Chapter 176: Stealing chickens failed, Shen Lu came back
Although the mother-in-law is very strange, but in terms of physical fitness, where is the opponent of Aunt Meng, who was born as a village woman, the person slapped her with a powerful slap, and she fell to the ground with gold stars in her eyes.
The mother-in-law is also quite old, and Aunt Meng still started like this, which shows how much this incident angered her, and Ji was also shocked, swallowed slightly, got up and retreated.
This Meng Yun is too impulsive, and it will not be good if he rushes over and even fights himself.
"I said Meng Yun!"
Ji Shi pulled Lu Er beside him, frowned and scolded: "What are you doing!" In the Wuyuan, do it under the nose of the old lady! You're so unruly! Do you regard the Cheng family's family law as nothing! ”
She shouted like this, but she hid next to Lu Er, she really didn't have any momentum, Aunt Meng glanced at her coldly, and then said: "Then you Ji Taiping is in the Wuwu Courtyard, turning out these Chen sesame rotten grains to humiliate the eldest lady, do you put the old lady in your eyes, do you put the rules and family laws of the Cheng family in your eyes?" ”
As soon as Ji Shi heard this, he pushed Lu Er forward, glared at him and said viciously: "I said Meng Yun, how did you bite Lu Dongbin, I don't know anything about it, I'm here to avenge you!" Fight for you! ”
"How can you Ji Taiping have such a good heart."
Aunt Meng retorted to her ruthlessly, and also tore apart the fairness and hypocrisy that this person had easily shaped tonight: "You just want to use this matter to make our Changfang have infighting, so as to kill each other, you can watch the excitement from the sidelines, and sit on the side to reap the benefits of the fisherman, right?" ”
As soon as she said this, the attention of everyone in the hall shifted from Aunt Meng and Gu's to Ji's, and the man's expression was flustered and angry: "...... A slut who doesn't know what to do. ”
And after she finished speaking, she saw Aunt Meng slowly walking towards Gu's, everyone was held by this move, and Cheng Qi stretched out her arms slightly in front of Gu's, for fear that Aunt Meng would be angry and hurt Gu's powerless.
Who knows, after Aunt Meng walked in front of Gu's face, she didn't make any outrageous moves, but under the attention of all the staff, she knelt down with a puff and said earnestly: "Madame's forgiveness." ”
Cheng Qi was startled, and Ji's eyes widened even more, and he took a few steps forward, not knowing why.
Gu Shi was kneeling like this by Aunt Meng, tears fell from her eyes, and she choked up while holding her handkerchief: "It was all your impulse back then, and now you ...... And let people turn it out and say, but poke your heart again. ”
Aunt Meng also had red circles in her eyes unconsciously: "Madam, it's all my fault, I insisted on going my own way back then, so that Mrs. has now suffered this great grievance, and she will be humiliated by this Manchurian people." After that, he slapped himself again, "It's all my Meng Yun's fault!" ”
"Ah Yun!"
Seeing the blood rushing from the corners of Meng Yun's mouth, Gu almost fainted, and wanted to get up to help her, but he heard a tired and solemn voice on his left hand, and the man said, "What's the matter?" ”
Everyone turned around, it turned out to be Mrs. Cheng who got up late at night, and everyone tacitly knew that Mrs. Cheng had heard everything just now, but she never ignored it, and only asked these juniors to solve it by themselves, but sure enough, when it came to the selfish matter of her children and grandchildren, she couldn't sit still and wanted to come out to ask for the truth.
"Say hello to Grandmother."
"Say hello to the old lady."
