Chapter 34: The Scapegoat
"Old lady, the family law is over."
Wang Si's words seemed to reassure everyone, and Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted to Shuxiang: "Okay, let's go, Shuxiang, carry the young master back." ”
Without waiting for Gu Lianzhao to oppose again, Shuxiang rushed over, and together with Mingxiang, he carried Gu Lianzhao on his back and strode out.
At this time, Shanlin's daughter-in-law couldn't stand it either, and saluted Mrs. Gu. Old Madam Gu nodded, knowing that she was ruthless this time, and she didn't stop them anymore, only letting Swift help her back to the house.
As soon as Shanlin's daughter-in-law waited for Mrs. Gu to agree, she immediately rushed up and held the crumbling Ranran: "Lady, are you okay?" ”
"Miao Ling, hold me, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand firm." Ran Ran stretched out her hand tremblingly, and shouted vaguely with blood in her mouth, but she didn't expect that it was Shanlin's daughter-in-law who came to help her: "Mother Xu......"
Ran Ran didn't have the strength to walk down by herself, and Shanlin's daughter-in-law immediately called a servant woman, carried her on her back, and didn't forget to order: "Miao Ling, go and get some ointment with the swift." ”
"Yes." Miao Ling got the order, and ran away without wiping away her tears.
When Miao Ling came back with the ointment, I heard that Yuyan went to ask for a doctor, and Ranran's leg injury was obviously not solved by ointment, and she was afraid that she would have a fever if she was sick and confused, so she went out to ask for a doctor.
When Shanlin's daughter-in-law heard this, she calmed down to comfort Ranran, seeing that her slender calves did not have a piece of good skin and flesh, and tears were about to fall. Carefully washed the blood with warm water, only to see the scars of the calf wound, she endured the discomfort and gave medicine to Ranran. As soon as the ointment touched the wound, it suddenly hurt so much that she gasped for air, and Shanlin's daughter-in-law finally couldn't help but cry: "If it hurts, you will cry!" ”
"No, it's okay, I can bear it." Ran Ran replied weakly, but tears fell silently, making Shanlin's daughter-in-law feel distressed, and when she wanted to say a second sentence, Ran Ran had already fainted in pain.
She didn't dare to touch her wounds again, so she had to work with Miao Ling to dry her sweat-soaked clothes and put on clean clothes. Only then did I find out that in addition to the leg injury, Ranran's knee had been pierced by porcelain shards several times, and a few pieces were embedded in the flesh, and her arms were also covered with nail marks that she had scratched to refresh herself.
After smashing for a while, she finally changed and washed, and the doctor also looked at the injury and prescribed medicine, and Ran Ran woke up leisurely.
Shanlin's daughter-in-law looked at the bloodless Ranran, and she was completely distressed, so she had to sigh and said: "Ranran lady, I remember that I told you, don't treat yourself as the young lady of the Gu family, you are just a child daughter-in-law." The young master is making trouble, you should stop it, how can you follow the coaxing. As a result, you also see, no matter how much the old lady protects you, it is not you who suffers if you make a mistake. ”
Ran Ran licked her dry lips, licked the wound, and laughed in pain, but when she smiled, her body trembled slightly, but it hurt the injury on her calf, which made her cry and laugh suddenly.
She whispered so softly that she almost couldn't hear it: "Mother Xu, I was wrong. ”
Shanlin's daughter-in-law wiped the sweat from her forehead with a wet handkerchief, but analyzed the situation to Ranran: "The old lady watched the young master protect you, so she beat you hard, in order to make the young master take care of it." With the young master's temperament, no matter how much you fight, it's good to forget the scar and forget the pain, so you can be wronged and suffer for the young master. ”
Because Gu Lianzhao protected her, she fought hard?
Although she had thought about this reason, it was very ridiculous and ironic when she heard it from other people's mouths.
However, this path was chosen by herself. At the beginning, she voluntarily came in to be a child daughter-in-law, although even if she didn't agree, the result might be the same, but since she had decided, she had no regrets about all the consequences. It's just that this time it was used to kill chickens and monkeys, and Ran Ran only felt funny and sad.
