Chapter 2/68 Seeking Justice
Liu Ruoxi was tired of serving the Su clan and fainted in front of the Su clan in Chunhui Hall. After that, she was placed in the warm pavilion next to Su's bedroom, during which Mama Chang took the two girls of June and Layue to serve in front of Liu Ruoxi for a moment, until the second master and the second wife Liu arrived, Liu Ruoxi opened her eyes and woke up.
Second Master Liu's face was gloomy, but Second Mrs. Liu held Liu Ruoxi's hand wrapped in layers of gauze, crying and saying babblingly. Even if the person who went to report the news had already told the inside story, Mrs. Liu was still distressed when she saw Liu Ruoxi's current situation.
"Auntie, Auntie, how do you feel when you wake up?" Seeing Liu Ruoxi wake up and turn around, Mrs. Liu asked when she was busy.
Before Liu Ruoxi could answer, she heard a little girl running out, saying that the third lady was awake, and the third lady was awake. Liu Ruoxi fainted, and Su Shi was also startled. Then Mama Chang's crying and begging for mercy made Su a little stunned for a while. Not only was the entire palace a sensation, but somehow, Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu also knew the news and rushed over overnight.
When Su Shi heard that the little girl came in to report that the second master and the second wife Liu had arrived in front of the mansion, the teacup in the shocked hand was a little unstable. If, Liu Ruoxi really has three long and two short......
At this moment, Su Shi was anxiously waiting for news in the bedroom. Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu came, and immediately "invited" the people from the palace from Liu Ruoxi's side. Even the imperial doctor invited by the palace was politely invited to the side, and the second master and the second wife of Liu invited Cui Yuan from the Tai Hospital to come over and personally treat Liu Ruoxi.
Su knew that Cui Yuan judged that the late Scholar Qi, the father of the second wife of Liu, was close friends, and he also had a good relationship with the second master of Liu. It seems that in the eyes of Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, the imperial doctors invited by the palace cannot be trusted at all, they only trust the people they brought.
Although Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu did not owe anything in etiquette, the alienation, suspicion and condemnation revealed in their attitudes were clear.
At this moment, the old prince and the prince in the palace are Rong Chengyi. and Rong Chenghan are not there, only Rong Chengxiang. Su called Rong Chengxiang to greet Second Master Liu, but was lightly rejected by Second Mrs. Liu. Second Master Liu said that he had no other thoughts at the moment, but he just wanted to guard his daughter until he woke up. Fortunately, there is also a Lloyd's Register, which takes care of it inside and out.
Fortunately, there is also Su Qingnuan.
There was such a thing here in Chunhui Hall, and Su Qingnuan naturally got the news, she came over almost immediately, and originally wanted to go to Liu Ruoxi. But she was very "polite" but resolutely invited by Mama Chang. Su Qingnuan has been with Su Shi.
I heard the little girl come to report that Liu Ruoxi had woken up. Su Shi hurriedly recited Amitabha, and the hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach slightly.
"Aunt," Su Qingnuan saw that there was no one else beside her, and hurriedly whispered to persuade Su, "Auntie, why should she be like this." The elder and the young are respectful and humble, and the Liu family is a scholarly family, don't you still understand the reason. The third sister-in-law has the resources to serve her aunt, so there is really something. That's too...... The filial piety of the third sister-in-law. What's more, I see that the third sister-in-law looks good, not like someone who falls down so easily. β
Su Qingnuan was hinting to Su Shi that there was something else wrong with Liu Ruoxi's fainting. Accompanied by Su. This is not the first time Su Qingnuan has said this. Su Shi was said by Su Qingnuan, and he was also suspicious. Because of the arrival of Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, the Su family was anxious, and Su Qingnuan also offered advice to the Su family. Let Su lie down and pretend to be sick even more. Only in this way will you be able to cope with the situation at hand.
After all, it was difficult for Liu Ruoxi. Su Shi was also a little weak-hearted, so he listened to Su Qingnuan. But compared to Su Qingnuan's composure, Su Shi was not so at ease. Hearing that Liu Ruoxi had woken up, Su Shi was happy on the one hand, but worried on the other.
