Chapter 53: The Oath
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
The burst of heat on his forehead made Xue Su a little shaken.
opened her mouth, she couldn't say no at all, after all, Liu Yiqing was still in the wolf's den, and if she stayed for a while, it would be more dangerous, and she really couldn't wait.
Walking out in a carriage, she remembered that Hu Mingyue had said before that the Xu family was also in Jingyang in their early years, and later the family moved to the capital and opened a restaurant.
However, this family is not hugely rich, otherwise it would not be so shallow that it would not even let go of the family background of the in-laws.
The coachman of the General's Mansion used to be a soldier under Chu Qinghe, because he was injured on the battlefield and had difficulty moving, he was criticized after returning home, Chu Qinghe couldn't bear the suffering of his old subordinates, so he brought people back.
The carriage quickly stopped in front of the Xu family, and it was said that it was best to pay a visit in advance to comply with the rules, but at this moment, the situation was urgent, and Xue Su couldn't care so much.
Chunlan, who followed her, walked up the stone steps and said to the little man guarding the door: "I am tired of reporting, the wife of the general of the auxiliary country has come to visit the young grandmother." โ
As soon as he heard the words "General Fuguo", the little guy's legs were weak, he glanced back, and found that there was a couple standing not far away, among them, the man as tall as the iron tower, was the general who led the troops to fight before, such a character actually came to the little Xu family, and it looked like he was still old with the young grandmother, how is this good?
The little servant's sweat was like rain, and it was clear that the weather was cold and dripping into ice, but the underwear on his body had been soaked through cold sweat, and he said tremblingly, "Please wait for a while, and the slave will go in and pass it on." โ
As he spoke, he staggered and ran into the yard, Xue Su stood at the door, remembering the frightened eyes of the little guy just now, and couldn't help but clench his cuffs.
The little servant ran outside the main hall, the masters of the Xu family were all in the house, and when he saw the slave so impatient, a trace of disgust crossed Xu Yu's eyes, and he scolded, "What are you doing in a panic?" I really don't know the rules. โ
Kneeling to the ground with a thud, he said, "Old lady, there is a distinguished guest outside, it is the auxiliary general and his wife, they have to see the young grandmother." โ
"Nonsense, Liu Yiqing is just an ordinary merchant girl, how can she know someone from the General's Mansion?" Xu Yu reprimanded.
Hearing his sister's words, Xu Yuecheng couldn't help frowning, he just turned twenty this year, his face was very handsome, plus he had studied for a few years, and his business methods far surpassed his father's, and he was nicknamed a Confucian businessman by his peers.
"If I'm not mistaken, General Fuguo is also a person from Jingyang, and the people from the General's Mansion returned to the capital a few days ago, could it be that when they were in Jingyang, they were involved with the Liu family?"
Master Xu stroked his beard, remembered his daughter-in-law who was sick in bed and was already burned, and said, "Invite people in first, anyway, Liu's serious illness is her own poor health, and it has nothing to do with us, as long as she doesn't offend people." โ
Xu Yu gritted his teeth with hatred, "I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have let the Liu family see that Hu Mingyue before, it must have been that slut who had a lot of tongues and was climbing in front of outsiders, which caused trouble for our family." โ
"Shut up!" Xu Yuecheng scolded.
He is not as open-mouthed as his sister, the Hu family is also an imperial merchant in the end, although Hu Mingyue is married to an ordinary Confucian student, but who knows if that person can soar? Because the Liu family offended people to death, it was really not worth it.
"Take people to the Autumn Moon Garden, find a mother-in-law to watch, and don't let the Liu family talk nonsense."
The little guy replied, and then hurriedly ran out and led Xue Su and his party who were waiting in front of Xu's house in.
"Our young grandmother has recently had a high fever, and she hasn't been able to get better after taking bitter medicine for a few days, and she even talks nonsense, don't take it ......seriously."
The Xu family went up to the master and down to the slaves, all of them were black-hearted, Xue Su didn't believe them at all, he sneered at the moment and didn't say anything.
The little guy was bitter in his mouth, he never thought that he would encounter such a drudgery today, if he provoked the lady in front of him, he didn't know if his life could be saved.
Walking to Qiuyue Garden, Chunlan pushed the carved wooden door open, and a strong bitter taste came to her face, Xue Su unconsciously glanced at the ground, and lowered her voice and said:
"Watch out for the threshold."
Chu Qinghe tightened his daughter-in-law's soft and boneless little hand, and a burst of warmth rose in his heart, and even the rigid outline seemed to be a little softer in the cold wind.
It is said that a foreign man should not enter the woman's bedroom, but he is not worried that Su Niang will go in alone, so he simply follows her.
The little guy has already recognized that this is the auxiliary general in front of him, where can he dare to stop it? I could only watch with a bitter face as Wu Yang and his group of people walked into the house.
After scanning around the bedroom, Xue Su didn't find Cui Fu's figure, she stood directly in front of the bed, and saw Liu Yiqing, whose face was pale and thin, trembling with anger.