The people in the hall got up and saluted, Mrs. Cheng frowned in annoyance, told them to excuse themselves, and then sat on the upper seat, covered her legs with the blanket brought by Zhou's mother, took a deep breath and said: "You are so noisy and noisy in the middle of the night, making the house restless, are you not afraid of being laughed at?" ”
These words were clearly accusing the Ji family, the man gritted his teeth, glanced at Aunt Meng, who also had hatred in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said to Mrs. Cheng: "But mother, the wronged person can't be justified and avengeated, but the perpetrator can get away with it, and the atmosphere of the mansion has been distorted by the sister-in-law, in this way, won't it be laughed at by the world?" ”
Mrs. Cheng squinted at her, and then Mother Zhou opened her mouth and said, "Third Madam, pay attention to proportion." ”
Ji's teeth gritted and gurgled: "Mother, this matter must be explained clearly." ”
She refused to give up, and this was also what Mrs. Cheng wanted to know, so she said, "Meng Yun." ”
When Aunt Meng heard this, she hurriedly went over to the cold ground in the hall and knelt down: "Old lady." ”
Old Madam Cheng fumbled with the patterns on the blanket and asked, "What's going on with all this, was the daughter you had a miscarriage ten years ago instructed that mother-in-law to do it?" Glancing at the Gu family, "If this is the case, as a lady from a big family and a woman from a Wangmen sect, such a narrow mind is not worthy of joining the Cheng family." ”
"Old lady Mingjian!"
As soon as she heard that Old Madam Cheng was going to blame the Gu family, Aunt Meng hurriedly explained: "Old Madam, the truth of the matter is not like this. Biting his lip helplessly, "I was going to hide this matter for the rest of my life, but if I don't say it now, I will be wronged by Mrs., so after I said it, the old lady will blame me." ”
"Say it." Mrs. Cheng said.
Aunt Meng sighed helplessly, and told the secret of ten years ago: "My background is too low, my family can't afford to support me, and they want to sell me into slavery and change from a good citizen to a lowly status, it was my wife who met me and helped me for many years, and then I personally became a matchmaker and made me the uncle's concubine." ”
"I originally didn't obey it, Madame treated me so well, if I became the uncle's concubine, I would have become an ungrateful and heartless villain, but Madame said that she was weak and couldn't take care of the uncle, hoping to let me enter the house and serve the uncle for her, but I wanted to serve the lady well, so I agreed, and then I entered the house for a few years, and I have not been in the same room with the uncle."
"Later, the uncle was drunk once and mistakenly entered my room, which was considered to be practical, but I swore that I would never compete with Mrs. for favor, so I must not keep this child, Mrs. asked me to stay, and told me a lot of intimate things, but I was stubborn and insisted on asking my mother-in-law to take down this child."
Aunt Meng sprinkled her words and explained the ins and outs of this matter clearly, and several children in the long room were also relieved, and Cheng Lan even had red eyes, feeling guilty that she was really suspicious.
I know that Aunt Meng and the Gu family are like sisters, and they will not hurt each other.
Cheng Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was impressed by Aunt Meng, who couldn't even recite a few lines of poetry.
It's just that privately cutting off the Cheng family's incense, such a sin can't be erased in a few words.
Cheng Qi looked at Mrs. Cheng, who didn't show any other expressions from beginning to end when Aunt Meng spoke, I don't know if he was thinking about how to deal with Aunt Meng.
"Meng Yun."
In such a tense and depressing atmosphere, Mrs. Cheng suddenly spoke: "You are so bold. ”
Aunt Meng gritted her teeth and kowtowed deeply: "The old lady is angry. "I made up my mind, "If you are angry, you can punish me, but don't blame Madame, Madame wanted me to keep that child, but before entering the house, I made a poisonous oath that I would repay Madame's kindness with my life, and I would never trespass it, so even if I choose it again now, I will still beat that child!" ”
When Cheng Qi heard this, he admired this reckless woman even more, there are a few people in the world who can do what they say, and the woman in front of her, who doesn't know a few big words, not only did it, but even gave up her own flesh and blood in order to abide by this oath.
"Auntie." She couldn't help but feel distressed.
And the Ji family on the other side was completely frozen, she didn't expect that there would be a biological mother like Aunt Meng, who would kill her own child for others, this ...... It's chilling.
Now, not only is stealing chickens and rice, but everyone in the mansion knows that Aunt Meng is not only a rough woman who can only scold the street, but also a loyal and sincere person.
I'm trapped in it again.
Ji Shi sat down on the chair, her sharp nails deducting a mark on the chair handle, she gasped extremely violently, but refused to give up the last chance for revenge.
