20. Confrontation
When Shen Yu woke up, there was only sweet fragrance lingering in the room, and her mind was a little confused.
It was quiet, and she noticed that something was clearly wrong in her legs, and she felt a sharp pain coming from her slight movement. She couldn't help but "belch", and heard her father Shen Ping's voice coming, "Don't move." ”
When he opened his eyes, Shen Ping's haggard face was on the edge of the couch, and Shi Nan was also lying next to him with red eyes, and whispered in a dumb voice: "Girl, you can be regarded as awake." ”
This room is very unfamiliar, not like an inn where they stay, but like a rich family's guest room, with tables, chairs, benches, cages, tables and cabinets. There was an intermittent sound of rain outside, and the light in the room seemed dim, so I lit a few candlesticks.
Shen Yan squinted her eyes, remembering the old thing - they were watching the waterfall next to the shadow wall...... She and Meng Xian fell from a boulder, were seriously injured and drowned in a deep pool...... That scene gradually became clear, and Shen Yan opened her mouth and said, "What about Xue Ning, who killed a thousand knives?" ”
The daughter scolded when she said it, if it was in normal times, Shen Ping would naturally teach her a lesson, but at this time, she was not in the mood to care about this, she just asked, "Does it still hurt badly?" ”
"It's amazing." Shen Yan flattened her mouth, "Dad, my leg hurts so much, is it broken?" ”
"What nonsense, it's just a broken bone, and Lang Zhong said that it will be good for three or four months." As soon as Shen Ping raised his hand, Shi Nan next to him brought a bowl of medicine and said softly: "Girl, don't move your lower body, the slave and maid help you to lean on the soft pillow, drink some soup first." ”
Shen Yu made a bitter face, tears rolling in front of her eyes. Hurt a bone and stay in bed for a month to recuperate, can that be a trivial matter?
The pain in her calf came clearly, and the thought of being sick in bed for the next three or four months, and being afraid that she would have to be supported by someone between actions, made her feel bitter in her heart, and even the soup with honey came out with a bitter taste, and she felt like she was drinking a decoction.
Shen Ping next to him sighed, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"It was Xue Ning who hit me down, and I must not let her go!" Shen Yu said bluntly, looked up at Shen Ping, explained the situation at that time, and asked, "What about the girl from the Meng family?" In order to save me, she was also dragged down, I don't know if she was seriously injured? ”
"She hurt her brain after she fell, and I only went to see it in the morning, and I fell asleep all the time, and after soaking in the pool, I fell into a fever and fell into a coma, and the situation was very bad. She lives next door, and Heather comes over from time to time to watch. Shen Ping sighed, "Meng Jin was so angry that if Meng Xian couldn't wake up, he would let Xue Ning die." ”
"He also knows that Xue Ning did it?"
"When we arrived, both of you were injured, and no one saw the situation, but His Royal Highness King Duan let Xue Ning be arrested on the spot, and no one was allowed to approach, isn't that obvious. Xue Wanrong didn't dare to say anything, just wait for the two of you to wake up now. ”
Shen Yu sneered, waved her hand to tell Shi Nan to put down the soup bowl, and said, "Now that I'm awake, shouldn't I ask His Royal Highness Duan Wang to call the shots?" ”
"You can't move much with this leg injury, do you want to slow down?"
"No need to delay!" Shen Yu was resolute, and when she thought of the situation that Xue Ning bumped into at that time, she felt a chill in her heart, and said, "Daddy, there should be a spring stool here, right?" asked someone to carry me over, I wanted to ask Xue Ning what kind of heart he was at that time! ”
After listening to Shen Yan's narration, Shen Ping also felt that Xue Ning's mind was too vicious, so he immediately said, "I'll call someone." ”
After a while, four servant women carrying the spring stool came in, carefully changed Shen Yan's clothes to meet guests, and then moved Shen Yan to the spring stool, and then carried her to the next room steadily.
