230 Something happened
Chen Houyun sent Luo Ying to Huang Youxiang's yard, but she did not serve her, but made up for the lack of a third-class maid-
The Huang family has a large population and several generations live together, and there are not many maids around Huang Youxiang who really belong to her name. Now that she is going to get married, of course the Huang family has to buy a few from outside to serve as her dowry.
A third-class little girl who is not particularly responsible for anything, sometimes wants to do something, but is more free.
But it is precisely because of this that she suddenly found the Chen family before the wedding, which shows that the Huang family, especially Huang Youxiang, must have something wrong.
Luo Ying looks no more than eleven or twelve years old, very young, delicate, well-behaved, and not eye-catching. She came in with the housekeeper's mother, her little face was solemn, making people think that she was a little nervous, and she couldn't see anything else from her face.
After the mother in charge left, Luo Yingcai knelt on the ground with a puff and kowtowed to Chen Houyun to ask for guilt: "The maid is useless, she has been entrusted by the son, and she failed to protect the girl, please punish the son!" ”
"Tell me first, what happened to her?" Chen Houyun had long lost the smile on his face, but his expression was still calm.
"The identity and origin of the maidservant, in the Huang family, except for the girl and Sister Luokui, no one else knows." Luo Ying said: "The day before yesterday, the young lady suddenly fell into a coma, because the wedding date was approaching, the Huang family immediately asked people to block the girl's yard, and newcomers like slaves and maids were not allowed to approach the girl's boudoir. So the slave didn't know what was going on. ”
"Yesterday, the maid finally met Sister Luokui." Luo Ying said in a low voice: "She told the maid that the tonic soup that the girl took daily was poisoned with chronic toxins. The toxin has been accumulating for nearly a month. Now it suddenly broke out, and although the girl's life was fine, her body was extremely bad. ”
With that, she raised her eyes to look at the three people in the seat.
Mrs. Chen frowned, looked very worried, and asked, "You mean, your girl has been poisoned and is now very sick?" What did the doctor say? ”
Since Mrs. Chen had spoken, neither Chen Houyun nor Shen Rouning had spoken again.
"The doctor said that the girl had been poisoned for a long time. It will take at least a month for the complete lifting. To recover basically. It will take at least three months. Now the girl can only lie in bed, most of the time she is unconscious, and less when she is awake......"
And five days later, it's time for the wedding.
"The girl's current condition is unknown to outsiders...... Sister Luokui said. The girl asked Childe. It's a family affair. Do you want to continue, postpone, or push off ......" Luo Ying lowered his head.
Chen Houyun's face was deep. asked, "What is the attitude of the Huang family?" Do they think they can hide it from me forever? ”
"The meaning of the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice is to tell the Chen Mansion calmly, and it is up to the Chen Mansion to decide. However, the old lady advocated taking this opportunity to take the initiative to confess to the Chen family and withdraw the family affair. Others are on their own side, and there is no consensus on the part of the people. Luo Ying said.
"Why would the old lady want to quit?" Chen Houyun's eyes were slightly cold.
Shen Rouning was also a little puzzled.
It stands to reason that the Huang family should be afraid that the Chen family will quit because of this. After all, although the poison in Huang Youxiang is not immediately fatal, it is still two to say whether it can really be completely raised in the future, and Huang Youxiang's current situation is probably that he can't even sit in a sedan chair, so how can he worship in this worship hall. If the Chen family quits because of this, the Huang family can't say that the Chen family is not. Then, what was damaged was the daughter of the Huang family and the reputation of the Huang family.
Especially Huang Youxiang herself.
What will be the fate of a girl who has been withdrawn from her relatives due to severe poison in her body? I'm afraid that it will be difficult to find a similar family affair, and I will reluctantly get married, and I don't know what kind of person I will be given to! The most likely result is that she is afraid of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha and will always be with her for a lifetime!
It is true that the Huang family frankly told her husband's family to take the initiative to withdraw from her relatives because of the girl's ill health, which is very open, and the reputation of the Huang family will not be damaged, but will increase...... But what about Huang Youxiang? She is the one who was sacrificed by her relatives! The old lady of the Huang family was not a patriarchal person who deliberately spoiled her granddaughter in the past, why did she make such a choice!
It's hard to believe that the old lady would be so "righteous"!
Luo Ying hesitated for a moment and replied, "The maid once secretly approached the old lady's house and eavesdropped for a while...... The Huang family has vaguely mentioned the words 'Bofu and Niangniang' several times...... The old lady said that she was reluctant to give up the girl, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she couldn't ruin the future of the entire Huang family just because the girl was alone...... If there are more, the servant will not know. ”
Bofu and Niangniang.
When Shen Rouning heard these words, Liao Manru's bright smile immediately appeared in her mind. Her face was slightly cold and she looked at Chen Houyun.
Chen Houyun sat there steadily, his cold and silent eyes, but it seemed as if a flame was burning. He didn't speak for a long time.
Mrs. Chen was also speechless for a long time.
It's too difficult right now.
The wedding date was five days later. Huang Youxiang fell, and the Chen family had no time to make any savings! If the marriage day does not change, not to mention whether Huang Youxiang's body can withstand it, even the Huang family itself is afraid that it is unwilling. And if it is a divorce...... Even if it's a complete admission of defeat. And dragged on......
Mrs. Chen couldn't make a decision for a while, and after a while, she said to Na Luoying: "Luoying, right, you go back to your girl first, take care of her, and make sure she doesn't have any accidents." Tomorrow, the morning after tomorrow at the latest, the eldest young master and I will go to the Huang Mansion in person. ”
Hearing this, Luo Ying looked up at Chen Houyun. Seeing that Chen Houyun was deep in thought and did not say anything, she bowed her head and retired.
Shen Rouning sat there and thought about it repeatedly, but she couldn't give any opinion. Mrs. Chen didn't say anything to Chen Houyun, but directly asked people to send a letter to Mr. Chen and the two masters, asking the men to return home immediately as soon as they got out. After that, Mrs. Chen sighed, did not disturb Chen Houyun, and left the flower hall to deal with trivial matters.
Shen Rouning has been accompanying Chen Houyun and sitting in the flower hall.
By the afternoon, the sun was obscured by dark clouds and the sky was overcast. After a while, a strong wind rose again. The wind whined through the dead branches outside. The temperature also dropped suddenly, and there was an immediate chill in the flower hall.
Bi Dong sent Shen Rouning a cloak. Hongying stopped her at the door, took the cloak, and sent Bi Dong back. When she turned back again, she lightly closed the windows in the flower hall.
There was no wind, and the temperature had recovered somewhat.
"I was wrong."
When Hongying stood at the door again, and only he and Shen Rouning were left in the flower hall, Chen Houyun looked at the gloomy and heavy sky outside and slowly opened his mouth. (To be continued......)
