Chapter 50: Misfortune is not a one-way street
Chu Yiyao asked Ah Chuan to take her to the child's house quickly, the carriage bypassed a few alleys and finally arrived at the slum, the carriage could not pass and could only walk, Chu Yiyao urged Ah Chuan to take her to the front of the low house, Chu Yiyao saw the child who was carrying a bucket to the house with one hand, and the other hand was wrapped with a rag and hung on his chest, as if he was injured. Chu Yiyao's hanging heart finally fell, and he was still alive, at least he was alive and not half of his body was lost.
"Bastard!" Cursed in a low voice and walked into the yard, the child put down the bucket and looked at her timidly, Chu Yiyao's dress was out of place with the surroundings.
"Did someone come to you, dressed better than me, and asked you about the spread of mandarin ducks in Chunmanlou?" Chu Yiyao was afraid of scaring him, so he asked in a soothing tone.
The kid lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Chu Yiyao, his eyes flashed with a touch of innocence, "Yes." ”
"And did your hand hurt someone?" Chu Yiyao looked at the arm wrapped in rags and reached out to touch it, but the child quickly took a step back, protected his arm, and shook his head violently.
Chu Yiyao felt distressed for a while, listened to the child shouting no, took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it to him, and said softly, "You take this silver to the medical hall, and ask the doctor to bandage your hands again." ”
The child's eyes flashed with hesitation, not taking the silver in Chu Yiyao's hand, at this time a woman wearing a cloth towel walked out of the room, Chu Yiyao simply gave her the silver, "This child did me a big favor last time, this is his salary, you take him to the hospital to take a good look, it's not good for such a big child to be crippled." ”
The woman took the silver with trembling hands, opened her mouth to say something, but finally took the child in her arms and said nothing. Chu Yiyao asked the kid if he had anything to do with Cao Jinrong, the kid pursed his lips and his eyes were full of fear, and he didn't want to say a word, Chu Yiyao sighed, with Cao Jinrong's temperament, he shouldn't come back a second time after the first time.
When Chu Yiyao left the slum, the child came out to see him off, although he kept silent about Cao Jinrong and watched the carriage go away. Chu Yiyao lifted the curtain, the child's body became smaller and smaller, and Chu Yiyao sat back in the carriage a little sullenly.
Chu Yiyao didn't know how Cao Jinrong knew that she had designed him, and the most upsetting thing for her now was that the second brother still had correspondence with the mandarin duck, Cao Jinrong connived at her concubine to do these things under her nose, but she couldn't watch the second brother continue to have dealings with the mandarin duck, who knows if Cao Jinrong would have a whim and directly sent someone to the Chu family, saying that it was the beauty of adults.
Even if the mandarin duck is the second brother's concubine, Chu Yiyao is unwilling, there is nothing wrong with liking a person, it is absolutely impossible to be infatuated to this point, the second brother has just made some progress in the business bank, and the lessons of the previous life are not deep enough, the second brother spent a lot of money after redeeming the mandarin duck, not to mention, he didn't care about anything in the business, he asked the second uncle to coax the mandarin duck with silver all day long, and then once in order to buy a big boat for the mandarin duck to swim in the lake, he directly took the Chu family's family business and the second uncle to buy the big boat, and the mandarin duck did not go home on the boat for several days, The Chu family's property fell so quickly, and the mandarin ducks also contributed a lot, and they didn't forget to take some away when they finally left the second brother.
Such a person, how could Chu Yiyao allow her to step into the Chu family for half a step...
Chu Yiyao here was heartbroken for Chu Duyuan, and the Cheng family over there, Chu Miaoluo cried for Cheng Shaopeng to write a letter to Chu Yiyao.
Cheng Shaopeng is an extremely honest person, he thinks there is nothing wrong with this, and there is nothing wrong with it, so he said frankly when Chu Miaoluo came to question, he wrote to greet Chu Yiyao, in this special position in his heart, he does not mix any letters of pure concern There is no problem in his opinion.
So Cheng Shaopeng couldn't understand why his gentle and lovely wife was so unreasonable.
Chu Miaoluo's eyes were bruised and swollen when she cried, and she saw Cheng Shaopeng's slightly confused expression, Cheng Shaopeng patiently comforted, "I and Yiyao are not the kind of relationship you think, I grew up with her since childhood, you can't let me be a stranger directly with this kind of affection, there have been so many things in the Chu family in the past few years, she has worked hard as a girl, you should also care about her as a sister, why are you still messing with me about this matter." ”
"Trouble? You still say it's a joke? Chu Miaoluo looked at him crying, her eyes were full of accusations, "Then you tell me to go back to Chu's house to see, or send something, why bother with private messages, you know how my mother was humiliated by Yiyao when she went to ask, she said that I hooked up with you without clothes, I don't know shame, I know that you have a marriage contract and still have to write to you, she is about to faint and you still protect her." ”
"Yiyao wouldn't say that." A touch of unbearability flashed on Cheng Shaopeng's face, and he had the impression that Yiyao was sharp and unreasonable, and he would not say such humiliating words.
