Chapter 021: Decision (1st Update)
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent for a moment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Perhaps because of the previous surprise, everyone's faces have not changed much, but the hearts have already set off turbulent waves.
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Chu instructed Wang to send Dr. Jiang away, and then returned to Songtao Courtyard without saying a word.
Su Shi, accompanied by Chu Yuning, looked blank and returned to Xiufeng Courtyard with a stunned expression.
On the way, she involuntarily reached out and stroked her lower abdomen.
How so?
I obviously drank three pairs of fetal pills!
How can there still be children?
Su Shi only felt that the whole world collapsed with the arrival of this child, this is because she can't even look at the heavens, she is still living and gaining her husband's understanding, so give her a head-on blow?
Forced to enter Xiufeng Courtyard, Su Shi tightly held the arm of Mama Liu, who greeted the mother and daughter, and said to her in a loud voice: "Nurse, you look at the medicine I drank, don't you?" Why do I still have children? ”
The words fell, tears dripped down with his eyes, and Su Shi let go of a dazed child, holding Mama Liu's arm tightly, as if grasping the last straw to save her life.
This was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Mama Liu was stunned for a while before she realized what Su Shi said.
"Mother, it's not your fault." Chu Yuning was next to Su Shi and silently wrapped around her waist.
"You did drink that medicine, and you added arsenic to it, and you told Mama Liu to vomit out the medicine you drank, and went to Kang'an Hou Mansion with your father to ask Dr. Xue to detoxify you."
After careful investigation, the fault of this matter lies with Mrs. Chu.
If she hadn't attacked each other with words, gave Su a packet of arsenic, and let her end herself, there would have been no future.
"This kid can't have it! Be sure to hit it down! "The matter has come to this, and the only way to face it is to face it.
Su Shi wiped his tears, and his expression returned to firmness.
"Madam, come with the old slave."
After all, the courtyard was not a place to talk, and Mama Liu helped Su into the hall.
"This kid is really going to be beaten, but not now." Mama Liu looked serious, "If someone moves some hands and feet into that fetal pill, it will be difficult to have children in the future, and at worst, their lives will not be guaranteed." ”
"It makes no difference whether I have children now or not." Su Shi smiled miserably.
"Mother! You promised me that I would never see you again! Chu Yuning hurriedly intercepted the second half of Su's words.
She also felt that now was not the best time to have an abortion.
At the very least, we should wait for my father to come back and inquire about his attitude before making plans.
"Well, for you, my mother will live well." Su Shi touched Chu Yuning's face.
The mother and daughter had lunch in silence.
With a heavy heart, waiting until the evening evening, Chu Kuo finally returned home.
Just stepped into the second door, and there was already a girl here, "Go back to the master, the old lady is invited." ”
At the same time, Old Lady Chu also invited Su and Chu Yuning to Songtao Courtyard.
The three of them stepped into the Shoto Temple.
Old Mrs. Chu sat in the first place, and when she saw that everyone was there, she raised her eyes, "Sit." ”
Chu Kuo and Su Shi glanced at each other silently, and sat down left and right without thinking.
Chu Yuning sat next to Su Shi on the small pestle on the side.
Old Lady Chu sat upright and instructed Mama Dong, "Bring things up." ”
Mama Dong bowed down to take the order, and after a while, she walked in with a tray, and on top of the tray, there was a white porcelain bottle.
"Recently, Chu Mansion has been on the cusp of the storm, and the people in the clan have lowered their heads and shrunk their heads when they go out, for fear of making any more jokes and being ridiculed."
Old Lady Chu stood up, walked over, took the white porcelain bottle in her hand, pulled out the stopper, and a bitter and unpleasant smell rushed straight to her ears and nose.
She waved her hand, coughed lowly, and walked slowly towards Chu Kuo, "People live with a face, and trees live with a skin." I'm old, but I still want this old face. The people of the clan want it too. There must be an end to this matter today. Or, let your daughter-in-law drink this medicine, and we declare to the public that she is unbearable and committed suicide. Either let me, an old woman, drink it, and die a hundred, no matter how much you toss, no matter how much you trample on the face of Chu Mansion under your feet, I can't care about it. ”
Old Lady Chu stood still in front of Chu Kuo and stretched out the porcelain vase in front of him.
Chu Kuo's face was bitter, he reached out to take the porcelain bottle, and was about to raise his head to drink it all, when he was suddenly grabbed by Mrs. Chu's wrist.
"Ahh Seeing this scene, Su Shi exclaimed and got up with Chu Yuning.
"Smack!" Old Lady Chu raised her hand and threw it at Chu Kuo's face, "Smack!" Syllable! After three slaps in a row, he stopped with his chest heaving.
"How did I give birth to such a guts son as you!" Mrs. Chu snatched the porcelain bottle, "snapped", and fell to the ground.
"Your father spent his whole life cultivating you, and how much money and connections did the people of the clan spend on your position as the imperial historian? Is this how you repay the support of your father and people under the Nine Springs? For the sake of a woman, you don't even want your own life? Who are you worthy of?! ”
Old Lady Chu let go of the hand holding Chu Kuo's wrist, turned around, and looked at the Su clan with a cold gaze, "Since my son is unwilling to make a choice, we will leave this matter to the Chu clan and the Su clan to solve." ”
After Mrs. Chu finished speaking, she closed her eyes and said to Mama Dong, "Invite people in." ”
When Chu Yuning heard this, he let go of his hand with Su Shi, and walked out.
"Take care of the big girl!" Old Lady Chu swept her eyes and shouted to the servant woman in the house.
Chu Yu stood on the ground with his eyes down, his palms clenched into fists.
It seems that the incident in the last Zhuangzi made my grandmother very wary of her.
She glanced at Su Shi with some uneasiness, her eyes full of worry.
Su Shi smiled lightly at her, she had expected that there would be such a day, nearly twenty days later than their mother and daughter expected, and they should feel content.
There was a brief silence in the room.
Chu Kuo stood on the ground as if he had lost his soul.
How can there be a trace of standing in the year, high-spirited appearance?
Chu Yuning looked at such a father, and her heart hurt.
However, thinking of her mother's current situation, she had to harden her heart.
"Old lady! Someone has been invited. After a cup of tea, Mama Dong went into the house to return.
"Hmm." Old Lady Chu answered, turned around and glanced at Chu Kuo, and went out to greet her.
"Husband, go ahead." Su Shi looked at Chu Kuo and said in a low voice.
"Guan Niang." Chu Kuo's heart was full of bitterness, and the pain in his eyes was unobstructed.
Su Shi showed a shallow smile and said softly, "Go ahead." You don't blame me. "Don't blame me for licking my face and surviving in the world.
"Guan Niang, I ......"
"Old sister-in-law! It's been a long time, don't come unharmed! Before Chu Kuo finished speaking, he was interrupted by a hearty voice.
As soon as Mrs. Chu arrived at the door of the house, she bumped into the visitor.
"Second brother, how difficult it is to see, your body is still so tough." Old Lady Chu said to the first old man with goosebumps but good spirits.
This person is the current patriarch of the Chu clan, the second master of Chu in his prime.
The second old lady was followed by his eldest son, Lord Chu, as well as Mrs. Chu and other clansmen who were in charge of the middle feed of the clan.
And standing side by side with the second old lady of Chu was the Mu family, followed by Su Yueming and Su Chenniang.
After a brief greeting between a few people, Mrs. Chu asked the girl to bring a stool and arranged for everyone to sit down one by one.
"There is such a shameful thing in the house, and today I will invite everyone to invite you, and I also ask you to make a decision." Old Lady Chu said to everyone with a sad expression.
