Chapter 391: The Slaps

The imperial physician took a glance at Qin Yuru and shook his head silently. Then he was ready to leave the main room with his servant and to follow Yujie to give a prescription in the wing room. Suddenly, the curtain was lifted by someone inside and Qin Yuru lunged forward. She cried sadly, “Imperial physician, please save my mother’s life!”

Her voice sounded extremely woeful.

If Doctor Li had not watched the scene before, he would have regarded Qin Yuru as a filial lady who cared about her mother very much. However, since he had known what kind of person Qin Yuru was, he thought Qin Yuru was a hypocrite no matter how thoughtful and filial she behaved now.

The very first impression of the so-called First Miss had been formed and it was hard to overturn it.

“Please wait for a moment and calm down, First Miss. In consideration of Madam Di’s situation, it would be better to form a tranquil environment for her to take a rest. It would help her recover soon, and besides, it is possible for Madam Di to recover completely!”

Doctor Li said to her mildly. Then he went to the wing room.

Qin Yuru stood still in the corridor with cold hands and feet. She felt her blood was almost frozen. Everything just happened out of the blue. Madam Di didn’t die but became like this because of a stroke. What should she do?

She didn’t want to spend her whole life on Madam Di. It was her mother who figured out this plan! It was her mother who tried to plot against Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru! She had nothing to do with these deeds! Why did she have to suffer the consequences!

But, but Madam Di was her mother, the one who gave life to her!

Tears rolled down on Qin Yuru’s face, ceaselessly. This time, Qin Yuru cried for her mother truly sincerely. If she had known what would have become of her mother, she would have murdered her without hesitation! She was still young and besides, she now was not eligible to marry Di Yan because she had lied about her age and made others think she was still very young. Thus, she would not be affected even if she needed to observe mourning for her mother for years.

If her mother had died, she could have used her grandmother to make Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru die like a beggar, whom her mother also intended to plot against. If they died, her mother in paradise would rest in peace and she would not blame her.

However, what should she do now? Qin Yuru totally went blank and didn’t know what to do.

Nanny Huang just arrived at the courtyard. When she came in, she immediately saw Qin Yuru standing in the corridor with a panic-stricken look. There even were teardrops on her face. It seemed that she cried badly just now. Thinking in this way, Nanny Huang felt a little sorry for her.

Even though First Miss had bad conduct before, she was still filial!

“First Miss, where is the imperial physician?” Nanny Huang walked towards her and asked gently.

“Nanny Huang, what should I do? My mother, my mother suffered a stroke! The imperial physician claimed that my mother will not be able to act like a healthy person and even get up by herself…” Grabbing Nanny Huang’s hands hurriedly, Qin Yuru said anxiously.

“Don’t worry, First Miss! Madam Di will get better!” Nanny Huang comforted her when patting Qin Yuru’s hands gently.

“No! No! The imperial physician just said that she won’t recover! Never!” cried Qin Yuru in pain when her tears fell again.

She didn’t want to be bounded by her mother. There was only a bed and a bleak room!

“First Miss, nothing is impossible. There is still a hope that Madam Di will get better. Don’t worry. General is back and he wants the imperial physician to see him.” Nanny Huang sighed as her voice sounded much softer.

Qin Huaiyong had come back. When being informed that the imperial physician had arrived, he wanted to see the imperial physician and asked about Madam Di’s situation.

Maybe the word “general” she just mentioned sobered Qin Yuru up. Wiping her tears with her handkerchief, she gradually got rational and said to Nanny Huang desperately, “Nanny, the imperial physician is giving a prescription in the wing room.”

“First Miss, you’d better have a seat in Madam Di’s room. I will see you later.” Nanny Huang pointed at Madam Di’s room and said as she saw Qin Yuru’s distracted look.

Qin Yuru immediately winced involuntarily as she heard Nanny Huang’s words. The reason why she would give such reaction was the door of Madam Di’s room, covered by the curtain, which brought her an inexplicably repressed feeling. She felt once she stepped into that room she would not be able to breathe.

“Are you alright, First Miss?” Nanny Huang asked confusedly.

“I am fine. Off you go!” Now Qin Yuru was sober but still looked pale. She shook her head feebly and answered.

Seeing Qin Yuru’s pale complexion and woeful look, Nanny Huang only thought that Qin Yuru was just shocked by Madam Di’s current situation. Thus, she then decided not to say anything but went to inform others of Qin Huaiyong’s message in the wing room.

When she walked out of the wing room, she found Qin Yuru had been in the main room. Then she thought everything was still alright so she just led the imperial physician to meet Qin Huaiyong.

As Qin Yuru came in the room, she saw Qin Wanru sitting on the chair in front of Madam Di’s dresser. She found Qin Wanru not only looked over Madam Di’s jewelry casually but even tried these jewelry on herself in front of a mirror and had a chat with Yujie sometimes, looking happily.

Nanny Zhou stood in front of the bed with her eyebrows frowned, showing her dissatisfaction against Qin Wanru’s behavior. However, since Qin Wanru was not the one she had been before, Nanny Zhou now didn’t dare to scold her.

Seeing Qin Yuru was here, Nanny Zhou looked bright and hurriedly called out, “First Miss!”

