Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

The girl's body was shaking constantly, and she was swaying like a fallen leaf blown by the night wind.

She obviously couldn't accept for a moment that the once humble and submissive boy in front of her would utter such sharp and harsh words to her. She was the most favored third daughter of the Zuo family, and no one dared to disobey her. Even her eldest brother and father had never said such harsh words to her.

"Brother Ye, you...how can you say that to me?"

Zuo Lanxin was crying so hard that her eyes were wet, which made people feel very distressed. However, Feng Zhanye seemed to have seen nothing and had a blank expression on his face.

The boy's eyes were cold, without a trace of softness in his heart.

The woman's crying attracted a lot of attention, and the maid who usually followed Zuo Lanxin also rushed over.

"I just delivered the hairpins to the young lady, and many ladies followed me to thank you...Ah, why are you crying, young lady?"

The maid hurriedly supported Zuo Lanxin, who was crying and gasping for breath. She raised her head and saw Feng Zhanye and Gu Qingzhi opposite her, and she shut up for a moment.

The two people following her also stopped.

"Sister-in-law..."

When Zuo Lanxin saw Liu Xuefu coming, she quickly took two steps and threw herself into her arms, crying even harder.

This was the first time Gu Qingzhi had seen Liu Xuefu since the day Zuo Chengyu got married. The woman was supported by a maid behind her. Her eyes were a little dull, and her originally fair and smooth face was faintly green and yellow. Her once long black hair had become as white as dead grass.

I heard that she fell seriously ill not long after her marriage. Since then, she never left the house and lived in the north courtyard with Zuo Chengyu's mother, seldom going out.

Now he looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, except that his lips were still pale from illness.

She almost couldn't bear being pounced on by Zuo Lanxin, but fortunately the maid supported her from behind and prevented the two from falling.

Liu Xuefu frowned slightly, raised her eyes and saw Feng Zhanye. She was stunned for a moment before she compared the man who stood out from the crowd with the simple young man she had seen before, and asked softly:

"What happened? Who bullied you? Talk to your sister-in-law."

However, how could Zuo Lanxin tell the story that she, a girl, had just expressed her feelings but was rejected?

How could she keep her dignity as the third daughter of the prime minister's mansion?

The girl just held Liu Xuefu's sleeve and wiped her tears without saying a word.

Seeing her like this, Liu Xuefu turned to face Feng Zhanye and said bluntly, "Even if your Highness is proud now, he shouldn't bully a weak woman at will. I don't know how Lan Xin offended your Highness, but I know that she has always been thinking about your Highness."

It seems that although she is in a deep courtyard, she is well-informed.

Before Feng Zhanye could say anything, Liu Xuefu shifted her gaze to Gu Qingzhi and glanced at her casually.

"Your Highness has repeatedly treated Lan Xin coldly, betraying her kindness. I think you are easily deceived by the slander of the villains around you. Be careful not to be harmed by others."

Gu Qingzhi looked at the Duke of Jin's daughter, who was once dignified and beautiful, and now had to protect Zuo Lanxin. She thought that the incident in the lotus pond last time might not have made her see things clearly. It would be better to say that they were birds of a feather.

She originally felt sorry for the fact that she was harmed by Zuo Chengyu without realizing it, but now she just felt that she was confused and could not blame others.

Zuo Chengyu's biological mother, the wife of the prime minister, was bedridden all day long, and all the glory in the family was taken away by Zuo Lanxin's biological mother, the aunt.

Zuo Chengyu didn't like her third sister at all, but she insisted on being on good terms with Zuo Lanxin, and spoke up for her time and time again, unknowingly angering her husband.

The couple had been married for more than a year, but they still didn't know each other like strangers. This was all intentional by Zuo Chengyu.

Just as Zuo Chengyu could make Guang'an Hou, who had a good alcohol tolerance, get "drunk" at his wedding banquet, he could also make his wife "sick".

Gu Qingzhi knew his methods best.

