Chapter 198: Nightmare
“…… Wan Niang, I know you are wronged. However, for this time, we can only endure for the time being. He Shi's eyes were deep and calm, but the words that came out of his mouth revealed a chilling coolness: "After a few months, I will send a few experienced stable women over." If Jing Niang gave birth to a daughter, it would be fine, if she gave birth to a baby boy, then ......"
In the last few words, He's voice was extremely low, but Cui Wan's face turned pale at that time, and she was speechless in shock.
He Shi seemed to know what she was thinking, and smiled quietly, but there was a trace of ruthlessness in his smile: "Don't worry, as long as the arrangements are made properly, no one will be suspicious." It is a matter of life and death for a woman to give birth to a child, and there are many women who die of blood collapse after childbirth. ”
She said it as if nothing happened, but Cui Wan's heart sank to the bottom, cold and dark.
From that day on, she never fell asleep soundly. The words He said kept circling in her mind, lingering. Every day when she sees Cui Jing, she has an inexplicable feeling of weakness and panic.
But in this panic, there seemed to be a weak voice bewitching her: Just do what He wants, as long as you are careful not to show your feet, you can solve the troubles......
No, how could she think that! That's a living human life! It's her cousin who's watched her grow up since she was a child. How could she do such a thing for her own selfishness!
She was tormented by this contradictory and complicated mood, and she was better during the day, but at night, she couldn't sleep all night. Occasionally falling asleep, I always have the same nightmare. I dreamed that Cui Jing was lying in a pool of blood with a white face, and shouted miserably: "Cousin, how can you ...... me like this"
Thinking of the nightmare that had haunted her for many days, Cui Wan's heart trembled fiercely, and her breathing was a little unsteady.
Ye Yuanwei sensitively noticed her emotional fluctuations, and looked down at Cui Wan in his arms: "Haven't you slept yet?" What are you thinking? ”
Cui Wan steadied herself and squeezed out a smile. Whispered, "It's nothing, I'll just sleep." As he spoke, he fell softly in Ye Yuanwei's arms, his eyes closed. After a while, he seemed to fall asleep. Breathing is thin and steady.
When Ye Yuanwei saw that she was asleep, he also relaxed, and fell into a deep sleep in less than a moment.
After a long time, Cui Wan quietly opened her eyes.
The candlesticks in the house had long since been blown out. Outside the window, the white and cold moonlight quietly fell through the window lattice. By the moonlight, Cui Wan quietly stared at Ye Yuanwei's sleeping face, and felt a sour and painful feeling in her heart.
This night, Cui Wan almost stayed awake all night. I didn't close my eyes until it was slightly bright. But as soon as I fell asleep. That nightmare haunted her again......
"Give back my child!" Cui Jing screamed with a pale face, her eyes full of hatred: "Cui Wan, you femme fatale." You can't give birth to a son yourself. Come and rob my son. You give me back my child......"
Cui Wan sweated profusely: "Xianggong, help me!" ”
But at this time, on the other side of the bed, Ye Yuanwei was gone.
Cui Wan woke up in shock, sat up straight, and looked at the empty bed in a daze. What about Ye Yuanwei, where did he go?
Chaoyun, the big girl on night duty outside the door, heard the subtle movement in the house and immediately pushed the door and walked in. Seeing Cui Wan sitting on the bed in a daze. Hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The young grandmother is awake, the slave maid will wait for you to change your clothes!" ”
Cui Wan asked as if talking to herself, "What about the Xianggong?" ”
Chaoyun replied with a smile: "The young master just got up not long ago and went to Aunt Cui's house. "Cui Jing is not squeamish after she is pregnant, but she vomits for a while when she gets up every day. Every day, the young master will accompany Aunt Cui at this time.
When Cui Wan heard the expected answer, her face became more and more pale, and her body shook slightly. Chaoyun was a little uneasy, and hurriedly added: "The young master specially told the slave and maid not to disturb the young grandmother's rest, so the slave didn't dare to tell the young grandmother to get up just now......
"You go out first!" Cui Wan lowered her eyelids and commanded lightly.
Chaoyun was stunned for a moment, wanting to persuade a few words, but he didn't dare to say more, so he had to retreat.
The door was gently slammed shut, and she was the only one left in the large room. In the past two months, she has gradually become accustomed to such bleakness, but this time, her heart is extremely painful. It seems to be cut back and forth by a blunt knife......
Cui Wan buried her head in her knees, wrapped her hands around herself, and tried her best to suppress the sobbing sound came out muffledly.
On this day, Cui Wan did not go to Luomei Courtyard to ask for peace, but only sent Chaoyun to accompany Cui Jing.
Seeing that Cui Wan didn't show up, Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, and asked reflexively: "Chaoyun, what's wrong with the young grandmother?" Are you feeling unwell? "Cui Wan has been in the door for a few years, and it has never been too late to settle the province in the morning and dusk.
Chaoyun hurriedly responded: "Mrs. Hui, the young grandmother has been a little cold in the past few days, and she is lazy and has no energy. So I specially ordered the slave and maid to say goodbye, and I won't come to say hello today. ”
Cui Wan told her to say this through the door. Therefore, Chaoyun actually didn't know if Cui Wan was really sick. However, since the master has so ordered, the maid can only do it.
