Chapter Ninety-Six: The True Form Is Revealed
After settling her, Bai Qiaoxuan began to heal himself, he saw that except for a wooden thorn on his left abdomen, the rest were some abrasions and bruises after the bruise, so he stuffed the towel into his mouth, held the herbs in his left hand, and held the wooden thorn in his right hand, and pulled the wooden thorn out of his body, and large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, crossing his pale face......
The cicadas outside the room were still "knowing, knowing", and I don't know how long they had been calling, Bai Qiaoxuan finally recovered from the severe pain, and said to the frightened sister-in-law: "Thank you sister-in-law for taking us in." It's okay already, you don't have to be scared anymore. ”
The sister-in-law was still shaking, and she said tremblingly: "You can only stay here for one night at most, and tomorrow my man will come back from the city." ”
Bai Qiaoxuan replied: "I know." ”
The sister-in-law went to sleep next door, Bai Qiaoxuan turned around and looked at Tong Yuqing in a coma, held her hand tightly, and leaned on the side of the bed to sleep. Although this thatched cottage in the forest is far less comfortable than Jindu Villa, this is the most restful night Bai Qiaoxuan has slept in two years. It's a pity that all he had were sweet dreams, but Tong Yuqing on the side had nightmares and woke up before he was in Yin.
When she saw Bai Qiaoxuan staying by her side safely and soundly, a boulder in her heart fell to the ground, and she just wanted to raise her hand to cover him with the quilt, but the pain on her back made her sweat coldly. Bai Qiaoxuan was woken up by her movements, the two looked at each other, Tong Yuqing burst into tears, Bai Qiaoxuan hugged her into his arms and comforted softly: "It's okay...... It's all gone......"
Tong Yuqing hugged him and cried, slowly, her reason returned to her mind, and she wanted to let go of him, but she was hugged tightly by him, "Yuqing, let's go, while they haven't found us yet, let's go away and fly high." I'll take you out of Puxinzhou, to a place where no one knows us, and start over. They thought that if we died, it wouldn't involve Yuhao, and it wouldn't involve my family. Come with me, okay? ”
Tong Yuqing cried more and more, and asked with a sobbing voice after a while, "...... It's true...... Can you escape? ”
Bai Qiaoxuan replied softly: "It's man-made, as long as we want to, there will always be a way." ”
Tong Yuqing cried again, "I'm not talking about the body, it's about the heart...... You can really let go of the old father and sister and ...... Luhi? She's so nice to you...... Are you really willing to leave her behind......"
A trace of hesitation flashed in Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes, and just as he was about to speak, Tong Yuqing put his index finger to his lips, "You don't have to say anything, I understand and understand, so I don't blame you." If it was a year ago, we asked each other this question, whether we wanted to go away together, we would not have the slightest hesitation, but now, we will all have a moment of hesitation before agreeing to each other, and this is the difference. This distinction is not inconsequential, but lethal. It will make us live in remorse and self-blame every moment after escaping from Puxinzhou, it will wear out all the friendship between us, and we will no longer be able to face each other. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan curled up in pain, Tong Yuqing put the problem that the two of them had been avoiding for more than a year in front of him, so that he could not avoid it, so he could only let her peel off the cocoon little by little, "Qiao Xuan, admit it, since the day you and I got married, our road has come to an end." What we can't escape is not Lu Tiansheng, nor Zhong Shunhua, but ourselves. ”
After a long silence, Bai Qiaoxuan finally spoke, his voice was full of vicissitudes and helplessness, "Then what should we do......
