Chapter 31: The Fall of the Body (4K5)
Wu Chanjuan looked at herself in the mirror in a daze, although she was as beautiful as a flower, she saw the words "the end of the road" on her face......
can't get married, can't break her body, even if she marries, she can't have children!
Then what does she mean in this life?!
What exactly did she do wrong?
Why did God treat her so badly?!
Wu Chanjuan lay on the dressing table without a master, whimpering and crying.
The maid outside heard it, but when she still remembered her mother, she didn't care, and she didn't make a sound.
Not long after, a mother-in-law from Old Man Wu's side came over and invited her over, "...... Second girl, the old man invited the second girl over. The young master is here. ”
The woman's voice was full of joy.
Wu Chanjuan stopped crying, looked up at herself in the mirror, and was startled.
His eyes were red and swollen, and his face was black, white, and red, all of which were traces left by the tears of Ao Dai, incense powder, and rouge.
She got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
After washing his face, he returned to the dressing table, picked up the fat powder box, and drew it again.
Her heart ached, probably because the pain was so intense that she was numb.
Drawing makeup in a trance in front of the mirror, Wu Chanjuan's mind was silent.
"Second girl, the master invited the second girl over, saying that the cousin young master is here." Wu Chanjuan's maid whispered outside.
Wu Chanjuan walked out of the back room in a daze and said, "Big cousin is here?" What do you want me to do? ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly congratulated Wu Chanjuan, "Congratulations to the second girl!" Congratulations to the second girl! The second girl's happy event is coming! ”
Wu Chanjuan sneered, "Happy event? People like me. There are happy events too?! ”
The woman blinked. I don't understand where Wu Chanjuan's evil fire came from. Obviously, she hasn't been crying and shouting these days to marry her cousin, but the mother-in-law scolded in her heart and said with a smile: "The second girl doesn't know yet, right?" Just now, the young master has personally agreed to the second girl's affair! ”
"Huh?!" Wu Chanjuan exclaimed in a low voice and covered her mouth with her hand, "Really? Big cousin...... Did the eldest cousin really allow it? ”
"It's true. The old man said it to the slave and maid himself, and asked the slave and maid to come and invite the second girl over. If the second girl doesn't believe it, she can ask the young master now. The young master is eating wine and food in the side hall. The woman said with a smile on her face.
Wu Chanjuan felt that she was alive again!
Although she has a strange poison in her body, but. There is a big cousin by her side, and a grandfather...... None of these people will leave her alone!
The eldest cousin's sister-in-law is the daughter of the Sheng family of Shennong, and Sheng Qiye can even cure the strange poison in the first emperor, and he will definitely be able to cure the poison of the empress dowager......
Thinking of the words on her mother's note, saying that it was the empress dowager who poisoned her, Wu Chanjuan felt a wave of anger in her heart.
Why did the Empress Dowager do this?
Where did she recruit her and provoke her?
In all fairness, Wu Chanjuan felt that she had always been good at flattering the Empress Dowager, and she had never offended her, so how could she make the Empress Dowager so annoyed that she secretly poisoned her? !
Should she sue her eldest cousin and grandfather and ask them to find a way for her?
Besides, the Empress Dowager is no longer in charge of the government. Or maybe they can get her revenge!
Wu Chanjuan stood up. I took a few quick steps, but after thinking about it, I immediately stopped.
If Zhou Huaili and Old Man Wu knew that she had a strange poison in her body, she couldn't give birth, couldn't marry, and couldn't have a round house, would they still stand on her side and help her?
Wu Chanjuan remembers that when her mother was alive, she often taught her that people and people will only help each other for the sake of profit. If she can't do someone good, don't expect someone else to help her......
Who else can benefit from her now?
"No...... I can't let others know about it......" Wu Chanjuan thought distraughtly, "At least, I can't let others know about it until I actually get married......"
Wu Chanjuan's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head and followed the mother-in-law to the side hall where Old Man Wu was hospitalized.
When she entered the door, she saw a table of sumptuous wine and food in the center of the room, and the strong smell of wine in the hall.
And the eldest cousin Zhou Huaili, who was already drunk, held the wine bottle with one hand and pillowed under his head with the other, and fell asleep on the table.
A slight and even snoring echoed in the room, but Wu Chanjuan was like hearing fairy music.
She walked in lightly, sat down next to Zhou Huaili, and pushed him, "Big cousin? Big cousin? ”
Zhou Huaili was motionless, drunk as if he was dying.
Wu Chanjuan called him twice, and seeing that he still didn't move, she looked at the crooked wine glasses and wine bottles on the table again, frowned, covered her nose with her sleeve and fanned it, and asked the people waiting outside: "Young Master Cousin has been drinking?" ”
The subordinate outside came in to take a look, nodded and said, "Exactly." After the old man left, the young master drank here alone, and drank two or three bottles of tribute wine. He also said: "This wine has great stamina, the master can get drunk for half a day with a drink, and the young master has drunk so much, maybe he will be drunk for two or three days......"
Wu Chanjuan was displeased, waved her hand, and let the man go down.
