Chapter 1024 Life Is So Hard
Xie Qiao lowered her head slightly and smoothed her slightly wrinkled clothes.
When she went out today, she forgot to change into a new one…
She raised her arm again and sniffed. Fortunately, her body was still relatively clean and did not smell bad.
“If you don’t know how to speak, then shut up! Master is my benefactor. If you continue to spew nonsense, I’ll punch you!” Yu Xian turned her head and shook her fist to scare her cousin.
There was more than one person next to Yu Xian.
The person who spoke just now was the second cousin of the Zhou family. Her name was Zhou Sijin, and beside her were the other three step sisters and cousins of Zhou Weizong.
When they heard Yu Xian’s words, they looked terrible.
Zhou Sijin was a little upset. “Cousin, I’m doing this for your own good. You used to know many shady people, so you didn’t return to the Zhou Residence and let grandmother worry for you. Now that you’re in our family, you naturally have to abide by the rules!”
In reality, Xie Qiao did not really listen to her.
The wind blew until her head hurt.
Her ears buzzed.
As soon as Zhou Sijin finished speaking, Xie Qiao’s legs gave way and she fainted. Yu Xian was quick, which she immediately pulled her into her arms.
Then, she glared angrily at Zhou Sijin. “You shrew, you’ve angered Master that she fainted. If anything happens to her, I’ll definitely chop you up alive!”
With that, she carried Xie Qiao in her arms and asked the attendant to send Xie Qiao’s carriage and things to the Fortune Pavilion. She then carried Xie Qiao to her own carriage and asked the coachman to bring her to the medical hall immediately.
Xie Qiao was always fainting. Back then, in the village at the foot of Water Moon Temple, she would faint several times a day and was often sent to the medical hall.
It was just that over the past year, her body had gotten much better.
She had been a little tired just now, but she had not expected that she would not be able to take
it.
Yu Xian was badly frightened and felt that the master was very weak and pitiful. Thinking that the members of the Xie family seemed to be very familiar with the master, she called someone over to the criminal division and asked Xie Pinggang to come over and make a decision.
On the other hand, Zhou Sijin was so angry that her face turned red. “Ugh! She is so rude! I was clearly trying to persuade her to care about her reputation out of goodwill, but she actually insulted me?! You all heard it. She was the one who bullied me first, right?! Who does she think she is? She’s said to be a cousin, but she’s just an orphan that no one wants. If my Zhou family treats her a little more courteously, does she really think that she’s the eldest daughter of a wealthy family?!”
“Third Sister, don’t be angry. I see that Cousin is nervous. Perhaps this Taoist master is really very important?”
“It’s just a Taoist master, what’s so special about her?!” Zhou Sijin was very angry. She thought for a moment and then spat again, “Let’s go and take a look. I want to ask which noble lady this Taoist master is, to be able to make her disregard her kinship!”
Zhou Sijin stomped her feet and immediately got on the carriage, following Yu Xian.
The carriage ran all the way and soon arrived at the medical hall.
After the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment, he frowned so much that he could squeeze a fly to death. “This Taoist master’s body is very weak. She doesn’t have enough energy. She has been weak since she was born… I’m afraid she must have overworked herself, which is why she fainted. I have no way to treat this illness. However, after resting for a while, she should be able to wake up on her own.”
The doctor shook his head.
“Weak since birth?” Yu Xian frowned. “Is this illness… common?”
“There are quite a few cases, but not many that are this serious,” the doctor said.
It was unknown how this Taoist master had lived to this age.
Yu Xian looked at the Taoist master and muttered to herself, “What kind of strange coincidence is this? The young lady of the Xie family that I like has a weak body. I heard that she’s also been weak since birth. She wheezes every three steps she takes and coughs every five steps she takes. It’s very pitiful. I didn’t expect the master to be like this too… Sigh, so it turns out that everyone else’s life is so hard…”
