Chapter 127: Offering to divorce his wife
There was also a doctor behind him, and the old lady walked past Jiang Chao to Xia Hanmo's side without saying a word, and said to the doctor: "Hurry up and show her, my poor child, why did you come to send a snack like this?" ”
The doctor didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly checked Xia Hanmo's pulse, and dealt with the wound on her forehead again, before sighing and said: "It's just a skin trauma on the forehead, it's not a big deal, but I don't know if it will leave sequelae if it hits the head, hey......"
When the old lady heard this, she was even more heartbroken, and begged the doctor: "You must take a closer look, she is only eighteen years old, the age of a flower, how can she leave the root of the disease!" ”
Jiang Wanxiu also hurried over, looked at Xia Hanmo's appearance, and said sadly: "Aunt cousin, don't have an accident, you are such a good person, you will definitely be fine!" ”
The doctor checked Xia Hanmo's pulse again, and then said: "There is nothing abnormal about the pulse now, I just hope that she wakes up, if everything is normal, it will be okay to come, just drink a few more doses of medicine!" ”
"Okay, then there's Doctor Lao, Steward Li, you send the doctor!" The old lady commanded, what she was going to say next was not suitable for outsiders to listen to.
As soon as the idle people left, the old lady turned to look at Jiang Chao angrily and asked, "It's just to send you a snack, why did it become like this, if I hadn't heard that you asked for a doctor, I wouldn't have known that something happened to Mo'er, she was already pitiful enough, living tremblingly in Jiang's mansion, do you want to force her to death?" ”
When Jiang Chao heard this, the anger that had just been extinguished rose again, walked up to Su Lan, slapped him, and scolded: "It's all you, a jealous woman, talking nonsense!" ”
Su Lan was stunned by a slap, looking at Jiang Chao who seemed to be a little unable to react, her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't even say a word for a long time, looking at the old lady and Jiang Wanxiu looking at each other coldly, she understood what was happening.
Su Lan covered her fiery face and looked at Jiang Chao with teary eyes, but she kept persuading herself in her heart to calm down and not to be fooled, but looking at Jiang Wanxiu's faintly mocking eyes, she felt as uncomfortable as a fire in her heart.
Seeing this, Mama Song hurriedly knelt next to Su Lan and begged: "Master, don't be annoyed with Madame, she is all unintentional, everything is because the second lady is the master in her heart, so she will be dizzy for a while and say those unintentional words, you have to believe that the second lady is sincere to you!" ”
Jiang Chao saw that half of Su Lan's face was red and swollen, but he was holding back tears and enduring, and he suddenly regretted it a little in his heart, after all, he was a husband and wife for more than ten years, and he had true feelings for Su Lan.
Su Lan saw that Jiang Chao's eyes were a little loose, so she knew that her opportunity had come, she bit her lip lightly, held her eyes, and said with a sad face: "Husband, if you are really annoyed by the concubine, you will divorce me!" The child in the womb will be raised in the belly, anyway, for the concubine, if you lose the heart of the husband, it is better to live than to die, rather than so, the concubine wishes that the husband can get another beauty, and the beauty of harmony, I only hope that Miss Table can treat my child sincerely and treat it as her own! ”
Su Lan said that she was going to bow down, and the expression of her heart was very good, which made Jiang Chao, who was originally twelve points angry, panic all of a sudden.
He hurriedly wanted to help Su Lan, but Jiang Wanxiu took the lead and held Su Lan up, only to hear her still a little immature voice, with full distress, persuaded:
"Mother, why do you do this? Wouldn't it hurt my father's heart to say such things? You are a husband and wife, and you gave birth to a sister for your father, and now you are still pregnant, how could your father divorce you, don't say that your father refuses, and we as children also refuse, otherwise your father will inevitably be scolded if it is spread out, saying that your father abandoned his old concubine for no reason, regardless of his flesh and blood, for his father, his career will be ruined, and you must not want this, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Lan was almost vomiting blood, and Jiang Wanxiu, who accused her openly and secretly, must have made Jiang Chao think that she was deliberately persecuted, unwilling to let him take a concubine, and she had to bear the charge of driving a pregnant woman out of the house, which was simply contrary to her original intention.
Sure enough, Jiang Chao listened to Jiang Wanxiu's words, his eyes became a little colder, looking at Su Lan's pitiful appearance, he no longer had the pity just now, he only felt that she was scheming, and even wanted to calculate.
Then he said in a cold voice: "What Wan Xiu said is reasonable, for such a trivial matter, you want me to divorce you, isn't that to trap me in injustice?" Are you jealous, are you trying to force me? ”
Su Lan shook her head, although she hated it very much, she had to deny it: "Husband, the concubine has never thought of persecuting you, Miss Biao is a good girl, if you really like her, how can I not understand you as a concubine, I am just afraid that Miss Cousin will be angry and wronged her." ”
What she said can be described as sincere, if the people present don't know the second lady, I'm afraid they will really be moved by her, but Bai Jiang Wanxiu was not moved, and the person who was moved was Jiang Chao.
didn't give Su Lan a chance to turn around, Jiang Wanxiu said at the right time:
"The second aunt is really virtuous and virtuous, which makes Wanxiu admire, but the second aunt is just a concubine, my mother is the wife of Jiang Mansion, and my mother doesn't worry about it, how can the second aunt be offside?"
