C3 Capriciousness

The maid fled in fright, leaving behind only the newly-wed couple in the bridal chamber. As a result, the atmosphere became even more awkward and awkward.

The flickering red candle light filled the entire new room with a festive atmosphere. The bright-red quilt, the bright-red bed curtain, everything that entered one's sight was filled with a joyful feeling.

In her heart, Liu Qingqing wasn't happy in the slightest.

"Gu Gu", at this moment, her stomach started to growl even more miserably than her own. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground for herself to crawl into. She was almost too embarrassed to face anyone.

Whenever the sound wasn't good, he had to do it right in front of Second Young Master Liu.

Before she had come through, she had been asleep. The previous dinner had already been digested, and after coming through, she had not even touched a drop of rice from this foreign world. At this time, her stomach was in a tumult, and she was singing the song of an empty city. It was just that the timing was not right.

"Are you hungry?" Second Young Master Liu didn't say anything. The moment he opened his mouth, he was immediately shocked.

Liu Qingqing replied in a low voice, embarrassed. She felt that it was impossible to cover it up. It would be strange if this person did not hear the loud voice earlier.

"There should be something to eat on the table. You can fill your stomach for now!" Second Young Master Liu saw a few dishes on the table from a distance. He predicted that there would be something to eat and kindly reminded them. However, when he spoke, his expression was a little sickly and he looked very weak and tired.

Liu Qingqing stood up from the collapsed table and moved to the table. She looked down at the table and found that there were indeed some things to eat, but they were all peanuts and buns. There was also a bottle of wine and two empty small wine glasses.

Although peanuts and cinnamon buns were not as tasty as rice and vegetables, much less as snacks, she was indeed extremely hungry. She immediately grabbed a handful of peanuts, peeled one of the peanuts and impatiently put it into her mouth.

"Aiya!" She cried out in surprise after chewing the food. "Why is it raw?"

She was a bit annoyed and threw the peanuts to the side. She picked up Gui Yuan beside her and took another bite. It was actually dry and hard as well.

Second Young Master Liu's expression changed and he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Peanut... This lady, the wife he married into the family, this seemingly pretty and delicate wife, could it be that her brain was made of tofu?

In the wedding chamber, the elders would put in some raw peanuts and cinnamon dumplings, which meant wishing the newly-wed couple a happy marriage. That's why they use these raw things.

Even if she, a little girl, didn't know that she had never left the pavilion to marry, shouldn't her mother-in-law remind her of something before she married?

"Take care of it first. It's not like you can call the servants outside to bring in food at this time." Second Young Master Liu restrained himself, then reminded him again out of the kindness of his heart.

"Forget it, I'll deal with it first!" She was very hungry and wanted to be picky, but she didn't have the conditions. She could only bite the bullet and stuff a few more peanuts into her mouth.

Actually, eating raw peanuts like this wasn't as bad as he imagined. Fortunately, the peanuts in this strange world tasted even better than those in the modern world. It was probably because they were harvested from natural sowing.

Second Young Master Liu sat quietly on the side. The way his new daughter-in-law looked when she was eating was not elegant at all. She ate hurriedly, without the dignity and gentleness a lady should have.

"Cough, cough …" At this moment, Second Young Master Liu started to cough violently again. His cough was uncontrollable. It made him even weaker, as if his lungs were about to be coughed out.

Out of a doctor's instinct, Liu Qingqing stopped eating and looked at Second Young Master Liu worriedly. He was already her husband's young man.

"Erm, you usually see a doctor right? Did the doctor prescribe medicine for you? Where do you keep your medicine? " In her anxiety, her brain directly asked this question without thinking.

After asking this question, she realized that this was no longer the modern society that she was familiar with. The so-called western medicine and western medicine should not exist in this era.

Perhaps it was because the coughing was too loud and it had been too long, that the servants guarding outside the bridal room were alarmed.

"The Young Master is coughing again! Quick, bring the young master's medicine that is still simmering in the small kitchen! " The sound of messy footsteps came from outside, bustling with activity.

Before long, someone knocked on the door. "Young Master, your soup is here!" The servant respectfully stood outside the door and asked. He didn't dare to act on his own and directly charged in without permission.

On the other side, Second Young Master Liu was coughing so much that he couldn't answer. On the other hand, Liu Qingqing was a smart person, so she quickly answered, "Hurry and bring it in!" His voice was laced with anger. These servants, can't you hear that their young master is coughing up so much blood?

The soup was still steaming when he brought it in. It was a big, dark bowl.

