Chapter 3: The Jackal's Relatives (I)
"The county lord has suffered." In the evening, Su He, the personal maid, took the medicine, spoonful by spoon to the lying on the side of Qiu Yulan to drink, looking at her still shocking scars after taking the medicine, Su He turned his face from time to time, and wiped away his tears on his shoulder, "Mrs. Gu is so ruthless!" ”
"It's a shame that the prince arrived in time." The late Princess Ruan's wife, Mother Zhou's eyes were red and swollen, but she still pretended to smile and comforted, "If the prince has opened his mouth, the county lord should be able to recover from his injuries next." Wait until the injury is healed...... Let's ask my cousin to find a reason and take the county lord to live in the general's mansion......"
Su He is the granddaughter of Zhou's mother, and now there is no fourth person in the inner room, she can't help but rush: "Where is the prince who really saves the county lord?" It is clearly because she is afraid of arguing with the Duchess of Qin Guo who is admiring the plum blossoms in the courtyard next door, which makes people let go of the county lord! If it weren't for General Jiang Xiao's arrival, our county lord would have ...... long ago."
"You tap!" Mother Zhou frowned and said in a low voice, "Do you want to kill the county lord!" ”
Then he whispered to Qiu Yulan, "County Lord, let's send someone under the fence now, you ...... Bear with me! Don't show your hatred for the king! ”
"Mother Zhou, I know." Qiu Yulan coughed a few times, spit out blood, and said lightly, "Not only the prince, but even my aunt and I are very considerate of her, after all, Kang Jinzhang is her only child." ”
Su He listened to her indifferent tone, and looked at her in surprise, but saw Qiu Lulan's expression indifferent, but his eyes were like a cold pool, unfathomable - just one glance, Su He couldn't help but shudder!
"If only you understood." Mother Zhou also noticed Qiu Yulan's abnormality and sighed, "We can only endure ...... now"
"Mother Zhou, you just said cousin, who is that?" Qiu Yulan suddenly interrupted her, "Aren't the cousins of my grandfather's family already gone?" ”
In my memory, my grandfather, General Ruan, was the number two person in the Great Rui Army, and his prestige was second only to the hussar general and Qin Guogong Jiang Qianchuan, who was second only to the "dry city of the country", and the Ruan family was also very prominent back then.
But because of a fiasco of General Ruan ten years ago, he not only sent the lives of his son, grandson, and son-in-law, the former Xihe King Qiu Zhongyan, to it, resulting in the ruan family and his in-laws all extinct, and even the glory of half his life in exchange for fighting horses was deprived of only a general's mansion and the false title of general.
It is also because of this that Old Madam Lu has the courage and opportunity to attack General Ruan and Princess Ruan!
"It's the heir of General Ruan when you left Beijing, the county lord." Su He whispered, "It is said that General Ruan has been here since the old ministry and the princess before. I heard that you were trapped in the mountain by an avalanche and your life and death were uncertain, so I offered to send the princess to the end of the ...... on your behalf."
Speaking of this, Su He's eyes turned red, "As soon as the princess breathed, Mrs. Gu and Princess Yang sent someone over to say that the princess would not have a good day, and if she didn't bury her quickly, it would hinder the family...... If it weren't for the fact that the cousin gave the palace a meeting gift of 5,000 taels of silver after he came, they even planned to carry the princess out on the same day......"
Qiu Yulan exhaled: "I know. This table ...... Cousin or cousin? ”
"My cousin is five years older than you." Su He said, "By the way, my cousin originally entrusted Princess Yang, and you will report to him as soon as you come back." Maybe I was dragged down by things during the day today, otherwise ......"
