Chapter 55: Rivalry

As soon as Li Rui spoke, the whole courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

The goddess writhed in pain on the ground, and the whip slashed half of her face diagonally, and she was struck from the right eyeball to the left jaw, and the right eyeball was in severe pain.

Since Li Rui entered adolescence, his temperament has become bigger and bigger, and he is completely different from when he was a child, although Fang felt that Li Rui was very different from the past, he didn't expect him to change so much.

After all, since Li Rui moved out of the Splendid Courtyard, they have not been in contact as much as before.

"Let go of the lobby brother, do you want to break your palm?" Li Rui's voice was still calm and normal, but to others, it was inexplicably bloody.

The subordinates who grabbed Li Jun were already uneasy, but when they heard Li Rui's threatening words, they immediately let go.

The law of this dynasty, those who offend the master with servants, will have their hands cut off at the heavy, and they will be black-faced, and these subordinates are not eating the gall of the ambitious leopard, and they are said by Li Rui like this, where do they dare to catch Li Jun again.

Li Rui looked at the willow goddess rolling on the ground, and pointed at the woman with the tip of his whip. "He tied her up, stuffed her with something in her mouth, put some medicine in her, and threw her into the torture cell. This person bewitched the public, learned the art of 'ventriloquism' and came out to deceive, I don't know how many people I have harmed before, and when I ask to understand, I will be sent to the government. Clean up all those braziers, chicken blood, and other things for me! ”

He glanced at the people in the courtyard again.

"Great disrespect is a heinous sin, you are all born of a family, if this matter is leaked, you will all sit together. Today's mother-in-law's business, all the people have sealed their mouths for me, if there is a little wind outside, don't blame the master for being polite! ”

"I'm impatient to find out who said it one by one, if there's anything wrong, don't even think about running away."

A few powerful family members dragged the goddess away, and the brazier was cleaned up. Li Rui looked around, but he didn't find Li Ming, so he knew that Aunt Lu Dao was afraid of scaring her younger brother and took him away.

It doesn't matter if his younger brother is not there, the provincial government saw him confronting his aunt, and his heart was filthy.

The aunt was afraid that she didn't expect that his cousin would be so bold as to disobey the elders, so she didn't succeed for the goddess.

Fortunately, it didn't succeed, otherwise the mother-in-law splashed her blood, and said a few evil words, the old lady obviously came out of the palace, and she meant that there was a sneak in the palace, and the whole family would have to eat for her.

At that time, even if something happened to my grandmother, she didn't dare to explain the situation to the outside.

It's just that today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is so difficult for him to hire a doctor, I don't know where Aunt Lu Dao found this "god mother", it seems that she has not been in the mansion for a day or two.

What's more, the situation is so complicated now, if he has bad intentions and wants to pull his uncle off the horse and assassinate his grandmother, his uncle will have to worry about it for another three years, and he will not be able to enter the palace again.

In order to prevent this woman from being sent by someone, he will have to go to the trial when he is free. It's just that he's never done any of that...... I can't say that I have to go to his uncle.

Li Rui felt uncomfortable while thinking about it, and his heart was mixed.

In the past, he had a muddy life, and he only felt that the Fang family was the most gentle, gentle, graceful, and reasonable woman in the world besides his mother, at that time he lived in the Splendid Courtyard, and he saw that his aunt and housekeeper were also orderly, and he always felt that she had nothing bad about.

But in the past six or seven years, his aunt has never gone out of the house to socialize, and the shelf of the Duchess is getting bigger and bigger, but her knowledge has not necessarily grown much. His uncle also knew that Lu Dao was fighting outside to earn a future for the house, but she was good, but Lu Dao thought about her careful thoughts, and tried his best to pull the back legs of the house.

He is a junior, and he can't say much, but if he keeps letting it go......

's mother has a loss of virtue, and the future of Brother Ming's life will be buried. Even his uncle, sooner or later, will be impeached for "not governing the family strictly".

He had to talk to his uncle.

He can endure the past for a while, and that's because his grandmother stretched out her hand, and he didn't really suffer after all. But if the aunt's courage grows bigger and bigger, I don't know what Lu Dao will do.

People like them can't make the slightest mistake.