Tong Yuqing's voice was also empty and weak, "Since we have all changed, let's become a little more thorough." Ziting has never wanted to get involved in the open and secret battles in Jindu, and I will return to the island of Ningtai with him as he wishes. I will try hard and try hard, slowly learn to fall in love with him, and I will work hard and try hard, and slowly learn not to love you. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes were blood-red, "Can you really do it?" ”
Tong Yuqing replied categorically: "Yes." At least I'm not Qiu Zeyuan, nor Xin Daiyi, I won't be like them, who I recognize in my life. If it doesn't work in one year, it will be three years, if it doesn't work in three years, it will be five years, and if it doesn't work in five years, it will be ten years, and one day, I will forget you completely. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan's tears finally slipped down, and he cried and smiled: "Okay." Your temper is so bad, it won't take me five or ten years to forget you, and I guess as long as you don't appear in front of me, I will never remember you. ”
Tong Yuqing also laughed, "How good do you think you are?" ”
Before the words fell, Tong Yuqing felt uncomfortable all over her body, Bai Qiaoxuan was worried about the injury on her back and wanted to come forward to investigate, but as soon as he lifted the quilt, he felt that the quilt was not ordinary hot, so he touched her forehead, "Oh my God! Why is it so hot? You wait, I'll put a hot towel on you......"
After Bai Qiaoxuan put a hot towel on Tong Yuqing, he wrapped her tightly in the quilt, but she was still shivering, and Bai Qiaoxuan could only hold her in his arms. It didn't take long for a lot of voices to come from outside, and Bai Qiaoxuan sounded like he was looking for them, so he hurriedly put down Tong Yuqing and ran out to call someone.
The first to arrive were Lu Xi and Qing Ziting, Lu Xi saw Bai Qiaoxuan, threw himself directly into his arms, and shouted: "Qiao Xuan, I finally found you!" ”
Bai Qiaoxuan was touched by the wound on his left abdomen, and he shrank in pain, Lu Xi hurriedly let go of him, only then did he see the wound on his body, and exclaimed: "Are you injured?!" ”
Seeing Tong Yuqing, Qing Ziting didn't bother to pay attention to Bai Qiaoxuan's injury at all, he asked anxiously, "Qiao Xuan, what about Ruoxuan?" ”
As soon as Bai Qiaoxuan pointed to the grass house, he saw Qing Ziting flying in like a gust of wind, Qing Ziting saw Tong Yuqing trembling in the quilt, and hurriedly invited Mo Fen, who was accompanying her, to treat her. Mo Fen saw that the wound on Tong Yuqing's back was a little suppurated, and told Qing Ziting that she must rush to the hospital immediately. In this way, Qing Ziting hugged Tong Yuqing, Lu Xi helped Bai Qiaoxuan, and the group hurried to Jindu Hospital.
When Tong Yuqing woke up again, she was already lying on the hospital bed, and before she could see where she was, her hand had been held, "Ruojia, you finally woke up......
She tried her best to smile at Qing Ziting, slowly saw the things in front of her, and found that Lu Xi was also standing by the bedside, but her expression was a little strange, she fell back to Qing Ziting, and noticed that he was smiling a little reluctantly, and an extremely bad thought suddenly appeared in her heart.
She saw Qing Ziting sending Lu Xi out and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Qing Ziting's face was embarrassed, "When you were in a coma, you kept calling Bai Qiaoxuan's name......"
No wonder Luci doesn't look right! She thought it was Bai Qiaoxuan who showed the stuffing, but she didn't expect it to be her own fault! Looking at Luxi's appearance, it was obvious that he was already suspicious. Thinking of this, Tong Yuqing's heart beat wildly, she didn't dare to imagine how Lu Xi would react if she knew her beloved husband and why he married her......
Qing Ziting was obviously aware of the crisis, but just as he was powerless to stop the marriage a year ago, now he was powerless to prevent the matter from being revealed, he could only hold Tong Yuqing's hand firmly and said, "Ruojia, don't be afraid. Even if things really get out of hand, I'm here for everything, and you don't have to worry about everything. The only thing you have to do now is take care of your body, you know? ”
Tong Yuqing shook her head violently, "No." Zhong Shunhua already hates you to the core, if she grasps this matter and doesn't let go, you will be guilty of being lustful and bullying the king and ignoring your own sister. Your father's anger may not protect you. You must pretend that you don't know anything, put everything on me, and say I hide it from you......"
Qing Ziting stabilized the chattering Tong Yuqing, "What to do, I know what to do." Don't worry about it, I'll pour you a glass of water. ”
Tong Yuqing saw him like this, and knew that no matter what he said, he would have to carry everything on himself, and he could only argue with him then.
