Chapter 163: Break (3)
Half an hour later. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Changsheng stood at the back door of the Dingbei Hou Mansion and waited.
Soon, the back door opened.
What came out was a woman in her fifties, dressed neatly, and looked up and down: "Are you Changsheng?" This woman is Zheng's mother.
Changsheng hurriedly smiled respectfully: "Yes, the little one sent a letter on the order of the fifth uncle." The fifth uncle instructed that this letter must be handed over to Zheng's mother in person. ”
With Shen Qian's temperament, he was willing to let Changsheng send a letter to the Shen family, obviously trusting Changsheng quite a lot.
The additional manpower in the courtyard was handled by Zheng's mother's man, Liao Da Steward. Mama Zheng knows everyone well. This immortal was originally a small servant of a large family, but because this family left the capital, it was sold. It happened that there was a shortage of people in the courtyard, so it was bought by the big steward Liao.
Changsheng ran errands neatly and had a clever temperament, and soon emerged among several small guys.
Mother Zheng often visited Shen Qian in other hospitals, and she was familiar with Changsheng, so she accepted the letter and asked casually, "How is the fifth uncle doing lately?"
Changsheng sighed: "Fifth Uncle is in a very bad mood these days, and he gets drunk every day. Three days ago, the fifth uncle didn't know what Miss Shen said after drinking, Miss Shen ran out in a fit of anger and now lives in the Qi Palace. ”
What the?
Mother Zheng looked shocked: "What did you say, how could Miss Qinglan be in the Qi Palace?"
Changsheng replied helplessly: "What's going on, the little one doesn't know." The fifth uncle should have written it in the letter, and Zheng's mother brought the letter to Mrs., and Mrs. naturally knew everything after reading the letter. ”
Mother Zheng was full of suspicion, and had no intention of asking more, and told Changsheng to take good care of Shen Qian, so she sent him back.
……
In Rongdetang.
Shen, who had a thin face and a depressed expression, sat on the bed.
Bi Tong carefully served Shen to drink the medicine.
There were several candlesticks burning in the room, and the candlelight was bright, illuminating the wrinkles in the corners of Shen's eyes clearly.
Since Gu Jinyan became ill, Shen was in a gloomy mood, lingering on the sickbed every day, drinking a decoction that clears the heart and calms the mind and regulates the body, but his condition has not improved, but has become more and more serious.
"Mother Zheng hasn't come back yet?" Shen Shi drank the bitter decoction, and his mood was as obscure as the potion, and his tone was not much better.
Bi Tong had long been accustomed to Shen's gloomy irritability, and cautiously responded, "I haven't come back yet." ”
Shen was restless for a while, and always had a bad premonition. It was as if something terrible had happened, but she didn't know it yet.
Familiar footsteps sounded in the doorway.
Mother Zheng hurriedly walked in.
Seeing Zheng's mother's frowns, Shen's heart sank, and he waved his hand to signal Bitong to retreat.
Bi Tong quietly retreated to the door, closed the door gently, but did not go far, pricked up her ears to listen to the movement in the room.
The door panel was thick, and Zheng's mother's voice was extremely low, and Bi Tong only vaguely heard a few words: Fifth uncle...... Miss Qinglan...... Qi Wangfu ...... Letter......
In the room, Shen's face changed suddenly, took the letter, and quickly opened it to read.
I don't know what was written in the letter, Shen only read half of it, his hands kept shaking, his face became whiter and whiter, and his lips lost a trace of blood.
Mother Zheng was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Madam, what happened?" Why did Miss Qinglan suddenly arrive in the Qi Palace?"
Shen's expression was miserable, and he muttered in a low voice: "Lan'er already knows everything. She knows where she came from......"
From the moment Gu Jinyan found out that she and Shen Qian had met, the secret that had been buried for many years was already in jeopardy.
Gu Jinyan knew Shen Qinglan's life experience, and he didn't suspect himself for the time being.
Gu Wanning was unpredictable, and she didn't know how much she knew.
Now, even Shen Qinglan knows everything!
How long can this secret be hidden?
Shen was clutching the letter paper tightly, the back of his hand was bruised, and his expression was sad and frightened, like a frightened bird. Where is there the reserved elegance of the past.
Mother Zheng's heart ached, and she whispered comfortingly: "It's okay for Miss Qinglan to know. If she knew that her wife was her own mother, her heart would definitely be towards her. This secret will never be divulged out. ”
Shen calmed down for a moment and continued to read the letter.
Then, Shen's eyes widened wider and wider, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his expression was distorted. His body shook.
Mother Zheng was frightened and hurriedly supported Shen's body: "Madam, what is written in this letter?"
Shen wanted to open his mouth to speak, but his throat was sweet, and with a whoosh, a mouthful of crimson blood spit on the placket of his clothes. Then, spit out several mouthfuls of blood in quick succession.
Shen's clothes and bedding were instantly stained red with blood, which was shocking.
Mother Zheng suddenly panicked, and shouted loudly: "Bitong, Biyu, Madame vomited blood! ”
……
These days, Gu Guanning has been accompanying Mrs. Tai to eat with her every night, and the same is true tonight. After eating, the grandparents and grandchildren chatted for a long time as usual.
Soon, a maid came to report: "Mrs. Qiyu, Bitong from Rongde Hall is here to deliver a message." ”
Mrs. Tai snorted.
After Bi Tong came in, he immediately reported the incident of Shen's vomiting blood.
"Vomiting blood again?" Mrs. Tai frowned, her expression was light: "Didn't you let her rest and recuperate? ”
Bi Tong replied respectfully: "The slave doesn't know what's going on. I only knew that Zheng's mother went to the back door and took a letter to Mrs., and Mrs. vomited blood after reading it. ”
Gu Wanning's eyes flashed.
This letter must have been written by Shen Qian!
Shen Qinglan lived in the Qi Palace, broke up with Shen Qian, and was full of resentment and hatred towards the Shen family.
Shen Shi read such a letter, it is strange not to vomit blood!
Mrs. Tai asked, "Did Fifth Uncle Shen send this letter?"
Bi Tong glanced at Gu Wanning quickly, and when she saw Gu Wanning nodding slightly, she boldly responded: "The slave was outside the door at the time, and I vaguely heard a few words. Mother Zheng did mention Fifth Uncle Shen. ”
Mrs. Tai was already suspicious of the Shen family, and when she heard that the Shen family vomited blood because of Shen Qian's letter, she was even more suspicious and angry in her heart, and her face suddenly sank.
"Grandmother, I'll accompany you to Rongde Hall to have a look. Gu Guanning said in a low voice.
Mrs. Tai nodded, thought about it and then ordered: "Zi Yan, you go to listen to Fengju to send a letter, and let Brother Yan also go to Rongde Hall to have a look." ”
Gu Jinyan was seriously ill and had been nursing for more than half a month, and now he can barely get out of bed and walk around.
Shen is seriously ill, and Gu Jinyan, who is a son, should always visit to be filial piety.
Zi Yan answered, and immediately went to listen to Fengju's message.
