Chapter 45: The Difference
He said that he would let his sister or his sister's husband or child sit in the position of lord of the city, and that he would never marry again in his life.
This incident caused quite a stir in Guxu City at that time, and many women envied the city lord's wife, thinking that she had met an infatuated good man.
The origin of this city lord's wife is not shallow, her maiden family is huge, most of them have heavy responsibilities in Guxu City, and they will help the city lord manage many things on weekdays, although they can't give birth, but they are also rare good women.
Guxu City, the origin of the name is now unavailable, why this Guxu City is called this name, and what is the story, no one knows the locals, even the city lord probably doesn't know the secret.
At this time, the slave was still young, and the lord of the city was only twenty-five years old, in the prime of life.
The city lord's sister happened to be twenty-eight years old, and she was eager to let go, and many famous families in the city came to the mansion to ask for marriage, but all of them were politely refused.
It turned out that the sister of the city lord met a thief when she went up the mountain to seek Buddha in the early years, and it happened that a strong man rescued her, and the city lord's sister Ming Ji fell in love with the strong man, and secretly sent people to find this strong man, just hoping to see this strong man again as soon as possible.
This city lord Ming Shangjun is a persistent man, this sister Ming Ji actually has this persistent temperament, there are only these two people in the Ming family, and many people praise the people of the Ming family.
It's just that the city lord really can't have children, and even if his sister is infatuated, she can't stay unmarried for the rest of her life.
The people of the major families discussed that when the city lord's sister was twenty years old, no matter what, they had to find someone to marry and give birth to an heir for Guxu City, and there was no other choice.
This matter was also agreed by the city lord at that time, and it was understandable to pass on the lineage after all.
On a rainy night, Bai Jing was reading a book in the room, and suddenly felt a chill behind him, he looked left and right, there was no water leakage in the room, he heard the sound of rain, put the book under the pillow, pushed the door and walked out.
There was no one in Hua Chen's house next to her, she seemed to be obsessed with weapons these days, and she went to the alley to find a blacksmith to learn how to make blades during the day.
It was noon at this hour, and Hua Chen should have peeked at the blacksmiths on the beams of the blacksmith's shop.
This courtyard is very remote, no one cares about it on weekdays, and the housekeeper who brought the two people was afraid that the two would be disturbed on weekdays, so he chose a very hidden place.
The City Lord's Mansion said that it was not big, but there were also a few courtyards that were idle and unattended, and they were one here.
In the quiet courtyard on weekdays, what sound can be faintly heard at this time, Bai Jing is already deaf and clear because of his perennial martial arts practice, and today he has practiced some spells, and his ears are more sensitive, he heard the voices of men and women, and he was very anxious.
Walking in the direction from which the sound came, Bai Jing saw a man beating a woman's stomach in a side room in a vacant courtyard.
The man had tears and did not flick, but at this time the man was full of tears.
"Don't do it, we can't give birth to children, and what is born is also a freak, you use a little force, I'm not afraid of pain." The woman grabbed the man's arm tightly, her expression distorted in pain, but she said that it would not hurt.
The man beat her stomach silently, tears streaming down her face.
Suddenly, the woman let go of the man's arm and fell headlong on the bed, rolling all over the bed.
She bit her lip hard, and faintly felt as if she was biting out blood.
The man stood on the edge of the bed, looking at the person rolling on the bed with a painful face, his hands trembling and hanging in the air, but helpless.
Bai Jing hid outside the window, and there was a gap to see the scene inside, he was very puzzled, why didn't he find a doctor or buy some abortion medicine for this abortion, why did he take such a risk.
The fetus was originally in the womb, but it was beaten down by force, this method is really cruel, and even the woman will be beaten to death.
About half an hour later, the woman did not move, her lower body was bleeding, her mouth made a slight painful sound, she was faintly gasping, her face was pale, and she was still alive.
"I'll send you some blood-tonifying medicine in the evening." The man looked at the woman's pale appearance, and although he couldn't bear to look at it, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Okay." The woman said, her voice weak and light, as if relieved.
Bai Jing was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly left here and returned to the courtyard, he only felt strange that there were such things in this city lord's mansion, this man and woman looked either rich or expensive, not like a maid, and in this city lord's mansion, in addition to the maid and the housekeeper, it seemed that there were only three rich people in the city lord's mansion, the city lord's wife and the city lord's sister.
It's no secret that this city lord's wife is infertile for life, isn't it......
Bai Jing thought about it, and only felt incredible, but he remembered the freak that the woman said before, and suddenly had an epiphany, it turned out that this city lord and his sister had an inexplicable relationship.
But if that's the case, then why did his sister kill him?
When Hua Chen came back, the rain had just stopped, and she saw that Bai Jing rarely didn't read, so she was lying on the bed with her arms in a daze.
"Master, you're back." Bai Jing smiled happily as soon as he saw Hua Chen, and got off the bed directly and sat opposite Hua Chen.
