143 Dig Your Heart!
When Xiao came in from outside with a tray, he happily called Lu Nianshi's name in his mouth, but Lu Nianshi did not answer.
"Shi'er, Shi'er......" she called out twice, but Lu Nianshi still didn't move.
Xiao Shi was frightened, she hurriedly put down the tray in her hand, walked towards the bed, and pulled Lu Nianshi's face hard, but found that there was no anger in her eyes, it was clear that she was dead from life.
"Shi'er-" The tails of Xiao's eyes turned red at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, her hands trembled, she knelt down with Lu Nianshi's face, and said hoarsely in pain, "Shi'er, how can you, how willing to leave your mother!" My poemsβ"
Xiao's cry was heard violently out of Zijin Courtyard.
Lu Nianyun in the courtyard next to him shuddered, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Miss," Chunhuan, the maidservant girl left by her biological mother, called her and said worriedly, "Madame's name is so miserable, it's not the second miss, she's already ......."
"It should be," Lu Nianyun lowered her eyebrows, she was not in the mood to drink tea, she stretched out her hand towards Chunhuan, "Help me to lie on the bed, second sister is leaving, I am afraid that I will be sick in bed for a few more months." β
Chunhuan nodded, she understood what her young lady meant, "The slave helped you over." β
Lu Nianyun took Chunhuan's hand and walked to the bed.
The news of Lu Nianshi's death spread quickly, and in the Nanqiu Courtyard, the old lady just sneered, twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand and told Mama Kang, "Tell Xiao that Lu Nianshi's sinful obstacle is not worthy of entering my Lu family cemetery, nor is it worthy of mourning, let her find a garden and bury it hastily." β
"Yes, old lady!" Mama Kang was ordered to retreat and took people to Lu Nianshi's courtyard.
In the boudoir, Xiao was helping her daughter scrub her body and put on mourning clothes, when she heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, she didn't even raise her head.
But Mother Liu stepped forward cautiously and said respectfully, "Madam, Madam Kang is here." β
"Boom out!" Xiao gritted his teeth.
Mother Liu's face froze, "After all, that's the old lady's person." β
Hearing the old lady's three words, Xiao Shi was so hateful that her teeth trembled, she was silent, and after a long time, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said, "You're right, she is the old lady's person after all, let her in, I'll listen to what she wants to say." β
"Yes, ma'am!" Mother Liu said, retreating outside.
After a while, Mama Kang walked in with Mother Liu, she walked to the bedside, and bowed respectfully to Xiao Shifu, "The old slave has seen the second lady. β
Xiao Shi turned his head, and looked at her coldly at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "Mama Kang came over this time, I don't know what's going on?" β
Mama Kang saluted again, and then repeated the old lady's instructions.
After Xiao Shi listened, her eyes were instantly split, she clenched her fists under her wide sleeves tightly, and endured it desperately, so that she didn't burst out, "I know!" She said in a cold voice, "I won't bury my poems in the Lu Jiayuan Mausoleum, you let the old lady put a hundred hearts." β
"In that case, the old slave will go back to give the old lady a life first, and the second lady will mourn!" With that, she turned to leave.
What she didn't know was that as soon as she left with her front foot, Xiao Shi held Lu Nianshi's hand with her back foot, and with tears in her eyes, she said decisively, "Shi'er, you can go with confidence, my mother promised you, it won't be long before someone from the mansion will accompany you." Those who hurt you, my mother will not let any of them go. β
"Shi'er, you believe in your mother." As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently closed Lu Nianshi's eyes.
In the National Teacher's Mansion, Lu Nianjin was a little surprised when she learned that Lu Nianshi's death was neither mourning nor buried in the Lu Jiayuan Mausoleum, but before she could think about it, Aunt Wu walked in from outside with joy.
"What's wrong?" She stood up, looked at Aunt Wu's worried face, and asked quickly, "But Xile is not feeling well." β
Aunt Wu snorted with red eyes, "This kid has been unwell since last night, the slave and maid have seen the doctor, and the doctor has also prescribed medicine, but it doesn't seem to have any effect." When I woke up in the morning, it was even worse. β
"Come, give it to me," Lu Nianjin stretched out his hand to Aunt Wu, who hurriedly handed over the joy.
