Chapter 209: Inevitable Punishment (Part II)
Li Fu pulled the reins tightly and was frightened and afraid that he couldn't pull it, and suddenly the shadow flashed in front of him, and his hand suddenly became light, and the reins on the palm of his hand had been snatched away, and the man stood on the carriage, his wind-blown clothes flew up, and he held the reins in one hand, and his slender eyes were spondent and calm. (Niu Wen ~ Net)
The horses pulling the cart had their two front hooves dangling in the air, and the mother-in-law who followed the carriage held the carriage tightly, and her face showed horror. In the carriage, Jinxiu took a step forward and held Rong Hua, "Rong Hua didn't crash into the opposite carriage."
Rong Hua sat down and Jinxiu pulled each other, the carriage shook left and right a few times, the horses neighed again, and the carriage stopped smoothly, only to hear someone shouting outside, "Master Hou." Rong Hua glanced at Jinxiu, Jinxiu stepped forward to open the carriage door, opened the curtain, and before he could see the current situation clearly, someone had already gathered on the street, and Jinxiu hurriedly lowered the curtain.
Although I don't know what happened, the shout just now should be Xue Mingrui outside, Rong Hua stabilized his mind slightly and listened to the sound outside.
The coachman who followed the carriage chose a slightly farther road back to Xuefu, and needed to detour one more street than the short road, because this road was slightly wider, and there were not many vendors on both sides, but who knew that the carriage had just galloped up and suddenly a woman rushed towards the carriage, and the coachman was stunned when he saw it, and he tightened the reins, and shouted to the woman, "Get out of the way." ”
But the woman did not dodge, the whole person saw that he was about to reach the horse's hooves, and the coachman was also in a daze, staring at the woman, forgetting to grab the reins with both hands, thanks to the Hou Ye jumping into the carriage in time, and the little servant next to him stepped forward to drag the woman aside, which saved the disaster.
Although the woman was stopped, her eyes were red, and she managed to break free from the little girl and still rushed forward.
Someone stepped forward to help stop her, and the woman opened her mouth and began to cry, "You dignitaries and dignitaries will only bully us women......,... How old is my child, and he was dragged into the yamen by you, and now his life and death are uncertain, what is the sin of those children of what age? Mrs. Wu Muhou pretended to save my child, not to use my child to seek wealth, now he is no longer Shi Chong's child, he has been inherited in our family, and has nothing to do with the criminal officer Shi Mian and Shi Chong! ”
Rong Hua heard it clearly in the carriage.
I only heard another warm voice say: "Don't worry, ask everything clearly, don't listen to others." ”
Rong Hua's face couldn't help but change when he heard this voice.
After Zhao Xuanhuan finished talking to the woman, he asked the attendant to help look at the woman of the Shi family, "Come forward and talk to Xue Mingrui here," Master Hou. "Eyes glanced at the carriage.
Xue Mingrui had already gotten out of the carriage and walked to the front of the carriage, "Thank you Shizi for your help." ”
Zhao Xuanhuan hurriedly said: "Master Hou, don't be polite, I happened to be passing by." ”
Jinxiu opened some curtains, and without waiting for Xue Mingrui to ask, he said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, the young lady is just a little frightened." ”
Zhao Xuanhuan was about to look away, his heart was concerned, his eyes couldn't help but sweep over, through the gap in the curtain, he saw the elegant and beautiful face in the carriage, his lips pursed, his eyes were pleasant, and he was not shocked" bowed slightly to this side, and then bent his lips to reveal a reassuring smile, Zhao Xuanhuan only felt that the blood in his whole body was instantly sucked away" Breathing stagnant and instantly poured into the heart, standing there unable to move, his body was hot and cold, and his mind was blank, The shadows in front of him and the old ones in their minds suddenly coincided.
Xue Mingrui put down the curtain and turned his head, Zhao Xuanhuan's eyes were still stunned, and Xue Mingrui frowned and looked over.
Zhao Xuanhuan raised his head and collided with Xue Mingrui's gaze, and those slender eyes approached like sharp blades with a chilling cold air, which made Zhao Xuanhuan's eyes shrink and suddenly wake up, "The head bowed and said: "That woman probably has some misunderstanding about the Hou Ye, and the grandson of the Shi Mian family ......,..."
Xue Mingrui said lightly: "I will deal with it when I ask clearly." ”
Zhao Xuanhuan's face stiffened, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed and said, "Then I will leave." "I didn't dare to look in the direction of the carriage again, and almost fled.
The attendants of the Zhao family hurriedly followed.
Zhao Xuanhuan got on the horse" pulled the reins, the horse withdrew its hooves and ran, his heart beat in a panic with the sound of the horse's hooves, the whole person was like being in the clouds, and then recalled the smile, but it was not for him to bloom, and suddenly opened his eyes and his heart was in a mess.
