Chapter 66: Cold Punishment
After saying this, the mother took a sip of water from the cup in front of her, and then slipped her hand, and the cup fell to the ground.
"The floor is dirty."
She spoke slowly, looking up at me with a cold gaze, "Go get a rag and wipe it clean." β
If it weren't for the fact that Mother Jiang's eyes fell on me at this time, I would never have thought that this was what Mother Jiang had been mentally disturbed saying to me.
I was a little at a loss, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Xiyi sitting next to me.
Jiang Xiyi also raised his head and looked at me with cold eyes.
Even if I didn't speak, I roughly knew what Jiang Xiyi meant.
Taking a deep breath, I stood up without saying anything.
In the eyes of the Jiang family, the source of all the mistakes is on me, and if it weren't for me, they wouldn't be what they are now.
Bringing the rag from the study, I squatted down in front of Jiang's mother.
There were also some glass shards on the floor, and I carefully picked them up and threw them in the trash.
I was already very careful, but because I was facing away from the door to avoid the light, I still didn't hurt my hand.
The glass shards were stuck in my fingers, and I shuddered as I watched the blood flow out of my fingers.
But for me, I couldn't feel the pain anymore.
Numbly throwing the glass slag into the trash, I took the rag and began to wipe the water stains on the ground.
"Xi Yi."
Mother Jiang spoke again, "You remember, it's true that she is your wife, but she is not the daughter-in-law in my heart, if she is really willing to marry, I won't say anything, but just play around, don't take it seriously." β
This sentence was like a needle inserted into my heart.
I just felt so much pain that I couldn't breathe.
"Got it, Mom."
Jiang Xiyi replied indifferently beside him, as if this was such an easy request.
Do you know what, do you know to kick me out as soon as possible?
I bit my lip and held back the tears in my eyes.
It is true that if Jiang Xiyi took the initiative to divorce me, it would not be a good thing.
I am in the Jiang family, in front of Jiang Xiyi, and I have always lived like myself.
And didn't Liang Buwei say that I shouldn't stay with Jiang Xiyi.
I'm the ticking time bomb.
Letting the feeling in my heart slowly settle down, I got up and prepared to put the rag in the kitchen.
"By the way, the few clothes I just changed into haven't been washed yet, you go wash them."
After speaking, Jiang's mother spoke again: "There are also those maids' clothes, they work very hard every day, you wash them together." β
"The maid's clothes?"
I looked up in surprise and looked into Mother Jiang's eyes in disbelief.
Why?
"That's right." Mother Jiang had no expression on her face, and her words were even more natural, "Moreover, it must be hand washed!" β
I can't express the feelings in my heart in words, so I looked up at Mother Jiang in front of me, and the coldness in my body rushed straight through.
It took me a long time to agree with a stiff and blunt voice.
In the somewhat cold bathroom, I looked at the three large basins full of clothes in front of me, and pulled the corners of my mouth with a wry smile.
The efficiency of the Jiang family's servants is really high, and after a few minutes of Jiang's mother's words, they really found three large basins of dirty clothes.
The water is cold.
I asked if there was any hot water, but the maid just gave me a sneering look.
In the Jiang family, everyone acts according to the eyes of the master, and everyone knows in their hearts that I am not the real Jiang family.
The wound on my finger hurt so badly that I gritted my teeth and began to wash it.
Three or four hours have passed since the laundry was finished.
When I stood up, I just felt dizzy and almost unable to stand.
If it weren't for the wall around me, I'd have fallen to the ground by now.
My whole body hurt so badly that I dried my clothes and came out, looking at the sky that was completely dark.
"Xi Yi, have you already gone back?"
Looking at the servants passing by, I asked cautiously.
The servant looked up at me, rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Of course, is it possible that you are still ready to let the young master wait for you?" β
I pursed my lips and didn't speak.
I never had the luxury of waiting for me for a while.
The coat was no longer on the sofa, I hugged my cold arms, endured the feeling of hunger and cold, and walked out of the gate of the Jiang family's old house.
I can only rely on myself.
There weren't any cars around here, and I didn't see a car coming from the side of the road for a long time.
The night cooled down, and I could see the white fog when I took a breath, and I was only wearing a thin woolen sweater, and I couldn't suppress the shivering of the cold at this time.
Let's walk you for a while, maybe it will be a little warmer as you walk.
I don't know if I've been walking like this for a long time, I just feel numb all over my body, and my whole body is starting to get groggy.
I am.
I can't hold it anymore.
Suddenly, the mobile phone I was holding in my hand vibrate, and I quickly answered it.
"Hey Xi Yi!"
