Chapter Ninety-Seven: Trouble and Chaos (3)
After the confused reminder, Qing Rang went to open the door, and the general subordinates did not dare to come to the lotus house without permission, sure enough, Yu Shan was dressed in crimson, and she was about to walk to the door with a huffing look, looking at Qing Rang's appearance with resentment, she was followed by Aunt Juan, pulling with a worried face, but she never stopped Yu Shan.
"Yushan......" Qing Rang stepped forward to comfort her, she guessed that her father must have asked Sister-in-law Li to get pastries to make her unhappy.
"You go away, it's all someone else's family, and you're still coming back to do what you're going to do!"
"How are you talking to your sister!" Duanmu Anrui stood at the door and scolded angrily, "She is married, and she is also your second sister, and she is also a member of our Duanmu family!" ”
Yushan was not frightened this time, but the unwillingness in her heart became even stronger, "Yes, she is the young lady of the Duanmu family, the daughter of her father, and I have always been an outsider." ”
"Yushan, how can you say that, my father has always loved us the same."
Yushan glanced at Qingrang, "Is it the same?" Then why did you just send the things in my room, as soon as you came back, you asked Sister-in-law Li to go back, who in the house doesn't know that Dad is biased towards you, Hua Shu is a righteous miss, even if you are a concubine, but there is still a father holding you in the palm of your hand, only me, only I am an outsider who is inferior to others! ”
"When did I treat you badly!" Duanmu Anrui was angry, and pointed at Yushan angrily, Aunt Juan was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "Master, Yushan is still young and ignorant, don't be angry, master......"
"Mother, why do you beg him, they are all concubines, why can Aunt Qing live in such a big yard by herself, why don't she let others come when she dies, but she is just a concubine!" Yu Shan was angry with her mother's cowardice, and picked up the stones beside her and smashed them into the lotus pond.
Qing Rang stopped her when he saw this, "Have you made enough trouble, where do you look like a young lady!" ”
"Why do you discipline me, you are just an aunt like your mother, the most humble concubine!"
"You bastard......" Duanmu Anrui listened to Yushan's words, his heart swelled with anger, and a mouthful of blood spit on the ground, everyone's faces changed in fright, and Qing Rang hurriedly supported him, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”
Aunt Juan was frightened on the side and didn't know what to do, Yushan was stunned, Duanmu Anrui was dizzy, and her body lay straight down, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and find a doctor!" ”
"I'm going to ...... now" Aunt Juan hurriedly ran out, fainting with the old man in her mouth as she ran.
Qing Rang looked at the dark blood on the ground, his heart was cold, and there was a guess in his mind, "Yushan, go find Sister-in-law Li and get back those pastries that you want to throw!" ”
Yushan was still stunned, she looked at the blood on the ground, although she was angry in her heart, her father vomited blood, Qingrang roared again, "Go quickly!" ”
"I'll go!"
Confused helped Qing Rang to carry Duanmu Anrui into the house, a handkerchief fell from Duanmu Anrui's body, Qing Rang picked it up, and found that there was a large piece of blood on it, dark red.
"Confused, help me find the best doctor." She knew that Yu Zichen must have such a talent under his hands, and now she knows why her eldest brother asked her to return to Linsu, she was almost deceived by his father, she doesn't understand medical skills, but she also understands what such a color of blood represents, "Remember, I want to be a master of detoxification." ”
When Duanmu Anrui woke up, it was already the middle of the night, he opened his eyes and looked at the lights in the room, in the dim light, he vaguely saw the face that would only be seen in a dream, "Chu Qing......"
"Dad, are you awake?" Qing Rang hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed, only to hear his father call a name, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, who are you calling?" ”
Duanmu Anrui slowly got up, "Chu Qing, your mother's maiden name." I thought I saw your mother, it seems that I am old and confused. ”
"Dad, you're not an old fool, you're sick, and the doctor came here and said you need to recuperate."
Duanmu Anrui held back a glance at the things on the table not far away, there were medicinal materials and medical skills, he took his daughter's hand, "Qingrang, don't bother about me, I know my body, don't feel sad, in fact, I am very happy in my heart, and it is also a blessing to be able to accompany your mother." ”
"Dad, don't talk nonsense!" Qingrang bit his lip, "Mother asked you to take good care of me, if you ignore me now, Mother will be angry." ”
Duanmu Qingrang couldn't help but start coughing again, the hand covering his mouth was bloody again, Qingrang took a towel to wipe it for his father, and the tears couldn't stop dripping down, she didn't want to cry, even if the doctor said that his father had been poisoned, she told herself that there was a way.
"Qing'er, Dad has actually lived enough, the ups and downs of this life are too tiring, it would be good if it could end earlier, so you don't have to be too sad."
"Dad, don't say it, I'll go to Hua Xin'an, he must have an antidote."
Duanmu grabbed his daughter's hand tightly, "Don't go!" It wasn't his poison! ”
"Dad, it's a long time since you still lied to me, I found someone to test the pastry sent by Hua Shu, although it is not poisonous, but if you are not afraid that there is something wrong with the pastry, why do you have to ask Sister-in-law Li to ask Yushan to come back!"
