Chunhua could only kneel down and obey Liu Leqing's orders.

She beat her thighs and cried silently, her heart full of resentment towards Liu Leqing.

So what if he was loyal? In her eyes, he was nothing more than a toy.

And Qiu Rong's situation in the main courtyard is not optimistic either.

She lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper, as if she had lost all her vitality.

Liu Leqing returned to the room with a gloomy face and started smashing things frantically.

Her eyes were filled with anger and despair, as if she had lost her mind.

All the objects she could see, whether they were precious porcelain or gorgeous furniture, were smashed to the ground by her, making crisp cracking sounds.

The maids in the whole room were so frightened that they dared not even breathe. They stood by in horror, afraid that Liu Leqing, in his anger, would smash them with the things in his hand.

They looked at each other with deep fear in their eyes.

Finally, Liu Leqing gradually calmed down, took a deep breath and asked in a cold tone, "How is Yilanyuan?"

The maids looked at each other and saw the same fear in each other's eyes.

Liu Leqing was willing to beat, scold and punish even his closest maid, so the ordinary maids in the main courtyard were even more afraid.

The braver maidservant whispered, "Grandma, Yilan Courtyard just called for water again."

Hearing this, Liu Leqing's face instantly became extremely gloomy.

She clenched her fists tightly and threw the teacup beside her away with force.

With a loud bang, the teacup broke into countless pieces in the air and scattered on the ground.

At this moment, Liu Leqing's chest was heaving violently and his voice became unusually sharp, like a wounded beast.

"Get out! All of you get out!"

Following Liu Leqing's roar, all the maids turned around and left the room in a hurry, as if they had been granted amnesty, their steps hurriedly and panicked.

Liu Leqing in the room stared out the window fiercely.

That night Liu Leqing tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Whenever she closed her eyes, the scene of Chu Yunzhi being intimate with another woman emerged in her mind, and her heart felt as painful as if it was being cut by a knife.

She wanted to rush up and cut Ah Zhi into pieces immediately, but reason told her that doing so would only make things worse.

Besides, Madam Chu must have secretly sent people to monitor me. If I act rashly, she will not let me go.

Chunhua knelt on the cold stone road, praying silently for Qiurong, hoping that Liu Leqing could ask a doctor to treat Qiurong.

Time passed minute by minute, Chunhua knelt on the ground with a pale face.

Finally two hours passed.

A little maid came forward and gently helped Chunhua up.

"Sister Chunhua, please get up quickly. It's been two hours and Sister Qiurong's fever is still not going away. We really don't know what to do. Please go and see her quickly."

Chunhua stood up with difficulty, her legs numb from kneeling for so long.

Despite this, she still endured the pain and walked quickly towards Qiu Rong's room.

Although Chunhua is a bit outspoken and arrogant on weekdays, she and Qiurong are very gentle towards the maids below.

Sometimes when Liu Leqing was angry and wanted to blame the maids, Chunhua and Qiurong would stand up and plead for them, so that the maids would not be punished.

The little maids were full of gratitude towards Chunhua and Qiurong.

Especially for Qiu Rong, who had a gentle personality, these little maids would pick flowers and give them to her.

Now seeing Chunhua and Qiurong suffering, the little maid's face was full of worry.

Chunhua gritted her teeth and tried to stand up with the help of the maid next to her.
