Chapter 16: Strange Thoughts
Qi Miao let go of the dagger.
She quickly pulled out a white jade porcelain vase.
Unscrewing the cork, she sprinkled the powder on Bai Lian's ten fingertips and the wounds on the soles of her feet.
"Ahh Bai Lian screamed bitterly.
The limbs are rickety due to convulsions.
The beads of sweat on his forehead poured out instantly, and he closed his eyes again with a pale face.
"Yo, Cousin Bai, you fainted again, then I'll give you a few more stitches." Qi Miao shouted exaggeratedly.
Bai Lian's body trembled, quickly opened her eyes, and said angrily, "I'm not dizzy." ”
His clothes were already soaked with sweat, as if he had just walked out of hell.
"It's good that you're not dizzy." Qi Miao smiled with snow-white teeth.
"You...... What are you doing here? Yao asked, crying.
The old lady really wants to kill someone, what should I do?
Yao complained in his heart.
"Stop the bleeding!" Qi Miao replied lightly.
Yao looked at it fixedly.
The blood in the heart of Bai Lian's foot really coagulated quickly.
"But why does Lian'er hurt like this?" Yao's tone softened slightly.
"The wound will hurt if it is stained with water, not to mention that it is still a good medicine to stop bleeding, of course it hurts." Qi Miao replied.
The medicine is indeed a hemostatic drug, but she added two special effects of 'medicine'.
Paprika and salt.
These are specially made for the White Lotus.
"Auntie, you and Cousin Bai played a good show, and you deceived everyone, which is really admirable.
You and Cousin Bai can consider joining the Xiangyun Club, and they will definitely become popular all over the capital and become famous. Qi Miao smiled and praised.
Xiangyun Society is the most famous opera troupe in Beijing.
Being ridiculed is a joke, Yao hates it very much, but he has no words to refute it.
Ma Shi pointed at Yao's forehead with his hand and scolded, "Yuqin, Yuqin, how can you collude with Lian'er to deceive me?"
I was worried about Lian'er's injuries all day, and I couldn't sleep well, and I almost didn't have a problem.
Don't bother me if there is anything in the future, you can do it yourself. ”
After scolding Yao, she threw up her sleeves and wanted to leave.
Shen Shi blocked her, "Mother, Miao'er was framed, is it just that?" ”
"I don't care about this, you can do it, third." With a wave of his hand, Ma quickly walked out of the house.
If the white lotus is not punished, it will definitely be difficult to dispel the evil anger in Shen's heart.
But let her punish Bai Lian for Qi Miao, she was really unwilling and unwilling.
So she left this matter to Qi Zhengzhi to deal with, and she couldn't see or worry about what the result was.
Seeing this, the Liu family and the others smiled awkwardly at the Shen family, and also hurriedly left.
Qi Zhengning patted Qi Zhengzhi's shoulder, and said, "Third child, Miao'er has suffered a lot of grievances these days, and now that the truth has come out, you have to make up for Miao'er." ”
"Thank you, big brother, for speaking up." Shen thanked Qi Zhengning gratefully.
Not only for his current statement, but also for his previous refutation of Ma's.
"Why should the family say thanks, I'm just telling the truth." Qi Zhengning hurriedly waved his hand.
"Miao'er is doing well." He praised Qi Miao again, and then left.
Qi Zhengning didn't like Yao's mother and daughter very much.
After this incident, I disliked them even more.
And Qi Miao's performance today amazed him.
The room was very empty and quiet, only Qi Miao's family of three and Yao's mother and daughter were left.
"Someone!" Shen shouted loudly.
"What does Madame command?" Mother Yun came in at the call.
"Mother Yun, sell the two evil maids." Shen pointed to the two of them and commanded.
"Yes." Mother Yun nodded and called someone in.
Yao immediately stopped, "You can't sell them. ”
Shen sneered, "All these years they have eaten and used are mine, I have the final say on what to do with them, Mother Yun, take them down." ”
Even the food and clothing of Yao's mother and daughter were given by the Shen family, not to mention other slaves.
Mother Yun ordered a few rough mothers-in-law to drag the two of them down.
"Miss, help." The two shouted weakly.
The pain of a broken arm had long drained their strength.
Bai Lian watched them being dragged away, and there was endless hatred in her beautiful eyes.
At the moment, she can't protect herself, and how can she have the ability to save others.
"Miao'er, let's go." Shen said softly to Qi Miao.
As for how to deal with White Lotus, she doesn't care for the time being, and it depends on what Zhengzhi does.
"Okay." Qi Miao affectionately took her mother's arm.
The mother and daughter went out of the house.
