Chapter 12: Family Change (I)

Du Huanting came to the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than two months of leisurely life, and began to feel bored, occasionally thinking about life, thinking that the life in the second half of her life was in the novel, she actually began to feel a little sad....

"Hey, if you come here, you can be safe." She thought.

At this time, Du Huanting was lying on a special rattan chair to apply cucumbers, and Chunxiang broke in with a roar, stood in front of Du Huanting, and cried.

While rubbing her eyes and muttering half-vague and semi-clear words, Du Huanting turned over and sat up, and the cucumbers on her face fell to the ground.

"Why are you crying again, and you can't let people maintain it."

"Miss...."Haruka cried breathlessly, "Master.... The lord is in prison. ”

"If you go to jail, you go to jail, what's all the fuss."

Under Chunxiang's stunned gaze, Du Huanting wanted to lie down and continue to sleep while applying the mask.

She suddenly remembered that her master was her father, and Du Huanting immediately sat up again, and asked in disbelief, "What?" My dad is in jail? ”

Chunxiang nodded while crying: "Madame couldn't stand the blow and fainted." Miss, what are we going to do now! ”

Du Huanting looked at the crying Chunxiang who was dead and alive, a little overwhelmed, and didn't know how to react.

"Isn't my father the prime minister? Why go to jail? ”

Chunxiang wiped her tears and said aggrievedly: "It's all the ghosts of the Zheng family---- it's the master who was killed by General Zheng!" ”

"The Du family has no grievances with him, what reason does he have to frame the prime minister."

"It must be revenge..... Miss, you forgot that General Zheng's father's death has something to do with the master.."

Du Huanting asked anxiously: "Will this matter be connected to the Nine Clans?" ”

Haruka shook her head and cried, "The slave doesn't know.... But the emperor trusts the Zheng family very much, if General Zheng doesn't let go of the master, then..."

Du Huanting didn't wait for Chunxiang to finish speaking, she jumped up quickly and ran into the room, Chunxiang hurriedly grabbed her arm and asked, "Miss.... What are we going to do? ”

"What to do? Pack up and run! ”

"What about the master?"

"He can only ask for more blessings for himself."

"Where's Madame?" Haruka asked again.

"When is it, don't worry about those two old ones, we're running for our lives first."

Du Huanting found the treasures she usually collected, rummaged through the cabinets, and packed them in a package, but found that there were too many things to fit.

"Haruka, bring me a bigger package." Du Huanting turned her head, but found Chunxiang standing motionless.

"Haruka?" Du Huanting called her.

With a pop, Chunxiang knelt in front of Du Huanting, her eyes full of tears. She raised her face, which was almost crying, and said resolutely, "Miss, Chunxiang won't leave." ”

"Confused, if you don't leave, I'm not afraid that someone from the palace will arrest you!"

Du Huanting walked over to help her up and comforted her: "The big disaster forest head flies separately, let's fend for ourselves when we leave the Prime Minister's Mansion... Luckily, I have a lot of value here..."

"Miss!" Haruka interrupted her, "If you leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chunxiang is nothing, Chunxiang is a person from Du Xiangfu in life, and she is a ghost in Du Xiangfu when she dies." ”

"Okay! Then I'll go...."

Du Huanting was about to cross the threshold with the package on her back, but found that she couldn't lift her feet, Chunxiang hugged Du Huanting's legs and begged: "Miss... Don't leave! The Du family needs you, the master needs you... Miss! ”

Du Huanting was furious, she threw the package on the ground, and said, "If you don't leave, will everyone wait here to die together?" ”

"Miss, Chunxiang and you will find a way together," Chunxiang said pitifully: "If the master can't come out, Miss and Chunxiang will leave, leaving the lady alone ....."

I choked as I spoke.

Du Huanting paced around the room irritably, until she scratched her hair into a chicken nest, and she complained: "The surname Zheng must be in line with me!" I can't get along with me! ”

Then he yelled at the door: "Neurotic, don't you have a grudge against our family!" ”

Haruka stopped crying and said, "Miss, you forgot. His father was beheaded by the barbarians, not to say that our master had an affair with the barbarians. ”

"Did the old man have an affair with the barbarians?" Du Huanting asked nervously.

