Chapter 45: Afflict Me Too
When the news reached Ma Xiuying's tent, she was half-leaning on the bed drinking porridge, and it was Xu Da's sister-in-law Xu Biyi who served her to drink porridge.
After Chen San came in, he first bowed his hand, and then said, "Miss, my subordinates came to tell Miss. ”
"Where does the joy come from?" Ma Xiuying didn't raise her eyelids. Xu Biyi fed her a mouthful of porridge with a spoon.
Chen San smiled and said: "Miss, the marshal said that you are not too young, and you will marry the young lady in a few days." ”
"Marriage?" Ma Xiuying glanced at Chen San in astonishment, she forgot to drink the porridge, and she asked, "Who said I want to get married?" Who am I going to marry? ”
"Miss Hui, the marshal's order, enter Zhu Chongba as the ninth husband, choose a day to marry Miss as his wife, Miss ......" Before Chen San's words were finished, Ma Xiuying was a little anxious, she struggled to put on her shoes, stood up, and said: "I don't want to marry Zhu Chongba, I'll go and tell my father in person." With that, he struggled to move forward, and before he had taken two steps, his legs became weak, and he fell to the ground.
At the same time as Ma Xiuying, it was Xu Biyi who felt like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. She didn't understand why she would pull Ma Xiuying and Zhu Chongba together. When she heard the news, she was shocked, and her hand was unstable, and the soup bowl she was holding fell to the ground and bloomed all over the ground.
And Ma Xiuying fell on one of the fragments impartially, and suddenly blood flowed, and she struggled to get up and walked out. Xu Biyi stood there dumbfounded, looking at her, only feeling that there was a commotion in her mind, and she didn't know what to do.
"Who's looking for the marshal? The marshal is so busy, where does he have time to deal with these trivial things of yours. I said, my eldest lady, you're pretty much fine. The marshal has found such a good in-law for you, you should be grateful to the marshal, why are you so picky. Look at the soles of your feet, the size is about the same as a dustpan, it's rare that Zhu Chongba is willing to marry you, you should be happy. What kind of trouble are you still making here, and you are not afraid of spreading it and being laughed at by others! ”
Chen said for a long time, Ma Xiuying only did not hear of it, she stood up forcefully and continued to walk outside. But after walking a few steps, he fell heavily to the ground. Chen sneered: "I said Miss Ma, you yourself look at what you look like, but you are just a sick seedling, and you still expect your stepfather to marry you to someone?" My Hui'er can marry a husband as good as Lan Yu because my Hui'er is beautiful and smart, and I don't have such a shameful pair of big feet as you, why do you compare with Hui'er? People like you are worthy of marrying a rough person like Zhu Chongba. ”
As soon as Chen's words fell, Xu Biyi had already rushed out. She wanted to ask Zhu Chongba in person to find out what the whole thing was all about. Xu Biyi's rush almost hit Chen, and Chen said angrily: "Dead girl, the master and slave are the same, there are no rules at all!" ”
Chu Liuyan walked in from outside, and saw Xu Biyi rushing out like a wind from a distance. She shouted, "Biyi! Biyi! After shouting several times in a row, Xu Biyi didn't seem to hear it, and left in a hurry. Chu Liuyan didn't know what was going on, so he pushed the door and walked into the tent.
When she entered, Chen was scolding Ma Xiuying, and Ma Xiuying was stupid, sitting on the ground and unable to stand up. Tears welled up in her eyes, but they never fell. Chu Liuyan couldn't help but sigh: Since the last conversation with Miss Ma, she has finally become much stronger.
Chu Liuyan stepped forward quietly, helped Ma Xiuying, and said to Chen: "I don't know what happened, Mrs. worked so hard and brought so many people to Miss Ma's camp in person?" ”
"Chu Liuyan?" Chen couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that the person who came was Chu Liuyan, this Chu Liuyan was the person who brought them back in the first place, and he also saved them, this identity made Chen feel very embarrassed. Chen deliberately avoided Chu Liuyan and rushed over to humiliate Ma Xiuying, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by Chu Liuyan.
"Chu Liuyan, don't rely on yourself to know how to do some kung fu, just talk nonsense here, I'm a mother to see my daughter, have you become a teacher? What's more, such a big matter as getting married, of course, has to be handled by my mother herself, don't you say, Xiuying? Chen said with a smile.
"Marry?" Chu Liuyan's heart sank slightly, and he said quietly on his face: "Dare to ask Madame, are the second young lady and Young Master Lan going to get married?" ”
"Not really. I've always done the fairest thing as a mother. The eldest daughter didn't get married, how could the second daughter catch up with her sister, and it was my eldest daughter Ma Xiuying who wanted to get married. The one she wants to marry is also a first-class good person, that is, Zhu Chongba, the ninth commander next to the generalissimo. Miss Chu, what do you think of this marriage? Is it a match made in heaven? Chen said proudly.
Chu Liuyan helped Ma Xiuying to the bed and lay down again, her face was not shocked, and said: "Is this a match made in heaven, Liuyan doesn't dare to discuss it, but I know that Mrs. must have made a lot of effort in this matter, if the eldest lady is grateful, the first one will thank Mrs. for this mother." Chu Liuyan deliberately used the word "mother" to accentuate his tone. On weekdays, she doesn't like to have verbal disputes with people, but what Chen did really disgusted her. Not to mention that Xu Biyi has a soft spot for Zhu Chongba, just because Chen is so deliberate about dealing with Ma Xiuying, Chu Liuyan is very disdainful.
