Although this kind of thing often happens, the old lady still cries every time she sees it, she wipes the tears on her face with her hand, and asks worriedly, "What's the matter?" Chendu hasn't been sick for a few days. Why did I do it again tonight. ”

Doctor Huang looked at Nangong Chen on the bed and said hesitantly, "This...... I can't say it well. ”

"Could it be related to my cousin's recent diet?" Pu Lianyao on the side suddenly asked, and then immediately said, "Is it related to the hot pot that my cousin ate tonight?" ”

Park Lianyao's words made Bai Muqing's heart stand out in her heart, and she looked at Nangong Chen on the hospital bed again in amazement, is it really because of tonight's hot pot? Could it be that a hot pot really had such a big impact on him?

My heart was quickly stained with a touch of guilt and guilt, but it was too late to regret it.

"Hot pot?" The old lady suddenly furrowed her brows and glanced at everyone: "Chen went to eat hot pot tonight?" Who went with him? ”

The people inside were silent in an instant, and Park Lianyao quickly covered her mouth as if she was in trouble, and Shen Ke looked at each other without squeaking.

The old lady turned to Park Lianyao again: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Pu Lianyao put down her palm and opened her mouth to stammer: "Uh...... I'm just guessing. ”

"Speculation?" The old lady's forced gaze swept all the way to Bai Muqing: "What about you?" You and Chen had dinner together tonight, what did you eat? ”

As soon as Bai Muqing came into contact with the old lady's fierce gaze, she couldn't help but gasp, although she had agreed with Nangong Chen to keep it secret, but she couldn't continue to hide it at this time.

She opened her mouth. said: "Grandma, the eldest young master did eat hot pot tonight." ”

"What did you say?" The old lady screamed, so angry that she almost fainted, and stepped forward to sweep her with a cane: "Did Sister He tell you that Chen can't get spicy cigarettes, wine, and spicy food, and can't eat hot pot?" ”

Bai Muqing was frightened, and her body instinctively ducked to the side.

The old lady's crutches did not fall, it was Shen Ke and Pu Lianyao who dragged her in a hurry.

Pu Lianyao shouted anxiously: "Grandma, my cousin-in-law is still pregnant, you can't fight." ”

"What's so great about being pregnant? It's best to knock the child out! The old lady didn't expect this child to be born in the first place, and naturally she wouldn't forgive her for such ignorant behavior because of a child.

"That's right, grandma, I think my sister-in-law should have forgotten too, so don't be angry." Shen Xin walked to Bai Muqing's side and protected her behind her.

"Forgot? Look what has become of Chen! "The old lady showed no signs of deflating. Pointing to Nangong Chen on the bed: "Chen never ate that kind of junk food before, why did you marry not only the whole person, but also the taste?" How can I feel at ease to leave Chen in your care? ”

Bai Muqing unconsciously protected her abdomen with her hands. shrank behind Shen Xin, and said with a guilty face: "Grandma, I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to be so serious, I ......." "Juwei Xuba.

"It's not like you haven't seen Chen's illness before, every time you get sick, there is more danger, and every time you may kill him, do you understand?" The old lady sighed and pointed at her with a cane: "And you, what kind of hot pot are you going to eat as a pregnant woman?" Don't you think this kid is crippled enough? You....... ”

The more the old lady scolded, the more angry she became, and she almost fainted again.

"Grandma, don't worry, isn't my cousin already fine?" Park Lianyao helped the old lady to walk to the sofa. Help her to sit down.

As soon as the old lady sat down, she stood up again and said to Bai Muqing: "Go, go to the ancestral hall and kneel until tomorrow afternoon." ”

As soon as Bai Muqing heard the word ancestral hall, she immediately panicked, and shook her head vigorously, "Grandma, I can't go, please let me stay and take care of the eldest young master." ”

She is still pregnant, how can she go to such an obscure place, how can she kneel for a day and a night?

However, she knew that her pleas could not be useful, for the old lady never listened to requests. Sure enough, the old lady's mouth resolutely spit out a sentence: "No need! ”

"Grandma'......!"

"Get out!" The old lady listened impatiently as she continued. He drank her out. After drinking, he took a deep breath and told Dr. Huang to take care of Nangong Chen, then turned around and walked towards the bedroom door.

Bai Muqing saw that the old lady had made up her mind, and no longer begged for her forgiveness, looking at Nangong Chen who was motionless on the bed, a trace of sadness crossed her heart, she didn't expect that a hot pot would put him and herself into such a situation.

