Chapter 238: Rescue on a Moonlit Night
In the afternoon, when Peng Dahai went out, Peng Xiaoqian came to the Linghua House.
Linghua was lying on the bed in a daze, Peng Xiaoqian went to bed by the way and hugged her, "What are you doing here?" Linghua hurriedly hid inside.
"My dad is gone." Peng Xiaoqian squeezed her to the side of the bed, hugged her vigorously, and said excitedly, "I want to tell you something." β
"Just talk about things, don't touch it." Linghua pulled out his hand, and Peng Xiaoqian grinned.
"What do you say?" Linghua panicked, "Let's leave quickly, the master is angry, if he catches the two of us, I will lose most of my life if I don't die." β
"I'm going to do something big tonight." Peng Xiaoqian leaned in Linghua's ear and whispered.
Seeing him so mysterious, Linghua was curious and puzzled, and asked in a panic, "What is the big deal?" β
"I'm going to let my mother out secretly."
"The master will kill you!" Linghua said in horror.
Peng Xiaoqian's face did not change, but asked, "Are you worried about me?" β
Linghua pursed her mouth, lowered her eyebrows and said pityfully: "I didn't give birth to a child in this family, so it is untenable after all." Although he is young now, he also has a little appearance, your father still likes it, once he marries a younger and more beautiful concubine, I will be older and it will be over, you are my only finger. β
"I won't let you down." Peng Xiaoqian struggled towards the head of the bed, approached her face, and kissed Linghua on the face.
"That being said, who knows when you'll have to wait, and who knows how long you'll like me." Linghua said sadly.
"That's why I decided to do this tonight, just to get you out of my father's clutches as soon as possible," Peng Xiaoqian said triumphantly, "As long as it is done, my mother will marry you to me." β
"Really?" Linghua asked in surprise, her voice couldn't help but be a little louder.
"Shhhh......h β
Linghua pulled the quilt and covered the two, Peng Xiaoqian said: "It turns out that my mother has long known about the two of us, she told me in person today, as long as I release her, she said that there is a way to deal with Dad, and if you deal with Dad, you will be mine." β
"Really?" Linghua is still unbelievable.
"Really, it's a puppy to lie to you." Peng Xiaoqian said sincerely, "So I'll go and release my mother tonight, and then I can't stay at home, because my father must know that I did it, and if he catches me, it's over." β
"What should I do if you're gone?"
"I'm just going out to hide, and I'll come back when my mother finishes dealing with my father."
"Don't coax me, don't come back." Linghua prayed for mercy.
"No, don't worry." Peng Xiaoqian was earnest, and his hands were rubbed on the waist of Linghua.
Linghua's heart ignited greater hope, the light of hope dispelled the melancholy that often lingered in her heart, she was happy and moved, thinking that her life was pinned on this child who was not yet thirteen years old, "I can trust you, little ancestor." Linghua hugged him tightly and kissed him on the face.
"Hehe......" Peng Xiaoqian smiled, "I still want it." β
"Little pervert." Linghua scolded with a smile, "Ah-" She suddenly called out, and it was Peng Xiaoqian who hugged her and turned over.
"Why are you so strong?" Linghua asked with a red face.
"I thought I was so young, even though I wasn't thirteen, I was almost there." Peng Xiaoqian was prostrate on her chest, like lying on a pile of freshly produced steamed buns - soft, warm, smelling and fragrant.
Linghua stared at Peng Xiaoqian in front of her, and suddenly felt as if this child had grown up, her heart was pounding, and she closed her eyes shyly.
The two covered the quilt and played for a while, Peng Xiaoqian was sweating profusely, stretched out his head to see that the sunlight had moved some distance, he felt that he had stayed here too long, so he left.
"Little money, don't forget me." Linghua stuck her head outβher face flushed, sweat wetting her sideburns, making her broken hair wet and sticking to her three-part-white, seven-point face.
"No, it won't." Peng Xiaoqian wiped his sweat, sneakily went out, turned around and stuck his head out into the house and said, "Wait for me." β
Linghua nodded.
Peng Xiaoqian has nothing to do at this time, and when he remembers that he is going to do something of great significance tonight, he feels restless, there is no place to put this restlessness, he only tells Linghua that she can't help him share it, he is very depressed, so he thinks about telling Fluttershy.
Running on the road, I happened to meet them. "Hey, are you looking for me too?" Peng Xiaoqian asked.
"yes."
"Don't stand on the road and say, talk as you go," Zhuang Yuncheng asked, "How is your family?" β
"The world has been turned upside down." Peng Xiaoqian said, "Dad imprisoned my mother, and my mother asked me to let her out tonight, she is going to fight with my father." β
"To the point where it has been?"
"yes."
"What is your mother going to do?" Fluttershy asks.
"I don't know about this, but my mother is very powerful, she has a way to deal with her father, but her father is not so easy to deal with."
"And which side are you on?"
"I was on my father's side at first, but my mother found out about me and Linghua, and promised me that as long as I dealt with my father, I would marry Linghua to me, and I would be on my mother's side."
Zhuang Yuncheng smiled: "I didn't expect you to be so affectionate and righteous to Linghua." β
"That's what men do, they fight for the woman they love, even if she's my father's woman now, but I'm going to grab it." Peng Xiaoqian generously quoted what his mother had told him, and then said sadly: "But I'm still a little worried." β
"What if we help you too?" Fluttershy asks.