Zheng snorted: "Have you asked for a doctor?" ”
Chaoyun followed Cui Wan's instructions and said, "Young grandma has already sent someone to get the medicine, please don't worry about it." ”
Zheng didn't doubt him, so he responded casually, and then called Cui Jing to step forward and ask, "How is your appetite lately?" If there's anything you want to eat, just explain it and let the kitchen do it. ”
Cui Jing coped with the past tamely. She clearly understood in her heart that the Zheng family now attaches so much importance to her because of the child in her belly. Because of this, she can't become frivolous just because she is pregnant. On the contrary, we should be more cautious and cautious than before......
Ye Qingning was not interested in such a conversation, and looked away after listening to two sentences. Seeing Ye Qinglan frowning, Ye Qingning couldn't help but smile and quip: "Are you worried about your sister-in-law?" ”
Ye Qinglan nodded. Cui Wan has been preoccupied and often has insomnia recently. I didn't come to say hello again for no reason, and she felt that something was wrong no matter how she thought about it.
Ye Qingning smiled disapprenously: "You are really unfounded. The sister-in-law just caught a cold, so it would be fine to drink two pairs of medicines and rest for two days. What is there to worry about. ”
Ye Qinglan smiled casually, her eyes flashing slightly.
This cold or something, as soon as you hear it, you know it's an excuse. Cui Wan is indeed sick, but the root of this illness is not in her body, but in her heart. Heart disease also needs heart medicine, if it is left unchecked, it will only become more and more severe. Psychology is dark, distorted and paranoid, and most of them come from this. Therefore, it must not be taken lightly.
I must find an opportunity to meet Cui Wan alone today.
Ye Qinglan thought secretly, and subconsciously glanced at Ye Qingning. You have to think of ways to avoid Ye Qingning......
Coincidentally, today happens to be the day when Zeng Niangzi came to teach the piano. Ye Qingning had lunch, and then sent Zhixia to Hefeng Courtyard to invite Ye Qinglan to Huancui Pavilion.
Ye Qinglan had already thought of an excuse, and said to Zhixia with a smile: "I haven't practiced the last song yet, so I really don't have the face to see Master Zeng." You talk to the sixth sister and ask her to help me and my husband take a leave, and say that I am not feeling well and will not go. ”
Zhixia didn't doubt that there was him, and he only felt funny when he heard it, so he answered and left.
Rui Xue glanced at Ye Qinglan in surprise. Miss is lying at all, and she has obviously practiced that song very well in the past two days......
"Ruixue, come with me to Qinfang Garden." Ye Qinglan gave a casual order and walked out.
Rui Xue was stunned again, but she didn't dare to ask more, so she hurriedly followed.
Huancui Pavilion and Qinfang Garden are very close, and if you want to go to Qinfang Garden, you have to go through Huancui Pavilion. Ye Qinglan deliberately went around and avoided Huancui Pavilion. Rui Xue followed behind Ye Qinglan and couldn't help muttering: "Miss, if you want to go to Qinfangyuan, just walk over there." "What are you doing in such a big circle.
Ye Qinglan smiled, but did not explain. Rui Xue saw that she refused to say it clearly, so she stopped her mouth in amusement.
The master and servant didn't say anything all the way, and soon arrived at Qinfang Garden.
It was the height of summer, and it was noon, so it was hot. Ye Qinglan had walked such a long way, and fine beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead. The fair-skinned face was flushed.
The maid guarding the door saw that she was coming, so she hurriedly opened the door and ran to spread the word.
After waiting for a while, what came was "Miss Ten, the young grandmother said that she was not feeling well today, and asked Miss Ten to come back another day." Although the words were tactful, the meaning was clear. Cui Wan doesn't want to see anyone at this time!
Cui Wan's reaction was expected, Ye Qinglan naturally wouldn't just leave, and said with a faint smile: "Sister-in-law is unwell, I just went to accompany her." So saying, he went inside.
The little maid was sweating in a hurry, but she didn't dare to stop her, and watched Ye Qinglan walk under the cloister and enter the inner room again.
Ye Qinglan walked into the inner room unhurriedly. She has been in and out of Qinfang Garden many times, and she is very familiar with this place. quickly walked outside Cui Wan's dormitory, and was about to step forward and knock on the door, Chao Yun hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Miss Ten, why are you here?" Grandma is resting in the house......"
The implication is very clear, the young grandmother doesn't want to see anyone, so don't bother.
Ye Qinglan didn't hear the meaning of Chaoyun's words, and said with a smile: "It's not good to be sick and stuffy in the house all the time." I talk to my sister-in-law to relieve my boredom, maybe my sister-in-law's illness will get better soon! With that, he walked past Chaoyun.
……
Chaoyun was simply dumbfounded. She has followed her master Cui Wan to Changyuan Bofu for a few years, and she has never seen such a thick-skinned master. For a while, I didn't know whether I should step forward to stop Ye Qinglan.
In such a stunned manner, Ye Qinglan had already walked to the door, knocked lightly, and the clear voice passed through the thick door panel to the ears of the young woman in the room.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here, open the door quickly."
After a while, I heard a muffled voice answer: "Tenth sister, I ...... today." It's not very comfortable, can you come back another day? ”
