Chapter Forty-Three: Qiaoluo

In the dim night, the blood-colored mottled blue clothes at the entrance of the West Garden were inexplicably conspicuous.

Zheng Qiuqiu was holding a bamboo salt jar and standing under the porch with a shocked face, she has always been a schadenfreude, and she was also frightened by the paralyzed flesh at the door.

Zheng Qiuqiu is indeed not a good character, but he has not done anything evil in the end.

Aunt Guo's original status as a maid and her low-minded posture over the years, coupled with the same superficial nature of their mother and daughter, Lu only scolded a few words, and did not really make them suffer any big hardships.

Zheng Qiuqiu thought that the biggest harm in this life was just a few slaps from his mother-in-law.

Zheng Lingyi and Lu Nong ran towards the door, and when they saw that it was almost there, Zheng Lingyi slowed down and didn't dare to approach.

Qiao Luo was unconscious and was thrown here casually, his body was twisted, his arms were pressed under his body, and his fingertips seemed to be inserted into tubes, oozing blood out.

Lu Nong was half-kneeling beside Qiaoluo, she didn't have a piece of good meat on her body, and the whip marks were slanted, like a mandarin fish on the board that had been changed to a flower knife.

Lu Nong didn't know where to start, so that he could help her up without adding new injuries to her.

"Sister." Midori called out at a loss.

Zheng Lingyi turned around and ran away, shouting loudly, "Wait for me." ”

She hurried back to her side pavilion and threw the mattress on the floor, revealing four planks of wood a man wide underneath.

Her bed is not as spacious as that of Anheju, it is carved from a large mahogany throughout.

Fortunately, Zheng Lingyi was able to remove the plank from the bed, she first took a plank out, and then took a mattress out and spread it on the board.

"Midori, move Qiaoluo to this plank, and let's carry her in." Zheng Lingyi said calmly.

Aunt Wan and Qiaoxiu heard the movement and also came out to help.

Qiaoxiu and Lu Nong finally moved Qiaoluo lightly.

Aunt Guo also came out quietly, she rarely didn't say anything sarcastic, just covered Zheng Qiuqiu's eyes silently, and the two went back to the house together.

Aunt Jiang heard the noise outside early, but because Zheng Changchang was stubbornly abiding by Zheng Lingyi's instructions, she didn't let her get out of bed.

After a while, Aunt Wan walked in and said to Aunt Jiang: "Sister, Qiaoluo was beaten a little, but she is still sober, but she doesn't have the strength to come to see you, so you two should rest separately." ”

Aunt Jiang was skeptical when she heard this, but Aunt Wan came to the bedside and sat down, obviously looking at Aunt Jiang and not letting her get out of bed.

Aunt Jiang has also given birth to two children, and she knows that there are many places to pay attention to this confinement.

In the past, when she was still in the boudoir, she once saw the lady next door in confinement, and she was anxious to eat and choked. After that, every time I ate, I had to choke once, and I didn't fall back.

I thought that this Lu family was asking for guilt while she was in confinement, but she didn't expect to pass her and be angry with Zheng Lingyi and Qiaoluo.

But Zheng Lingyi and Qiao Luo are also back now, although they are all full of injuries, but this act of lifting high and gently putting it down is really not like Lu's style.

Aunt Jiang said to Aunt Wan: "Sister, is there anything going on outside?" ”

Aunt Wan didn't know Aunt Jiang's thoughts, so she asked in confusion: "What's the matter?" ”

Aunt Jiang couldn't say it clearly, shook her head, poked her head out the door, and hoped to see Qiao Luo walk in in a good manner.

Aunt Wan stood in front of Aunt Jiang, holding the bowl of reheated white porridge, and said, "Sister, take a bite." Even if you want to find out the news, you have to wait for the Ming Dynasty. ”

Aunt Jiang didn't want to cause trouble to others, so she nodded.

When Aunt Wan went out, she quietly took out the medicine that Zheng Yanru had brought.

Qiao Luo was placed in the side pavilion, originally Qiao Xiu wanted to carry Qiao Luo back to the maid's house, but the maid's house is in the innermost part of the West Garden, if there is a bump, Qiao Luo will suffer even more.

Moreover, the slave's house is cold in winter and hot in summer, which is not conducive to Qiaoluo's recuperation.

Qiao Luo's clothes were torn, Lu Nong and Zheng Lingyi each took a small pair of scissors and carefully cut her clothes.

Zheng Yangyang is a young lady, and she will marry in the future, and if she has scars on her body, she will lose her share to the Lu family.

When it comes to servants, they don't have this scruples.

The body was covered with whip marks, and one hit the side of the ear, and now the blood has clotted, which is the first criminal law method.

There are also plate marks on the buttocks, which are not only painful, but also humiliating.

There was even a long needle left on the fingertip, and the nails of the two little fingers had been pulled out, and the flesh and blood were blurry and unbearable to look at, and if a piece of feather landed on this fingertip, it would also make Qiao Luo shiver in pain.

Lu Nong and Qiaoxiu were already crying, and they didn't dare to reach out to pull out the needle.

Only Zheng Lingyi never shed a single tear, and only concentrated on applying medicine to Qiaoluo's wound.

Qiao Luo hadn't woken up yet, but he just screamed in pain from time to time, and writhed slightly, which was reassuring.

"Hold down Qiaoluo's hand, and I'll pull out the needle." Zheng Lingyi stared at Qiao Luo's fingertips and said.

Lu Nong held Qiaoluo's hand and said to Zheng Lingyi: "Sister, or, the slave and maid come." ”

Zheng Lingyi shook her head, she gritted her teeth, her movements were fast and decisive, Lu Nong only felt that Qiaoluo's hand flicked lightly, and the broken needle appeared in Zheng Lingyi's hand.

