"Ah Zhi, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Mrs. Tai's face was even more ugly than Chu Lingxiao's.

Whether what Shen said is true or not, do you want to spread the face of the Yongding Marquis Mansion!

Mrs. Tai's eyes swept around like an arrow, and all the people below lowered their eyes.

The big maid hurriedly motioned for the other slaves and maids to retreat from the house. These things involve the Hou Ye and the Fourth Young Master, and they really are not what they slaves and maids should listen to, the less they know, the better.

In the blink of an eye, only Mrs. Tai, Chu Lingxiao and the Shen family were left in the room.

"Am I talking nonsense, he Chu Lingxiao knows best." Shen said mockingly, and took out a small porcelain jar with blue flowers on a white background from his sleeve, "Chu Lingxiao, a manly man, will you dare to admit it?" ”

As soon as he saw the familiar small porcelain jar, Chu Lingxiao's face became even more ugly, and his eyes flickered. Shen she really knows!

Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, Mrs. Tai chuckled in her heart, and saw the clue from the change in her son's expression. His heart is empty!

"Ah Xiao, ...... you" Mrs. Tai's throat seemed to be choked, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.

Shen Shi looked at Chu Lingxiao, and the smile on the corner of his lips became even colder, "I have never seen a person like you, tiger poison does not eat children, you are really more vicious than a jackal!" ”

Chu Lingxiao thought of a second dream for a moment, in that dream, everyone believed that he changed the bowstring in order to murder his parents and children, despised him for spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, and angrily scolded him for being inhumane.

In the dream, he was so desperate, no matter what he said, no one believed him, everyone thought it was him......

Chu Lingxiao was even more confused, the pain in his left leg seemed to spread all over his body, even his head was aching faintly, his thoughts were confused, and he blurted out: "Shen Zhi, don't you want to blame me for this kind of crime, this bow is obviously Chu Qianchen's, who asked him to use it!" ”

This "he" refers to Chu Yunmu, of course.

The more Chu Lingxiao spoke, the more excited he became, his mind was buzzing, he was indignant for himself in his dream, and he kept chattering: "If he didn't have to use that bow, how could he be scratched on the face?!" ”

"He's just a little bit of skin on a boy's face, what's the big deal, you still have to give him the perfect ointment, don't you think it's a big fuss?!"

"Shan'er hurt her foot, as the main mother, but you refused to take it out with the perfect ointment, and you don't have the demeanor of a housemother at all! What's wrong with me giving Shan'er a little ointment! ”

Speaking of later, Chu Lingxiao was almost a little crazy, and Mrs. Tai was also shocked, took a step back, her feet were weak, and she staggered to sit on the chair behind her.

Mrs. Tai also understood, it was Chu Lingxiao who made a move in the Jurchen arch, he wanted to target Chu Qianchen, but he didn't want to hurt Chu Yunmu's face. He also secretly changed Chu Yunmu's ointment.

If these things are spread, the reputation of their Hou Mansion will be ruined!

Mrs. Tai's face became more and more ugly.

But Shen was as calm as before, looking at Chu Lingxiao calmly.

Chu Lingxiao said this, she had already guessed it, and now she just got the verification from Chu Lingxiao's own mouth.

Some people, their hearts can be so ruthless!

Shen looked at Chu Lingxiao deeply, and his deep eyes were like a bottomless sea.

"That bow belongs to Sister Chen, if you attack her, isn't it a tiger poison eater?" Shen said softly, and there seemed to be no joy or sorrow in his calm voice.

It's that look again! Chu Lingxiao hated Shen Shi looking at him with such lofty eyes, as if he was just dust and couldn't get into her eyes at all!

Chu Lingxiao felt as if something had exploded in his brain, stared at Shen's eyes were blood-red, and said sharply: "I really want her to die, do you still need to go through such a setback?" She's so stubborn, I'm just going to let people kill her, and that's rightfully so! ”

His tone unabashedly revealed his dislike and contempt for Chu Qianchen.

As he said, according to the law of this dynasty, the father is not guilty of killing the son.

There was silence in the room.

Mrs. Tai only felt that she was almost out of breath. She didn't take Chu Lingxiao's words seriously, she only thought that Chu Lingxiao was angry with the Shen family.

Shen stared at Chu Lingxiao, and after a few breaths, he said, "I just can't figure it out." You have been like Jiang Minshan for more than ten years, and you are also a fatherly heart to Brother Yi, but you don't like Sister Chen. ”

"Isn't Sister Chen born to Jiang Minshan?"