In the huge side hall, only Wu Chanjuan and Zhou Huaili were sitting.
However, Zhou Huaili was lying on the table, drunk, unconscious.
Wu Chanjuan sat beside him alone, supporting her hands and looking at Zhou Huaili's sleeping appearance.
After a while, she stretched out a hand, gently stroked the back of Zhou Huaili's head against her, and said softly, "Big cousin, I heard that you are willing to marry me?" I'm so happy ......"
Zhou Huaili's slight snoring echoed evenly in the room, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Wu Chanjuan leaned into Zhou Huaili's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Big cousin, I really want to marry you and be a loving couple with you." It may be noisy and noisy, but it will always be reconciled. I know my aunt doesn't like me, but don't worry, I won't mess with my aunt or you, I will serve her well and be a virtuous daughter-in-law. ”
“…… Big cousin, you know what? I just saw the note my mother left for me. When I first saw it, I was going crazy. I just want to die. But just when I was in too much pain. I heard that you promised to marry me...... I came back to life all at once. Big cousin. The Empress Dowager gave me a strange poison, I can't break my body, once I do, I will be the same as when my mother was seriously ill, I will become old and ugly. Wu Chanjuan paused, and somehow, she still concealed the fact that she was poisoned and unable to have children.
"Big cousin, if you can't touch me. Will you marry me again? I am willing to marry you, but I cannot have sex with you until the poison on me is solved. ――Will you wait for me? ”
Wu Chanjuan had just learned the big secret about herself, and it was when she was burning, she wanted to confide, but she didn't dare to tell others.
Even if it was Zhou Huaili, if he hadn't seen him drunk like this now, he wouldn't even be able to hear the gongs and drums beating in his ear, and she wouldn't dare to tell him......
Wu Chanjuan said all these words in one go, and she felt better.
She sat next to Zhou Huaili. I only feel that I have a lifelong dependence, peace and joy.
This life. The eldest cousin will definitely help her help her, and they will definitely become a fairy couple......
The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and Zhou Huaili showed no signs of waking up.
Wu Chanjuan sat quietly for a while, feeling that something was wrong, and shouted outside, "Where is grandfather? ”
The people outside went for a while, and came back and said, "The master ordered to help the young master to the guest house to rest." The second girl will go back first. ”
Wu Chanjuan replied in a daze, stood up, looked back at Zhou Huaili reluctantly, and then turned around and left.
The subordinates of the Duke of Wu came in, helped Zhou Huaili up from the wine table, carried it on his back, and sent him to the guest house.
As soon as they left the side hall, a thunderbolt of lightning struck down in mid-air, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were day, and then there was a loud bang, and a thunderclap sounded in everyone's ears.
Soon the night sky began to rain heavily.
The subordinates of the Duke of Wu sent Zhou Huaili to the guest house, and Wu Chanjuan returned to her Han Cuixuan under the escort of the subordinates.
She walked all the way, but she was still drenched in the rain from head to toe, so in order to avoid catching a cold, she went to take a hot bath again, and asked the maid to cook brown sugar ginger soup and drink a bowl of it, before going to bed.
……
The Mansion of Wu Guo was shrouded in a curtain of rain, the rain hit the banana leaves, and the sound of rattling pierced the tranquility of the night sky.
The lights gradually went out in the courtyard of the inner courtyard of the Wu Guogong Mansion, and people gradually fell asleep.
In the dark rain curtain, the subordinates who patrol the night are wearing ponchos, carrying waterproof cowhide lanterns, and beating bangs, shuttling back and forth in the inner courtyard.
Meow!
A small cat meow suddenly sounded at the man's feet.
The subordinate who was on patrol of the night stopped, and with a flower in front of him, he seemed to see a black shadow swishing past his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes with his hand, and felt that he was probably dazzled just now, there was only a rumbling rain curtain in front of him, where was there any dark shadow?
He knocked on the slam in his hand and continued walking.
In order to avoid the rain, he walked to the verandah.
Turning a corner, another dark shadow swept past him with a whoosh.
This time he felt it, and although he didn't see who it was, he could clearly feel the raindrops on the man's face as he poured.
The Night Watchman slowly raised a hand and wiped the rain that had just been splashed on his face.
What the hell is going on?
The night watchman trembled on his legs, and trembled for a while in the verandah, and was about to hurry to the steward to report it, but when he turned back, he saw that something had happened again.
In the pouring rain, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit the roof of the Mingse Courtyard in the inner courtyard of the Duke of Wu's mansion, and it actually caught fire!
"It's out of the water! Walk the water! ”
When the night watchman saw this, he suddenly forgot about the black shadows he had just seen, and hurriedly rang the gong on duty at night, as well as the gong in his hand.
Knock knock knock! Bang Bang Bang!
The loud noise woke up the masters and servants in the inner and outer courtyards of the Wu Guogong Mansion.
Old Man Wu heard these voices from his sleep, and was awakened by a thrill, and sat up angrily and said angrily: "What is the ghost called? What happened?! ”
Soon a voice from the steward outside came in a panic: "Master, it's the Mingse Courtyard that has gone out of the water!" ”
Flow? -- That's a terrible thing.
