Chapter 223: The Old Lady Swears

Li Du got out of the carriage, and when he looked up, he saw a circle of people at the door of Yichun Hall, his heart sank, what was wrong, he hurriedly walked two steps and boarded the platform, only to find that there were two people kneeling at the door, and there was a circle of people watching the excitement.

Li Du saw it, he frowned, since the reputation of the master 'medicine' god spread, there are often people who come to the door to kneel and beg, it is really disturbing, he stepped forward to disperse the onlookers, and was just about to speak, when he lowered his head, he was stunned, it was actually the eldest master of the Xiao family.

Li Du slapped his forehead, and now the beam is bigger!

It doesn't matter how many people you have, how can you let the eldest man kneel at the door? After all, the master is still the daughter-in-law of the family, and now she is trapped in Qingxin'an, once the two families have a showdown, it is difficult to say that the Xiao family will not be annoyed and angry because of this, and they really fell out, but they committed the taboo of the prince and the master.

Last night, the master sent a letter, instructing them not to be embarrassed for the Xiao family, and asked him to send "medicine" to the Xiao family, although the heart was uneven, but the master's words did not dare to disobey, this morning went out, before he had time to say to the guy, I don't want the big man to come, look at the posture must be kicked out by the guys in the store.

Thinking of this, Li Du hurriedly walked a few steps, stretched out his hand to help the eldest master up, and said:

"Isn't this Master Xiao, look at it, how can you kneel here, you can kill the shop, please get up quickly, come into the house and talk."

The old man knelt for almost two hours, his legs were numb, and he couldn't raise his head when he saw more and more people watching the excitement.

Helping the eldest lord up, seeing where Xiao Ang was still kneeling, Li Du hurriedly said:

"Rise up too, little brother, and talk in the house."

Seeing Xiao Ang get up, Li Du took the master and servant to the guest room on the second floor, and after sitting down, a guy had already brought tea, and the eldest man took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and then said what he meant.

Li Du listened, hugged his fist to the eldest master and said:

"Don't hide it from Master Xiao, my master is indeed not in Pingyang at present, there is no month or two, it is impossible to come back, even if the master wants to save Ling Lang, I am afraid that he is also weak, the prince has mentioned Ling Lang's illness to the master, my master came back yesterday, let her give the "medicine" to Ling Lang in the next generation, the eldest master might as well take it back and try it, see if you can save Ling Lang's life"

After Li Du finished speaking, he ordered someone to take the "medicine" that had been prepared long ago, handed it to the eldest master, and told the eldest master how to use it.

The eldest master took the "medicine", and when he saw it, there was a heart-nourishing pill, and he had heard the prince say that this heart-nourishing pill was a good "medicine" that Yichun Hall did not sell, and he also knew that the god of "medicine" was sincere to help him, but thinking that the second master did not enter the water and rice, he sighed and said:

"The old man understands the heart of the god of 'medicine', and in the future, where Yichun Hall will be useful to the Xiao family, the Xiao family must be there, but the shopkeeper Li doesn't know, the dog is not a serious illness, the difficulty is that he can't eat anything, I'm afraid that the elixir is useless, the old man came to ask the god of 'medicine', he is really admired for his acupuncture and moxibustion pricking 'acupoint' technique, I don't know if the shopkeeper Li will acupuncture and moxibustion 'acupoint' technique?"

Li Du shook his head and said:

"Acupuncture and moxibustion? I have heard the master occasionally mention it, but first, the business is busy, and secondly, my master rarely returns to Pingyang, and there is no chance to learn, the lord might as well use this "medicine" to try first, if not, you can also think of some other ways as soon as possible, not to mention that my master does not like to save people, even if the master has the heart to save Ling Lang, I am afraid that Ling Lang will not wait for the master to come back. ”

The eldest lord listened to Li Du's words, thought about it, and knew that it was useless to delay any longer, chatted a few more words, got up and said goodbye, Li Du did not force him to stay, and sent the eldest master to the door of the "medicine" hall before saying goodbye, he also hoped that the second master's illness would be cured soon, and the master would be able to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.

