Chapter 002: Just Fell
Jiang Suxue's sedan chair quickly turned around and went back to the house, and learned that the third lady was thrown on the mountain road, and the Jiang mansion suddenly became a pot of porridge.
The attendants, the sedan chair man, and the maid Qianrou who went with them were all frightened, and knelt outside the Rongde Hall of the Second Master Jiang and trembled.
After the second master Jiang went to see Jiang Suxue, his face became even more ugly, and he hurriedly returned to Rongde Hall, glanced sideways at the subordinates kneeling outside, and was even more annoyed, and roared in a low voice: "Let's talk about it first!" ”
As soon as he heard that Su Xue had an accident, he hurriedly returned from the office, and just went to see it, and the doctor said that Su Xue had many injuries on her body, especially a deep red strangulation mark on her neck. He asked Su Xue, but Su Xue didn't answer, looking stunned, as if she was scared stupid.
Master Jiang Er knew very well that this qiē could never be as simple as slipping and falling on the road.
Qianrou entered the room and knelt down, looking at the face of the second master, she knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she trembled and explained the facts.
"Second master, in fact, the third lady...... It's the gangsters who have been encountered. ”
Second Master Jiang's eyes froze, and Qianrou became even more timid.
Qianrou trembled and kowtowed twice before daring to continue: "As soon as I went out today, the sky was overcast, and it didn't take long for a while to start raining. The road in the mountains was slippery, and the sedan chair driver did not stabilize the sedan chair...... But it's not because of this, Miss! After the sedan chair was stuck in the mud, somehow, more than a dozen people in black suddenly rushed out, stepped forward and dragged the young lady down the mountain. They have a lot of people, and they can knock down the little ones in three or two clicks! When she came to her senses, the young lady had been taken away by them...... The little ones followed suit, but it was ......."
"But what!" Second Master Jiang was even more angry, thinking back to the expression he saw Su Xue just now, he was afraid that something would happen.
Qianrou was yelled at by Jiang Er like this, and she trembled even more, Rao was qualitatively calculated by her in the maid, but after such an experience, she spoke a little incoherently.
"But by the time the little ones passed, the men in black were gone, and the young lady ...... The young lady was lying in the mud and was in a daze......"
Second Master Jiang frowned, "The gangster is gone, and the young lady is in a daze?" ”
Second Master Jiang didn't dare to continue to think about it, but he also wanted to know the truth at that time immediately. If something really insulting happened, then he knew it as soon as possible, and he could think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible. After all, the marriage between Su Xue and the Shen family has already been decided, and originally with the conditions of the Shen family, this family affair is completely the Shen family's climb to the Jiang family, but this is ......
Second Master Jiang's eyes suddenly became sharp, stared at Qianrou, and said in a deep voice: "Qianrou, you stay, and the rest, go down first." ”
Seeing that the attendants and sedan chair drivers had retreated, Qianrou was even more frightened, and looked at Second Master Jiang timidly.
Second Master Jiang took the teacup and was silent for a while before he spoke: "Let's say, what is the situation of the young lady after catching up at that time." ”
Second Master Jiang's meaning is very clear, he wants to listen to the truth.
Qianrou held back the trembling and replied tremblingly, "When ...... At that time, the young lady was lying in the mud puddle next to the mountain road, looking like she had been pushed down from above, and it was so high there, how could she survive if she pushed it down? The little one thought that the young lady had ...... Unexpectedly, the young lady just fainted, shouted a few times, and woke up. ”
Second Master Jiang's expression was even more puzzled, and he kept staring at Qianrou's face intently, and Qianrou seemed to be just frightened, not like he was lying.
"Then why didn't you say that before?" Second Master Jiang's voice was even deeper.
In fact, Second Master Jiang didn't want Qianrou to tell this in front of the Jiang Mansion, after all, it was about the reputation of the Jiang family. But Qianrou is just a maid after all, although she is also a clever person, but when she encounters such a big event, she can't even be afraid, how can she think about the reputation of Jiang Mansion so calmly?
Qianrou really didn't have the heart to think about this, she was just a maid who signed a death contract, where had she ever encountered such a thing? She was so frightened that her soul was almost gone, and while beckoning the sedan chair man to rush back, she looked around in panic, afraid that those gangsters would appear again.
After a while, Jiang Suxue, who had been stunned, actually lifted the sedan curtain by herself, and looked out with round eyes.
Qianrou didn't care about Jiang Suxue's strange expression, and started crying, wiping her tears while babbling to Jiang Suxue that she was about to be scared to death.
Jiang Suxue's face was pale, and she quietly listened to Qianrou's panicked nonsense, and finally understood, she was silent for a while, and finally only said: "Don't say anything for the time being after I go back, I was just dropped." ”
Qianrou wiped her tears, and saw that Miss was not only fine, but also so calm, so she was a little relieved. After returning home, she also followed Jiang Suxue's meaning, saying that she was just falling, and it was not until now that she was left by the second master for questioning, and she told the truth.
Second Master Jiang listened with a frown, pondered for a while, and asked, "You said, this is all ordered by Su Xue?" ”
Qianrou nodded vigorously, for fear that the second master would not believe it. Because in fact, even she herself doesn't believe it.
The third lady has always been straight-minded, but this time when she encounters such a thing, she can still be so cautious and calm, even Qianrou feels strange.
Second Master Jiang took a sip of tea and thought for a long time before he took a deep breath and said, "Remember, the third lady was just thrown and frightened." Invite a few more doctors into the house to take a look at her, take care of her carefully, and don't go out again until you get married. ”
Qianrou nodded repeatedly. She understood what the second master meant, that is, the matter of the young lady's encounter with the gangster still had to be kept secret.
