Jun Jiuling - Chapter 138

Chapter 138
Liu’er shrieked, the lingering effects of which caused the servants around her to cover their ears .


Liu’er shook them off .
"What are you doing! You bastards!" she yelled angrily, glaring at the servants .
"Miss Liu’er," they started with a smile . "Don’t hurt yourself in anger . You might hurt your hands . It’s not worth it . "
Liu’er spat contemptuously .
"I’m not a fool," she delivered . "Do you think I can’t tell you’re protecting that hussy?"
She said this with pain and anger .
"You aren’t just bullying me, you’re bullying my family’s young miss!" she shouted . "Do you think we’re scared of you? Let me tell you, I’m not afraid! Even if there were more of you, I wouldn’t be scared!"
She slammed her head into Lingzhi who was hiding to the side .
Lingzhi shrieked and ran, but she was still one step slower than Liu’er .
Liu’er crawled over her .
"If you don’t drink it, then I will wring your neck," she declared, clenching a hand around Lingzhi’s neck .
The servants lept forward in fright .
Concubine Yuan and Concubine Su didn’t dare watch the activity . They were about to step forward when Lady Fang arrived .
Cries of "Lady is here!’ could not get Liu’er to loosen her grip .
Lady Fang did not reprimand her . Rather, she waved a hand, and several of the servants behind her stepped forward . While consoling Liu’er, they attempted to stop her .
One of the servants took out a bowl of medicine from the food tray and swapped it with the medicine Liu’er had brought .
Concubine Yuan and Su were shocked, but they understood .
Lady Fang had come . As expected, she wouldn’t let go of their hope . She wouldn’t let that servant girl who had had a sexual encounter with Fang Chengyu to take the medicine .
Concubine Yuan gave a ‘I told you so’ look to Concubine Su .
"Okay, okay, come here now . "
After seeing that the servants had switched the medicine, Lady Fang spoke .
Without hesitation, the servants pulled Liu’er and Lingzhi apart .
Liu’er saw Lady Fang and got even angrier .
"Not even the emperor dares go against my young miss’ orders!" she declared, struggling violently . "Unless you choke me to death, don’t even think of stopping me . "
Lady Fang frowned at her .
"She didn’t take the medicine? What’s this fuss for . Go and take it . "
Liu’er was stunned, while Lingzhi paled .
"Miss Liu’er, is it this one?" Concubine Yuan held up the bowl of medicine Lady Fang had swappped out . "I will feed it to her . "
She speedily advanced over to Lingzhi, reaching out to grab her chin .
Lingzhi cried and shook her head and shrunk back .
"I want to see Young Master, I want to see Young Master," she sobbed .
If a servant girl was like this some other time, Lady Fang would have directly slapped her . She could not act so .
Why would Chengyu favor this servant girl .
This was her fault, but who would have thought Fang Chengyu could reach the point . At this age, they hadn’t given him his pick of people .
As a result, he took to the first servant girl .
"I told you to drink it so you’ll drink it . You can’t see young master," she said, brows furrowed .
Lingzhi’s tears wouldn’t stop .
"Why are you listening, girl!"
Concubine Yuan seemed anxious . She gripped Lingzhi’s chin, forcefully tilting it upwards .
"Right, hurry up and drink . "
"You do not know true hardship . "
"If you don’t drink, should we just sell you?"
The servants caught on to Concubine Yuan’s intentions and began to shout . The room became noisy .
Concubine Yuan leaned in close to the distressed Lingzhi .


"Lady already switched the medicine . It’s now good for you . Lady would not hurt the person Young Master favored," she whispered . "This is to deceive Young Lady . "
Lingzhi’s eyes showed her shock .
Concubine Yuan pushed her again .
"Drink it," she commanded .
Liu’er pushed the servants blocking her away .
"I’ll do it myself," she said, wrestling away the bowl from Concubine Yuan’s hands .
Liu’er did not directly feed it to her, first taking a look at the bowl .
She remembered clearly that she had used the famille rose bowl .
That’s right . And there was enough medicine left after splashing .