Lu Nianjin put the child on the couch, untied the swaddling clothes on her body, carefully checked her, and explained to Aunt Wu, "It's a lung disease," paused, and said, "The medicine is easy to prescribe, but Xile is weak, and it is definitely not possible to feed the medicine directly, I am afraid that I have to find a nurse for her, let the nurse take the medicine first, and then feed her the milk." β
"Then the princess prescribes medicine, and the slave will go outside to find the nurse and come back!" Aunt Wu said that she was about to walk out.
Lu Nianjin hurriedly stopped her, "The nurse outside is mixed, I'm afraid that the bottom is not clean, so let's go back and tell the prince and ask him to bring one back from the palace." β
"The slave and maid thanked the princess for the joy of the girl," Aunt Wu thanked gratefully.
Lu Nianjin waved his hand, "You come over and press the joy, I'll help her get a needle first." β
"Yes," Aunt Wu agreed, walked over, carefully pressed Xile's legs and hands, and Lu Nianjin took out the needle bag, twisted the silver needle, and pierced the child's lung meridians.
After two quarters of an hour, the needle was pricked, and the joyful crying faded until he fell asleep.
"Carry her back." Lu Nianjin picked up the baby girl in swaddling clothes and handed it to Aunt Wu, who retreated with great gratitude.
Lu Nianjin watched her leave, raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Yun Jiang looked at the master's appearance, hurriedly helped her sit down, and brought rose dew over, "Girl, moisten your mouth." β
Lu Nianjin took a sip of the rose dew, put the teacup in his hand, and said about the Chengguo Mansion, "How did you check the peacock hairpin that asked you to check last time?" β
Yun Jiang heard her ask about this, shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue yet." β
"What about the matter of the Marquis of Xinyang?"
"This is to find out some eyebrows, the beginning of the Xinyang Marquis Mansion people infected with a vicious disease, it was a year after the old lady of the Chengguo Mansion arrived at the Wei family. At that time, Miss Wei Ruyi had been married to Chengguo Gong for several years, but her health did not seem to be very good, so the old lady of Chengguo Mansion proposed to go to the temple to pray for Miss Wei. β
"She stayed in the temple for nearly a year, and I heard the servant of the Xinyang Hou Mansion at that time say that when the old lady of the Chengguo Mansion returned to the Xinyang Hou Mansion, her legs and feet were slightly lame, and when she bathed at night, that leg was even more miserable."
"It was also because of this incident that she became a filial daughter with a reputation in the capital, and after the Xinyang Marquis Mansion was full of deaths, she took over the marriage contract as Miss Biao and became the wife of the prince of the Guogong Mansion."
"I know all of this," Lu Nianjin's index finger flexed slightly, and he tapped lightly on the table for a while, "The queen mother wrote everything on the codex given to me, what I want to know now, when the Xinyang Marquis Mansion was destroyed, did it have anything to do with the old lady of Chengguo." β
Yun Jiang heard Lu Nianjin say this, and the whole person was stunned, "The girl is actually ...... It is suspected that the destruction of the Xinyang Marquis Mansion was done by the old lady of Chengguo? β
Lu Nianjin nodded, "Don't hide it, the peacock hairpin I asked you to find was originally a big murderous thing, if that thing was buried in one place, within three years, all the people in that house would definitely die." β
"Huanxi, just died on that peacock hairpin."
"At that time, the old lady wanted to use the hairpin to murder me, but in Huanxi Xincheng, Chen Fu gave her a love token, she actually put it close to her chest every day, but in one day and one night, she completely broke her body."
"I see." Yun Jiang finally understood where Huanxi's illness came from, her face was full of compassion and hatred, and she arched her hand vigorously, "Rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely step up the investigation and find the whereabouts of the peacock hairpin as soon as possible." In addition, the affairs of the Marquis of Xinyang, the slaves and maids will also keep an eye on it every day. β
"Hmm," Lu Nianjin nodded.
