Chapter 68: Chaos (2)
Wang looked at her crying daughter, she felt very uncomfortable, she stroked Qi Jiao's hair at once, regretting that she did not listen to her mother's words, did not handle this matter carefully, and ended up harming her beloved daughter.
Qi Jiao slowly stopped crying, nestled in Wang's arms, like a wounded little beast, Wang looked more and more distressed.
"Mother, why doesn't his words count?"
"Huh?" Wang didn't react for a while.
"He said he would marry me when I grew up, and we would be together for a long time. But why did he lie to me? Wang was remorseful and angry when he heard this, regretting that he had let Qi Jiao get too close to the Guogong Mansion, and he was angry that he had made such a promise to his daughter, but he didn't expect his daughter to be addicted to this.
"Jiaojiao, there is nothing good about the Guogong Mansion, let's find a better one. ”
"Why are you lying to me. Qi Jiao didn't seem to hear Wang's words, and muttered to herself. Wang anxiously hugged Qi Jiao tightly in his arms,
"Don't scare Mother, Jiaojiao. Seeing Qi Jiao's eyes staring blankly ahead, Wang hurriedly went to the doctor. At the same time, he ordered to hurry up and put on benzoin, so that Qi Jiao could lie on the bed. After a while, the doctor came, Tongfu put down the bed tent, and covered Qi Jiao's hand with a handkerchief, and the doctor helped the pulse to diagnose. After a while, after the pulse diagnosis, Chen's mother hurriedly asked the doctor how it was.
"It's just a moment of anger, it doesn't matter, just take some medicine to suppress the fright and take a rest. ”
"It really doesn't matter. Chen's mother was afraid that Wang would not be satisfied, so she specially asked, and the doctor's face was a little unpleasant, as if she was dissatisfied with Chen's mother's doubts about her medical skills.
"Yes, it's okay if you don't want to take medicine. Chen's mother also felt the doctor's displeasure, and thanked her again and again, and the doctor's face looked better, and she went to write a prescription.
Wang ordered the maid to boil the medicine, fed Qi Jiao to drink, and saw that Qi Jiao was asleep, so he relaxed a little.
Zhang Hou was also startled when he heard that Qi Jiao was suddenly ill, and hurriedly came over to take a look. He really loves Qi Jiao, from childhood to adulthood, he has watched step by step. When he entered the house and saw that Qi Jiao had not woken up, he asked Wang what was going on, how could Qi Jiao be sick. Wang's face was full of shame and knelt in front of Zhang Hou. Zhang Hou was taken aback:
"Madam, please get up quickly, what is this doing?" Wang was already in tears, and Zhang Hou helped her up with both hands,
"If you have something to say, why bother, madam. ”
"Master, I hurt Jiaojiao. Zhang Hou was puzzled, and looked at Wang with strange eyes, waiting for her answer.
"I was confused, I didn't listen to the master's words, and I insisted on linking Qi Jiao with the Guogong Mansion, but I just got the news today, and the Guogong Mansion has entrusted Princess Guangping as a matchmaker to officially propose marriage to the Changping Hou Mansion. What can I do with this Qi Jiao?"
"Didn't I tell you before, the Guogong Mansion is unreliable, why don't you listen. ”
"The concubine also knew that it was wrong. ”
"It's actually nothing, and no one even knows about it. ”
"But, Qi Jiao, she ......" Wang was a little speechless.
"What's wrong with Qi Jiao?" Zhang Hou was a little suspicious.
"Jiaojiao thought that she could marry into the Guogong Mansion before, but she suddenly couldn't do it now, so she would be angry. Zhang Hou was furious when he heard this,
"Your good daughter, how can you tell her this kind of thing, messing up your mind. ”
"The concubine is also ......" Before Wang's words were finished, he heard Qi Jiao's voice sounding behind him.
"Mother. Zhang Hou and his wife didn't care about arguing, and hurried to the inner room to see Qi Jiao.
