Chapter 287: Debt

She didn't expect Chu Jingchuan to forgive her for her selfishness back then, but at least he didn't hold a grudge against her, gave up that bright and upright temperament, and turned to a dark corner, where resentment grew wantonly.

He has always spoken and acted in a fair manner, but now he has learned to be cynical.

Thinking of his cold words was enough to make Meng Xilan's heart cold.

All the way back to the palace from the Chu family, Meng Xilan kept sighing, looking extremely distressed.

Zhu Lu couldn't help but comfort: "Niangniang, don't worry so much about it, there is still Master Jiao in everything." Master Jiao's medical skills are outstanding, he will definitely be able to cure Miss Jingwen. ”

Meng Xilan sighed again when she heard this.

No matter how good Jiao Changqing's medical skills are, Chu Jingwen must be able to hold on.

After returning to the palace, Meng Xilan began to make arrangements, she first asked Chang Hai to bring the roster of the Internal Affairs Office, and then circled all the palace maids who were over fourteen years old and proficient in pharmacology.

To do things for her, Chang Hai naturally did his best, and selected more than a dozen in less than half an hour.

Meng Xilan personally selected six people from them, and then divided them into two shifts and sent them to Chu Mansion to take care of Chu Jingwen's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The Chu family has the maids of the Chu family, but Meng Xilan hopes that someone can report Chu Jingwen's situation to her every day, especially her food, clothing, housing and transportation, all of which are arranged properly for her to rest assured.

Zhou Youchen and Chu Jingwen, they are all uneasy existences in Meng Xilan's heart. It's just that Zhou Youchen is thousands of miles away, even if she wants to take care of him, she has no chance. And Chu Jingwen is by her side, right within her reach. So, she has to do her best.

Zhou Youchen traveled long distances in the wind and snow, just to meet the place that everyone called the "barbarian land", just to win a victory that was completely his own. And Meng Xilan stayed in the capital, looking calm around, but in fact, the undercurrent continued.

It's not autumn yet, but it's getting colder.

As soon as she went out that day, Meng Xilan only felt a gust of cold wind blowing on her face.

"Why is the north wind blowing so early this year?"

Zhulu looked up and said softly.

"Mother, the slave will go and get you a cloak."

Zhu Qing took a thick cloak and put it on Meng Xilan, but no matter how thick she wore it, her body still felt cold.

She has been going to Chu's house a lot recently, which has caused a lot of people to talk behind her back.

No one cares if she and Chu Jingwen are friends, the only thing they care about is Meng Xilan's marriage contract with Chu Jingchuan.

The past is very reminiscent of the resurgence of love, and people are talking about it, but they don't know that at this moment, someone is suffering from illness.

After the weather turned cooler, Chu Jingwen's condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he never left the ginseng film every day. Occasionally, when she was sick, she had to ask Master Jiao to come over for acupuncture for her to stabilize her heart.

For some reason, Chu Jingwen has started to lose her hair recently, and it is very fierce.

Once upon a time, her hair was only loosely pulled up with a white jade crow's hairpin,

Meng Xilan saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.

She has been here more often, and Carefree has gradually developed a good impression of her.

She was a lovely child, and after getting along slowly, Meng Xilan only felt that she had completely inherited the advantages of Chu Jingwen, and she couldn't see the slightest shadow of Zhou Youping on her body.

Although she is her daughter, she is not like him at all, I really don't know, this is a fortunate thing for worry-free.

After Chu Jingwen drank the medicine, she looked at Meng Xilan and said, "I remember that Niangniang used to dislike the smell of medicine. In the future, when I take medicine, Niangniang should go outside to avoid it. It's good to be with you in the past......"

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "That was all when I was a child. How do you remember? People change, and I have changed. ”

Chu Jingwen's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and she lowered her head and smiled: "Yes, Niangniang has really changed a lot." ”

Her tone suddenly became melancholy, and Meng Xilan diverted the topic and said, "I asked Zhulu to boil some bird's nest porridge, you can taste it later." ”

"Hmm." Chu Jingwen replied softly.

After a while, she suddenly Meng Xilan said: "Niangniang, let Wuwu go back to the palace with you today, okay?" ”

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and only said, "It's so decent, why did you mention this?" ”

Chu Jingwen looked at the sky outside the window, only to feel that the sun was just right, and even felt that the thin wind sound was very good.

"I've been in this bed for too long, and I haven't hung out with Carefree in a while. She's too young to spend all day around my bedside, so she takes her to the palace, where she lived when she was a child......"

She didn't even have the strength to get out of bed now, and her face was pale and ugly. She didn't want her daughter to see her like this, she wanted her to only remember her mother's gentle and beautiful appearance.

"Jingwen, what the hell are you thinking? Are you really willing to let me take the worry away? Meng Xilan could see through her thoughts at a glance, and said bluntly: "If I really take Wuwu away, you will regret it in less than half an hour." ”

Chu Jingwen smiled bitterly and said, "Niangniang, don't worry, I'm already a person who has no strength to regret it now." ”

"Shizumon!" Meng Xilan spoke up to stop her, how could she say such frustrated words casually.

