Chapter 1194 The Sickly Child Who Was Schemed Against 8
The doctor prescribed medicine for Liu Meier, and after the medicine was brewed and given to her, Liu Meier slowly woke up.
"It's good that you're awake," Caiyu said, looking down at Liu Meier lying on the bed. "Luckily, the Crown Princess was kind-hearted and brought a doctor for you in time, otherwise you would probably have lost your life today."
"Please thank the Crown Princess for me," Liu Meier said in a hoarse voice. "Caiyu, we've worked together for so many years, and we've served the Crown Princess since we were little. So could you please plead with the Crown Princess for me to transfer me back to serve her?"
“Sigh!” Caiyu sighed. “It’s not that I don’t want to plead with the Crown Princess for you, but what you did was just too outrageous. How can I plead with the Crown Princess for you?”
"However, the Crown Princess still cares about you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor when she learned that you had fainted. You should reflect on your actions. I think the Crown Princess demoted you to a lowly maid just to teach you a lesson, not because she really dislikes you."
Liu Meier was secretly filled with resentment. She spoke more eloquently than she acted, but in the end, she just didn't want to plead for her with that bitch Jiang Chunxi.
“By the way, the Crown Prince had Tao Xiang serve him again tonight,” Cai Yu said with great interest, her smile incredibly bright. “The Crown Princess has already promoted Tao Xiang and the others to concubines, and even the two people the Princess bestowed upon her have all been promoted to concubines.”
"Not only that, the Crown Princess also asked the Queen to help the Crown Prince find a few more fertile concubines. The Crown Princess is really going to great lengths to ensure that the Crown Prince has an heir. I believe that it won't be long before the Crown Princess gets her wish and can soon adopt a child to raise by her side."
“I am truly happy for the Crown Princess. Now that she has adopted a child, she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life. After all, a woman ultimately depends on her son.”
Liu Meier felt as if she was about to vomit blood: "If the Crown Princess could get what she wants, that would be wonderful, but..."
Liu Meier sat up, her body weak: "I'm just worried that it might fuel the ambitions of some people. After all, if a child is raised by the Crown Princess, how can the birth mother not develop ambitions?"
"Therefore, regarding the matter of the Crown Prince's offspring, you should advise the Crown Princess not to be too hasty. It's better to first understand the character of those concubines. You know, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and rats beget sons who know how to dig holes. If the mother's character is not upright, then the child born will probably be an ungrateful wretch."
“According to what you’re saying, if the Crown Princess wants to adopt a child, wouldn’t she have to go through eighty-one hurdles to figure out the nature of those concubines?” Caiyu rolled her eyes and said, “Heh! If that’s the case, when will the Crown Princess be able to adopt a child?”
"Alright, you should focus on getting better! You don't need to worry about the Crown Princess adopting a child," Caiyu said impatiently. "Honestly, you're just a lowly maid now, how dare you worry about the Crown Princess like this?"
After saying that, Caiyu turned and left.
Liu Meier's expression turned so angry it was almost ferocious, and then tears started streaming down her face.
Song Zhende, you heartless man! How could you be so cruel? I'm being tormented and tortured, while you're enjoying the company of another woman.
In fact, Liu Meier could understand Song Zhende, but when it comes to feelings, understanding alone is not enough to make one let go. What woman could accept her beloved man being intimate with another woman?
And most importantly, surrounded by so many beautiful concubines, can Song Zhende still maintain his original intention and love her as before?
No, this can't go on.
Otherwise, putting aside whether Song Zhende would change his mind, she herself couldn't stand being tormented like this by that old hag Liu Mama. Her life would probably be over soon.
Time quickly came to the day of the three-day homecoming. Early that morning, Song Zhende accompanied Jiang Chunxi back to the Jiang family home.
It is worth mentioning that the medicine Jiang Chunxi gave to Liu Meier's mother was not just meant to make her sick, but was intended to kill her.
So, when Jiang Chunxi returned from the Jiang family, she brought Liu Meier some terrible news: her mother had died the night before.
“This…this is impossible,” Liu Meier said, tears streaming down her face, her expression full of disbelief. “Your Highness, are you joking with me? My mother only caught a cold, how could she suddenly be gone?”
Liu Meier had been hoping that her mother would recover and come to Prince Cheng's mansion to continue serving Jiang Chunxi. If her mother could come to Prince Cheng's mansion, her current predicament would be resolved. Even if she couldn't continue being a head maid, she certainly wouldn't have to be a lowly maid anymore.
She was still thinking about how to bring her mother to the Prince Cheng's mansion after she recovered from her illness, but she never expected to hear the devastating news of her mother's death. How could Liu Meier accept this news in such a short time?
"Oh! Please accept my condolences!" Jiang Chunxi sighed. "Life is unpredictable. Who would have thought that a mere cold could take your mother's life?"
"Your Highness," Liu Meier knelt down, "I beg Your Highness to let me go back, to let me go back to wear mourning clothes for my mother and send her off on her final journey."
After saying this, Liu Meier slammed her forehead on the ground, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred.
She couldn't believe her mother had died from a minor cold; someone must have poisoned her. So she had to go back and find out the truth. If her mother had indeed been murdered, then the person who killed her was probably that vile woman, Jiang Chunxi.
It wasn't that Liu Meier wanted to suspect Jiang Chunxi, but rather that she couldn't think of anyone else besides Jiang Chunxi who could have killed her mother.
The reason Jiang Chunxi killed her mother was probably because she suspected something between Jiang Chunxi and Song Zhende.
Therefore, Liu Meier was filled with both hatred and panic. After all, if Jiang Chunxi really suspected her and Song Zhende of something, then she would probably be killed next.
“That’s only right,” Jiang Chunxi said. “I’ll give you a few days off to go back and handle your mother’s funeral.”
“Caiyi,” Jiang Chunxi then looked at Caiyi and said, “Go and prepare some things for Mei’er to take back. After all, she is my wet nurse, and as her mistress, I should do my part.”
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi's eyes reddened, and she looked very sad.
"Princess Consort, please don't be sad," Cai Tang quickly advised. "If Granny Wu is watching from heaven, she wouldn't want to see you so heartbroken because of her death."
“Princess Consort,” Liu Meier raised her head, tears streaming down her face, “Caitang is right. If my mother were alive, she would certainly not want to see you grieving over her death. After all, she regarded you, her mistress, as her lifeblood.”