"Mother." Ji Shi turned his head to Mrs. Cheng and said viciously, "Anyway, it is a sin to knock out the incense of our Cheng family without permission, you have to give the dead eldest brother an explanation!" ”
When Gu Shi heard this, he quickly knelt down next to Aunt Meng, and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "Mother, mother, don't blame Ah Yun for making her own opinions, she is also doing this to take into account my feelings, if you are punished, let me do it for her, it was I who failed to tolerate it well, so she decided to have a miscarriage!" ”
Aunt Meng's tears that had been choking for a long time fell to the ground, she supported Gu and said with relief: "Madam, you have done a lot for me, and now, I will not let you be wronged again." Raising his head, he looked at Mrs. Cheng fearlessly, and asked for punishment, "I killed the child, so you can punish me." ”
"Meng Yun."
The Gu family was about to stop it, but as soon as Mrs. Cheng spoke, no one dared to speak, but when she saw that the person got up from Zhou's mother and walked into the bedroom, she said coldly: "Go and get thirty boards, and the rest will be scattered." ”
Such a big thing, but ended up with such a painless punishment, Ji Shi was naturally unwilling, and stood up abruptly and shouted: "Mother, did you spare Meng Yun like this!" ”
"Third lady." Mother Zhou glanced over and reminded, "The old lady is going to sleep." ”
Mother Zhou is the old lady's confidant, and what she said basically represents the person's attitude, and now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old lady did not pursue Aunt Meng, and the thirty boards just went through a process.
Ji Shi frowned, the look in her eyes seemed to be a little dog jumping off the wall, she was about to cry in anger, sitting on the chair, she didn't care if the old lady would hear it, picked up a tea bowl and fell to the ground!
"Slut!"
Ji said loudly.
Cheng Ming was worried, and hurriedly whispered to dissuade him: "Mother...... You're quiet. ”
Ji Shi looked at the cold floor tiles in front of him, trembling like a sieve, and sweating like rain.
But she was so angry, no one in the long room would take a second look, and she didn't deserve anyone's sympathy or pity, Cheng Qi thought, it was another thrilling night.
After the old lady left, the Gu family was waited by Zhang's sister-in-law and returned to the Wuyuan Courtyard, and the three teenagers also went back to Xijing Pavilion together, Aunt Meng's side, under the threat of Cheng Qi, the board was naturally postponed to later.
Among the group, only Ji was still sitting there, and after Cheng Ming persuaded him twice, he would get up, but he had just gone out of the gate of the courtyard and met Cheng Yunduo.
The Ji family made this matter known to everyone, and Cheng Yunduo naturally heard about it, if it weren't for Cheng Ming here, Cheng Yunduo would have stabbed the Ji family, so as to vent the anger that the person brought to himself.
"Daddy."
Cheng Yunduo looks like he doesn't smile on weekdays, Cheng Ming is used to it, but it is still a little rare to endure anger like tonight, so he felt uneasy: "Let's go back." ”
Cheng Yunduo didn't say a word so far, only snorted coldly, and threw his sleeves forward.
didn't get scolded, Ji was still a little surprised, but he knew that there would be a storm after he went back, so he muttered a few more words through gritted teeth, and then followed.
…
…
"Aunt Meng tonight, I am really impressed."
On the way back to Xijing Pavilion for the three brothers, Cheng Lan said from the bottom of her heart: "As the head of the long house, she has done a good job, it seems that people's character has nothing to do with reading and literacy." ”
Cheng Yan echoed: "Yes, my aunt is sincere. ”
After entering the hospital, he and Cheng Dai went to the left, while Cheng Lan went back to the main room on the right alone, Honeysuckle should have slept in the ear room, and he didn't want to toss the person to get up and serve, so he pushed the door and went in.
It's just that as soon as the door was pushed open, there was a slightly damp smell of blood in front of him, Cheng Lan was stunned, and wanted to call the two brothers, but in the dark, he felt that something was wrong, took a deep breath, and rarely strengthened his courage, picked up the ring ruler on the Linmen bookcase, and cautiously walked in the direction where the smell of blood came.
It's not your own bedroom, it's your own study.
