Although Min Ki planted the necklace but Li Qing wanted to wait for HwaHwa to return back from ancestral hall before she could use that scheme.
Before that, at the ancestral hall as the evening was slowly turning into night suddenly guards heard loud clatter as they rushed inside HwaHwa was lying unconscious on the ground with platter of offerings such as fruits, wine jug and praying incense sticks were all around her.
News travelled fast as the family members reached the hall LinLin rushed inside holding small 10 years old HwaHwa's frail body she cried silently and bitterly with her inability to speak for the grievance of HwaHwa made the scene heart wrenching.
But for the Go members it was a soothing sight all they wanted for HwaHwa to live miserable life and this scene satisfied the monster hiding inside them.
(A/N : reason for this cruelty will be revealed in later chapters).
But maintaining public image was also important as the number of people inside the Go house ranged from maids and other workers who can pass the information to other Courtyards where their relatives or friends could be working.Thus, to maintain image in public eyes, HwaHwa was swiftly taken back and physician was called for treatment.
Although Go family had physician inside the house but taking advantage of the chaos HwaHwa had already arranged with La Kun to call the physician prearranged by them, to spread the news outside to common people about how Minister of rites was taking care of his adopted daughter.
With different thoughts in their mind, they soon reached HwaHwa's room with physician Bai who was already informed also reaching there at the same time.Upon arrival the sight that greeted them was two maids lounging on the chairs as they peeled peanut and sunflower seeds while chuckling with each other.
Li Qing looking at the scene and physician Bai who was reputed among the physicians of the capital, trying to maintain her composure over those stupid maids and arranging her expression she scolded Min Ki and Nina " Impudent your master had been absent these few days and you both are enjoying and laughing here for every one to see".Min Ki and Nina swiftly stood up dusting their messy hands on their skirt as they knelt down.
If Li Qing knew physician Bai would be called she would have never brought them here now she had no idea how to resolve the issue
Ignoring hesitating Li Qing, physician Bai quickly went inside he scowled at the room condition with old wall no room heater, decoration or basic curtains were absent. Still priority being the patient he did not say anything, near the bed he could not control himself and scolded " what is this" he addressed angrily " is the eldest daughter of Minister Go sleeps on the bed made of bricks and look at these blankets even the servants in my family has better living conditions".
Grandma Go who has just reached the courtyard heard this she quickly slapped Li Qing " Daughter in law what is this ? I have been giving HwaHwa same allowances as Go Qing and Go Ming but why is her living conditions like this
Li Qing pretended to cry but inside she cursed the old witch for placing the blame on her" Mother, I did not know this girl never said anything,and it was not right for me to enter unmarried girl's living quarters".
Physician Bai who was listening to the drama swiftly scolded " quickly arrange blankets and warm stove, are you so into placing blame that you want to ignore this poor girl."
Li Qing glared at Min Ki as LinLin was in daze unable to move from HwaHwa's side keeping watch as if protective mother hen, her hands swiftly holding hand warmer warming HwaHwa.
Ling Qi knew she needed clarity but seeing HwaHwa in this condition made her heart hurt. Just then HwaHwa coughed loudly " Mother, Grandma what I am doing back in my room I need to complete copying scripture for Grandma's good health and father's prosperity.