Qi Zhengzhi didn't look at Bai Lian's mother and daughter, and walked out.
"Third uncle...... Bai Lian held her body and called weakly.
In order to survive better in the Anning Hou Mansion, it is not enough to have Ma's love, she is at this age, who knows how many years she can live.
Besides, no one knows how sincere Ma is to their mother and daughter.
Only Qi Zhengzhi has been sincerely good to them for eight years.
He is extremely talented, and he is highly valued by the emperor, and it is very likely that he will enter the cabinet in the future.
With his pampering and care, don't worry about the future, like the poetry meeting a few days ago, if there was no point and face from him, how could she easily win the championship.
It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.
Qi Zhengzhi can't give up this big tree.
Bai Lian's voice was extremely soft, and her tone was weak, like a tame and well-behaved kitten who couldn't find her way home, hesitant and helpless.
Qi Zhengzhi's hard heart began to soften.
He stopped, and gently exhaled the cloudy breath in his chest.
He looked back at Bai Lian and said, "Lian'er, if you have something to say later, you can recuperate first." ”
"Nope! Uncle, there are some things I must say now, or I will be disturbed. Bai Lian's beautiful face was filled with tears, and she shook her head stubbornly.
"Mother, you help me up, I want to kneel down and kowtow to my uncle and ask for guilt." Bai Lian said to Yao.
She struggled to stay.
I can't move my hands, and I can't stand with my feet hurting.
"Lian'er, don't move, just sit there and say something if you have something to say, I'll just listen." Qi Zheng hurriedly strode forward to stop it.
For eight years, he had treated her as his own daughter.
Even if she made a mistake, she was reluctant to see her suffer.
"Thank you, uncle, for making it happen." Bai Lian nodded gratefully.
She said, "Uncle, I don't care if others misunderstand me, but I can't let my uncle think the same way." What I want to clarify with you is that I didn't really faint, but the fifth cousin really pushed me down, and Lian'er didn't dare to lie to you.
You have also seen the scene just now, if I don't say that, my fifth cousin's knife will be cut off, I am afraid, I have not repaid your kindness to your uncle, I don't want to die.
Also, if I say that, it will also be good for my fifth cousin's reputation, and my aunt and grandmother will no longer blame her, uncle, you have always regarded me as your own, and it doesn't matter if I am wronged by this for my fifth cousin.
I pretended to be faint just to scare my fifth cousin, hoping that she would have a domineering and impulsive temper, who knew that she would treat me so hard......"
Yao sobbed, "Lian'er, my hard-working daughter, now we are under the fence, inferior to others, so we are bullied like this."
If your father were still alive, where would you suffer these grievances? Your father will definitely cry when he sees you like this under the Nine Springs, he loves you the most.
Mother is useless and can't take care of you. ”
Qi Zhengzhi's face was hot, as if he had been slapped a few times by Yao.
At the beginning, he made a promise in front of the spirit of the white father that he would definitely take care of the white lotus and not let her be wronged at all.
But now she looks scarred......
Not to mention punishment, he only thought about how to make up for her and save his dishonesty.
"Lian'er, don't worry, your uncle, you are a person, my uncle knows it, and he will not change his opinion of you because of a few words or one thing. You can recuperate with peace of mind, don't think nonsense, and when your injury is healed, your uncle will take you to the autumn outing. Qi Zhengzhi comforted.
The tone is gentle and kind.
"Well, thank you uncle for your trust." Bai Lian nodded obediently, secretly proud in her heart.
Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned his father, he felt guilty.
Qi Zhengzhi hesitated slightly, but still said, "Lian'er, if you have any ideas next time, just tell me, don't hide it from me."
You should know that my uncle hates being deceived the most. ”
"Lian'er has written it down, and there will be no next time." Bai Lian's face was slightly pale.
Qi Zhengzhi said a few more words to her before leaving.
Seeing his back disappear, the Yao family sighed faintly, "Your uncle believes you now, and after he goes back, he is instigated by the Shen family, and he will definitely not believe you completely." ”
"Mother, haven't you ever thought of making your uncle trust us completely?" Bai Lian's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was a little erratic.
"It's easier said than done to trust completely." Yao shook his head.
"No, it's easy." Bai Lian shook her head.
Yao looked at her with a puzzled look on his face, "Lian'er, what do you mean?" ”
Bai Lian looked at her and said seriously word by word, "Mother replaces the Shen family." ”
"Lian'er, this kind of talk is not good nonsense, if it is listened to, it will be terrible." Yao Shi hurriedly reached out to cover Bai Lian's mouth.
But his cheeks were inexplicably hot.
There are some thoughts, she has not moved.