……

The eldest lord and the old lady looked distressed at the second master who was tossed to death again, and just ordered someone to crush the anti-nausea pills given by Yichun Tang to the second master, but unfortunately it was useless at all, just poured in, they all vomited out, the second master is weaker today, supported by red beads and red apricots, his hands hung weakly, he vomited like a "shot", turned over the river and the sea, his whole body was a little convulsed, and he was also enduring great torture.

finally stopped tossing, the second master couldn't even speak, and lay there softly, only angry.

The eldest lord and the old lady glanced at each other and shook their heads, knowing that if they continue to toss like this, not to mention suffering, they are afraid that they will really die, and the "medicine" of the god of "medicine" is strange, but if you can't eat it, it will be useless. In desperation, I only heard Hongzhu crying and persuading:

"Second master, the slave begs you to open everything, you are like this, the second "milk" and "milk" know and feel uncomfortable, that day you asked the slave to see the second "milk" and "milk", the second "milk" and "milk" have asked the slave to tell you that the body is skinned, and the parents who are affected do not dare to destroy it, and I hope you can cherish your body and heal as soon as possible, please don't look at anything else, for the sake of the second "milk" and "milk", I don't want you to have anything to do, relax your heart, and get better quickly."

Hearing Hongzhu mention the second "milk" and "milk", the second master's eyelids moved, as if he wanted to open his eyes, but he didn't open them in the end, and his fingers moved, and he didn't react.

When Hongzhu Hongxing saw it, she cried with a whin.

Hearing Hongzhu mention the two "milk" and "milk", the old man's heart moved, and he said to the old lady:

"Mother, it's better to let the eldest lady go to Qingxin Nunnery in person, and ask Xi'er to come back and persuade her, Jun'er may still have a glimmer of hope"

"It's useless, just now you went to ask for the god of 'medicine', the eldest lady heard that you knelt at the door of Yichun Hall and no one paid attention, so she was frightened and went to Qingxin Nunnery in person, Xi'er still said the same sentence: 'Her identity as a concubine is not worthy of the second master, and the second master has already broken off with the second master, please go to the Yichun Hall earlier to ask for help' Hey, she is iron-hearted."

"It's hard to really look at Jun'er like this......"

Ancestral training harms people! Why didn't the old ancestor open his eyes and see, this unsatisfactory ancestral precept has harmed the Xiao family for several generations!

Looking at his son who had a lot of gas and little gas on the bed, the eldest man was speechless for a while, his heart was like a knife, and he shouted silently in his heart, if it was possible, he really wanted to smash this ancestral precept with his own hands, but unfortunately, he was the head of the family, and he couldn't violate the precepts of the ancestors!

For the first time, this man with gray temples, the decisive head of the family in the business field, "revealed" a trace of helplessness, and looked at the old lady pleadingly, hoping that she could make some decision to change the predicament in front of her.

Several maids were busy in front of the second master's bed, and the steps of walking back and forth were very light, for fear of startling the second master, only to hear the sobbing sound of red beads and red apricots.

After a long time, the old lady raised her head and saw that the maid had already cleaned up, and stood on both sides silently. Hongzhu Hongxing had already laid the second master flat on the bed and covered it with a thin blanket. The old lady opened her mouth and said to the maids:

"You all get out!"

The maids answered, tiptoed out, Hongzhu Hongxing stood up, looked at the old lady, the old lady saw it, and said:

"Go down and keep watch at the door."

The two hurriedly answered and walked out. Seeing that there was no one in the room, the old lady stood up tremblingly, supported by the waiter, sat directly on the edge of the bed, and reached out to hold the second master's hand.

Feeling that someone was coming, the second master's eyelids moved, and he didn't react anymore, only to hear the old lady say:

"Jun'er, I know you understand in your heart, but you don't have the strength to say, Jun'er, don't speak, just listen to me, Xi'er is graceful and generous, kind-hearted, don't say it's you, your father and I also like Xi'er, it's not because Xi'er's background violates the ancestral teachings, we won't 'force' you to divorce your wife, since you are reluctant, we won't 'force' you, as long as Xi'er is willing to stay in Xiao Mansion, the eldest master and I will never mention Xi'er's daughter's life experience again."

