Chapter 84: Exhaustion
Li's abdominal pain came suddenly, although Zhong Jin committed an accident, but the child was innocent, and the whole house did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly invited Dr. Gong here.
Doctor Gong checked the pulse, looked at the blood stains on the bed, sighed, shook his head and said to Tan: "I'm afraid this kid has no chance with the Hou Mansion." ”
Tan frowned and asked, "Doctor Gong, everything was fine before, why can't you keep it all of a sudden?" "Zhong Jin's matter may indeed have stimulated the Li family, but there was no problem with the Li family's children before, and the Li family's body has always been good, so it shouldn't be a miscarriage like this.
"The eldest young lady has been depressed recently, and the fetus is already unstable, and it seems that she has been angry, and she has been blocking the fire......" Speaking of this, Dr. Gong's tone became a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Tan said, "If you have anything to say, please say it directly." ”
"Madam, the old man has a lot of words, I'm afraid that the young lady has a problem with this child from the beginning." Dr. Gong said very cautiously.
Tan's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, "Are you talking about Zhong Jin?" ”
Doctor Gong sighed again and said, "The old man has been treating the Hou Mansion for many years, and some things are said directly, even if the eldest young master cannot have an heir, even if he has been recuperating for many years, it has not changed. At the beginning, the young lady was pregnant, and the old man was not in Beijing, so it was inconvenient to come to check the pulse of the young lady, but there was always a question in his heart, but it was about the reputation of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the old man didn't say much. Today, I am afraid that the guess is true. ”
Tan's eyes widened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you saying that the child is really not Zhong Jin?" ”
This "true" word is enough to be seen, and insiders from all over the Hou Mansion have also guessed. In fact, this is a long story, Zhong Jin has been much smaller than ordinary boys since he was born, and he thought that the child was small at the time, so he didn't take it seriously. Dr. Gong began to treat the Zhenbei Hou Mansion when he was young, and he once went on an expedition with General Zhong, so he was a more trusted doctor in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. So on the day of Zhong Jin's 100th day, he invited Dr. Gong over to check Zhong Jin. As soon as Dr. Gong saw Zhong Jin's lower body, he frowned, and after diagnosis, he concluded that it was a deformity. However, it does not affect growing up, but I am afraid that the heirs will be hopeless in the future. Later, the matter of helping Zhong Jin to adjust his body was handed over to Dr. Gong, after all, Zhong Jin is a boy, and the less people know about this kind of thing, the better. So even if it is the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, all he knows is a few masters. After the death of Mrs. Hou and the Cong family, the only people who knew about it were Zhenbei Hou, General Zhong and Tan, and even Zhong Su was completely unaware.
At that time, when the Li family was pregnant, although the elders were very surprised, they also considered that it may be that Zhong Jin has been conditioning for several years, and his body has changed, and it is not necessary to have a child with the Li family. At that time, Dr. Gong was not in good health and went to his hometown in the countryside to recuperate, so he looked for other doctors who could be trusted but didn't know Zhong Jin's situation, and even if the people in the house were suspicious, they didn't ask much. Dr. Gong returned to Beijing a month ago, and the Li family is a woman after all, even if Dr. Gong is a doctor, it is not good to go past the previous doctor to come to check, and the matter dragged on.
"Such a sudden miscarriage, and then look at the blood, the old man thinks that the child may have taken medicine to induce pregnancy, pregnancy inducing drugs and conditioning fertility drugs are different, the latter is mild, the former is too domineering, so the child conceived in this way, most of the problems will occur, even if it is born, there will be physical defects. However, many people don't know, they just feel that it works, and they use it unscrupulously. In the end, the child was born with a problem, but God was to blame for injustice. "Dr. Gong has been a doctor for many years, and he has seen a lot of such things, and he only sighs when he talks about it, "But as far as the eldest young master's body is concerned, even if he uses pregnancy inducing drugs, it will not help." ”
Tan didn't know what to say, she really didn't like Li, and Li didn't like her, but she never thought things would be like this.
"Mother, I heard that my sister-in-law is not very good?" Ran Ning also rushed over when he heard the news. Zhong Jin deserves to die, and the Li family framed her again, but as the granddaughter-in-law who holds the housekeeping power, it is impossible for her to ignore it.
