Chapter 239: Wake up from a dream

、、、、、、、、、、 When he and Jiang Changyang went to bid farewell to the old lady, Mrs. Du was not with the old lady, and I heard that she was sick. The old lady was wilted, knowing that the people that Mrs. Du didn't want to see at this moment were Peony and Jiang Changyang, so she pretended not to think of anything, and suggested with bad intentions: "You go and see her." ”

Jiang Changyang is not a person who likes to watch this kind of boring and lively, and Peony doesn't want to face the snake-like Mrs. Du. That's a waste of expression and time. The two were thinking about how to refuse, but they didn't sleep all night, and Jiang Chong, who had dark circles under his eyes, said tiredly: "It's not early, they still have something to do, and they can't delay." ”

"Didn't you let you think about it behind closed doors for a month? What can be the urgency? According to me, just stay here for a little longer, Danniang served me very comfortably yesterday. The old lady was very unhappy, and at this time, Jiang Zhong was still protecting the stirring spirit. According to her thoughts, even if she can't give Mrs. Du a leave of absence because of the previous situation, she must be ashamed of Mrs. Du's cheeks, and do whatever she wants to make Mrs. Du sad, so that Mrs. Du will never forget it. did this kind of ugly thing regardless of life and death, and harmed the family, not only did not come to apologize, but also hid and pretended to be sick!

Is it very comfortable to serve her by yourself? Is it for the sake of Mrs. Du? Peony hurriedly said: "Grandmother, yesterday's granddaughter-in-law told you that she was going to attend an old man's washing banquet. No, the gift is still at home, and it hasn't been cleaned up, and it has to write a gift list, and it has to find a box, and the daughter-in-law has to change her clothes, so she can't lose the face of the family. ”

Jiang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this He family is quite sensible, and he didn't want to stir it up. But didn't the saint let Jiang Changyang think about it behind closed doors? Is he still going to run around? Jiang Zhong sighed heavily and said in a low voice: "This kind of thing just happened, it's best not to go if you can." ”

If he knew that Peony was going to King Jing's outer chamber, he would probably be scared and restless, and he would definitely try his best to stop it. Jiang Changyang said perfunctory disapprovingly, and retired with a peony salute.

The old lady looked at Jiang Zhong distressedly: "Don't worry, after a few days, when the Holy Lord rests, it will naturally reactivate you." ”

Jiang Zhong didn't dare to tell her the truth, so he had to smile bitterly and said perfunctorily: "Maybe." ”

The old lady measured with him: "I thought about it for most of the night, and I felt that it would not work like this, I am old, and your two concubine rooms are not on the table, and Yunqing has a tender face, which is not suitable for housekeepers." Why don't you let Yi'er get married early? ”

Jiang Chong was silent for a moment, nodded and agreed: "I'll go and talk to her." ”

Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, Bai Xiang ran in with tears on her face full of horror, knelt in front of the two of them with a "snap", trembling her lips and said, "It's terrible, Mrs. Hangliang committed suicide!" ”

Jiang Zhong and the old lady were both frightened, and said at the same time: "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”

Bai Xiang said: "Fortunately, I found it early, poured ginger soup, and woke up." The slave didn't dare to let people know, so she asked Rosin to keep it, and the slave and maid hurried over to report the news. ”

"You're doing a great job." Jiang Zhong couldn't help but look at the girl who had just been punished by himself and her face was still swollen. If this kind of thing spreads, the people in the Guogong Mansion will have no face to go out and walk around, and this girl will behave very decently.

One cry and two hanging, I have already cried and made trouble, this is time to hang. As soon as she heard that the person was fine, the old lady was relieved and began to sneer, this is no trick? said with a straight face: "Okay, what is she hanging?" "If you really want to die, why don't you die in the dead of night, and wait until everyone is there?

Bai Xiang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "It's okay to get up in the morning, but later I said that I wanted to eat bird's nest porridge, and Rosin Xiang went to the kitchen, but I didn't bring it, and I listened to a few more gossip." Although Mrs. is kind on weekdays, she is still very angry. ”

Can't figure it out after listening to gossip? Yesterday was still calling for wind and rain, but today it was trampled on, who is coaxing? Who knows if this gossip is true or false? Maybe it's also self-written and directed. High-spirited? Does that mean that the humility and temperament of everyday life are all pretended? No matter how the old lady looks at it now, she thinks that Mrs. Du is fake, and she is impatient to look at Mrs. Du at the moment, and looks at Jiang Chongdao coldly: "You can teach the daughter-in-law you married yourself, and teach her what women's virtue is." If you really want to make a fuss and make the house unpeaceful, she will be satisfied only if she loses? ”

Jiang Chong had nothing to say and went to himself. Bai Xiang had already been instructed, so he knelt in front of the old lady and cried: "I beg the old lady to calm her anger, so I can go and see the lady." She said that she was wronged, and even you hated her, and she felt that she had no way to live. She may have done something inappropriate, but she treats you with sincerity, which can be seen by the sun and the moon. ”

This is a tactful mention of the original meat cutting incident, the old lady was silent for a long time, and said: "It's not that I forgot her good, but that she did too much this time." She made a mistake, but she refused to admit it, and she cried and hanged herself like this, which really disappointed me. I'm right about things and not people, this wind must not be long, otherwise they will all follow, and they will be chaotic. "Resolutely not going.

