After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

Chapter 22 Zhu Qing'an's Protection

It was quiet in Jingyuan, and the maids lowered their heads and even walked lightly.

Aunt Banxia led the female doctor into the house. Although the madam was under house arrest by the Marquis, the food, clothing and other expenses in Jingyuan were as usual. Except for the madam, the servants could come and go freely.

Aunt Banxia always felt that given the Marquis's feelings for the Madam, he would definitely not really be angry with the Madam, and she was afraid that he would come to Jingyuan to coax the Madam in a few days.

After all, the lady had done countless excessive things to the Marquis before, and the Marquis had never been truly angry. It was just that this time it involved the princess.

"Madam, the doctor is here!" Aunt Banxia entered the room first and looked at Madam, who was lying on the bed with a sick face, with a worried look on her face.

Shui Shiyu was lying weakly on the couch. He opened his eyes slightly when he heard the sound. When he saw that there was no one behind him, his expression became even more dejected.

"Why go call a doctor? They father and daughter wish I would die of illness!" Shui Shiyu said and turned away.

"Madam, you must not say that. The princess was just bewildered for a moment. The Marquis has been truly in love with the princess over the years. You must not give up and take care of yourself!" Aunt Banxia said, and asked the doctor to come in to take her pulse.

After taking the doctor's pulse and writing a prescription, Aunt Banxia personally escorted him out of the house.

At this time in Quyuan, Cui Ling came back alone.

Qu Garden is located at the very edge of the Marquis's mansion, and is even farther away from Marquis Wen'an's residence. Qu Garden is not big, and there are only a few servants serving it. Compared with the exquisite and luxurious Jing Garden, Qu Garden is obviously much more desolate.

"Cui Ling, where is the doctor?" Zhu Baiwei asked.

Zhu Yiqing was serving at the concubine's bedside at this time. The princess fell ill a few days ago, and concubine Qu copied Buddhist scriptures and prayed for blessings day and night, but now she has caught a cold.

Although Concubine Qu and her mother and son were not valued in the Hou Mansion, they had never suffered any abuse. If they had a headache or fever, they could go directly to see a doctor.

Cui Ling's expression was filled with indignation. "I was planning to call a doctor, but I didn't expect that the lady in Jingyuan was also ill!"

"Madam is sick? Since Madam is sick, we should let the doctor treat her first!" Aunt Qu said in a low voice, covering her lips with a handkerchief.

Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing remained silent. Although they were worried about their aunt's illness, they were also aware of the difference in their status.

"But Aunt Banxia scolded me, saying that I was just a concubine and should just bear the illness instead of disturbing the doctor. She wouldn't let me go and get him!" Cui Ling knelt down and said, "It's all my fault!"

"That's too much!" Zhu Yiqing stood up. "Last time, my elder sister scolded Aunt Banxia, ​​but I didn't expect her to be like this! I'll go tell my elder sister!"

"Stop right there!" Aunt Qu called her son with a weak voice accompanied by a cough.

"Aunt?" Zhu Yiqing looked at her in confusion. "Don't worry, Aunt. My elder sister is not someone who can't tell right from wrong!"

After what happened that day, Zhu Yiqing now trusts his elder sister very much, and he also knows that his elder sister is not the kind of person who bullies her half-brothers and half-sisters.

"The princess is naturally clear-headed, but you are bothering her with this matter, which makes her feel very awkward. After all, Madam is the princess's mother. Do you want the princess to disobey Madam for your sake?" Madam Qu said a lot and couldn't help coughing a few times.

When Zhu Yiqing heard this, he also felt that he had not considered it carefully.

"The princess is kind-hearted. She has never treated us, mother and son, harshly over the years. Now she is willing to take care of you and your sister, and even recommend you to the Xiushen Pavilion. We must remember this great kindness in our hearts and not cause trouble for the princess anymore!" Aunt Qu taught.

"But, Auntie, your body..." Zhu Yiqing said in embarrassment.

"It's just a common cold, it's nothing serious!" Aunt Qu comforted.

Although Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing were very worried, they took their aunt's words to heart and served her wholeheartedly.

Qu Yuan concealed the fact, but Zhu Qing'an still found out about it.

Now that Marquis Wen'an has taken away the wife's power as housekeeper, he is afraid of burdening his daughter, so he has handed over the affairs of the mansion to the housekeeper and informed his daughter of the important matters.

Butler Mai learned about today's incident by accident. He knew the dignity of the lady in Jingyuan, but it would be difficult to explain if anything happened to Concubine Qu, so he sent someone to report the matter to Yongfuyuan.

When he learned about this, Zhu Qing'an was already preparing to rest.

"Wangshu, go get the doctor!" Zhu Qing'an stood up and casually put on his clothes.

"The doctor will be going to Quyuan soon. The princess has been restless lately, so she should rest first!" Fu Guang advised.

"It's okay, I have to go there anyway!" Zhu Qing'an let Fu Guang put on his shoes and socks, and walked straight towards Quyuan.

Fu Guang behind him hurriedly took out a thin cloak and put it on Zhu Qing'an, while the maid beside him held a lantern to light the way.

Qu Garden was exceptionally quiet except for a few lonely lanterns in the courtyard emitting faint light.

No one expected that the noble Princess Yongfu would come so late at night. Everyone was busy for a while, and Cui Ling ran into the house quickly.

"The princess is here?" Concubine Qu's surprised voice came from inside the house. Before Zhu Qing'an stepped into the house, he saw Concubine Qu standing up and going out to greet her, supported by her two children.

Aunt Qu was wearing a light blue dress that was a little ill-fitting, as if a wide robe was covering her thin figure.

Aunt Qu's face was a sickly pale color, her body was frail, and there was a hint of scholarly air in her eyes and brows. Although her appearance could only be described as pretty, she made people feel comfortable.

"Princess, please don't come near me. I'm sick and I don't want to pass on my illness to you!" Aunt Qu covered her mouth and nose tightly, fearing that she would infect the princess.

Zhu Qing'an looked at Aunt Qu. In the past, she had never paid much attention to her father's concubine. She only knew that she was a dutiful woman.

Now it seems that Aunt Qu is kind and never jealous or causes trouble. She also teaches her children very well, which is very rare.

Take today's incident for example, not only did she not make a fuss, but she also considered herself, which shows her true character.

"It's okay, I'm not that fragile. My aunt is still sick, go in and lie down quickly!" Zhu Qing'an said, glancing at his younger brother and sister.

Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing hurriedly helped the concubine into the house, but even after entering the house, Concubine Qu only sat in the lower seat.

Just at this time, Wangshu came with a doctor.

Aunt Qu was immediately flattered, but Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing, brother and sister, looked grateful.

After the doctor prescribed the medicine, Zhu Qing'an watched Concubine Qu lie down before speaking to his sister-in-law, "I've already informed Housekeeper Mai. If something like this happens next time, go directly to the doctor. If anyone tries to stop you, come directly to Yongfuyuan to find me!"

These words are meant to support the two of them.

Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing were deeply touched and quickly bowed to express their gratitude.

"We are family, there is no need to be so polite. I have some nourishing herbs and I will have someone send them over later and have someone boil them for your aunt to take!" Zhu Qing'an instructed.

After hearing this, the brother and sister didn't know what to say. They could only make up their minds in their hearts to repay their elder sister well.

"You guys go back and rest first, I have something to say to my aunt!" Zhu Qing'an said.

Although Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing didn't know what their eldest sister and aunt wanted to say, they understood that their eldest sister would not make things difficult for their aunt, so they nodded and left.