Thinking of this, Li Rui threw the whip to his companion behind him, and walked in front of Fang Clan alone.

Fang was stunned.

He, he, he, do you want to do something to her?

Outside, it is rumored that the eldest grandson of the Xinguo Mansion, the young master, once beat the county lord of the Xiangcheng Wang family. Maybe he will be sideways, and even his aunt will dare to do it.

Fang Shi stared at Li Rui, who was already a cut taller than her, in horror, and then looked at the subordinates around him for help.

Where did those subordinates know what the Dao Fang clan was afraid of, seeing that the two masters were about to confront each other, each lowered their heads as low as possible, and hated to have to raise it again.

It is said that there is a reason why the Fang clan is so anxious.

She had brought a goddess into the mansion years ago, but she had never been able to find a chance to take her to the old lady's yard to have a look.

First of all, the old lady had a cold in winter, Li Mao was by the side of Mrs. Qiu every day, and then at the end of the year, the Fang family was tired and lackβ–‘β–‘ed skills, there were too many housekeepers and subordinates in and out, and there were many people, first, I really couldn't take care of it, and second, there was no reason to take strangers to Mrs. Qiu's yard, and my heart was only like the kitten scratching my heart.

She had something on her mind, but she couldn't say anything about it.

It's like playing Three Kingdoms, with a good hand of cards in your hand, but you've been entertained and can't use it.

Today, the old lady is in a coma, her husband is not at home, Li Rui went out to ask the old imperial doctor Bai again, she is the only master in this whole mansion who can take care of things, Fang looked at this long-awaited opportunity, and somehow he was fascinated, so he must want to call the goddess to come and see if the old lady was really entangled by the fox fairy and the yellow immortal.

When the goddess called "Liu Nu" came, she said that there was black gas in the old lady's carriage. She was overjoyed in her heart, and felt that she had found the reason why the house had not been peaceful for so many years, so she was in a hurry to ask Liu Nu to exorcise evil spirits.

The Fang clan only thought that the dragon qi in the palace must be strong and could suppress all evils, but he forgot that if the old lady came out of the palace, if she was sick, she would be fine, and she could still say that she was overworked; But if they exorcise evil spirits as soon as they come out, doesn't that mean that the emperor and empress are the evil ones?

At that time, it will not be such a thing as the whole house is not peaceful.

Li Rui looked down at his aunt in front of him and raised his hand......

Fang's eyes widened.

…… Slightly squeezed.

Everyone around them breathed a sigh of relief.

"My aunt is a housekeeper on weekdays, and at the end of the year, she is so busy that she has no energy, which really makes my nephew feel guilty." Li Rui said with a flat expression, "Now that my grandmother is sick, my aunt should go down to rest and take care of her health." There are nephews and cousins here, and there are so many girls and mothers-in-law, I don't think there will be any chaos. ”

β€˜β€¦β€¦ It's also you who want to make trouble. He slandered.

"If there is anything important, the nephew will let the next person call the aunt."

Li Jun gasped.

What does my cousin mean to tell my aunt not to make trouble?

He's too bold! This is disobedience!

Fang's face was blue and red, she raised her hand, pointed at Li Rui's nose, and said in disbelief: "I carried you into the Splendid Courtyard when you were six years old, and you only moved out at the age of twelve, I treat you as if you were my own, and now that you are older, you want me to ......."

Li Rui sneered in his heart and lowered his head.

"My aunt was serious. It's just that there are no adults in the family now, so my aunt always has to take care of herself. You entered the palace early in the morning, and the grain of rice has not been eaten until now, if you are also tired, what should we do in the whole house? ”

"Please aunt put your body first!"

Li Rui slammed to the ground.

"Good, good! When your uncle comes back, I will let him hear that this good nephew of his, is persecuting his aunt with authority! The Fang clan was forced by Li Rui, and everyone in the courtyard was watching, and they suddenly felt their faces tighten for a while.

She flicked her sleeves and said hatefully:

"Wenxiu, Juanxiu, help me go back to Jinxiu Courtyard!"

When the Fang clan walked away, Li Rui walked up to Li Jun and saluted this cousin.

