Chapter 216: The End
Chapter 216: The End
Mrs. Tai heard the report from her subordinates that Jiang Ruonan had returned.
She breathed a sigh of relief,
When she went to Qiutang Courtyard this morning, she saw her son's tear stains on his face, coupled with what Jiang Ruonan said before, which made her worry all day.
Actually, she is not dissatisfied with Jiang Ruonan, although she likes Qing Dai very much, but in her heart, Qing Dai cannot be compared with Jiang Ruonan, after all, the identity is there, no matter how good Qing Dai is, she is only a concubine, and Jiang Ruonan is her daughter-in-law'
She just doesn't like Jiang Ruonan to control the Hou Ye too much, and the son who has always been majestic and obedient to her is incredible, if a man only knows how to listen to the words of the 'female', then what is the point of the general she has worked so hard to cultivate, how can she watch Jiang Ruonan turn him into a wife slave who obeys the words of the 'female'
If Jiang Ruonan didn't treat her son to death like this, she might have asked her son to take care of the main room more, and she would be very happy to see her son and daughter-in-law Qin Se and Ming if she gave birth to her eldest son as soon as possible.
But Jiang Ruonan is very good except for this, his status is prominent, his status is noble, his family is well organized, he is also very filial to her, respects her, and does not want to lose this daughter-in-law. In the morning, she was a little frightened by Jiang Ruonan's words, but now she was relieved when she heard that she was back.
She turned back to Zhang's mother and smiled and said: "So, you can't be too pampered and indulgent to your daughter-in-law, blindly conniving, she really thinks she is amazing, and occasionally give her a little 'color' to take a look, let her know that our Jin family will not be afraid of her because she has the support of the Queen Mother behind her, let her know that she is measured, isn't this ......" Mrs. Tai was very proud, "She didn't come back obediently?" ”
Mother Zhang flattered her when she saw that she was happy: "Or Mrs. Tai can see it thoroughly, up and down the house, who is not obedient to Mrs. Tai and sincerely convinced?" ”
This made Mrs. Tai very happy, and then said: "I shouldn't have let Master Hou go to the farm to pick her up every day, so after she was used to being like this, I also remember, I can't give her a good face and have different means for different people, some people just can't be too good to her."
Zhang's mother smiled: "What Mrs. Tai said is"
As soon as her mood relaxed, Mrs. Tai remembered that she had not eaten breakfast in the morning because she had no appetite, "You go and bring the bird's nest porridge in the morning, I am hungry"
Mother Zhang asked someone to serve bird's nest porridge, and looked at Mrs. Tai's happy eating, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart, since Mrs. is back, why didn't she come to Rosin Courtyard to say goodbye?
On the other side, Jin Shaokang has been desperate and sad since Jiang Ruonan left, but he still holds on to the last glimmer of hope.
He didn't believe that he would do this kind of thing, he went to tell Qing Dai about sending her to another village, just said a few words, Qing Dai began to cry, he was indeed a little sorry at that time, but he did not relent, and then things were very vague, and what was even more strange was that he had no impression of how he started drinking with her, how he would lie on Qing Dai's 'bed'
It's all so weird
All the doubts fell on Qing Dai. If he is 'yin', his technique must be very clever, because the ordinary 'fan' incense and ** will not work for him, nor can he hide it.
He went to Qing Dai's room and interrogated all the maids in Yingxiang Courtyard, and the answer was the same, he saw that he was drunk, and Qing Dai had not yet sung a song for him. Jin Shaokang's face was red and white, some of these maids were sent by Jiang Ruonan, and some were sent by Mrs. Tai, all of them were born in the house, and it was impossible for them to be bought by Qing Dai at the same time. Then what they say is the truth
He still didn't give up, and took away the wine he had drunk last night, as well as the incense burner in the house, and many other things that he looked suspicious. When he left yesterday, he had already instructed Ning An to watch the Yingxiang Courtyard and not allow anyone to touch anything inside.
He took these things to a well-informed friend to look at. This person's name is Shen Qing, and he has some research in medicine and poison, and he is well-known in the rivers and lakes. It should help him
Jin Shaokang told him some of his suspicious symptoms last night and asked him to help investigate.
Shen Qing carefully examined what he had brought
"Master Hou, the wine is 'female' red, the wine is fragrant and sweet, I didn't find anything else in it. The incense burner is also very ordinary Hualan incense, as for other things, I have only learned lightly, and I haven't found anything unusual."
Jin Shaokang was a little anxious, "Shen Qing, take a closer look, don't you think my symptoms last night were very suspicious?" ”
Shen Qing looked at his face carefully, stretched out his hand to help him take his pulse, and then asked out loud: "Dare to ask Master Hou, was he not sleepy before?" ”
Jin Shaokang was stunned, "Yes, I didn't sleep for ten days before."
Shen Qing sighed: "Master Hou, you haven't rested for ten days and ten nights, you have worked hard physically and mentally, plus you have drunk so much wine, the 'girl' has a lot of stamina, so even if Master Hou feels confused and can't recall what happened last night, it is normal Master Hou, I see that your face is very bad, and your pulse is disordered, I advise you to go back and have a good rest and relax, otherwise I am afraid that it will hurt your vitality."
Shen Qing's words made Jin Shaokang's heart sink to the bottom, could it be that he really accompanied Qing Dai to drink because he was soft-hearted, and then did such a thing after drinking?
Is he really such a despicable villain?
Jin Shaokang's whole body was like an ice cellar, cold and cold, and in the end, his hopes were dashed, if even Shen Qing couldn't prove his innocence, what did he have to make Ruolan believe in himself, what did he use to prove himself?