Liu Yiqing has only been married to the Xu family for a long time, even if she suffers from the cold, she will not be tossed like this, her lips are chapped and skinned, and her arms are like reed sticks, if she doesn't come, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive this hurdle.
"Chunlan Qiuju, you help Miss Liu and bring people back to the General's Mansion."
There were more than a dozen maids and women in the house, all of whom had just rushed over after listening to the young master's orders, and they were shocked when they saw that they were going to take the young grandmother away.
"The young grandmother married the young master of my family, and she is a member of the Xu family, even if you have a noble status, you can't do such a thing as robbing people's women!"
Xue Su didn't talk nonsense with this meaty mother-in-law at all, she asked, "Where is Cuifu?" โ
The mother-in-law was dumbfounded, and she chattered for a long time, but she didn't say a complete sentence.
"Tell your master to treat the descendants of the Liu family well, otherwise things will make a big deal in the future, and I'm afraid it won't end well." After saying cruel words, Xue Su walked out without looking back, and these subordinates were like soft-footed shrimps, and they didn't dare to follow at all.
By the time the master of the Xu family got the letter, Liu Yiqing had already been taken into the carriage and had already gone away.
Xu Yuecheng's face turned pale with anger, and he slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the fragments of porcelain were splashed on the minions' faces, but they didn't dare to say anything, and knelt honestly.
"Then the Xue clan is too rude, how can he bully people like this? Liu Yiqing is the daughter-in-law of our family, what is the reason for forcibly taking people away? It's better to sue the official and ask Jing Zhaoyin to call the shots! โ
When Master Xu heard his wife's words, his face turned as black as the bottom of the pot, "You stupid woman, can you afford to provoke Jing Zhaoyin by the dignified auxiliary general?" What's more, Liu Yiqing was about to lose her life by your good niece, even if she went to the government, our family ignored it, don't you think it's enough to be embarrassed? โ
Xu Yuecheng's noble concubine Guo Shi happened to be pregnant recently, she was very hypocritical, what she ate and vomited, it was like a bodhisattva, she had to be offered, Guo was still lying in the house, and she was not in the main hall.
"Rush Ming Yuecheng to the General's Mansion for a trip, bring the Liu family back, treat others well, you must not let the Guo family toss, a concubine is a concubine, even a noble concubine is a cheap thing, the piece of meat in the stomach is worthless, you all remember it one by one!"
How could Mrs. Xu listen to such words? Guo is her own niece, if it weren't for the middle of the family, where would a girl from a good family be willing to be a concubine, if Liu died, Guo gave birth to a son and had a chance to straighten out, but now because the general's mansion is involved, the two bamboo baskets of the aunt and nephew are empty, and Mrs. Xu can't wait to bite a mouthful of silver teeth?
------
The carriage quickly rushed back to the general's mansion, and the maids went to ask for a doctor to check Liu Yiqing's pulse.
The gray-bearded old doctor let go of his hand and couldn't help but scold:
"It's really nonsense, although this lady is infected with the cold, it is not serious, the reason why her body is losing so much is because she hasn't eaten for four or five days, if it is a few days, she will wait to collect the corpse!"
Xue Su's face turned pale, she never thought that the Xu family would be so shameless and could treat people so badly, if she went a few days late, wouldn't she be able to see Yiqing?
Qiu Ju sent the doctor away, brought a bowl of rice soup from the kitchen, and fed it to the people's mouths spoonful by spoonful.
Chu Qinghe also heard about Liu Yiqing's situation, he walked to the side hall, pulled the cold fingertips of his little daughter-in-law, and pinched it gently.
"Liu's body is fine, as long as you take care of it for a while, you can recover your health, you had better send a letter to the Liu family now, so as not to cause misunderstandings."
Xue Su sighed, although she rescued her friend, her mood was still bad.
The slender lotus root arm wrapped around the man's thin waist, her cheek was against his chest, and she asked with a crying voice, "People say that infatuated women are negative men, if you change your mind in the future, will you ......?"
Chu Qinghe had already guessed what she wanted to say, and his eagle eyes couldn't help revealing a hint of fierceness, and he pressed the woman's shoulders with both hands, and said angrily, "You don't believe me? โ
Tears rolled in his eyes, Xue Su was still aggrieved in his heart, and he gave up on himself and said, "What's the use of me believing in you?" Nothing in the world is unchanging, and you won't not understand the truth that people's hearts are changeable! โ
In her previous life, Wang Youqing didn't care about her, but with Princess Jinyue, she could soar one step forward, and no one could refuse such a temptation, so she became a victim of abandonment.
Slender shoulders trembled slightly, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh, and his fan-like palm gently patted her back, with a rare trace of tenderness in his tone.
"I, Chu Qinghe, swear that if I am sorry for Xue Su in this life, I am willing to die without a place to be buried!"
The woman sobbed lowly, and did not take the initiative to stop him, as those empathetic women did.
Since the day of rebirth, Xue Su has been like duckweed on the water, a heart has always been unrealized, and now only this person solemnly swears that her panic and panic can be slightly weakened.
"This is what you said, you are not allowed to take concubines, you are not allowed to have maids, and you have to be good to me for the rest of your life, otherwise you won't want this life!"