"Hmm." Tan didn't want to talk about Zhong Jin's problem, so he said: "I'm afraid the child can't be saved, you call more maids to help." Trouble Doctor Gong is staring here, I'll go to Hou Ye to say something. ”
When Tan was not very well, Tan sent someone to inform Zhenbei Hou and General Zhong, but because Li was a woman, it was inconvenient for them to come, so General Zhong went to Zhenbei Hou and waited for news while playing chess with Zhenbei Hou.
"Okay, you go first." Ran Ning responded.
After Tan left, Dr. Gong and the maids were also busy. Ran Ning has no experience, but with Doctor Gong here, she just needs to keep an eye here.
Two hours later, no more blood was brought out of the room, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Tan family never came back, and the Li family's personal maid was called away by the Tan family, and he didn't come back.
"Thank you Doctor Gong, the house has prepared a guest room, and now it's late, so you can stay in the house and rest." Tomorrow, my sister-in-law will wake up, and I have to trouble you to take a look. Ran Ning said. She was already very tired, and it was estimated that Zhong Su hadn't slept yet, waiting for her in the room.
"Okay, there's Mrs. Lao." Doctor Gong was old, and after more than two hours of tossing, he was really tired, so he didn't shirk and followed the little maid to the guest room to rest.
The bloody atmosphere in the house was very heavy, but Li Shi couldn't hit the wind, so he had to do this first.
"You take good care of the eldest young lady, if you need to go to Qingfeng Courtyard to find me." Ran Ning said. Li also slept, and it was useless for her to stay.
"Yes." A few maids saluted.
Ran Ning glanced at Li Shi on the bed from afar, turned around and walked out the door.
In Qingfeng Courtyard, Bizhu specially boiled wine stuffed eggs, such a simple food, but eating a bowl on a cold night can warm the body and stomach, and it is easy to digest, which is really a good comfort for the body.
Ran Ning briefly talked about the situation of the Li family, and Zhong Su did not express any opinion. After eating, he took Ran Ning to wash and rest.
The next day, the Li family rushed to hear the letter. Li also just woke up, and as soon as she saw her mother, she immediately cried and told that it was Tan who scared her into a miscarriage and asked her mother to make her the decision.
Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter, so she stopped doing it when she heard it, and the seven aunts and eight aunts who came with her also clamored for Tan to give an explanation.
Regarding the matter of the Li family, the Tan family had already discussed it with the Hou of Zhenbei and General Zhong last night, and when the Tan family was in better health, they would send it to Zhuangzi to be raised, and they would not go back to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei in the future.
There have been so many things during this time, the Tan family is already very tired, and the whole person is very bad when he is so troubled by the Li family. Ran Ning helped Tan sit down, and just as he wanted to say a few words, General Zhong entered the door.
When he walked to the door, he had already heard the unpleasant words of the Li family, and he was also angry in his heart, and after entering the door, he directly invited Dr. Gong in and asked Dr. Gong to explain the matter.
Doctor Gong also knew that the more such a big family, the more chaotic things would be, but he knew more about Zhenbei Hou and General Zhong, and his friendship was not shallow, so he naturally would not be ambiguous about this kind of thing, so he told Zhong Jin's situation, Li's approach, and questions about the origin of the child.
Dr. Gong is also an old doctor in Beijing, quite famous, who doesn't believe his words?
Li's face became more and more pale, and after Dr. Gong finished speaking, he shouted: "Impossible! I didn't, I didn't! ”
The Li family was also shocked by this, but seeing the Li family like this, Mrs. Li still felt sorry for her daughter's superiority, and her daughter's fault was put aside by her, and asked General Zhong and Tan: "You know that Zhong Jin's body is not good, why do you want him to marry my daughter, isn't this harming my daughter's life?" ”
Mrs. Li put all the responsibility on the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the Tan family was also angry, and immediately replied: "At the beginning, it was your Li family who entrusted someone to let Li Cuiying enter the door of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, we didn't refuse at that time, it was you who gave the Cong family benefits in private, and the Cong family was willing, crying and crying to let Zhong Jin marry Li Cuiying, but the Hou Ye couldn't, so he finally agreed." Your Li family was in a predicament at that time, and wanted Li Cuiying to exchange for a dowry and get through the difficulties, so you colluded with the Cong family. Now it's funny that the wicked person sues first and bites back. ”
Mrs. Li was so stunned that she couldn't say a word, which was indeed the case at that time, and thanks to the dowry of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the Li family's small use of the reputation of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, she was able to get through the difficulties and save the Li family.