A touch of disgust appeared in Chu Lingxiao's eyes, and he opened his lips slightly: "Chu ......"

At this time, a curtain sounded, accompanied by a soft and charming female voice: "Mrs. Tai, Master Hou, Mrs." ”

Aunt Jiang, who was dressed in green makeup and flower gowns, walked in in one by one, like a weak willow supporting the wind, she stopped a few steps away, demure as a flower shining on the water, I saw pity.

As soon as she came, it seemed that even the air here had undergone a subtle change, and there was a faint fragrance in it, which was refreshing.

Chu Lingxiao on the couch also calmed down, sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of the water.

His eyes flashed, avoiding Shen's eyes, his thin lips outlined a mocking arc, and said disdainfully: "Chu Qianchen is just a mere concubine!" ”

"What's the use of a concubine!"

He looks like a patriarch, especially emphasizing that Chu Qianchen is just a "concubine".

Chu Lingxiao's words sound reasonable, for many families, concubines are worthless at all except for marriage, unlike concubines who can also rely on their own talents to find a background in the court, which can bring more help to the family.

However, he can only deceive outsiders.

The Shen family has been married to him for more than ten years, and the slightest change in his expression can't be hidden from the Shen family at all.

Originally, the Shen family was just talking in a hurry, and said this casually, but now he felt like a fish in his throat, like a thorn that had been piercing from his throat to his heart: what did Chu Lingxiao originally want to say?

Shen quietly glanced at Aunt Jiang on the side of the couch, she was still the same soft and weak, husband-oriented,

"Master Hou, what do you think?" Aunt Jiang rushed to the couch and looked at Chu Lingxiao's twisted injured leg with heartache, her eyes were full of tears, and the corners of her eyes were red.

The appearance of crying is like an apricot blossom swaying in the wind and rain, white as snow, and moving.

Shen gracefully stroked his sleeves and said lightly: "Since Aunt Jiang is here, let's wait here." ”

She commanded as a matter of course, as if she were commanding a servant girl under her.

"Yes, madam, the concubine will take good care of Master Hou." Aunt Jiang's eyes were full of water, and those eyes seemed to be able to speak, hiding infinite grievances and tenderness for Chu Lingxiao.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Aunt Jiang distressedly, feeling that he had been wronged by Shan'er who was so humiliated by the Shen family.

Shen didn't bother to pay attention to the pair of lovers, and turned around to leave, but she turned around, and there was movement outside the house again, and Mama Wang, who had just gone to Jishitang, finally came back, walked up to Mrs. Tai with a stiff expression, and said in embarrassment: "Mrs. Tai, Jishitang said that the divine doctor is not there." ”

Mrs. Tai's heart was cold. The Shen family refused to help because of Chu Yunmu's matter, so if they wanted to hire a doctor, they could only wait for news from Concubine Chu's side.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Shen's mouth, and he said in his heart: Chu Lingxiao looks down on Chu Qianchen like this, how could he have thought that Chu Qianchen is the divine doctor of Jishitang.

Aunt Jiang looked at the Shen family, "Madam, please ask Madam to try to ask the imperial doctor to show Master Hou." ”

She knelt down with a thud, her clear eyes full of pleading, tender, so weak, so sincere.

However, Shen did not waver in the slightest, and said indifferently and detachedly: "Whatever his legs have become, he deserves it!" ”

"In the future, I will only be Mrs. Yongdinghou."

She said these two sentences with almost no emotion, which is equivalent to completely tearing her face.

After that, their husbands and wives went their own way.

She will do her duty as a permanent Madame Marquis, and that's all.

"Shen Zhi!" Chu Lingxiao felt like he had been slapped in the face, and sat up from the couch in anger. He pulled at the wound of the broken leg and let out a terrible scream.

Shen didn't bother to look at Chu Lingxiao again, and strode out of the inner room.

The inner room in the back was so lively, Chu Lingxiao's screams, Aunt Jiang's "huh" crying, and Mrs. Tai's distressed shouts were mixed together.

Shen walked straight forward as if he hadn't heard of it, his steps were unhurried and elegant.

For Chu Lingxiao, she was even disappointed.

If there is no hope, there will be no disappointment.

In this mansion, she is just Mrs. Yongdinghou, she just needs to live her own life.

Mama Chen followed behind Shen and looked at her with a look of desire and stopping.

Shen suddenly stopped and took the lead in speaking: "Just now, is Chu Lingxiao's appearance wrong?" ”

Just now, she was in a hurry, and casually questioned whether Chu Qianchen was born by Aunt Jiang, Chu Lingxiao's face was out of control for a moment, and he seemed to want to say something......

