Chapter 241 Yurou dies
"We are not guests, but friends of your wife. She is the princess, and I am the prince's consort. Who dares to stop us?"
When Qin Yurou heard that Ye Youlan and Chen Xiaoling came to see her, she quickly asked Chunni to help her get up and dress up. She put some lip balm on her lips, looking much more energetic.
"Help me to the flower hall."
When Qin Yurou saw Ye Youlan and Chen Xiaoling, she wanted to greet them but was stopped by them.
"I've said it so many times, privately we are good sisters, no need for red tape."
Chen Xiaoling helped Qin Yurou sit down. Seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, she asked her what had happened. How could a healthy person suddenly fall ill?
Qin Yurou forced a smile: "It may be related to my last miscarriage. My body is quite weak. I have been taking medicine for the past two days and I feel much better. I couldn't get out of bed a few days ago."
Ye Youlan asked Chunni to go down, as she had something to talk to her wife in private.
Chunni retreated reluctantly.
"Is Li Zong good to you? I heard he's hooking up with that girl again?"
Qin Yurou was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that the thing she had hidden was still known by them.
"My husband is very good to me. He always takes care of me, hires doctors for me, and feeds me medicine. I am not in good health and cannot serve him now. I just turned a blind eye to the girl climbing into my bed."
Chen Xiaoling was so angry that she was speechless: "Qin Yurou, you are the proud and arrogant Qin Yurou, how could you hold back? How many women has Li Zong hooked up with behind your back?"
Qin Yurou blushed slightly and smiled self-deprecatingly, "What can I do? I used to have a father to rely on, but now in this mansion, the only one I can rely on is Li Zong. And there's one thing I haven't told you yet: I can never be a mother again. How can the Li family be extinct? What right do I have to ask him not to take a concubine?"
Ye Youlan sighed, "Don't you think you're living a miserable life? What's the point of living like this? Why don't you divorce me and follow me to my fiefdom, where you can start a new life somewhere where no one knows you?"
Qin Yurou looked at her two friends with a firm attitude: "I won't leave. My father was against me marrying Li Zong, but I insisted. I planned every step carefully and helped him climb up the social ladder step by step. Now you are asking me to give all this to another woman. I will not divorce you, and I will not divorce you. I will stay in the Li Mansion. This is everything I have worked hard to earn, and I will not give up."
"Does it make sense?"
Qin Yurou looked at Ye Youlan and then at Chen Xiaoling. They were her best friends, but she didn't want them to see her at her most helpless.
"When I was little, my father spent more time in the military camp than at home. My mother always felt inferior because she gave birth to a daughter. She would always hug me and cry, and always asked me to find ways to please my father. After getting to know you guys, do you know how much I envied you? I always wanted to compete with you, to prove that I was better than you. I knew Youlan liked Li Zong, so I approached Li Zong and snatched him away. You don't know how proud I was, but now looking back, I realize that I was a fool."
"Don't say that. Actually, you've always been very good. Xiaoling and I like to tease you, not only because you have a twisted personality, but also because you are actually very good. It's just that you always compare your shortcomings with our strengths."
"really?"
"real."
"Thank you. Actually, Li Zong treats me very well. Apart from being easily attracted to women like his father, he has no other shortcomings. No matter how many women he has, I will always be the mistress of the Li Mansion, and no one can take this position away."
"Why are you so obsessed with being the mistress of the house? It's nothing but exhaustion."
"You're the princess, and Xiaoling is the prince's consort. You may not care, but I do. After my mother passed away, the housekeeper took care of the household, but he always said one thing and did another. When I grew up, my father took in a concubine, and everything in the mansion was handed over to her. She was always sarcastic and mocking to me, and it was difficult for me to ask for anything. So I longed to control everything."
"I'll ask Imperial Physician Sun to come and check your pulse. If you want to protect your mistress, you need to be strong. Without a healthy body, the mistress won't be able to hold you steady."
"No need, my husband found me the best doctor in the capital, and the medicine I took these two days has been effective."
After Ye Youlan and Chen Xiaoling left, neither of them spoke, both feeling sorry for Qin Yurou.
Ye Youlan was vaguely worried. She always felt that what should have happened to her had shifted to Qin Yurou. She wanted to save Qin Yurou, but she was powerless.
After returning to the palace, Ye Youlan was in a bad mood. The Seventh Prince tried to cheer her up, but she couldn't laugh.
"Or I can find someone to kill Li Zong."
"Forget it, Qin Yurou can't be a widow. Let's wait and see!"
April came in a blink of an eye, the weather was warm and the flowers were blooming, and the spring breeze was blowing.
Ruoyun gave birth to a boy and Miaoyu gave birth to a girl.
Ye Youlan took Yueyue to visit her younger brother at one house and her younger sister at another, and then went to celebrate her younger brother's full moon banquet and her younger sister's full moon banquet.
Time entered May. During this period, Qin Yurou only asked her maid to come to the house to say that she was fine, but she never showed up.
It rained heavily in May this year, and it rained heavily for several days in a row.
Sometimes when Ye Youlan sits at her desk and hears the sound of rain outside, it always reminds her of the rainy night when her original host died in her previous life. The rain was also so heavy, but that was autumn and now it is summer.
Lying in the arms of the Seventh Prince at night, she was not in the mood to roll in the sheets. She listened to the sound of rain and tears flowed uncontrollably, which scared the Seventh Prince and he asked her what was wrong.
Ye Youlan cried and said, "I don't know what's going on. I want to cry when I hear the sound of rain. Prince, please send someone to check on Yu Rou. My heart is always in knots. I always feel that something bad is going to happen to her."
"Okay, don't cry, I'll arrange someone right away."
The next day, the rain was still falling, heavier than yesterday.
The secret guard had just returned saying that he hadn't heard anything yesterday when the Li family sent someone to say that the lady had died.
The teacup in Ye Youlan's hand suddenly fell to the ground and she fainted.
It rained for many days in a row, so the Li family could not hold a grand funeral. Finally, they simply picked a day and carried Qin Yuruo's coffin out of the city and buried her in the rain.
Miaoyu and Ruoyun were unable to see her off. Ye Youlan was in a daze as if she had lost her soul. Only Xiaoling went to see her off and cried loudly in the rain while hugging Chen Su.
Less than half a month after Qin Yurou was buried, Li Zong married the concubine sister of Lord Xiao from the Ministry of War, and the Li Mansion welcomed a new mistress.
All traces of Qin Yurou's life in the Li Mansion were erased. However, Li Zong would be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, his back covered in sweat.
Ye Youlan also often had dreams. She dreamed that Qin Yurou was lying on the hospital bed, looking haggard and pale, and outside, Li Zong was hugging her left and right.
When she woke up, she kept crying. The Seventh Prince carefully held her in his arms. Since she didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions and just patted her back gently.