After laughing for a long time, she barely regained her voice: "I know." After saying that, she didn't have the strength or mood to talk to Shanlin's daughter-in-law anymore, so she silently closed her eyes and turned her face to the side.
Shanlin's daughter-in-law sighed, folded the quilt for Ranran, and instructed Miaoling a few words before turning around and leaving.
When she arrived at Mrs. Gu's house, Mrs. Gu had been waiting for the news of Shanlin's daughter-in-law, but this wait was only half a day, even the doctor left, and she didn't see Shanlin's daughter-in-law come back, and Mrs. Gu was also a little uneasy. But at this time, she couldn't pull down her neck to see her, so she had to let Swift go to the door again and again to watch when Shanlin's daughter-in-law came out of the Ranran house, so that she could report to her.
"How's it going?" Old Madam Gu did not hide her worry and nervousness in her voice.
Shanlin's daughter-in-law sighed, shook her head and said, "I shed two tears, and I didn't cry a single one." ”
Old Madam Gu frowned, a little surprised: "Didn't cry?" She was so sad that she cried when she heard it, but Ran Ran didn't cry, this is not quite right, don't be sick.
Shanlin's daughter-in-law expected that Mrs. Gu felt uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to tell her the actual situation, so she just brushed it off lightly: "Well, I saw that her lips were bitten, but she refused to cry." On the contrary, it was the young master, everyone knew how heavy those few hits were, and he screamed louder than anyone else. ”
"Oh, it's not like that." The daughter-in-law said that Mrs. Gu also knew that she was too ruthless to Ranran, but in the end, it was for Gu Lianzhao's sake, so she could only choose to be wronged by Ranran: "You should watch more these days, don't be disabled." Hey, I'm doing it for their good, too. ”
Shanlin's daughter-in-law hurriedly comforted: "The old lady's hard work, Ranran's lady knows it, so she didn't say a word." ”
"This stupid girl." Old Madam Gu smiled bitterly, without Ying Shanlin's daughter-in-law's words, she only sighed softly: "When she recovers from her injury, take her brother and sister over to see her." ”
Shanlin's daughter-in-law knew that this was a way to make up for the guilt in Mrs. Gu's heart, so she promised in a low voice.
But Mrs. Gu is not the only one who feels guilty in her heart, Gu Lianzhao can't wait for the person who was beaten to pieces. Although he didn't like Ranran, or cared, but seeing her innocently punished for herself, the inner condemnation was worse than hitting him.
Yao sent someone to call the doctor, but before Minglu went out of the gate, he saw Swift rushing over with the doctor.
"Don't you have to go to see Ranran Lady first?" She obviously heard that Ran Ran's injuries were worse than Gu Lianzhao's, why did she invite a doctor and come here.
Yuyan exhaled lightly, shook her head and said, "It was the old lady who asked the doctor to come here first, Miao Ling has already taken the ointment, and it's okay to be late." Originally, I still had a grudge against Ranran, but just now I saw her endure forty strokes of the board without saying a word, and for some reason, my heart also hurt.
She initially disliked Ran Ran because she was a girl with no foundation and no identity, and suddenly became the adopted daughter-in-law of the Gu family and the future young lady. She was thinking that her good sister was not worthy, obviously Gu Lianzhao liked Jingjing, but when she thought that Jingjing would come back to face this kind of thing, Swift couldn't wait to drive Ran Ran out.
However, these days of getting along, she felt that Ran Ran was not as annoying as she imagined, and even found that when Gu Lianzhao and Ran Ran were together, they were happier than standing with Jingjing. It was this discovery that made her prejudice against Ran Ran gradually let go of her was once again covered up by anger, but this time, it was not Ran Ran who was angry, but Gu Lianzhao.
Thinking that Jingjing hid in the quilt with her and said that Gu Lianzhao was kind to her, she always felt that Jingjing would be the young lady of the Gu family in the future, at least Gu Lianzhao's favorite concubine, but the current situation made her completely unaware of what would happen next.
