Chapter 2234: Spring is not too late
After three or five days, Shi Li thought that everything for the birthday should be ready, and it would not be wise for her to continue being sick, so she called the doctor for another examination.
With the previous experience, the doctor was familiar with the procedure and casually took the pulse and said, "The girl is well now."
"Thank you, doctor." Qiu Zi hurriedly handed over the silver bill that she had prepared earlier.
The doctor accepted it with a clear conscience, a satisfied smile on his face, then he looked around and lowered his voice, "Miss Shi is a smart and generous person. It just so happens that I have something else that I want to discuss with Miss Shi."
Mrs. Fang worked hard for several days and nights, and finally managed the matter with the help of her maid.
When I was finally able to relax, I heard that Shi Li's illness had recovered, and I was immediately furious.
"This girl, when she's needed, she gets sick. Now that everything is fine, she's fine."
Mrs. Fang held back her anger and had to invite Shi Li into the house in a friendly manner.
The weather was getting colder, and Shi Li wore a bright red felt coat when she went out. The snow-white fluff around her collar made her skin look whiter than snow, and her whole body looked crystal clear.
As soon as she entered Mrs. Fang's room, her eyes widened.
One reason was because of Shi Li's appearance, and the other was because of her low-key but priceless clothes.
The value of some things does not lie in how many jewels and precious stones they are decorated with. Every lady has a pile of gold hairpins and head ornaments to show off, but a set of precious felt like Shi Li's is not something that ordinary people can own.
Mrs. Fang thought about what her mother-in-law had said. No matter how much she disliked Shi Li, she did feel that she was more suitable to marry into the Fang family and become the next mistress of the household.
As for her own niece, it was not a grievance for her to be a concubine.
"Good child, it's cold outside and you have just recovered from your illness. You shouldn't walk around casually." Mrs. Fang said these caring words, but her eyes were still looking Shi Li up and down.
Shi Li felt uncomfortable with her gaze, so he just said some polite words to show his etiquette, and then asked Mrs. Fang if there was anything he could do for her.
Mrs. Fang suppressed her dissatisfaction and shook her head repeatedly.
The two talked for a while, and then they heard footsteps outside, and Zhao Qianyue came over.
She finally held back her anger and came to Mrs. Fang's place every day to report. When she entered the room and saw Shi Li was there, a trace of impatience and vigilance flashed across her eyes.
"Is sister Li feeling well? I'm worried that if I go over to disturb her, it would delay her rest, but I think about her every day." Zhao Qianyue was the most talkative, and she came over with an affectionate look on her face.
But everyone knows how much truth and falsehood there is in this statement.
Shi Li didn't pay any attention to her words and immediately thanked her for her concern and wanted to take advantage of her appearance to leave.
"That's perfect. I'll go back with my sister and have some heart-to-heart talks with her." But no one knew what Zhao Qianyue was thinking. She had just arrived, but she insisted on leaving with Shi Li.
The courtyards where the two lived were far apart, but she insisted on saying that she would see him off.
Shi Li couldn't resist, so she just walked silently on the road.
"My sister has been ill these days, but no one has come to visit her. I thought my cousin lives so close to my sister, so he should come to visit her every day, right?"
Zhao Qianyue knew clearly that Fang Yu was being harassed by the maids in the yard these days and had no time to see Shi Li, but she said this anyway. It was obvious that she said it on purpose to make things difficult for Shi Li.
She judged others by herself, but she didn't know that Shi Li was so eager not to see Fang Yu that she didn't even want to pay attention to her.
Zhao Qianyue took her silence as sadness, and felt even better.
The two walked through the flower corridor and headed towards Shi Li's yard.
Suddenly, I heard a voice from behind shouting "Sister Li!"
Fang Yu happened to see them from behind and chased after them. At this moment, his eyes were only on Shi Li and he didn't even notice Zhao Qianyue who was standing next to them.
When he got closer, he looked at Shi Li from head to toe like his mother did, and said with a smile, "Look at your sister. She is doing much better now."
"Yes, I'm fine now." Shi Li said perfunctorily, and quickly coughed twice, "But I still have a little cough. I'll go back first."
She walked very quickly, and before Fang Yu could react, she left him and Zhao Qianyue behind in the distance.
