Chapter 168: Poisonous Woman
The old lady is very happy when her grandchildren are reunited, although she doesn't like her daughter-in-law very much, but in her eyes, no matter who gives birth to her grandchildren, they are treated equally.
She is very grateful to God that the industry can be recovered after more than ten years, so her son and daughter-in-law are unwilling to let them recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and she does not force it.
She hugged Lian Yi and Hanxi, looked at Zhenye and the industry, and said: "Zhenye, did your father give you Zhang Luo's marriage, you see that your younger brother got married earlier than you, and the child is also earlier than you, do you have to wait for your nephew to call uncle, are you in a hurry?" ”
"Yes, if my father has an arrangement, my grandson will definitely marry earlier and marry another granddaughter-in-law for you." Bi Zhenye has always been filial to his grandmother, this kind of thing is just talking, he just follows his grandmother's wishes to please her.
After that, the things that his mother ordered him to send were presented to his grandmother one by one, and in addition to some snacks to eat, there were some nourishing bird's nest ginseng and the like, and the old lady said when she saw it: "Pregnant women eat bird's nest the most, these are just right, give them to Lian Yi to eat." ”
Zhenye said: "You and Lian Yi are eating, and your grandson will bring some from home." ”
Ershan said: "Don't be busy, I have sent a lot of things at home, and there is nothing missing, even grandma has enough to eat." ”
The old lady smiled and said happily: "I am really blessed, there are many noble ladies of my age in the capital, but there are also many children and grandchildren who are not filial." How many people just look good on the outside, but inside they have long been corrupted in order to fight for family property and status, and it is rare for my grandchildren to be so well-behaved and harmonious. ”
Ershan and Bi Zhenye looked at each other and smiled.
They didn't dare to think that if one of them entered the top three after the palace examination, and even became the champion, would they still be so harmonious with each other, but as a result, both of them were outside the top three, and after letting go of those reputations and glory, they could calmly look at brotherhood.
Ershan grew up in the Lingxiao Inn, and he has been moral affection since elementary school, if he forgets all this for hatred, he will really forget his roots, and he will also live up to Ling Chaofeng's painstaking teachings.
In the afternoon, the brothers went back to the yamen, and Han Xi stayed for half a day to accompany his grandmother, and it happened that Ershan's female relatives in the home of his colleagues in the criminal department came to visit, and Lian Yi entertained the guests with some snacks brought by Bi Zhenye.
The same dim sum, the old lady took a bite, felt sweet and greasy and put it down, Hanxi ate a piece, and the three ladies who were guests each ate a piece, and they all praised the sweet and exquisite pastry.
Lian Yi had no appetite these days, but after not wanting to taste it, she actually aroused her appetite, and unconsciously, she ate two pieces of dim sum while laughing with the guests.
The guests remembered that the old lady was old, and that she remembered that she was pregnant and hard, so she didn't dare to bother too much, and she was going to leave after sitting for an hour.
Before everyone got up, Lian Yi suddenly vomited, and the maids hurriedly came to help, thinking that it was just joy, but her abdominal pain was like a twist, she covered her stomach and fell, beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on her forehead, and her face was pale and her lips and teeth trembled.
"My stomach hurts......" Lian Yi clutched her stomach in pain, "It hurts......"
The family was in a mess, looking for a doctor, looking for Ershan, and several ladies didn't know what to do, and they were afraid of causing chaos to the master's house, so they left first.
Ershan rushed home from outside, with a solemn face, and the doctor told him that his wife might have ingested a very small amount of arsenic by mistake.
The amount of arsenic is small and does not harm life, but the wife is pregnant, so this matter can be big or small. Or the fetus can't be saved from self-abortion, or it can be saved, but it can be severely poisoned, and I don't know if there will be any deformed and strange children in the future.
"What do you mean?" Ershan looked at the doctor heavily.
"Lord Ling, forgive the villain for being ruthless, for the sake of the child and his wife, this baby is ...... It's better not to. The doctor said bitterly, "My lord, the doctor is benevolent, we are doctors, but every life must be saved." But think about it, if the child born to the future lady is crippled, have you ever thought about how the child will feel that he is forced to come into this world when the child grows up? I don't know, but I know that there are risks and risks, and in the end, if we can't all be happy, it will be a lifetime of pain for you, your wife, and your children. ”
Ershan clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Can the child still be saved now?" ”
The doctor said: "There are some signs of miscarriage, and I have taken the medicine for the time being, but I am afraid that it is not a long-term solution." ”
"Does Madame know?"