Liu Qingqing took the bowl and gently sniffed it a few times. After confirming that there were no problems, she passed it to Second Young Master Liu. Second Young Master Liu might have already lost his confidence in his broken body.

The dark medicinal juice that carried the strong aroma of traditional Chinese medicine scattered all over the floor.

"It's useless to drink so much …" "Drinking more is also a waste …" Second Young Master Liu complained dejectedly.

As the saying goes, one should not mention that his loved ones would be impatient with him after a long illness. Sometimes, even he would begin to doubt himself.

After taking so many medicines and seeing so many doctors, his condition had not improved at all. This constant coughing made him feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

Liu Qingqing couldn't stand it any longer. As a doctor, once she saw a patient who refused to listen to a doctor's words, she would instinctively ask about matters that shouldn't be interfered with.

"Why are you so willful? This is the prescription the doctor gave you. The servant gave it to you personally? How can you not drink it and just wave it off? How wasteful is it? "Since you're sick and don't take any medicine, can you be alright if you don't work with a doctor to treat your body?" She began to reprimand him. She had already consciously put herself in the position and perspective of a doctor.

Although she was still a female medical student, she had gone to the hospital for an internship during the summer vacation. As a result, her duty and instincts as a doctor made her unable to ignore it.

"You don't need to care? Whether I drink the medicine or not is my business! " Second Young Master Liu's temper also came up and he was not feeling well, so he was in an even worse mood.

"I don't want to care, but I really can't stand to see someone not cherishing themselves and getting trampled on for nothing. Your illness is already quite serious. If you don't cooperate with the doctor's treatment, you can just wait for your untimely death! " She scolded him bluntly.

However, Second Young Master Liu was indifferent. These words did not hurt him at all. Perhaps he had already heard too much and became numb.

"My life, isn't that long to begin with! "I'm very clear about it myself. I'm afraid that I won't be able to cure it …" Although everyone in his family hid it from him and never showed any emotions or words that they shouldn't have, he had eyes and a sense of consciousness. He would say his goodbyes and look in the eyes …

This Second Young Master Liu's eyes were filled with depression and helplessness. This weak and sickly body had already extinguished all his will and hope. His eyes were dim and lifeless.

"How can you say such depressing things? "It's not like you have some terminal illness …" As a doctor, he was not used to a patient not having the slightest bit of confidence in him. "In your situation, I think it should be pulmonary tuberculosis."

Second Young Master Liu and Liu Yuanfeng were obviously surprised for a moment. They didn't expect that their illness would be correctly guessed by their bride.

Liu Qingqing then noticed that she had blurted out something on the spur of the moment, and explained in a low voice, "You don't have to be so weird. I only know a little about medicine, so I saw that you are coughing so badly, and I heard that you have invited a lot of doctors to drink a lot of soup before you can confirm it.

"You know medicine? Didn't you hear that your family is very poor? I heard that your family has arranged a marriage for your brother, but because your family is so poor, you can't take out the money they wanted for your wedding. With such poor conditions, how could your parents send you to study medicine? " Liu Yuanfeng slowly voiced out his doubts.

Uh, this doesn't sound right. The lie I made up really can't be continued. Why does this Second Young Master Liu have to be so serious to get to the bottom of everything?

"That... "Actually, I didn't mean to learn it. It's just that I came into contact with them occasionally …" She was already sweating profusely from nervousness.

"Cough, cough." Perhaps he said a few words, but it caused Liu Yuanfeng's weak body to start coughing again.

"The medicine that the servant brought in earlier was overturned by your one hand. How is it now?" Cough! Wait a moment, I will go out and get someone to fry another bowl of soup and send it in! " The moment she said that, she had already pulled open the door of the bridal room. Without waiting for Liu Yuanfeng to react, she called the servant who was waiting outside to patiently instruct him, "Hurry up and bring your Second Young Master another bowl of medicine, he's coughing again!"

A series of coughs sounded out, making the servant feel quite uncomfortable.

"Second Young Madam, don't worry. This lowly one will do it right away!" He hurriedly turned around and left.

When Liu Qingqing heard the name "Second Young Madam," she felt it to be both ear-piercing and unfamiliar, causing her to be at a loss as to how to respond. Fortunately, the servant had already run away. No one would be able to see the distress on her face.

"How about, I help you lie down on the collapsed ground to rest for a while, and don't talk anymore! Your body is weak, so if you are troubled by other matters outside your body, your condition will worsen. " Liu Qingqing went back to the collapse and wanted to help Second Young Master Liu lie on the collapse.