Xu Yan and Meng Jin were already waiting there, while Xue Wanrong stood silently and glanced at Shen Yan when he saw her, faintly warning.
But how could Shen Yu be afraid of him?
At the beginning, Xue Wanrong bullied Zheng Xun, and later he killed Xuancheng Zhenren, although Shen Yu did not hate Xue Wanrong to the core, she was also full of anger and resentment. At this time, she was injured in the leg, Meng Xian's life and death were uncertain, but Xue Wanrong showed the intention of protecting Xue Ning, how could people not be angry?
Shen Yan glared at him without giving way, her eyes were rare and sharp.
Behind her, Xue Ning was also brought in by two servants, standing at the door with her head bowed and not saying a word.
Meng Jin was the first to speak: "Now that everyone is complete, I won't beat around the bush. My daughter fell into the water today is really strange, since Miss Shen has woken up, can you explain the situation clearly? ”
"Of course." Shen Yu took over the conversation quickly, His Royal Highness Duan Wang was present, she was not afraid of what Xue Wanrong would do, she said it straightforwardly, and said: "Miss Meng fell into the water to save me, I am very grateful in my heart, and I also feel indebted." At that time, although there were only Miss Xue, Miss Meng and me on the stone, there were many people standing underneath, and no one else could see it. If Lord Xue didn't believe it, he could call the people who were present at the time and inquire slowly. ”
Xue Wanrong glanced at Shen Yan with a gloomy face, then paced to Xue Ning and said, "Is this serious?" ”
Xue Ning had been ordered by King Duan to take care of him before, and he had no chance to be alone with Xue Wanrong, but when he looked up at him at this time, the look of anxiety on his face was much more dissipated.
She quickly lowered her head and said, "I...... I didn't hit Shen Yan. There was water vapor on the stone, and it was easy to slip, I ...... It's just that I leaned over to listen to them tell the story, but I didn't know that Shen Yan would slide down. ”
Shen Yu sneered, "Really! There are countless people standing on that stone to watch the scenery, how can others stand firmly, but I just fell down? Xue Ning, we are not stupid, although there is water vapor on the stone, it has not slipped to the point where it makes people unstable. If you don't believe me, find someone to try! ”
Xue Ning moved behind Xue Wanrong, raised her head and said timidly: "Who knows if you fell on purpose!" ”
As soon as she said this, Xue Wanrong's face became a lot more ugly. It's a pity that Xue Ning lowered her head and didn't see this change.
"Lord Xue." Xu Yan, who had not spoken, suddenly took two steps forward and looked at Xue Wanrong, "This is what you call a goddaughter?" ”
"Your Highness, we weren't here at the time, since Miss Shen and the little girl have their own opinions," Xue Wanrong was obviously a little breathless, and asked tentatively with a little luck: "Let's wait for Miss Meng to wake up, shall we?" ”
"What if Miss Meng doesn't wake up all the time?"
"I won't wake up, I'm just choking on a few mouthfuls of water, as long as I ......"
Before Xue Wanrong could finish speaking, Meng Jin stepped up to him in a few steps and asked sharply, "What do you mean by just choking on a few mouthfuls of water?" My daughter hasn't woken up after falling asleep for a day, and now her life and death are uncertain, but Lord Xue said it so easily, do you want Ling Yan to taste this too? ”
He was obviously very angry, and he didn't care about Xue Wanrong's rank higher than him, so he raised his voice and said, "Why did His Royal Highness King Duan order the arrest of Ling Yan at that time, doesn't Lord Xue understand?" In addition to those subordinates present at that time, there were also His Royal Highness King Duan and Qin Gongzi, since Ling Yan refused to admit it, let's have a good confrontation! ”
This is to the point, Xu Yan lowered his head to drink tea, but couldn't help but smile.
Xue Wanrong didn't give up, "At that time, only my daughter was there, after all, she couldn't get rid of suspicion, and it was reasonable for His Royal Highness King Duan to arrest her." ”
He still had a bit of a luck mentality, tried his best to excuse himself, and looked at Xu Yan with pleading eyes, hoping that Xu Yan could protect him a little bit for the sake of being a member of the third grade.
