Chapter 253: Backfire
Xiao Linghui jumped to the side and dodged Lan Hai's impact.
Then I saw her find a sheltered corner and place the stove, and poured the prepared medicinal materials into the medicine jar, and made a fire to decoct the medicine.
Xiao Linghui squatted beside her and asked in a low voice, "Tell me quickly, what happened to my mother and little sister?" Why does my little sister seem to be drowning? How did you get sick in the end? ”
Lan Hai looked up at him, his lips twitched a few times, then closed again, lowered his head and continued to shake the fan in his hand.
Xiao Linghui saw her like this, and immediately became anxious: "Oh, say it quickly, I'm in a hurry." ”
Probably seeing that Xiao Linghui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't bear it, Lan Hai finally opened his mouth: "Madam ordered, this matter must not be revealed to outsiders, otherwise we will be driven out of the house." ”
"I'm an outsider?" Xiao Linghui stood up and shouted, "Young Master Ben is Madame's own son, Weiwei's brother, is Young Master Ben an outsider?"
"Say it quickly, if you don't say it again, Young Master Ben will drive you out of the mansion now."
Lan Hai tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The deed of sale of the slave maid is in the hands of the young lady, and the sixteenth young master, you are not qualified to drive the slave maid." ”
Xiao Linghui choked, and when he was about to get angry, Lan Hai suddenly said faintly: "Madame wants Miss to learn to swim as soon as possible." ”
Lan Hai said this sentence and ignored Xiao Linghui anymore.
Xiao Linghui ran away.
He ran into the hot spring room that he and Xiao Lingwei had fought for before, and at this time, someone was cleaning the hot spring room.
"Sixteenth Young Master." The maids saluted him respectfully.
Xiao Linghui didn't look at them: "You go out first." ”
So, the girls went out.
Xiao Linghui walked to the edge of the hot spring pool, and when he looked inside, there was a faint heat on the water surface, and he seemed to be unable to see the bottom.
He walked around the hot spring pool again, and found that the steps that were supposed to be there were missing.
He stood by the edge of the pool and watched for a while, when suddenly his feet jumped up, and the next moment he fell back to the same place, but saw him look around and find a bamboo pole from the corner.
It turned out that he just wanted to jump down to test the depth of the water, but then he didn't want to get his clothes wet, so he found a measuring tool.
Xiao Linghui inserted the bamboo pole into the pool and slowly moved it down, and soon, his hand touched the surface of the water, and the bamboo pole had not yet been inserted into the bottom.
The next moment, Xiao Linghui took the bamboo pole out of the water, and visually inspected it, the bamboo pole was about more than a zhang long, and it had not yet touched the bottom of the pool, and it was initially estimated that the pool was about two zhang deep.
With Xiaomei's current height, she would definitely be scared if she jumped, not to mention that she had two terrifying experiences of drowning before.
Xiao Linghui's face showed contemplation, what is the purpose of the mother's transformation of the hot spring pool so generously?
If you want your little sister to learn to swim, you don't need to renovate the hot spring pool, you can also teach it.
Could it be that the mother wants to imitate the scene of Xiaomei's drowning, so that Xiaomei can completely overcome her fear.
Well, definitely.
But why is my mother so anxious?
Xiao Linghui was a little puzzled, in his opinion, Xiao Lingwei was still young, since she had a shadow in her heart, she should take it step by step, instead of letting Xiao Lingwei repeat the nightmare so roughly.
He suddenly remembered what the starling brother said about the Taiye Pool, could it be that his mother was so anxious because of this incident?
Xiao Linghui was a little irritable in his thoughts, he got up and walked out.
When she returned to the main courtyard, Lan Hai had already served Xiao Lingwei to drink the medicine, and Xiao Lingwei was still in a coma, she was not steady in her sleep, her brows were furrowed, her lips were squirming, and she seemed to be saying something.
Xiao Linghui leaned over, only to hear Xiao Ling faintly shouting: Help"
Xiao Linghui immediately rushed to the outside room and complained to Yang Huijun: "I know that my mother is for the good of my little sister, but you shouldn't be so anxious.
"You go and listen, my little sister is in a coma and still shouting 'help'.
In this way, the little sister not only did not learn to swim, but brought her greater fear.
"Look at it again, she is now scared sick, and she is suffering from the wind and cold, and she is unconscious, are you satisfied now?"
Yang Huijun's face darkened.
Mama Gu couldn't stand it anymore, and said for Yang Huijun: "The sixteenth young master can't say that about Madame, Madame is also thinking about Miss's future."
"You don't know, that day in the palace, Madame saw Madame being fished out of the water, her face was pale and trembling, and Madame thought that Madame was about to leave her.
"You know what that feels like?"
Xiao Linghui did not speak.
Mama Gu took a deep breath and continued: "You are still young and don't know how to feel, but the old slave has felt this way.
"My youngest son drowned, and when I saw his pale little face and touched his cold body, my heart seemed to follow him.
"You don't understand that when a mother is faced with the death of her child or the serious injury of her child, the feeling of fear and helplessness is a feeling of hating to be able to replace her.
"Miss is out of the limelight on Hallomy, how many people are jealous of Miss, and how many people will stumble on Miss in the future.
"Miss can't swim, after passing through the palace, I believe that everyone in the capital knows that this is Miss's weakness exposed in front of people, and others are likely to use it to deal with Miss.
"Therefore, for the sake of Miss's safety in the future, Mrs. has to be ruthless and force Miss to overcome her fear as soon as possible, eliminate this weakness, and make it impossible for others to take advantage of the loophole."
Xiao Linghui was moved, hesitated, and said, "I also agree with my mother's idea to let my little sister learn to swim as soon as possible."
"However, I don't agree with my mother's approach, your method is too radical and will backfire."
After a pause: "No, it's already counterproductive, you look at the little sister now, obviously frightened, which will make her more afraid of water." ”
Yang Huijun clenched her fists, with deep self-reproach in her eyes.
"My little sister is still young and her mind is not yet mature, how can she bear it with such a rough and radical method? We should help her overcome her difficulties in a gentle, step-by-step approach, not as she is now"
"That's enough, shut up." Yang Huijun roared.
Xiao Linghui immediately closed his mouth.
He thought that his mother would scold him, or beat him in anger, but if so, he would still insist on his idea.
Every time he approached the room, he would be blocked by Mama Gu, and Mama Gu said to him: "Madam has instructed, the sixteenth young master can do whatever he wants, don't mess around here." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Linghui was so angry that he rose slowly.
What is a blind mix? He didn't know what was going on, and when he asked whom, everyone looked like they were in a hurry, and they didn't reveal a word.
It's really evil, he, a serious young master, is like air, and even his subordinates dare to ignore him blatantly.
Xiao Linghui couldn't help but walk around the courtyard to digest his anger.
Finally, he saw Lan Hai come to the courtyard with the stove and hurriedly walked over.
"Lanhai"