Fang Cai Liu Ruoxi didn't wake up, and the second master and second wife Liu only cared about Liu Ruoxi. At this time, Liu Ruoxi woke up, and the second master and second wife Liu were afraid that they would have to talk to her.
Su Qingnuan sat next to Su's chuang, and from Su's face, Su Qingnuan guessed what Su's was thinking now. Su Qingnuan's eyes flashed with anger, and then she leaned into Su's ear and gave Su another idea.
ββ¦β¦ If you don't ask, if you ask, your aunt doesn't need to give a good face. β¦β¦ My aunt is so kind-hearted that they dare to bully the door like this......"
Su Qingnuan was whispering, when she heard the door curtain ringing, and Mama Xing walked in. Su Qingnuan's eyes flashed slightly, and she immediately stopped talking.
"What's the matter?" Su Shi was hesitant to be said by Su Qingnuan, and when he saw Mama Xing coming in, he hurriedly asked.
"Back to the princess, the third lady has woken up. Scholar Liu and his wife want to see the princess. Mama Xing replied with her eyelids lowered.
Sure enough, Liu Ruoxi woke up, and Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu were about to talk to her.
"Aunt......" Su Qingnuan saw that Su's expression was still not very stable, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Scholar Liu is the second brother to accompany him to talk, and the second wife Liu has a virtuous temperament, and she talks to her aunt very much." "The old prince is not here, and it is this time again, and the Su family can not see the second master Liu. As for Mrs. Liu, she is a well-known soft-tempered woman in the capital. Su Qingnuan was gossiping on the surface, but in fact she was reminding Su Shi.
"Exactly." Su also knew that Second Mrs. Liu was not afraid of what Second Mrs. Liu would do to her, so she was busy and ordered Rong Chengxiang to come over to accompany Second Master Liu, and at the same time, she instructed Mama Xing to invite Second Mrs. Liu to come in and talk.
"Back to the princess, Mrs. Liu San is also here." Mama Xing reported again.
"The third wife of the Liu family!" Su Shi immediately frowned. There were only a few interactions with Mrs. Liu San, but Su Shi left a deep impression on Mrs. Liu San. Mrs. Liu San has a pungent temperament, and unlike the ordinary wives and grandmothers in Beijing, they speak in a crepe, beating around the bush, leaving face and leeway. Mrs. Liu San is famous for her sharp mouth, and her words are like knives, and the knife is pointed directly at the point, and she never cares about any face or leeway.
Su didn't want to see Mrs. Liusan, but when Mrs. Liusan came, she couldn't only see Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu. If no one sees that, it's obviously even more inappropriate.
Su Qingnuan gave Su Shi a lot of ideas, but she didn't remind her that since she was pretending to be sick even more, why didn't she just see anyone.
Moreover, this matter can be avoided for a while, but it still can't be avoided after all. Su had no choice but to bite the bullet. Let people invite Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San to come in and talk.
In the warm pavilion, Liu Ruoxi's legs were covered with brocade quilts, and she was sitting on the couch, eating bird's nest porridge one by one. This bird's nest porridge was brought to Liu Ruoxi by Mrs. Liu San at the behest of Mrs. Liu's second wife, and it was still warm when she entered it. This is the reason why Second Mrs. Liu knew that Liu Ruoxi didn't have much to eat today.
The girls and mothers-in-law of the palace were all invited out, and the room was full of people from Liufu, and naturally they were all henchmen, and everyone gathered around Liu Ruoxi's couch. I heard the little girl outside say that it was Su Shi who invited Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San to come over. Liu Ruoxi put the bowl down.
"There's Aunt Lao." Liu Ruoxi said to Mrs. Liu San.
"Say such kind things to my aunt." Mrs. Liu San smiled, "You/Mother is too weak, wait for your aunt to give you anger." β
"My mother is weak, but this weakness can also come in handy." Liu Ruoxi smiled, "Auntie, I still have to ask for you." I'll see my mother and my Su family's seventh sister in a moment,...... Don't save my face. β
"Understood, three girls. Don't worry. Mrs. Liu San laughed, speaking of which, she really liked Liu Ruoxi's temperament.
"Mother, have you remembered everything I told you?" Liu Ruoxi asked Mrs. Liu again.