Cheng Lan gritted her teeth, tiptoed over, and when she arrived at the door of the study, she found that the door was hidden, and the smell of blood was extremely strong, and if you listened carefully, there were some painful moans inside.
Cheng Lan closed her eyes and opened them again, made up her mind, slammed the door open with her elbow, and at the same time raised the ring ruler in her hand high, and tried her best to hit it!
“…… It's me. ”
A smiling but very weak voice sounded, and this voice, Cheng Lan was very familiar, he forcibly stopped his movements, and looked at it, it turned out to be Shen Lu.
Yes, Shen Lu covered in blood.
The man was dressed in a brown winter robe, which was now stained with blood, and the bright red color flowed down the hem of the garment on the floor tiles, her hair was messy, and her face was pale, but the eyes were brighter than the stars of the night, but they were closed from time to time because of the pain, and her hand was on her lower abdomen to prevent the blood from gushing out.
Cheng Lan glared, threw the ring ruler away, and walked over to her, it was this time, and he didn't care about questioning the person who said goodbye at that time, his expression was full of nervousness and concern: "What's the matter?" ”
"I'm sorry."
Shen Lu's lips trembled, and he struggled to force what he wanted to say out between his teeth: "I...... It's really ...... Nowhere else to go...... Just...... Come and excuse me...... Disturb you. Swallowing, she tilted her head back in despair, "If you ...... If you're scared...... I...... Immediately...... Just go. ”
After that, she gritted her teeth and supported herself, but was stopped by Cheng Lan: "Don't move." ”
Shen Lu fled all the way from Liangcheng Gate Card to this Guogong Mansion, and with such an injury, where did he still have the strength, so he had to lean against the bookshelf in resignation, and watched Cheng Lan run to the outer hall to find something.
After a while, the man hurried back again, taking a bandage and medicine to stop the bleeding.
"I ...... I'll do it myself. Shen Lu laboriously behind him.
"It's all said you don't move."
At this moment, Cheng Lan's face was no longer panicked, but more reassuring and steady, seeing more of this person's helplessness and tiredness and weakness, Shen Lu's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart, You can still be forced out of this side.
Cheng Lan didn't say a word, and untied the winter robe on Shen Lu's body, the thin robe inside this girl had already been soaked in blood, he carefully untied it, and his eyes were shocked!
Shen Lu's white and flat lower abdomen actually had a two-inch-long wound, which looked like it had been scratched by a sword, and as long as a little pressure was applied, it would continue to bleed out.
I don't care about the difference between men and women, Cheng Lan didn't have time to wipe the blood, so she only poured the medicine to stop the bleeding into the palm of her hand, said You can bear it, and then covered the wound without hesitation.
"Ah...... Not! ”
The pain penetrated into the lower abdomen like an arrow, Shen Lu subconsciously bowed down and hugged Cheng Lan, in order to prevent herself from shouting, she bit her lip tightly, and her arms also tightened the man's neck.
Cheng Lan put one hand around her waist and covered her wound with the other, and said calmly: "This medicine works extremely quickly, your wound should not bleed soon." He tried it with his hand, pushed Shen Lu away slightly, looked at the end of the medicine and sealed the wound, and then took out the bandage and wrapped it around Shen Lu's body seriously.
"What's going on?"
Cheng Lan had time to ask the reason.
Shen Lu didn't dare to move at all, and the rotten meat was generally spread in front of the bookshelf, and said in a low voice: "I know that I have caused trouble for your Guogong Mansion, so I told Feng Yi about the matter and left." With a wry smile, "It's just that I didn't expect that I would be recognized by her and call Shen Dutou to the door, which made you lose a lot of face." ”
Cheng Lan didn't speak, it was much more difficult for Cheng Dai to be cold.
