Chapter 391: Dead and Alive
Zhang Guang raised his head, his gaze slid over Emperor Chu's majestic face, and then he lowered it humbly again, and slowly said something very clearly.
Emperor Chu's eyes seemed to narrow, and there seemed to be a cold light in his eyes in an instant, looking at Zhang Guang's eyes as if he was a little surprised and as if he was very ordinary, he made a "hmm" that was not light or heavy, and his coercive gaze fell on Zhang Guang's head for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Okay, you can retire." ”
Out of the palace, Zhang Guang, who had a gloomy face, looked at the sky, a sneer hooked at the corner of his mouth, and muttered inscrutablely, "Mu Yunzhao, even if you escape to the edge of the sky, you will die." ”
Although he was very tired after a few laps outside, Zhang Guang remembered that he had not found nothing, so he went home with a cold face that could drip water.
Since learning that there is no hope of recovery, Zhang Guang has been reluctant to see any doctors, let alone take any medicine.
Mrs. Zhang was afraid of irritating him, and after he refused twice in silence, she gave him up.
Although he didn't need to take any more medicine when he returned home, Zhang Guang was afraid that facing those compassionate and sympathetic eyes would only make him feel embarrassed and make him feel that even a little bit of self-esteem had been stripped away.
So he returned to the house with a cold face, refusing to see anyone, only burying his head in his own yard to isolate himself.
Except for the servants Zhang Guang and his subordinates trembling and pinching cold sweats, the Zhang family was also calm as usual this night.
However, this apparent calm was shattered when an unexpected letter was delivered to Zhang Guang the next day.
And, not long after the letter was delivered to Zhang Guang, he asked people to invite Mrs. Zhang to his yard.
When Mrs. Zhang heard that he had sent someone to invite her, she was immediately surprised and delighted.
"Guang'er, do you have something to look for me?" As soon as she entered the side hall, although she saw Zhang Guang bowing her head and thinking, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What is so anxious?" ”
"Mother, you sit first." Zhang Guang stood up, helped Mrs. Zhang sit down first, and personally poured tea for her before saying, "I want to take a concubine." ”
"What?" Mrs. Zhang looked at him dumbfounded, and her words were definitely more shocking than when she suddenly heard that the sky was about to fall.
Zhang Guang glanced at her, his eyes were gloomy, and his face was obviously a little darker.
Mrs. Zhang pinched her heart, looked at him with a puzzled expression, tried to squeeze out a smile, and asked cautiously, "Why did you suddenly ...... Well, you just want to take a concubine? ”
Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to directly mention to him that it was unruly to take a concubine before she was married, and her son knew that it was no longer good, and suddenly proposed to take a concubine at this time, there must be a reason for him.
Now, what she has to do is not to stimulate her son, but to inquire about the reason first.
Zhang Guang glanced at her silently, his eyes were still gloomy and cold, and there was a bit of incomprehensible complexity mixed in it.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't understand what he meant by such a complicated look, but then she saw Zhang Guang silently handing her something.
"Mother see for herself."
Mrs. Zhang looked up at him suspiciously, but still reached out to take the letter he handed over.
“…… She has been pregnant for more than three months, and she is looking forward to her son's leisure ......" Mrs. Zhang read the strange letter almost at a glance and ten lines, but after reading it, the originally pretended calm look on her face could no longer be restrained.
Looking up at Zhang Guang, the complexion was immediately pleasantly surprised, and when he looked at it again, there seemed to be tears flashing in his eyes.
The sad emotion, surprise, and all kinds of emotions poured into her tearful eyes for a while, Zhang Guang was only stared at by her eyes, and immediately turned his head away with a heavy heart.
The letter was written by An Ruqin.
Originally, An Ruqin didn't dare to write to Zhang's house, but she was pregnant, but Zhang Guang did not show up for more than two months.
She was so nervous that she had tossed and turned for several nights before deciding to write this letter.
Without Zhang Guang's consent, even if she took the risk of giving birth to a child, she would not be able to guarantee her future life at all, so she could only make up her mind to gamble when the fetus was stable and it was confirmed that it was a boy.
She was cautious and humble in her letter, but after reading the letter, Mrs. Zhang felt that there was no more happier news these days.
"Guang'er," Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Guang with a gloomy and cold face with tears, choked up and full of joy and relief, "You have a queen." ”
Mrs. Zhang only cared about the joy in her heart, and forgot for a while that this was tantamount to sprinkling salt directly on Zhang Guang's wound.
As soon as Zhang Guang heard this, his heart was originally just a dull ache, but he immediately felt a hot pain, and he felt pain all over his body even when he took a breath.
"This matter is wrapped up in my mother, and my mother will definitely bring you people to the house in good condition." Mrs. Zhang pinched the letterhead, even if it would be patting her chest to pack the ticket, her hand was still shaking.
This feeling is completely too excited to express in words.
At the moment, An Ruqin's letter is like a person walking in the desert who is dying of thirst and suddenly sees an oasis.
Can Mrs. Zhang not be ecstatic?
Zhang Guang knew that no matter what An Ruqin's background was, it would no longer matter, the important thing was that An Ruqin was pregnant with his child in his belly, the only child in his life.