"I didn't dare tell her yet."
Ershan called the next person again, asked about what happened at home, and ordered someone to seal up the relevant food and refreshments, and then came to the bedside.
Seeing that his wife's face was pale and her lips were gray and bloodless, he was very distressed.
Lian Yi was groggy in pain, and when she opened her eyes and saw that her husband was back, she shed tears, stretched out her hand to Ershan, and said, "I'm fine, I'm worried about you again." ”
"Stay up, and it won't hurt tomorrow." Ershan held his wife's hand and said, "Lian Yi is not afraid, I am here." ”
Lian Yi said with tears in her eyes: "Xianggong, will the child be okay?" ”
Ershan couldn't hold back, his eyes were scarlet, and his voice trembled and said, "Lian Yi, this child is not very good, let's not want it, okay?" ”
"Why?" Lian Yi looked at him in astonishment, because he was too shocked, and he had a little strength, so he got up a little and asked, "Ershan, why don't you want our children?" ”
"Because ......," Ershan said bitterly, "Lian Yi, you are poisoned." ”
He reluctantly explained to his wife, invited the doctor to come and said it again, and Lian Yi listened to tears like rain, crying heartbroken. Although Ershan was on the doctor's side, she still begged her husband to let her keep the child.
Seeing that his wife was so pitiful, Ershan couldn't bear it, and finally agreed to Lian Yi and asked the doctor to think of a son to save the fetus for them.
Hanxi saw all this, and my grandmother was very sad, so she ordered someone to send a message back, saying that she would stay here for a few days to take care of her grandmother.
But at night, Hanxi suddenly had abdominal pain like a twist, shivering all over, and the doctor hurried to check, and said that he had been hit with a small amount of arsenic.
Ershan frowned, and hurriedly called someone to ask at his colleague's house, only to find out that the three ladies had the same symptoms as Hanxi, but they had seizures before sunset.
The only thing these people had eaten together was the pastries sent from Bifu, and the old lady was fortunate to have only eaten a small bite, and there was no major problem.
"Is this going to poison me, or is it going to poison Lian Yi, or is it going to poison our whole family?" The old lady was mad, pointed to Ershan and said, "We must find out, we must find out who did it." ”
Ershan said to his grandmother indifferently: "Grandma, my mother was like this back then, she ate a small amount of poison every day, and finally died of poison, right?" ”
The old lady shook her head: "She's sick, Ershan ......"
Ershan asked her, "Do you really know the truth?" ”
The old lady was asked.
After half the night, Han Xi and the ladies in the mansion of Ershan colleagues gradually eased up, but unfortunately the next morning, Lian Yi couldn't hold it up and finally miscarried.
Ershan hugged his wife, who was depressed and weak, and his heart was so painful that Lian Yi asked him: "Xianggong, why do we have to forgive others and spare others, but in turn harm ourselves?" ”
At dawn that day, he did not go to the second mountain of the early dynasty, and broke into the prime minister's mansion with his sword.
But although Prime Minister Bi has resigned now, there is still the old scenery in the house, and there are many people in the family's nursing home, Ershan did not get his wish to point the sword at the poisonous woman, but because he failed to go to court on time and injured people, he was entangled in a lawsuit.
Three days later, the news reached the Lingxiao Inn, and learned that Lian Yi had a miscarriage and Ershan was suspended from work to check, and the inn, which had been jubilant these days, was suddenly shrouded in clouds.
Ling Chaofeng decided to go to Beijing in person, and Aunt Zhang was worried that Lian Yi would have no one to take care of, so she decided to go with him, so she handed over the inn to Uncle Biao and Xiaowan, and Su Su to take care of it.