Chu Jingwen glanced at her, and her chest began to hurt again.

Meng Xilan's eyebrows frowned slightly, she really couldn't bear to see her like this, so she just didn't look away.

Suddenly, she finally agreed.

"Okay, I'll take Wuwu back today, but I'll send her back myself early tomorrow morning."

Chu Jingwen had a smile on her face when she heard this, pale and weak.

When she went back, Meng Xilan hugged Wu Wu tightly with a thick cloak, revealing only a pair of eyes.

It's been a long time since Sanssouci has been out of the yard, and she blinks at everything around her, just seeing a tree, and it makes her happy.

Meng Xilan hugged her and walked forward, and happened to bump into Chu Jingchuan and Song Liniang opposite.

The couple came to see Chu Jingwen, but the person who passed the message didn't explain it, and thought that Meng Xilan had left, but unfortunately they met again.

Chu Jingchuan looked at her holding no worries, and couldn't help frowning: "Niangniang, this is ......"

Meng Xilan glanced at the couple and said truthfully, "I'm going to take Wuwu back to the palace today." ”

"What?" Chu Jingchuan's eyes narrowed.

"Oh, I see. Carefree has always been a very well-behaved child, and he will definitely be obedient. ”

Song Liniang stepped forward as she spoke, reaching out to touch her carefree little face.

Worry-free turned his head directly and dodged, making Song Liniang slightly embarrassed.

Meng Xilan hugged Wu Wu a little tighter, and coaxed softly: "We can see carp in a while, many, many carp." ”

Worry-free grinned when he heard this, and nestled in her arms with peace of mind.

Chu Jingchuan glanced at Meng Xilan and didn't say anything, just strode into the house, looking angry.

When he went in to take a look, he found that Chu Jingwen was secretly wiping his tears alone, and immediately asked, "Jingwen, what are you suffering from?" Worry-free is all you have, do you want to give up even her in the end? ”

Chu Jingwen raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "I said earlier, no matter what, I want to let Wuwu get everything she deserves." ”

"Jingwen, are you sick and confused? That's your daughter, who else in this world can be her mother but you? And also...... Why do you believe in Meng Xilan so much? ”

In a moment of excitement, Chu Jingchuan finally said what he wanted to say most in his heart.

Chu Jingwen looked at her brother's dark eyes and asked rhetorically, "Doesn't my brother believe in Xilan?" ”

"Believe? What do you want me to believe in her again? ”

It took Chu Jingchuan three years to recover from the disappointment that Meng Xilan gave him, and it took him three years to understand a truth. That is, the woman Meng Xilan has completely left him. At the moment when he was still thinking about her and waiting for her, she already belonged to someone else.

She didn't give up on him, she betrayed him.

"My brother doesn't believe it, it's okay. I just believe it. Chu Jingwen wiped away the tears on her face, and said with a firm gaze: "Except for Xi Lan, no one can help me do everything I want to do." ”

While speaking, Song Liniang walked in slowly, looked at the faces of the two of them, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Jingchuan glanced back at her: "You go back first." ”

He still needs to tell his sister if he wants to do something.

Song Liniang's expression stiffened, "My lord, did the concubine do something wrong?" ”

Chu Jingchuan sighed slightly: "No, it's just that my sister and I have something to say." It's not appropriate for you to stay here. ”

She had to ask him to make it clear, it was very hurtful.

Sure enough, a trace of hurt flashed on Song Liniang's face when she heard this.

Chu Jingwen had no choice but to round the field for him and said, "Sister-in-law, don't mind. My brother and I have nothing to say about worry-free. ”

Song Liniang slowed down for a moment, and her expression instantly returned to normal and said, "I know, I'll go back." ”

After she left, Chu Jingwen looked at her brother and said, "Brother, don't treat your sister-in-law like this, she will be sad." ”

"Her business is not important, the most important person now is you!"

"Brother, I'm not important at all. From the day I left the palace and came back here, I became an unimportant person. Brother, it's okay if I'm not important, it's just a pity that it's worry-free...... She's still so young, she shouldn't have been wronged with me. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did you let her be wronged? Or are we doing something wrong? Chu Jingchuan couldn't understand her thoughts.

Chu Jingwen burst into tears, looked at Chu Jingchuan and asked word by word: "Brother, have you ever seen your father and mother looking at each other with carefree eyes?" Do you know how cold and disgusting it is? Brother, with my current body, I can't leave here with worry-free, I can't do it. What I can't do, I wish someone could do it for me! It is the best way to let Xi Lan take care of worry-free, thinking about the past, thinking about her debt to the Chu family, thinking about her guilt towards you, she will definitely take good care of worry-free and grow up. She will give her everything she wants, give her everything she deserves. ”

She knows Meng Xilan's character very well, she seems to have changed a lot, but she hasn't changed inside.

Meng Xilan has always been in her heart and has always remembered that her debt to the Chu family and her brother will become the best stepping stone in this life.
