122 Little Guy's Mother (Part II)

"Interstitial pneumonia is not an infectious disease." Bai Min said softly, agreeing with Chen Xiansong to go in,

As soon as I stepped through the door, I smelled a faint smell of medicine. There was no light in the house, but fortunately, the moonlight came in, so Chen Xiansong could see the furnishings in the room. Although the Lensi family has long since declined, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. The furniture in the room is very exquisite, and if you put out any piece, ordinary people may not be able to afford it if they don't eat or drink for several years.

Not far from the folding shutter window there was a bed on which a man lay down. The curtains were wide open, and the bright moonlight shone on her face, allowing people to see her face clearly.

Chen Xiansong is a literary young man, and in his mind, a woman who can give birth to a beautiful girl like Frances should be a big beauty, and she should be a delicate and sick beauty like Lin Daiyu. But when he moved his gaze to the head of the bed, he saw only a woman with dry hair, sunken eyes, sallow skin, cheeks down, and white lips.

Chen Xiansong has read the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", and he has never been able to understand what kind of girl is a sick beauty, although the new human women have different personalities, but they are all so healthy that they can't even give birth to a sick beauty, let alone a sick beauty. He heard that more than 100 years ago, his compatriots of natural people filmed the film and television of the Dream of Red Mansions, but he couldn't find the source of the film on the Internet, maybe it was because time had passed and the source of the film was extinct.

Just like he was curious about the creature of the fat man, Chen Xiansong was also quite curious about the special individual of the 'sick beauty', but there was always a gap between fantasy and reality, he thought he could see it today, but he almost scared himself. Although this is disrespectful to the patient, the woman in the bed does look like a female ghost in the white moonlight.

Chen Xiansong felt like he was watching a horror movie...... If it weren't for Bai Min by his side, he felt that he would definitely be afraid. In contrast, Frances, the little one, sat on the edge of the bed, snuggled comfortably in the arms of the woman, and did not mind the rather intimidating appearance of her mother.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry I can't get out of bed to meet you." The woman's voice was hoarse, low, and had a rather awkward feel to it. Her vocal cords were slightly damaged by years of coughing: "My name is Catherine, the mistress of the Lency family, and Frances's mother. ”

Chen Xiansong ......" Then he pointed to the girl next to him: "This is Xiaomin." ”

"A soul contemplator, and a servant of the sun god, actually came to the door together at night." Catherine smiled miserably: "If it was more than ten years ago, when our Lency family had not yet declined, I would have felt very happy. But now, I'm scared. &*．． The fastest update** These more than ten years of bedridden life have made me understand that there is no care for no reason between strangers and strangers. ”

Catherine's eyes were full of defensiveness. The life after the death of her husband flashed in front of her eyes. The servants ran away, and her husband's friends, who were like brothers, began to covet her beauty after his death, and after she had been sick for a long time, they turned their minds to her growing daughter.

If it weren't for the fact that their Lency family still retains a noble title so that the group of people would not dare to mess around, otherwise something would have happened a long time ago. But recently, I heard from Jay that he had received rumors that many of the city's nobles were planning to join forces with the royal family and the council chamber to strip the Lenhee family of their titles.

Without the title of nobility, their family is just a fresh fish jumping around on someone else's board. If it was a few years earlier, Catherine would definitely ask Chen Xiansong and Bai Min for help, but now...... At such a critical time, the two of them came too at the right time, which made her suspicious.

As a mother, she knows very well the 'potential' of her daughter, she has been charming to the bone at a young age, and she is even more amazing when she grows up. For more than ten years, she has been lying in bed thinking about what happened to the Lency family, although every time she thinks about a problem, her brain throbs, but after thinking about a problem for a long time, she can always come up with some clues. …,

A few months ago, it dawned on her that the Lency family had been calculated. In Qingxi City, there is a force that is targeting them and driving them to a dead end step by step. And the reason why they did it definitely had something to do with her daughter, or the strange pattern behind her daughter.

She had a hunch lately that the moment of the dagger was approaching. At this time, a soul contemplative came to the house, a servant of the sun god. She subconsciously put the two of them into a hostile situation. What's more, she has been sick for more than ten years, and no one knows the reason, this woman who claims to be a servant of the sun god came, but it only took a few minutes to tell her condition, and more importantly, she just saw that this woman named Bai Min, who was too beautiful to speak, was the maid of the man in front of her...... The status of the Sun God Servant is so noble, how can he be subservient to mortals, even a soul contemplative cannot convince a Sun God Servant. Therefore, she felt that she had seen through the 'true colors' of these two people, so she naturally took precautions and felt that her daughter had been deceived.

Chen Xiansong only felt that the other party's attitude seemed a little strange, but thinking of a woman who had been lying in bed for more than ten years, riddled with illness, unable to see the future, and worried about her daughter, it was normal for her to have some mental or emotional problems over time. Bai Min keenly felt Catherine's hostility towards Chen Xiansong, but the chip evaluated Catherine's threat level as 'extremely low', so there was no need for her to enter the preventive countermeasure procedure.

