City Lord’s Mansion.
The City Lord was just discussing serious matters with Xie Jinnian when a servant came to report that Madam Ru was not feeling well.
Xie Jinnian said tactfully, “Foster Father, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to deal with. I’ll report this information to you later.”
“Sounds good.”
The City Lord did not refuse.
After Xie Jinnian left the City Lord’s study, the City Lord went to Madam Ru’s Jade Pavilion.
At this moment, Madam Ru was lying on the bed with a frown. Cai Lian, the maidservant, brought her chicken soup for her to drink, but she pushed her away.
“Madam, you haven’t eaten anything since you came back. You’re not hungry, but the child in your womb would be.”
“I don’t have an appetite,” Madam Ru said.
Cai Lian said earnestly, “At least drink a few mouthfuls of soup. If you don’t want to drink chicken soup, I’ll get the kitchen to make other tonic soup.”
“City Lord.”
The maids greeted him from outside the door.
Cai Lian picked up the chicken soup and stood up, bowing respectfully to the door.
The City Lord stepped in and came to the bed.
Madam Ru lifted the blanket and was about to get up.
“Lie down.” The City Lord took her hand and let her lie down again.
Madam Ru smiled and said, “I’ve been lying down for half a day. I want to sit for a while.’
The City Lord helped her up.
Cai Lian put down the chicken soup and brought a pillow to cushion Madam Ru’s back.
The City Lord sat down by the bed and looked at the pale Madam Ru. “I heard from the servants that you’re not feeling well. What’s going on?”
Madam Ru said indifferently, “Nothing.” Cai Lian said, “No! Madam was clearly so angry that she became unwell !”
“Cai Lian!” Madam Ru stopped her.
“Let her speak,” the City Lord said.
Cai Lian complained aggrievedly, “City Lord, you don’t know. Madam met people from the Hundred Flowers Palace on the streets today and was scolded by them on the streets. They even injured Madam’s guards. Even Arhat Jihua, whom you sent to protect Madam, was seriously injured by them.” The City Lord frowned.
Madam Ru glanced at him and said to Cai Lian, “Alright, stop talking.” Cai Lian choked and said, “Madam, the young master of the Hundred Flowers Palace has already bullied you. How much do you have to suffer?”
“Enough!” Madam Ru said in a low voice. “You have nothing to do here. Stand down!”
Cai Lian bit her lip and retreated aggrievedly.
Madam Ru closed her eyes with a headache. “City Lord, don’t take it to heart.”
The City Lord asked, “Have you asked the physician to take a look?”
Madam Ru smiled weakly. “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired. It’s my fault. When I heard that my mother was not feeling well, I was so worried that I couldn’t sit still. It’s clearly my final month. I shouldn’t head out casually anymore.”
The City Lord said, “It’s human nature for you to be worried about your mother. I’ll send someone over to take a look later.”
Madam Ru said, “Thank you, City Lord.”
After a pause, she said, “City Lord, don’t make things difficult for the Hundred Flowers Palace. No matter what… something happened to Palace Lord Yun Xi back then because of me.”
The City Lord sighed. “I was careless. You can’t be blamed.”
He never mentioned that Yun Xi had poisoned Madam Ru.
Madam Ru lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “It’s only right for Palace Lord Yun Xi to hate me. My death is not worthy of pity. If it weren’t for the fact that you wanted to find an antidote for me, the City Lord wouldn’t have fallen out with Palace Lord Yun Xi. At that time, she was only three months pregnant. It’s not surprising that the City Lord couldn’t tell. If she was willing to say something…”
The City Lord interrupted her. “Don’t mention the past again. Rest in peace and don’t leave the residence for the next few days.”
