Chapter 222: Helping Hands
Seeing that Bai Yanran was silent and did not answer, Zuo Chengan continued: "I heard the news that Shu Yue was involved in the case of Xizuo, and now she is in prison in Dali Temple. Dare to ask the princess, is this true? ”
After listening to Zuo Chengan's intention, Bai Yanran was silent. Shu Yue was imprisoned at the beginning, firstly, because of the fragrance of butterfly flowers, and secondly, she dared to drug Ji Lingyun, so naturally she couldn't let it go easily.
But before Mrs. Tan left Beijing, she entrusted Shu Yue to Ji Lingyun, and Ji Lingyun must have thought of this. Bai Yanran simply made a deal with Shu Yue with this, and took out the picturesque news about her previous life from her mouth.
Shu Yue did stay in Dali Temple for a while at first, and explained everything she knew. But with Ji Lingyun as a guarantor, Shu Yue was quickly released, and now she has been sent to Mrs. Tan.
Seeing Zuo Cheng'an's stubborn appearance, Bai Yanran replied truthfully: "This is true, but Zuo Gongzi doesn't have to worry." Shu Yue has come out of Dali Temple, and now she has left the capital and returned to her hometown to her relatives. ”
Zuo Chengan never expected such a result, he originally thought that Shu Yue was now in prison, and he was her only savior. But I don't want to be too late for the hero to save the beauty, and the beauty has already said goodbye.
He stumbled back a few steps, and flatly denied it: "No, it's impossible, how can Shu Yue be a fine worker?" ”
Zuo Chengan has been smooth sailing since he was born, although he is the son of a concubine, he is the only son in the family. is arrogant and reluctant to enter the ranks, but enjoys the reputation of "Danqing Holy Hand", and has always been accustomed to being held by the stars.
However, recently, joining the party has suffered a series of blows, and the double blow of his mother's identity and death has made it difficult for him to sleep day and night.
He is unfaithful and unrighteous in remembering his mother, who is a meticulous worker, and if he is indifferent to the death of his mother, he is unkind and unfilial. He was torn between a rock and a hard place, almost going mad. But now, he has to tell that even his beloved is meticulous.
Zuo Chengan took two steps forward, almost closed the carriage window, and asked with red eyes, "Where is she?" I'm going to find her, I'm going to ask her for an understanding! ”
Shu Yue was sent to Mrs. Tan, and Mrs. Tan lived in seclusion in the countryside in order to avoid Liao Guangtian's eyes and ears, how could she easily tell outsiders. Bai Yanran thought for a moment, and had to say: "It is inconvenient to inform outsiders about this matter, and please forgive Zuo Gongzi." But if Shu Yue wants to see you, no one will stop her, she doesn't want to see you, why should you force it. ”
Hearing this, Zuo Chengan muttered in despair: "How is it possible, how is it possible." Since she is fine, why didn't she come to me, is she still blaming me? Blame me for not keeping my word and failing to take her away when I agreed? ”
He regretted and hated, both regretting that he had lost Shu Yue, and hating the person who wronged Shu Yue and made her leave gloomily. The helplessness in his heart turned into flames, gritted his teeth and glared at Bai Yanran: "I don't believe it, Shu Yue must have been coerced and coerced by you, how could she be meticulous!" You must have hidden her, where did you hide her? ”
Saying that, he was about to rush over again, but Angkor saw that the situation was wrong and stopped Zuo Chengan in front of the carriage.
Zuo Cheng'an, a weak scholar who can't resist and can't mention, was not Angkor's opponent. But now that he has lost his mind, he is full of anger and arouses his blood, so that Angkor can't resist it.
Seeing that Angkor was losing and retreating, he was about to ask Zuo Chengan to pounce on the carriage. Su Xin couldn't help but let out an exclamation in fright, and Bai Yanran's face was also pale.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and after the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted and a person came down, it was Song Shiyang, who had not been seen for a long time.
Song Shiyang obviously saw what was going on here so he hurried over, and as soon as the carriage stopped, he got out of the car and came over to grab Zuo Chengan.
Which Cheng thought that Zuo Chengan had already gone crazy, regardless of the endless struggle, the two of them worked together to drag the person backwards. But Angkor stepped on the stone under his feet and fell, and as soon as his hand was loosened, Zuo Chengan broke free.
The two of them were originally holding people back on the left and right, but Angkor suddenly let go, and Song Shiyang didn't catch anyone for a while. Immediately afterwards, Zuo Chengan rushed forward under the inertia of his own momentum, and just hit the wheel headlong.
I only heard a "bang", and then it was quiet all around.
The changes came suddenly, the scene was too chaotic, and things happened too fast. When everyone came back to their senses, they saw Zuo Chengan lying on his back on the ground with a bright red forehead, unconscious.
Angkor was frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "He, he can't be dead, right?" I didn't mean to let go. ”
Song Shiyang settled down, stepped forward to probe his nose, and said, "It's not a big deal, it should just faint." ”
After that, he called the coachman in the house, and the two of them worked together to drag Zuo Chengan to the carriage, and ordered: "You sent people to Zuo Xiang's mansion, only saying that you saw Zuo Gongzi fainting on the side of the road on the way, so you sent people back, and you didn't know anything else." ”
The coachman of the Song family nodded in response and drove away.