"What happened just now, thanks to the lobby brother's vigilance. The younger brother thanked the elder brother first. ”

"It's all one family, not two families. I just don't think it's right to find a goddess in the house......" Li Jun looked at this fourteen-year-old cousin worriedly, "It's just that although there is something wrong with my cousin, after all, she is an elder, and it is not good for you to do this." When my grandmother is well, I'd better go and apologize to my aunt. ”

Li Rui shook his head. "It is a matter of the safety of the whole house, and it must not be connived up. It's my uncle here, and that's what I suggest. If my aunt always thinks of some crooked ways to treat my grandmother, I can only keep my aunt from getting close to my grandmother. If my uncle blames me in the future, I will bear it with all my might. ”

Li Jun sighed. A few days ago, he was envious of the harmony of the whole family in the public mansion, and it seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Gu Qing fainted, as if he heard someone calling something, his voice was hoarse and angry, and it sounded very terrifying. She frowned, feeling that the sound was abominable for disturbing her sleep.

After a while, Gu Qing heard the woman's shouting again, this was not terrible, but harsh, she really wanted someone to quickly cover her ears.

"The old lady frowned!" Xiangyun shouted excitedly.

She had been waiting in the carriage, how could she not be happy to see that Gu Qing finally had other expressions besides being asleep?

When Li Rui heard Xiangyun's words, he swept away the coldness on his face, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.

Gu Qing was really frowning, and he looked very bored.

On the other side, Imperial Doctor Bai sat in the carriage of his mansion, was led by the door to the side gate of the Guogong Mansion, and drove directly into the courtyard.

Two of his healers jumped out of the car first, holding the medicine box.

The subordinates of the Xinguo Mansion saw that the White Imperial Doctor had finally arrived, and hurriedly rushed over and several people helped the White Imperial Doctor get out of the car.

The old gentleman was in a hurry, and he was about to be scattered in the carriage, but these subordinates who helped him didn't seem to help him, but ran towards Old Taijun Qiu's carriage, and couldn't help but feel angry.

But when he saw the curtain around the carriage, he suddenly felt that it was not good.

Is this sick to the point where you can't move?

It's so dangerous, why don't you go into the palace to find the imperial doctor and run to call him?

Yes, there must be no discouragement at the end of the year, even if it is a concubine in the palace, if she is sick at this time, she can only stay up, and then go to see a doctor after the fourth day of the new year. The Xinguo Mansion naturally knew about the doorway, so he went to invite himself.

Imperial Doctor Bai quickly stepped into the curtain, only to see the vermilion lacquer carriage in the Guogong Mansion that only Old Taijun Qiu could use, standing quietly in the curtain. The four horses driving were already blindfolded and their ears plugged, lest the sudden madness make the old lady in the carriage even more critical.

Imperial Doctor Bai got into the car, rolled Gu Qing's eyelids, carefully checked the pulse, and asked Doctor Hu on the side.

"Did Mrs. Guifu have numb hands, dry mouth, and dizziness before?"

Dr. Hu said with a look of shame: "I don't know. ”

Although he was a family doctor, he treated the stewards more than his masters. In the Xinguo Mansion, you can directly find the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and treat the condition, unless it is an emergency, otherwise you generally go to the imperial doctor to see it.

And since last year, Mrs. Qiu has not even asked him to ask for peace and trouble, so she won't invite him. Now Mr. Bai asked the old lady about the signs, and he really didn't know anything.

"Mrs. Tai sometimes stops for a while while while walking, and I am afraid that she will occasionally get dizzy." Yanyun and Xiangyun have been serving the old lady closely, and they know more about the old lady's situation than everyone in the mansion.

"There were a few times when I ate and I couldn't taste it."

Old Imperial Physician Bai sighed. And so it was.

"It's a stroke, it's a stroke. Depending on the situation, the old lady of your house has just gotten married, and her symptoms are quite mild. In the future, take good care of yourself, don't work hard, don't think too much, don't get angry, and ban greasy and spicy food, and your condition will not worsen for a while. ”

"What's the reason for this, my grandma hasn't woken up?" Li Rui pointed to the silver needle placed on the side. "Dr. Hu has already given the injection, but he still hasn't woken up."