"Don't worry. Mother remembers. Second Mrs. Liu said that for the sake of her daughter, she also let go today.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San went out, Liu Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. Then let Mama Chang serve and lie down, she was really tired today, and she took advantage of this time to make up for sleep.
Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San were led by the maid of the palace. walked into Su's bedroom. Su Shi was lying on the chuang, and when she heard the girl's report, she raised herself from the chuang and asked Su Qingnuan and the little girl to help her up.
Looking at this, I don't know that I naturally think that Su's disease is very serious.
It's just that Mrs. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu San turned a blind eye to this, and Mrs. Liu San helped Mrs. Liu Er, and Mrs. Liu Er cried when she entered the house. The two of them didn't say a word to ask about Su's condition, and sat next to Su's chuang, and Mrs. Liu Er cried while asking about Su's.
ββ¦β¦ A good girl, Jinshan Yinshan was sent in to marry, and they all said that the princess was the most charitable person and would not torture people. But my daughter, in just a few days, has become like this. If she has a good one, we husband and wife will not be able to live. β
Second Mrs. Liu simply took Su's hand and cried.
"My daughter is a straight person, not in the temperament of the princess. The princess lacks something, just tell me. There is a shortage of people to serve the princess, and how many people do I want, gold and silver, I sold my family wealth, and I also gave them up. I only beg the princess to spare my daughter. The princess really didn't like her, so she just told me, and I took her back, so that I could save my life. β
"What are these words, what are these words." Su Shi was cried by Mrs. Liu's crying, and she also cried very much.
Mama Chang was already crying and asking her to spare her life, and now Mrs. Liu Er also begged her like this. If this is a legend, what will others say?
"The second wife is just afraid that it is a misunderstanding." Su Qingnuan hurriedly said a sentence, but this sentence was a reminder for Su Shi.
However, before Su Shi could get a hint to say something, Mrs. Liu San raised her eyes first.
"Who is this, the master is talking, there is a hairy girl interjecting here, she doesn't know the rules, she has no shame, is this the system of the palace!" Mrs. Liu San pointed at Su Qingnuan and scolded.
Su Qingnuan was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red. She also grew up like a moon held by the stars since she was a child, how could she have been scolded in front of her face like this, she was ashamed and angry for a while, but she couldn't say anything to Mrs. Liu San.
Su Shi was also stunned, and naturally unhappy in his heart, but he was busy explaining to Mrs. Liu San.
"This is my niece." Su Shi said, "The third wife should have seen it." β
"Oh, it turned out to be the seventh girl of the Su family." Mrs. Liu San deliberately looked at Su Qingnuan carefully, and immediately smiled, "The light is dim, and I didn't see it for a while." I also didn't expect that Miss Su Qi was not in the boudoir at home at this time, why did she come here for no reason. β
"The seven girls have been living in the palace these days, and I have left the seven girls to live and accompany me." Su Shi was busy, and his feelings for maintaining Su Qingnuan were beyond words.
"The princess looks sorry for the girl, how can she bear it and abuse my daughter like this!" Mrs. Liu cried again, but there was anger in her tone.
"I have long heard that the seventh girl of the Su family is a knowledgeable person, and the princess is even more fond of the seventh girl Su. Rely on it. In this case, why didn't Miss Su Qi persuade the princess well. Miss Su Qi also went to my house, saying that she was a close friend of my third girl. Miss Su Qi not only didn't persuade the princess, but she couldn't bear to watch her friend suffer like this! I can't understand the Seven Girls, what is the Seven Girls thinking? β
Su Qingnuan originally wanted to help Su Shi say a few words, but when she raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Liu San, she closed her mouth smartly, and she didn't even dare to distinguish for herself.
"My in-laws' wife misunderstood me......" Su Shi said hurriedly.