After Qianrou came out, she thought that she would also tell the second master's instructions to the sedan chair driver and attendants, so as not to have different calibers when she got it. But she looked at the palanquin man and the attendant for a long time, so she had to stop the passing servant and ask.
The servant woman frowned, and whispered mysteriously, "I just saw them go to the butler to get some silver, and then they were taken out of the house by the butler in a hurry......
Qianrou's whole body stiffened, and she froze in place. The second master sent the sedan chair man and attendants in such a timely manner......
They received the money and left the mansion, and then they were no longer the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion, even if they leaked the news and said something, and the people in the Jiang Mansion did not agree, it was only a rumor at best.
In this way, in addition to the second master and the young lady herself, she is the only one in the house who knows the truth of this matter.
If this matter leaked out in the house, her fate can be imagined.
Looking back at the majestic Rongdetang plaque, Qianrou couldn't help but shudder, shrunk her neck, got up and walked back quickly.
Three young ladies in the room.
Crowds of people came and went, and the room finally fell silent.
Jiang Suxue lay flat on the brocade couch with her eyes open. Thinking back to the people who came just now, except for the doctor and the "second master" who still had worried looks on their faces, the rest of the people all looked like they had come to see what was going on. Even, there was a faint hint of joy on his face.
She took a deep breath, and after listening to the little girl's babbling words in the brocade sedan chair, she understood.
She was still alive, though no longer in her original plane.
After being surprised, there is fear. After returning home, she did not dare to speak, but just looked at their faces with wide eyes and pricked up her ears to listen to their words. It wasn't until the man called "Second Master" walked into the room and called her "Su Xue" that she was shocked.
Her original name was Su Xue, she thought that this second master knew her true identity, she thought that she just broke into a group of weirdos, and did not leave the original world, and there were still people who recognized her, she could still go back.
But in the later words, she gradually understood that he was not shouting Su Xue, but Su Xue.
Silently combing through the situation she is facing now, she never dared to say a word. She saw the doctor frowning, and saw an old lady sulking on the cane in her hand and scolding others, the old lady didn't have much worry and distress in her eyes, and some, just annoyed.
She didn't know what the old lady was angry about, but she also subconsciously thought of her grandparents in her previous life. I remember in my previous life, once she worked overtime all night, got cold, and then had a high fever, and then her grandparents would also come to see her, but it was not the disgusting eyes and face of the old lady.
Therefore, she was a little reluctant to believe that the old lady was actually the grandmother of this host.
After the old lady left, the rest of the house also left one after another.
After calming down, her heart was even brighter.
I opened my eyes and looked at the row of delicate tassels hanging above the brocade couch, the room was mixed with the smell of medicine and a faint scent of sandalwood, and the furnishings inside were rosewood mirror platforms and brocade pestles, and flower goblets with begonia patterns...... Also, this limp body.
There was a burst of pain in her neck that couldn't go away, and she reached out and touched it gently, which hurt even more.
Weighing this strangulation mark, she could imagine the situation that the host suffered at that time, the mechanical suffocation of the neck caused by external force and the common name, strangulation.
Although she was only a small employee in charge of checking and catching medicines in the traditional Chinese medicine hospital in her previous life, she still had this basic common sense, she knew the cause of death of the host, but what she knew even more was that the host's status in this mansion seemed to be a little embarrassing. At least, it's not very flattering.
At this moment, a maid Miaomeng, who was about twelve years old, walked up to the brocade couch with a bowl of black medicinal juice, and saw Jiang Suxue's eyes open, so she dared to say softly: "Miss, the medicine is boiled, get up and drink it." ”
She turned her face sideways and took a quick look at the maid, and finally her gaze fell on the medicine bowl.
She sighed, then scrambled slightly to sit up. The maid Miaomeng immediately put the medicine bowl on the small pestle and stepped forward to help Jiang Suxue.
In her previous life, she had smelled enough of Chinese medicine, and when she faced this bowl of medicinal juice again, her mood was complicated and embarrassing. But this body really should be conditioned, and she lay down for a while, but she still felt sore, as if she had been doing a whole day's hard work.
Taking a sip of the medicine bowl, she frowned.
Wheat Dong, Scrophularia ...... Take another sip, calamus, fritillary......
This kept flashing through her mind, though she didn't want to.
Miao Meng saw that Miss frowned and refused to continue drinking, thinking that Miss was disgusted with the bitter medicine, so she comforted: "The little one has prepared candied fruit here, Miss don't be afraid of bitterness, drink it quickly, the medicine will hurt your stomach if it is cold." ”
Jiang Suxue raised her eyes to look at Miaomeng, and couldn't help but correct: "Not all cold things hurt the stomach. After a pause, he added, "Not all medicines can be eaten after drinking." ”
After she finished talking to herself, she felt that she was really a little too talkative, so she didn't think much about it, tilted her head slightly and drank all the rest of the medicine in one go.
Miaomeng still held a few candied fruits in her hand, but she was stunned, and she didn't know whether she should give them to Miss. Hearing this, the young lady whispered again, "The amount of fritillary is not enough......"
This voice was very soft, Miaomeng turned her head to look at her, motioned for her to be louder, she laughed dryly, and said, "The medicine has been drunk, you go down first." ”
Miaomeng blinked in confusion, but the young lady had no intention of saying anything more, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she blessed her body and went out with the empty bowl.
She was the only one left in the room to lie quietly, and after a long silence, she opened her mouth slightly and whispered, "Jiang ...... Su Xue? ”