When Zhao Xuanhuan left, Rong Hua called Xue Mingrui in a low voice, "Master Hou, it's not far from the house, after all, it's because our family's carriage is frightened, so it's better to ......."
Xue Mingrui said: "Okay, let someone escort you back to the house first, and I'll arrange the rest." Xue Mingrui looked at the little guy beside him.
The little guy stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, You Da and I will definitely send the young lady back to the house properly." ”
Rong Hua instructed the mother-in-law who followed the carriage to stay and take care of the woman, so that the carriage gradually moved forward.
Jinxiu was already busy in the carriage, and Rong Hua's elbow hit the wooden fence decorated in the carriage, and Jinxiu was in a hurry to check.
Rong Hua shook his head, "It's much better now." "When she first hit it, she was numb and couldn't move in pain, but now she gradually got better, only felt a dull pain in her elbow, but fortunately the suit she wore outside was a little thicker, otherwise it might have been broken.
Jinxiu's voice was eager, "How good is this, it must be injured, it is better to let someone inform Lang Zhong first, or wait for the young lady to enter the mansion, and immediately let Lang Zhong prepare some medicine to apply it." ”
Rong Hua shook his head, "It's just a bump, how can it be so serious, there is medicine for external injuries in the house, put on some and leave." ”
Jinxiu is still not at ease, but he can only check it when he arrives at the house.
After a while, the carriage arrived at Xue's mansion, and before Rong Hua got out of the car, he heard Jinxiu say outside: "Madam." ”
Rong Hua was slightly startled and hurriedly came out of the carriage, Xue Yishuang, Xue Yiwan, Chunyao and others were really standing at the hanging door and waiting, and Mrs. Xue was also coming out of it.
Seeing Rong Hua, Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Hua hurriedly got out of the car and stepped forward to salute Mrs. Xue, "Why did my mother come out?" ”
Mrs. Xue said: "Mingrui sent someone back to say, I really didn't worry about it, so I came out to take a look, and walked out unconsciously", said and looked Rong Hua up and down, "Is there any injury?" Mingrui has invited Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong will come in a while, so that the maid next to you can talk to Lang Zhong. ”
Rong Hua stepped forward and said, "Mother, don't worry" There is no big problem, thanks to the Hou Ye who pulled the reins in time. ”
Mrs. Xue looked more comfortable, took Rong Hua's hand, and said as she walked towards the house: "Rui'er asked people to come back and say, but it scared me, and I will bring a few more people when I go out in the future." ”
Rong Hua smiled and nodded, "Let my mother worry about it."
Mrs. Xue said, as long as you're okay. ”
Rong Hua looked at Xue Yishuang and Xue Yiwan who were following him, and Yishuang and Yiwan both nodded to Rong Hua.
A false alarm" everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Hua thought of the woman who stopped the car, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I want to call a few mothers-in-law to pick up the woman, after all, it is a female dependent, and it is not easy for the marquis to ask if there is anything, it is better for me to come forward and ask in the house to see if there is any difficulty." "Xue Mingrui and Rong Chuan also said before that they encouraged their grandchildren, the criminal department should not have used a child as a threat, the case was not clearly tried but innocent women and children were implicated, so it was unreasonable to say anything, the woman's sad cry also made people listen to the moved, human life is at stake, and it cannot be dealt with carelessly.
Besides, what Dingnan Boshi Rongchuan meant, this case may fall on Xue Mingrui......
Mrs. Xue didn't expect this, but when she heard Rong Hua say this, she also felt that there was some truth" "Did you talk to Rui'er?" ”
Rong Hua said: "What Master Hou means is also to ask clearly. ”
Mrs. Xue nodded and said, "Then you can arrange it!" ”
Rong Hua turned his head and instructed Jinxiu, "Go and call Mrs. Niu, and bring a few more people to greet Master Hou." ”
Jinxiu hurriedly went to arrange.
Rong Hua turned his head and said to Mrs. Xue with a smile: "Mother, I don't change my clothes, I go directly to the old lady to ask for peace, okay?" She arranged for someone to pick up the woman, and she always had to tell the old lady that it would be too late to go back and change her clothes, so it was better to go directly.
Mrs. Xue looked at the colorful crown worn by Rong Hua, "What's wrong with that, I'm afraid that you will work too hard to wear a uniform and a colored crown." ”
Mrs. Xue doesn't like to talk very much, but her heart is excellent, and she will come out of the house when she hears the news" Rong Hua's heart was hot, "At first, I felt very heavy when I wore it, but gradually I got used to it, and now that my mother is talking about it, I really feel that it is getting heavier and heavier." ”
Mrs. Xue smiled: "That's not all. ”
After passing the moon gate and walking into the corridor, Rong Hua said: "Prince An sent a post, and she will come tomorrow." ”
Mrs. Xue was a little surprised.