"You...... Hmph, Chu Liuyan, you do your part honestly, I don't care about you, it's just that you'd better recognize the situation, even if you are a tree, and choose a thick one, lest the wind be too strong and break the thin tree, and when the time comes, the person holding the tree will not know which side to cry on. ”
"Madam, Liuyan doesn't know how to plant trees. Since the lady has come to hug the joy, please go back, the eldest lady is too tired, she needs to rest. If the lady thinks that she still has something to say to the eldest lady, then Liuyan will invite the generalissimo, the eldest son, and the second lady to come over, and the lady's family can enjoy the joy of family here. Chu Liuyan sneered slightly, and said slowly.
"You ......" Chen understood what Chu Liuyan meant, he was using Guo Zixing to pressure himself, although he said that he was Guo Zixing's wife, Guo Zixing was obedient to his words, but he also loved Ma Xiuying for a while, if he saw Ma Xiuying's current haggard appearance, maybe he would be soft-hearted and not let Ma Xiuying get married, so that what he did was really in vain.
"Okay, rest, I'll let my good daughter rest well, I'll see how long she can rest. Let's go. After saying that, Chen took the group of minions under his command and left in a gloomy manner.
Chu Liuyan saw Chen leaving, so he asked Ma Xiuying: "Miss Ma, are you okay?" As she spoke, she poured a glass of water and brought it to Ma Xiuying.
Ma Xiuying's face was sallow, she drank half a glass of water, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, tears also flowed down together, and cried: "I am also miserable." ”
Chu Liuyan was on the side, and he didn't know how to explain her. After a long time, he said, "Miss Ma, I'll help you get out of here." If you have no relationship with Zhu Chongba, even if you marry him, you may not be happy. ”
Ma Xiuying shook her head slowly, and said with a faint breath: "Miss Chu, you see me like this now, where can I go?" I don't want to bother you. Since my father also agrees, then I will rely on him, and it can be regarded as repaying him for his kindness in raising me over the years. ”
Chu Liuyan only felt sad in his heart, the biggest tragedy in his life was not being able to be with his beloved. And Ma Xiuying not only can't be with her beloved, but she also has to watch her beloved marry her sister, and she has to be forced to marry someone she doesn't love.
Chu Liuyan was afraid that Ma Xiuying would not be able to think about it again, so he guarded her on the side, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief until she fell asleep.
She was afraid that Zhu Chongba's side had already made a fuss. After settling Ma Xiuying, he rushed over to take a look.
Before she reached the marshal's camp, she saw Xu Da on the road and walked leisurely. Seeing that it was Chu Liuyan, Xu Da showed a hint of joy on his face, stepped forward, and called softly: "Miss Chu." ”
Chu Liuyan's face was solemn, nodded, and said, "Young Master Xu, have you heard about Zhu Chongba?" ”
Xu Da shook his head and asked, "What's wrong?" He looked at Chu Liuyan's face and already knew what was wrong. Sure enough, Chu Liuyan replied: "The generalissimo ordered that Zhu Gongzi marry Miss Ma." ”
Xu Da has always been an extremely stable person, but despite this, hearing Chu Liuyan say this, his face still changed greatly, and he said in disbelief: "Really? After asking this, he couldn't help but say: "Biyi! Miss Chu, does Biyi know about this? ”
Chu Liuyan knew that he was worried about Xu Biyi, she nodded slowly and said, "Sister Biyi already knows. I saw her run out of the camp at first, I am afraid that she came to find Zhu Gongzi. I was afraid that Miss Ma wanted to commit suicide, so I took care of her and fell asleep before I came to see her. ”
So, the two of them no longer hesitated and went to find Zhu Chongba and Xu Biyi together. So, the two of them no longer hesitated and went to find Zhu Chongba and Xu Biyi together.
walked to Zhu Chongba's residence, and faintly heard Xu Biyi's crying inside. Xu Da immediately pushed the door open and walked in with Chu Liuyan.
In the room, Xu Biyi was sitting on the ground crying, beside her, a dagger fell to the ground, and on Xu Biyi's neck, a trace of blood was shallowly exposed, and the blood was slightly coagulated.
Zhu Chongba was holding the knife wound medicine in his hand and was coaxing Xu Biyi to take the medicine. Xu Biyi just cried and refused to agree.
Zhu Chongba coaxed and frightened and talked for a long time. Seeing Xu Da and Chu Liuyan coming in, he hurriedly said to Xu Da: "Xu Da, quickly let Biyi take medicine, if you continue like this, you will die." No matter what I said, she wouldn't listen to me. ”
Xu Da hurriedly stepped forward, squatted down, took Biyi's hand, and said, "Sister, why are you so stupid?" Listen to my brother's words, first put the knife wound medicine, what's the matter, let's talk slowly. Xu Biyi also refused to pay attention to Xu Da, dragging his arm, just crying.
Chu Liuyan took the knife wound medicine and said, "Sister Biyi, why are you crying?" If you die, can you stop Zhu Chongba from marrying Ma Xiuying? It's a big deal that we won't stay here with Guo Zixing, what's the use of you torturing yourself like this? When Xu Biyi heard Chu Liuyan's words, she felt that it made sense, and immediately stopped crying and said, "Hmph, it's a big deal not to do it here." Chu Liuyan took the opportunity to persuade her to apply the knife wound medicine.