"I thought." Shen Lu continued, "After leaving Xiping, I went to Wushan to find the master, in order to save my life, I may never come back, but I didn't expect that Liang Chengtai kept the death order, and the checkpoints of the four city gates have all increased a large number of troops, I am already a caged bird, and I can't fly out again." ”
Cheng Lan listened, no matter how much she didn't want to care, she still asked: "Then where have you been these days?" Why don't you come back and make things clear to me? ”
"Where do I have the face to come back?" Shen Lu showed a pale and helpless smile, "I had to live incognito in this Liang City, but every day I was like a frightened bird, I was found by the soldiers of Nafu tonight, but I was stabbed after a fierce battle, I really have nowhere to go, I know that they dare not come to the Guogong Mansion, so I ran here to hide, you ...... Don't blame me. ”
Cheng Lan didn't speak after listening, it was a silence that made Shen Lu suspenseful, she watched Cheng Lan stand up, walked out without looking back, and lowered her head weakly, as if the wound didn't hurt anymore, but her heart hurt a little.
After being displaced for a long time like this, and being injured again, the person he cherishes the most still has this attitude, Shen Lu's always strong tear ducts couldn't help it, and finally shed crystal tears.
But who can be blamed for this, and if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for not taking Feng Yi's handkerchief at that time, but then again, he is a thief who steals chickens and dogs, in this mansion, even if he has the blessing of Cheng Lan, how long can he hide, not to mention, the one named Cheng Qi hates himself first.
One day when you step into the door of thieves, you will be a person in the door for the rest of your life.
Master is right, she is like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats her.
"What are you crying about?"
Cheng Lan didn't know when he came back, he took a basin of warm water and two clean clothes, squatted down, dipped the water with a towel to help Shen Lu wipe the blood on his body, and then covered her with clothes, and said lightly: "I'll help you go to the bedroom to rest." ”
"Not necessarily."
Shen Lu refused without thinking about it: "I don't want to move, the wound is too painful." ”
Cheng Lan didn't insist, and said, "Keep it in the house." ”
Shen Lu was stunned when he heard this, and looked up in disbelief, after going through so much, he didn't expect Cheng Lan to be willing to stay in the mansion?
But Cheng Lan was willing, but he didn't have this face, so Shen Lu shook his head.
"No, you don't." She said in a low voice, "I am already very grateful that you are willing to take me in tonight, you can rest assured, I will leave the Guogong Mansion when it is almost dawn, and I will definitely not cause you trouble." ”
Cheng Lan frowned slightly, thought about it, and said, "Then I will find a way to send you Xiping and let you go to Wushan to find your master, you see how it is." ”
Shen Lu undoubtedly refused again: "You don't have to do this anymore, I can't get out, now the four checkpoints of the city gate are full of officers and soldiers, and the people are checked very strictly, as long as I show up, I will be killed, not to mention ...... I don't want to involve your Cheng family anymore. ”
Cheng Lan didn't speak again, got up and went back to the bedroom, and never came to see her again.
And Shen Lu leaned in front of the bookshelf, looking at the window that penetrated the moonlight, and didn't say a word, I don't know what I was thinking, the two people who were so close in the past became like this, and they were all done by themselves.
I want to continue to stay here and stay by Cheng Lan's side.
But it can't be helped.
She's a thief.
She, Shen Lu, is a thief.
…
…
Early the next morning, Cheng Lan woke up from his sleep, because he was tossed by a lot of things last night, he slept a little late, so he got up late today, he sat up, as if he remembered something, put on his shoes and went to the study.
Sure enough, Shen Lu is a man who does what he says, the girl who hid in the study last night is gone, and the bloodstains she rubbed out have also disappeared, only her own clothes, neatly folded and placed next to her.
Cheng Lan looked as if the man had never returned.
The heart is empty, as if it has been plundered.
"Young Master?"
Honeysuckle, who came to wait for Cheng Lan to get up, came over, saw him in a daze, and wondered, "What are you looking at?" ”
Cheng Lan shook her head lonely: "It's nothing." ”
"Young Master Qiubai—"
A little guy stumbled in, Cheng Lan looked up, and found that it was Xin Yi beside Cheng Yan, and immediately asked in suspense: "What happened to you in such a hurry?!" ”
Xin Yi panted and said: "It's Xiangfang, there are many people who come to make trouble, saying that they used Xiangfang's spices and have a rash on their bodies!" I want our young master to give an explanation! ”