"Five thousand taels of silver for a chance to send me off, if you come to see me again, how can you be empty-handed?" Qiu Yulan didn't speak, thinking in her heart, "It seems that the reason why Princess Yang kept me is not so simple. However, in my memory, the Ruan family had a very difficult life after its defeat, and often asked Princess Ruan to sell her dowry to secretly help, and the old general Ruan was also poisoned by the Lu family because of this...... This cousin who suddenly appeared can have such a big spending? ”
At this time, the door of the inner room was suddenly pushed open, and a brightly dressed woman walked in with a sway, and saw Qiu Yulan waking up, let out a long "yo", walked to the embroidery bench not far away, and sat on the golden knife, and said meanly: "You are not dead yet?" ”
"You!" Su He was so angry that he wanted to stand up, but he was quickly pressed back by Zhou's mother's eyes, and quickly gave Qiu Yulan a look, and then smiled at the mother-in-law: "Mother Fan, why are you here?" "This is Qiu Yuqing's henchman Fan's mother-in-law.
"Joke!" When Mother Fan heard this, she immediately grabbed the tea bowl on the table and smashed it to the ground, "Your master killed our son-in-law, thinking that General Jiang Xiao came to the door and the princess would say a word to you, and this matter is over?!" ”
Su He couldn't help but shout: "My county lord didn't hurt anyone!" Obviously, you forced my county lord to ...... in the first place."
"Little hoof dares to talk back to the old lady?!" When Fan's mother heard this, her eyes flashed, she stood up, and stepped forward to give Su He a heavy slap! Su He screamed, and even the small half bowl of medicinal juice that had not been fed in his hand was poured on the quilt covered by Qiu Yulan!
"County Lord!" Zhou's mother didn't care about her granddaughter, and hurriedly stepped forward to check on Qiu Yulan, and saw that Qiu Lulan was pressed by Su He to the point that her face turned pale in pain, but after Su He, she still shook her head slightly at herself to indicate that it was okay, so she was relieved.
Seeing this, Mother Fan suddenly pushed Su Yi again, but this time Su He would rather fall to the blue brick ground next to him than press it to Qiu Yulan!
"Phew! Under. Cheap thing! No rules! Mother Fan didn't dare to go up directly to fight Qiu Yulan, and when she saw that she couldn't hurt her, she spat on Su He's body and said contemptuously, "In short, our son is dead, but you are alive, it is impossible for our wife to just forget it!" ”
"What does Auntie want?" Qiu Yulan's face was pale, and she looked at her for a moment, and asked indifferently.
Mother Fan was also a little hairy by her, but when she thought that Princess Ruan was dead, this so-called county lord was only twelve years old, and she had Qiu Yuqing as a backer behind her, she suddenly glared again: "How is it?!" Mrs. is such a son as a son, and he is hard to pull up! Not to mention this flesh-and-blood relative......"
She slapped her legs and slapped the table and talked for a long time, seeing Qiu Yulan slowly closing her eyes, it seemed that she couldn't support it, and she was afraid that she would delay her business, so she didn't continue to shake her majesty, and said hatefully, "The old lady and your mother's dowry will all be taken out to compensate our young lady for going out of the cabinet in the future!" Miss Xing agreed to help you plead in front of Madame, and spare your little life! Otherwise......"
Mother Zhou and Su He both exclaimed, and Mother Zhou said angrily: "Those are all our county lord's!" It's all given to Miss Cousin, what should we do with the county lord?! ”
"Don't think that if there are two cheap bones who are willing to serve you, they can save your little life!" Mother Fan sneered and glanced at them, "If it weren't for our young lady looking at you pitifully and thinking of your cousin's affection, it's no wonder that you can survive tonight!" I can tell you, just this is such an opportunity, after dawn, not to write the two dowries as compensation for the death of our son-in-law - you just wait to go down and accompany your buried mother-in-law! ”
After speaking, she took another sip on Zhou's mother, and then she walked away proudly!
Mother Zhou tearfully helped Su He up, and asked Qiu Yulan again: "County Lord, ...... you?"
Before the words fell, there was movement outside, and a tactful voice sighed and said, "Why is this door not closed?" ”
"Embroidered girl!" Zhou's mother was startled, she didn't care about changing the quilt for Qiu Lulan, and hurriedly went out, "Why are you here?" But what does Princess Yang command? ”
