Chapter 23: Admitting Mistakes
When Xu Xin heard Xu Lan say this, her eyes couldn't help but feel a little more pity: "Good sister, it's good that you know, you must not be stubborn when you get to your father, just bow your head obediently and admit your mistakes, my father has been in a much better mood these days, and I don't think I will blame you anymore." ”
When Xu Lan heard Xu Xin say this, she nodded obediently.
King Xu's Mansion, Study.
King Xu closed his eyes and lay on the recliner and pretended to sleep.
Now, the weather has been much better in recent days, and the sun is gradually coming out, and King Xu has not had anything bad in the past few days, he will lie on the recliner every day, and then the sunlight from the window of the study will come in, lying comfortably on it, thinking about nothing.
Xu Lan knelt on the floor of the study, there was no carpet on the floor, and the cold bluestone slab gave Xu Lan the coldness of being punished on the snow that day.
It's just that she didn't dare to speak, she could only keep her head down, and she didn't dare to look up at his father.
After a long time, just when Xu Lan thought that she was going to kneel like this for another whole day, King Xu finally spoke
"How are you feeling better these days?" As soon as Xu Lan heard her father speak, and she still cared about her body, for some reason, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
"Father, my daughter's health has improved a lot, and my father doesn't have to worry about it anymore." Speaking of this, Xu Lan paused, and then continued to say softly: "Father, it was the daughter's fault that day, the daughter really shouldn't be so rude and fierce, and even make a big attack on the girl of the Chu family." In the end, not only did she have a high fever and was seriously ill in bed, but even her father lost face in front of King Chu, all of this was her daughter's fault, and I hope that your father, you will forgive your daughter this time, regardless of the villain. ”
After speaking, Xu Lan kowtowed heavily on the floor, and did not get up again, just waiting for King Xu's reply.
When King Xu heard this, he really didn't have any expression on his face, but he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "How dare I blame you, you are the second girl of King Xu's Mansion, isn't it always up to you to decide this palace?" I'm in front of you, don't say anything about my father, I'm afraid I can't even compare to an ordinary elder, you have always had the most ideas of your own, what can I say? ”
When Xu Lan heard this, her heart became even more uneasy: "Father, it's the daughter's fault, the daughter really knows it's wrong, I just can't be angry with the Chu family girl, she keeps cursing the real brother for not dying well, she is a person who is about to die, father, you know, I have a good time with the real brother, I have always hated others for talking about the real brother's affairs, so I was also angry." ”
"True brother, real brother, I only pity my real brother, not only was he seriously injured and lying on the bed, but now he is also being used as a shield by his sister."
This sentence can be said to be very heartfelt, that is, Xu Lan didn't dare to say another word for a moment, so she could only kowtow a few more times on the floor.
"Father, the daughter is wrong, the daughter really doesn't want to use the real brother's affairs as a shield, the daughter is just ......"
"Okay, don't say it again," Xu Lan didn't finish her words when King Xu interrupted her.
"I always thought you were really well-behaved and sensible, your sister was too soft-hearted, although the real brother said that he was resolute, but he was too upright, and it was inevitable that he would be a little pedantic, and only you, sensible and lively, good at flexibility, I really liked you before, and I thought you were a good girl."
Speaking of this, King Xu paused for a moment, and then continued: "However, you are really too disappointed in your father. ”
When King Xu said this, he had already opened his eyes and stared straight at Xu Lan who was lying on the floor: "What is the identity of the girl of the Chu family?" Who are you? Even if what she says is excessive, you have to endure it, because this is in King Xu's Mansion! But as for you, not only did you not endure to fulfill the responsibilities of a master, but you also fought with that girl, and you simply lost your father's face. I've never had a daughter like you, so stupid and reckless! ”
"As for what that Chu girl said, yes, that Chu girl has always been a little arrogant, but did she really poke your sore spot like that? Or is it because the girl from the Chu family said that you are a concubine? ”
When Xu Lan heard the words of the prince, her heart had already changed from surprise at the beginning to cold: "Could it be that in my father's eyes, I am such an unbearable person?" Am I the one who doesn't care about my brother's life and death and only cares about my own reputation? There were so many people present that day, father, you can go and ask, when the girl of the Chu family said that I was a concubine, did I refute a sentence or two? I just waited for him with a good voice, but it was really the Chu girl who talked about her brother's affairs, and even cursed her brother, so I couldn't fight with him because I was angry! ”
"Now it's just your mouth, the maids of that day, even if they say that it blooms, who knows what you have in mind? Who knows if it's you playing on the spot, or if you really care about your brother? ”
Speaking of this, King Xu sighed again, "Well, in the end, it's my fault, I used to appreciate that you were a girl's family, and your mother went early, so she blindly favored you, but unexpectedly messed up this concubine's share, so that you have a trace of extravagant delusions, and you can't keep your own daughter's duty, and in the end, I am also at fault for this kind of catastrophe under the bed." ”
"From now on, you can stay in your courtyard for a long time, and without my orders, you are not allowed to enter and exit the gate of King Xu's Mansion at will. I can't control you anymore, but I can still do it if I manage you in this Xu Wangfu. ”
Xu Lan listened to Lord Xu's words, and her heart turned out to be extremely aggrieved: "Father, is it true that in your eyes, your daughter is really just a concubine?" The love between the father and the daughter in the past ten years has been written off just because of the Chu girl? ”
King Xu was unmoved when he heard this, he stood up, stood at the window with his back to Xu Lan, and said lightly: "No matter what you think, all in all, you don't have to go out of the gate of King Xu's Mansion in the future, you give me a good stay at home, and learn from your mother what rules and what is the system!" ”
The words have come to this point, Xu Lan looked at her father's ruthless figure, and her heart gradually cooled.
