Chapter 23: The situation is stronger than the man

Just as he realized the truth of the truth of the Emperor Chi's seven orifices, tossing and turning, in a small cold courtyard that was only more than three miles away from the Pu family, Ru Ji, who had slept for two or three hours, finally woke up suddenly due to a nightmare.

When she sat up, the first thing that caught her eye was Cai Wan. Although the fingerprints on his face are still red and swollen, and his wrists and forearms are bruised and purple, he is not missing arms or legs. ”

"Girl, you're awake." Cai Yunqing, who had already been determined to die, had already calmed down, and she was even more happy to see Ru Ji wake up, "Do you have any injuries?" ”

Ru Ji shook her head, although the effect of the drug gave her a hangover-like headache, but her memory slowly recovered, she remembered that although she was torn open by Ji Zhugui, she quickly felt the scissors to fight back, and did not suffer any big losses.

Looking around, the surrounding furnishings are simple and simple, and it is a very ordinary house. The four walls are simple gray and white, the tables, chairs, and bedboards in the room are all cheap pine, and the curtains and bed curtains are half-used cyan pine cloth. But there is an urn of wild chrysanthemums by the window, and two books on the wall, but they bring some wild interest.

"Caiyun, this is it?" Ru Ji asked suspiciously, and couldn't help but feel that her throat was dry and itchy, so she coughed lightly twice.

Immediately, I heard the male voice outside clear and calm: "Miss Caiwan, do you need to bring some hot water?" ”

"Chen Zhutou?" Ru Ji couldn't react for a while, she remembered that she escaped and went to the guard for help, and then seemed to pass out there. But after waking up, she was not sent to Yan's house as she thought, and Ruji was a little worried.

However, when she heard Chen Hao's voice, she was inexplicably a little relieved.

Cai Wan went out first to reply: "Thank you Chen Zhutou, I'll go to the kitchen to get it." ”

Chen Hao bowed his head: "You guard your young lady first, don't do it." Then he turned and went away.

Cai Wan didn't say much, so he had to be blessed, and came back to explain to Ruji.

It turned out that after Ru Xi fainted in the guard, Chen Hao immediately took his big cloak and sent Ru Xi to the carriage, and called three or four tight-mouthed and capable henchmen to go to Pu's house together, and borrowed Yan Xiao's name to hypothetically arrest Cai Wan, and quickly slashed Chi's family, and then sent her master and servant to this small courtyard, which is Chen Hao's own residence.

"Chen Zhutou's home?" No matter how careful and bold Rao is Ruji, he is not limited by the etiquette of the ancients, and it is also an accident, and he feels inappropriate. Turning his head to look in the direction of the window, there was only the sound of the gentle wind blowing the leaves outside the curtain, but no light penetrated the sky: "What time is it?" ”

Cai Wan first took the tea that was already slightly cold on the table and poured a bowl for Ruxi: "Girl, let's moisten it first." It's already the third watch. ”

Midnight? Is it one o'clock in the night?

Calculate the time to stab Chi Zhugui from the Pu family and escape, did you sleep for five hours?

Chi's medicine is really powerful!

Ru Xi took a sip of tea, and was just about to ask again, when she heard the sound of tuk tuk tuk outside, someone knocked on the wooden door, but it was a gentle female voice: "Cai Wan girl?" ”

"Mrs. Chen!" Cai Wan hurriedly got up and went to open the door.

Mrs. Chen?

Ru Xi couldn't help but look over in amazement, and saw Cai Wan welcoming in a middle-aged woman holding a tray in her hand. The woman was dressed in a plain blue cloth robe, with only a silver hairpin in her bun and two tiny moon-white silk flowers. Looking at the skin and face, he is about forty years old, but his eyebrows and phoenix eyes, his facial features are delicate and beautiful, such as the people he has seen since he crossed over, and none of them can compare.

Ru Xi was stunned by her surprise, and suddenly reacted after a moment: "You are Chen Zhutou's mother?" ”

No wonder it looks familiar, no wonder Chen Zhutou looks so handsome!

That's the legendary genetic advantage!

Mrs. Chen bowed slightly, her face was gentle and indifferent, and handed the tray to Cai Wan: "I cooked some porridge, Miss Pu will use some first." ”

Ru Ji hurriedly got up and got out of bed, although she felt that her knees, legs and feet were still a little tired and sore, but she was generally able to move freely. He was deeply blessed to Mrs. Chen: "Thank you, Madame, for causing you trouble." ”

Mrs. Chen took two steps forward, stretched out her hand to help Ruxi sit down, and there was a bit of sympathy in her eyes: "No need to be polite, but is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Ru Xi shook her head, only to feel that Mrs. Chen's fingers were also a little cold, and she couldn't help but be even more sorry: "It's really bothering Mrs., you still work to deliver porridge so late." I'm fine. ”

Mrs. Chen's eyes were a little inquiring, but she didn't ask more. He only nodded, and asked Cai Wan to serve Ruxi with some soup porridge first.

If she slowed down like this, she did feel thirsty and hungry. Although it seems that he and Cai Wan are out of danger now, there is no doubt that there are still many tough battles to be fought in the future, and it is not unreasonable to be polite, and after repeatedly thanking him, he ate all the soup and porridge brought by Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen sat next to her for a while, and when Ruxi finished eating, she said again: "Miss Pu, although you and I are seeing each other for the first time today, we have a lot of fate. Something happened to your family, and in a panic, you fled to my neighborhood. My maiden name is Su, and some people in the neighborhood call me Su Sanniangzi, and I have a very small reputation among the widows in the past few years. It's not a big deal to bring you home from a fainting situation. Tomorrow morning, the dog will go and ask your cousin to come and pick you up, and you don't have to be polite and thankful. ”

Mrs. Chen's voice is extremely beautiful, and when she speaks so plainly and eloquently, it sounds like a clear spring. And the meaning of these words made Ru Xi almost cry when she was moved.

According to Mrs. Chen's statement, it is to hide the section where Ruxi went to the Wei House to ask for help, whether it is for the Yan family or the Pu family in the future, she only said that she was rescued by Su Sanniang, who has been widowed for many years and has a virtuous and clean name in the neighborhood. Because he fainted at that time, he stayed for one night before learning about the Hui family.

In this way, no matter how this matter ends in the future, at least it will give Ruxi a clear excuse for this period of disappearance.

After all, the shape is stronger than people, if it is not clear where Ru Xi is going this night, or if it is really said that Ru Xi fainted in front of Chen Hao and was hugged by him, even if the Yan family has the heart to say something urgently, Pu Yu and the Chi family can force her to death with the so-called honor and innocence, or send her to the nunnery.

Naturally, if things get to that point, Ruji will not be restrained. But now Chen Hao's mother and son, who can only be regarded as meeting in Pingshui, have planned everything for her.

Fighting step by step since the crossing, Ruji felt great kindness for the first time, and when she thanked Mrs. Chen again, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Mrs. Chen's eyes became more and more sympathetic: "Miss Pu, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, but difficulties can always be passed." Just go back and talk to the elders of the other family. ”

Ru Ji nodded, and in a moment made a firmer determination: "Madam, can I see Chen Zhutou now?" ”
