142 There Would Not Be So Many Coincidences in This World
“May I ask, Miss Gu, how is Yi’er doing?” Imperial Duke Zhan had a worried look in his eyes when he mentioned his beloved wife’s condition.
“The Madam is fine now. I will come over to treat her every day for the next three days. After the treatment is over, the Madam will be able to recover. In the future, the Madam can come to Qingyuan town to have a check-up with me every six months, and I can guarantee that she will be fine.” Gu Qingxue paused for a moment, looking at the sky. Then, Gu Qingxue said, “Speaking of which, the Madam should be waking up soon. Miss Qiu Tan, you can go back to the Madam’s side and look after her.”
“No need. I’ll go there myself.” Imperial Duke Zhan could not wait to stand up. After saying that, he left the main hall and headed straight for the backyard.
Seeing this, Gu Qingxue could not help but sigh, “The imperial duke and the Madam are really close.”
“Yes. The imperial duke had doted on the Madam for thirty years. When the Madam gave birth to the Young Master, her body was in poor health, and the Young Master had been weak ever since he was young. At that time, the elders of the family were worried that the imperial duke wouldn’t have a successor, so they kept asking the imperial duke to take in concubines. The imperial duke refused no matter what. In the end, he would rather give up the position of the imperial duke to stay with the Madam for a long time. That was how he stopped the thoughts of those people,” Qiu Yan said with a smile.
“Fortunately, the Young Master has made great achievements in the imperial court. It can be seen that heaven does not disappoint the lovers,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile.
She had vaguely heard that the son of the imperial duke’s wife had been weak and sick since he was young. He could not practice martial arts, so he could not inherit his father’s business.
Fortunately, he was diligent and eager to learn. He was well-versed in the art of war and poetry. Since he was young, his talent was outstanding. He was chosen to be the crown prince’s study companion and often stayed in the palace.
“Qiu Yan, what did you talk about with Miss Gu so happily? Let me hear it,” Madam Qiao walked in with a smile, supported by Imperial Duke Zhan.
She seemed to have rested well. She looked radiant, and even her eyes were much gentler.
Gu Qingxue was not surprised by this.
A person’s good or bad health could also affect a person’s appearance.
Madam Qiao was an example. She felt unbearable pain just by taking a few steps, not to mention greeting others with a smile previously.
“It seems that the treatment just now was very effective. Madam’s complexion looks even better than before,” Gu Qingxue stood up and said with a smile.
“Miss Gu, you don’t have to be so reserved. Treat this place as your own home.” The more Madam Qiao looked at Gu Qingxue, the more satisfied she became. Her eyes were smiling like crescent moons, “Husband, you don’t know how powerful Miss Gu is. Thanks to her, I have a chance to recover.”
“Yes, I know. Please sit down.” When Imperial Duke Zhan looked at Madam Qiao, his eyes were filled with an unresolvable tenderness.
“I want to sit next to Miss Gu,” Madam Qiao requested.
Imperial Duke Zhan agreed without hesitation, “Whatever you want. Come, I’ll help you over. I’ll accompany you.”
Seeing the couple sitting beside her, Gu Qingxue could clearly feel the way Madam Qiao was looking at her. She asked enthusiastically, “Why are you looking at me like that, Madam? Is there something on my face?”
“Ever since I was saved by Miss Gu, I felt that there was a special fate between us. That’s why I went up to the mountain to pray to Buddha and asked for a fortune to tell me everything in my dream. In the end, I had a dream just now. I dreamed that you and I were mother and daughter in my previous life, which is why we have such a fate in this life,” Madam Qiao said, she looked at Gu Qingxue with more affection in her eyes.
Gu Qingxue did not know why Qiao said this, so she replied indifferently, “What a coincidence.”
“There aren’t so many coincidences in this world. There are many things that are inevitable,” Madam Qiao said happily.
“My wife.” Imperial Duke Zhan seemed to realize what Madam Qiao wanted to say and interrupted her, “Even if what happened in your previous life is true, it’s already in the past. Why are you bringing this up?”