"The house has also interrogated the maid next to the Li family overnight, and she confessed that after the Li family took the inducing pill and had sex with Zhong Jin to no avail, she actually had an affair with her cousin." Tan slapped the table and said, "What else does Mrs. Li have to say?" Our Hou Mansion did not directly press the Li family to Lord Xu, it was already to give the Li Mansion face. ”
After all, this is a matter of Zhong Jin's house, and besides, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, the Tan family originally thought that it would be just like this, and the matter would be peaceful.
Lee's lips trembled, unable to speak for a while, and his eyes were completely distracted, as if it was a kind of acquiescence.
Tan sighed slightly and said, "If Mrs. Li doesn't believe it or feels wronged, I don't mind going to court." Li Cuiying, our Hou Mansion can't stay, do you think you will take it back to the Li family, or send it to Zhuangzi? When you discuss the results, just tell me about it. Excuse me. ”
After Tan finished speaking, he walked to General Zhong's side. General Zhong didn't say much and left the house with Tan.
These things were undoubtedly shocking to Ran Ning, who knew nothing, and she guessed that Zhong Su definitely didn't know about Zhong Jin's problem, so she didn't mention anything to her.
As soon as the Tan family left, Ran Ning had nothing to stay for, and left with her.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, there was a bitter cry from behind him. Ran Ning wanted to sigh very much, but it was all Li's own fault, and he really didn't deserve sympathy.
Too many things made the atmosphere in the house a little depressing for a while, and everyone suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion, the body was tired, and the heart was even more tired.
After all, the Li family did not bring the Li family home. In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that if you take Li back to the house, there will be one more person to eat, and the cost will be more than before. And if the Li family goes back, it will be equivalent to being divorced, their Li family can't afford to lose this person, will the girl in the family marry in the future? So after weighing it again, it was best for the Li family to go to the Zhuangzi of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. To the outside world, it is said that the health is not good, and it needs to be cultivated. As for Zhong Jin's matter, the Li family didn't know yet, and they didn't have the heart to ask more.
The morning before Lord Xu was about to formally open the trial of Zhong Jin's forgery of letters and framing Zhong Su for collaborating with the enemy, the cell boss hurriedly reported that Zhong Jin had hanged himself in prison......
The matter was quickly reported to the emperor and the Marquis of Zhenbei, and after hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei just sighed and said that it would be handled by Lord Xu, and after the case was concluded, the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion would send someone to bury Zhong Jin's body.
A few days later, Lord Xu announced that he had found out that Zhong Jin had forged letters and framed Zhong Su for collaborating with the enemy, and Zhong Jin had been sentenced to justice in prison, and the case was closed.
Zhong Su and Ran Ning sat in the warm pavilion drinking tea, and Ran Ning asked, "What do you think about Zhong Jin's self-hanging?" ”
"I don't think he's going to hang himself." Zhong Su didn't go around the bend, "He is very ambitious, such a person will not die lightly." ”
Ran Ning also felt that Zhong Jin didn't look like a person who had the guts to commit suicide, thought for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that the eldest prince faked the illusion of hanging himself after letting Zhong Jin die?" Although no one will mention this kind of thing on the surface, it is not unheard of in prison to make the substitute ghost shut up before the trial.
"It's possible, but there's no evidence." Zhong Su said. Such suspicions can really only be doubts sometimes.
"Hmm." Ran Ning nodded, the matter is over for the time being, and they can take a breath, recuperate, and prepare in advance for the future.
After taking a few sips of tea, Ran Ning said: "By the way, my mother said that I would send my sister-in-law to Zhuangzi in three days." "I'm afraid I won't see you again.
"Well, does she know about Zhong Jin?" Zhong asked.
"It's been told to her. Grandfather means that the eldest brother can't enter the ancestral hall, and he is going to be buried next to the deceased Aunt Cong, which can be regarded as a reunion of mother and son. Ran Ning said.
"Hmm." Zhong Su nodded. Didn't say anything more.
After a while, Xiao Wu walked in with a solemn face.
Zhong Su saw that his expression was not quite right, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Wu came closer, lowered his voice and replied: "Master, the secret guard has come to report that the grain and grass sent to the western border have been robbed!" ”