"Huh? It stands to reason that this will not be the case. Imperial Doctor Bai glanced at Dr. Hu, last time he had debated medical theory with him, he felt that this Dr. Hu's level was still good, how could the needle be ineffective?

He thought about it, took out the concocted Du Heng minced powder from the medicine box, shook it a little and put it under Gu Qing's nose, and let Xiangyun blow it into Qiu Taijun's nose with his mouth.

Gu Qing's face was distorted.

Li Rui and Xiangyun were overjoyed, and they both looked at Mrs. Qiu with expectant eyes.

Gu Qing slept well, only to feel that an extremely spicy thing had entered her nose, and it had been permeating her nasal cavity and entire respiratory tract.

She studied medicine, so Zhilu Dao must have had some kind of volatile gas substance into her nose.

it! I told the girl which one put a strange thing in her nose, and when she woke up, she would catch it and tickle it to death!

I don't even give anyone a night's sleep! I know how long it has been since she slept a whole night!

"Why are you still not awake? Otherwise, put more? Li Rui looked at the medicine box of Old Imperial Doctor Bai.

"No, Du Heng is a strong medicine, Mrs. Tai is weak and can't use it much."

Bai Imperial Medicine has been practicing medicine for more than 40 years, and he has seen everything since he saw that Old Taijun Qiu reacted to Du Heng, but he never woke up, so he knew that Old Taijun Qiu was unwilling to wake up, not unconscious and unable to wake up.

Generally, only people who commit suicide will be like this, I don't know why this old feudal lord of the dignified mansion is so heartbroken.

"If the medicine and needles can't make Mrs. Tai wake up, then only let the person Mrs. Tai care about the most shout loudly in her ear. This disease can no longer be cured by acupuncture. Old Imperial Doctor Bai said to Li Rui:

"I once saved a woman who hanged herself, and it was her mother-in-law who made her sober by beating her young son to tears and putting her beside her."

This is heart disease, and heart medicine is needed. Even if a person is unconscious, he is still conscious, and people say that there are three souls and seven spirits, sometimes they only leave the soul temporarily, and if they can return to the body even if they let the soul return to the body, they can get better.

If Gu Qing was still awake, he would definitely have to rebuke this theory. People are divided into subconscious and superficial consciousness, and even sleep is divided into many layers, and the so-called "soul separation" is just a different ideology.

"Mrs. Tai frowned when she heard Young Master Rui scolding that woman just now. Or, Young Master Rui, you can shout again? Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, but still suggested. Shout harder. ”

Li Rui was not sure if he was the person his grandmother cared about the most. In his impression, he thinks that grandma should care most about grandpa or his father, at least from childhood to adulthood, grandpa and grandma have a very good relationship, every time his father goes to North Park, grandma is also smiling.

But at this time, he could only try.

Li Rui exerted all his strength, with a nervous mentality, and shouted in the ear of Old Taijun Qiu:

"Grandma, if you don't wake up again, I won't live either!"

Gu Qing's ears suddenly sounded like a thunderbolt, and her fingers trembled slightly.

Who's shouting? Who doesn't live anymore?

Is it Li Xiaopang?

That's not going to work! If it weren't for his pity, she would have found a way to find death. Now she is willing to be a bad old woman, with a problem with her body, and she is still waiting in the backyard for the next terrible palace fights, all for him.

How could he not live?!

"You're looking for a ......" Gu Qing tried his best to open his heavy eyelids, gritting his teeth and muttering, "If you want to seek death and life, I can't spare you first......"

A sour feeling in Li Rui's chest suddenly exploded, and this unfamiliar sourness spread to his internal organs and limbs. He was touched by this inexplicable sourness, and suddenly fell down on Gu Qing's knees, clutching Gu Qing's clothes, trembling and crying all over.

His spasms immediately spread to Gu Qing, who had been frozen there and leaning on the carriage. made Gu Qing's heart sour.

Only at this time will people feel that no matter how much Li Rui has experienced and how mature he is, he is just a fourteen-year-old child.

is still a child whose parents are dead and lonely.

Gu Qing trembled and looked down at Li Rui.

"No one is allowed to do anything."

Li Rui nodded desperately.

Gu Qing took a deep breath and let his strength slowly recover.

"There are already too many people who have died. We're all going to have to take care of it. ”