No matter what, you can't cope with the sickness bed, you have to get better as soon as possible!
Tong Yuqing said to herself, and after drinking the water handed by Qing Ziting, she lay down to rest, hoping that when the disaster came, she would have enough strength to face it.
Lu Xi, who was supported by her brother, was like a lonely ghost, floating on the corridor of the hospital, she didn't know how she got back to the ward, she only knew that when she saw Bai Qiaoxuan's concerned gaze, she felt that his eyes were extremely unfamiliar.
Bai Qiaoxuan also noticed her strangeness, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with the second sister-in-law? ”
Lu Xi sat down slowly and replied lightly: "No, she is fine." Just as you are worried about her safety and call her name in your dreams, she is also worried about your safety and calls your name in your dreams. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan's heart chuckled, "Xi'er......"
A tear suddenly wet Lu Xi's dress, and she cried out, "Qiao Xuan! You said that in order to save people, you did not take into account the difference between men and women, and treated her for gunshot wounds, I believe it. You said that you were chased too tightly and had nightmares, and I believe it. But can you tell me why those people have been chasing you down and driving you to the edge of the cliff, but instead of pushing you down, they have stopped there?! ”
This is also a suspicion that Bai Qiaoxuan has not figured out, he and Tong Yuqing originally thought that the purpose of those people was to kill them, but now it seems that it is obviously not.
Bai Qiaoxuan was in no mood to think about the true purpose of those people now, he cared more about Lu Xi than them, "What are you suspecting?" Do you think that it was me and Yuqing who hurt ourselves like this? ”
Lu Xi smiled bitterly: "You are finally willing to call her by her name in front of me...... Qiao Xuan, don't talk about responsibility, don't talk about morality, just for the sake of me loving you wholeheartedly, shouldn't you tell me the truth? ”
Only then did Bai Qiaoxuan understand that what Lu Xi wanted to explore was not the cause of their injuries at all, but the relationship between them. He couldn't laugh or cry, he even had a day to let Lu Xi go around, it was really feng shui in turns......
Thinking of this, Bai Qiaoxuan also sat down and asked softly, "What do you want to know?" ”
Lu Xi wiped away the tears on his face and asked directly, "Do you love Tong Yuqing?" ”
"Ciel, listen to me......"
Lu Xi interrupted Bai Qiaoxuan's words, "Just answer me, yes or no!" ”
Bai Qiaoxuan didn't want Lu Xi to be too stimulated, but when he heard her say this, he knew that she was already on the verge of collapse, so he didn't dare to go against her wishes anymore, and only answered a "yes".
Lu Xi bit his lower lip so that he didn't let himself cry, "Then does she love you?" ”
"Love."
Lu Xi laughed and cried for a while, completely unable to control his emotions, "Then why do you want to marry me?" ”
Bai Qiaoxuan wanted to hold her, but she pushed her away, "Don't touch me!" If you love her, why did you provoke me?! It turned out that what my mother said was true...... Why are you lying to me?! ”
Bai Qiaoxuan hugged her from behind, "Xi'er, calm down, things are not what you imagined, you listen to my explanation...... Yes! ”
Lu Xi bit Bai Qiaoxuan's arm fiercely, so that he had to let go of himself, Bai Qiaoxuan was seriously injured and had no power to chase her, in a hurry, he could only go to Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing to discuss countermeasures.
Not long after Tong Yuqing lay down, she saw Bai Qiaoxuan break in in with a panicked expression, and immediately asked, "Is it Lu Xi......?"
Before she could finish asking, Bai Qiaoxuan said: "I had a showdown with her, and now she runs out." Ziting, help me chase her, I'm afraid something will happen to her. ”
Qing Ziting was so angry that he pressed him against the wall, "You are so good at coaxing people on weekdays, why don't you coax at critical times?" Ruo Wan was taken out by you, and I haven't settled the account with you yet, but you hurt Xi'er too, I'll tell you! You'd better pray that she's safe or well, or I'll want you to be buried with you!" ”
After saying that, Qing Ziting immediately ran out to chase Lu Xi, and when he arrived at Bai Mansion, he happened to meet Lu Xi after packing his luggage and coming out, followed by Bai Ronghai and dozens of servants.
