Chapter 33 The Artificial First Wife in Classical Chinese Texts 4
Hanqiu was Li Mingbao's most trusted maid, but ever since Li Mingbao woke up from her coma, Hanqiu found that she could understand her mistress less and less.
She used to be shy and timid, but now she frequently takes the initiative to contact a married man.
However, Hanqiu could not refute him and could only suppress her thoughts and obey Li Mingbao's orders.
Gu Mansion.
Xu Qi soon found the courtyard where Qingyu was, and unsurprisingly, he was stopped.
"Young master, Miss said you should wait here for her to come out," the maid replied hesitantly, her heart pounding.
The message Qingyu sent was really too much. Given her noble status, she shouldn't be treated so casually.
I thought Xu Qi would be angry, but to my surprise, he nodded lightly and then stood obediently to the side.
This scene left the maids looking at each other in bewilderment, and they couldn't help but feel admiration for their young mistress.
Miss is really something; she's got the young master completely under her thumb!
Qingyu, who was inside the room, kept observing the outside world through the system. Only when she saw that Xu Qi was waiting without a single complaint did she smile with satisfaction.
"You said he would get impatient... Don't you know how charming I am?" Qingyu smiled charmingly, her eyes and brows full of pride.
The system discovered that Xu Qi treated the original owner with indifference and arrogance in the storyline, and then compared that to the present situation...
Even though it had long understood Qingyu's perplexing charm, it was speechless with astonishment.
Indeed, men are boys until they die, and boys always love beautiful women!
"Just don't mess things up..." the system muttered to itself. It decided to give Qingyu a chance to test the world, since it couldn't find any other way out. It might as well try anything!
At that time, Cailian had secretly invited three doctors, and sure enough—
All three doctors diagnosed that Gu's mother had not caught a common cold, but had been poisoned by a chronic poison!
Gu's father quickly came upon hearing the noise. As soon as he arrived, he saw Qingyu instructing Cailian on something. Upon getting closer, he noticed that Qingyu had several packets of medicine in her hand.
He asked in surprise, "This was prescribed by a doctor?"
Qingyu nodded, then shook her head, a hint of shyness appearing on her jade-like face. She slowly explained, "This prescription was written by a doctor from the Xu family. That doctor came from the Imperial Hospital and is quite skilled... Although he didn't take Mother's pulse, he just showed it to other doctors, and this prescription seems to be working well for now."
After all, Qingyu prescribed the medicine based on descriptions of Gu's mother's illness in the plot. She couldn't guarantee that it would be completely effective, but she was confident in her medical skills and believed they were definitely better than those of ordinary doctors.
Not to mention that in her previous life, she spent a lot of time with Song Jinnian, which made her medical skills even more proficient and refined.
Upon hearing this, Father Gu's eyes lit up. Without a doubt, he immediately told Cailian to go and prepare the medicine. Then he arranged for several doctors to stay and discussed the subsequent treatment.
With this delay and entanglement, time flew by. When Qingyu went out, she realized that Xu Qi had been standing at the door for more than an hour...
She approached gracefully, and Xu Qi quickly stepped forward with a smile, gently gazing at Qing Yu. The more he saw those bright, clear eyes, the greater Xu Qi's sense of satisfaction became.
Are you tired?
Qingyu shook her head and blinked. "Why don't you leave?"
Xu Qi chuckled, his handsome face full of doting affection. "You are my wife, and I'm willing to wait for you no matter how long it takes."
"If someone else were your wife, would you be this attentive?" Qingyu's lips curled slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. In the original story, Xu Qi was obsessed with love and remained chaste, but the original owner suffered the most.
You said you'd rather be a monk for life and never get married, but you were a coward and married anyway, yet you were thinking of someone else and betrayed your wife...
Qingyu admits that she has no conscience, but she feels that Xu Qi has even less conscience.
The seemingly contradictory words intensified Xu Qi's unease. He was now certain that Qing Yu must have learned something about his affair with Li Mingbao...
Thinking of this, a flash of fierceness crossed Xu Qi's eyes.
If he finds out who it is, he'll make them pay!
"I'm doing this only for you!"
The forceful and firm words sounded like a joke to Qingyu. She chuckled and nodded indifferently.
"Let's go back."
Xu Qi's face was tense, his thin lips pressed tightly together. He knew that Qingyu no longer believed him, but he didn't have the courage to tell her the truth, so he could only follow her step by step.

There has been some unrest in the city lately. As a general, Xu Yushu does not have to go to the battlefield, but he is required to protect the safety of the palace at all times.
For example, this time, assassins appeared around the palace and repeatedly attacked the ladies and young women entering and leaving the palace, causing quite a stir.
However, the assassin was elusive and there were no good clues, so there was no way to investigate for the time being. Apart from training soldiers, Xu Yushu spent his days running errands and had not returned home for some time.
Just as he was about to head back that day, he encountered a wandering monk on the road. The monk approached him and said something that deeply troubled Xu Yushu—
"General, you are destined to be a lonely star, but fortunately, the heavens have taken pity on you. In the future, a noble lady will take the initiative to marry you, which can resolve your fate!"
A cursed lone star...
It had been a long time since anyone knew Xu Yushu's secret. Now that it was being mentioned, his first reaction was to draw his sword and rush over, his sharp eyes looking as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Speak! Who told you to say these things!"
The wandering monk showed no fear, his face calm and composed. He smiled slightly and said, "It is naturally arranged by Heaven. If the general does not believe me, then pretend I did not say anything."
After saying that, he turned to leave, his steps steady and his demeanor extraordinary.
This made Xu Yushu, who had always been somewhat superstitious, hesitate. His eyes flickered with light, but in the end, he put away his sword with a grim face.
It is not appropriate to kill someone in public.
He turned his head and instructed his subordinate, "Follow him and see who he is."
The men immediately took the order and left.
Having gone through this experience, Xu Yushu had some thoughts, which made him somewhat caught off guard when Li Mingbao stopped him.
"Xu Yushu, I want to marry you!"
The girl in fiery red had striking features that immediately caught the eye. Her lively and unrestrained temperament was like a poppy on a cliff, alluring to all.
However, this did not include Xu Yushu. On the contrary, what came to his mind in an instant was the slender figure in a wedding dress in the hall that day.
He even thought—this red isn't as red as it was that day, and perhaps it's not as beautiful as it was that day.
This thought weighed heavily on Xu Yushu's heart. He took a step back and said seriously, "I wonder if this young lady is drunk? Someone, take this young lady home!"
Li Mingbao's confident smile froze on her face. Since her rebirth, everything had gone smoothly for her; she had never experienced any setbacks, especially because she had already investigated before confessing her feelings.
Xu Yushu is a meticulous and rigid person, so it's only right that a flamboyant and passionate beauty like her takes the initiative to approach him!
But how could it have failed?!
Li Mingbao suppressed her resentment and smiled even more charmingly, "Xu Yushu, I am the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor. My affection is passionate. You are not used to it now, but you will know how deep my feelings are in the future!"