Park Lianyao walked up to her and apologized with a look of remorse: "Cousin-in-law, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to provide Dr. Huang with a diagnosis and treatment judgment, I ......." ”

She was so guilty that she couldn't talk anymore, Bai Muqing smiled sadly and said, "I know that you are unintentional, it is my own fault, I despise the illness of the eldest young master too much." ”

"It's just ......." She looked up at her: "How do you know that Chen and I went to eat hot pot?" ”

She and Nangong Chen decided to eat hot pot temporarily, and after coming back, they went back to their rooms, she didn't tell others, and Nangong Chen definitely wouldn't tell others.

Shen Ke hurriedly said: "Oh, that's the case, Lian Yao and I originally planned to go to the hot pot restaurant next door to the Children's Palace tonight, but when we saw my cousin's car parked in front of the store, I was embarrassed to disturb you." ”

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to." Park Lianyao still looked remorseful.

Bai Muqing smiled sadly, and after one last glance at Nangong Chen, she turned around and walked towards the bedroom door.

Coming to the ancestral hall of the Nangong family again, Bai Muqing was still weak before entering the door.

The two servants guarding the door were extra wary of her after she broke into the ancestral hall alone last time, and after the two looked at each other, they asked cautiously: "Young lady, didn't you faint with fright last time?" How dare you come? ”

Both of them had a look of defeat on their faces, after all, they had been here for so long, and everyone they had met before had avoided this place, and it was the first time they had seen someone like Bai Muqing who didn't know whether to live or die.

Bai Muqing was a little ashamed by the panic on their faces, she probably really scared them last time, right? And they were punished by Nangong Chen.

"Don't worry, I'm really here to be punished this time, and I won't run around again." She said.

And give her a few more guts, and she won't dare to break into it like last time.

There were still only a few candles in the ancestral hall, and it was so dark that you could hear the sound of candles burning.

Bai Muqing deliberately paid attention to the wooden door in the upper right corner, and found that there was an extra lock on the door lock, probably added after that time, right?

So the question is, did she pass out in the front hall or the back hall last time? What they saw in the backroom was a dream, and it was still unclear to her.

But for these, she doesn't care anymore, after all, she will leave when the child is born, and then she will have nothing to do with the Nangong family, and the secrets of the Nangong family naturally have no meaning to her.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, found a cushion and carefully knelt down.

Hopefully nothing inexplicable will happen to this night, and hopefully this night will pass soon!

However, no matter how she prayed and comforted herself, the strange environment around her still made her heart furry and cold sweat broke out.

The long night, the seconds are like years, Bai Muqing almost counted the hour hand. I managed to get to the small window on the side wall, and when the dawn light shone in.

She wiped a handful of cold sweat from her forehead and exhaled heavily, it's good when it's dawn, and she doesn't need to be afraid anymore when it's dawn.

With that ray of light, Bai Muqing carefully looked at the tablets on the table for the first time, and the ancestors of the Nangong family were enshrined on them. If they have a spirit in heaven, can they bless the baby in her belly with health and cuteness?

She closed her eyes with her hands together, and with a reverent expression, she sued her own request against the ancestors of the Nangong family, asking them to bless her to give birth to a healthy and happy baby.

Obviously she didn't believe in the gods, but she still couldn't help it, because she wanted this baby to live a long and healthy life.

Bai Muqing suddenly felt the cushion on her side sink down, followed by a figure pausing beside her, she opened her eyes and turned her head.

When she saw Nangong Chen kneeling beside her, she was stunned at first, and then said with a sigh of relief: "What are you doing?" Scared the hell out of me. ”

"Am I really that scary?" Nangong Chen looked at the cold sweat on her forehead, this is inevitably too exaggerated.

"I thought it was ......." Bai Muqing paused, and did not continue to say the following words, after all, the Nangong family forbade discussing ghosts and gods.

"Think there's a ghost coming?" Nangong Chen finished the conversation for her, the corners of his lips were mocking, he knew that she had always been afraid of this place.

Bai Muqing didn't answer his question, but looked at him and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Nangong Chen replied.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" He did look good, and he looked good, but it was dimly lit, and she couldn't tell if his face was as pale and bloodless as it was yesterday.

"Can't sleep." Nangong Chendao.

He didn't tell her that he couldn't sleep because he heard Dr. Huang say that she had been brought to the ancestral hall by the family law, because he knew that she was afraid of this place, so he came here.

"I'm sorry." Bai Muqing suddenly said apologetically.

Nangong Chen turned his head and glanced at her: "Why did you say I'm sorry?" ”

"I shouldn't have taken you to hot pot."

I didn't eat a good candlelight dinner, but I ran to eat some hot pot, and I really couldn't live by myself.

"It's me who wants to taste the hot pot, and it's also me who proposes to eat it, and I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." Nangong Chen can still distinguish this matter.

It was him, not her, who should be punished.