Chu Miaoluo's throat tightened, and his breath almost couldn't come up, and he stared at him with a red face, "You mean, this is all nonsense I'm talking about, my mother is talking nonsense!" ”
Cheng Shaopeng was silent, he was responsible for Chu Miaoluo, and he also liked the love of men and women, but it didn't mean that he couldn't see that this mother-in-law was a person, and he could come to their house to make such a fuss and make a mother like this, those behaviors were like wild women in mountain villages, in comparison, he believed that these words were made up by Xiao himself.
"Shao Peng, I've been married to you for almost a year, I don't have anything bad to do in the Cheng family, I decided to save the morning and dusk, this concubine was also mentioned to you, and two more were arranged in the room, and I treated your cousin and sister-in-law with courtesy, all the grievances were swallowed in my stomach, and I never said anything in front of you." Chu Miaoluo choked up, and Douda's tears fell, dripping on Cheng Shaopeng's hands, which were hot.
"Your mother sent the maid over to open her face, I didn't complain at all, but whose wife can endure her husband in someone else's house so much, but I can't tell you the pain in my heart, because I want to be generous, your mother only has a smile on your cousin, and she takes her with her when she goes out, I haven't followed her out a few times, it's been a year since I got married, how many people still don't know what the young grandmother of the Cheng family is like, Yilin is young, and the most she says in her mouth is Yiyao, and she doesn't have a good face when she sees me, I can't tell you, Because it's all my own fault if I don't do it well. Chu Miaoluo cried directly into Cheng Shaopeng's arms.
Cheng Shaopeng has never seen her sad like this, there was still some dissatisfaction on her face, and she was only distressed in an instant, he only knew that her mother and sister didn't like her, but she didn't know that they made it so difficult for her, she had to bear this alone for the past year, and she had never revealed half a sentence to herself, just for this, Cheng Shaopeng's heart was about to ache.
"I don't feel wronged by this, because with you, as long as you are by my side, believe in me, and love me, I am not afraid of these, and I can endure it for you." Chu Miaoluo wiped her tears and looked up at him, her eyes were full of grievances, "But you made me sad and refused to believe me, which is more unacceptable to me than anything." ”
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have doubted you." Cheng Shaopeng hugged her and comforted her softly, Chu Miaoluo said again, "Even if Shao Peng, no matter how good the relationship between you and Yiyao was in the past, now that you have married her and are not married, it is not good for everyone to spread it, just let the mind arrive, why add something for others to say." ”
At this time, everything Chu Miaoluo said was right, Cheng Shaopeng hugged her and came down, and even asked Cheng Shaopeng to refuse Mrs. Cheng to send two more maids over.
Chu Miaoluo, who was in Cheng Shaopeng's arms, finally showed a satisfied smile on her face, her mother was right, this grievance should be pressed, pressed to find an opportunity to break out, so that you can achieve what you want and get what you want.
The atmosphere in the room gradually warmed up again, and suddenly Mother Lin shouted loudly outside, "Young grandmother, Madame, please come over." ”
At this moment, when the affection was strong, when Mother Lin shouted like this, the atmosphere was instantly extinguished, Chu Miaoluo tightened the placket of the clothes that had been pulled away by Cheng Shaopeng, and came out of his arms with a blushing face, but this eye was still red, how to go to see Mrs. Cheng.
asked Mei Xiang to take water again, and after applying her face, Chu Miaoluo put on some powder, and the little couple hurried to Mrs. Cheng's, waiting for them to arrive, Mrs. Cheng glanced at Chu Miaoluo and said to Cheng Shaopeng, "Shao Peng, what are you doing at home in the business house in the middle of the day, you are already a family, don't let your father work so hard." ”
Cheng Shaopeng wanted to leave, but when he thought of Chu Miaoluo's crying before, and then looked at the stormy look on his mother's face, Cheng Shaopeng decided to stay.
"Mother, I just came back from the shop, if you have anything important, you can't let my son listen to me." Cheng Shaopeng said a little relaxed, but Mrs. Cheng's expression sank a little, and then looked at Chu Miaoluo's eyes, which couldn't cover the redness and swelling, and raised her eyes to look at Mother Lin who was following behind them.