The master and servant stood in a winding verandah, with no one but the two of them.

Mama Chen recalled the scene in the inner room just now, and hesitated: "The slave also feels that there is something wrong with the Hou Ye. "Master Hou seems to be like that...... It seems that there is some secret hidden.

Moreover, this secret may also be related to the second girl, Chu Qianchen.

But what is it?

Chu Qianchen couldn't have been brought by Aunt Jiang, but when Aunt Jiang was pregnant and gave birth to a child, the whole house saw it, and this definitely couldn't be fake.

Fifteen years ago, not long after the Shen family got married, Chu Lingxiao wanted to accept his cousin Jiang Minshan as a good concubine.

This is a very unruly thing in Xungui's Mansion, and it also makes the Shen family, who had just married into the Hou Mansion at that time and still had a longing for marriage, feel cold to Chu Lingxiao, since he is cold-hearted, then who he wants to accept, the Shen family doesn't care.

Anyway, there are clear laws in the court, and the concubine can't attack the lord.

Mama Chen snorted for a moment before she said again: "If the second girl was not born to Aunt Jiang, then who else would it be?" ”

Chu Qianchen is more or less similar to the sons and girls in the house, she must have the blood of the Chu family, it is not the Hou Ye and the outer room, and she brought the daughter of the outer room back, right?

Shen: "......"

Shen pursed his lips and fell silent.

The rising sun spilled obliquely into the verandah, illuminating Shen's face half bright and half dark, half of his face was as white as jade, half of his face was shrouded in shadows, and his eyes were as deep as a pool.

The verandah was quiet, and the warm summer breeze gently blew on people's faces, and smoked people drunk.

I don't know how long it took before Shen Shi said again: "I always feel that Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang's attitude towards Sister Chen is not right......

"It's not like treating my daughter, it's like ......"

Slaves.

That's right, Chu Lingxiao's attitude towards Chu Qianchen is like treating a slave who doesn't like it, you can trample on it at will, and you can abandon it at will!

It stands to reason that it shouldn't.

Aunt Jiang didn't have a difficult birth when she gave birth, and it was impossible to be angry because of difficult childbirth.

The Yongding Marquis Mansion is not the family where all such girls are drowned.

The more Shen thought about it, the more he felt foggy.

She whispered, "Looks like there are some things that need to be checked." ”

She seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be saying to Mama Chen.

The master and servant continued in the direction of the main courtyard.

Shen's words are counted, and she said that she doesn't care about Chu Lingxiao.

Mrs. Tai couldn't pull off the shelf and begged the Shen family again, so she could only go to the palace in person and beg her daughter Chu Guifei to reward the imperial doctor. She really has no other way, unlike the previous dynasty, and now she doesn't give the courtiers a doctor.

In the afternoon, Imperial Doctor Zhou, who is good at orthopedics, finally came to the Hou Mansion.

This morning, the Hou Mansion invited almost most of the doctors who are good at orthopedics in the capital to come over, but the results obtained were not ideal.

Imperial Physician Zhou was almost Chu Lingxiao's last hope, however, the result he gave poured a bucket of cold water for Chu Lingxiao and the eldest lady again.

Or the same old saying -

"Mrs. Tai, Master Hou's left leg is too seriously injured, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the bone."

"The old man can only use acupuncture to relieve the pain of Hou Ye, and then prescribe a prescription for Hou Ye."

Imperial Doctor Zhou gave Chu Lingxiao an injection, and after prescribing medicine, he left.

However, the effect of the acupuncture was very short-lived, but after half an hour, Chu Lingxiao's injured leg began to hurt again.

It hurts, as if there were thousands of needles stuck in his left leg.

The pain made it hard for him to fall asleep, and when he finally fell asleep, he closed his eyes and began to have nightmares, sometimes the two nightmares from last night, and sometimes the new nightmares.

He dreamed that when he was five years old, he picked up the Jurchen bow, and the bowstring broke, and his face was bruised, and he was left with a scar.

A person with a scar on his face cannot be a son, so he failed to become the prince of Yongdinghou, and when he was thirteen years old, his second brother Chu Lingyu was named the prince.

And he has become an extremely embarrassing existence in the Hou Mansion, he is the eldest son, but he is not the son of the world.

Everyone looked at him with sympathy and pity.

He really can't stand it, he wants to make a meritorious career, so that the people of the Hou Mansion and the world know that he Chu Lingxiao is a truly capable person.

He went into the barracks and went to the battlefield.

On the battlefield, corpses were strewn all over the field, and blood flowed like a sea.

