Chapter 3: Slap in the face
"Don't be afraid!" Aunt Wang protected Chu Mengying and commanded sharply: "What are you waiting for!" Don't catch her for me yet! ”
Aunt Wang has presided over the feeding for many years, she spoke, and the family nursing home naturally wanted to listen, just looking at the look of the three girls, several nursing homes were inexplicably frightened, holding a Qi Mei stick in their hearts, and they didn't dare to step forward for a long time.
Chu Junlan didn't bother to pay attention to it, and walked straight to Chu Huating.
Chu Huating rushed over: "Lan Lan, is it you!" Hello! You, you're not dead! ”
"Big brother." Chu Junlan held Chu Huating's hands, "It's me, I'm already fine, the moment someone set fire to my room, I heard my mother call me, and a spirit woke up." ”
"It's really you, Lan Lan, it's the eldest brother's fault! If I hadn't collapsed, I wouldn't have given anyone a chance to set fire! It's all because I'm so useless! ”
"Where can you blame Big Brother for this? I know the pain of my eldest brother, and I can actually hear all the words you said to me when you were blind. I just can't move, I can't speak, I can't respond to you. Chu Junlan gradually had tears in her eyes, and her memories fused, and she was the one who experienced all this.
"I know the pain of my eldest brother's blindness, and the pain of not being able to continue to break his wings. Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to cure you. ”
"As long as people are alive, as long as you're okay." Chu Huating nodded again and again, at this time he had no intention of distinguishing whether what Chu Junlan said about "curing him" was true or false.
Several guards dug up two half-burned bodies from a pile of broken wood.
The eldest girl next to Aunt Sun, Taohong, looked at the female corpse and immediately screamed: "Auntie, it's Zhilan, it's Zhilan!" ”
"Don't shut up yet!" Aunt Sun scolded with a pale face.
When the chief housekeeper Ma Yan saw Ma Changming's body, he collapsed to the ground on the spot: "My son, how can my son be here!" Someone must have harmed him! ”
The handkerchief in Aunt Wang's hand was about to be twisted into a twist, and when she saw Chu Junlan reuniting with Chu Huating in a conscious state, she was calm as if she had changed into a different person, she felt chills all over her body, and her veins were like ice slag, and even the soles of her feet were cold.
This girl has been lying for more than a year, do you still remember that incident? If you tell her in public......
That's it, even if she says it, she just doesn't admit it! If it doesn't work, it's all on Ma Yan!
Aunt Wang whimpered: "Changming is the son of our family, and we grew up watching, Zhilan's girl has been serving Sister Sun for many years, okay, how could the two of them die in Sister Lan's boudoir?" Or was it burned? ”
As if she suddenly reacted to something, Aunt Wang hurriedly covered her cherry mouth, "Sister Lan, how can you?" ”
Chu Mengying also stared at the fawn-like eyes in horror, and helped Aunt Wang, her body trembling, "Third sister, you, why do you want to ...... They have no grievances with you! ”
Needless to say, the frightened appearance of the two women attracted the associations of the people around them, and several younger brothers and sisters were frightened and retreated.
Chu Huating was furious when he heard this, and just as he was about to speak, he was pinched his hand.
Chu Junlan stood up.
Aunt Wang retreated again and again, as if frightened by her: "Why do you want to set fire?" Why did you burn Ma Changming and Zhilan? What is there in the Chu family that is sorry for you! ”
Chu Junlan slowly walked towards Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang reprimanded indignantly: "You have been lying down for more than a year, the master has never given up on you, and he has also found a high-ranking family like Gongding Wangfu for you, and even the old lady and the second master have rushed to attend your wedding, what are you still dissatisfied with?" Why didn't you come to say hello to the old lady and the old man when you woke up, why did you set fire to it for no reason? Do you want to burn the Chu family and burn all of us? ”
Syllable!
The loud slap suddenly slapped on Aunt Wang's face, and before everyone could react, Chu Junlan grabbed her hair and forced her to get closer to him.
