Volume 2 Two Changing Drums: The Spring of the Teaching Workshop is Deep, and the Wind and Moon are Strong Chapter 194 Keeping Your Mouth Shut and Surviving
Xiao Tao heard the footsteps, raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Du, but she said numbly and mechanically: "Old lady." ”
Old Madam Du snorted, which was acceptable, and then said, "The matter has come to this." I won't talk about anything else, but I have a few questions for you. Seeing that Xiao Tao was stunned and did not react, Mrs. Du asked bluntly, "What happened that night?" Didn't you already save the child? Why is it suddenly gone again? ”
Child-Little Peach's heart was like a drop of blood, these two words made her heart ache so much that she could barely breathe, and that little life was gone before it took shape in her belly. Xiao Tao only felt as if her whole body was immersed in cold water, and there was no gap where she could breathe. The whole person's brain was wooden, and Mrs. Du's question she repeated indifferently: "Why is it gone-why is it gone?"
Old Madam Du coughed impatiently twice, and her voice became irritable: "I'm asking you." Why is it gone? Was it suddenly gone, or was something happening that we didn't know about? ”
What happened? Xiao Tao's memory seemed to be opened again, the whole torrent rolled, and the pain she didn't want to remember was torn again. The two women who pressed her, Zhao Kuangyin-Xiao Tao, who poured medicine into her mouth like an iron tower, slowly turned her head and stared at Mrs. Du tightly, she was Zhao Kuangyin's mother, she actually asked why the child didn't have it? Xiao Tao's gaze was a little gloomy, staring at Old Madam Du with a sense of forest.
Old Madam Du was a little uncomfortable by her, looked down at herself and frowned: "Presumptuous! I'm asking you something, and you don't answer, what are you doing staring at me so deadly? ”
Hundreds of pictures flew out of Xiao Tao's eyes, some in white robes at night, some dodging in dreams, and the clearest was the child with big eyes flashing in the dream, Xiao Tao curled up and buried her head deep in her knees, not wanting to look at anyone anymore, only a low whimper in her throat. and twitching shoulders, you can see that she is crying, but the voice is as bleak as a ghost in the middle of the night.
The corners of Mrs. Du's mouth hooked upward, she really couldn't see this picture, but she couldn't either. I had to just look at Xiao Tao and cry mournfully. Lan Gu felt sour when she heard this, sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted Xiao Tao's shoulder, and persuaded her: "Girl Peach, the old lady also knows that you are sad, but things are already like this, so you can mourn." If the condition suddenly became worse that night, it would be providential, so I won't say anything; If someone does something to you. Tell the old lady quickly, and the old lady will be in charge of you. Don't cry, crying breaks your body, and you have no hope. Yes? ”
Lan Gu's last few words made Xiao Tao's shoulders shake, and her crying gradually lowered. Will the old lady call the shots for her? Xiao Tao raised her head, her eyes were full of confusion, she tried her best to calm down for a while, looked at the old lady and asked suspiciously: "The old lady can really call the shots?" ”
Old Madam Du frowned and didn't speak, Lan Gu hugged the messy hair on Xiao Tao's shoulder and said softly: "The old lady is the head of the family, and she cares so much about your children, of course she will call the shots." Have you forgotten that it was the old lady who repeatedly helped you keep the child that night? "Low chastity double skills.
Xiao Tao slowly stopped crying, fixed, looked closely at Mrs. Du and said word by word: "It was early in the morning that night, it was Lord Zhao Kuangyin who came in, and brought someone to pour me a bowl of medicine, child-"
"Huh?" Lan Gu snorted lightly, covered her mouth, and looked at Old Madam Du. Old Madam Du's body shook, almost unsteady on her feet, and leaned against the table. Lan Gu hurriedly got up and helped Old Madam Du up, and shouted anxiously, "Old Madam! ”
Old Madam Du waved her hand and glared at Xiao Tao: "What you said is the truth?" There is no half-sentence falsehood? ”
Xiao Tao also looked back at Mrs. Du tightly, and the words were clear: "If I have half a lie, I will not die well." ”
Mrs. Du and Xiao Tao looked at each other closely, and Lan Gu hurriedly drove out all the people waiting behind the door, and retreated herself and closed the door.
Old Madam Du looked at Xiao Tao's already angry body, but only a pair of eyes were clear and still with serious stubbornness. What she feared, it happened. She felt that the performance of Yamashita Langzhong was very different, she was full of confidence before, and she said that the family heirloom secret recipe for fetal safety, and said that the injury was not very serious, and she was already sure, why did she look helpless the next day, but she was afraid that Kuang Yin would take care of Langzhong when she went down the mountain that night. Maybe even the medicine was prepared by Na Langzhong, otherwise how could he have had time to prepare the medicine so quickly that night?
Mrs. Du's palms were tightly pinched into a handful of sweat, Kuang Yin couldn't tolerate Xiao Tao, she knew, and even planned to use Fu Xuechan to borrow a knife to kill people, but he did it himself, and even lied to her to go back but turned back, these scheming ruthlessness made her a little frightened as a mother. Although they all hated seeing this woman and the white-robed man together, Kuang Yin was able to make this move, which was really beyond her expectations. It's just that if he does this and is known by Kuang Yi, will the two brothers turn against each other for this matter? Thinking about Kuang Yi's character, she used to work hard for this slut, and Mrs. Du didn't dare to think about it. Can't let Kuang Yi know, thinking of this, Mrs. Du raised her head, but she met Xiao Tao's clear gaze, and Mrs. Du slapped her hand and slapped Xiao Tao's face.
