Chapter 18: The Sinner
Life is as bumpy as it is exciting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I thought that the ups and downs of my life in the Southern Song Dynasty had created my wonderful life, but what I didn't expect was that crossing was only the entry point of this big life, and there might be ups and downs in the future.
It seems that my previous idea that I can have a wonderful life as long as I cross it, once and for all, is very undesirable, and a wonderful life must have a perfect end to be considered complete, and before this period is drawn, I have to cross every hurdle first.
But the ups and downs always come so suddenly, it's confusing.
I followed Steward Wang and them silently, thinking all the way but not figuring it out, what kind of thing is this?
I cooked lotus seed soup out of kindness, and so many people, including myself, have eaten it, so there will be no problem with lotus seed soup, but why did my mother-in-law eat it?
A plain gauze curtain hung down in front of the bed, and through the gauze curtain, it was vaguely visible that the mother-in-law was tossing and turning. A groan of pain came from within the curtain, causing my heart to tug uneasily.
On the edge of the bed, a man over half a hundred years old wearing a plain gauze crown and hat said, "Old lady, please stretch out your hand, and I will take your pulse." ”
The curtain of the bed was lifted slightly, and a pale, thin hand reached out, trembling in pain.
The doctor finished taking the pulse, pondered for a while, and asked, "What food did the old lady eat before she had abdominal pain?" ”
Aunt Qing, who was standing anxiously on the side, hurriedly brought out a blue and white porcelain bowl, which was the same one I used to hold the lotus seed soup for the old lady not long ago, and there were still some unused soup in it.
I nervously watched as the doctor put the bowl to his nose and sniffed it, then took out a silver needle and put it into the bowl.
When the silver needle was taken out of the bowl, everyone present gasped in astonishment, and the one that counted me was the most powerful of all.
The silver needle, which had been shiny and shiny, turned dark black.
Yueying grabbed my hand suddenly, and I said blankly, "Yueying, what's going on?" ”
"Yueying, Yueying doesn't know." She was surprised and confused.
The doctor picked up the pen, quickly wrote a list of medicines, and then handed it to Steward Wang and said, "Mung Bean Mansion should be prepared, the housekeeper will go and prepare it now, and let the next person go out to buy the other medicines, it must be fast." ”
"Okay." The housekeeper nodded hurriedly, and ran out of the door with the medicine list.
Inside the bed tent, the mother-in-law's moans were more miserable and gripping than the other. Aunt Qing walked to the doctor's side and said worriedly: "Doctor, my mother...... Is there any major problem with her for the time being? ”
The doctor said calmly: "Madame, don't worry, as long as you detoxify the old lady later, it will be fine." After a pause, he said, "It's just that how can there be rat poison in this lotus seed soup?" Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, this toxicity is not strong, otherwise the old lady would not only have abdominal pain now, but I am afraid that her life would be in danger." ”
Mei Xiang glanced at me coldly and said, "This lotus seed soup was brought by the young lady." ”
I was speechless, this lotus seed soup was indeed given to my mother-in-law, what else can I argue?
Aunt Qing glanced at her and said, "Everything will be said when Niang comes to her senses." ”
Hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and the butler burst in with a bowl of gray-green soup. The doctor beckoned, "Hurry up and give the old lady a suit." ”
My feet moved. Aunt Qing had already walked over to take the bowl of soup and said, "I'll come." He turned his head and said to Yingqiao: "Come and help the old lady." ”
I stood aside, wringing the handkerchief in my hand uneasily.
The doctor packed up the medical box and told the housekeeper: "Although the toxicity in the old lady's body has been resolved, the internal organs still need to be well regulated." The medicines I prescribed had to be taken by the old lady, but they couldn't be left behind. ”
The butler nodded, and then sent the doctor out.
After Aunt Qing fed the old lady the soup, she said to me: "Sister, please go back first, my mother has a sister here to take care of her." ”
I waved my hand hurriedly and said, "No, no, I'm still here waiting for my mother to wake up, and I won't be sure when I go back." ”
She pursed the corners of her mouth and said nothing.
Outside the window, the sun slowly slid into the sky, and near dusk, the sunlight shone in through the open window, cutting a golden silhouette on the pink and white wall.
In the evening, I sat on a wooden chair and did not take a step out of the door. Throughout the afternoon, the room was quiet except for the occasional slight moan or two from the mother-in-law. Aunt Qing didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say.
Suddenly there was a sound of rubbing between the clothes on the couch, accompanied by a slight sigh. Sitting on the edge of the collapse, Aunt Qing was pleasantly surprised: "Mother, are you awake, are you feeling better?" Do you still have pain in your abdomen? ”
I hurried over and looked anxiously and in surprise into the tent.
My mother-in-law's squinting eyes opened slightly, and her gaze was facing me, and a look of disgust appeared on her face.
I hung my head in amusement and moved away from the bed.
She suddenly struggled to sit up, but Aunt Qing hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mother, the doctor said that your body is not well, so lie down for the time being." ”
She said angrily: "Qing'er, don't stop me, I have to teach this poisonous woman a lesson today." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand from the quilt, pointed at me and scolded, "Kneel! ”
When I saw this battle, I was very scared, but I didn't know where the courage came from to make my legs straight.
She somehow touched something from the bed and threw it at me, right on my forehead, but luckily it wasn't a hard, blunt object. I blinked reflexively and said in a trembling voice, "Mother......"
"Shut up!" Then, she coughed a little weakly.
Aunt Qing hurriedly put her hand on her back, gave her a good breath, and persuaded: "Mother, you dissipate your anger and watch your body." ”
She paused and said to Mei Xiang, who was standing aside, "Invite Steward Wang." ”
Mei Xiang staggered out. The room was quiet for a while.
"Sinner Lady Zhu," she said awe-inspiringly.
I jerked my head up and looked at her for some reason.
"Murder of relatives and elders, now sent to the official office for handling."
I sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and Yue Ying knelt down and begged: "Old lady, young lady did not plot to kill you, please think twice......"
She turned her face away and said, "Shut up! Am I blind? ”
I said incoherently: "I did send it, but I cooked the lotus seed soup because I heard that my mother was on fire recently." We all ate the lotus seed soup and there was no problem. ”
At this time, Mei Xiang had returned to the room and said that the housekeeper would come over soon. The mother-in-law said to Aunt Qing, "Search her." ”
Aunt Qing is embarrassed: "Mother's ......"
The mother-in-law looked at Mei Xiang and said, "You go." Then he pointed to another maid and said, "Go and tell the steward king, first go to this poisonous woman's room and search for me, find out any harm for me, and then go back and forth to me." ”
