Chapter 124: Behind Bars
After the banquet, Rouxin returned to the garden with Wei Wujing. She felt physically and mentally exhausted, hungry and hungry.
Cui'er brought food. Rouxin changed the white costume, and put the phoenix hairpin and bead flower on the clothes. Cui'er took it when she went out.
Rouxin looked at the delicious food on the table and didn't move her chopsticks. She had to be careful now.
"What? Afraid of poison in the food? The matchmaker smiled outside the window.
"It's not poisonous, I'm afraid that there will be some croton or something like that will hurt people!" Although Rouxin has a gentle temperament, she is never afraid of vicious people!
"If you don't eat it, forget it! Cui'er! Withdrawn! The matchmaker turned around and left.
Cui'er picks up the food into the food box. When she turned to go out, she stuffed a hard-boiled egg into Rouxin's hand.
Rouxin knows that Cui'er sometimes can't help herself. She doesn't blame her.
Wei Wujing's actions were clear, but he pretended not to know.
Rouxin felt that it was not a way to go on like this, she couldn't stop eating and drinking! So, Rouxin asked Cui'er for help.
Cui'er was afraid that the matchmaker would retaliate against her, so she refused to help Rouxin at first.
Rouxin said that the matchmaker would not know. Cui'er listened to Rouxin's plan before agreeing.
The next day, Wei Wujing was in the room looking at this year's general ledger. Cui'er said anxiously at the door of the house: "Master! The soft-hearted girl is unconscious! ”
Wei Wujing listened, put down the account book, and walked out. He inquired about the situation as he walked.
Cui'er said that after eating lunch, Rouxin said that her abdomen was uncomfortable and she lay down. She went to pour a cup of hot water for Rouxin, but she couldn't wake her up anymore.
Wei Wujing entered the soft heart's room. He glanced at the food on the table and walked over to the bed. Rouxin's face was bloodless.
"Go and ask Lang Zhong to come over!" Wei Wujing probed the breath of Rouxin. Cui'er ran out.
Wei Wujing stood in front of Rouxin's bed and waited for a long time, but Lang Zhong didn't come. He walked to the door and shouted, "Someone! ”
"Master!" A man in a green shirt and a mask jumped from among the trees.
"Go to the West Courtyard and ask Lang Zhong to come over!" Wei Wujing's heart was already angry at this time. He vaguely guessed that Cui'er might have been stopped by the matchmaker.
Lang Zhong checked Rouxin's pulse, and then said: "Half an hour later, I'm afraid she will be hopeless!" ”
"Still not rescued?" Wei Wujing didn't know why he was in a hurry. Maybe his mother died of a sudden illness. This burned the root of his heart.
Lang Zhong gave Rouxin a pill and poured it with water. Wei Wujing watched Lang Zhong take the silver needle and stab the middle finger of Rouxin's right hand, and he grabbed Lang Zhong's hand.
"Is Childe saving people or not?" Lang Zhong looked up at Wei Wujing and asked.
Wei Wujing let go of his hand, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. Before his mother died, Lang Zhong used a silver needle to save her and died.
Lang Zhong squeezed out the black blood that was in the finger of Rou's heart. Gentle heart gradually woke up.
"What is she?" Wei Wujing looked at Lang Zhong who was sorting out the medicine box and asked.
"Food poisoning!" Lang Zhong glanced at the dishes left on the table.
"Rouxin!" Cui'er ran back panting.
"Say! Where have you been in the past half a day? Wei Wujing turned to look at Cui'er.
"The slave doesn't dare to say it!" Cui'er knelt down.
"It's a matchmaker!" Wei Wujing frowned. Cui'er fell to her knees.
"Someone! Put the matchmaker in the dungeon! Wei Wujing clenched his fists.
Wei Wujing walked out of the soft room. Cui'er hurriedly ran to Rouxin's bed.
"I'm fine!" Rouxin said softly.