But Meng Jin didn't let go, and directly turned his head and asked Xu Yan, "Is this what Your Highness means?" ”
"Of course not." Xu Yan raised his eyebrows, his voice was flat, "Xue Ning knocked Shen Yan down the boulder because this king saw it with his own eyes, otherwise why would I ask someone to arrest her?" ”
His plain words suddenly made Xue Wanrong's father and daughter's faces change greatly.
Xu Yan turned his head and asked the entourage behind him again, "Qin Yu should come back, call him in." ”
After Meng Xian fell into a coma, Lang Zhong racked his brains to prescribe medicine, because one of the medicines was very difficult to find, Qin Yu personally took someone to buy it.
After a while, the entourage invited Qin Yu in, and Xu Yan didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Lord Xue may not believe the words of this king, you might as well listen to what Qin Yu has seen." ”
As soon as he said this, Xue Wanrong was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly confessed.
By the time Qin Yu finished talking about what he had seen at the time, Xue Wanrong was already sweating like rain-
After Shen Yu woke up, she didn't have the slightest contact with Qin Yu, but the facts stated by the two were very consistent, not to mention that His Royal Highness King Duan witnessed it with his own eyes, and Xue Ning really had no room to shirk.
If they hadn't seen it, things would have been confusing, but now they have both made up their minds not to help him......
Xue Wanrong had no choice but to find himself under the stairs, and immediately changed his attitude of making amends, and confessed his guilt, "It's the little girl who was confused for a while, and I didn't expect her to be so confused, she dared to do such a bold thing, and was almost deceived by her." Miss Shen and Miss Meng here, I will definitely find the best Lang Zhong to take care of, I will not let the two girls be wronged, and I will teach the little girl well when I go back, and I ask Brother Meng and Brother Shen to forgive me. ”
"Lang Zhong naturally wants to please." Xu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Wanrong, "But Ling Yan deliberately murdered, this crime is not light, right?" ”
One sentence reminded Meng Jin, and he immediately said coldly: "How Lord Xue wants to teach Ling Yan in the future, that is your family matter, and it has nothing to do with me." However, this time Miss Shen was seriously injured, and my daughter's life and death are uncertain, could it be that Lord Xue apologized for the matter? ”
The embarrassment on Xue Wanrong's face was even worse.
In fact, if you really want to go to court, Xue Wanrong is not afraid of deliberately murdering such crimes, after all, Shen Yan only injured her leg, and Meng Xian was only unconscious, not drowned.
But if this is the case, then how can the Xue family's face be preserved?
At that time, not only will he be embarrassed, but Xue Ning's second half of his life will be affected.
Xue Wanrong felt a little headache, and he didn't dare to put up a fight in the face of the aggressive Meng Jin, but lowered his posture, "This matter is indeed a little girl, how does Brother Meng think it should be solved?" Suddenly remembering that there was another Shen Concubine who had the most headache, he turned to Shen Ping again, "Brother Shen, please also speak clearly." ”
Although Shen Ping had not said anything, his face was also full of anger, and he looked at Shen Yan when he heard the words.
Shen Yan had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, her eyes fell on Xue Ning like a blade, and she said without hesitation, "Miss Meng is sleeping in a coma in bed, and she is also seriously injured, so she must have suffered a lot." I thought, since Miss Xue is sincere in her desire to make amends, why don't you stay and serve the decoction and take care of your daily life until Miss Meng recovers? ”
Compared with Meng Jin's aggressiveness just now, this sentence can be regarded as tepid. But—
What does it mean to serve decoctions and take care of daily life?
Let Xue Ning stay in the Meng family, what will be waiting for her? And Shen Yu has the support of King Duan, behind this care of daily life, who knows what kind of difficulty it will be?
Xue Wanrong's expression changed greatly, and even Xue Ning, who had been silent, raised his head.