He also knew that with the threshold of the Zhang family, even if An Ruqin was pregnant with the only child in his life, it would be impossible for him to step forward as a wife openly.
Therefore, when he opened his mouth, he just asked his mother to help take a concubine.
Zhang Guang is so sensible and measured, Mrs. Zhang was already distressed and pity that he would not be able to do anything in the future, but when she suddenly heard the good news at this moment, she naturally would only nod her head and agree.
Mrs. Zhang is easy to talk to, because she is completely from her mother's position and thinks about Zhang Guang with a motherly heart. But when it came to Zhang Gongyu, he resolutely opposed it.
"No, Guang'er hasn't married a wife yet, how can he take a concubine with great fanfare first." He had a dark face, his brows were tightly twisted, and he was full of opposition from head to toe, "Doesn't this make everyone in the world laugh at my Zhang family, and in the future, they will criticize my Zhang family for having no rules?" ”
"As soon as such a precedent is opened, who will dare to marry the girl into our Zhang family in the future?"
This sounds good, Zhang Gongyu is thinking about the situation of the whole clan. But Zhang Guang couldn't recover in the future, Mrs. Zhang was already sad, and naturally had a heart of compensation in this matter, and when she heard this, she was immediately unhappy, "Guang'er's situation is special, and you are not unclear." ”
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhang was so sad and uncomfortable, looking at Zhang Gongyu's face as black as the bottom of a pot, her heart became even more angry, "Do you want to be happy when you see him die?" ”
"If you marry a wife and take a concubine, in his case, what if you marry a virtuous girl and give him a wife in the future, you can't inherit the incense for him......"
Mrs. Zhang lowered her head with tears, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and sobbed in a low voice, unable to speak any longer.
Zhang Gongyu thought and thought, thought and thought. After a long time, he frowned and said with great reluctance, "People can be brought to the mansion for the time being, but they can't make a big splash, and they can't let outsiders know that it is Guang'er's concubine." ”
Taking a concubine before marrying a wife is not a question of whether the Zhang family can afford to lose face, but that the family style and character of the whole clan will be criticized and questioned in the future.
People can be selfish, but they can't put the entire Zhang family in such a contemptuous position just because they have fulfilled Zhang Guang alone.
It is not easy to achieve a family, but it is possible to destroy a family in an instant.
Mrs. Zhang had a cold face and was silent for a long time before she reluctantly nodded, and only then did she agree with Zhang Gongyu's idea.
As for Zhang Guang?
He didn't care about this at all, if An Ruqin didn't happen to be pregnant with his child, he wouldn't let her appear in front of people at all.
Zhang Guangminggen was injured, and he probably will never be able to recover from this, and An Ruqin naturally won't know. Except for the people of the Zhang family and the doctor who once treated Zhang Guang, no one would know about this.
Mu Yunzhao would flee at that time, and he also guessed from Zhang Guang's injury.
Therefore, when Mrs. Zhang sent someone to suddenly come to the door to take An Ruqin into Zhang's house, it was definitely a big surprise for An Ruqin.
Even if she didn't have any etiquette and didn't have the name of a battle, she was quietly accepted into Zhang's house like this, and the big stone that had been pressed on her heart for a long time could be regarded as completely relaxed.
Since the Zhang family sent someone to pick up their mother and son into the house, it is equivalent to acquiescing in their mother and son status.
In the past, An Ruqin definitely didn't even dare to think about it.
Fortunately, when she fell at the door of Meiyu Pavilion that day, she met Ji Yuan, who knew medical skills, if she hadn't met Ji Yuan at that time, where would she still be rich and glorious today.
Thinking of Ji Yuan, I naturally thought of the bits and pieces that Ji Yuan had done her best to help her protect the fetus in the past few months.
Even though she has now moved into the gorgeous and wealthy Zhang Mansion, An Ruqin still insisted on asking Ji Yuan to protect her pregnancy.
Ji Yuan knew that after she moved into Zhang's Mansion, she didn't want to step into Zhang's Mansion, in her words, "I'm afraid of trouble, there are many rules in this high-gate compound," but in the end, An Ruqin begged bitterly.
Thinking that she had taken care of An Ruqin for a few months, An Ruqin's current situation was barely settled, if she let go at this time, she really didn't know what would happen to An Ruqin when she gave birth.
Ji Yuan was a doctor with a strong sense of responsibility, and in the end, under An Ruqin's pleading, and after considering various circumstances, she reluctantly agreed to continue to come to Zhang's Mansion to protect her fetus.
On this day, Ji Yuan came to Zhang's Mansion to check on An Ruqin as usual, and after making sure that An Ruqin's condition was quite stable, she left Zhang's Mansion.
And after she left, it was Mrs. Zhang who specially invited the doctor for An Ruqin, and she also came to ask An Ruqin for a pulse.
However, An Ruqin, who was still normal under Ji Yuan's diagnosis a moment ago, suddenly had abdominal pain when the doctor stepped into her room to ask for her pulse.
This pain is not simply over with two screams.
An Ruqin suddenly had abdominal pain, and without warning, she began to see red.
"Ah, doctor, save me, save my child......" An Ruqin, who was dying of pain in bed at the moment, endured bursts of pain like a knife, looked at the doctor with a solemn expression in his confused eyes, and pleaded in a trembling voice