Catherine saw that Chen Xiansong did not react, and she continued: "So I want to know what Your Excellency wants from us!" What kind of secret is hidden behind the pattern behind my daughter, even if it is death, let us die to understand. ”

Having said this, Chen Xiansong finally felt that something was wrong with the situation, he said that the other party's words were carefully recalled, and then asked uncertainly: "Madam, did you misunderstand something?" We're not here with malicious intent, you're confusing us with some people. ”

"Garfield never uses words to tell the world how vicious he is, they only express it in deeds." Catherine said coldly, followed by a violent cough.

"Mom, the big brother is really here to help us." Frances helped Chen Xiansong to speak kindly.

It's a pity that Catherine didn't believe it, she gently stroked her daughter's face: "You are still young, and you don't understand many things. This world is darker and more ruthless than you imagined, and your mother can't protect you, it's really incompetent. ”

"Mother......" Frances knew that her mother was not in good health, so she never made her mother angry, after hearing this, she knew that her mother was wrong, but she did not dare to point it out, for fear of affecting her mother's mood and aggravating her condition. In such a tangled mood, the little guy had to cast an apologetic look at Chen Xiansong.

Chen Xiansong scratched his head in embarrassment, he had never dealt with such a situation, and he didn't know what to do. At this time, Bai Min, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke: "She suffers from a slight paranoia of being killed, now Xiao Song, no matter what you say, it's useless, let her be quiet by herself, wait for a while, she will probably be able to figure it out by herself." ”

Chen Xiansong believed in Bai Min's judgment very much, he politely said goodbye to Catherine, and when he was in the door, little Frances caught up, her expression was quite worried: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my mother to ...... her"

"It's okay." Chen Xiansong patted the little guy's head: "When your mother has figured it out, we'll come back." ”

Then the two left, and Frances stood in the doorway and quietly disappeared into the night against the background of Chen Xiansong, and after a while, she turned and slowly returned to her room.

Unable to get out of bed and walk outdoors for many years, Catherine's vision has decreased, but her hearing has increased dramatically. Chen Xiansong and Frances were talking downstairs, and she could hear them clearly as she lay upstairs. It is not easy for a sick person to fall asleep at night, and it is not easy for her to fall asleep after lying in bed for more than ten years. …,

People who have nothing to do like to think wildly, and Catherine is the same, in just ten minutes, she endured the pain in her head, thought about a lot of things, and finally she Jay came in and said slowly: "I remember that there are more than ten gold coins at home...... Tomorrow morning, you take out ten pieces, go to the mercenary union, and inquire about the two people just now, the girl just now was right, I may be too suspicious. ”

Jay frowned and said, "Madam, if we take out ten gold coins, our food may not last long." ”

"Even if we have those ten gold coins, we won't be able to support them for long." Catherine said indifferently: "Someone is sucking our flesh little by little in the dark, and now ...... We don't have much meat left for them, and then they'll swallow us in one gulp, and there's not even a bone left. ”

Jay saluted and exited the room.

After Chen Xiansong returned to the association, he asked Balf to take some mercenaries from Greystone Village to guard around Frances's house, he was a little worried that someone would be bad for the little one. On the afternoon of the third day, the white-haired Jay came to the association to meet Chan Hsien-song, and after a bit of aristocratic noise, Jay said that Lady Catherine had invited him to the mansion as a guest.

Chen Xiansong naturally agreed.

The living room of Frances's home. The little guy was wearing a milky white ruffled silk dress, although it was very beautiful, but Chen Xiansong could see that this dress was some years old. In addition, she wears a beautiful emerald hair ornament on her head, which is very beautiful, but the gemstone is a very common green crystal, and ordinary people can afford to wear it.

The little one sat quietly, and beside her was the well-dressed, but more withered mistress, Catherine.

"Your Excellency, thank you for coming to the Humble House again, regardless of your previous suspicions." Catherine sat down in her chair and bent slightly, it was such a simple gesture that she could do it with great difficulty, and even caused a slight cough, and if it weren't for Jay supporting her, she would have collapsed from the chair.

Although Catherine's face was very bad, her spirit seemed to be quite excited and excited: "Your Excellency, I didn't expect you to be Sith's teacher...... It was my fault for offending you the night before last, please blame me...... But don't hate Sith because of this, she's a good boy, and if you can dissipate your anger, you can do whatever you want me to do. ”

Catherine bowed her head deeply to the teenager in front of her. Jay has already investigated that Frances has the potential to become a contemplative of souls, and her teacher is Chen Xiansong.

The moment she heard the news, Catherine first felt great joy, but not long after, she was scared into a cold sweat, the reason is very simple, the night before, she greatly misunderstood Chen Xiansong, there is a rule in this, the student's immediate family, if they offend the teacher, the student will also be named 'untiful'.

This is a great sin.