"Father, mother. Qi Jiao looked at Wang and Zhang Hou.
"The daughter's unfilial piety worries the father and mother. ”
"Jiaojiao, don't say anything, as long as you're okay. Wang sat on the edge of the bed and gently held Qi Jiao's hand. Zhang Hou saw that Qi Jiao had nothing to do, and he couldn't bear to teach her a lesson at this time, so Wen Yan said:
"Qi Jiao, don't think nonsense, if you have a father and mother to call the shots for you, take care of it. ”
"Father, Jiao'er will be obedient. By the way, the purse I gave to my father last time was old, so I'll make a new one for my father. Qi Jiao said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm waiting for my father to use your new purse, don't be lazy!" After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, a warm atmosphere in the room quietly flowed, and the tension just now was completely gone, and the Wang family also relaxed a little.
In the evening, Wang thought that Qi Jiao was still weak, so he left her to rest in his yard, and Zhang Hou went to Aunt Bai's to spend the night.
Qi Jiao was lying in bed, probably because she slept too much during the day and was not a little sleepy. Vaguely, she felt that there was a person standing next to the bed, and she suddenly became nervous, and she wanted to call someone but couldn't make a sound. The brocade curtain next to the bed was lifted by the man, and Qi Jiao's heart had already risen to her throat, but when she saw that face, she felt that the ice and snow all over her body melted, and that was Li Duan, who she had been thinking about for a long time.
Li Duan leaned down and gently hugged Qi Jiao, who suddenly felt that she was surrounded by a warm breath, her eyes were astringent, and tears flowed. She asked in a trembling voice:
"Why don't you want me?" When Li Duan heard this, he suddenly let go of Qi Jiao, his originally gentle eyes suddenly became solemn, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of contempt and disgust.
Suddenly, a "sister" sounded in Qi Jiao's ears, her eyes blurred by tears, and she vaguely saw that Saitama was standing next to her, and Li Duan had disappeared for some time.
"Second sister?" Qi Jiao said:
"Wrong, who is your second sister, you should call me Guifei Niangniang!"
"Concubine Niangniang?"
"That's right, it's time to know who is delusional. It's not yours that you can't get it after all, and you can't get it with all your efforts. ”
"No, no, I'm not delusional, he said it, he said it himself. ”
"Still say no, you look in the mirror to see what you look like now and still want to marry into the Guogong Mansion?" Qi Jiao heard this, lowered her head and saw that she was wearing tattered clothes, and her hands were also dry and cracked, and she was scarred, and when she picked up the mirror in front of her, her face was full of wrinkles, she looked at herself in fear, and screamed "Ah". Saitama woke up, she quickly touched her clothes and brocade quilts, and saw that the hands were also delicate and smooth, so she was a little relieved.
Cui Yu heard Qi Jiao's cry and hurried over to take a look.
"Miss, what's wrong, do you want to call Madame?" Qi Jiao shook her head,
"Pour me a glass of water. Cui Yu walked to the table, poured out a cup of tea from the teapot, handed it to Qi Jiao, and took out a large pillow to cushion Qi Jiao's back. Qi Jiao took a sip of water, handed the teacup to Cui Yu, and said:
"Go down, I want to be alone. ”
"Miss, then you have something to call a slave. Qi Jiao nodded, and Cui Yu helped her close the curtain and retreated.
Qi Jiao leaned there, her mind was unusually clear, this short moment today, destroyed her dreams, those sweet words were nothing, she took out a piece from under the pillow, smooth and warm, this is the last time I went to live in the Guogong Mansion, Li Duan gave it to herself. She held the jade fiercely, and the pain coming from the palm of her hand seemed to ease the pain in her heart.
Thinking of the gorgeous clothes and graceful appearance of Saitama in her dream, and thinking of her tattered body, Qi Jiao secretly made up her mind that since she had lost her love, she must hold on to power and glory. No, you can't let Saitama enter the palace, it can only belong to her Qijiao.