Then she gave a sign to Qin Yuru when glancing at Qin Wanru who was still sitting in front of the dress, hoping Qin Yuru could warn her.

However, Qin Yuru didn’t receive the message for now she kept thinking that she could not attend many activities in public when her mother was sick. Otherwise, others would say that how could she still be in the mood to participate in these parties when her mother was in poor health.

Nanny Zhou found Qin Yuru ignore her so she wrinkled her forehead and sat down. Staring at Madam Di, she felt anxious and worried so she called Qin Yuru again in a low voice, “First Miss!”

“What?” As Qin Yuru was pondering over her problems, she replied impatiently when being interrupted by Nanny Zhou’s call.

“First Miss, Madam Di fainted…” said Nanny Zhou.

“The imperial physician has told us that everything is alright and she will wake up soon!” Qin Yuru cut in directly.

Her answer shut Nanny Zhou up.

On the bed, Madam Di seemed to wake up and made some noises. Nanny Zhou then talked to Madam Di anxiously and gently, “Madam? Madam? Are you awake?”

Opening her eyes, Madam Di looked at Nanny Zhou and then cast her gaze on Qin Yuru with difficulty.

She waved to Qin Yuru.

“First Miss, Madam is asking you to come here!” As Madam Di woke up, Nanny Zhou felt confident again and she talked to Qin Yuru in a low voice.

Qin Yuru lowered her head, stood up and walked to the bed. She didn’t dare to look Madam Di in the eyes as she thought there was something in her eyes, which made her feel scared.

Madam Di waved down powerfully as she groaned like “ah, ah”.

Nanny Zhou had served Madam Di for a very long time so she quickly understood. She translated for Qin Yuru. “First Miss, Madam Di wants you to squat down as she cannot reach you!”

Qin Yuru then squatted down and raised her eyes slightly to see Madam Di. Suddenly, she found a trace of hatred in Madam Di’s eyes so she winced quickly but even so, she still received a heavy slap in her face.

The slap didn’t make Qin Yuru feel hurt as Madam Di now was weak. However, her move still let Qin Yuru fell over when she dodged backwards.

“Mother, how, how can you slap me in the face?” Qin Yuru wrapped her face with an incredulous look. Her eyes turned red quickly as she had never been hit by Madam Di in her life, not to mention being hit in front of Qin Wanru.

Madam Di gasped heavily and glared at Qin Yuru with her fiery eyes. A much more hoarse voice kept coming out from her throat. However, Madam Di just could not talk.

“Calm down, Madam Di! Don’t be emotional! Just talk to First Miss calmly. She is First Miss! Your daughter!” Nanny Zhou was astounded by her. Now she quickly sobered up and clenched Madam Di’s hand and persuaded.

Madam Di jerked her hand which she was still able to control out of Nanny Zhou’s hands and pointed straightly at Qin Yuru angrily. Even though she could not talk, Qin Yuru knew by Madam Di’s look that her mother had known it was she who wanted to murder her yesterday!

Ashamed and irritated, resentful and regretful, Qin Yuru was overwhelmed by the mixed feeling. She quickly raised her hand, covered her face and burst out crying. Then she stood up and dashed outwards with tears!

She totally had no idea how to face Madam Di.

Seeing Qin Yuru running away with tears, Madam Di felt extremely angry and indignant. As she was not appeased, she gave another slap in Nanny Zhou’s face.

Then she started to look around in the room with a ferocious look. Till now, she found a person, an extremely rebarbative person sitting here.

Qin Wanru. It was Qin Wanru who was sitting in front of her dresser and playing her accessories!

Madam Di glared at Qin Wanru viciously. If looks could kill, Qin Wanru would be cut into pieces!

Qin Wanru wasn’t surprised to see Madam Di’s fiery face on which venom seemed to dribble. Even though Madam Di felt mad at Qin Yuru, Shui Ruolan and she were still the ones whom Madam Di hated most.

People like Madam Di and Qin Yuru would never reflect on their mistakes but always blame others for their bad situation.

Or had they always thought subconsciously that it was other people who plotted against them even if it was they who wanted to hurt others first? Had they ever felt confused why they just could not drag those who they disliked into the hell and why they could not kill them?

Qin Wanru smiled slightly and wore Madam Di’s bead necklace around her neck directly. She stood up and went right up to her bed. She asked with a bright smile, “Madam Di now is sober? Excellent! The imperial physician just said that you need a quiet rest to recover. Then I will look after you from now on. Thus, am I able to check the house?”

Asking Madam Di smilingly, Qin Wanru began to flick her hand. Now Madam Di noticed there was a huge ruby ring on Qin Wanru’s finger, which was her favorite ring ever. Feeling resentful, she made noise like “ah, ah” in her throat again.

“Does it mean a ‘yes’? I sure appreciate! I heard that there are many interesting things here! Since I have nothing to do when staying with you, I’ll take them out and appreciate them!” Qin Wanru distorted Madam Di’s meaning deliberately. Glancing at a box beside with her head aslant wittily, she seemed to find something interesting as she smiled more brightly.

Madam Di shook Nanny Zhou’s hand heavily and pointed at Qin Wanru resentfully when waving her hands.

Nanny Zhou looked at Qin Wanru and Madam Di. She ventured to say, “Second Miss, my madam warns you not to touch her stuff!”