As the two were talking this, Xiao Xun came back from outside, he walked up to Lu Nianjin and smiled slightly, "What are you talking about?" β
"Nothing." Lu Nianjin shook his head, then looked at the paper scroll in his hand and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" β
"The map of the Wisteria Mansion you want," he said, he handed over the paper scroll, Lu Nianjin opened it and took a look, only to see that the three-dimensional map of the Wisteria Mansion was depicted on it, and the mode of transformation was marked on many grounds.
"What is this?" She asked, pointing to one of them, pulling him along.
Xiao Xun glanced at it and said, "Gather wealth." β
"And what about here?"
"Relief Array."
"Hereβ"
"Guests are coming."
"Hey, and this formation?"
"Or else?" Xiao Xun raised his hand and tapped it on her forehead, "You find a reliable person to keep an eye on the arrangement of these formations, if there is no problem, I will ensure that your Wisteria Mansion will be like a cloud of visitors." β
"Thank you, Prince!" Lu Nianjin said to him with crooked eyebrows, and then became entangled again, "But who are you going to find?" β
Xiao Xun thought for a while, "Mrs. Wan has already returned to Wanfu, and she will never show up to help you take care of your business in the future, do you want me to lend you a few people?" β
"......" Lu Nianjin pondered and was about to say yes, when Yun Shu walked in from outside and stepped forward and said, "Crown Princess, Mrs. Wan brought the little master and young lady of the Wan family to visit, do you want to see them now?" β
When Lu Nianjin heard this, he turned his head to look at Xiao Xun, "Can you avoid it?" β
Xiao Xun nodded helplessly, "Whatever you want!" So saying, he walked towards the western second room......
Lu Nianjin glanced at Yun Shu with a smile, "Take Mrs. Wan to the flower hall!" β
"Yes, Crown Princess," Yun Shu agreed and withdrew.
Lu Nianjin changed his clothes under Yun Jiang's service, and then walked to the flower hall.
When she arrived at the flower hall, Zhang's peace had already arrived.
The two children are older, they no longer need to be swaddled, and they are both wearing red auspicious cloud clothes, which look beautiful and festive.
"Crown Princess!" Seeing Lu Nianjin coming, Zhang got up and saluted, and taught the two children to call people.
The two children were delivered by Lu Nianjin personally, and in the dark, they were destined to be very close to her, especially An'er, holding Lu Nianjin and a "aunt", calling it crisp and sweet, Lu Nianjin was very happy, and specially let people open the warehouse and pick out a lot of children to play with the two children.
The two children were very young and quickly tired.
Lu Nianjin asked the child to be carried to the back hall to rest, then took a sip of the flower tea on the table, looked at the Zhang family and asked, "After returning to Wanfu, how does Madam feel?" β
"Princess Lao is worried," Zhang first got up and saluted, and then said, "That's it, Wanzhong and I have long lost the friendship between husband and wife, but we are just staying up for Ping'er and An'er." β
"Is it worth it?"
"Nature is worth it."
"That's good," Lu Nianjin nodded, and then, she asked again, "Over there in Wisteria Mansion, do you want to continue to manage, or ...... Completely out of the way? β
"Naturally, it's time to take care of it," Zhang looked at Lu Nianjin seriously, and replied, "I told the crown princess a long time ago that I will not live up to your trust, and I have counted this sentence even now." However, it is inconvenient for me to leave the house in the past year, I am afraid that the crown princess will have to send someone to sit in the town, and after a year, I will sort out the affairs of the ten thousand families and go back. β
"With your words, I'm relieved." Lu Nianjin nodded.
Zhang smiled back at her, his eyes were already a little damp, "With a benefactor like the crown princess, I am also at ease, and I will be at ease for the rest of my life." β
When the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Because it is now inconvenient for the Zhang family to go out, Lu Nianjin took pity on her and deliberately left her a meal.
Xiao Xun watched this scene through the hollow screen, his eyes became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't wait to drag Lu Nianjin over.