Water and fire are ruthless, and the Great Xia Dynasty is most afraid of water from top to bottom.
Old Man Wu's face was solemn and he put on his robe. Get up from the bed. Hurried to the gate. When I opened the door, it was pouring rain outside, so thick that I could barely see the figure on the other side.
"What nonsense?! It's not raining, how can you walk the water?! Old Man Wu pointed to the thick rain in front of him and scolded angrily.
The steward stretched out his arm, trembling and pointing in the direction of the Minse Courtyard, and said, "That's over there, look ......."
Old Man Wu raised his eyes and saw the flames in the direction of Mingse Courtyard in a thick rain and fog!
The rain and thunder in the sky were mixed with the skyrocketing fire. And the billowing black smoke, the situation is really weird.
Mingse Courtyard is the courtyard where Zheng Suxin and Wu Changge lived in the past.
Now that one is dead and the other has moved out, the Minseh Courtyard is empty.
Originally, it was supposed to be the second room that inherited the position of the prince of Wu Guo's mansion and lived in it, but Yin's second grandmother didn't like to live in the place where Zheng Suxin lived, and she refused to move.
Now it's okay, the fire is up, it burns cleanly, and no one has to worry about it......
Only for a moment. Old Man Wu had so many thoughts flashing through his mind.
He steadied himself and kicked the steward. "What are you still doing? Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
"Yes, sir!" The steward bent down and bowed his head in response, and hurriedly grabbed his hat and ran to find someone to put out the fire.
The houses of the Great Xia Dynasty are all made of wood, and the most feared thing is fire.
And the situation on the side of the Mingse Courtyard is a little strange, generally speaking, with such a heavy rain, there should not be such a sky-high fire, but the sky-high fire of the Mingse Courtyard can't be fake......
Old Man Wu stood at the door of his house and watched for a while, then turned around and put on a poncho, with an umbrella held by the steward and guarded by several servants, and went to the side of Mingse Courtyard.
Mingse Courtyard is the largest courtyard in the inner courtyard of Wu Guogong's Mansion, which was originally the main courtyard, but because of the large place, it is far away from other courtyards.
Therefore, the Minse Courtyard is watery, and there is no need to worry about other courtyards.
There were many people in the mansion of Wu Guogong, and the mother-in-law of the rough envoy in the inner courtyard, the steward, the servant, and the male servant in the outer courtyard all carried water to put out the fire.
It's a pity that the fire in Mingsein seems to be water-can't be extinguished at all.
Although they tried their best to rescue, it did not help.
It was only after watching the fire burn the entire Mingse Courtyard to the point that only a rubble field remained, and the fire gradually went out.
As the fire went out, there was also a gradual decrease in rain.
The night faded and the dawn arrived.
By the time the first rays of fish belly appeared on the horizon, the rain had stopped, the thunder and lightning had faded, and the wind was gone.
In the past, there were only a few wisps of black smoke left in the magnificent Mingse Courtyard, which rose in front of everyone.
Wu Changfeng and Second Grandma Yin in the second room, and Wu Changshan and Zeng San Grandma in the third room stood behind Old Man Wu in a daze, looking at the white ground here in a daze.
They had been here since last night and commanded everyone to put out the fire, but the wind and rain seemed to be able to help the fire, and they burned this huge Minse Courtyard to the ground.
……
Several big girls in Han Cuixuan anxiously walked around the door of Wu Chanjuan's bedroom, exchanged glances with each other, and said, "Let's go and ask the second girl to get up." The Mingse Courtyard burned down, and the saddest thing was the second girl. ”
Last night, there was a fire in the inner courtyard of Wu Guogong's Mansion, and it was a gong and a bangzi, which almost woke up the neighbors next to Wu Guogong's Mansion, but Wu Chanjuan did not move in the room, and it seemed that she didn't hear the sound outside at all.
Several of the maids were woken up, and they kept looking around, staring at the situation on the other side of the Minse.
Wu Chanjuan didn't get up and ask a question from beginning to end.
"Second girl, last night Mingse Courtyard went out of the water, the second girl wasn't scared, right?" Wu Chanjuan's eldest maid knocked on the door of the bedroom and asked loudly.
It was still quiet inside, and there was no movement.
“…… Second girl, what's wrong? ”
The maids whispered, you look at me, I look at you, and finally decided to go in and have a look.
Wu Chanjuan's eldest maid pushed open the door of the bedroom, bypassed the jade screen in the middle of the bedroom, came to Wu Chanjuan's bed, and said softly: "Second girl, Mingseyuan went out of the water last night. The second girl wants to take a look? He added: "It's been saved, the second girl doesn't need to worry." ”
Hearing that there was still no movement in the tent, the big girl was anxious.
"Second girl!" The big girl opened the bed curtain with a sigh, and when she saw the situation in the bed, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise!
I saw Wu Chanjuan lying upright on the bed, her eyes closed, holding a dagger in one hand, which was stuck in her chest!
"Ahh Two girls! The big girl rushed out with a rolling belt, and exclaimed to the people outside, "Second girl...... The second girl committed suicide! ”