I haven't been home for so long, and subconsciously I thought that the person over there was Jiang Xiyi.
It was only when I heard Lu Qinghua's voice that my heart sank.
"Chi Chi, where are you?"
The hope that had finally risen disappeared again, and I reluctantly showed a wry smile.
I'm so naΓ―ve, if Jiang Xiyi really cares about me, how could he let me walk back alone at night.
"I, I'm ......" In fact, I don't even know what this place is, "Tsinghua, do you have something to do?" β
It was so cold that I couldn't even speak in a different voice.
Over there, Lu Qinghua heard the change in my voice, and asked a little nervously, "What's wrong with you, where are you?" β
I wanted to speak, and I opened my mouth to tell Lu Qinghua that I was here, but I couldn't speak, and I could only make a muffled voice in my throat.
"Delay, don't speak! Now send me a location and I'll be right over. β
I hummed hard, and then tremblingly took my mobile phone, opened Lu Qinghua's WeChat, and only sent the location to the past.
My hands were so stiff that I couldn't curl up, and I couldn't move anymore, so I could only slowly squat down.
But even so, I still couldn't feel the warmth.
Many years later, I remember that night I was on the side of the road, enduring the bitter cold.
I don't know how long I waited, but I just felt my consciousness disappear little by little.
Eventually, I couldn't hold on.
After a long time, I heard someone calling me in my ear, and after slowly opening my eyes, I met Lu Qinghua's eyes.
"Late, delayed, have you woken up?" Lu Qinghua looked at me with some joy, he stretched out his hand and held my face with a warm palm.
It's so warm.
I was hugged into the car by Lu Qinghua, the car was full of heating, and I exhaled comfortably.
"Don't sleep, don't sleep, move first."
Lu Qinghua said anxiously, taking off his coat and draping it on my body.
Because I had been freezing for so long, my body was like a popsicle at this time, and I couldn't move for a long time.
It took Lu Qinghua a lot of effort to let me put on his clothes.
"Hands, I'll look at your hands."
Lu Qinghua took my hand out of his sleeve, and when he saw my soaked white hand, he was stunned.
"What's going on?"
The cells in my body seemed to be coming back to life little by little, but I still couldn't speak.
I looked at Lu Qinghua like this and shook my head slightly.
"I'll take you to the hospital, you'll have sequelae like this."
After speaking, Lu Qinghua stretched out his hand to open the car door, and I used my last bit of strength to pull Lu Qinghua's sleeve.
No, you can't go to the hospital.
If we pass in this situation, we will definitely be recognized, I don't care, but Lu Qinghua still has a good future, I can't let him fall into the abyss because of me.
Lu Qinghua's eyes turned red, and he met my eyes, with restraint in his voice.
"Okay, let's not go to the hospital, I'll take you back to my house, okay?"
I blinked, and it counted as agreement.
Anyway, I've got it back.
On the way back, I felt that the blood in my body began to circulate, Lu Qinghua drove very fast, and it didn't take long for me to arrive at Lu Qinghua's villa.
"Delayed." Lu Qinghua got down and opened the car door and picked me out of the car.
I wanted to reach out and put my hand on Lu Qinghua's neck, but I still didn't need any strength for a long time.
That's it, my body is really delicate enough.
Lu Qinghua did not take me to the guest room, but took me to the big bed in his bedroom.
Covering me tightly with the quilt, Lu Qinghua went to the bathroom to pick up a basin of hot water, and carefully wiped my face with a hot towel.
"I called the family doctor over, don't worry, that doctor is my distant relative, my body has always been taken care of by him, there will be no problems."
I nodded, and moved my lips.
I can't make a sound, but Lu Qinghua should be able to understand.
I'm talking about two words of thanks.
Not long after, the family doctor Lu Qinghua said came, and when he entered the door and saw me lying down, there was a little surprise in his eyes, and then his eyes fell on Lu Qinghua.
"Uncle Cousin." Lu Qinghua stepped forward, "This is my friend, she seems to be frostbitten, you can take a look quickly." β
The doctor who was called Uncle Cousin by Lu Qinghua looked down, nodded and hurriedly came to the bedside to examine me.
"The body temperature is thirty-five degrees five, which is still low, I'll give her an injection, you go and turn the air conditioner up a little bit first."
After hearing this, Lu Qinghua nodded busily, and turned up the temperature with the remote control.
I raised my eyelids and saw beads of sweat on Lu Qinghua's forehead.
In the weather of minus a few degrees, was Lu Qinghua hot by the warm wind, or was he sweating in a hurry?
After the injection, I felt better all over my body, and the temperature of my body began to slowly come back.