The old lady was silent on the side, but her eyes showed her approval for Jiang Wanxiu, she was really a smart child, and she forced Su Lan into a dilemma and had no way out in just a few words.
Su Lan's heart turned a thousand times, and she couldn't wait for a few more brains to come up with how to break the trap set by Jiang Wanxiu for her, so she looked up for a long time, looked at Jiang Chao gently, and said: "Husband, it's all up to you, it's just that Miss Biao is injured now, it's better to wait for her to wake up, you and Mrs. will think about it in the long run, and no matter how you say this, you have to nod from the girl, otherwise wouldn't it mean that our Jiang Mansion is oppressive with power?" ”
Jiang Chao also felt justified when he heard it, but he didn't know that this was Su Lan's delaying plan, and he was about to speak, but Jiang Wanxiu took the lead, seeing her looking at Su Lan with a smile on her face, she said lightly:
"No matter what kind of mind my cousin thinks, only she knows, my grandmother and my mother will naturally ask clearly, the second aunt doesn't have to worry too much, my sister is far away in the family temple, you have to take care of your own body."
Hearing this, Su Lan's face changed again and again, and the fists in her sleeves were clenched tightly together, this Jiang Wanxiu talked about being a concubine from time to time, and constantly humiliated her, this revenge must be avenged.
Thinking of this, she bit her lip lightly, knelt at Jiang Chao's feet, and cried softly: "The concubine is just worried about the master, there is nothing else to think, who would want to make such a fuss, it is the concubine's fault." ”
When the words fell, she wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, she understood that she could only show weakness at this time, and maybe she would leave a feeling of guilt for her in Jiang Chao's heart.
Jiang Chao listened to Su Lan's words, sighed heavily, and gently helped Su Lan up, shaking his head at her, full of helplessness.
Before Su Lan could speak, Jiang Chao went to the soft couch to look at the sleeping Xia Hanmo, with a look of affection on his face, that deep and meaningful look made Su Lan's heart wrinkled, painful and astringent, this man, who used to belong to her alone, now wants to go out in half of his life, doesn't it break her heart?
Jiang Chao gently shook Xia Hanmo's hand, but saw her wake up slowly, open her misty eyes, and look ignorant.
Jiang Chao hurriedly asked, "Mo'er, how are you?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”
Xia Hanmo frowned and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with me?" My head hurts......"
The old lady saw her like this, and said distressedly: "Silly boy, why are you so fierce, you don't even care about your life, if you go like this, won't it make me sad?" ”
Xia Hanmo glanced at the old lady apologetically, and said in a sad voice: "Auntie, I'm sorry, Mo'er is too reckless, let you worry, it's really unfilial!" ”
"Okay, okay, it's okay if people are okay, it's okay if it's okay!" The old lady patted her hand and said with great joy.
Xia Hanmo glanced at Jiang Chao, his eyes were a little evasive, painful and hurtful, which made people feel pity, Jiang Chao was the most pitiful person, how could he be indifferent? hurriedly said: "Mo'er, you're okay, it's really good, you really scared me to death just now!" ”
Xia Hanmo withdrew her hand and said with a little timidity: "Cousin, please don't say such things again, lest the second lady misunderstand me again, I will definitely stay away from my cousin in the future, and I won't dare to get close to it, so as not to embarrass my cousin!" ”
"What are you talking about, Mo'er, I know your mind, it must be the same as me, in front of your mother today, can you accept me and marry me?"
Jiang Chao couldn't wait to say, for fear that he would really miss Xia Hanmo a little later, and let her stay away from him.
Xia Hanmo looked at him in surprise, and looked at Su Lan, who was silent behind him, as if he was worried, before he said, "Is my cousin going to be a concubine?" I know I'm a low-status orphan girl, but ...... But ......"
"Fool, since you and I are all in agreement, even my mother agrees, the eldest lady Xiyue will definitely not say anything, it doesn't matter what others think, now I just ask you if you are willing?"
Jiang Chao didn't wait for her to finish, and hurriedly explained clearly.
Su Lan was behind her, her heart tightened, and she couldn't wait to pounce on her now to stop everything from happening, but Mama Song grabbed her to the death, didn't let her move, and reminded her with her eyes that she couldn't do anything, she could only watch Jiang Chao and Xia Hanmo have a relationship.
The old lady slowly spoke at this time, and said: "Mo'er, don't say anything about lowly status, you call me aunt, I am your maiden family, although you are in the middle of the road, but you are also a scholarly family, the daughter of the Xia family, why not be a concubine?" What's more, your reputation is also affected by Chao'er, if you don't marry him, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to find a good family in the future, so it is reasonable for him to give you a name! ”
When she spoke, her eyes still glanced at Su Lan, who had a painful face, as if she was telling her, which made Su Lan's face turn white suddenly, she was so stupid that she fell for them.
If she hadn't come to make trouble today, Xia Hanmo might not have stayed in the mansion, but ...... She helped her become Jiang Chao's concubine alive, giving this justifiable opportunity.
She turned around and glanced at Jiang Wanxiu, who was silent on the side, as calm as water, this matter was absolutely inseparable from her.
If she hadn't made trouble, Jiang Chao would definitely not marry Xia Hanmo against her will, he would have pity for her as in the past, and then put Xia Hanmo aside, and after today, she could think of countless ways to get rid of Xia Hanmo, but she appeared, didn't give herself any chance to retreat, and pushed herself into the trap step by step.
