Chapter 18: The Innocence of Children
"Shut Zhang up in the firewood room and wait for Lang'er's illness to recover before dealing with it. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shi Jiao'e commanded.
She doesn't understand the situation, she can't judge arbitrarily, and she doesn't want to be unable to control her emotions because she is in a hurry, so she is deceived and wronged by good people.
"Madame!" What else does Zhang want to defend.
Shi Jiao'e waved her hand and said, "Take it down!" ”
"Madam, this medicine ......" Cai Wei stepped forward to ask. When she went to the kitchen, the medicine was already cooked. The guards escorted Zhang over, and she brought the medicine by the way.
"Let's leave it there for now." Shi Jiao'e said.
If this medicine is fine, she can still spare Zhang's life for the time being and find out what happened. If there is something wrong in the medicine, Zhang doesn't want to live.
After a while, the steward brought the doctor over, checked Han Lang's pulse, checked the decoction of the medicine, and confirmed that there was no problem, Shi Jiao'e fed the child.
……
At this time, in the side room of the east courtyard, the young Han Xin sat on the bed with his hands and knees, curling himself into a ball. She bit her lip and clenched her fists, fearful, resentful, but helpless.
Last night, my brother didn't eat with her. She went to look for her brother, but was told that he was tired of playing and had fallen asleep. She stayed up all night, keeping her eyes open until dawn, and her brother still didn't show up.
She knew that something must have happened to her brother, but she was helpless. She wanted to go out to see the situation, but she was locked up by the nurse and didn't even let the door out.
The dignified Miss Yan was grounded by her subordinates!
However, Liu Suizhu has used this method not once or twice. The subordinates have long been accustomed to it, and they don't hide it from their masters.
Shut her up, don't give her food, don't deduct her clothes, don't bring her water to wash her face, don't prepare tea for her, her house has never been on duty at night, and those maids and women even slept earlier than her, and ate well.
It's not that she hasn't resisted, it's just that every time she resists, it's futile and she will be reprimanded - foolish, ignorant, domineering, disobedient!
She tried to make trouble, but the result was - Han Lang was sick!
As soon as she came out, her brother was "sick". Even, when her grandfather learned the news, he sent someone over to support her, but her younger brother couldn't afford to get sick. She had to restrain her temper, throw away her grandfather's gift, scold the Shi family's descendants, and naively go to please her "mother".
Liu Suizhu is not her mother, of course she knows! But she had to know. She wants to grow up safely, protect her younger brother, and let her younger brother grow up safely.
Everything was fine, but my mother suddenly came back.
She didn't dare to recognize her mother, because she was afraid of upsetting the Liu family, afraid that her father would beat and scold her, and that something would happen to her younger brother. However, she no longer recognized her mother, and her brother still had an accident.
Han Xin's eyes were red and trembling.
What should she do?
……
Shi Jiao'e kept Han Lang sleepless for a day and a night, feeding him medicine and wiping his body, until noon the next day, Han Lang's high fever subsided.
"Mother......" Han Lang shouted weakly.
"Lang'er!" Shi Jiao'e was emotional, holding Han Lang's hand, her whole body trembled slightly, and her eyes were red.
"Mother, I'm so uncomfortable." Han Lang opened his eyes while muttering, but suddenly said in horror: "Why are you here?" What about my mother? ”
He shook off Shi Jiao'e's hand, and quickly shrank into the bed, avoiding his biological mother, as if he was avoiding a flood beast.
At this moment, all the joy in Shi Jiao'e's heart was shattered, and she was poured down from her head by a basin of ice water, giving birth to a sadness from the bottom of her heart.
She tried so hard to protect him, but he only trusted those who wanted to kill him. Even, for the sake of the person who hurt him, to hurt the relatives who love him.
But what could she do?
"Lang'er, I am your mother, your biological mother, I'm back......" Shi Jiao'e tried to explain, convincing her son to accept herself.
However, she wasn't done yet......
"You bad guy, you go away! I don't want you! I want my mother! Han Lang didn't find Liu, his eyes showed disappointment, and he kicked and made trouble on the bed.
Shi Jiao'e's hand froze.
A chill of despair filled her heart.
"I want a mother! I want a mother! Han Lang's cry became louder and louder, but Shi Jiao'e was at a loss, frozen in place like a clay sculpture.
Companionship is really scary, and for a small child, it is simply impossible to distinguish who is good and who is bad.
But how could she explain it?
No matter what she does, the child will not believe her.
Her son.
Her biological son......
The atmosphere froze, and only the ignorant crying of the child.
"Get out of the way! What did you do to Lang'er! Why don't you let me see my son! There was a loud commotion outside the door, and then the door was slammed open.
"Lang'er! My poor Lang'er! Liu Suizhu cried as she threw herself on Han Lang's bedside. She didn't seem to see Shi Jiao'e at all, let alone salute her, and she didn't even sweep the corners of her eyes.
Behind Liu Suizhu, more than a dozen subordinates rushed in together with a huge momentum, squeezing Shi Jiao'e's maid aside.
"Mother! Mother! As soon as Han Lang saw Liu Suizhu, he immediately cried aggrievedly, threw himself into Liu's arms, and stuck his head into her chest.
Shi Jiao'e rolled up her sleeves, just watched all this calmly, and didn't speak.
What a scene of mother-son love!
Lang'er burned for two days and two nights, and was unconscious, Liu Suizhu did not appear, and she didn't even send a maid to take a look. Now, Lang'er has just woken up, and she appears immediately.
What a coincidence!
However, Han Lang is willing to believe it.
"Mother, where is my brother? I didn't play with my brother today, will my brother be angry? Han Lang cried for a while, raised his head, and asked cautiously.
Shi Jiao'e could see that he was observing Liu Suizhu's expression, and he was very uneasy in his heart. He was afraid, afraid that Liu Suizhu would be angry and disliked him.
Han Lang lived so carefully, was so tolerant and accommodating to his younger brother, and cared so much about Liu Suizhu's attitude, Shi Jiao'e's heart was dripping blood.
She wanted to hold her son in the palm of her hand, but her son would rather humble himself in front of others. He treats those closest to him as enemies, but he treats enemies as relatives.
It turns out that the cruelest thing in the world is the innocence of children.
……
Shi Jiao'e's heart was extremely cold, she simply stood up straight, took a step out, looked at Liu Suizhu with an indifferent expression, her eyes were churning with anger, and she wondered: "Liu, remember your identity!" You're just a concubine, and you're not worthy of being my son's mother! ”
"Badass! Don't bully my mother! Han Lang rushed down and stood in front of Liu Suizhu, glaring at her fiercely, like a puppy.
Obviously, he has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is so weak that he can't stand steadily, and his voice is as weak as a cat, but he still has to stiffen his body and try to protect his "mother".
Shi Jiao'e looked at this scene, and her heart ached for a while.
How much she hopes that her son is protecting herself!
