After wiping the water on her face with her sleeves, Chu Ling went back to reading under the grapevine trellis, as if nothing had happened.
At noon, the meal was ready, and the fragrant sour radish and duck soup was served on the table. Although the soup was delicious and the meat was delicious, Chu Ling, who had severe abdominal pain, couldn't eat it at all.
Shen Wan noticed something strange about him, looked at him with the bowl in hand and said, "Why don't Ling'er eat it? Don't you like it?"
He didn't even take a bite of the rice or soup. Did he not like the sour radish and duck soup? No! This sour radish and duck soup was very successful, both delicious and appetizing.
"I like it," Chu Ling lowered her eyes and said, "It's just that I ate a little too much this morning and I'm not very hungry yet."
Shen Wan glanced at him and said softly: "Since you're not hungry, don't force yourself to eat. I'll leave some for you later. You can eat when you're hungry."
"Thank you, mother." Chu Ling raised her head and forced a smile.
After lunch, Chu Ling excused himself from feeling sleepy and went back to the house to take a nap. However, he did not get up until the sun turned west.
Qiu Ju was afraid that he had slept too much and would not be able to sleep at night, so she went to call him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he heard Chu Ling on the couch, crying out in pain in a voice as thin as a kitten.
She quickly stepped forward, lifted the bed curtain and took a look. She saw Chu Ling hugging her belly and curling up on the couch. Her face was pale, her eyes were tightly closed, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Ling'er, where do you feel pain?" Qiu Ju hurriedly bent down and patted his shoulder.
Chu Ling opened his eyes a little and looked at Qiu Ju, not knowing what to say. He couldn't let his mother and sister Qiu Ju know that he was beaten.
Seeing him holding his stomach, Qiu Ju asked, "But my stomach hurts?" Could it be that he had eaten something bad?
Chu Ling took a few breaths, endured the pain and sat up. She looked at Qiu Ju with a smile and said, "It doesn't hurt anywhere. I was just dreaming! I was dreaming about the day I met Qiu Ju's sister and mother. "
"Really?" Qiu Ju looked at his pale face and the cold sweat on his forehead, and felt something was wrong. Even if she dreamed about being beaten by the eldest son of the Anding Marquis, she could understand that she was so scared that she was sweating, but There is no reason to look pale!
"Well," Chu Ling nodded vigorously, smiled at Qiu Ju and said, "Ling'er won't lie."
After hearing what he said, Qiu Ju said nothing more. She took out her handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Get up! It's time to go to the old lady's place for dinner later."
"good."
So Chu Ling forced himself to get off the bed. After Qiu Ju went out, he opened his clothes and looked at his abdomen. He saw that his abdomen was bruised and purple, which looked a bit scary.
Not long after Chu Ling got up, she followed Shen Wan to the Liu Family Courtyard to have dinner. When she saw Song Ziling, Song Ziling gave him a warning look.
In order not to make people suspicious, Chu Ling forced himself to eat something, but after eating, he felt more and more uncomfortable.
After finishing the meal, I still chatted with Mr. Liu as usual.
While they were chatting, Mrs. Chen, who was taking care of Kong Ruyan's daily life, came over and said she had something important to report, so Ms. Liu let her enter the house.
As soon as the woman entered the house, she bowed to the masters in the house one by one.
"What's the matter with you? Why don't you come here to report it in such a hurry?" Ms. Liu asked, looking at Mrs. Chen who was standing in the room.
Mrs. Chen said: "It is related to the reputation of the eldest lady. I have to report it to the old lady, the general and the ladies as soon as possible."
"Is it related to me?" Song Ziyu frowned. She had been practicing piano in her house recently and rarely went out, so why did something related to her reputation come up?
"You bitch, don't talk nonsense." Song Ziyu scolded her with raised eyebrows.
Mrs. Chen bowed her waist and said, "Even if you give me a hundred courages, I won't dare to say nonsense!"
Shen Wan narrowed her eyes and looked at Granny Chen. What this granny was about to say probably had nothing to do with Song Ziyu's reputation as a best friend. She remembered that the granny had gone to Qiushi Courtyard to report to her that day, and then Who does the governor have to do with?
Mrs. Liu frowned, looked at Mrs. Chen and said, "Speak quickly."
It's a big deal if it concerns Ziyu's reputation as a best friend.
Mrs. Chen took out a book from her arms, held it in both hands and said to Mrs. Liu, "When I was helping Mr. Kong clean up the house today, I found this book under the mattress."
"Book?" Mrs. Liu was a little confused. She found a book. What does it have to do with Ziyu's reputation as a best friend?
Mrs. Chen looked embarrassed and said to Mrs. Liu, "Old madam, you will understand after just one look."
So, Grandma Wang, who was standing next to Mrs. Liu, stepped forward to take the book from Mrs. Chen's hand and handed it to Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu took the book. She was illiterate and couldn't see what was written on the cover, so she opened the book directly.
As soon as she saw the contents of the book, Ms. Liu's face turned red and she threw the book on the ground.
"Quickly, get rid of Mr. Kong soon."
This book turned out to be that kind of dirty book. Mr. Kong looked at someone who was pure and clean, knowledgeable about books and etiquette, but he didn't expect to read such dirty stuff. If she were allowed to continue to teach Ziyu, wouldn't this good child have to do something wrong? She taught her bad things. Moreover, if the news about her looking at such disgusting things spreads, Ziyu's reputation as a good friend will be damaged.