Song Shiyang turned his head and saw that Bai Yanran was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, and comforted: "Yanran, it's okay anymore." I want to wait for Zuo Gongzi to wake up and remember his crazy state, and he won't publicize the matter, don't worry. ”
Bai Yanran nodded, her face softened, she got out of the carriage and nodded with Song Shiyang: "Thank you cousin, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”
Song Shiyang also participated in the review of the detailed case, so he naturally knew why Zuo Chengan was so out of shape. Fortunately, he arrived in time today, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened.
Song Shiyang was afraid for a while, and instructed: "Remember to bring two more guards when you go out in the future, just in case." ”
Bai Yanran also had palpitations, nodded and said, "What my cousin said is that going home today is a temporary idea, who knew that this kind of thing would happen." ”
Song Shiyang saw that she was still worried, and couldn't help asking, "You are in such a hurry, but what happened to your uncle's family?" ”
Bai Yanran reluctantly smiled a little and said, "I'm ashamed to say that my mother has been sick for a long time and I don't know it. If it weren't for Simin mentioning it today, I don't know how long it would have been before I knew about it, and I was really an unfilial daughter. ”
Song Shiyang also looked worried when he heard this, and he was worried.
Not to mention that he and his mother have been cared for by their uncle for many years, and when his mother was in a hurry, his aunt was in charge of the funeral, so he didn't dare to forget this kindness easily.
He said: "Don't say that, my aunt won't tell you because I'm afraid you'll be worried." In that case, I will go with you to see your aunt. ”
The carriage of the Song family went to see Zuo Cheng'an, and Song Shiyang got into the carriage of the palace and went to the Bai family together. Seeing the two of them get down from a carriage, the porter was a little surprised, but he didn't ask anything.
When she arrived at Zhaohe Courtyard, the girl saw that Bai Yanran was coming back and led people in directly. happened to bump into Aunt Tang coming out of the inner room with the child in her arms, and Mother Zou came out to give it away, and was overjoyed to see Bai Yanran come back.
Aunt Tang also smiled: "The second lady is back, and Madame must be happy, maybe tomorrow she will be all cured." ”
She turned her eyes and saw Song Shiyang. Because of the different identities of the two, it is not good to be too affectionate, so they only nodded to each other as a greeting.
Tang said a few more words to Bai Yanran, and when he saw that she was anxious to glance into the house, he said goodbye with interest. Out of the Zhaohe Courtyard, Tang asked Yu Xin on the side: "I remember that this young master almost got married to the second young lady in the past, and now the second young lady has become a princess, but he has not married for a long time, what do you say this young master has in mind?" ”
Yuxin didn't dare to chew the root of his tongue, but said: "That was all in the past, and now the young master is still worried, so he can't get married." ”
Tang glanced at her, and said, "I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, these two people actually came together, and they are not afraid of being seen and gossiping." ”
Yuxin saw that Tang was unhappy and couldn't speak again. But Tang obviously didn't want to let her go, and Zhirong on the side came forward to relieve the siege and said, "Maybe it didn't happen to be at the door. ”
The Tang family is now heavy on Zhirong, and it is just enough to hear her say this, only to say "such a coincidence" in a weird way. Yuxin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and cast a grateful look at Zhirong.
When Bai Yanran and Song Shiyang entered, the Qi family was sleeping groggily, and Mother Zou whispered beside her: "Madame has just teased the third lady in a better mood, it is rare to be able to take a break at this time, I am afraid that it will be time to wake up again in a while." ”
Bai Yanran looked at Qi's haggard face and frowned, and asked, "How long has my mother been sick like this?" Have you seen a doctor? ”
Zou's mother sighed: "Since the last time Miss came, it has not been perfect. Dr. Sun came every once in a while, but he couldn't see why. It's just that it may have been too much of a deficit in the past, and now it's so bad.
But now that all kinds of decoctions and medicines are replenished every day, it is still difficult to sleep and eat all day long, and people are going to be dragged down. But the lady was afraid that the young lady would worry about it, so she didn't let anyone tell you, and only said that it would be fine for two days. ”
Bai Yanran looked at the white hair that grew on her mother's sideburns and her nose was sour, and she reached out and gently brushed the messy hair behind her ears.
Qi Shi did not sleep peacefully, and after waking up, he was dizzy and dizzy for a while before coming back to his senses. When he saw Bai Yanran, he was delighted and said, "Yan'er, why are you back?" ”
Bai Yanran helped Qi sit up and said, "Knowing that my mother is sick, my cousin and I will come to see you." ”
Only then did Qi Shi see Song Shiyang, and sighed with a smile: "It's not a big deal, why bother you to make this trip." ”
Bai Yanran asked with concern, "Mother, what do you think today?" ”
Qi shook his head, and said with a forced smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that now that people are old, their bodies will inevitably be useless." It's not painful, it's just that it's hard to swallow and it's hard to sleep at night, so it's not a serious illness. ”
Song Shiyang opened his mouth and said: "Uncle, this is not right, food can nourish essence, sleep and nourish qi." My aunt was tortured by this, and after a long time, it was inevitable that she would be depressed and her vitality would be greatly damaged, how could it be said that it was a trivial matter. ”
Bai Yanran also said: "Cousin is right, how can your body survive in the long run." Although Dr. Sun is a famous doctor, he also has something beyond his power, since he can't see it, let's change the doctor to see. ”
While talking, a girl came in with a medicine bowl, and Zou's mother brought it over and said, "Madam, it's time to drink the medicine." ”
The smell of the medicine was a little pungent, and Qi seemed to have become accustomed to it, so he took it and drank it in one gulp, but he also drank a glass of water bitterly before giving up.
For some reason, Bai Yanran looked at the empty medicine bowl and suddenly her heart trembled.
