Lee Chengji had forgotten about this matter after two years. He originally wanted to use Miaoyin to cure Madame Qi's illness and connect the line between them with the Qi Residence. Unexpectedly, Master Qi did not even bother to meet him.
After a while, he forgot about it.
"That's right, that's right. Look at my memory. Miaoyin's medical skills were shallow, so she was lucky enough to cure Madame Qi. However, this isn't something worth mentioning." Lee Chengji chuckled and quickly glanced at Madame Xu. Madame Xu understood and timely said: "Second Miss sent a message to her maidservant just now saying that she is a little tired and has rested for the night."
Exempted from dinner? Qi Hongxuan sneered in his heart. He clearly remembered that when he left Miaoyin's courtyard, he saw the small stove on the stone wall and the small iron pot inside the house. Xiaotao was obviously preparing the dinner of her master and servant, while Madame Xu said that Miaoyin had sent someone to deliver a message to avoid dinner.
Qi Hongxuan's mind was filled with thoughts, but he didn't show it on his face. However, his smile faded slightly as he said, "Why haven't I seen Second Madam here?"
Madame Xu smiled faintly. Her smile was faint, but it was hidden in the depths of her eyes. She seemed to have a big issue with the heart, so she didn't reveal it too often. She said, "Forgive me, Young Master Qi. My sister is suffering from a strange disease and should not be treated as a guest."
Lee Chengji did not seem to know about this, so he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Oh? Have you caught a cold? Is it serious? "
Madame Xu's heart was aching. Darling actually asked for mercy in front of her in-laws. Wasn't this simply slapping her in the face? However, when he thought about it, Qi Hongxuan was sitting there. Perhaps he did it for Qi Hongxuan, but the daughter that Qi Hongxuan was going to marry must have crawled out of Yang Suyun's stomach.
Thinking of this, Madame Xu's mood improved a lot. She then replied, "Master, it's just that there are a few red rash on her face. She should be fine. She has already sent someone to get a doctor. Don't worry, husband."
Lee Chengji nodded. He was quite satisfied with Madame Xu's performance. He gave her a more appreciative glance and felt that she wasn't as ordinary as she usually was. She looked more beautiful than usual. Lee Chengji felt an itch in his heart and thought to himself, "Let's sleep in Madame Xu's room tonight."
The old lady had been secretly sizing up Qi Hongxuan. Seeing Qi Hongxuan's handsome appearance, his majestic bearing, and his elegance, she couldn't help but think to herself that with her family background, he must have taken a liking to Miaoyu. The better it was, the more she wondered, with his personality and background, what right did he have to take a liking to Miaoyu?
Miaoyu was sitting beside him, looking so mean and petty, like a servant maidservant. On what basis did Young Master Qi like her?
Had Madame Xu heard wrongly? The girl Madame Qi was talking about wasn't Miaoyu at all?
But if that wasn't the case, why did Qi Hongxuan accept Miaoyu's invitation to come to the mansion as a guest?
After the banquet ended, Qi Hongxuan said his goodbyes and said that he would often come to the residence as a guest. This made the Countess's doubts clear. If it wasn't for the fact that she was interested in Miaoyu, why would he visit their small Assistant Prefectural Magistrate's residence?
As soon as Qi Hongxuan left, Lee Chengji instructed Madame Xu to prepare more fashionable jewelry sets and new clothes for Lee Miaoyu. He also told her not to let his daughter stand beside Qi Hongxuan and look at maidservant.
After bidding farewell to her father, Lee Miaoyu came to Yun Laiju and informed her mother happily.
He saw an old doctor currently in his mother's room, counting her pulse. maidservant who was standing by the side was extremely worried.
