The silly puppy couldn’t enter the women’s chamber and had to stay outside. Liu Shimei, leading Shu Yutong, entered Zhang Miaozhen’s room.
Zhang Miaozhen was still lying on the bed.
Madam Jiang always welcomed people with a smiling face, but today, facing Liu Shimei, she couldn’t muster a polite smile. Instead, with a face full of concern, she said, “Shimei, your timing is perfect. We were just thinking of sending someone to invite you over.”
She sighed, “Since her brother brought her back last night, Miaozhen has been crying non-stop. She slept for a while in the second half of the night but was awakened by nightmares. By morning, her body was burning with fever.”
“Madam, rest assured, with me here, Miaozhen will recover,” Liu Shimei said as she sat on a round stool, examining Zhang Miaozhen’s pulse.
Zhang Miaozhen was awake, but she had no spirit left in her, completely losing the graceful demeanor she usually carried, appearing more like a withered flower.
There’s a term in gossip that fits perfectly: withering!
After Liu Shimei’s incident, perhaps due to her modern soul, she couldn’t lose her fighting spirit over such matters. But Zhang Miaozhen did.
Zhang Miaozhen, raised in traditional values, considered chastity as vital to life!
The illness originated from the mind, and in the face of such an event, Zhang Miaozhen’s willpower had been crushed. Could she not fall ill?
Not rushing to speak with Zhang Miaozhen, after examining her pulse, Liu Shimei went to the outer room to prepare medicine. Shu Yutong stood by, copying down the prescription.
Madam Jiang asked Lian Zhi to take care of Zhang Miaozhen and followed Liu Shimei out, asking, “Shimei, given Miaozhen’s current condition, she won’t listen to anyone. Do you have any solutions?”
Liu Shimei, sitting on a chair without the inclination to drink tea, replied, “Madam, I’d like to ask first, what is the Zhang family’s stance on this matter?”
The Zhang family’s stance was crucial for Zhang Miaozhen’s future.
Madam Jiang sighed and said, “The deed has already been done, what more can we do? Honestly… we didn’t have high hopes for Miaozhen to become the Crown Princess, but after such an incident, not to mention the Crown Princess, even the legitimate wife of an ordinary family might find it difficult. Now, the whole family is worried about this matter. Miaozhen has already passed the age of maturity, and after experiencing this, it’s hard to say what her future holds in terms of marriage.”
Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows and met Madam Jiang’s eyes, asking, “I’m not asking about her future; I’m asking about… what do you all think!”
Afraid that Madam Jiang might not understand her meaning, she explained, “Do you all think that Miaozhen’s innocence has been tarnished, and her life is now ruined, making her worthless?”
“How could that be?!” Madam Jiang’s voice sharpened at the thought.
Realizing her rudeness, she quickly added, “I apologize, Shimei, I got too carried away.”
She explained, “I am Miaozhen’s birth mother. How could a birth mother not love her own daughter and worry that she’s now worthless? Not to mention me, even her great-grandparents, grandparents, and last night, they all stayed up worrying about this matter. Not to mention Miaozhen’s father and brothers. What we worry about is whether she can have a good life in the future. We feel sorry for her, and there’s no question of devaluing her.”
Liu Shimei nodded.
From this, it could be seen that the Zhang family’s atmosphere of family love was still strong.
She said, “The remedy for a troubled heart is time. Since Miaozhen has experienced such a thing, as long as you all can approach the issue from a standpoint of loving her, things won’t be too bad. Just spend some time comforting her, help her adjust her mindset, and after the cooling-off period, everything will be fine.”
Pausing for a moment, she pondered for a while and continued, “As for the matter of innocence, it’s all a matter of worldly opinions. Misfortune may turn out to be a blessing. Who can guarantee that after Miaozhen experiences such a thing, she won’t encounter a man who is not bound by societal prejudices and instead turns her misfortune into fortune?”
Madam Jiang was stunned..