Cui'er lay on top of her and cried. While crying, she told Rouxin that she was stopped and locked up by the matchmaker on her way to invite Langzhong. If it weren't for Gongzi's other people to invite Lang Zhong in time, Rouxin's life would not have been saved.
Rouxin said that even then, she didn't blame Cui'er. Cui'er cried even more when she heard this. She said that if Rouxin died, the matchmaker would not let her go! So she desperately escaped!
Rouxin said sorry to Cui'er, she almost hurt Cui'er. Cui'er said that wherever Rouxin goes in the future, she will follow her! Rouxin took Cui'er's hand and nodded.
One day a month later, Wei Wujing went to the dungeon with Rouxin.
The matchmaker has lost her former demeanor in the dungeon. Her face was haggard.
"Say it! I want to hear the truth! Wei Wujing ordered someone to open the prison door, and then he turned his head to look at Rouxin beside him.
"She does her hands and feet in the meals every day, and I really ......"
"So you're risking your life?" Wei Wujing's face instantly turned pale. It was the first time he had made a wrong judgment, but the other party was a little maid!
"Yes!" Rou Xin knew that before Wei Wujing brought her here, she must have found out what had happened.
"In that case! I've punished her for her mistakes! Wei Wujing looked at Rouxin. He wanted to see how she would excuse herself.
But Rouxin walked into the cell without saying anything. This was indeed beyond Wei Wujing's expectations.
The matchmaker stood up against the wall. She lowered her head and said, "I was wrong! ”
"You're right! It's just that you're not ruthless enough! If you can't fight, others should be punished! Wei Wujing turned around and walked out of the cell.
The matchmaker glanced at Rouxin and followed out. The moment the cells were closed, Rouxin closed her eyes weakly.
The candle flame on the low table flickered twice and was completely extinguished. Rouxin was plunged into endless darkness.
After some time, the door to the cell opened. The guards of the cells held half a candle in their hands.
"Cui'er!" A look of joy appeared on Rouxin's face. Cui'er is alive!
"Softheart! I didn't say anything! You trust me! Cui'er crouched down and grabbed Rouxin's hand.
"It doesn't matter if you say it or not! It's good that you're alive! Rouxin wiped the tears on Cui'er's face with her hands.
The guard placed the candle and food box on the low table, and then he closed the door to his cell and left.
"Come on! Let's have a bite to eat! Rouxin opened the food box and brought out the food.
"You're not afraid......" Cui'er held down Rouxin's hand to pick up the chopsticks.
"Now that we're here, what are we afraid of?" She smiled softly.
"But I don't want to die!" Cui'er lowered her head.
"Then I'll eat first!" Rouxin felt that she was indeed hungry. She ate deliciously.
Wei Wujing, who was standing in the shadows, became more and more interested in Rouxin. What kind of person is she?
"Eat! It's all right! Rouxin handed another pair of chopsticks to Cui'er. Cui'er took the chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp.
"I'd like to see how you get out!" Wei Wujing laughed and left.
Ten days later, Rouxin and Cui'er lost their smiles. The dungeon is dark and damp, and it is not possible to take a bath. Rouxin felt that she had a bad smell on her body!
Gotta find a way out! Rouxin pondered secretly in her heart. She glanced at Cui'er beside her for a while, and then asked her, "Do you have any good people in the garden?" ”
"How do you know?" After Cui'er finished speaking, she covered her mouth nervously.
"We've got to find a way to get out!" Rouxin took Cui'er's hand.
"He's just a subordinate, he can't help with this!" Cui'er pulled out her arm.
"All he has to do is get the word out that I'm being locked up in a dungeon! You don't want to stay here for the rest of your life, do you? Rouxin looked into Cui'er's eyes and said.
"He can do that. He is in charge of the vegetable procurement in the garden, and he can come and go in the garden freely! Cui'er said with her chin on her chin chin chin lifted.
