Third, the difficult situation
Zheng Wan went to the room and changed into the clothes she had been wearing for a few days, "Ah." The pain made Zheng Wan scream, hearing this sound, Zheng Wan hurriedly bit her lip, and took it to her left hand when she took off her clothes, who would have thought that her left hand was wrapped around a few circles of simple bandaged cloth, and the blood oozing out of it had dried up, she took a few breaths, untied the fabric with her right hand, and her left hand was scratched several times, and the scars were ugly across her white arm, which was particularly abrupt, this is a knife wound, how could a third lady of the Zheng family suffer this kind of injury. Ning Yan was full of doubts. Zheng Wan took out a bottle of Jinchuang medicine from the bed and sprinkled it indiscriminately, and the pain swept through Zheng Wan's reason. "Uh." A little sound overflowed, and he immediately gritted his teeth, rewrapped the wound, and changed his clothes. A trace of blood was bitten out of his lip and wiped it off with his hand. Brother Pingsheng, I'm sorry. Zheng Wan was a little distracted, looking at her arm blankly, Ning Yan looked at Zheng Wan with this appearance, she couldn't say what she felt in her heart, she could really bear it, she didn't show it at all in front of Zheng Nangong before, she must have been in pain, but she pretended to be fine. "Zheng Wan, what kind of person are you?" Ning Yan suddenly felt that the Zheng Wan in her mind was not real at all, and the one in front of her who was enduring pain was the real existence.
"Dead girl, come out for me!" The sharp voice interrupted Ning Yan's thoughts, Ning Yan ran out in the direction of the sound, and a woman in a green dress appeared in the courtyard, the woman was violent, about thirty years old, graceful, as beautiful as the morning glow, the makeup was very exquisite, and there was charm between her eyebrows, the woman's face was extremely displeased, she looked around, and actually picked up a branch scattered in the corner, "Zheng Wan, are you still waiting for me to invite you?" ”
When Zheng Wan heard the call, she hesitated slightly, pulled her hair, got up and opened the door, walked up to the woman respectfully, and saluted solemnly, "Hello third aunt, I don't know what my aunt called me?" "The voice is neither humble nor arrogant, neither far nor near.
The woman glared at Zheng Wan fiercely and sneered, "What's the matter?" Are you embarrassed to ask? What else can you do but make trouble for me? The woman's face turned red with anger, "What kind of bastard did you do to make your father so unhappy that he was even imprisoned in the ancestral hall." It's a shame on me. The branch in his hand slammed on the ground and crackled.
"It's better not to be angry with the third aunt, be careful of being angry. My father didn't pursue this anymore, so everything was over. Zheng Wan said calmly, not seeming to care about her mother's anger.
"Huh, passed? Do you know how speechless I was when I was ridiculed by those sluts just now, ah, what's so great about them, I always think that I was born in a family of eunuchs. The dog's eyes are low, and I haven't entered this Hou Gate the same way. It's all concubines," the woman suddenly waved the branch in her hand and slapped Zheng Wan on the back fiercely, "You are not angry." Why wasn't it you who died in the first place? If Pingsheng is still here, how can I suffer this humiliation, how can I die so hard. ”
Zheng Wan bit her mouth, silently endured the beating, and her face turned a little paler, "What my mother said is that if my brother is here, my mother is indeed more beautiful, so what mother is not proud of her bright young man." But how much do you care about your brother? Zheng Wan raised her head and looked at the woman with burning eyes, "Only you are unhappy, or angry with the other ladies." When is it not a time when you have not taken your anger out on us, and what are we to you? In the past, my brother could still protect me, but how many injuries he had, you ever cared. Sometimes the old wound is not fully healed, and a new wound is added, when have you ever felt distressed? Zheng Wan's tears swirled, but they didn't fall. Smiling bitterly, the smile became brighter and brighter.
The woman's face turned blue and white for a while, and her body kept trembling angrily, "I have a long ability, and I dare to talk back." The woman slapped Zheng Wan again, "I'm all for your good." Ning Yan looked at everything in surprise, mother, isn't that Gu Qianqian? Zheng Wan and Zheng Pingsheng's biological mother, who was once a singer who was popular all over the capital Ancheng, how many children of the family fell under her pomegranate skirt, and finally she was appreciated by Zheng Nangong with a dance, and soon became Zheng Nangong's concubine, never expected that her temper and her temperament were completely inconsistent, Ning Yan looked at the branch and felt pain. Zheng Wan just bit her lip and looked at the woman in front of her coldly, with alienation and indifference in her eyes, as if she was used to it, for her, the person in front of her was not her biological mother, but an insignificant stranger.
"Dead girl, you should know how to be grateful. Born in Houmen, the opportunities you have are generally comparable. Unlike me, I have to rely on myself for everything, and I have to fight for everything I want. Now you are the young lady of the Taiwei Mansion, what a glory. You don't thank me, but you dare to talk back. Another blow was drawn on Zheng Wan's back, "In the past, I counted on Ping Sheng to make my mother and son expensive." It's a pity that his body is not angry. Now, you'd better settle down, and when you reach marriageable age, your mother will find you a good family. Waiting for glory and wealth. ”
"Glory and wealth? Hahaha, it's really for me, you want to be prosperous and rich forever. Third aunt, in your eyes, I'm just a tool for you, right? Zheng Wan lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly.
