Chapter 360: If You Don't Eat, Don't Eat
Mrs. He is resolute in her work.
In just two days, the petition for quiet thought had already fallen on Song Zixun's desk. There was not only a joint petition from the local gentry, businessmen, and the wives of the Jia family, but also many ordinary people who had been favored by Mrs. Huo spontaneously pressed their own handprints on the petition. Everyone thanked Mrs. Huo for her kindness in merciful to the poor and the weak when she was alive, and begged the adults of Zhixian County to have compassion and sincerity in Jing Si, combined with Xiaohong's heinous crimes in the case of poisoning Mrs. Huo's body and two murders, and considered Jing Si's negligence to her death.
At the same time, as the head of the family of the victim in this case, Huo Yuliang also personally approached Song Zixun, expressed his willingness to give up the right to pursue all responsibilities of Jing Si, and implored Song Zixun to give a light sentence.
Because Xiaohong has no parents and family in this world, although Sun Chuan is his friend, the two have no marriage contract, and Sun Chuan himself is also suspected of extortion and is now being detained in the county government, so Huo Yuliang, who holds Xiaohong's deed of sale, is the only bitter master of this case.
So three days later, Song Zixun opened a retrial and sentenced him to 20 rods of meditation, which was immediately executed.
…… When the news reached the Song Mansion, Du Rongzhi was sitting on the Luohan bed, embroidering the purse in his hand with stitches and threads.
In the past two days, Song Zixun confiscated all her miscellaneous books, causing her to have nothing to do every day, so she had to do needlework with the girls to pass the time.
After hearing this, she was silent for a while, and then sighed softly, "Jing Si is a girl's house...... These twenty boards are enough for her to bear the ......."
Qinghe smiled and said with relief, "The young lady can't think like this. If it weren't for our lord's openness, Miss Jingsi would have been sentenced to exile if she didn't say anything...... Where is it so easy to be good? What's more, this board is all made by people, whether it is light or heavy, and they all have the final say? The master will definitely not let Miss Jingsi suffer too much, the young lady can rest assured. ”
Du Rongzhi thought about it, and couldn't help laughing, "You're right...... I think too much. He bowed his head again and continued to embroider.
Yuan Yuan couldn't help but come over to take a look, and saw that the purse was embroidered with a pear blossom, and the snow-white petals were falling down one after another, and the hair between the eyebrows of the woman who was slightly upturned under the tree was falling...... Yuan Yuan couldn't help but admire, "It's so delicate...... I will definitely like it when I see it! ”
Du Rongzhi didn't raise his eyes, and said coolly, "It's not for him, it doesn't matter if he likes it or not." "I accepted her book and forced her to take medicine, and I haven't had time to settle this account with him......
Yuan Yuan secretly stuck out her tongue at Qinghe, who gave her a glance back, and looked at her with a smile, "Why is it that the slave maid looks at this woman under the tree and her eyebrows are somewhat similar to the young lady...... It's so pretty. ”
Du Rongzhi paused, pursed her lips and said stiffly, "Where is it like ......" turned her head and embroidered energetically.
………………………………
said that Du Rongzhi was so engrossed in embroidery that she forgot about herself, and she didn't even hear when footsteps sounded outside the house. It wasn't until Qinghe and the others said hello that she suddenly realized that there was another person in the room at some point.
Du Rongzhi couldn't help frowning and said, "When did you come back?" How can I walk without a sound? As he spoke, he quickly put the needle and thread into the basket.
Song Zixun couldn't cry or laugh, "It's obvious that you are so drunk that you don't care about people, but this will blame me." Then he sat down beside her and casually asked, "What were you embroidering just now?" He glanced casually into the basket.
Du Rongzhi quietly blocked his sight, handed the basket to Qinghe and put it away, "It's okay to be idle, just embroider something to pass the time." Changing the subject, he said, "I heard that Jing Si has been sentenced to ...... today"52
"Hmm." Song Zixun picked up her hand and played with it in the palm of her hand, "Twenty swords for the cane...... The execution has been carried out and the man has been released. He smiled and asked, "Is Madame satisfied with this result?" ”
Du Rongzhi smiled, changed her serious appearance in a blink of an eye, and said in a deep voice, "The county master is wise!" ”
Song Zixun couldn't help but be amused by her appearance, and reached out and pinched her red little face, "Naughty." Because he remembered it, he asked, "Can I take my medicine on time today?" ”
Du Rongzhi smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes-"
Before the words fell, Qinghe mercilessly exposed, "Where is it? She stepped forward quickly, frowned, and said, "Master take care of the young lady!" She's only honest under your nose...... I got up at noon today and said that I wouldn't take the medicine, and then I told us to secretly pour the medicine into the flower bed......"
Song Zixun raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.
Du Rongzhi glared at Qinghe hatefully, turned her face and said with an innocent smile, "Don't listen to her nonsense, I really wanted to drink...... But the medicine is too bitter, and I can't help it. ”
Song Zixun nodded understandingly, and ordered, "Go and boil a bowl of medicine for the young lady again, and I'll feed you this time." The latter sentence was said to Du Rongzhi.
Du Rongzhi puffed out her cheeks and didn't want to speak.
Qinghe hurriedly smiled and said yes, and retreated with Yuan Yuan.
Song Zixun took Du Rongzhi into his arms with his long arms, and poked her face with a smile, "It's obvious that you are at fault yourself, but you are embarrassed to be angry with me?" Well? ”
"Where am I going to lose?" Du Rongzhi pursed her lips and said unconvinced, "Didn't I tell you?" I didn't imagine those things, they were all dreams! I'm not sick! Why do you have to force me to take medicine? ”
Song Zixun smiled dotingly, "I didn't say you were sick...... It's just that you haven't been sleeping well lately, and you often have nightmares, so you should take a few pairs of medicine to recuperate. Don't be so childish...... Well? ”
"......" Du Rongzhi bit her lip weakly, and when she saw that it was hard, she had to soften her tone and say with red eyes, "But I took so many medicines before, I was really scared...... Can't you just skip it? ”
Seeing that Song Zixun's brows were really distressed, Du Rongzhi made persistent efforts to hug his neck, and choked up aggrievedly, "You don't allow me to read those miscellaneous books, and I will depend on you...... Can't you just follow me? As she spoke, her soft lips swept past the man's ears intentionally or unintentionally, and she begged softly in her ear, "Don't eat it...... Good no good? ”
The hand around her waist tightened unconsciously......
Song Zixun asked in a hoarse voice, "Don't take medicine...... So what do you want to eat? ”
Du Rongzhi was stunned for a moment, and before she could react to what he meant, there was a sudden flower in front of her eyes, and the whole person was pressed by him.
"If you don't eat, you won't eat......" he leaned over and kissed her dumbfounded eyes, "Anyway, there are so many ways to make you sleep well......"