"You guys? How can you help me? β
"Don't ask, anyway, we will be able to help you if we have a situation later."
"Okay, Sister Fluttershy, let's make an appointment for a time and place, if you want to find me, or if you want to find you."
Fluttershy thinks for a moment and says, "How about meeting at one o'clock in the middle of the day at your silk shop?" β
"Okay."
"Well, that's it, now tell me more about your father, your mother, your second mother, your third mother, and your eldest brother."
"Okay." Peng Xiaoqian kept talking.
The three of them walked all the way to the end of Xihua Street, and then separated.
At night. In Qin's small courtyard, except for delivering food, the front door and back door have not been opened, Peng Dahai didn't want to see her at a glance, his initial goal had been achieved, and the ultimate goal was to confine her for a long time, in order to force her to commit suicide or go crazy, only in this way could she never have worries.
During the day, the front and back doors of the small courtyard were watched by one person, and at night, the two took turns to guard, although the door was locked, but Peng Dahai was not completely at ease, he knew that there was a tigress locked inside, and there were two locks tightly, and a courtyard wall might not be able to guarantee foolproof.
At about eight or nine o'clock, it was completely dark, and only the candles lit during the activities of the people in Peng Dahai's house were still on, and the owners who had gone to bed early were almost asleep.
Peng Xiaoqian sneaked to the door of the Linghua room, and he knew that his father was inside. This moment was the most heart-wrenching moment for him, thinking that the white jade-like body of the rhombic flower was caressed by his father's rough and old hands, and a beautiful rhombic flower was ruthlessly destroyed by pests, and he was heartbroken.
Soon, Linghua saw the dark shadow outside, so she pushed Peng Dahai away, walked to the door, pushed open a gap slightly, and whispered: "Your father is asleep, you can go with confidence." β
"Well, Linghua, wait for me to save you."
Linghua nodded affectionately.
Peng Xiaoqian immediately left, and went to the house with a bowl of medicine and walked to the back door.
In the first half of the night, this man named Li San was guarding, and when he saw a dark shadow coming, he asked, "Who?" β
"Li San, it's me."
"Third Young Master, what are you doing now?" Li San asked.
"I went in to see my mother today, and I learned that she was sick, so I boiled a bowl of medicine for my mother to drink."
"Does the master know?"
"Yes."
"But the master didn't tell me, why don't you send it tomorrow, the eldest lady may have fallen asleep by this time." Li San said.
"No, my mother can't sleep well at night without taking medicine." Peng Xiaoqian trembled and held the bowl, the clear potion in the bowl reflected a cold bright moon in the sky, but the moon was smashed more and more by this ripple.
"It's... Third young master, this is a bit embarrassing for me, the master said that whenever the door is opened, it can only be opened when three meals are delivered. β
"My mother is sick and you are responsible, open the door quickly!" Peng Xiaoqian reprimanded angrily.
Li San pushed the committee, but he didn't know what to do.
"If you die of illness, you will die of illness!" A voice came from the darkness.
Peng Xiaoqian trembled with fright, his hands trembled in shock, and he even lost the bowl - the moon in the bowl was nowhere to be seen - he didn't dare to turn around.
Li San took a step forward, bowed, and said, "Master." β
Peng Xiaoqian lost his soul and stood with his eyes bulging.
"It's a big night, what kind of medicine to send!" Peng Dahai scolded.
"I..." Peng Xiaoqian couldn't say a word.
Peng Dahai raised his thick hand, walked over and dragged his ear into the front hall, Peng Xiaoqian screamed, and the terrible voice spread throughout the house, alarming everyone.
Mother and son were connected, Qin's heart tingled, she only heard the scream, and she didn't know the specific situation.
At this time, in the hall, several concubines came, and several servants also came, Peng Xiaoqian lowered his eyebrows, standing in the middle of the hall, and Peng Dahai sat in front of him.
"What kind of medicine are you going to give?" Peng Dahai asked.
"My mother is sick."
"Why haven't I heard?"
"She didn't tell anyone but me, she said...... It's okay to say that I'm sick and dead, but I don't want my mother to die, so ...... So send the medicine. Peng Xiaoqian trembled all over his body and stammered.
"You're making up your mother's nonsense!" Peng Dahai yelled, "What did she tell you today?!" β
"I'm not lying, Dad." Peng Xiaoqian knelt down.
Peng Dahai didn't have any actual evidence, and asked with a dark face: "Then what did you do at the door of Linghua's room just now?" β
"I..." Peng Xiaoqian's heart had already jumped to his throat, he swallowed violently, held his breath and said, "I...... Come and ask Dad if he is asleep, Linghua said that I didn't bother you when I fell asleep, I originally wanted to talk to Dad about going to deliver medicine again. β
Linghua was also trembling with fear, she swallowed and stared at him only.
Peng Dahai thought that he couldn't ask anything, so he didn't ask, and after being silent for a long time, he said coldly: "If you are sick, you will not be given medicine, and no one is allowed to visit, and you, kneel, if you don't explain honestly, you will kneel until dawn." β
Peng Xiaoqian still bowed his head and remained silent.
Subsequently, Peng Dahai dismissed everyone, leaving Peng Xiaoqian alone to kneel here. Peng Xiaoqian's mind felt as if he was washed by a violent storm, and he only felt in a trance.