He ran up to his sister and said breathlessly, "It's okay if you're okay." What does this do? Where is the reason to move when there is a quarrel? And let Uncle Bai follow, what does this look like? Saying that, he took Lu Xi's luggage, "Let's go, go in with the second brother first, if there is anything to say, our brother and sister will go to the house and say." ”
Lu Xi thought that the second brother hadn't found out about Bai Qiaoxuan and Tong Yuqing, and he didn't have any grudge against him, so he obediently followed him back to the room.
Qing Ziting looked at Lu Xi's expression, grabbed her shoulders and said, "Xi'er, even if you don't believe Bai Qiaoxuan and your second sister-in-law, you have to believe in the second brother." The second brother can vouch to you with his own life, whether it was past, present, or future, it is impossible for the two of them to do anything to be sorry for you. ”
Luci was a little surprised, "You know? ”
Qing Ziting bowed slightly, and Lu Xi was even more shocked when he saw his reaction, "You already knew?" When did you find out? ”
Qing Ziting helped her sit down, "It doesn't matter when the second brother knows, what matters is ......"
Lu Xi's nerves are extremely sensitive now, and she said again and again: "No, no, this is important. It's a matter of whether she lied to you or whether you lied to me. ”
Qing Ziting was speechless for a while, and Lu Xi saw that he didn't answer for a long time, and his eyes turned red again, "Second brother...... You wouldn't know about the two of them, and marry her back home as if it was fine, and watch me marry again......"
Qing Ziting's lips twitched, and Lu Xi suddenly remembered that he had tried his best to prevent her from marrying Bai Qiaoxuan, "No wonder you asked me to stay away from Bai Qiaoxuan at that time, but why didn't you tell me the real reason?" You say he has ulterior motives, so what are your intentions?! What are your intentions?! ”
Qing Ziting didn't know how to confess all this to her sister, because the truth was really cruel to her......
Lu Xi couldn't stand his silence, pulled him up and walked out, Qing Ziting heard that his sister wanted to pull him to the Overseer Office to find his father, and knelt at her feet with a bang, Bai Ronghai, who was guarding outside, heard that the situation was not right, and hurriedly dismissed everyone in the hall, and personally called his son and asked him to go home quickly.
Qing Ziting didn't care about his face, and fell to the ground, begging Lu Xi all the time. But at this time, how can Lu Xi still have the sense to think deeply about the ins and outs of the matter? She kept yelling that if she didn't tell her the truth, she would definitely go to her father.
Qing Ziting saw that she was about to go out of the room, so she could only hug her leg and shout, "I said! I said......"
Lu Xi stopped, Qing Ziting told everything, Lu Xi followed his story, step by step, until finally there was no way to retreat, she could only shrink herself in a corner.
Bai Ronghai listened to the movement in his son's room, looked out, and when he saw that it was not only his son who came back, but also that Tong Yuqing, he hurriedly ran downstairs to stop him.
Bai Qiaoxuan received a slap from his father head-on, "Bastard!" Look at the good things you've done! I see that you don't drag me to death, you won't give up! What are you doing with bringing this woman back? Don't you think she caused enough trouble? ”
Tong Yuqing hugged Bai Qiaoxuan and said, "I'm sorry, uncle." It's all my fault, don't blame Qiao Xuan......"
Bai Ronghai scolded: "Don't pretend here!" If you still have a little self-knowledge, get back to your house! If you don't make trouble, I'll be Amitabha. ”
Tong Yuqing's cheeks were red when she was scolded, but Bai Qiaoxuan was beaten to regain a little sense, and said to Tong Yuqing: "Yuqing, don't blame my father, he is also in a hurry." ”
Tong Yuqing nodded, and Bai Qiaoxuan said again: "What my father said makes sense, if Lu Xi sees you at this time, something may not happen, you better go back to the house first and wait for news." ”
Tong Yuqing thought about it carefully, and returned to his mansion first as Bai Qiaoxuan said, and sent a few people to guard outside the gate of the Bai Mansion to report the movements in the Bai Mansion at any time.