Xiao Tao was stunned by this sudden slap, and she didn't bother to cover her face, but just looked at Mrs. Du puzzled, and her whole body trembled slightly with anger and urgency.
Mrs. Du's voice was a little gloomy: "What a bold slut! The good things he did now want to frame Kuang Yin. Let me tell you, Kuang Yin left before Yin that night, he was going to Kaifeng to prepare to go to Shu the next day, I watched him go with my own eyes, and a group of subordinates, a group of soldiers saw it. You tell such a big lie, what kind of heart do you have? ”
Xiao Tao was stunned, Zhao Kuangyin left? But that night was obviously Zhao Kuangyin, she couldn't be wrong, let alone remember. Xiao Tao bit her lip, still looking at Old Madam Du and said stubbornly: "I didn't lie!" ”
Mrs. Du's backhand was another palm, because of her impatience, this palm was heavier: "Cheap prostitute, you hooked up with the Tang people first, and you still don't forget to do things in the pure place of this temple, the incident was broken by someone, the child is not guaranteed, you are afraid that Kuang Yi will come back to blame, so you come up with this vicious excuse to protect yourself, do you still have a little shame?" ”
Seeing that Mrs. Du was angry and scolded at herself, Xiao Tao's heart was overwhelmed by these words sentence by sentence, and she didn't know where to explain, but just muttered: "I don't, it's not like this, I don't"
Mrs. Du pointed to Xiao Tao and said: "The child is gone, and you are so promiscuous, according to the family law, I don't need to wait for Kuang Yi to come back, I can dispose of you in the lake." But I, a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, can't do this. You'd better keep your mouth shut, cut off your vicious thoughts, and wait for Kuang Yi to come back and deal with it. Do you understand? ”
Xiao Tao was silent, what Mrs. Du meant, no matter how confused she was, she should understand, if she still said that Zhao Kuangyin did it, she would have a dead end. If she knows each other, she may be able to live until Zhao Kuangyi comes back. Xiao Tao bit her lip and looked at Mrs. Du for a long time, but Mrs. Du always stared at her sharply, without a trace of compromise and retreat. Xiao Tao hooked her lips helplessly and said in a low voice, "Understood." Xiao Tao was suddenly in bad condition in the middle of the night. Haven't seen anyone. ”
Old Madam Du's face softened a little, looked at Xiao Tao and said coldly: "Since you are saying this to me now, then you have to remember that you say this in front of anyone." After saying that, he turned around and walked out, but his steps were a little unsteady.
Lan Gu was outside, faintly listening to the conversation between Xiao Tao and Mrs. Du, but she couldn't hear the clue from the few words, but just bombarded the nearby people into the distance, and they were not allowed to get close to listen to a word in the house. Seeing Mrs. Du come out, Aunt Lan hurriedly stepped forward to help. Old Madam Du's voice was very cold: "Just now, her nonsense must not be passed on to anyone." ”
Lan Gu nodded. She didn't believe that Zhao Kuangyin, who had always been hearty and neat, would make such a ruthless move, but she also didn't believe that Xiao Tao, who had just experienced the pain of losing a child, would tell such a lie. Who should I believe, Lan Gu was confused.
Mrs. Du lay on the bed thinking about Xiao Tao's words, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Kuang Yi's affection for this woman is extraordinary, she is really not sure that Xiao Tao will not say that Kuang Yin did it, and she is not sure that Kuang Yi will not believe Xiao Tao. Then do you want to push the boat down the river, anyway, Xiao Tao just lost the child and was weak, and no one would doubt it if she lost the child and hemorrhage, Mrs. Du was taken aback by her own thoughts, she used to be at most a sideline, but now let her do it herself, and she still can't do it.
Mrs. Du was a little remorseful, she knew that she shouldn't have invited the old man of Anhetang in Kaifeng Mansion, so she used the medicine of the Langzhong under the mountain according to Kuang Yin's strategy, maybe now Xiao Tao is long gone. I only blamed myself for thinking about whether the child still had a glimmer of hope to keep, and missed the opportunity. Mrs. Du weighed it repeatedly, weighing the most appropriate way.
Little Peach was lying on the bed, her eyes staring straight at the beams of the roof. Things came too fast and too complicated. It turns out that people's hearts can really be so vicious, so black and white. Just because she is a Tang person, she is an official prostitute, and she is lewd. Whatever the truth is, it's all her fault, her sin. She refused to even let go of the child in her belly. And now, in order to survive, she doesn't even dare to say who wants her child's life.
Xiao Tao's tears slid down the corners of her eyes, in this way, will they give her a way to live?
Mrs. Du thought about it all night, but she was still not at ease. Keep the little peach, Kuang Yi will know the truth one day. What's more, such a lewd and chaotic woman should indeed be removed a long time ago in order to have a peaceful home. Old Madam Du made up her mind and called Lan Gu in.