Bai Xiang had no choice but to go back to his life. But I heard the old lady say behind me again: "You tell her that if she really wants her family to remember the past feelings, she will share it in peace." Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

said that Jiang Zhong went to Mrs. Du's room, but saw that Mrs. Du's makeup was not on, her hair was scattered, her face was sallow and sallow lying on her back on the bed, her eyes were closed and tears were not stopping, and there was a shocking red mark on her neck. Holding a letter tightly in his hand, he went over to read it, but it was written by Jiang Changzhong.

In the end, it has been a husband and wife for many years, knowing that she will not really want to die, but seeing her miserable appearance, even if she is pretending, at least eight points are really miserable, and Jiang Chong can't say it at the moment no matter how angry she is. I just sat silently on the side of her bed, and after a long time, Fang said, "Why are you suffering?" ”

Mrs. Du didn't say a word, nor did she open her eyes, but her tears became more and more intense, almost washing her face with tears.

"You don't have to look for death and life like this, I'll ask someone to invite your brother over in the afternoon, let's make it clear in person." Jiang Chong suddenly discovered that the gold-inlaid jade bracelet on Mrs. Du's wrist was originally given to her by herself, and she had not worn it for many years, saying that she was old and fancy and tender. At this time, I saw her suddenly turn it out and put it on, and I felt a little indescribable.

I don't know if Du Qian has done the matter of pushing it to the Xiao family? What did he want to say to Du Qian? Mrs. Du was a little frightened, and said hoarsely, "What is there to say?" I'm already old, and I'm not angry, it's useless to you and the Guogong Mansion, but an obstacle. I admit that it is all my fault, and I just ask you to remember the good of the past, and have more mercy on Zhong'er, so that he can have food and clothing. ”

Jiang Chong's mood was extremely complicated and indescribable, he let out a long sigh, rubbed his yang point painfully, and said tiredly: "How can I be such a ruthless and unrighteous person? If you hadn't done it, I'd ......."

Mrs. Du suddenly turned over and sat up, rushed towards him with tears in her eyes, hugged him tightly, and cried with her heart and intestines: "Ah Chong, Ah Chong, I am wronged, I am really wronged, you can't treat me like this, I feel uncomfortable, I can't wait to die to be clean, I will never quarrel with you again in the future, you can do whatever you say, you know that I am willing to die for you......"

Jiang Chong had two of him in his body, one asked him to hug Mrs. Du to comfort her, and the other told him sensibly that he should have reservations. He let Mrs. Du sit in his arms for a while, and finally got up and hardened his heart: "You have a good rest, I will make a decision on this matter, if you are really innocent, I can't wronged you." Zhong'er should have it, and he can't get what he shouldn't. ”

Seeing Jiang Chong go, Rosin looked at Mrs. Du sympathetically. Madame has lost a lot this time, and she has made such a big fuss, and she has not gained anything. But I saw a strange smile on Mrs. Du's face, and she disappeared in an instant. Then Mrs. Du fell asleep peacefully, not at all tossing and turning as she had done last night, and wishing to pull her hair bare. Bai Xiang looked at it coldly, and Mrs. Du had at least asked for half of Jiang Chong's forgiveness.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the kitchen to deliver the best bird's nest porridge, and apologized again and again. Mrs. Du didn't eat, and lay down to sleep peacefully. In the afternoon, when I heard that Du Qian was coming, I talked with Jiang Zhong in the study for nearly an hour, and then I went to apologize to the old lady, and came to see her again, she covered her neck in shame and disappeared. Du Qian stood outside the screen and scolded her fiercely, scolding her so that her tears rippled and she couldn't cry. This time, the old lady persuaded her and asked Du Qian to stop scolding. Immediately afterwards, the old lady came in to see Mrs. Du again, saying that she had wronged her.

Mrs. Du humbly accepted the old lady's condolences, and her heart was full of pride, this must be done. Sure enough, there was a rumor later, saying that Du Qian had done two things, the first was that he really pushed this matter to the Xiao family, there is evidence and truth, including Jiang Changyang and King Jing's secret words are all related to the Xiao family. The second thing is that Du Qian promised that he would try his best for Jiang Zhong and strive to go back as soon as possible. But Jiang Chong's posture was a little vague, but the old lady was really tempted. That's why the old lady came to see her later.

But Jiang Chong, who should have appeared the most, did not appear, she waited until the evening, Jiang Chong came, did not say anything wrong to her, and did not show that he wanted to take advantage of the relationship of the Du family to go back quickly, but informed her of two things very calmly, first he would give Jiang Changzhong a year's time, and Du Qian tried his best to cultivate Jiang Changzhong, and watch Jiang Changzhong's performance; The second is to handle the marriage of Xiao Xuexi and Jiang Changyi this year, marry Xiao Xuexi through the door, and help her take care of the family when the time comes.

The first thing is very good, at least Jiang Changyang is not the most ideal candidate, Jiang Changzhong's chance is very, very big, and Mrs. Du has almost determined that the position of this world is in the bag; But the second thing is very bad, why has it been proven that the Xiao family did it, and they are still in such a hurry to marry Xiao Xuexi? And to divide her rights? What does that mean? Does Jiang Changyi also have a chance? She looked at Jiang Chong guessingly, realizing a terrible fact, although he had compromised, he no longer trusted her......