Rong Hua said: "I just said that I wanted to come to greet the old lady." ”
Mrs. Xue nodded, "I remember that Prince An has only been here two or three times over the years, and it was when the old lady celebrated her birthday. ”
I don't have much interaction on weekdays, and it's not a festival.
Rong Hua's eyes floated in front of Prince An's flickering appearance, and he went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Rong Hua and Mrs. Xue, Yishuang, and Yiwan entered the old lady's courtyard, and Xue Yu came out of the house and opened the curtain and said, "Madame, young lady, fifth miss, and sixth miss are here." ”
Rong Hua entered the house and saluted the old lady, and the old lady beckoned again and again, "Rong Hua come over and let me see, where is the injury?" What the hell is going on? ”
Rong Hua told the woman about meeting her, and said that she would let her mother-in-law go and pick up the woman into the house.
The old lady looked at Rong Hua and nodded, "Since there is such a thing, you have to make it clear, so as not to misunderstand, since you are a lady, you should come forward", said with a kind smile, "It's just that you just came back from the palace, and you were injured again, and now you have to work hard." ”
Rong Hua smiled: "I'm not tired. As he spoke, he took Prince An's post to the old lady.
The old lady looked at the post and only smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time." He handed the post to Li's mother and instructed Xue Yu, "Go to the young lady's room, ask the young lady's maid to bring a set of clean clothes, and then let the daughter-in-law of the Kong family comb the young lady's hair." ”
Rong Hua hurriedly said: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll go back to the room and leave." ”
The old lady smiled: "I don't know this dress yet, it's just too heavy to wear, you've been tired in the palace for a day, and you can be more comfortable if you change your clothes earlier." ”
Mrs. Xue also said on the side: "Since the old lady said so, you can go into the house and change your clothes!" ”
Rong Hua was willing to comply.
Entering the inner room, Xiangyu hurriedly came out of the room to serve.
The colored crown on his head was removed, Rong Hua breathed a long sigh of relief, and then took off the command suit, the whole person seemed to be much lighter all of a sudden, Xiangyu carefully checked Rong Hua's injured elbow, saw a large bruise and hurriedly said: "I'll go and ask someone to get ice to put a compress on the young lady." ”
Rong Hua said: "Let's wait until the evening." ”
Xiangyu persuaded: "Just tie it with a cloth bag, and it will be fine for a while, but I'm afraid it will be even more serious if it drags on until the evening." As he spoke, he went to the medicine cabinet and took out the cloth bag, "The young lady took a look, it was very light." I got good material for the little master to sew before, so I thought it would be better to make one more spare, the material is used well, and it can't be wet for a while. ”
Seeing Rong Hua nodding, Xiangyu hurriedly arranged for the little maid to get ice.
Rong Hua looked at Xiangyu's proper appearance, even if she gets married in the future, she will definitely be a housekeeper mother when she comes back, the old lady showed her Xiangyu's dowry list before, and now she asked Xiangyu to wait for her, how could she not understand the purpose of this.
Chunyao took the clothes, and Rong Hua put ice on it and combed her hair again before coming out of the house.
Jinxiu happened to come in and tell her mother-in-law that she had taken Shi into the house.
Rong Hua looked at the old lady.
The old lady said, "Go quickly!" ”
Rong Hua came out of the old lady's room and asked Jinxiu, "Master Hou didn't come back?" ”
Jinxiu said: "Hou Ye asked people to bring a letter back, saying that Hou Ye went to the Yali." ”
Rong Hua nodded.
Jinxiu said again: "The little guy next to Hou Ye also asked me to bring a message to Mrs., and Hou Ye took over the case of the Ministry of Industry's corruption of ink." ”
Rong Hua's heart sank, and sure enough, it was what she thought, Rong Hua turned her head to look at Jinxiu, "Let the kitchen cook some things that children like to eat, and then let people go to the garment maker to buy a few clothes worn by seven or eight-year-old children, and after a while, Lang Zhong will come and let Lang Zhong wait in the house." ”
Jinxiu said: "What does the young lady mean, Master Hou will bring the little young master of the Shi family back?" ”
Rong Hua said: "I'm just guessing. I hope Master Hou can ...... smoothly"
Jinxiu went down to arrange many things, and Rong Hua took Chunyao into the house.
Mu Hibiscus opened the curtain of the side room to let Rong Hua in, Shi Shi sat on the chair and didn't know what he was thinking, when he heard Rong Hua's footsteps, Shi raised his head, his originally tense face was a little tougher, he pursed his chapped lips, and the tea in front of him was not touched.
Rong Hua stepped forward and sat on the chair next to Shi, "But Shi Liang's wife, Shi Er's grandmother?" ”
Shi Shi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and looked sideways at Wu Muhou Jiaren.