In the middle of the ring, Mrs. Cheng motioned for them all to sit down, "The ugliness of the family is not publicized, you should also listen to the things in your own yard." ”
"Please come out, Miss Table." Cheng Shaopeng didn't understand what Mrs. Cheng meant, so the two maids helped Li Ruoqing out of the inner room, with a veil covering her face, revealing only a pair of eyes that were more pink than Chu Miaoluo's crying.
"Good boy, my aunt will give you justice, come and sit next to me." Mrs. Cheng called her to sit down beside her, and through the veil, she could faintly see the red spots on Li Ruoqing's face.
Then someone brought a small porcelain jar to Chu Miaoluo, and Mrs. Cheng said, "Open it and show the young grandmother if this is the beauty cream she gave to Miss Biao." ”
Chu Miaoluo chuckled in her heart, glanced down, and replied, "Yes, mother, this is the beauty cream I sent to my cousin, and I am using it myself." ”
"It's yours to send it, Ruoqing, take off the veil and show it to your cousin, what effect is it used by your cousin-in-law." Mrs. Cheng nodded, with no joy or anger on her face, and asked Li Ruoqing to take off the veil.
Li Ruoqing glanced at Cheng Shaopeng with tears in her eyes, lowered her head and said softly, "Auntie, forget it, my cousin is also here." ”
"It's good if he's here, you can take it down, and your aunt will call the shots for you!" Mrs. Cheng's voice was a little higher, and Li Ruoqing reached out to her ear and took off the veil.
The moment the veil was taken off, Li Ruoqing clearly saw the shock that flashed on Cheng Shaopeng's face, and the tears collapsed again, Li Ruoqing covered her face with the veil and cried lowly, and the shocked expression on Cheng Shaopeng's face had not yet receded, he never thought that he hadn't seen him for two days, how could his beautiful and lovely cousin become like this.
The cheeks under the eyes were flushed and swollen, and there were dots of red marks, which were particularly oozing on the red and swollen face, completely changed, and the ugliness couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"Mother, what the hell is going on." After a long time, Cheng Shao Peng came to his senses and asked Mrs. Cheng in disbelief.
"You ask your good daughter-in-law, what is her intention, what poison is added to this beauty ointment, and Ruoqing has only used it a few times." Mrs. Cheng pointed to the porcelain jar, which Chu Miaoluo personally admitted just now that she had given it.
"This, is there any misunderstanding in this, how could Miao Luo deliberately want to hurt her cousin." Cheng Shaopeng avoided Li Ruoqing's direction and said to Mrs. Cheng.
"Cousin, do you mean that I guess I ruined my own face to slander my cousin?" Li Ruoqing was so angry that she took off her veil and said to Cheng Shaopeng, and the redness and swelling on her face were affected by her words, which looked particularly weird.
"Cousin, that's not what I meant." Cheng Shaopeng hurriedly explained, Chu Miaoluo on the side couldn't react for a long time, how could the beauty cream she sent to Chu Yiyao when she went to sea appear here, she was naturally not stupid enough to poison the place that was given to Li Ruoqing, so when did this thing get mixed up with herself, and it just happened to be sent away!
"What else is there to explain this!" Mrs. Cheng, who was originally calm, suddenly slapped the table and scolded, "You still protect your daughter-in-law, I've already seen it with a doctor, this thing is poisoned, it doesn't matter if you put it on your face once or twice, after a long time, it will be like your cousin, the thing was sent to Ruoqing by her, is it possible that Ruoqing has to poison herself and say that your daughter-in-law did it?" ”
"Mother, this is not the one I sent, I have no reason to hurt my cousin, I still have this thing in the house for my own use, how can I add something here." Chu Miaoluo suddenly came back to her senses and explained, Li Ruoqing's face was really scary.
"You didn't send it, who sent it!" No one will believe this explanation at all, there is just such a thing, and the maid sent to it is also sent by her, who else in this Cheng family will interfere in the blame.
Chu Miaoluo didn't know what to say, she knew that this was what she had sent to Chu Yiyao, no wonder Chu Yiyao hadn't changed at all when she came back from Datong, it turned out that she hadn't used it at all.
She said that it was Chu Yiyao's hands and feet, and she mixed things in to harm her, but she accidentally hurt her cousin, and they wouldn't believe it.
"Mother, this is really not the one I sent, I sent someone directly after I prepared the things, if I want to hurt my cousin, how can I not do anything with the things I sent!" Chu Miaoluo hurriedly denied it, and couldn't understand for a while how this beauty cream came to her again.
The author has something to say: Gaga, let's post a little earlier today~~~ Yo yo cutting trouble, the beauty cream that my friends asked, now come out to exercise its great duty~~ I can say that it was used by my cousin to become like this, is it purely Chu Miaoluo's luck