He, the crown princess, doesn't know what to think, he usually looks cold at him, but he is used to laughing at outsiders.
The Zhang family stayed in the National Teacher's Mansion until the twilight Sihe did not leave, Lu Nianjin returned to the bedroom from the flower hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he was pressed by Xiao Xun on the door and kissed.
Lu Nianjin was startled by his sudden movements, and it took a while before he reacted and responded to him jerkyly.
At the end of the kiss, Lu Nianjin smiled shyly, while Xiao Xun stared at her for a moment, her eyes were wet with affection, "Jin'er, when can you ignore other people's idle affairs and accompany me more?" β
Lu Nianjin looked stunned when he was accused, raised his head to look into his eyes, and asked rhetorically, "When did I meddle in my business?" β
"Mrs. Wan, Huo Xiao, Xiao Wanping...... They're all idle business. β
"Also, you also saved Shen and the four of their brothers, if I guessed correctly, Xiao Zhenyun is also here to come back."
Lu Nianjin felt a chill in her back when she heard Xiao Zhenyun's name, she shrank back, and said unhappily, "What does it matter to me if he doesn't come back, don't press anything on me." β
"He's just for you!" Xiao Xun gritted his teeth and said, "I've found it all out, Jiaolan, Cunju, Luomei, and Xiuzhu were all bought by him, and they came to the National Teacher's Mansion to find me unhappy, and in his previous life, he knew that you only had me in your heart, and you and I were in deep love, and he also designed me to dig out the flesh of my heart to give you medicine." β
His last words exploded in Lu Nianjin's heart like thunder, she raised her head and looked at him in shock and sadness, "You, what did you say?" You dug into my heart to give me medicine, it was designed by Xiao Zhenyun? β
Xiao Xun nodded, tightly took Lu Nianjin into his arms, and said in a low voice, "He's a madman." β
Lu Nianjin couldn't stop her eyes, she sobbed lowly, "Ah Xun, why are you so stupid, in this world, there is no prescription at all, you must be guided by the heart of a living person, why are you so stupid!" β
"I just want you to live."
Xiao Xun let go of her, lowered his head, looked into her eyes, wiped her tears while helping her, and said in a dumb voice, "Jin'er, even if I have to exchange my life for my life, I am willing to do it." β
When Lu Nianjin heard her say this, he cried even more fiercely.
Xiao Xun lowered his head, one by one, and gently kissed away the tears on her face.
Later, I don't know who took the initiative, the two kissed each other again, their lips and teeth intertwined, inseparable......
Two days later, the South Autumn Courtyard of the Chengguo Mansion.
Lu Jiayi finally woke up after three days and two nights of sleep, she opened her eyes, first stared blankly at the top of the tent for a while, and then those dirty memories flooded in like a tide.
"Ahhh
The old lady heard her daughter's cry and walked in from outside, she sat down on the edge of the bed with tears, hugged Lu Jiayi tightly in her arms, and said, "Jiayi, my son doesn't cry, my son doesn't cry, you still have a mother, you still have a mother!" β
"Mother-" Lu Jiayi screamed for a long time before she screamed in a low voice, she looked at the old lady's eyes, her eyes were red, and she said hysterically, "Why, why did I encounter such a thing, who is framing me, who is it!" β
"Jiayi, the person who harmed you, my mother has already disposed of her," the old lady cried bitterly and buried her head in Lu Jiayi's neck socket and said.
"Who is it?" Lu Jiayi clenched her fists and asked through gritted teeth.
The old lady closed her eyes and said coldly, "Yes...... Lu Nianshi. β
"Lu Nianshi?" When Lu Jiayi heard this name, her eyes burned with raging anger, "How did my mother deal with her, this slut who killed a thousand knives, I will definitely cut her with a thousand knives, so that she can't survive and die, I want her to also taste the taste of being the spiritual position of those people." β
"She's dead, she's been beaten to death with fifty boards."
"It's cheaper for her!" Lu Jiayi said resentfully, paused, and said, "No, I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling!" With that, he pulled his leg and walked under the bed.