Hua Chen took out a small sword from her sleeve, it was made of pure iron, extremely sharp, this was the one she found in the blacksmith shop, and it was the best match for Bai Jing.
"It's ...... Gave it to me? Bai Jing was a little flattered, before he complained that Hua Chen didn't teach him spells, but now he was surrounded by books given by Hua Chen, each of which was a treasure, and she even gave him a sword.
Hua Chen put the sword in Bai Jing's hand, "You will be able to use it." ”
Bai Jing took the little sword into his sleeve, thought about what he saw during the day, hesitated again and again, he felt that it was better not to tell Hua Chen, she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman, and the things in the day were too cruel.
In the courtyard of the city lord, the city lord Ming Shangjun had been pacing back and forth in the room, slightly uneasy.
"Shang Jun, my sister just has a cold, there are a lot of letters from the month, and it will be fine in a few days, you don't have to worry so much." The lady of the city lord was tidying up with the maid in the house, and she helped from time to time, but there was no shelf at all
"Really?" Ming Shangjun found a place to sit down and stopped pacing back and forth.
"As a man, you naturally don't understand this, you are really anxious, I will call the doctor to check the pulse with my sister."
"No need, since you said it will be fine soon, I naturally believe Madame." Ming Shangjun's face changed little by little, and he seemed to have left such troubles behind.
The maids silently withdrew from the room, and secretly sighed in their hearts that the relationship between the city lord and his wife was really good, respecting each other like guests, and raising their eyebrows. In this world, you probably can't meet a more gentle and dignified woman than the city lord's wife, and you can't meet a man as good as the city lord.
"Shangjun, you are so good to me." The city lord's wife sat next to the city lord with an affectionate face, her eyes were full of guilt, because of her body, Ming Shangjun has always taken good care of her, although she shared the bed at night, he didn't dare to do anything indiscriminately, just because the doctor said that it would hurt the foundation of the body, and the city lord's wife's body was born with a cripple, and it was best not to have sex.
"Silly girl, having you by my side is the best thing." Ming Shangjun took his wife into his arms and gently touched her back.
The face of the city lord's wife was full of sweetness, and she probably felt very happy.
At the beginning of the shower, Bai Jing rode out on a horse with a small sword, saying that he was going out to practice spells, and he would not return for a while, and only Hua Chen was left alone in the courtyard in the city lord's mansion.
As soon as Bai Jing left, the housekeeper hurriedly walked into the courtyard.
closed the door and knocked on Hua Chen's door directly.
Hua Chen was practicing spells in the house, and when he heard the sound, he floated to the door and opened the door.
"Oops, it's scared to death the old slave." The housekeeper was startled when he saw the person who opened the door floating in the air, his feet off the ground, and after seeing the person who came, he patted his chest and gasped, and half of his soul was frightened.
Hua Chen looked at the person outside the door without saying a word.
"Fairy, come with me quickly, the lady suddenly fainted, and the doctor said that he was tired of going back." The housekeeper directly grabbed Hua Chen boldly and walked out.
It turned out that this housekeeper came in a hurry for the matter of the city lord's wife, but didn't this city lord's wife die two years later, why did she faint now?
In the city lord's room, a group of doctors were driven out, and the city lord stood by the bed, looking at the woman on the bed with an affectionate face.
This city lord's wife is extremely beautiful and quite heroic, probably because her ancestors all practiced equestrianism, and they were born with a heroic posture that ordinary women do not have, and this kind of woman looks naturally different.
At that time, in front of many women, the city lord could not forget the city lord's wife at a glance, and on the second day, people lowered their posts to visit, and they couldn't wait.
At that time, the city lord's wife was married in a beautiful manner, which was a grand event in Guxu City.
"Ah Xiu, can you wake up and open your eyes and take a look at me?" The city lord grabbed the hand of the city lord's wife, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to confide.
The maids couldn't bear to see this scene, they all turned their heads, and even the doctors in the city couldn't do anything, this city lord's wife was afraid ......
"My lord, the old slave has brought the doctor, this doctor can do some strange tricks, and he will definitely be able to save the lady." The housekeeper pulled Hua Chen and hurried in from outside.
When the lord heard someone coming in, he looked outside the door and saw the butler walking in with a childish little girl.
"What nonsense." The city lord just saw Hua Chen's appearance and felt that the housekeeper was messing around, what can a little girl understand.
"City lord, let the girl take a look, she can really save Madame, and the old slave is willing to guarantee his life." The butler said anxiously.
After listening to the words of the old housekeeper, the city lord looked at Hua Chen again, and found that this woman was extremely beautiful, her face was cold, even if she saw the lord of a city, she didn't react much, she was not a layman at first glance, and the housekeeper dared to guarantee with her life, this woman must be extraordinary.
"Well, you can come and see her." The lord of the castle gave up his place.
