Chapter 563 Lesions
Qian Duoduo looked at the twelfth lunar month and sighed softly.
Bending down, he helped Layue up: "Layue, why are you doing this? If you don't want to stay here, I can let you go. Why do you have to do this? You disappoint me so much."
"Miss, Miss, I don't, I don't mean to leave, Miss, please don't chase me away." Layue knelt down and kowtowed again, as if she was unaware of the pain.
Qian Duoduo stared at the twelfth lunar month in front of him, feeling a surge of complex emotions in his heart.
She could not connect the woman kneeling in front of her with the one she had first met in her memory.
I still remember the first time I met Layue, the first impression she gave me was that she was sallow and thin.
The face that should have been full of youthful vitality was carved with deep and shallow marks by the hardships of life, making it look particularly haggard; and the body was so thin that it seemed as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind.
She was wearing an old dress that was washed so much that it looked bleached and ill-fitting. She stood out among the crowd of people who were chosen, just like the withered flowers on the roadside that had already withered.
However, even for such a seemingly weak child, there is a gleam of stubbornness and indomitable spirit in the depths of his eyes, as if he is silently fighting against fate.
But nowadays...
"Forget it!" Qian Duoduo sighed tiredly, then stretched out his right hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows, as if trying to relieve the boredom and pressure in his heart.
After a while, she raised her head and turned her gaze to Qiu Dong who was standing beside her. She ordered in a cold tone: "Qiu Dong, go find her indenture contract and ask her to pack up and leave here."
Hearing this, Layue, who had been kneeling on the ground begging, suddenly panicked.
Her face was covered with tears, her hands tightly grasped Qian Duoduo's skirt, and she cried out in a trembling voice:
"Miss, Miss, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance! Miss, Miss..."
However, no matter how Layue begged, Qian Duoduo remained unmoved. He just looked at her coldly, as if the crying woman in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Chunxia held up Layue's indenture contract expressionlessly, and then threw it towards Layue without hesitation.
The thin piece of paper drew an arc in the air and fell slowly like a light leaf.
Qiu Dong stood aside, watching La Yue crying so miserably with tears all over her face, and thought to herself:
"Looking so pitiful, I'm sure she won't accept this indenture contract." However, the moment Chunxia threw out the indenture contract, an unexpected scene happened.
I saw Layue rushing forward suddenly as if driven by an invisible force.
Her movements were swift and decisive, as if that was not just an ordinary piece of paper, but the last straw in her life.
Layue opened her eyes wide, stretched her hands desperately into the air, and tightly grasped the falling indenture, fearing that it would suddenly fall to the ground and disappear without a trace.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
Layue's body was trembling slightly, and she held the indenture contract tightly in her hand, as if she would lose everything if she let go.
Everyone around was stunned by Layue's sudden action. No one had expected that the person who had just cried and said he would never leave could now burst out with such amazing strength and determination to snatch her indenture contract.
In fact, even if she didn't make such a big move, no one would be surprised, but she acted too eagerly.
Qian Duoduo stood up and turned to go to Aunt Liu. She was no longer responsible for the follow-up matters and believed that Chunxia and Qiudong would handle it.
Zhou Xiaowei from the mansion had been transferred to the villa by Qian Duoduo a long time ago, and the only elderly people left in the mansion were Aunt Liu, Uncle Li and Layue.
Aunt Liu has been ill, and Uncle Li has a weak leg and is only in charge of the carriages in the mansion, so Layue was given such a big vacancy. It was also my own inconsideration.
"Aunt Liu! How are you?" Qian Duoduo looked at Aunt Liu lying on the bed with surprise, and his heart tightened.
The Aunt Liu in front of him was completely different from the past. Her originally round face had become extremely thin, with high cheekbones and deeply sunken eye sockets. She looked very haggard.
Qian Duoduo walked quickly to the bedside, gently held Aunt Liu's hand, and asked with concern: "Aunt Liu, what happened? Why did you suddenly become so thin?"
When Aunt Liu heard the voice, she opened her eyes with great effort. Seeing that it was Qian Duoduo, she forced a smile on her face and said weakly, "Miss, you're back..." As she spoke, she tried to struggle to get up.
Qian Duoduo quickly held Aunt Liu down and said anxiously, "Aunt Liu, don't move. Lie down quickly! Have you asked a doctor to come and see you?"
Aunt Liu coughed a few times, took a breath, and then answered:
"Ahem... I've already seen him. The doctor said it was because of his old age. His old illness has come back. It might be because the weather has been bad recently, so his recovery is a little slow."
Qian Duoduo frowned, looked at Aunt Liu distressedly, and comforted her:
"Aunt Liu, just rest and recuperate. Don't worry. Be sure to listen to the doctor, take medicine on time, and have a good rest. I believe you will recover soon."
Aunt Liu nodded, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Miss, Layue...is she okay?"
Qian Duoduo patted Aunt Liu's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Aunt Liu. There's nothing going on in the twelfth lunar month. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health. As for other things, I will make new arrangements after you recover from your illness."
Aunt Liu felt more relieved after hearing this and said softly, "That's good, that's good... Thank you for your concern, Miss."
"Why are you being so polite to me, Aunt Liu. You have always been dedicated to the family. Now that you are sick, of course I have to take care of you more." Qian Duoduo said gently.
Afterwards, Qian Duoduo chatted with Aunt Liu for a while, reminding her of various things to pay attention to, until Aunt Liu gradually felt sleepy, and then he tiptoed out of the room.
After Qian Duoduo left, she asked Qiu Dong to find another doctor to see Aunt Liu. She felt that Aunt Liu's condition should not be so simple.
After a new doctor re-diagnosed the patient in the afternoon, he discovered that there was nothing wrong with the previously prescribed medicine, but the medicine only had one-third of the normal efficacy. In other words, the medicine given to Aunt Liu had been diluted.
Of course, it is also made in the twelfth lunar month.
Qian Duoduo didn't expect Layue to be so cruel.
"Miss, do you want to tell Aunt Liu?"
"Let's tell Aunt Liu when she gets better." Qian Duoduo didn't want to help anyone hide her true identity.
