Chapter Seventy-Eight: Completely Dead
The woman in the white dress led the child, and under the strange gaze of everyone in the garden, she slowly retreated to the outside of the Gui Garden.
"It's all to blame for the concubine's lack of discipline, and the Qinglou woman can't remember the rules, forgive me!" The mean woman holding the white cat pretended to apologize to the guests in the garden.
"Madame is too worried!"
"yes!"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
"Master Hou is really married to a virtuous helper!"
The eyes of the woman in the white dress were like a pool of stagnant water, even if she heard the insult of the mean woman behind her, her eyes could not be flooded with the slightest wave.
An Heng's consciousness also followed the woman in the white dress out of Gui Garden.
"Father, why are they reprimanding Mother?" The young boy shook the arm of the woman in the white dress and asked aggrievedly.
The woman in the white dress looked down at her child, and her lifeless eyes shone with a hint of brilliance.
"Yi'er, you're still young, you'll know when you grow up!" The woman in the white dress touched the child's head lovingly.
The young boy looked at the woman in the white dress as if he didn't understand, and although he was still young, he felt as if he shouldn't continue to ask this question.
Walking through the corridor, the woman in the white dress led the child to a small remote courtyard in the northwest corner of the mansion.
It is indeed a little inappropriate for such a small courtyard to appear in such a large mansion.
The weather in the small courtyard is depressed, there are many weeds growing outside the courtyard, the bricks and tiles on the roof are also a little dilapidated, there are no servants in the courtyard, and the rooms are even more simple, except for the old beds, tables, chairs, there is no other decoration.
"I hate my father!" As he fasted into the house, the toddler pouted and said angrily.
When the woman in the white dress heard this, she paused, then slowly squatted down, looked into the eyes of the young child and said softly: "Yi'er, promise your mother, don't say this in front of anyone in the future." ”
"Why?" The young child looked at the woman in the white dress with bewilderment.
The woman in the white dress looked at the young child gently, and said earnestly: "There is no reason, don't let the mother worry, okay?" ”
The young boy nodded obediently, in fact, he didn't understand what his mother meant, but he had never seen his mother speak to him in such a tone, and he knew that he should promise his mother first, and he couldn't make his mother sad.
When the woman in the white dress heard this, she gently pinched the child's face and laughed happily.
As soon as the door was closed, the pale face of the woman in the white dress suddenly flushed with a sickly flush, and her body trembled, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth.
The blood dripped down the smooth and white chin and onto the dusty white dress, blooming poignant blood flowers.
The woman in the white dress looked at the door weakly, gasping for breath, and seemed to be a little breathless.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" The woman in the white dress suddenly vomited blood, frightening the young child.
The toddler looked at his mother with a pained face in front of him, bewildered.
"Don't worry, Yi'er, mother is fine!" The woman in the white dress struggled to her feet and staggered towards the bed.
The toddler took his mother's somewhat cold palm and followed her closely.
The woman in the white dress had just laid down on the bed, and another mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth, and the blood dripped down the corner of her mouth onto the bed.
"Mother, are you sick, I'll go find Steward Wu!" The toddler was about to run out of the door with a crying voice.
The woman in the white dress struggled to pull the child's clothes and said softly: "Yi'er, don't go, mother is just too tired, just rest for a while!" ”
"Really?" The young child looked at the woman in the white dress with tears in her eyes and said worriedly.
"Really, when did Mother lie to you!" The woman in the white dress struggled a little.
However, after the woman in the white dress vomited these two mouthfuls of blood, she really didn't vomit blood anymore, which also made the young child believe that his mother might be really tired.
The toddler lay on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on his sleeping mother, and before he knew it, he was also asleep on the edge of the bed.
In this way, another three days passed, and the woman in the white dress in the middle vomited blood several times, and now she was unable to get up.
The whole mansion also knew the news that the woman in the white dress had vomited blood many times and was lying on the bed and couldn't get up.
In the past few days, only the old housekeeper will bring some food every day, so that the mother and son will not starve to death.
No one had ever been to the courtyard again, and the man had not been to the courtyard once.
On the fourth day, in a room that was richly decorated, very atmospheric.
A maid stood in front of a mean woman with a cup of ginseng tea and her head bowed.
The mean woman took out a bag of things and slowly poured it into the ginseng tea, and then stared at the maid with cold eyes and ordered: "You have to see that little slut drink it with your own eyes, you know?" ”
"Yes, ma'am!" The maid bowed her head.
At this time, in a study of this mansion, a man in a brocade robe stared at a painting on the wall with a somewhat complicated look.
This painting is a plum blossom.
In the ice and snow, a few plum blossoms bloom in the ice and snow, and the ice muscles and jade bones stand proudly in the snow.
It seems to be the same as the plum blossoms embroidered on the white dress women's dress.
At this time, the old housekeeper knocked on the door and came in, glanced at the man who was looking at the painting, bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, Madame sent a cup of tea over there!" ”
When the man in brocade clothes heard this, his complicated eyes gradually returned to the ancient well Wubo of the past, and after being silent for two seconds, he said in a cold tone: "I know, you just go and bring Yi'er out!" ”
"Yes!" The old housekeeper lowered his eyebrows and slowly withdrew from the study.
The man in brocade clothes looked at the plum blossom in front of him and muttered: "You are useless, mess with my rules, no wonder me!" ”
In the dilapidated courtyard in the northwest corner, a woman in a white dress leaned on the bed with a bloodless face.
The maid came from the mean woman, holding ginseng tea, and stood respectfully in front of the bed of the woman in the white dress.
"The master mother heard that you are sick, madam, and specially asked the slave to bring a cup of ginseng tea to replenish your body!" The maid bowed her head and bowed.
The woman in the white dress took a deep look at the ginseng tea and said, "I know, thank you for my kindness, the ginseng tea will be put aside first, and I will get up and drink it later!" ”
Hearing this, the maid's eyes flickered a little and said, "Madame, let's drink it while it's hot, otherwise the ginseng tea will be cold after a while!" ”
"I don't want to drink it now, you go down first!"
"Ahem......" The woman in the white dress coughed again.
"Madame, let's drink it while it's hot now, don't waste the heart of the mistress." The maid held the ginseng tea and did not give way.
"Didn't you hear my mother saying she didn't want to drink?" The young child looked at his mother coughing and said to the maid angrily.
The maid didn't move, as if she hadn't heard it, just holding the ginseng tea!
"Madam can be inside, can you let Young Master Yi come out for a while!" At this time, the voice of the old butler suddenly came out.
"Steward Wu, did the master ask you to come?" Hearing this, the woman in the white dress asked in an extraordinarily calm tone.
"Yes!"
The room was silent for a second or two, and the woman in the white dress said softly to the young child: "Yi'er, you go out and stay with the housekeeper for a while, and then come in later, okay?" ”
"No, I'm going to stay with my mother!" The toddler immediately refused.
"Be obedient, don't make your mother angry!" The woman in the white dress said sternly.
Hearing this, the young child said aggrievedly: "Yi'er is obedient, go out now, mother, don't be angry, it's not good for your health!" ”
The young child turned around step by step, looked at his mother on the bed reluctantly, and walked out of the room with slow steps.
