Chapter 56: Really Good People or False Righteousness
Time flies, time passes little by little, the sun rises and sets, sets and rises.
Dozens of days have passed, except for the old lady who sent someone over, even a superfluous fly seems to be reluctant to set foot in Lichun Pavilion. After the events of that night, Sima Guansheng seemed to be even more unpopular, and even the maids and wives in this Sima Mansion saw the wind, and no one wanted to step into Lichun Pavilion for half a step, for fear of standing on the wrong team.
Lichun Pavilion was even more deserted than before, so deserted that Sima Wansheng despaired.
On this day, she sat alone under the window, looking at the blue sky in a daze.
What blood debt blood repayment? What is the power to seize the position step by step?
Floating clouds, all floating clouds.
How useless he is, how can he have the ability to reverse his fate, avenge his mother, and seek power for the person he likes.
What a sham. ruined this lost skin, and failed all those who love him.
She took off the silver hairpin from her bun and held it in her hand, her eyes moistened inexplicably.
This moment of blow made her lose her way forward, and made her willing to fall and give up on herself. She still hasn't practiced a body of steel and iron, and she still has that soft and weak soul in her body.
Sima Guansheng's medicine was gone, and early this morning, Ling's mother took the prescription prescribed by Liu Liyue and went to the pharmacy to grab the medicine for her.
Ling's mother is cautious and cautious, she usually does this kind of thing by herself, and she never fakes the hands of others.
On the way back, she happened to bump into Mother Wen in Zhong Xiaoniang's house under the tea shed opposite Sima Mansion, whispering to the midwife at the east end of the street.
Mother Wen handed a heavy bag to the midwife, who took the bag, took out a silver ingot from it, put it in her mouth and bit it, looking like she was obsessed with money.
She didn't think much about it, glanced at it indifferently, and went straight back to Sima Mansion.
Back at Lichun Pavilion, she handed the medicine to Rushuang. I found a water-blue cloak with dark stripes from the house, and walked to the window to put it on for Sima Wansheng. He said in a low voice: "Girl, your body is weak, this window is windy, don't freeze." ”
When Sima Guansheng heard this, he raised his head slightly, looked at Mother Ling with his gentle watery eyes, and said, "Mother Ling is back!" Liu Gongzi is still in good health recently? ”
"Good, excellent. can eat and sleep, can talk and laugh, and don't forget to make fun of slave women. ”
"Oh! That's good. Sima Guansheng listened and lowered his head again.
Mother Ling was really worried when she saw that Sima Guansheng was still looking sick like this. She squatted down, grabbed Sima Guansheng's hand and said, "Girl, I see that you have been sullen for the past few days, is there something on your mind?" ”
Sima Guansheng shook his head and said nothing.
Mother Ling continued: "Say something that shouldn't be said, the slave woman really wants you to live like you taught Mother Wen that day. I do my own thing, and I am at ease. Ay! Helplessly, you were born in a famous and noble family, so you can only smooth out the edges and corners and be cautious in your words and deeds. ”
When Sima Guansheng heard this, a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and he muttered secretly in his heart: Why don't I want to? But just once, I paid the price of being beaten. The master and servant of Liuying Pavilion are not good stubble.
Mother Ling is trying everything to make Sima Guansheng more energetic, even if she talks more.
But recently, Sima Guansheng has been like being dumbfounded, with few words and malaise.
Mother Ling saw that Sima Guansheng still didn't react, and happened to think of the scene she had just seen at the door of Sima Mansion, so she got up and wandered around the house and said, "Girl, do you say that this master and servant of the Zhong family is really a good person, or is it a fake benevolence?" Just now at the door, the slave woman saw Mother Wen beside her, whispering to the midwife in the corner and at the east end of the city, and gave the midwife a lot of silver taels. When the eldest lady gave birth to you, she was also busy looking for a midwife, and now that the Lu family is about to give birth, she won't be helping the Lu family find a midwife, right? The head of the family has let out the words, if the Lu family gives birth to a baby boy, he will make the Lu family his wife. She has been in charge for more than ten years, and she will be so generous, not only does she not care, but she helps? ”
Anyway, Ling's mother didn't believe it if she was killed, she didn't think that Zhong Xiaoniang was as kind as she seemed to be.
When Sima Guansheng heard this, he immediately came to his senses.
It is not difficult for her to guess that Zhong Xiaoniang's abnormal behavior must be to repeat the tragedy that happened to her mother and daughter back then.
You can ignore your own life and death for the time being, but you can't see death without help. watched the Lu mother and son being poisoned by Zhong Xiaoniang.
The kindness in her heart reawakened her, reinvigorated her, and made her feel that she was still alive. After some inner struggle, she finally decided that she must save the Lu mother and daughter from Zhong Xiaoniang.
She said hurriedly: "Mother Ling, you go outside to inquire and see if the midwife invited for Aunt Lu in the house is the one in the east of the city, don't be too public." In addition, I would like you to go to the Bai Clan Medical Center again and ask Liu Gongzi to prepare some laxatives for me, so that I can see immediate results. ”
Mother Ling was caught off guard by Sima Guansheng's words, she looked at Sima Guansheng in surprise, and only came back to her senses after half a sound.
Urgently: "Girl, what are you?" ”
"Mother Ling doesn't need to ask more, just do it, I have my own measure, this is saving people."
"Well, the slave doesn't ask. The slave woman will do it, Rushuang will decoct the medicine in the kitchen, and the girl will have no more left to drink later. ”
Sima Guansheng didn't say anything more, Ling's mother said, and exited the room in confusion. But she was happy in her heart, no matter how abnormal Sima Wansheng's behavior was, it was better than being depressed and having no love!
Ling's mother squeezed into a pile of maids and mothers-in-law, and knocked on the side to find out the news for Sima Guansheng.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, every household is decorated with lanterns to celebrate the annual New Year.
Sima Mansion is no exception, from the gate to the front yard, then to the backyard, and then to the courtyards of each house, there are flaming red lanterns and all kinds of festive paper-cuts posted. The whole house was full of joy.
Except, of course, the Pavilion of the Pavilion.
The gate of the Wuwu Pavilion is still locked, and there are occasional food in the past, but they are all put down and left, and even these lowly maids and women feel that this place is unlucky. In addition, Su Xiaoniang cried wolf in the middle of the night, which made the Wuge Pavilion veil gloomy and terrifying.
Sima Qu has never set foot in the Wuwu Pavilion since then, and by the time Su Xiaoniang realized that she had been deceived and clamored to see Sima Qu, it was already too late, and her madness had become a fact.
The more she yelled, the more she defended herself, and the more she thought she was crazy in the eyes of outsiders.
She instigated Sima Daining, who came to visit, to plead with Sima Qu and begged Sima Qu not to put her under house arrest, but to no avail.
You know, this is what the old lady meant, this is a big holiday, Sima Qu doesn't want to block the old lady for her. only let Sima Dai Ning take the words back, saying that let her think about it, and when the time comes, she will naturally let her out.
Sima Qu took the opportunity of the New Year's greetings to come to the door with a generous gift to apologize to General Chu Minghong. Between the old men, they are not as scheming as women, and the two quickly laughed and hated each other, regardless of the past.
