Chapter 575: Chapter 586 She Walked Out of the Deserted Courtyard

Miss Du was indeed seriously ill, but yesterday Gu Youyou had given her an acupuncture treatment, and her condition had slightly improved.

Today, she must take her medicine, otherwise her illness would worsen again.

Sitting in the courtyard and basking in the sun, Miss Du said to Cuiya, "Cuiya, if the second young master hasn’t brought back the medicine by noon, go and find the third young lady."

After a night of thought, she had come to a clear realization; she couldn’t just die like this.

Had it been in the past, she might not have cared for her health, willing to let the sickness take over, to die and thereby end it all. But now, she didn’t want to die, and a fear of death had taken hold in her.

What would become of the Yu Family’s embroidery business if she were to die?

As for Cuiya, seeing a glimpse of the will to survive in her young mistress, she was naturally overjoyed and quickly replied, "Yes, Cuiya will go out now and check, maybe the second young master has already brought back miss’s medicine."

This maid was a woman of action; she went immediately, only to return not long after.

Behind her was the furious Concubine Du.

Since she had kept to this neglected courtyard, it had been a long time since Concubine Du had come to trouble her.

Therefore, Miss Du was quite surprised to see her suddenly.

Oh, that’s right, the second young master had visited last night, and whenever the second young master came to trouble her, the next day she would come to flaunt. She had only been thinking about starting a new life and had almost forgotten this pattern.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Anyway, I won’t be staying here for long."

The second young master of the Jie Residence must have told her about the divorce they discussed last night, to make her happy, he would certainly have mentioned it.

Her agreeing to the divorce was, to the other woman, a matter of great joy.

Strangely, this time Concubine Du didn’t utter any insults or boast, but spoke firmly, "Can you leave this courtyard? If you can, go to the flower hall, someone is looking for you."

Miss Du didn’t look at her, but knew she must have spoken through gritted teeth.

She remembered clearly and understood the promise the second young master had made to her in the past.

When he spoke, aside from providing her with the status of a legitimate wife, she would get nothing, including the honor that came with being the Madame of the younger branch of the Jie Residence.

Therefore, they had exhausted every method to confine her within the inner quarters, never allowing her to meet visitors in the status of a Madame.

But what about today? Was it because of what she said last night?

Miss Du, with a look of surprise, went to the flower hall in the main courtyard with the support of Cuiya.

The second young master’s legitimate wife had arrived, dressed in plain clothes, her hair simply tied up with a jade hairpin, and in addition to her thin figure, the illness brought a paleness to her face, making her whole appearance elegant and peaceful.

Such a delicate beauty, a gentle figure swaying like a willow in the breeze, had lost to the brash, heavily powdered woman just before.

Madam must think it was the independent taste of the second branch member, otherwise, it was truly incomprehensible.

"Madam!" Miss Du bowed slightly as a greeting.

Madam hastily asked her to rise, saying, "I heard the second young mistress was ill, I hope I’m not intruding."

Not just Concubine Du was baffled by Madam seeking out Miss Du but also Miss Du herself.

She reflected upon her own past and realized she had never had any interactions with Madam, nor had their older generations; why was she seeking her out?

Madam quickly addressed Miss Du’s confusion.

She produced a sash and said, "I’ve come to the second young mistress mainly because of this."
