Chapter Fifty-Eight: To Each His Own Fulfillment
The day after Song Lingyue was beaten, the old lady called Xia Yeqing over for a deep talk, and finally Xia Yeqing compromised and agreed to marry the daughter of the Mu family as his wife, and the marriage between the two families was finalized.
Xia Yeqing was angry and annoyed, and in the afternoon of the same day, he casually found an excuse, took Adjutant Zhang back to the barracks, and threw Song Lingyue to be taken care of at home.
Song Lingyue's injury caused a wound infection, and she burned for three days and three nights, and everyone was burned and confused, and Xia Yeqing was not there, and the subordinates were not so dedicated to her, so she couldn't get better.
Song Lingyue thought that she was beaten to death by Xia Yeqing, on this day, she finally struggled out of the boundless pain, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a gentle face looking at her and smiling, extremely kind, she thought she was reunited with her mother, stretched out her hand, and shouted softly, "Mom, is it you?" ”
The person in front of him blurred, and finally disappeared, Song Lingyue grabbed it in vain, but didn't catch anything, and fell into a deep sleep again.
The eldest lady left Song Lingyue's bedroom and hurried back to the bamboo house, Song Lingyue's whispering hurt her heart, and also temporarily awakened her lost mind, Xia Yeqing was really cruel to Song Lingyue, she couldn't let this poor girl die here, she had to find a way to save her.
Back at the bamboo house, the eldest lady found all her jewelry, Song Lingyue must need money to go out, she gave her all the jewelry, it should be enough for her to treat her illness and live.
The eldest lady packed a small bag, held it in her arms and was about to go to the east courtyard, walked to the door of the bamboo house, and met Xia Ke head-on.
"Big lady, where are you going with your baggage? You won't run away while Brother Qing is not at home, right? Xia Ke asked with a smile, took the burden casually, and pushed her back.
The eldest lady was pushed by her, and suddenly forgot the purpose of her return, and her brain began to get confused again, she always felt that there was something to do, but she couldn't remember what it was, and while following Xia Ke back, she muttered: "I have a burden, I want to ...... I'm going to, huh, what am I going to do? ”
Xia Ke only thought that she was playing tricks again, and shook her head helplessly: "You don't go there, just stay in the bamboo house, it's really boring, wait for Brother Qing to come back, and then take you out for a walk." ”
Xia Ke successfully diverted the eldest lady's attention in a few words, from wanting to help Song Lingyue escape, to waiting for Xia Yeqing to come back and take her out, and forgetting Song Lingyue's affairs completely.
Song Lingyue had a fever for another day, and when it was dark, the doctor came again, gave her an injection, and poured medicine into her, and stayed for an hour before the fever finally subsided.
When Song Lingyue woke up, the doctor was sorting out the medicine box, Chun Tao was cleaning up the gauze that she had removed when changing the dressing, Song Lingyue struggled to move, her body was as heavy as a thousand gold, and she couldn't sit up.
"Chun Tao, I want to drink water!" Song Lingyue shouted with all her might, and finally made a hoarse voice.
Chun Tao heard the movement and turned to the bedside, and when she saw her open her eyes, she was overjoyed and called the doctor in.
"Doctor, my aunt is awake, does it mean that she will be fine this time?"
The doctor examined Song Lingyue, looked at her pupils again, and nodded with a smile, "Well, I escaped death this time, I can get out of bed after a few days of rest, pay attention to diet and hygiene, take the medicine on time, and I'll come back in three days." ”
Chun Tao responded one by one and sent the doctor away with a thousand thanks.
Back in the bedroom, Song Lingyue had fully woken up, Chun Tao poured her a glass of water and fed her, helped her sit up, and ordered the kitchen to make some digestible porridge, and after doing all this, she stayed by the bed to chat with her.
Song Lingyue didn't know that she had been burning for several days, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did the chief say anything this morning?" Is he still in the study? ”
Chun Tao was worried about her injury, and she didn't want to tell the truth, but she couldn't make up a suitable reason, so she had to say: "Mrs. Auntie, you have been confused for six days, and the uncle went to the barracks the day after he came back, and he never came back!" After speaking, he secretly aimed his eyes at Song Lingyue.