Haruka doesn't know..... But the lord would never do that..... Although he is very serious on the surface, he is generous... There must be some misunderstanding between General Zheng and us. ”

At this moment, the subordinate reported outside the door: "Miss, Madame is awake." ”

Chunxiang stood up in surprise, looked at Du Huanting, and ran out with her.

In Mrs. Du's room, several maids stood beside the bed, and when they saw Du Huanting coming in, they saluted one after another.

Mrs. Du was lying on the bed sickly, staring at the top with her eyes blankly, with a white cloth wrapped around her forehead, and her pale lips moved when she saw Du Huanting coming.

"Li Niang...."She barely sat up with the support of the maid next to her.

"Madam, you are not in good health, you better lie down and rest." Haruka helped her to lie down again.

"Liniang, good boy.... Come to my mother's side..."Madame closed her eyes, her breath faint.

Du Huanting stepped forward to hold Madame's hand, glanced at Chunxiang, and called softly, "Mother, the child is here." ”

"Haruka, you take the others down first... I have something to say to Miss. ”

Haruka agreed, and retreated with the rest of the group with her red and swollen eyes.

"Liniang.. Your father is afraid that this time he will be more than lucky. The calm tone was imperceptible to coming out of the mouth of a woman who had lost her husband.

"Mother.. Daddy Ji people have their own natural appearance, you should rest well, take care of your body, and stop thinking nonsense. Du Huanting comforted.

"Good boy.. Your dad is confused.." Madame was heartbroken and said, "I want you to marry General Na Zheng so that his position in the court will be stable." The result? General Zheng not only didn't appreciate it, but also turned your father into an army. ”

Du Huanting thought to herself: If you don't die, you won't die.

"Mother.. Don't blame Daddy.."

Mrs. caressed Du Huanting's black hair lovingly, and said with emotion: "My child is still the same as before, considerate and filial. Outsiders say that you have become perverse, and you can only make sure that you are still the sensible and generous child for your mother. ”

Du Huanting felt a trace of inexplicable shame in her heart.

"Mother.. I just want you to live happily. But as Du Xiangguo's daughter, there are many things that you can't just think about. ”

"Mother.. You are too worried, your daughter has a noble status and a lot of wealth, where does she say that she is unhappy? ”

Madame smiled and said strangely, "Silly boy, you are exactly the same as your mother used to be." ”

"When my mother was still a young lady, she was bent on marrying a dragon and phoenix in a person, a famous family."

Du Huanting thought to herself: So you chose such a man who eats tigers poisonously?

"So my mother chose Daddy?" She asked.

Madame shook her head helplessly.

"The mother chose just a thin lover with an ordinary identity, so don't mention it."

"What about Daddy?"

"I was thrown in the hunting ground by the bearer, and I was bitten by a beast of prey. It was your father who found me while hunting and took me back to heal my wounds, otherwise... My mother has already been destined to go to Jiuquan. ”

Du Huanting became more and more shocked when she heard this.

"I've been sick ever since... It needs to be taken care of. ”

Madame's face gradually softened, and she continued: "Your father took care of me in every way, and after a long time, we developed feelings for each other. ”

Du Huanting sighed again and again, "I didn't expect... Daddy actually has such a loving side. ”

"Don't hate your daddy, boy... He is a good person by nature, but after staying in officialdom for a long time, people's temperament will change somewhat..."

"It's all for rights!" Du Huanting shook her head and sighed.

Madame turned to clasp her hand and said, "Mother has lived a clear life in this life, and she has enjoyed power and wealth. Mother only hopes that your father can come out safely and the family will live a peaceful life. As she spoke, she stroked Du Huanting's face again, "My child is like a beautiful flower, and my mother hopes that you will find a good home." ”

As she spoke, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Only then did Du Huanting realize that she was crying, and the long-suppressed emotions in her heart suddenly burst out. She thought of her parents, who had never spoken anything to each other, and who were cold as strangers.
