Chapter 14 – Comforting Herself (3)
Aunty Lian sighed.
Master and Madam had been married for three years. She could tell how in love they were. Now that Master was gone, how could Madam not be sad. She wondered how long it would take Madam to heal.
It was not healthy to keep it all inside. She didn’t want Madam to get sick from her sadness.
Fu Sinian, watching it all from the side, snickered. What he really wanted to tell Aunty Lian was, Don’t bother worrying about her. That heartless woman was doing just fine!
“Madam, you should go out for a little bit in a couple of days.”
Yu Duo looked disinterested in that suggestion. Sluggishly, she said, “Mm, we will see.”
Aunty Lian knew that there was not much she could say. She sighed to herself and nagged her to drink her herbal soup before she left.
After Aunty Lian had left, the smell of the herbal tea drifted to Yu Duo’s nose and made her frown.
Her body was perfectly fine. Other girls might feel like they would die during her period, but not her. She was completely unaffected by it.
Thinking about how she had been in the last few years, Yu Duo couldn’t help but sigh. She had sacrificed so much in order to stay in character with her Chinese dodder image.
What she wouldn’t do to be Fu Sinian’s kept woman? She could even drink bitter herbal tea like this. That was something.
Now that Fu Sinian was gone, there was no way she’d continue to torture herself like that!
She picked up the bowl of herbal soup and gave the entire bowl of herbal soup to the toilet.
As soon as Yu Duo started walking towards the bathroom with the bowl of herbal tea, Fu Sinian had a pretty good idea what she had in mind.
He remembered how she used to snuggle up to him, looking pale, and whined about having him rub her belly for her while moaning the entire time. He totally fell for that.
And he fell for that for three whole years?
Three years!
He had been her massager for three year!
Yu Duo, unbelievable!
He snickered and passed through the bedroom wall into the hallway. Looking at Aunty Lian, who was still sighing as she was walking away, he slowly opened the room door.
SQUEAK!
Aunty Lian heard the sound of the door opening and turned around dubiously. She pushed the door open just in time to see Yu Duo walking out from the bathroom with the empty bowl and the noise of the toilet flushing resounded in the quiet mansion.
Yu Duo was caught red handed.
“My Madam, what did you do? You can’t not drink your herbal soup just because Master was gone!” Aunty Lian knew what was going on as soon as she saw Yu Duo. She walked over to her full of sadness and snatched the empty bowl from her hand. “Yes, Master was gone. But life goes on. What would Master think if he knows?”
Yu Duo couldn’t find the right words to say to Aunty Lian.
And why did Aunty Lian came back after she had left anyway? That was unusual.
“I….”
“Madam! I don’t want to nag you. I am just a maid and don’t have the authority to nag you, but I must say my piece. Master had spent so much time in nurturing your body, you can’t just let all his effort goes to waste just because he was gone. Can you imagine how sad he’d be if he finds out?”
“Aunty Lian, please don’t be upset. I ….”
