Chapter 179: Terminally Ill
The next day, an elegant and beautiful figure came to the deserted Yirong courtyard early.
"The third miss is really a trustworthy person, the concubine really doesn't know how to thank you, Miss Nine was so uncomfortable last night that she didn't close her eyes all night, and the concubine was really distressed......"
Aunt Du greeted her gratefully, Xia Qianwei looked at her red eyes, and it didn't look like she had rested well.
This courtyard was extremely cold, as if everything around it was covered with a layer of gray, which was in stark contrast to the decent and lively when Xia Heng was still there, and there was a strong sense of what was wrong with people.
Xia Qianwei was led into the house, a strong smell of medicine accompanied by the cold air came to her face, she looked around the empty room, except for the table, chair and coffee table, there was no decoration.
On the old dresser, there was only a bronze mirror, and there was no rouge gouache to be seen, and there was no trace of what a daughter's boudoir should look like.
About this Ninth Lady who lives in a simple place, Xia Qianwei heard the most about her illness, but looking at everything in front of her, she couldn't help but feel depressed.
In such a lifeless environment, what kind of temperament can people be bored?
A weak cough called back Xia Qianwei's thoughts, Aunt Du exclaimed in surprise and hurried to the couch, rolled up the hanging curtains, and a slender arm like a willow branch that lay flat outside the futon immediately jumped into Xia Qianwei's eyes.
In front of him was a pale and purple face, and his facial features, which were as pale as ink paintings, were covered with a layer of pitiful sickness, like a water lotus that had just been baptized by a storm, as if it could wither and dissipate at any time.
"Poor boy, quick, open your eyes and see who's coming?"
Aunt Du gently stroked the soft hair on Xia Xiang's cheeks, her eyes were full of deep distress, and the immature girl on the couch opened her heavy eyes faintly, and a beautiful face was immediately reflected in her indifferent eyes.
"Three, third sister?"
This is the first time Xia Xiang has seen Xia Qianwei's appearance after her makeover, there seems to be a faint dark light in her eyes, and she quickly disappeared in a trembling.
Struggling to get up, Xia Qianwei had already stepped forward to stop her, "The ninth sister is weak, so she is lying down." ”
However, as soon as her fingertips touched Xia Xiang's skin, Xia Qianwei's brows frowned, so cold! A kind of coldness that pierced her heart and lungs!
She immediately caught the girl's pulse, and Aunt Du on the side clenched her hand in her sleeve a little nervously, until she opened her mouth in confusion, "Ninth sister has been cold recently?"
Xia Xiang's body was obviously eroded by the extreme cold, frostbitten viscera, Xia Qianwei had only met such a patient among the poorly clothed refugees, they had no fixed place to eat, and they couldn't withstand the severe winter snow, but they could look at the girl in front of them.
Although this room is not warm enough, it is more than a little better than the bamboo garden that was treated coldly in the past, and there are always more clothes and a few sips of hot tea, so as not to make Xia Xiang look like this.
Strange.
"Ahem, Xiang'er slipped and fell unconscious in the yard a few days ago, and was found by the maid a few hours later, and it was snowing heavily that day......"
"This child is because of the matter of the sixth young master, she is so sad that she can't give up, she doesn't hurt anyone, there is a girl waiting in the yard, and she blames the concubine for not cheering up enough, so she has suffered so much, fortunately she was discovered, otherwise her life would be gone!"
Aunt Du wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her cuffs, which sounded like it was really not easy for Miss Nine.
At this time, Xia Xiang's voice was as faint as the last candle, "Third and third sister, my sister is not saved?"
Seeing her appearance, Xia Qianwei immediately softened her tone, "In addition to chills, are there any other discomforts?"
I saw Xia Xiang lowering her eyes, and her little hand weakly reached into the futon and touched it, "Xiang'er feels that the two legs don't seem to be her own......"
Xia Qianwei fell into silence for a while, and from her pulse, this little girl has been sick for a long time, although she has been conditioned with medicine for many years, and she has improved before, but the medicine is poisonous, and her foundation has long been damaged.
And the woman is the most afraid of cold, this cold is extremely fierce has hurt her roots, so weak can no longer use a great tonic medicine, can only make up for her losses little by little, and has a profound impact on her future heirs.
"Ninth sister, don't worry, just keep warm and conditioned, and it will be back to the same as before. ”
Xia Qianwei comforted, and then a look signaled, and Aunt Du immediately withdrew from the house with her.
As Xia Xiang's biological mother, she felt the need to let the other party know the truth.
"Aunt Du will have to take care of Miss Nine carefully in the future, this accident is undoubtedly worse, if it is not good to recuperate, I am afraid she will ...... Even if it can be cured, it will be difficult to conceive children in the future. ”
Aunt Du, who was originally unintentional about Xia Xiang's condition, didn't react for a while when she heard this, she was stunned for a long time, "What did the third and third miss say?"
Catching up with Xia Qianwei's silent eyes, Aunt Du smiled stiffly, "Why, how can it be, Miss Nine is still young......
Her body trembled slightly, and a touch of lust crossed her eyes, and then she raised her eyes pleadingly, "Third Miss have pity on her, now the old lady and the general don't care about our mother and daughter at all, only the third miss can save her!"
"Aunt Du is not in a hurry, grandmother has always been kind, Qianwei will go back to prescribe a prescription, and she will definitely use the best medicine for the ninth sister. ”
Aunt Du thanked her excitedly, and then cautiously glanced at the picturesque behind Xia Qianwei.
"Now there are only a few people in Yirong's courtyard, I wonder if the third miss would like to call a maidservant to help take care of Miss Nine?"
"Which girl does Aunt Du think is suitable?"
"It's better to be like an eyebrow, although she is not as smart as the picturesque girl, but she is also a careful one, and the chores in the Bihe courtyard can be handed over to other people to do......"
In the eyes of others, now Xia Qianwei's house is only left with a painter to serve, although Rumei, who had made a big mistake, was not killed, but was sent to do the rough work of suffering, which is obviously a dispensable existence.
Xia Qianwei's heart moved, looking at Aunt Du's somewhat apprehensive expression, and then smiled generously, "It's good that Aunt Du doesn't think she's stupid." ”
I saw that the other party was happy, "How dare you dislike the concubine, thank you for the great kindness of the third lady!"
Aunt Du flattered her for a while before sending Xia Qianwei out of Yirong Courtyard, but as soon as she turned around, she saw that Xia Xiang was already standing at the door of the house.
She was as weak as a floating catkins, and she endured the sharp pain like pins and needles in her numb legs, and tears had already crossed her poor little face.
"Auntie, isn't Xiang'er ...... Can't have children of your own?"
Aunt Du's face changed, and then she turned around and saw that Xia Qianwei had already walked away, and immediately stepped forward to take Xia Xiang into her arms, her eyes were gloomy, "Silly child, can Xia Qianwei's words be believed, she just wants to exaggerate your condition to hit our mother and daughter, even if it is true, this account, my aunt will double it for you!"
Yes, she will definitely make these people pay a terrible price, she wants to use Xia Qianwei's flesh and blood to sacrifice the sixth young master's spirit in the sky!
