"Treat her right now."

Before the old physician had the time to adjust his confused thoughts, he heard Xi Ying's cold voice telling him. 

"Huh?"

The old physician mumbled and saw Xi Ying sitting on the edge of the bed. 

It was only then he noticed a woman lying on the bed. The man in front of him stroked the woman's cheek gently and the old physician heard his words

"Rui…you will be alright. I will not let anything happen to you."

The old physician understood that the woman was not asleep but unconscious.

"Why are you standing still?"

Xi Ying looked at the old physician coldly when he saw that the old physician had not moved from his place.

The old physician also came out of his trance. His face had a serious expression as he looked at the woman lying on the bed and then at Xi Ying.

"Young Man, if you want me to check this girl….then first all of you will have to leave this room. Only then I can check her without any disturbance."

Xi Ying nodded his head at once and then said coldly

"Leave."

An Ju left the room instantly but Li Hua had a reluctant expression on her face as she glanced at her mistress and Xi Ying.               

"This Lord asked you to leave the room this instant."

Xi Ying said indifferently to the maid with his eyes still on his wife.

Li Hua didn't want to but no one knew when Liu Lan entered the room and dragged her outside the room immediately.

Liu Lan had already known that Li Hua would hesitate to leave Li Rui alone with Xi Ying and that's why she had entered the room only to hear Lord Xi's asking Li Hua to leave the room.

Afraid that Li Hua's disobedience would make the physician more late …she immediately dragged her outside the room forcefully.

Li Hua was, of course, very angry at Liu Lan. She looked at Liu Lan with furious eyes and said

"Why did you do this? I don't wish to leave the Young Miss alone."

A frustrated sigh escaped from Liu Lan's lips when she saw that Li Hua wanted to go back inside.

"Li Hua…you are only making more trouble by being so overprotective over Madam. Do you really think that if His Excellency wants you outside the room then he can't do that?"

"I really don't care what he can do or what he can't. What I know is that my young miss is inside …that too unconscious. I don't trust Lord Xi enough to leave him alone with my unconscious mistress. What if he did something to my Young Miss….No…I need to go inside right now…"

Li Hua murmured to herself disregarding everything Liu Lan said

Outside the room, now An Ping had also come with the physician. An Su and An Zhi were also back from the Imperial Palace. An Ju, An Shing were already standing there.

The shadow guards looked at Li Hua and their faces were cold and indifferent.

None of them said anything, but each one of them looked ready to stop Li Hua if she tried to enter the room.

Liu Lan knew this and that's why she was trying to stop Li Hua but the anxious and tensed maid doesn't seem to see anything or anyone else except her mistress.

She looked at Liu Lan with cold eyes and said indifferently

"Liu Lan, I had thought that you really cared for my mistress. But in the end, you are the maid of Xi Manor and you have proved this today."

Liu Lan's hands that were holding Li Hua's arms froze completely at these words. She stepped away from Li Hua and her face was completely white showing just how much Li Hua's words had affected her.

"I…do… care for My Lady, Li Hua."   

Liu Lan whispered as she looked at Li Hua with tear-filled eyes.   

Li Hua moved her eyes away from Liu Lan's eyes indifferently indicating indirectly that she didn't believe Liu Lan's words at all.

A tear fell out from Liu Lan's eyes and she licked her lips lightly as she murmured in a daze.

"It is because of My Lady ….that I have a hope to continue my life today. Why won't I care about her? I can even give up on my life for My Lady. I really do care for her…Li Hua."

With these words, Li Hua also seemed to understand that what she said was perhaps too hard. Still she looked at Liu Lan with lips pressed in thin line.

A moment later, Looking at Liu Lan's pale and white face, she said

"Then you don't know what she had gone through in Xi Manor for four years. That's why perhaps you can ask me to leave my mistress inside with that man with so much certainty.

My Young Miss was looked down by even the servants of Xi Manor. She was given a bowl of porridge in the name of three times of meal…and do you even know the contents of that porridge? You must not know. Water…just boiled water and the rice that even the servants in our Li Manor don't eat ….my mistress was being given that kind of food in this Manor.

Almost everyday, she had to hear how she became the reason behind the end of some non-existent marriage proposal between Princess Wenling and Lord Xi.

Each and every kind of blame was put on my mistress. Even if it was a servant's death in the manor….my Young Miss was responsible for that.     

That man…your His Excellency didn't care for her for four years."

Li Hua showed four fingers to Liu Lan as if afraid that Liu Lan was not listening to her. She shook Liu Lan's arm with one hand and with the other she continued to show her four fingers to her.

"Four years, Liu Lan. My mistress had lived that kind of life in these four years.

Liu Lan, you might feel that she doesn't care what others think about her… but what kind of person would not feel sad inside their heart seeing so many people against him.

She also does…believe me … she just doesn't show it."

Li Hua's tears fell out of her eyes and she choked on her each and every word. Even Liu Lan was breathing with her mouth parted slightly as she sobbed with her one hand on her mouth not knowing what she should say.

She had heard servants badmouthing Lady Li before but she never knew that Lady Li was living such kind of life in the past four years.

Perhaps, that's why she never understood Li Hua's hatred towards Lord Xi.

Even the shadow guards who were standing a few steps away from both the maids had their heads lowered as they heard everything from Li Hua's mouth silently.

Although they knew that it was An San who was responsible for all this, they still can't help but feel shame for not taking care of their mater's wife for four years.

Regardless of what others are feeling after hearing her words, Li Hua wiped her tears and continued

"Now four years later, Lord Xi suddenly shows up in Plum Courtyard and says that he wants to take care of my mistress….then I am very sorry that I can't believe him with my mistress. I know that .as a mere servant, I don't possess any right to go against the master of this Manor ….. However I do have the right to protect my mistress till my last breath."
