Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 5
"No." Zheng Ruo felt relieved, that piece of gold leaf was still worth using.After a while, blood dripped from my heart again.It was the last golden leaf in the family, and she vaguely remembered that her father told her not to use it until the last moment before leaving.Today, the family is truly destitute.

Zheng Wan stood up, glanced at the pale and sick Zheng Ruo with some disgust, and said to Zheng Ru: "Let's go." She didn't even bother to say a polite word.It was Zheng Ru who took a few steps forward, and said softly to Liu Xu, "Take care of your girl well, and my sister and I will come to see Zheng Ruo in a few days."

"No." Liu Xu replied respectfully with his hands down.

Yang Zhi, who entered the door after the two of them, didn't expect that his girl was really seriously ill, so he hid the whip hidden in the sleeve of his robe more tightly.She stood aside and waited for Zheng Wan and the two sisters to pass by, but when Zheng Wan walked in front of her, she suddenly raised her foot and kicked her calf fiercely, cursing, "You dog slave!"

Yang Zhi was so painful that he didn't dare to speak, so he immediately knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground, begging her not to vent his anger on her again.

Zheng Ruo heard all the movement outside, and she could even think of the painful expression on Yang Zhi's face at the moment.After this incident, Zheng Wan will definitely hate Yang Zhi, right?Then Yang Zhi won't be bought by her again, right?

Liu Xu saw Yang Zhi kneeling on the ground with a deep welt on his back that was still oozing blood, so he walked to her side in a few steps and helped her up.

"Yang Zhi, hurry up and change."

Yang Zhi gritted his teeth and stood up straight, not forgetting to turn his doubtful eyes to the green gauze curtain slightly rippling in the wind, and asked in a low voice, "Is the girl really seriously ill?"

Liu Xu's eyes flickered, she held her hand, lowered her head, and said, "Didn't the doctor just say that? The girl is seriously ill and needs to be recuperated."

"But just before I left, the girl was fine."

"Yang Zhi, the girl fell ill when she was rescued from the lake, and barely woke up when I saw you just now."

Yang Zhi lowered his head and thought for a while, even the doctor said that the girl was seriously ill, and the girl was probably really ill.She limped and went to her house.

Seeing that everyone in the room had left, Liu Xu hurried to the bed and said in a low voice, "Girl, they're all gone."

"Well," Zheng Ruo replied lightly, "Remember, I have always been seriously ill."

"Girl, why is this?"

"Do as I say."

"But... girl..." Zheng Ruo glanced lightly, Liu Xu immediately fell silent, and after a while, said hesitantly, "Girl, how long are you going to be seriously ill?"

Liu Xu looked at the little person on the bed and asked in a low voice.After waiting for a long time to reply, she walked a few steps and saw that the girl had closed her eyes, her breathing was extremely steady, and she seemed to be in a deep sleep.She had a lot of doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask any more.Ever since the girl was rescued from the lake, she vaguely felt that something was different about her there.But a girl is a girl, so how could it be different?
She secretly blamed herself for thinking too much, covered Zheng Ruo with a quilt, and left the room.

Zheng Ruo really fell asleep.The moment she woke up in the lake, her mind was always groggy, as if she had put too many things on her head, and her forehead was throbbing and painful.

The bird standing on the branch by the window was chirping and singing non-stop. The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the window paper and sprinkled on the quilt. Zheng Ruo slowly opened his eyes.

The pillow towel was wet with tears, and the body was dripping with cold sweat.I saw the scenes of the previous life again, the love with Shi Yue when they first got married, and the love for each other afterwards.At first, they should be in love with each other, right?Zheng Ruo himself is not sure, maybe it is.But how long did it last?One month, three months, half a year, one year?She couldn't remember, and didn't intend to.

"Liuxu, Liuxu!" she shouted.

Liu Xu pushed the door open and came in, "Girl, what's the matter?"

"Prepare hot soup, I want to take a bath!"

"Now?"

"Yes." Zheng Ruo got up slowly, and suddenly thought of something, said, "You are secretly, don't let anyone find out. Especially Yang Zhi, don't let her know."

Liu Xu looked at her in surprise, she usually trusted Yang Zhi the most, why did she have to guard against her today?
"Go, let's go." Zheng Ruo's clothes were wet, and he was very uncomfortable, so he couldn't help urging.

"promise."

Not long after, Liu Xu first brought a big bathtub, and then carried bucket after bucket of hot water like a thief.

"Girl, all right."

Zheng Ruo nodded, "Yeah. I'm sorry for you."

Liu Xu's eyes widened. The girl was usually kind to these servants, but she never thanked them.She blinked, and the girl was really different in some places.She heard that some people are easily possessed by some dirty things when they are weak.Girl, could she have been possessed by a water ghost while she was in the lake?Do you want to talk to the Lord Lang about this matter?
She gritted her teeth and glanced at Zheng Ruo who was soaking in the bathtub, and finally retreated outside.After all, a girl is still a girl.If she told the lord that the girl was strange, regardless of whether the lord believed it or not, if she spread the word, the girl would definitely die in the future.She decided to keep the girl's strangeness in her stomach for the past few days, and not let anyone know.

Zheng Ruo didn't know what was going on in Liu Xu's heart outside, so she took off her clothes and lay in the bathtub.The hot air enveloped her, making her feel like she was in a dream.After a while, she picked up the towel and began to rub her body, over and over again.It's as if you want to rub off a layer of skin on your body.But even so, the dirty feeling of being humiliated in the previous life couldn't be washed away.Until the body began to redden, a little pain.She just sank into the water, and bubbles were bubbling on the surface of the water.After a long time, she came out of the water with a splash, and leaned against the tub, covering her face and weeping.The voice is depressed and sad.

After a long time, "Girl, are you ready?" Liu Xu asked in a low voice from outside, "Yang Zhi will get up soon."

"Well," she responded in a low voice.Just when Liu Xu thought she didn't hear, and was about to walk in and say it again, there was another voice from inside, "Wait a minute."