Now he understands that the greatest despair is not that others can't believe you, but that you can't even believe yourself......
His heart ached sharply, his mind was at a loss, and he felt a kind of sluggishness that he didn't know where he was
Shen Qing saw that his face suddenly turned red, and his whole body trembled violently uncontrollably, and in shock, he hurriedly took out a silver needle and stabbed several major 'acupoints' on his body. After a while, Jin Shaokang fainted.
Half an hour later, Jin Shaokang woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Qing who was giving him a needle.
Shen Qing glanced at him, and his subordinates didn't stop, "Master Hou, you should sleep a little longer." ”
Jin Shaokang shook his head, as if there was a hammer hammer in his head, and he couldn't sleep at all.
"What happened to me?" Jin Shaokang asked
"Hou Ye almost went mad just now, fortunately Shen is by Hou Ye's side, otherwise Hou Ye will not only lose his skills, but I am afraid that he will become a waste"
Jin Shaokang snorted softly, as if all this meant nothing to him at all.
Shen Qing pricked the last needle, stood up, and cleaned up, "Master Hou, although Shen performed the needle for Master Hou in time just now to guide Guiyuan, but Master Hou's vitality has been injured, you must recuperate well during this time, don't overwork, don't drink anymore, and don't 'agitate' anymore, otherwise I'm afraid of endless troubles."
Jin Shaokang got up silently, turned his head to Shen Qing, thanked him and said goodbye.
As soon as he returned to the house, he heard An Ning's announcement, and Jiang Ruonan returned to the house.
Jin Shaokang felt a wave of ecstasy in his heart, and he couldn't care about the eyes of others, so he took three steps and made two steps, eager to run away.
rushed all the way to the house, looking at the closed 'door', he didn't dare to step forward, for fear that everything was just his illusion, for fear of opening the 'door' but not seeing her.
Yingxue stepped forward to open the 'door' for him, "Master Hou, Madame has been waiting for you." ”
Jin Shaokang's heart was beating wildly, and an unnatural 'tide' blush appeared on his face. He took a deep breath and walked inside.
He thought of any possibility before entering the 'door', but he didn't expect that as soon as Jiang Ruonan saw him, he didn't say anything, just put a book of harmony in front of him.
......He looked at the white paper on the round table, the heat in his chest receded in an instant, the blood in his whole body seemed to freeze in an instant, and his face became whiter than the white paper on the table.
Jiang Ruonan looked at him, his face was not much better than him, "I want to end everything as soon as possible." It's good for you and me......" Her mind was full of the scene where he and Qing Dai lay on the 'bed', and every time she saw him, it was a kind of torture for her.
He looked up at her, his eyes dark and deep, like bottomless black 'holes', full of pain.
"Ruolan ......" his voice was faint, but the sadness contained in it had a strong penetrating power, piercing into her heart, "I really like you...... Really ......"
The tears that had been endured for a long time suddenly gushed out, Jiang Ruonan covered his face, his whimpering sound was finely broken, and tears flowed out from between his fingers.
Jin Shaokang's heart ached, he stepped forward and wanted to pour Jiang Ruonan into his arms, but Jiang Ruonan took a few steps back and shook his head gently, "Shaokang, I can't convince myself to give you a chance anymore...... I'll be miserable to stay, and if you're really good for me, sign and leave the book. ”
Jin Shaokang's face turned whiter, and he sat down on the chair next to the round table, lost his soul. After a while, he took the book on the table, and the paper trembled slightly in his hand, making a slight noise.
"We are married by divine decree, and separation is not so simple." He said softly.
Jiang Ruonan said in a low voice: "I was meritorious in treating Princess Changle last time, and the emperor and the queen mother promised not to pursue this matter." ”
"You have already begged the Queen Mother...... It's ...... so fast" is right, once she makes up her mind, she will not look back. Didn't I just like her persistence and freedom at the beginning? It's just that I didn't expect that these would one day become my own bitter fruits......
Jiang Ruonan walked over, dipped the 'hair' pen in ink, and handed it to him.
Jin Shaokang looked at the pen and didn't stretch out his hand, the ink on the pen dripped down, and it was rendered on the book, and it was black, like the despair in his heart.
Jiang Ruonan didn't urge him, but just kept stretching out his hand without a trace of hesitation or retreat.
After a long time, Jin Shaokang stretched out his hand and took the pen in her hand, the 'hairy' pen couldn't stop shaking, he couldn't stabilize it with all his strength, and the ink on the tip of the pen was spilled everywhere.
Jiang Ruonan's tears flowed out again.
Yingxue, who was outside the 'door', had been paying attention to the movement in the house, and when she saw that Jiang Ruonan really wanted to leave, and 'forced' Hou Ye to sign, she panicked, she knew too well what the situation of the 'female' person and after leaving, and she didn't want Jiang Ruonan to ruin her happiness in the future because of her impulsiveness
She called a little maid and told her to ask Mrs. Tai to come over.
Mrs. Tai had lunch and was about to take a nap when she suddenly heard a report from someone next
"Heli" Mrs. Tai jumped up from the kang all of a sudden, because she was so shocked that even her voice changed a little, "You said that Mrs. wants to leave?" ”
The little girl trembled and said, "Yes, now Mrs. is 'forcing' the Hou Ye to sign"
Mrs. Tai was dizzy for a while, her body shook, and Liu Yue hurriedly supported her.
Mrs. Tai pointed to the 'door', angry and anxious, "Quick, help me over, I want to see what 'tricks' she wants to play."