"Misunderstanding or not, the princess herself should be clear. We shouldn't all be treated like fools. Mrs. Liu San didn't wait for Su Shi to continue, and immediately sneered. Not to mention such a big palace, the princess is in front of her, even an ordinary person like us, and she understands some truths. It's not a small family that can't get on the stage, marrying a daughter-in-law and entering the door, eager to be a cow and a horse. The mother-in-law has never seen much of the world, and when she got a daughter-in-law, she became a powerful and blessed. People like ours marry daughters-in-law. It is good to marry two surnames, have children, and prosper the family. β
"The princess is sick and needs to be served. What people don't. Why do you have to be a daughter-in-law to serve until late all day, and serve at night. Speaking of which, our three girls have only been in the door for a few days, but the princess is the root of her old illness. In the past, without our three girls, the princess would not have lived? β
"I subdued our three girls like rough servants for a whole day, and I didn't sit for a while. I didn't even give me any food. Right in front of the princess, her hands were hurt like that, and the princess couldn't bear to ask her to continue serving at night until she passed out in front of the princess. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few loyal people around her, I was afraid that the three girls wouldn't be able to wait for us to come! β
"What are these words...... The princess also blushed, and when she wanted to tell the difference, Mrs. Liu San didn't give her a chance at all.
"That's the truth, of course." Mrs. Liu San sneered, "When we don't know, it's not a day or two that the princess has seen our girl unpleasantly. When our girl entered the door, the princess was unwilling. In the princess's heart, there is another favorite daughter-in-law candidate. It's just that I can't stop the Hou Ye from being willing, and the old prince is in charge. The princess has now lost the girl in our family, and she is just marrying the person the princess likes. β
"I'm afraid, this is not the princess's meaning alone, the princess's favorite daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that she will give advice to the princess."
"The princess is a well-known virtuous person...... Second Mrs. Liu said at this time.
Although Su Shi heard that Mrs. Liu's tone was wrong, compared to Mrs. Liu's third, she still thought that Mrs. Liu was able to speak.
"Mrs. in-laws, I don't ......"
"The princess may have been deceived and deceived." Mrs. Liu said.
"Oh......" Su Shi was dumbfounded.
"The princess is naturally a virtuous person, but if you are a virtuous person, the life of our girl is not a life?" Mrs. Liu San sneered again, "Even if our girl saves her life this time, I guarantee that there will be such luck next time." β
"Exactly." At this time, Mrs. Liu Er stopped crying, "Our girls from the Liu family are not bullied like this, and the princess will definitely give us an explanation for this matter." β
"Not bad." Mrs. Liu San also said, "Don't hide it from the princess, our old lady got the news just now, and immediately fainted in pain." The reason why I came a step late was because I accompanied our old lady. God forbid, the old lady woke up. It is a reduction of the iniquity of the iniquity. In a little while, our old lady will also come to see the princess. We three girls, that's our old lady's baby bump. β
When Mrs. Liu's words landed, someone outside came in to report, saying that the eldest master of the Liu family and the third master were accompanying Mrs. Liu. Master Liu and Master Liu San naturally went to the study to talk, and Rong Chengxiang accompanied them, but Mrs. Liu was supported by everyone and came directly to Chunhui Hall.
Su Shi was on the chuang at this time, neither getting up nor lying down. Su Qingnuan was beside her, staring at Mrs. Liu San, but she couldn't say or move.
Old Lady Liu was helped in by everyone and sat down beside Su's chuang.
"Princess Niangniang, my Liu family is naturally not as powerful as the royal palace, and the Su family, the princess Niangniang's maiden family, is also in a high position. However, my Liu family is an heirloom, and there are also some relatives and friends in the court, and protΓ©gΓ©s. And the people of my Liu family, there is nothing else, but there are still a few hard bones and a few pens in their hands. The girl of my Liu family is also very precious, and she is not easy to be trampled on. Whether to go to the palace or to the court, my wife and son are accompanied by the princess, and the two of us will distinguish between them. β
Old Lady Liu grabbed Su's hand.
ββ¦β¦ Misunderstand...... Why is this ......" Su never thought that things would come to this point, almost the whole Liu family came, this posture, not only must be clearly reasoned with her. This matter has risen to the level of the Liu Mansion against the Wangfu, and even the Su family has been involved.
Su Qingnuan didn't dare to speak anymore, she couldn't wait to sneak out of the house without anyone paying attention at the moment. There were decent mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who were serving in the house, and they all hurried over to persuade them. It's just that no matter what everyone says, Mrs. Liu refuses to let go.
It was a lot of commotion, and there was a sudden chaotic sound of footsteps outside.
"The prince is back......"
"Ahh Su Shi was startled, and his face suddenly turned pale. Su Qingnuan's body also trembled. (To be continued......)