Duanmu Anrui sighed, "Qingrang, the poison in me is the same as the Queen Mother's, and it is not about the eldest prince." ”
"Is it the prince who poisoned him? When? ”
"When I was confined by him in the East Palace, he had already dealt with my diet, much less than the dose of the Queen Mother, so it has been delayed until today, your eldest brother also knew about this matter and killed him, I want to lose Hua Shu's pastry because the eldest prince wants me to exchange the Duanmu family property for your brother's life, and my revenge for your eldest brother has been avenged."
"That brute, even his own uncle won't let go!" Qing Rang's reddish eyes were full of tears, this was how his father saved his eldest brother, she suddenly hated herself, and she couldn't help them with anything at this time, "Dad, even if the prince is dead and there is no antidote, I will definitely find the antidote for you." ”
"Okay, dad believes in my daughter," Duanmu Anrui knew in his heart that he was terminally ill, but he still hoped to comfort his daughter, "Accompany me to the mountain hut tomorrow, by the way, do you have the golden hairpin left by your mother with you?" ”
"I'll leave it with my eldest brother, and I'll ask him to return it to me the next time I see him."
Duanmu Anrui probably understood why his daughter did this, "You go and rest first, I'm also tired, and sleep for a while." ”
"Well," Qing asked Duanmu Anrui to lie down, covering the quilt for him, seeing that he seemed to have fallen asleep, she walked out of the house lightly, but she couldn't help but look back again and again, seeing that her father was sleeping steadily, she would be uneasy.
Yushan has been kneeling in the courtyard outside the house, and Qingrang stepped forward to help her, but she didn't get up.
"Dad woke up and slept again, you go back first, don't blame yourself too much, Dad didn't fall ill because of you."
Yu Shan's legs were already numb from kneeling, Qing Rang helped her, Yu Shan has been silent, she has been silent since Duanmu vomited blood.
"Yushan," Qing Rang wrapped around his sister who was limping out, "I remember when you were seven years old, you had chickenpox, and the eldest lady wanted to send you out of the house, but Dad was maybe, he said how could his daughter be sent outside when she was sick, and your father was with you for a few days when she had a high fever." ”
"I remember......" Yushan choked up, her voice soft.
"Also, I'm sorry, I know that you have always been unhappy that your father hurts me more, but in his heart you are also her daughter, like me, like Hua Shu, my mother died early, so he loves me more, but this doesn't mean that he loves you less."
"I know, I'm just jealous of you, jealous that you're smarter and better than me, because I can't compare to you, so I just want to vent my anger on my father, but I really don't want to make him angry......"
"I'm not better than you, you have your beauty, Yushan, it's not because of you that Dad is sick, don't blame yourself......"
Yushan didn't say anything more, she walked out of the lotus house step by step with her numb legs. Qing Rang was the only one left in the huge courtyard, she sat on the edge of the lotus pond, looked at the bright moon reflected in Chizhou, and muttered to herself, "Mother, I know you must miss your father very much, maybe you can't let your father accompany me for a few more years?" ”
That night, Qing Rang sat by the lotus pond all night, and the next morning, she wiped the tears from her face, forced herself to laugh and went into the house to call her father to get up, but found that his father had already changed his clothes, the clothes made by her mother's own hands, and the sleeves were not of ordinary length.
It's just that his father didn't stand there with his arms outstretched and call her name affectionately like when he was a child, but lay there very peacefully, with his hands folded on his belly, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had some kind of sweet dream.
"Daddy?" Kiyorang called softly.
"Daddy......" Qing Rang called again, "Don't tease me, I'll go to the hut together." ”
On the bed, the man didn't seem to hear anything, he lay there peacefully, the window was blown open by the wind, the hair caressed Qingrang's cheeks, her legs fell to the ground with a loss of strength, and a hysterical "Daddy......"
But this time, the man who remembered the majesty of the sky did not come to help her up as soon as he did before, nor did he hold her in his arms as before and ask her if she had any pain.
"Second Miss, Second Miss, no, something happened to the eldest young master!" Steward Zhang had never been so flustered as he was today, so much so that he didn't stop shouting when he entered the Lotus Residence, and the entire Duanmu Mansion knew that something had happened to the eldest young master.
Duanmu Qingrang stood in the lotus house that day, inside the house was her father's bones that were not cold, outside the house was the housekeeper who cried bitterly for his eldest brother being beheaded, she slowly got up, walked a few steps and fell down heavily, that day she only felt that the sky had lost most of it, and then how everyone found out that Duanmu Anrui had passed away She had no impression, that day the eldest lady cried and pulled her She couldn't see it, that day Linsu Duanmu's house suddenly became a mourning house, and the white silk became the only decoration in Linsu.
Just when the second miss of Linsu was stupid, there was a person standing in front of her, she laughed and cried for a while, others looked like crazy, she only said one sentence, "Big brother, what should I do, my father is gone......"
Dad, the eldest brother is really back, what about you?