Zheng Lingyi wrapped a long needle in gauze, pulled out the needle, and her hands began to tremble slightly.

Lu Nong admits that he doesn't have this ability, and he is very glad that he didn't insist on being strong.

"Fifteen sisters, fifteen sisters?" Suddenly there was a woman's soft cry outside the door.

Zheng Lingyi recognized the voice, quickly reacted, and said, "It's Zhiqiu." ”

She went out to take a look, and sure enough, it was Zhiqiu who came with a lot of wound medicine, and asked Zhiqiu instead of Zhixia to deliver the medicine, which shows that Zheng Yanru is not blind to Zhixia.

Zhiqiu saw that Zheng Lingyi's sleeve was stained with blood, and understood that she was treating Qiaoluo's injuries.

After all, she was also a servant girl, she was a little moved in her heart, and said softly: "Fifteenth sister, our third sister is also in love." ”

"Yes, I know. Qiao Luo was able to pick up a life, thanks to the third sister. Zheng Lingyi's words are sincere.

Zhiqiu looked a little unrelievable, and said lightly: "Sister, don't say that." The third sister went to beg Mrs., and she also scolded her, and then there was a big mess in the outer courtyard. Madame couldn't take care of it for a while, so she transferred Aunt Hua out of the torture room. Sister Qiaoluo's mouth was very hard, and she couldn't ask anything, so she gave up. ”

As soon as he heard that there was a disturbance in the outer courtyard, Zheng Lingyi was stunned for a moment and said, "What kind of mess?" ”

Zhiqiu Fang just followed Zheng Yanru's side, but he heard it clearly, and said casually: "It seems that it is the accompanying student next to the fifth brother, and he called the thirteenth brother to kill him with one punch." This scholar grew up with the fifth brother when he was a child, and his feelings are naturally not ordinary. The fifth brother took the horse whip and wanted to whip the thirteenth brother, but he didn't know martial arts, so he asked the thirteenth brother to take the whip and whipped the fifth brother in the face carelessly. ”

Zheng Rong'an is the master of the country, if it weren't for the banner of Zheng Guogong, he, a sesame mung bean official, would not be taken seriously.

Tomorrow is not the time to rest, Zheng Rong'an received that whip on his face, so naturally he can't go to Guozijian.

With his arrogant temper, I'm afraid it's even angrier than the death of a companion.

No wonder the Lu family will put Qiaoluo back, Zheng Guogong will not come to the back house for a few days, Zheng Lingyi originally speculated that he would come today, but those two baby bumps have such a thing, and they will definitely not come today.

Zheng Lingyi thought of the whip marks on Qiaoluo's body, and felt extremely relieved, but said to Zhiqiu with a sad look on his face: "I see, thank you Sister Zhiqiu for coming to send medicine." ”

Zhiqiu is the big girl promoted by Zheng Yanru herself, and her temperament is the same as Zheng Yanru's, although she doesn't care about idle things on weekdays, she is also a kind and peaceful person.

She only smiled, and left in a hurry and sneaky.

Zheng Lingyi was about to close the door, but when he saw Brother Qing coming out of nowhere, he walked up to her quickly, looked at the wound medicine in her hand, and said angrily: "Why did you bewitch the third sister to treat you like this!?" ”

Zheng Lingyi timidly held a bunch of wound medicines, looked up at Brother Qing as if he had mustered up courage, and said, "Brother Sister Qing, the third sister is my own sister." Shouldn't it? ”

This is naturally true, but it is extremely ironic when placed in the back house of this country's mansion.

Brother Qing was so speechless by such a sentence that she stared at Zheng Lingyi and said coldly: "Sister do it yourself, don't think that if you are next to the third sister, you will be able to worry about everything." ”

Zheng Lingyi didn't speak again, but just burst into tears with some grievances.

After Brother Qing left, she blinked, closed the door, and the tears disappeared in a flash.

Zheng Yanru's injury medicine is naturally good, but Qiaoluo has been tortured for a day and has already started a high fever.

Zheng Lingyi was embarrassed to delay Aunt Wan and Qiaoxiu, so he asked them to go back.

Aunt Jiang still sneaked out of bed and took a look at Qiaoluo, but fortunately, Qiaoluo's quilt was tightly covered, and she couldn't see the scars.

Zheng Lingyi said it half-truthfully and coaxed Aunt Jiang to sleep.

Lu Nong waited for the cold handkerchief, twisted a few handfuls of water and became warm, so he had to change it one by one.

When Lu Nong came in with clean cold water, he said casually with some doubts: "It's really strange today, it's still very lively and noisy outside." ”

Zheng Lingyi was feeding Qiaoluo water, and said lightly in a tone that had nothing to do with him: "The fifth brother and the thirteenth brother have an accident, so they are naturally going to have a sleepless night tonight." ”

Lu Nong responded as if he didn't understand, and said: "Actually, I really don't understand, Mrs. should discipline her buddies well, let them be motivated, earn a future, and then take a good daughter-in-law and give birth to a litter of fat grandchildren." Below is the regeneration of ten or eight, what can hinder her, she has always been the eldest lady. ”

Lu Nong's words were very interesting, Zheng Lingyi smiled slightly, the smile quickly dissipated, and said: "If everyone in the world thinks like Lu Nong, everyone's life will be much better." But there is a genius among the concubines, and the concubines can't catch up even if they pat the horse, so what should they do? ”

Lu Nong changed the handkerchief on Qiaoluo's forehead, and couldn't answer after thinking about it for a long time, and finally had to say: "That's what he should do." ”

"It's his fate." Zheng Lingyi laughed self-deprecatingly and muttered, "Is that fate all destined?" ”
