Chapter 35: The Heart Dies
After Dr. Du's words fell, the atmosphere in the room immediately became tense.
Just when everyone didn't know how to speak, Xu Yanzhu suddenly hooked her lips and smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'm fine." ”
Xu Yanzhu wanted to make it seem like she didn't care about it, but she didn't know that she made the others watching her even more distressed.
Dong Shu first glanced at Xu Shiqiu, who was standing beside him, and saw that Xianggong had no intention of stopping himself from speaking, so he quickly turned his head to look at Xu Yanzhu and said, "Yanzhu, how can this be okay, this has affected your lifespan!" You're only eighteen years old this year, how can you be okay! ”
Although Dong Shu's temperament is silly, she really likes Xu Yanzhu.
For the people she likes, Dong Shu will care extra and insist on it.
Hearing the words of the third aunt, Xu Yanzhu just wanted to hook her lips and smile at her and say a few words of comfort, but Dr. Du stopped her from continuing to speak.
"Don't talk yet, take a good rest, I'll go to dispense medicine, you take the medicine for two days first, and see the effect."
Dr. Du is indeed good at recuperating people's bodies, but Xu Yanzhu is not so simple as needing to recuperate now.
Mrs. Xu and Xu Shiqiu both understood the hidden meaning of Dr. Du's words, Xu Shiqiu looked up at his mother, and saw the chill in his mother's eyes, so he hurriedly grabbed Dong Shu and said goodbye to her.
"Mother, Dong and I will accompany Dr. Du to leave first, Yanzhu doesn't have many people serving here, I'll let Cuihua take care of her later."
Xu Shiqiu watched Mrs. Xu just finish saying this, and Mrs. Xu understood what this son meant.
This will make Mrs. Xu reluctant to leave Xu Yanzhu, she wants to know what Dr. Du is hiding, so she can only let Xu Shiqiu leave with Dong Shu, and he will ask.
As for what he said, there were not many people around Yanzhu, and Mrs. Xu also knew that it was just an excuse.
There are not many people around Yanzhu to serve, but she has a few loyal servants here.
However, this will make Mrs. Xu naturally not break this matter, but nodded along with Xu Shiqiu, and then looked at Doctor Du and said, "Then trouble you." ”
Dr. Du is also an old man, so how can he not understand the meaning of Mrs. Xu.
When he followed Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu out of the main courtyard, he took the initiative to speak: "Yanzhu's disease, if you spend a year or two on recuperation, you can slowly recuperate."
But what is difficult to do is that her heart is dead. She doesn't want to live herself, and no matter how good my medical skills are, there is no way to cure her. ”
After saying this, Doctor Du sighed distressedly and then looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued: "Your husband and wife have a good relationship with Yanzhu, and you have persuaded her in the past two days." As long as she can think of it herself, this disease will be cured. ”
After Dr. Du finished saying this, he went back to the courtyard where he lived to dispense medicine.
Watching Dr. Du leave, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly looked at Cuihua on the side, explained her carefully, and asked her to bring a message to Mrs. Xu later, and then let her chase Dr. Du.
Cuihua will follow Dr. Du to him, and will take the medicine back to the main hospital to pass the word, I am afraid that there will be no way to go back to Shihuan Hospital tonight.
After Dr. Du and Cuihua left, Dong Shu looked up at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Xianggong, Yanzhu will be fine, right?" ”
Hearing the little lady's question, Xu Shiqiu really didn't dare to make a guarantee to Dong Shu.
The little lady didn't know what Yanzhu had experienced over the years, but he knew.
Dong Shu didn't wait for Xu Shiqiu's answer, she kept staring at his eyes, as if she wouldn't give up without waiting for his assurance today.
Xu Shiqiu really didn't expect the little lady to insist on this matter so much, he was not going to tell the little lady about this matter.
But this will be stared at by her, and he is reluctant to let her keep her head up like this, and finally can only sigh.
Holding Dong Shu's hand, on the way back to Shihuan Courtyard, Xu Shiqiu finally opened his mouth and said this thing that he didn't plan to say.
"Yanzhu is the eldest girl of our Xu family, after she was born, her second sister-in-law didn't like her as a daughter, so she scolded her every day and didn't let the nurse feed her.
Later, my father found out about this, so he took Yanzhu to the main courtyard to raise her.
Because Yanzhu has always lived with her father, she often followed her father out when she was young.
I still remember that when Yanzhu was three years old, she followed her father out and met the emperor and Duanwang, who also took their eldest grandson out of the palace.
The relationship between King Duan and his father was good, so he joked that he wanted to set Yanzhu as his granddaughter-in-law, but his father disliked that his grandson was younger than Yanzhu and was unwilling, but he didn't expect the emperor to answer that the grandson was older than Yanzhu.
Originally, my father only thought it was a joke, but the next day the crown princess sent someone to pick up Yanzhu and go to the East Palace to play with the grandson.
This play was played from Yanzhu's three years old to her seven years old.
Yanzhu was seven years old, and she shouldn't have continued to meet her grandson, but the eleven-year-old grandson came out of the palace every day to see Yanzhu at the Xu family.
Because of this, the emperor hinted to his father that when Yanzhu reached the age of twelve, he would give Yanzhu to his grandson in marriage.