Bai Muqing glanced him up and down, and said with a slight mockery: "It's not like your style to be so sensible." ”

"Since you say so, then I don't need to feel guilty, let's go back and make up for sleep first." Nangong Chen was about to stand up from the mat as he spoke, but Bai Muqing hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't go...... ”

"What? Scared? Nangong Chen knelt back on the mat and raised eyebrows at her.

Bai Muqing made no secret of her fear and nodded: "That's right, so can I ask you to wait until it's completely dawn before leaving?" ”

When he came, her whole heart was settled, and she was no longer afraid.

Nangong Chen was just teasing her, but after hearing her say this, she pretended to be embarrassed and nodded: "Okay, I'll kneel with you again." ”

"Thank you." Bai Muqing was worried about his body, so he took a cushion from the other side of his body and said to him, "Don't kneel, sit down." ”

Nangong Chen glanced at her indifferently: "No, it's good to kneel." ”

Bai Muqing didn't continue to persuade him, and turned his gaze back.

After a moment of silence in the scene, Bai Muqing asked casually without words: "Young Master, you shouldn't have been punished by the family, right?" ”

Nangong Chen shook his head: "No." ”

What a happy child!

But yes, the old lady hurt him and was about to hurt into his bones, how could she be willing to punish him for kneeling in the ancestral hall?

The light in the ancestral hall brightened little by little, and gradually the words on the tablet could be seen clearly, and Bai Muqing was a little curious when she just looked at it. This Nangong Chen is here, and there is just no topic to continue, such as pointing to the bottom two tablets and asking, "Are these two your parents?" ”

One surnamed Nangong and the other surnamed Ling, the most placed at the bottom, should be his parents, right?

Nangong Chen looked at the tablet with her, and muttered for a few seconds before nodding 'um'.

"They...... Feelings are good? Bai Muqing continued to ask curiously.

She remembered that Nangong Chen said that his father died in a car accident because his mother died and his mood was greatly affected.

"Good." Nangong Chen nodded.

Bai Muqing felt the sadness in his tone, tried to improve the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Your mother must be a very good woman." ”

Nangong Chen suddenly turned his face, and there was some displeasure in his tone: "She is also your mother now." ”

Bai Muqing was surprised, and then nodded: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend." ”

Nangong Chen didn't respond to her, and was silent for a moment before suddenly spit out: "She is indeed a very good woman, the best I have ever seen." ”

It turned out that his feelings for his mother were so deep and his evaluation was so high, Bai Muqing's heart suddenly softened a little inexplicably, it was the first time she saw that he had such deep feelings for people other than Zhu Zhu.

"Then you must be very sad when she leaves." Bai Muqing unconsciously asked such a sentence, and she didn't know what psychology she was asking for. Anyway, when she asked this sentence, she thought of the situation when her grandmother died.

At that time, she was going to school in City C, and suddenly received the news of her grandmother's death, which was told to her by her aunt, and she was told only after her grandmother was in the ground, and she almost fainted in the school's dormitory building when she heard the news.

"It's really sad, crying to death." Nangong Chen's muttered words pulled Bai Muqing's flying thoughts back.

She turned her head, looked at him and smiled bitterly: "How can the dearest and most beloved person leave him without being sad?" ”

"Yes." Nangong Chen nodded, not feeling the hatred on Bai Muqing's face at all.

The sky was completely bright, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the ancestral hall, followed by the sound of the door being opened and the servant politely greeting: "Good morning, old lady." ”

"Did the young lady kneel well at night?" It was Sister He who asked this.

"Yes, I've always knelt, but ......." He paused and said cautiously, "The eldest young master also came over early in the morning." ”

"Got it." Sister He said.

It was because when they went to Nangong Chen's room to see him in the morning that they found that he was gone, and when they asked the servant, they knew that he was coming in the direction of the ancestral hall, so they would follow him early in the morning.

The servant opened the door of the ancestral hall, and the old lady stepped in, and then saw Nangong Chen kneeling beside Bai Muqing at a glance. She walked up anxiously and angrily, looked down at Nangong Chen and scolded angrily: "Chen, what are you doing?" Why don't you hurry up and get me back to bed! ”

Seeing the old lady suddenly appear, Bai Muqing unconsciously slipped a trace of panic in her heart, she has always been very afraid of this old lady who says nothing, especially when she appears with anger like now.

She glanced at Nangong Chen and reminded in a low voice, "Young Master, if you don't want to kill me, go back and rest." ”

Nangong Chen did not get up and leave the ancestral hall, but looked up at the old lady seriously and said, "Grandma, didn't Ying'an tell you that I was the one who wanted to eat hot pot, and I was the one who proposed to eat hot pot, and you punished the wrong person." ”

Bai Muqing turned her head and looked at him in surprise, was he helping her intercede? How can it be?