"Zheng Wan, you are getting more and more ignorant." Gu Qianqian raised his hand and slapped it on Zheng Wan's body, Zheng Wan stood straight, her face was calm and terrifying, as if she was not the one who was beaten.
"Madame, Madame, please let Mademoiselle go." Qiu Qi, who came over with porridge, put down the bowl and rushed out, blocking Gu Qianqian, tears kept falling, "Madam, don't fight, please don't fight, Miss is just young and not sensible." ”
Gu Qian glanced at Qiu Qi with disdain, "What are you?" Do you have a part in this? A subordinate even blocked the master. The woman waved her hand and pushed Qiu Qi away, and slapped Zheng Wan, who was silent, as if she was angry, and it didn't take long for a trace of blood to seep out of her clothes.
"Please, madam, stop fighting." Qiu Qi hugged Zheng Wan, and the branch fell on her back. Tears flowed uncontrollably, "Madam, she is your daughter." ”
"A disobedient subordinate is not even as good as a dog. If you stand in my way, I will fulfill you. Gu Qianqian slapped Qiu Qi fiercely.
Zheng Wan watched Qiu Qi being beaten, and with an indescribable feeling in her heart, she tried to push Qiu Qi away, "Qiu Qi, you go away." It's my business. You don't need to meddle. ”
"No, Miss's business is my business, and Qiu Qi won't let go." Qiu Qi always blocked the falling whipping, and his eyes were full of tears, but Ning Yan could see the stubbornness inside, this person was really stupid. The color of blood on Qiu Qi's body made Zheng Wan shiver for a while.
"Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong, what my mother taught me was, does my mother want to let me leave some scars and break my appearance?" Zheng Wan finally cried out and shouted to Gu Qianqian.
"You!" Gu Qianqian really stopped when he heard Zheng Wan's words, and suddenly smiled, her face was beautiful, "Zheng Wan is too big, she loves beauty, I will let you go today." In this Taiwei Mansion, our mother and daughter have no power and power, and we have to rely on ourselves for everything. We are the real family, and my mother may be harsh on you, but my mother is also for your good. Got it? Gently stroked Zheng Wan's face and said softly. It seems that the person just now is not her,
Zheng Wan looked at Gu Qianqian quietly, showing a hint of a smile, and then Gu Qianqian's face became better. "Wan'er is white." Zheng Wan saluted again. "It's just that my daughter was dizzy. Annoyed her mother, Wan'er apologized to her mother. I don't remember what I said, and I hope my mother doesn't take it to heart. Our mother-son connection is. ”
Gu Qianqian was quite satisfied with Zheng Wan's performance, and put the hair that fell on Zheng Wan's face behind her ears, "It's good to be white, then you go and rest, I'm tired these days." Gu Qianqian casually threw away the branches in his hand, tidied up his makeup, and turned around and left elegantly.
"Congratulations to the third aunt." Zheng Wan's long eyelashes covered the look in her eyes, as if nothing had happened. Ning Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she never thought that parents could beat their children like this. Hearing Zheng Wan mean that she has been like this since she was a child, it is no wonder that Zheng Wan doesn't care so much about injuries.
Qiu Qi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Miss." Qiu Qi gently helped Zheng Wan, "Let's go to the medicine." ”
"Yes." Zheng Wan walked into the boudoir and took off her clothes, the slender and long scars on her body were shocking, and the blood stains had coagulated. Faintly, some old wounds can be seen.
"Madame, why is she so ruthless." Qiu Qi cried and rubbed medicine on Zheng Wan.
"You don't have to stand in my way just now, why bother." Zheng Wanliang said something for a long time, and the medicine touched the wound, and there was a burst of pain, but she didn't seem to care. The wounds on her body are just a reminder that you are not strong enough.
"Miss." Qiu Qi looked at the back that had been wiped with medicine, covered his mouth, and his tears were already uncontrollable, "Miss, rest early." "I want to run out.
Zheng Wan gently closed her clothes, sighed lightly, and grabbed Qiu Qi's wrist, "Your back may be more serious than mine." I'll help you. ”
Qiu Qi was a little moved, but he still felt that the master and servant were inferior, and flatly refused, "No need, I can do it myself." Don't worry, Miss. ”
"Don't be pushy." Zheng Wan pulled Qiu Qi onto the stool, and Zheng Wan's strength was a few points greater than that of ordinary girls. easily stopped Qiu Qi from getting up, looking at the scars on Qiu Qi's body, Zheng Wan's tears kept rolling in her eyes, trying to endure it without tears flowing. Zheng Wan's fingertips trembled and stroked those scars, "Qiu Qi, you have suffered with me." ”
"Don't say that, Miss. Qiu Qi doesn't feel bitter, and it is a blessing for Qiu Qi to meet Miss. Qiu Qi's expression when he spoke had a hint of softness, which made people feel warm.
"Thank you." Zheng Wan's mouth showed these two words, but she didn't make a sound.
Ning Yan looked at the person she wanted to protect, and subconsciously wanted to pat her on the back, but her hand just wore it through, hey, how much truth is there in this Hou Gate?