The old lady hurriedly pressed her and asked nervously, "Jiayi, you are recovering from a serious illness, what are you going to do?" β
"I'm going to find Lu Nianshi," Lu Jiayi stared at the old lady and said, "I want the mastiff to bite her body all over the place, I don't want her to be buried after she hurts me." β
When the old lady heard her daughter say this, she thought to herself, so that she could not stop her, but let the two mastiffs in the backyard be brought over.
In this way, Lu Jiayi rushed to Zijin Courtyard with people and mastiffs.
In the courtyard of Zijin, Xiao was burning scriptures for her daughter, and suddenly heard messy footsteps, she subconsciously looked back, but saw Lu Jiayi, who was depressed, leading two mastiffs and coming towards the mourning hall with a menacing attitude.
She watched this scene, and for some reason, a bad premonition suddenly floated in her heart.
"Someone, close the door, close the door!" She shouted at the two maids at the door, but it was too late, and before the maids could react, Lu Jiayi led someone to break in from the outside, she didn't look at Xiao, she directly patted the two mastiffs under her hand, and scolded, "Go, tear Lu Nianshi's slut apart for me!" β
The mastiff had already asked Lu Nianshi about the smell of his clothes in advance, so he immediately broke free from the rope and ran forward......
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Jiayi was relieved and returned home triumphantly.
Xiao Shi, on the other hand, fell to the ground with her face covered in blood, her eyes widened, and she was unable to get up to protect her daughter.
In the Nanqiu courtyard, the old lady finally waited for her daughter to come back, and she twisted the Buddhist beads to greet her, "My son is back, is he injured?" β
"Nope." Lu Jiayi said coldly, ignoring the old lady's kindness, she pulled her legs and walked towards the east room where she lived temporarily, the old lady wanted to follow, but she was closed.
"Jiayi," she was standing outside, and wanted to say something more, but Lu Jiayi in the house didn't give her this opportunity, and directly became irritable, "I'm in a bad mood, don't bother me!" β
The old lady pursed her lips, put down her hand, turned around, and walked out dejectedly.
"By the way, how is Lu Nianyun's girl?" After returning to the bedroom, the old lady asked Mama Kang with a gloomy face.
Mama Kang bowed and replied, "Old lady, after the third lady was tortured, she was confined by the second lady, and without a doctor, she could only survive for life." β
The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "But I asked her for a doctor." β
"Old lady?" Mama Kang looked puzzled.
The old lady sneered and said, "Jiayi has been hit hard by this, and it is inevitable that she will often be depressed in the future. β
Mama Kang understood what the old lady meant, "What you are worried about is that the old slave will find a doctor and go to the West Courtyard to see the third lady." β
"Go ahead," the old lady waved her hand.
With the doctor's service, Lu Nianyun's body slowly improved.
As the old lady imagined, Lu Jiayi really used Lu Nianyun as a punching bag, tormenting her with new tricks every day.
In addition, after Lu Nianshi was taken away by the Xiao family for burial, she took Lu Nianyun's Geng post and engaged her to the sixth son of Yongning Bofu.
In the West Courtyard, when Lu Nianyun learned about this, there was a deep depression under his injured eyelids.
Chunhuan cautiously called "Miss" from the side, "What can you do now?" Who doesn't know that this sixth prince is a doomed person! He is so attentive, in case, he still wants Miss you to bury him! β
Lu Nianyun was also afraid of this.
She pursed her lips vigorously, and after a long time, she looked at Chunhuan and said, "Chunhuan, you can do me a favor." β
"Girl, please."
"Take a trip to Nanqiu Courtyard for me, tell my grandmother, and say that my wedding is imminent, and I want to go out of the house to choose a few dowries for myself."
"Out of the house?" Chunhuan raised an eyebrow, "Is Miss trying to escape?" β
"No," Lu Nianyun shook his head, paused, and urged her again, "Go quickly, I'll wait for your good news!" β
"Yes, Miss!" Chunhuan agreed, glanced at his young lady distressedly, and then walked out without looking back......
Lu Nianyun watched her leave, and the corners of her broken mouth hooked up a mocking smile.