The old lady didn't believe his words at all, and said expressionlessly: "You haven't thought about eating hot pot when you're so big, why do you want to eat it tonight?" ”

"Because I heard Shen Ke and Lian Yao say yesterday morning that they were going to eat hot pot in the evening, I also want to try it." Nangong Chen explained unhurriedly: "Besides, last night's illness is not necessarily related to hot pot. ”

Although he explained it reasonably, the old lady was still not very satisfied: "Even if you propose it, as a wife, she should know that eating that thing is not good for your health, and she not only does not stop it, but also goes to eat with you, which shows how much she cares about your body." ”

"Grandma, Ying'an, she's still pregnant."

"What's wrong with pregnancy? Can you casually make such a low-level mistake when you are pregnant? ”

"Grandma......."

"Don't plead for her anymore, I don't want to hear it."

"Grandma, you misunderstood, I didn't intercede for her, I just wanted to say a ...... to you." Nangong Chen said with a serious face: "Please go back, don't disturb our family to fulfill the family law." ”

"You ......." The old lady was angry: "Nangong Chen, you deliberately did it against me, right?" ”

"No, I just think it's me who is greedy, and it's me who proposed to eat hot pot, so there's no reason for their mother and son to be punished for me." Nangong Chen said with an innocent face.

The old lady gritted her teeth in anger, but she couldn't do anything about him, so she had to angrily throw a sentence to Bai Muqing: "If you make such a low-level mistake next time, I will never spare you." ”

Bai Muqing hurriedly lowered her head: "Grandma, I know." ”

The old lady snorted and left, and there were only two of them left in the ancestral hall in an instant.

Bai Muqing looked at Nangong Chen, who had already stood up from the mat, and said gratefully, "Thank you." ”

If it weren't for him, she would have knelt until the afternoon.

But this man looks serious on weekdays, and he actually has a side that can make the old lady speechless, which is quite cute when you think about it.

Nangong Chen glanced at her who was still kneeling: "What?" Is it comfortable to kneel? ”

Only then did Bai Muqing realize that it was time for her to get up from the mat, and she got up with her palms in her hands. Probably because her legs were numb from kneeling for too long, her body that she had just propped up suddenly tilted to the side.

"Be careful." Nangong Chen's eyes quickly grabbed her waist and protected her into the crook of her arm.

Bai Muqing's face changed, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that he was safe, and withdrew from the crook of his arm: "Thank you." ”

It's obviously a very simple thing, but she thanked her left and right, and it was really a failure for husband and wife to think like this, Nangong Chen glanced at her with some unhappiness: "Have you thanked enough?" ”

Bai Muqing was speechless, and when she saw that he was about to leave, she hurriedly followed his pace and walked towards the door of the ancestral hall.

It was the morning when the birds and flowers were singing outside the ancestral hall, the spring was bright, and the soft yellow sunlight was sprinkled down from the trees, cutting the ground into patches of gold.

Bai Muqing stood on the steps at the entrance of the ancestral hall, opened her arms and took a deep breath, even the air was full of intoxicating fragrance. It was the first time she had found this place so beautiful and charming.

The few times she had been here before had to be in a hurry to pay attention to these things, only today, she was attracted by the scenery outside as soon as she stepped out.

Nangong Chen walked a few steps and found that she didn't follow, turned around and saw that she was still staying at the door of the ancestral hall with an intoxicated face, and raised her eyebrows at her and said, "Are you nostalgic for last night's punishment and kneeling?" ”

"Of course not." Bai Muqing shook her head almost in horror, she had never been so afraid of a place in her life, how could she be nostalgic?

"I just didn't realize that the scenery was beautiful." She said.

Nangong Chen glanced around and disagreed: "The really beautiful place of the Nangong family is not here. ”

Really? Not here? Bai Muqing really didn't know what else in the Nangong family was more beautiful than here. Because of Sister He's warning, even if she came out to take a walk on weekdays, she always walked around the Lord and went back, and never went anywhere else.

She only knew that the Nangong family was so big that it was so big that people couldn't finish walking. ~pen

"Would you like to check it out?" Nangong Chen asked.

"I don't want to." Bai Muqing shook her head.

"Really?"

"I don't want to go through family law again." Sister He warned her not to walk around, if she was caught, she would probably be in the ancestral hall again tonight.

She originally thought that Nangong Chen would show a domineering posture like he had just done and didn't have to be afraid of anything, but she didn't expect him to just think about it, and then nodded: "That's right, let's go back and rest." ”

Bai Muqing was speechless, but still kept up with him.

When she first heard that Nangong Chen intended to take her to the Nangong family's house, she was still quite happy in her heart, after all, she had been married for so long, and she had not really visited this house.