Song Lingyue pursed her lips that were a little dry, and said with a wry smile: "It's been so long, it seems that there is no possibility of repairing it this time." ”
Chun Tao had already said that she was talking about the injuries on her body, and hurriedly comforted her: "Auntie, don't worry, the doctor gives the best medicine, and there will be no scars on the body." ”
Song Lingyue tilted her head back to make herself more comfortable, and said lightly, "No matter how good the medicine is, it can only cure the body, not the heart, it's useless." ”
Chun Tao couldn't understand the meaning of her words, so she had to excuse herself to go to the kitchen to see the porridge and leave the bedroom temporarily.
Song Lingyue sat alone at the head of the bed, silently thinking about her thoughts, Xia Yeqing was so ruthless, it seemed that she didn't have any feelings for her, those seemingly ambiguous behaviors in the past, but she thought about it a lot, what did she have to do to warm his cold heart?
Xia Yeqing stayed in the barracks for half a month, looking very calm on the surface, but his heart was tormented all the time, I don't know what the reason was, I inexplicably began to think about Song Lingyue, and a few times I couldn't help it, I wanted to call back to the mansion to ask, but in the end I couldn't wipe my face, so I gave up.
Early this morning, I got up before dawn on a summer night, and ran around the yard, but my heart still couldn't settle down, so I had to run to the bath room to take a cool shower.
After taking a shower, Adjutant Zhang was already waiting outside, handed him a clean towel, followed him into the house, and said as he walked: "Chief Chief, there has been a call from home, and my aunt's injury has improved a lot, so just continue to recuperate." ”
Xia Yeqing pretended not to care and snorted, "What does it have to do with me, I don't bother to care." ”
He suddenly stopped, turned to look at Adjutant Zhang, and asked with a complicated expression, "You won't take the initiative to call, right?" ”
Adjutant Zhang waved his hand again and again, "It's really not, it's the old lady who asked you about your recent situation, the wedding is about to be held, and he wants you to go back soon." ”
Xia Yeqing sighed, threw the towel to him, and said lightly, "I'll go back in the next few days, it's too hot in this barracks, I can't sleep well, and I'm upset." ”
Adjutant Zhang pursed his lips secretly, obviously worried that his aunt wouldn't be able to sleep, and refused to admit it, Fei wanted to say that it was a barracks heat, and for so many years, I had never heard him shout heat, so there was really nothing he could do.
After dark that day, Chun Tao went to the main courtyard, there was no servant in the house, Song Lingyue was lying on the bed, groggy and wanted to sleep again.
The door of the house was pushed open, and the eldest lady crept in, ran to Song Lingyue's bedside, pushed her, and muttered: "Everyone is not here today, can you take the opportunity to run away?" ”
Song Lingyue was clueless when she heard this, sat up and asked, "Big lady, what did you say, what did you run away?" ”
The eldest lady has been confused for these days, but today she finally came to her senses, took Song Lingyue's hand, and said with a distressed face: "I really can't see you suffering anymore, Yeqing is not here, this is the best opportunity to leave the mansion, I have prepared a sum of money for you, you go quickly!" ”
Walk? Song Lingyue was stunned, what should he do if he leaves? Thinking about it again, he didn't care about her at all, maybe he wouldn't care if he left, it was better to leave than to watch him love others in the future.
glanced at the house, this is not her home, and finally made up her mind, then take the opportunity to leave! The bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns to the road, and it fulfills him and himself.
"Okay, thank you, big lady, then please help me open the messenger at the door, I'll go, and in the future, I may never come back." Song Lingyue sighed, her tone a little sad.
There were hazy tears in the eyes of the eldest lady, although she was reluctant, but for her to live well, she was reluctant to give up, pulled her into her arms and hugged her, and finally let go of her hand.
"Now come out with me! I'll send you all the way out of the gate, this place, it's okay if you don't come back. ”
Song Lingyue burst into tears, threw herself into the arms of the eldest lady, and choked up: "The eldest lady, you will definitely be a good person and have a good reward, I will not be there in the future, you must take good care of yourself." ”
"I will, so will you, we will meet again when we have a chance in the future, we will."