"Young Madam has just gotten better, so it's not time to get angry. Please calm down, Madam."

Gu Qingzhi deliberately spoke before Feng Zhanye. The young man looked at her and remained silent tacitly.

Liu Xuefu seemed to recall the last incident in the lotus pond and did not look at her in a good mood.

"It's just a blood stasis. My body doesn't need to be worried about by a deceitful person like you."

Liu Xuefu didn't appreciate it, but Gu Qingzhi didn't get angry either. She just kept the conversation going back to her illness.

"I just saw that the scar on Madam's wrist has not healed yet, and I am worried that you may suffer from anemia and blood deficiency, and getting angry may harm your body."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Liu Xuefu's wrist, and saw tiny scars on it.

The reason why Gu Qingzhi suddenly brought it up was that she felt that her scars were very strange, as if they were caused by a sharp weapon cutting her wrists countless times. Combined with the symptoms she mentioned, there was probably only one behavior that could cause such injuries.

bloodletting.

"Young Madam's treatment method is special. I am just worried."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xuefu's expression became a little strange. She pulled up her sleeves to cover the scar on her wrist.

"Don't be so hypocritical. What kind of treatment I use has nothing to do with you?"

This made Gu Qingzhi even more certain that she had guessed right.

However, at what severity of blood stasis does it require daily bloodletting?

Gu Qingzhi remembered that in the previous life, after Gu Fengping opened a clinic, he always said that Yuan Jie's face was green and yellow, which was also a symptom of blood stasis. It was a stubborn disease caused by drinking and eating meat without restraint over time.

But seeing that Liu Xuefu was slender at the time and didn't look like someone who loved to eat and drink, it wasn't difficult to guess where her blood stasis came from.

To treat blood stasis, most of the time you just need to pay attention to eating a light vegetarian diet on a daily basis, and at most use acupuncture to dissolve the blood stasis. Only when the blood stasis is severe, bloodletting will be used when necessary.

In her previous life, she had seen her master's feet become abnormally swollen when he had severe blood stasis. Feng Ping only used a silver needle to prick his toes to let some blood out. Why would he have to cut his wrists?

No matter how you look at it, Liu Xuefu's blood stasis wouldn't have reached this stage. Why did Zuo Chengyu want her to bleed like this?

There is no way to know the truth about this matter, but one thing is certain, to Zuo Chengyu, Liu Xuefu is not like his first wife, but more like a decoration he puts in his home.

Gu Qingzhi didn't care about Liu Xuefu's words and said bluntly, "It's just that the doctor who treated the young lady is probably not very skilled. The young lady might as well go to a few more clinics and try other methods. It's better than suffering like this."

"You are talking nonsense. The doctor who treated my sister-in-law was personally selected by my eldest brother. How could his medical skills not be excellent?"

Zuo Lanxin stopped pretending to cry and pointed at Gu Qingzhi's nose to refute her.

Feng Zhanye stood aside with his arms crossed and interjected.

"Then why not just ask the imperial physician who often treats the prime minister's family?"

Gu Qingzhi closed her mouth which had just opened and turned to look at Feng Zhanye. How did he know what she was going to say?

"Sister-in-law's illness requires constant care, and the imperial physician cannot come to the house every day. Of course, it would be more appropriate to invite another doctor, don't you think so, sister-in-law?"

Zuo Lanxin was still trying to make up for Zuo Chengyu, but when she turned around she saw Liu Xuefu standing there in silence.

She seemed to be thinking about something, and the expression on her face became visibly stiff, as if a layer of hard crust had formed on it, making her already ugly face look even more weird.

As if he had lost his soul, he answered blankly: "Yes... yes..."

When Gu Qingzhi saw her expression, she knew that what they said had worked.

"Young Madam, please take care of your health and don't listen to the slander of villains. Be careful not to be harmed by others."

Feng Zhanye repeated Liu Xuefu's words to Gu Qingzhi exactly as they were, and turned to look at Gu Qingzhi: "Azhi, let's go."