He panicked and couldn't even lift the knife in his hand, he could only watch as the enemy's butcher's knife swung towards his head......

Chu Lingxiao woke up with screams, and when he woke up, he only felt more pain in his left leg.

As soon as he woke up, Aunt Jiang, who was guarding the couch, hurriedly grabbed one of his hands, and held a handkerchief in the other hand to wipe his sweat, and said softly: "Master Hou, are you having a nightmare?" ”

"Do you want the concubine to make a cup of soothing tea for Hou Ye?"

"Smack!"

Chu Lingxiao was in pain, and raised his hand to pat Aunt Jiang's hand away.

Aunt Jiang's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes again, delicate and weak.

On weekdays, Chu Lingxiao had already held Aunt Jiang in his arms and comforted her, but today he couldn't take care of it.

The pain took over most of his consciousness, and the nightmare that was so real that it seemed like reality made Chu Lingxiao restless.

The other slaves didn't dare to approach Chu Lingxiao casually, after all, even Aunt Jiang was angry with Chu Lingxiao, let alone them. The big girl silently went to boil pain-relieving decoction and soothing tea.

Chu Qianchen didn't care about these, she didn't even let Amber go to find out the news, she didn't care about herself, at this moment, Chu Qianchen went out of the mansion again and visited King Chen's mansion again.

Of course, she was here to give Qin Yao a follow-up visit, this time she picked the right time, and Gu Jue was also in the palace.

Chu Qianchen was very happy, she finally met the prince.

She didn't rush to greet Gu Jue, and went to check on Qin Yao first.

Qin Yao's leg injury recovered as well as she expected, the wound had improved significantly in just two days, he was still having a fever, and there were still some relapses, but there was no high fever anymore.

This time, the ointment that Chu Qianchen had given to Qin Yao was replaced by a nine-continuation ointment.

"This is the Nine Continuation Cream?" Yun Zhan could see it at a glance, after all, he had applied Jiuxu ointment for several days for the scar on his neck.

Yun Zhan subconsciously raised his hand and touched the scar on his neck, which was still clearly left on his neck.

To tell the truth, every time he recalled the process of Chu Qianchen's treatment of Qin Yao, Yun Zhan felt that his injury seemed to be light.

Chu Qianchen said "um", she not only changed Qin Yao's ointment for the wound, but also changed the prescription, only the aged mustard marinade remained unchanged, and let him continue to drink it according to yesterday's amount.

Doctor Miao only agreed, and hurried down to grab the medicine.

Qin Yao's spirit was better, if he didn't look at his legs covered in ointment, he wouldn't look like an injured person at all.

"Miss Chu, I can always eat noodles now, right?" Qin Yao asked eagerly.

He had eaten porridge for two whole days, and he was almost fading out of the bird.

Chu Qianchen nodded.

She asked Qin Yao to eat porridge for the first two days, because he had been in a coma for a few days and hadn't eaten for a long time, so she let him eat some easy-to-eat liquid food first.

Seeing this, Qin Yao was overjoyed, and hurriedly instructed Dao Yunzhan to say: "Yunzhan, you go and give me a bowl of noodles, don't have pickle noodles, I want to eat three mushroom chicken noodles!" ”

Chu Qianchen didn't care what noodles Qin Yao wanted to eat, turned around and walked towards Gu Jue, who was sitting by the window.

"Lord Wang, his injuries have stabilized. I estimate that the fever should be completely clear within three days. Chu Qianchen looked at Gu Jue with a smile, his eyes outside the veil were bent into a pair of crescents, and there seemed to be starlight in his eyes.

The golden sunlight shrouded her face gently through the window, making her originally stunning appearance even more beautiful.

Not to mention Gu Jue, even Qin Yao on the couch could see that Chu Qianchen had a few big words written on his face: Praise me, praise me.

Gu Jue's narrow eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of his lips seemed to be slightly curved.

The shallow smile is like the morning light that lifts the dark night, dazzling, and his cold temperament on weekdays is a little less alienated and a little more warm.

Gu Jue praised her as she wished: "Miss Chu, your medical skills are really clever!" ”

That smile disappeared in a flash, so fast that it seemed to be Chu Qianchen's illusion.

Chu Qianchen stared at the corners of Gu Jue's lips, and was stunned for a moment, and the little finch in his heart flapped his wings happily, even happier.

The prince laughed just now and praised her.

Qin Yao watched this scene from the side, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Sure enough, his feeling that night was not an illusion because of his high fever, this little girl was indeed like the Persian cat that Brother Jiu had before, and she was very attentive to Brother Jiu!

