Then, she walked out of the house with red eyes. Seeing that the servants hadn't invited Jing'an Bo yet, she was furious. She suddenly raised her hand and slapped the maid beside her, shouting, "Useless! If you can't even do this little thing, what's the point of keeping you in the Bo's Mansion?"
The maidservant was beaten and fell to the ground, but she dared not make a sound. She just covered her face and trembled.
Lady Jing'an looked towards the Cangjiao Pavilion, her eyes filled with hatred, and she wished she could tear that "bitch" to pieces with her own hands.
But it was just a thought, because the uncle was too protective of that lowly maid. For so many years, she had never been able to get even a little bit of good from that lowly maid.
She stood there, the image of the slave's son and her meticulously planned events flashing through her mind. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly involuntarily. Her eyes were filled with disdain: "Just a slave who has never seen the world, and she's dreaming of raising a promising son? What a joke."
Even though her child is the eldest son, what does it matter? He is just a completely useless guy, not to mention he is raised by a young woman, what great prospects can he have?
Thinking of this, she looked into the distance, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. She didn't believe that the master would be so foolish as to hand over such a huge Jing'an Marquis Mansion to a dandy waste. Liu Yingge, Liu Yingge, we will slowly settle our accounts. There is still a long time to go. Let's see who will have the last laugh in the end.
"Madam, the young master is awake." The voice of the nanny came from the room. Lady Jing'an put away the coldness in her eyes and turned to walk into the room.
Liu Xiangdong was lying on the bed, his body wrapped in gauze and his legs fixed with wooden boards. The slightest movement caused him excruciating pain.
Lady Jing'an entered the inner room and saw her son's pale face and beads of sweat on his forehead. She was overwhelmed with heartache. Although she had blamed her son for not being close to her, he was her life. As a mother, how could she bear to see her child suffer like this? "Dong'er, you've suffered."
Liu Xiangdong gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his legs, and tried to regain some composure on his face. "Mom, I'm fine."
Lady Jing'an felt distressed watching him. She gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and comforted him, "The doctor said that you only broke your leg and it will heal as before. The scratches on your body are just superficial injuries. Don't worry too much. Just rest well these days. Mother will take care of everything in the mansion."
Liu Xiangdong was very happy about his mother's sudden concern. He had angered his mother before and she ignored him. Now, because of this disaster, it was a blessing that his mother could care about him again.
Thinking of this, a well-behaved look instantly appeared on his face, his eyes full of regret. He pulled the sleeve of Lady Jing'an and shook it gently, his voice carrying a hint of grievance: "Mother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so angry with you before. It was my child who was ignorant and made mother sad."
Lady Jing'an's figure stiffened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. Seeing his well-behaved expression, her heart softened, and she said, "Mother doesn't blame you."
A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly. She hated her ruthless husband for treating her like this just for such a lowly person. For so many years, he separated her and her son, making her son so estranged from her.
Liu Xiangdong keenly noticed the strangeness in his mother's expression. He was moved and quickly changed the subject: "Mom, where is Dad?"
The Lady of Jing'an, noticing her son's abrupt shift in tone, was startled for a moment, then hid the resentment in her eyes and quickly resumed her usual graceful demeanor. However, if one listened closely, one could still detect a hint of coldness in her words: "Your father has official business to attend to."
Liu Xiangdong glanced at his mother and sensibly chose not to continue the conversation, but a hint of resentment towards his father welled up in his heart. He thought to himself: My father always said that he valued me the most, but now that I'm injured like this, he's nowhere to be found. I'm afraid he's in Concubine Liu's courtyard again. Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed a little.
Seeing the gloom in her son's eyes, Lady Jing'an frowned slightly, then quickly smiled. This time, it was her turn to change the subject. She reached out a finger and gently touched her son's wrapped leg, trying to sound more relaxed. "Donger, who hurt your leg? Tell me, and I'll avenge you."
Liu Xiangdong's attention had been successfully diverted, but at this moment his mother pointed at his leg, and his attention suddenly returned to the painful injured leg. He couldn't help but take a breath, and his face, which had just improved slightly, instantly became ugly and painful again.
Lady Jing'an was startled and asked hurriedly, "Dong'er, does it hurt?"
Liu Xiangdong bit his lip, trying to endure the pain and said, "Mother, it's okay. You can go back. It's late now. Go back and rest. The child will be better tomorrow."
He deliberately chose to ignore his mother's question. He didn't dare tell her. If she knew that his leg was injured by Ye Yunzhou, who knew what kind of storm it would stir up. He also couldn't explain why Ye Yunzhou would hurt him for no reason. He could only hide it with a trace of resentment, silently praying that his mother would not know about it.
Lady Jing'an saw her son's reluctance to speak, and she was filled with resentment towards those who had hurt him, but she could do nothing about it. Her son had been raised by her husband to be stubborn, and if he didn't want to reveal something, no one else would dare to learn from him.
In desperation, Lady Jing'an had to call the maids and servants who were serving nearby, and carefully instructed them to take good care of the young master, and then turned and left.
.........
Not to mention the many things that happened to Liu Xiangdong, and how he tossed and turned in pain, unable to sleep all night. After dealing with her affairs, Luo Shuiyao slept soundly all night, without dreaming until dawn.
That morning, Luo Shuiyao washed up with Chun Xing's help and hurried to Yu Xiu's residence. She was worried about what happened last night, so she specially arranged for a maid to stay with Yu Xiu, fearing that Yu Xiu would have another extreme thought.
By the time Luo Shuiyao arrived, Yu Xiu had already stood up. Although her life was no longer in danger, her face was pale, her complexion looked slightly weak, and she looked exhausted.
Seeing Luo Shuiyao coming, Yu Xiu hurriedly held up her body, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly called out: "Miss, you are here."
Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao hurried forward, stretched out her hand to stop Yu Xiu from getting up, and said worriedly: "Don't get up, your body is not well yet, you need to rest well these days."
Yu Xiu followed Luo Shuiyao's movements and slowly lay back on the bed. Hearing Luo Shuiyao's words, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, which made her already pretty face even more charming. She said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Luo. I will definitely take care of myself so that I can work for you soon."
