The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 42042 Camping

When Chu Qianchen returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already past the time for dawn and dusk.

She returned to Wanyan Courtyard first, washed her face, changed into a lilac dress, put on a sachet, and then hurried to Rongfu Hall.

She arrived late today, so she was prepared to be treated coldly by the Madam. Anyway, she would live her life again, and she didn't care whether the people in the Marquis Mansion liked her or how they viewed her.

"The second girl is here." The maid announced and raised the door curtain.

Chu Qianchen walked in, and for a moment, many eyes in the Toji room fell on her.

Chu Qianchen walked up to Mrs. Tai unhurriedly, bowed and said, "Greetings to grandma."

Then, she bowed to Mrs. Shen who was sitting next to her.

Before Mrs. Shen could speak, Mrs. Shen smiled gently and said, "Sister Chen, have you put the things I asked you to put away?"

Chu Qianchen understood that his aunt was covering for him.

She smiled slightly at Mrs. Shen and responded gracefully: "Mother, it has been put away."

So Mrs. Tai asked Chu Qianchen to sit down without asking any more questions, and then asked Shen, "Azhi, will Sister Huang be back tomorrow?"

When she mentioned her daughter Chu Qianhuang, Mrs. Shen's whole body was filled with joy. She nodded and said, "Yes, mother. I will send someone to pick her up in front of the palace gate early tomorrow morning."

Madam Tai was also filled with joy, her eyes narrowed when she smiled, and she said repeatedly: "Okay, I don't know if Sister Huang will get used to it in the palace, but remember to ask the kitchen to cook more of what she likes tomorrow..."

Shen responded with a smile.

Mrs. Tai added: "Today, two fresh mandarin fish were sent from Zhuangzi. Please let them keep them alive and don't raise them to death. Sister Huang likes to eat mandarin fish the most. You two will arrive together tomorrow. I'm here for dinner..."

Mrs. Tai kept talking enthusiastically, and Mrs. Shen occasionally responded.

Chu Qianchen picked up the tea cup that had just been served and drank half of it in one breath. Then he felt a little more energetic and listened to them absentmindedly.

Unlike her, Chu Qianhuang was the eldest daughter of the Marquis Mansion and had been pampered since she was a child.

Last month, Chu Qianhuang was chosen as the companion of the third princess. Now she lives in the palace and returns to the palace for three days every ten days. Tomorrow is the day for her to return to the palace.

Chu Qianchen's eyes moved slightly and he thought: It's about time...

After a stick of incense, Chu Qianchen followed Shen out of Rongfu Hall.

Shen said gently to the two girls beside Chu Qianchen: "Sister Wu, Sister Ying, you two go back first."

Chu Qianwu and Chu Qianying are twins born to Aunt Mo, another concubine of Yongding Marquis. They have just turned ten this year.

After hearing this, the two sisters responded obediently, "Yes. Mother."

When Chu Qianying turned around, she quickly glanced at Chu Qianchen with envious eyes.

Mrs. Shen said again: "Sister Chen, please accompany me for a walk."

Chu Qianchen walked forward slowly accompanied by Shen, with Nanny Chen and Hu Bo following behind them.

After walking through a cobblestone path and seeing no one around, Chu Qianchen said, "Mother, Mei'er is already well and can come into the house at any time."

Aunt Chen's illness was relatively mild. She was fine after taking medicine for three days. Aunt Chen was afraid that the illness would be passed on to Shen and Chu Yunmu, so she locked herself up for a few more days. She just arrived in Shen yesterday. Serve in front of him.

Mei'er's condition has been worse than that of Grandma Chen for a long time, but she has fully recovered now and can no longer infect others.

In fact, Mei'er could enter the mansion two days ago, but Chu Qianchen deliberately held back for two more days, just to wait for Chu Qianhuang's return.

Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "You must have gone to Mei'er just now."

Mrs. Shen thought that the reason why Chu Qianchen arrived a little late was because he had just returned from Mei'er.

Chu Qianchen just smiled and said nothing, without explaining. Mrs. Shen just mentioned it casually, turned to Nanny Chen and ordered: "Tomorrow, go and bring Mei'er in person, and also call Doctor Li from Qianjin Hall, and say..."

"Let's just say that Brother Mu has been complaining about pain in his leg bones recently. Let him come over and have a look."

"Yes, madam." Nanny Chen responded immediately and couldn't help but glance at Chu Qianchen. The madam gave this order in front of the second girl, but she had no intention of hiding it.

Also, let’s not mention that the second girl saved him, let’s just talk about Mei’er. If the second girl had a little evil intention, wouldn’t it be simple and easy to let Mei’er die of illness on her own?

Madam is right, she shouldn't be prejudiced against the second girl because of Aunt Jiang.

Thinking of this, Grandma Chen's eyes softened a bit, thinking that she had to say thank you to the second girl properly.

"Sister Chen, I've checked over the past few days, and it's not Juan Niang." Shen said, "So, the fault should be with Doctor Li."

Silk Lady was always worried because she didn't watch Chu Yunmu before and let him fall off the rockery. Later, she heard Chu Yunmu complaining about leg pain and felt that if something went wrong again, she would definitely be driven away, so He hid it and coaxed Chu Yunmu not to tell others.

While talking, Chu Qianchen followed Shen to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Shen left her to have dinner. Chu Qianchen played with Chu Yunmu for a while and checked his injured leg. Just when he was about to leave, Chu Lingxiao, the Marquis of Yongding, came back.

"Father." Chu Qianchen saluted Chu Lingxiao gracefully.

Chu Lingxiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, stared at her for a while, and said: "Sister Chen, your aunt has been in poor health recently. If you have nothing to do, go to her side and wait for her. Don't always go around and camp. ”

There was a hint of reproach in his voice.

Chu Qianchen smiled and said nothing.

Her expression was indifferent, and she had a rather unfazed demeanor.

"Sister Chen, I am talking to you." Chu Lingxiao frowned and his voice rose two points.

A glimmer of light flashed across his eyes, and when he looked at Chu Qianchen, he couldn't help but add a little more scrutiny.

He had never looked at this daughter directly. In the past, he only knew that she was weak, dull, and invisible to everyone, making her presence invisible.

I don't know when, but she also became thoughtful and learned to be courteous in front of Mr. Shen? !

The air also condensed.

Chu Qianchen smiled softly. Before she could speak, Mrs. Shen said first, "Master Marquis, Aunt Jiang is my concubine."

The aunt is a concubine, to put it harshly, she is half a slave, but Chu Qianchen is a girl from the Hou family and the master. There is no reason for the master to take care of the slave.

If we really want to talk about it, she, the aunt, is Chu Qianchen's mother.

"..." Chu Lingxiao's face stiffened slightly.

Mrs. Shen stopped talking, changed the subject, and asked calmly: "Master Marquis is here at this time, but what's the matter?"

Chu Lingxiao narrowed his eyes, without looking at Shen's face, nodded and said, "There is indeed something I want to discuss with you."

Mrs. Shen smiled gently at Chu Qianchen and said, "Sister Chen, please go back first."

"Yes, mother." Chu Qianchen knelt down and said blessing, then went out, not paying attention to Chu Lingxiao's gaze on her back.

After leaving the hall, Chu Qianchen did not leave. Instead, he waited under the eaves for a while until Nanny Chen came back and said, "Nanny Chen, father is here."

"..." Nanny Chen glanced into the room in surprise.

The Marquis and his wife treat each other with respect, just like the noble family in the capital. The wife never cares which aunt's room the Marquis stays in. On weekdays, even if the Marquis comes over, it is usually before dinner. Now, It's almost one day.

He must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!