Hmm, what's that Persian cat called...... Anyway, it meows at Brother Jiu, and it doesn't look at others squarely, and scratches it with its claws at every turn!

Qin Yao touched his chin, and his thoughts ran away accidentally.

Chu Qianchen happily continued: "Qin Shizi's injuries must be recuperated, and he can't move for the time being, if he wants to go out, he can get a wheelchair." ”

"His wounds are deep, especially the bones in his right leg, so he must be carefully cared for, first for a month, and then slowly exercised, and he can't ...... in a hurry."

"Although his leg has been saved, it will take at least half a year for him to fully recover and be able to run and jump."

Gu Jue bowed slightly, and said to Qin Yao: "You take care of it, that matter, there is me." ”

Qin Yao came back to his senses and responded, not worried at all.

Since Brother Jiu said so, then he knew it in his heart.

Qin Yao clenched his fists, and a strange light flashed under his eyes.

The emperor is worried about taking the ninth brother, this time, the emperor must be holding himself as a handle and negotiating conditions with the ninth brother.

He has become a bargaining chip used by the emperor to contain the ninth brother, unless he can completely clear his name......

"Ninth Brother......" Qin Yao's fists clenched even tighter, and he looked at Gu Jue again.

He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Qianchen's surprised voice.

"This is for me?" Chu Qianchen took a scroll from Gu Jue's hand, his eyes were shining, and he smiled like a crescent moon again. She cheerfully opened the scroll.

It's a picture.

The handwriting on the scroll is beautiful and beautiful, and the charm is super elegant, and there is a kind of "learning from others, self-contained" free and easy.

For Chu Qianchen, this character is too familiar.

Chu Qianchen looked at this character, and his phoenix eyes widened slightly.

This is Xie Wenjing's words.

"This is long overdue for you." Gu Jue said.

Last month, he said that he wanted to give her a picture of Xie Wenjing's words, but when the little girl found out the words, he found that the framed words were a little moldy, so he framed them himself.

It's only a month late.

Chu Qianchen looked at this character in a daze, and the phoenix eyes were filled with extremely complex emotions, including shock, nostalgia, emotion, and joy.

Xie Wenjing has been a prince, and the prince has several paintings of Xie Wenjing's calligraphy and paintings.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that in the past and present lives, the prince gave her the same words.

The same painting actually reached her hand, but two years earlier than in her previous life.

Chu Qianchen's eyes were slightly sour, and he carefully held this calligraphy and painting, looking down word by word, and his heart became more and more happy.

That's nice!

Chu Qianchen was refreshed all of a sudden, as if she had taken some kind of panacea, and felt that she could do it again.

She carefully rolled the scroll up again, clutching it tightly.

Gu Jue couldn't help but ask casually: "Do you like Xie Wenjing's words so much?" ”

He also thought that the girl's family liked Mrs. Wei's hairpins.

"I like it!" Chu Qianchen nodded vigorously, as if he was afraid that Gu Jue would not believe it.

In her previous life, the prince picked Xie Wenjing's words for her, on the one hand, because he felt that her words were soft, and on the other hand, because he wanted her to learn Xie Wenjing's open-mindedness by practicing calligraphy.

This is the prince's hope for her, hoping that she can spread her wings like a big peng and not be trapped in a small world.

At this time, Qin Yao on the couch finally ate the hot and fragrant three-mushroom chicken noodles, and while eating noodles, he looked at the two people by the window from time to time.

Brother Jiu has been cold since he was a child and doesn't care about people.

He has also been pestering Brother Jiu since he was a child, and he has been pestering him for five years before he becomes Brother Jiu's own person.

Like Yun Zhan and Mo Shen, it was only after they were born and died on the battlefield with Brother Jiu that they won his trust.

This is the first time it has been ......

He saw Brother Jiu looking at a little girl he had known for a short time, could it be that his first instinct was right?

Qin Yao picked up the big bowl and drank the noodle soup with a gurgling face.

Seeing that the time was not early, Chu Qianchen said goodbye slowly: "Lord, I still have to go to Jishitang, so I will say goodbye first." ”

Gu Jue put down the teacup in his hand, got up and said, "I'll send it to you." ”

Chu Qianchen was originally reluctant, but when she heard Gu Jue say this, she smiled again, her eyebrows and eyes were shining, and a thin veil couldn't stop her joy at all.

Her smile was so sincere, with a power that was infectious.

Just looking at her, Gu Jue felt calm, like a spring breeze in March gently blowing across the lake, leisurely and comfortable.