Bai Qiaoxuan ran upstairs and rushed to his room, where he saw Qing Ziting kneeling on the ground and Lu Xi shrinking in the corner, and immediately realized that the matter had been completely revealed.
Bai Qiaoxuan wanted to help Qing Ziting stand up, but he refused, so he could only say to Lu Xi: "Xi'er, this matter is not your second brother's fault, everything is mine, it was I who dragged you into the quagmire shamelessly, if you want to resent, you can resent, hate me, don't be angry with others." ”
Saying that, Bai Qiaoxuan wanted to help Lu Xi up, but Lu Xi seemed to be extremely afraid of him, kept struggling, and shouted: "Yu Huan! Hello! ”
Yu Huan was already guarding not far away, and when he heard Lu Xi shouting like this, it didn't take long for him to enter the room, only to see Lu Xi crawling on the ground in embarrassment, trying to break free from Bai Qiaoxuan's shackles and grab his clothes. Yu Huan hurriedly rushed to Lu Xi, crying and asking, "Young grandma, what's wrong?" ”
Like a drowning man, Lu Xi finally grasped a life-saving straw and kept saying, "Yuhuan save me!" Take me home......"
Yu Huan subconsciously looked at Bai Qiaoxuan, Bai Qiaoxuan didn't dare to force Lu Xi anymore, so he could only let go of her and said loudly: "I'll let you go home, let you go home, don't be afraid, I'll send you downstairs......"
Luci was still panicked, "Don't! Don't touch me! Yu Huan, please take me home......"
Bai Qiaoxuan was extremely helpless, so he could only ask Yu Huan to take care of Lu Xi, and watched them go downstairs, get in the car, and leave the hospital......
Qing Ziting saw her sister's helpless appearance, blamed herself, and whispered: "It's all my ......"
Bai Qiaoxuan sighed: "Now is not the time to be held accountable, let's think about what to do in the future." When Ci'er returns to the Overseer's Mansion, Zhong Shunhua will definitely ask why, maybe in just an hour, she will know everything. If she knows, your father will know soon. ”
Qing Ziting regretted it, "I should have thought that paper can't contain fire." Sooner or later, Ciel will learn the truth. If you knew today, why bother in the first place? At that time, I should have told my father all those thoughts of you, so that at least I wouldn't hurt Xi'er, and I wouldn't lose like I am now. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan said angrily: "What's the use of talking about this now? It's a big deal, I will bear it with all my might, and it will never involve you and Yuqing. ”
Hearing Bai Qiaoxuan say this, Qing Ziting considered the topic, "No! You can't have anything, and you can't have anything. So I went and begged my father to let us go. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan hurriedly grabbed him, "The situation has not yet developed to the point where you have no choice but to throw yourself into the net." With Xi'er's friendship with you and me, she may not tell Zhong Shunhua the truth. Even if she really tells the truth, your father may not dispose of us, because Yuqing and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, is he going to deal with us for an inexplicable love word? Take 10,000 steps back, even if he really wants to deal with us, I will take all the punishment that will be imposed on Yuqing on myself, so you don't have to plead at all. Your father is in charge of everything, and if he goes to him for a little family matter that his children quarrel about, he may not pay attention to it. ”
Qing Ziting asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”
Bai Qiaoxuan replied: "Wait and see what happens." Rest assured, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Even if you can't handle it, aren't there still me and Yuqing? You should go back to the house first and take care of Yuqing's body, this is the top priority. ”
Qing Ziting returned to the mansion suspiciously, and told Tong Yuqing Bai Qiaoxuan's thoughts, Tong Yuqing said after hearing it: "We will go to see Xi'er now, but I am afraid that she will not want to see her." Why don't we write a letter and let Yu Huan pass it on to her. ”
Qing Ziting asked, "Will she read our letter?" ”