"Ahh You, you prodigal hoof who has a mother and no mother, you dare to beat me! ”
Syllable!
Another slap in the face, this time harder than Fang Cai.
"Wang Yuqing." Chu Junlan smiled with his eyebrows, but his voice was as cold as ice, "Do you think I forgot everything?" ”
Aunt Wang's eyes widened in horror on the spot, trembling and unable to speak.
She remembers! She really remembers!
Chu Junlan smiled, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, my mother's death, my eldest brother's eyes, and the year I've been lying, the account between us will be calculated slowly." ”
With a shake of his hand, he let go of Aunt Wang, and turned to Aunt Sun, who was holding her clothes: "Aunt Sun is too." Leaning closer to her ear and lowering his voice: "I remember the account this time." ”
Aunt Sun's face turned pale and she barely stood firm.
Aunt Wang's sideburns were scattered and she sat on the ground in despair.
"Auntie!" Chu Mengying shouted, busy to help.
The big housekeeper Ma Yan cried and went away, and only then did he come to his senses, "Report to the government, you must report to the government!" He glared at Chu Junlan viciously, "If you hurt my son, I will let her pay for her life!" ”
"Okay." Chu Junlan said with a smile, "It just so happens that I also want to talk to Lord Qingtian about what I saw behind the rockery in the small garden one evening, and Ma Changming and Zhilan suddenly came to my boudoir to set fire!" ”
As soon as Ma Yan heard the sentence "behind the rockery in the small garden", his throat seemed to be blocked by an egg.
Ma Xuewen said incredulously: "Impossible, Changming can't set fire!" ”
Of course, Chu Junlan knew that Ma Changming was not an arsonist.
Ma Changming is Aunt Wang's cronies, and the dowry sent by the palace is now controlled by Aunt Wang, who is presiding over the feed, if she is burned to death, the Chu family can't hand over the bride, then she has to withdraw from the marriage and return the dowry, how can Aunt Wang give up the money in her hands?
This matter must be Aunt Sun's plan to kill two birds with one stone, burn her, and then let Aunt Wang take out the silver!
But Chu Junlan wants to say so!
Zi Yan hurriedly said: "Yes, at that time, the young lady was already showing signs of waking up, and the slave maid was about to go out to tell the master, and just went out to meet Ma Changming and Zhilan, because they are all from their own family, the slave and maid were not suspicious, who knew that there was a fire not far from the room!" ”
Chu Huating took Baole's hand and walked to Chu Junlan's side, pulled his sister behind him to protect him, and looked ahead with a pair of blank eyes, but he happened to stare directly at Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang trembled.
"Obviously, Ma Changming and Zhilan must have one arson, or two conspired! If it weren't for my mother's dream to wake Lan Lan, she would have died! Report to the government, just right, I have to carefully investigate, who murdered the only concubine of the Chu family, the future princess of Gongding Wang! ”
"Impossible! It could never be Changming arson! Ma Yan yelled.
Aunt Sun also said: "Zhilan, she is a second-class maid, and she has no grievances with the third lady, where is there any reason to set fire?" ”
Chu Huating sneered: "You say no, no?" You want to put the death of the two of them on Lan Lan's head, even if Lan Lan agrees, I won't agree! I still know where the yamen will open, so let's go to court and speak with facts! ”
"No way!" Aunt Wang screamed, she must not let Chu Junlan have a chance to say that!
Everyone looked at it in confusion.
Aunt Wang realized her gaffe and remedied: "How big a matter is it to go to the yamen, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed?" The three girls in our family are very good, today is the day of marriage, and you are not afraid of making trouble and making people chew their tongues, which will affect the master's official career. ”
"Exactly." At this time, Chu Cailiang and Chu Caijun came side by side.
Chu Cailiang was nine years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, wearing a new azure wide-sleeved Taoist robe, wearing a square scarf, and a dignified appearance, with a Confucian demeanor. It's just that he, a member of the Ministry of Labor, has not been promoted for many years, and he cares most about his reputation, and he wants to sharpen his head and climb up.