She slowly stood up, saluted King Xu again, and said, "Since the father has made up his mind, and the daughter says that no matter how much it is, it is useless, since this is the case, the daughter will retire first." ”
When Xu Lan returned to her yard, Xu Xin was still in her yard, Xu Xin saw Xu Lan walk in from a distance, she hurriedly greeted her, and wanted to ask a question or two, but before she could speak, she looked at Xu Lan's lost soul, and the rest of the words were not asked.
Xu Lan didn't seem to see Xu Xin, she just walked into her room in a daze, looking at the scenes in the room, she felt that this Xu Wangfu made her extremely strange.
Her father didn't believe her, and even imprisoned her in the world of King Xu's mansion for the rest of his life.
"Sister, you...... Are you alright? What did my father just say? Why did you come back like that? Xu Xin looked at Xu Lan's dejected appearance, sat down quietly next to her, and asked cautiously.
It's just that Xu Lan didn't respond, and after a long time, she just shook her head sluggishly, and said slowly: "Sister, you go back first, I'm a little messy now, I want to sleep." ”
Xu Xin originally wanted to say something more, but when she saw Xu Lan's appearance, she also knew that she had no choice, so she could only comfort her sadly and said, "Okay, then you can sleep slowly first, if anything happens, remember to notify Baizhu to come to me, and my sister will definitely come to see you." ”
Xu Lan nodded weakly, then went to bed by herself, pulled the quilt and lay down.
Xu Xin looked at it for a while, but she could only sigh and withdraw to close the door.
As a result, something big happened in the middle of the night.
Xu Xin fell asleep in a daze, when she suddenly heard someone banging on the door frantically, and suddenly woke up from her dream.
When she calmed down, she heard the voice outside, and it was the voice of Baizhu: "Miss, Miss, please, open the door quickly!" ”
At this time, Bilan, the girl next to Xu Xin, had already woken up, hurriedly put on her shoes, and went down to open the door.
I saw that Baizhu rushed in all of a sudden, and shouted loudly: "Miss, go and have a look, my second girl...... My second girl has a high fever again! ”
When Xu Xin heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked, she hurriedly got out of bed, Bi Lan also hurriedly took her coat and draped it on Xu Xin's body, and a group of people hurried to Xu Lan's yard.
Xu Xin pushed everyone away, sat next to Xu Lan and took a hand, and sure enough, Xu Lan had a high fever again.
"Sister Lan, what's going on? Isn't the disease already cured? Why did you suddenly start having a high fever again? Xu Xin frowned and asked.
"The slave maid doesn't know, it's the second miss, since she came back from the master's study, she has been lying on the bed and sleeping, it was just in the middle of the night, the slave maid got up to visit the second miss, only to find that the second miss had a high fever again."
Hearing this, Xu Xin didn't want to say anything more, so she could only order: "Don't say it, go and call the imperial doctor, but did you call the imperial doctor?" ”
Baizhu nodded hurriedly: "I have already sent someone to find a doctor." ”
Xu Xin heard that someone had already gone to find the imperial doctor, and her heart couldn't help but relax: "That's good, you guys go and get some wet cloths to cool her down." ”
When Baizhu heard this, he hurriedly went to prepare cold water and clean cotton cloth.
Xu Xin looked at Xu Lan, who was burning red on the bed, and couldn't help but clench her hand, and sighed in her heart: "My silly sister, what happened to you?" ”
After a while, the imperial doctor came, because it was a night visit, and the whole person was in a hurry, sweating profusely.
