Chapter 4: Knock the door open
After Qiu'er's cautious salute was heard outside, there was a dissatisfied, majestic, cold, and arrogant inquiry: "Why hasn't the third lady gotten up yet?" ”
The air outside seemed to be condensed by this sound, and because of the original comfortable memory, Shu Xin heard that this was the voice of Gu Peipei, the eldest lady of the Shu family.
Shu Xin, who was originally sitting at the head of the bed, squinted slightly, and according to the original comfortable memory, he touched under the pillow and took something to look at it in his hand, and slowly lay down, shrunk into the half-old quilt, and gently closed his eyes.
After a moment of silence outside the door, a majestic and cold voice snorted even more dissatisfied: "What time is it and you can't get up?" Instead, he commanded in a deep voice: "Go, push the door open." ”
Shu Xin silently paid attention to the movement outside the door, and listened to a person who followed the order to push the door, but the door that was on the reverse bolt failed to push it open, and the eldest lady's already cold voice became even colder, with a trace of anger ordered people to slam the door open.
With a loud "bang", the door was forcibly slammed open from the outside, and Shu Xin lay quietly on the bed as if he didn't notice it at all, and his breathing slowly slowed down and lightened.
Against the light, the eldest lady stood at the door, like a life-seeking Yama, exuding a cold and cold black air, after faintly scanning the situation in the room, the eyes of the yin owl were locked on the bed, and her slightly narrowed eyes shot out a cruel cold light, and she scolded in her heart: This little is really getting bolder, if it weren't for the fact that she would marry Master Wang in two days, she must be beaten and given a lesson to her.
The eldest lady tried to suppress the anger in her heart, and slowly walked into the room with a dignified posture, and the golden jade beads inserted in the bun swayed step by step, with a deliberate dignity.
The eldest lady was followed by two mothers and four maids, Qiu'er stood by the door with her head bowed and cowardly, anxious, worried and scared, but there was nothing she could do, she could only watch the eldest lady lead people into the comfortable room.
A group of people entered the comfortable room, the eldest lady stopped five steps away from the bed, staring at the comfortable eyes lying straight on the bed through the bed curtain became more and more cold, and the mother Wang behind the eldest lady looked at the eldest lady's face and immediately stepped forward, hung the tulle bed curtain to both sides, and stood on the side of the bed condescendingly and drank comfortably: "Third Miss, what time are you still sleeping?" When the eldest lady comes, you dare not stand up to greet her? How can you be so unruly. ”
Usually none of the people of the Shu family take Yuan Shuxin, the third lady of the Shu family, in their eyes, especially the maid mother next to the eldest lady, Yuan Shuxin was beaten and scolded by them a lot, especially the Wang mother who is talking now.
Shu Xin smiled coldly in his heart, and slowly opened his eyes with great difficulty, his eyes were full of mist when he was originally cowardly like a fawn, and when he was slightly sober and saw Mother Wang beside the bed, his body trembled involuntarily, and his pale face was full of horror, Mother Wang saw that Shu Xin was very proud of his reaction now, and said coldly: "Third Miss, Madam is here, you are still in bed, this is simply rude, don't hurry up." ”
"Yes! Three Misses. Mother Zhao, who was beside the eldest lady, couldn't help but open her mouth when she saw that Mother Wang was out of the way: "Third Miss, you will marry into the Wang family in two days, and the lady of our own family will not care too much about anything, but if you go to someone else's house, you are still like this, I am afraid it is extremely inappropriate." At that time, others still thought that our Shu family had no rules, and Miss Shu did not know etiquette, which not only affected the reputation of the Shu family but also other young ladies of the Shu family. ”
The eldest lady's face changed, and she snorted heavily.
Shu Xin's eyes were full of panic under the "training" of the two mothers, and he hurriedly supported his body and wanted to get up, but his body was just halfway up but he fell back to the bed weakly, and there was a loud "bang", which shows how much force Shu Xin used to get up.
Everyone was startled by this sound, and looked at Shu Xin who was motionless on the bed, only to see Shu Xin's eyes widen slightly, as if he couldn't hold his breath and couldn't come back, and finally gasped hard after this breath, his big eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and he looked very pitiful.
"Huhuhuhu......" After comforting and gasping hard, he swallowed his saliva hard, his breathing became difficult and slow with trembling, and every time he inhaled became long, he exhaled but he was short, looking weak with less air in and more out of breath.
Finally breathed a little slowly, Shu Xin struggled to get up but failed again and again, and finally had to bite his lower lip and look at the eldest lady timidly and scared, with tears in his eyes, with cowardice, and apologized to the eldest lady in a weak voice: "I'm sorry, mother, my mother has always taught Xin'er well, Xin'er is not rude, but she is very sick, weak, and she really can't get up to greet her. ”
After Shu Xin finished speaking, he tried to struggle twice, but he was really unable to get up, and it seemed that he was really sick.
Hearing Shu Xin's words, looking at Shu Xin's sick appearance, everyone in the room was stunned, the cowardly girl who only knew fear and panic in the past and cried silently would say such a technical word of plea? As soon as these words came out, the eldest lady was no longer able to blame and feel comfortable.
Can't do anything to Shu Xin, the eldest lady originally wanted to teach Shu Xin a hard lesson in words, but Shu Xin actually wore two high hats to herself, the eldest lady was very disgusted with Shu Xin, but when she thought of the benefits that Shu Xin could bring to herself, she also suppressed the disgust in her heart, smiled peacefully, frowned slightly, stepped forward and sat on the side of Shu Xin's bed pretending to be concerned and asked gently: "Xin'er's illness is better?" ”
Seeing that the eldest lady cared about herself, Shu Xin nodded shyly and shyly with a flattered look, struggling to sit up but couldn't, the eldest lady frowned slightly, and the two maids stepped forward with great insight when they saw this, one of them helped Shu Xin up, and the other took a pillow and thoughtfully cushioned it behind Shu Xin, and helped Shu Xin to sit on the head of the bed.
"Thank you, mother...... cough cough cough cough ...... "After sitting comfortably, he glanced at the eldest lady shyly and thanked him, but he coughed before he finished speaking, because he coughed suddenly, Shu Xinlai was not in a hurry to take a handkerchief and cover his mouth with his hand, and the more he coughed, the more he coughed, the more he seemed to cough out his lungs.
The eldest lady looked at Shu Xin, who was coughing badly, and couldn't help but wring her eyebrows, just when Shu Xin coughed more and more, and the eldest lady's brows tightened more and more, Shu Xin coughed hard, and the cough finally stopped, and Shu Xin seemed to have exhausted his already little strength because of coughing, tried to suppress the rapid wheezing, and slowly put down the right hand covering his mouth.
"Ho!"
As Shu Xin's right hand was put down, the eldest lady gasped.