They set off on the same day, Xiaowan packed a lot of dry food for them to take on the road, and sent it off in front of the inn with everyone, Ling Chaofeng shook Xiaowan's hand and said, "When I solve the trouble there, we will get married when we come back." ”
Xiaowan said: "Don't worry, take your time, be careful on the road." ”
Ling Chaofeng glanced at his son and said solemnly: "Don't mess around, if you make trouble, you can weigh it yourself." ”
Pei'er hid behind Xiaowan's skirt, but said obediently: "Daddy, be careful on the road, ask your aunt for Pei'er, and ask your aunt to eat well." ”
Ling Chaofeng touched his son's head, made eye contact with Xiaowan, and hurriedly went on the road with Aunt Zhang.
Xiaowan led Pei'er to stand in front of the door and watch, until the carriage was out of sight, and then returned to the inn.
After listening to Su Su talk about Lian Yi's ups and downs, she said that she was the daughter of the prefect, but she couldn't help herself, and she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and she committed suicide by jumping off the building.
Xiaowan felt that everyone in this inn had a story, and everyone was not easy, but they all worked hard and lived bravely, and each one was more amazing than the other. She believes that Miss Lian Yi's body will definitely get better and give birth to a white and chubby doll in the future.
Let's say that Ling Chaofeng left suddenly, Xiaowan was really uncomfortable all of a sudden, looking at the empty head behind the counter, and his heart was also empty.
Fortunately, Pei'er pestered her to sleep with her every day, and Xiaowan also moved from the guest room to the backyard and slept in the former house of Ershan. Although the room in the backyard is not as comfortable and spacious as the guest room, she feels that living here is like a family, and Pei'er is not particular, as long as she can sleep next to her aunt, she can sleep soundly anywhere.
In the blink of an eye, it was another three days, and it was estimated that Ling Chaofeng and Aunt Zhang should be in the capital, and they said that they would send someone to deliver the news when they got there, and if the person who sent the letter was faster, they would be able to come in two or three days.
Xiaowan looks forward to someone to deliver the letter every day, although she is illiterate, but when there is news, she can feel at ease.
On this morning, she took Pei'er to wash clothes by the well at the back door, and someone suddenly shouted outside the door: "Xiaowan, Xiaowan, are you there?" ”
Xiaowan was a little familiar with this voice, so she ran to see it.
I saw that it was the sister-in-law of the village head Zhou standing in front of the inn, trembling and not daring to come in, seeing Xiaowan, she hurriedly ran up and dragged her and said: "Night, something happened to your family, your mother and the man of the Wang family next door were bumped into by someone, the village chief was angry, and now he has been stripped naked and tied to the ground to dry." ”
Xiaowan was dumbfounded when she heard this, sure enough, something happened, there was a trouble before, the village chief spared them, and didn't use the village rules to deal with it, but this woman was not afraid of death, and she actually got it again.
When Su Su and Uncle Biao came, they were also dumbfounded, and Xiaowan said tremblingly: "The rules in our village, the men and women of Tongjian, are to be stripped naked and tied to the ground for three days. ”
Sister-in-law Zhou said: "Your younger brothers and sisters have no one to take care of, and the two children have cried all night. ”
Su Su had seen the terrifying scars on Xiao Wan's body with her own eyes, she was really lucky to live to be seventeen years old, a poisonous woman like Xu's turned out to be both vicious and shameless, God didn't accept her, didn't she just wait for today.
She said, "Don't worry, when she beat you half to death, she didn't see anyone save you." ”
Xiaowan lowered her head and didn't speak.
Sister-in-law Zhou said embarrassedly: "Little lady, that's not what you said, the two children are innocent, and besides, it's two lives, don't you say?" ”
She said to Xiaowan again: "Actually, your mother is afraid that she can't be saved, Aunt Wang kowtowed and knocked her head to blood, and the village chief didn't let go, saying that they have repeatedly done shameless things, and they must be exposed for three days to make rules for the villagers." But the younger brothers and sisters are pitiful, you go back to take care of them first, and then write a letter to find your father back, and the rest is naturally your father's decision. ”
Xiaowan sighed lightly and said to Su Su and Uncle Biao: "I'll just go back and take a look, cook food for my younger brothers and sisters, the rules in our village are like that, I can't save her, and it will be her life to die or live in three days." When my father comes back, I'll come back, don't worry, she won't die this time and half her life will be gone, and she can't beat me if she wants to. ”