"Leave," Liu’er said, relieved . She squeezed past Concubine Yuan and grabbed Lingzhi to pour it down .
This time, LIngzhi cried but seemed unable to avoid drinking it . She choked and coughed as it went down .
Liu’er would not let even one drop remain .
"You slut dirtied my hand," she declared . She threw the famille rose bowl on the ground, then swaggered off .
Lingzhi fell to the ground unable to catch her breath .
"Look after her," Lady Fang said, then left .
Concubine Yuan reminded the servants to help Lingzhi, but Concubine Su had walked over first and extended her hand .
"Don’t cry . Crying will only irritate people," she said . She wiped the medicine spilled over Lingzhi’s body with a handkerchief .
Lingzhi was overwhelmed by favor from her superior .
Was this a benefit of becoming Young Master's favored person?
"Hey, don’t mind her . There’s a lot of people here," Concubine Yuan told Concubine Su . "Let’s get going . "
She turned around and left . Concubine Su let go of Lingzhi and tucked her handkerchief back in her sleeve before leaving .
. . . . . . .


"How is he?" asked Old Lady Fang when she saw Lady Fang enter .
"She [1] is fine . I have someone looking after her . " She paused . "I didn’t ask one of the older maids to look after her body…"
"I wasn’t asking about her," Old Lady Fang said with a frown . "I was talking about Chengyu . "
Lady Fang couldn’t contain her excitement .
"Mother, Chengyu is great! Even after doing that kind of thing he is not tired at all . His mind is sharp," she reported excitedly .
Because she had heard it from Miss Jun before, Old Lady Fang wasn’t that excited by Lady Fang’s reaffirmation .
Instead, she was solemn because of the impending danger .
"Mother," began Lady Fang uneasily . "Is Zhenzhen unhappy because of what Chengyu did?"
But it was clearly said to be a fake marriage . Chengyu sleeping with another servant girl shouldn’t be too bad . Would she even let her be like that?
Old Lady Fang gave her a look . She didn’t blame her for being preoccupied with this trivial matter . Fang Chengyu being cured was too big of a deal for a mother .
"What’s that servant's name?" asked Old Lady .
This time she was asking about that servant girl .
"Her name is Lingzhi," Lady Fang said . "She has been with Chengyu for five or six years . Although she only did miscellaneous chores, she was very thoughtful when waiting on Chengyu . "
Old Lady Fag repeated the name several times .
"She volunteered?" she asked .
Lady Fang broke out into giggles .
"Mother, Chengyu is better, but he can’t even stand straight . If she didn’t want it, how could Chengyu do such a thing?"
It was like saying her son was a sex offender .
Lady Fang could not help but press a hand to her face, embarrassed .
"That’s good," she said . "Did she drink the supplement?"
Lady Fang nodded .
"Mother, could she have taken with child in just one try?" she asked excitedly .
Old Lady Fang rubbed her forehead .
"You will just have to see, now that she’s taken the tonic . " Then more seriously she added, "Be careful of someone trying to take action . "
"Yes, Mother . I will keep her near me, to prevent Liu’er from hurting her . "
Old Lady Fang looked at her with a strange expression .
"What will Liu’er do to her? Now that everyone knows Chengyu is well and could get a servant girl pregnant, our enemy definitely will know too . We need to guard against them . What are you thinking about?" she asked .
As if lighting had struck, Lady Fang broke out of her delirium .
She was too happy . She had forgotten about this .
"Mother, we need to investigate the people who leave here in the next few days . " She became calm again .
Since Jun Zhenzhen had brought up an enemy hurting three generations of their male heirs, they had investigated everyone in the house . Indeed, there was a lot of strange activity, but to prevent beating the grass and scaring the snake, they had to pretend they didn’t know what was happening . They could only secretly strengthen the guard .
Now Fang Chengyu had taken a better turn, so to prevent him from regressing, they would need to eliminate those people .
"There is no meaning in doing that now . That would just expose us," said Old Lady Fang .
But haven’t they already been exposed? Chengyu was obviously much better . Wasn’t the marriage cover up for treating Chengyu been completely revealed?"
"Of course we haven’t been exposed . "
Old Lady Fang thought of what Miss Jun had said in the study .
She had lifted the brush and wrote down characters on the paper .
"We only verified the rumor that we want Chengyu to have a child . We still don’t know that Chengyu was poisoned, we can’t know who the person behind this is . "
She took the paper and then passed it to Old Lady Fang with a smile .
"They don’t know we know . We must wait for them to come to our door to act . We are not the meat on the chopping block . They are . "
Old Lady Fang subconsciously took the page and looked at the names of the drugs written on it . It was another prescription .
But her attention was not on the prescription .
"So you’re saying we will soon meet our enemy?" she asked .
Miss Jun put down the brush and smiled .
"Yes . Aren’t you happy?"