With the emperor's hints, Daddy no longer cares about Yanzhu, and Yanzhu can often go to the East Palace.
But nine years ago, the crown prince was impeached, and the evidence was sufficient, and the emperor had no way to prove the prince's innocence, so he could only order the prince to be locked up in the East Palace.
And, let the father take someone to guard the East Palace until the evidence proves that the prince is not guilty.
But no one expected that the day after the prince was imprisoned in the East Palace, a fire broke out in the East Palace.
That day, Yanzhu happened to be taken by his father to the East Palace to comfort his grandson, and after he suddenly caught fire, Yanzhu was sent out of the house by his grandson with all his might, but he himself was hit by the falling door frame and never came out.
Yanzhu saw this scene with her own eyes, and watched her grandson who said that she was going to marry her and was buried in the fire.
Daddy knew that something was wrong with this fire, and he wanted to find out about it after he ordered Yanzhu to be sent back, but at that time, because the prince, the princess, the grandson and the prince's other heirs were all killed in that fire, the emperor and the queen were furious and didn't listen to Daddy's explanation at all.
And the next day, there was evidence that Daddy was the murderer who set the fire.
I was still in Shihuan Yuan in the capital of the Xu family, and I didn't know why my father suddenly confessed, and then our Xu family was sneaked out of the capital by a holy decree from the emperor, and we were not allowed to enter Beijing for ten years.
Since Yu Zhu came back from the East Palace that day, he was sick for three months, and because of that incident, Yan Zhu's reputation was damaged, and for so many years, no one dared to propose marriage to the Xu family. ”
Dong Shu didn't expect the Xu family to have such a past.
It was only then that she would know why Yanzhu had such a look in her eyes before.
At this time, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu also happened to return to Shihuan Courtyard, and by the moonlight, Dong Shu looked at the pomegranate tree in the courtyard that grew many leaves, and asked, "Does Yanzhu have to marry into the Jiang family now?" ”
Dong Shu didn't care about the status of the Xu family, after all, she hadn't experienced what happened nine years ago, and it was too far away from her.
But now Xu Yanzhu's family matter is a matter that needs to be solved quickly.
Xu Shiqiu just wanted to take Dong Shu's hand and continue to walk into the house, but after hearing this, his steps paused, stopped his movements, looked down at the little lady beside him with a concerned face, and said, "Lady, only Niang may be able to stop this." ”
Xu Shiqiu knew that the little lady and the eldest niece had a good relationship, but they were not the eldest niece's father and mother after all.
The second brother and sister-in-law are Yanzhu's fathers and mothers, although they are really not qualified fathers and mothers, but Yanzhu's relatives and marriage books are all in their hands.
Now, I only hope that his mother can say the moving words, and then use the connections of the Xu family to make the Jiang family take the initiative to give up.
However, because of today's events, Xu Shiqiu once again felt the embarrassing situation of having no power and no one in his hands.
If he has military power in his hands at this time, he can forcibly pass on the words and beads; If he has someone who can be used, he can completely send Yanzhu away and send him to a place where no one knows about the Xu family.
Of course, if his father was still alive, he thought that his second brother and second sister-in-law would definitely not dare to do this.
Can ...... now
Dong Shu didn't know what was involved in this matter, after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, she nodded and didn't speak, but she was thinking about going to see her mother-in-law early tomorrow morning, hoping that her mother-in-law could solve the matter.
But Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu didn't expect that when they met Mrs. Xu the next day, Mrs. Xu was moved by Xu Yanzhu and agreed to her marrying into the Jiang family.
"Mother? You ......"
Xu Shiqiu looked at his mother, his eyes were full of disbelief, he didn't expect that his mother would agree to this.
Mrs. Xu knew what he was thinking as soon as she saw Xu Shiqiu's eyes, looked at her most intimate son now, and sighed, and then Mrs. Xu continued to speak: "Shiqiu, it's not that my mother doesn't contribute to this matter, but Yanzhu told me last night that if I don't agree, she won't take medicine." also said that she should have died nine years ago anyway, and for so many years, she has lived more. ”
How could Mrs. Xu not hurt Xu Yanzhu, who was raised by herself, but she didn't expect Xu Yanzhu to use such a thing to blackmail her.
Compared to seeing this granddaughter die, she naturally had no choice but to agree to her marrying into the Jiang family.
It was also last night that Mrs. Xu discovered that Xu Yanzhu's temperament is really like her husband, who has been dead for nine years, and she is so stubborn and stubborn.
Xu Shiqiu didn't expect things to turn out like this, if he didn't have a beloved lady before, he might not understand Xu Yanzhu's thoughts, but he can understand.
Although he rarely saw Xu Yanzhu getting along with his grandson before, no one in the capital knew that the grandson liked the eldest girl of their Xu family, and he could do anything for the eldest girl of the Xu family.
If it weren't for the fact that Yanzhu was still young nine years ago, I am afraid that she would have married her grandson a long time ago.
At the beginning, he thought that nine- and thirteen-year-old children could understand something, but now it seems that in Yanzhu's heart, I am afraid that he still can't forget the young man who first appeared in the capital at the age of eleven or twelve.
Dong Shu is not Xu Shiqiu, so after hearing Mrs. Xu's words, she got up and wanted to see Xu Yanzhu and persuade her.
Dong Shu didn't believe it, there was no way to do it.
