Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 108 Treasure Map, Aunt Yu’s Death (4)
"Miss Fifth, there is no need to threaten me." Aunt Yu's pale lips contained a faint smile.

"I am already a dying person, and I have already put life and death aside. As for Mingrong and Mingyun..." Her eyes drifted away slightly, and she said softly: "They have their own destiny, and the future is in their control hands. I am a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, what can I change?"

Such cold and heartless words actually came from a mother?
Qiu Mingyue couldn't help but glanced at Aunt Yu again, her eyes darkened slightly.

"Besides, with Miss Fifth here, I believe that you will protect them."

Qiu Mingyue smiled coldly on her lips, "What does it matter to me if they live or die? Aunt Yu's words are a little too conceited."

Not only was Aunt Yu not angry when she heard the words, but she smiled slightly.

"It's not conceit, but Miss Fifth, if you want to survive in this compound, you must have helpers."

"Helpers are needed, but it's up to me to choose."

Aunt Yu took a deep look at her, "Miss Fifth is destined to be extraordinary, and she will become rich and powerful in the future."

Qiu Mingyue smiled, "When did Aunt Yu change her career to become a fortune teller?"

Aunt Yu smiled wryly, and Qiu Mingyue's eyes turned slightly.

"Aunt Yu seems to want to die wholeheartedly, isn't she afraid that Seventh Sister and Eighth Sister will be sad?"

Aunt Yu was silent for a while, her tone light and airy.

"Life and death are fate. I have lived so many years, enough."

Qiu Mingyue's willow eyebrows are raised, the tails of her eyes are slightly drawn, and her red lips are lightly parted.

"What if I can cure you?"

Aunt Yu turned her eyes slightly, her smile was clear but empty.

"The body can be cured, but the heart can't be cured, so it doesn't matter." She coughed twice and cried blood.

Qiu Mingyue watched coldly, but did not move.

"Fifth Miss." Aunt Yu's face turned pale again, "Hou's residence is deep, and Qiu's residence is too deep to enter."

"You should tell your grandfather that." Qiu Mingyue said indifferently.

Aunt Yu shook her head with a pale face, and tremblingly grabbed Qiu Mingyue's hand.

"Fifth Miss, only you can save Qiu's family from suffering."

Qiu Mingyue remained unmoved, "Aunt Yu's words are serious, I'm just a little girl, how can I be so responsible?" Her eyes flowed like water, and she smiled gracefully.

"What's more, I think my mother looks up to the Hou's mansion for wealth and wealth. As a daughter, how can I disobey it?"

Aunt Yu shook her head sadly, "It may not be a secret that the Qiu Mansion has a treasure map. I guess the Xue Guohou Mansion has already heard about it. Mrs. Xue Guohou is not a simple woman. If it is just a pure political marriage, there are countless nobles in the capital. Even the Duke's Mansion is much better than a Confucian scholar from the Qiu family."

Qiu Mingyue still had a calm expression on her face, "It's a secret, how do you know about it?"

Aunt Yu choked, she didn't know how to answer, she just looked dazed and confused, as if there was something hard to say.

Qiu Mingyue leaned over, "Auntie, you seem to...know too much and care too much."

Aunt Yu's body froze, Qiu Mingyue stepped back with a silent smile on her face.

"Third Aunt has kept you until now because of this?"

Aunt Yu lowered her head and said, "Not only she knows, but I suspect that the second wife also knows. Otherwise, with her aloof personality, she would have been arguing for a separation."

A trace of strangeness flashed across Qiu Mingyue's eyes, "Really?"

"Yeah." Aunt Yu nodded, "More than that, I think the second lady is...unusual."

Qiu Mingyue smiled, "What's so unusual?"

Aunt Yu's eyes were complicated, "I just suspect..." Before she finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming hurriedly.Qiu Mingrong looked anxious, "Auntie, mother is back."

Aunt Yu turned pale, "Where's Ming Yun?"

"I asked her to decoct medicine for you."

"Hmm..." Aunt Yu was about to speak when the Third Madam asked from outside.

"Where are Miss Seven and Miss Eight?"

"Miss Seven is inside, Miss Eight is going to make medicine."

There was a pause in the footsteps, and the unique soft voice of the third lady came again.

"Isn't today's medicine ready?"

"Today's medicine was accidentally knocked down by the servant girl next to Eighth Miss, and Eighth Miss has already been beaten up."

"Oh?" The third lady seemed to smile, "Mingrong's child has lost his temper, and it's just a trivial matter. Why did he lose his temper?" Even though he said that, there was no trace of scolding or anger in his tone. A little bit of a smile.

Listening to that voice, Qiu Mingyue felt cold from the beginning to the end, never had such a cold feeling.

While talking, the servant girl had already picked up the curtain, and then she saw the third lady walk in.She still had a dignified face, with a bit of soft timidity in her brows and eyes, and a bit of a smile on her lips that naturally faded away.When she saw Qiu Mingrong sitting on the bedside wiping Aunt Yu's sweat carefully and considerately, her smile widened even further.

"Is my sister better?"

Qiu Mingrong got up when she stepped in, and saluted respectfully.

"Mother."

"I'm a concubine..." Aunt Yu tried to stand up and salute the third lady, but she exerted too much force and coughed again.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Auntie!" Qiu Mingrong exclaimed, and quickly covered her lips with snow-white thick juan.

Aunt Yu shook her head, took her hand away, and saw blood as thick as thick, slowly smearing on the thick juan, spotting peach blossoms one by one.

The third lady's eyes flashed a strange light, and she walked over in a few steps.

"Oh my sister, you are not in good health, so don't get up. The water is clear and soft, go and help Aunt Yu."

"Yes." Shui Bi and Shui Rou walked up to help Qiu Mingrong put Aunt Yu on the bed.

The third lady sat on the edge of the bed, there was no lack of worry in her eyes.

"Sister's illness has made her look haggard. I don't know what's wrong with those quack doctors, and they don't see improvement after taking medicine every day. Hey!" She sighed and said again: "Didn't someone tell the master? Why? Still not here?"

Shui Bi lowered her head and said: "Just now I have sent someone to invite you, but the master is now at Aunt Ma's place..."

Aunt Yu's face turned pale again, she was so seriously ill, and her husband was still flirting with other women.How can this make her feel uncomfortable?
The third lady's brows darkened, and she sighed again.

"Master has that temperament." She shook her head, and comforted Aunt Yu thoughtfully.

"But sister, don't worry, the master is a nostalgic person. After two days, when he loses interest in Aunt Ma, he will come back to see you. Don't think too much about it, take care of your illness."

Nostalgia?Lost interest?