"When the fire is extinguished, what a fuss! Today is the day of the three girls' great joy, and you are not afraid of bad luck! Glancing at the half-charred corpse on the ground, Chu Cailiang covered his face with his sleeves, "Don't lift it up yet!" Call the girls and young masters to look at it and not be afraid of colliding! He said to Ma Yan again, "This accident is really not what you and I want, don't worry, I will definitely compensate the Ma family." and the girl also gave her an extra twenty taels of silver as compensation. ”
Ma Yan glanced at Aunt Wang, carefully smacked Fang Cai's matter, afraid that something else would be involved in the court, but he nodded in the end and said sadly: "Thank you, master." ”
Chu Cailiang turned around and saw Chu Junlan, who had returned to normal, and said kindly: "Sister Lan'er is in good health?" ”
Chu Junlan smiled, lowered his head to hide his expression, and saluted respectfully: "Father, my daughter has recovered, and my father has been worried for so long, and my daughter is really ashamed of her father." ”
Chu Cailiang wanted to marry her to a fool in exchange for a bride price, but now that he sees that she is very good, he wants to be able to use her to seek more, and his attitude towards her is naturally gentle, since he wants to play with his father and son, she will play with him.
Brushing his short beard, Chu Cailiang bowed his head with satisfaction, "It seems that it is really good." ”
"Father." Without waiting for Chu Junlan to speak, Chu Mengying had already approached and curtsied, Chu Chu said pitifully: "Father should find a doctor to show the third sister, although the third sister has recovered from the stupor, she is a little crazy, and she just beat her aunt." ”
When Chu Cailiang heard this, his face immediately sank.
Chu Mengying lowered her head, looking at Chu Junlan on the side from the corner of her eyes, the corners of her lips slightly hooked.
Chu Junlan was fearless, "Does the father look at his daughter like crazy?" If it is true, it is better to postpone the marriage, so as not to cause trouble for her father when her daughter arrives at the palace of Gongding. ”
Aunt Wang, Aunt Sun, and Aunt Su's faces all changed, and they didn't expect Chu Junlan to understand when she woke up and spoke, she perfectly grasped Chu Cailiang's psychology of wanting to take advantage of her high marriage.
"What's crazy? Second girl, why don't you look forward to your sister's well? As an older sister, you also have to learn to love your sister! Have you forgotten that your Father has taught you so much? ”
Chu Mengying's face turned white, and she hurriedly saluted, "Yes, my daughter also cares about the third sister, and my daughter will never do it again." ”
Chu Cailiang snorted, brushed his sleeves and said: "Hurry up and clean up, today is a big day for the three girls to get married, and it must not be delayed." ”
"Yes." Aunt Wang bowed her head and ordered the housekeeper to go to Zhang Luo.
At this moment, the mother-in-law guarding the Weeping Flower Gate suddenly trotted over, panting and replied: "Master, the Huici National Master of Daci Temple came to the door in person, and he is serving tea in the front hall at this time!" ”
"What! You mean Hui Ci National Teacher? ”
"Exactly!"
Chu Cailiangxi's face was flushed, Daci Temple has a history of more than 200 years, and Huici National Teacher is eighty years old. The door of this Kenden Chu family is simply the smoke of the ancestral tomb!
"Hurry up, all come, all come along, let's go to the front hall to meet the master!" Chu Cailiang walked out quickly, and the rest of the people were all decorated in a string behind him like zongzi.
Chu Huating couldn't see it, and was listening attentively, Chu Junlan took his hand, "Big brother, let's not go, I'll show you the pulse." ”
"See? When did you learn how to heal? Chu Huating chuckled, and thought that Chu Junlan was a childish naughty remark just now.
"Maybe it's God's mercy, and I will naturally be when I wake up." Carefully holding his ruler, examining his hands, and carefully observing his eyes, Chu Junlan said with a smile, "Big brother, your eyes are not damaged, and you also have a certain reaction to light, your eyes are saved!" ”