When the old lady said this, seeing that the second master moved, he seemed to want to struggle and shake his head, the old lady shook the second master's hand and said:

"Jun'er, don't worry, listen to me, I said this, it's not to make you happy, it's really to open it, even if you let the third master be the head of the family, it's better than if you lose your life, Jun'er doesn't believe it, I'll swear to you, as long as Jun'er doesn't die in this catastrophe, my Shangguan clan swears today that in the future, unless Jun'er is willing, I will never 'force' Jun'er to divorce his wife again."

The second master finally opened his eyes and looked at the old lady blankly, his lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

Looking at his grandson's dim eyes, there was still a trace of anger, holding the second master's hand tightly, the old lady couldn't help the old tears, and said in a choked voice:

"Jun'er, relax your heart, lie down here first, and I'll go and call Xi'er over to you."

After the old lady finished speaking, she let go of the second master's hand, but saw that the second master seemed to want to hold her hard, struggling and shaking her head, the old lady's heart was sour, she understood that this grandson was not only desperate for Zu Xun, desperate for this family, but also ruthless despair for Mengxi.

Suddenly let go of the second master's hand, stood up, and said to the servant, the heir prepares a sedan chair and goes to Qingxin Nunnery.

……

The old lady came to Qingxin Nunnery in person, but it was a rare thing, Mr. Yun Qian led the Qingxin Nunnery and everyone to the gate early, slipped in two rows, stood neatly, and greeted the old lady.

Seeing that the old lady's sedan chair was coming, Mr. Yun Qian greeted him from afar, and when the sedan chair stopped, there was already a mother-in-law who opened the sedan curtain for the old lady, Yun Qian stepped forward to help the old lady get off the sedan chair, saw the ceremony, and ordered everyone to come over to the old lady's salute, the old lady swept around, didn't see Mengxi, sighed secretly, waved her hand, let everyone disperse, and directly ordered Yun Qian to take her to the East Meditation Hall.

Mengxi welcomed the old lady into the East Meditation Hall, saw the ceremony, the waiter helped the old lady to sit down, and the mother-in-law had already brought tea, Zhixia hurriedly stepped forward to take it and poured it for the old lady, and poured a cup for the second "milk" and "milk", and stood on the side.

After the old lady sat down, she raised her eyes and swept the circle of Yun Qian and everyone who followed up, and said:

"Go down, all of you"

Everyone hurriedly responded and retreated, and in the end, only Zhixia Zhidong was left to serve the book and painting, and the old lady looked at the four of them and said:

"Go down with the four of you, the squire is guarding outside, and no one is allowed to come in."

The waiter listened to it, answered, and walked out, knowing that Xia Zhidong only looked at the two "milk" and "milk", Mengxi saw it, and said to them:

"I'm fine, you guys go down too."

Zhixia Zhidong answered, walked out, and closed the door for the second "milk" and "milk".

Everyone left, and the old lady looked at Mengxi, who was still standing aside, and said:

"Let's sit down"

Mengxi answered, sat on the chair opposite the old lady, looked up at the old lady indifferently, the two of them just sat like this, looking at each other, and no one had the intention of speaking.

Mengxi has been in the house for two years, and in the past two years, Lao Taijun knew that her concubine's background was contrary to the ancestral teachings, but she listened to Master Jingyun's words, believed that she was the second master's nobleman, and believed that she could keep the Xiao family safe, so she wanted to divorce her, and she had been using her.

Mengxi is not, since she knew that her concubine's background violated the ancestral teachings and was destined to have no chance with the second master, she began to plan for the future, but before she had no money and no power, she didn't have to use all means to sneak around the supreme governor of Xiao Mansion and hold up a protective umbrella for herself in Xiao Mansion.

These two women who have been using each other, two equally wise women, two women who are also at the peak of their respective powers, began the first face-to-face peace talks as the life story of the Mengxi concubine was completely revealed.
