Chapter 47: Apology

The mother and daughter tidied up their appearance, brought some pastries, and Zhang Wanqing personally held them to visit Layue.

When I entered the door, I saw Layue changing gauze, and Mama Chang next to her was dipping ointment in ointment and gently smearing the scabbed wound.

The black-purple dry wrinkled skin of the scab and the white flesh of the scab that had fallen off were alternately disgusting. Zhang Wanqing's stomach churned when she saw it, but she still frowned and resisted the urge to vomit.

I heard Layue say, "Mama, is this daring to be good?" The flesh here on my knees is itchy, and I just want to scratch it. ”

"Isn't it? You see that two more blood scars have fallen today, and the tender flesh inside is itchy and itchy, so don't scratch it. ”

"Sister-in-law." Zhang Wanqing shouted crisply, and the mother and daughter entered the door together.

Layue's face sank, and she stopped her action of applying ointment, "Is there something wrong with my sister and mother?" The tone and expression are very unkind, with the determination of the jade broken tiles.

She thought that the two of them were here to talk to her about bargaining chips, but she didn't expect that these two people were here to make amends, although Zhang Wanqing was saying words of apology, but her mother-in-law could accompany her, so she naturally brought this meaning, but it was not easy to say it in person as an elder.

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, it's my fault." Zhang Wanqing held the pastry and put it on the small table next to her, with a smile on her face, "I'm here to apologize to my sister-in-law, this is the tea cake I personally made with people, red bean paste filling, your favorite food." She said as she picked up a small piece of handkerchief and handed it over affectionately, "Sister-in-law, you can taste it." ”

Layue sneered and looked at the pastry in Zhang Wanqing's hand, "I dare to eat something made of red beans in my sister's hand?" The lessons of red bean soup are not far away, and I haven't forgotten the lesson. ”

As the saying goes, scolding doesn't expose shortcomings, and hitting people doesn't slap their faces. Layue's words can be said to be poking at the sore spot and revealing the scar.

Zhang Wanqing's face turned red, she bit her lip tightly, her face was pale, and her face was about to attack with anger.

The mother-in-law coughed, "Wanqing, you go and sit next to you,"

Zhang Wanqing looked at her mother, and reluctantly stepped aside and sat down.

"Mama Chang, you step aside, Layue and I have a few words to say."

Mama Chang replied with a smile, "Mrs. Tai, the young lady has smeared this medicine well, staring at it with her eyes, and then wipe it again when it is almost absorbed, and apply it three times in total to wrap gauze, can the old slave ......?"

"Stand down!" When the mother-in-law saw that this old man dared to disobey her orders, she angrily scolded and said angrily, "Doesn't she have long eyes? Besides, there is Wanqing, who will wait to apply ointment to her later. ”

Layue nodded, and Mama Chang retreated.

"What the hell is going on? The next person is out, you don't have to make a show, just say it. Layue leaned on the corner of the table with a hand that did not raise her head and said.

The mother-in-law thought about it, but she still couldn't smile in the face of this woman, and condescending to visit was already her maximum compromise.

She said in a hard tone, "What the hell is going on with the medicine you are talking about?" I asked Wanqing, she didn't do it, and neither did I. ”

Layue snorted, and then she glanced at her mother-in-law, "Does this mean, that doctor has an enmity with me?" I don't even know each other, but the doctor is my mother's old doctor, right? ”

This is a clear disbelief.

"We really didn't do it." The mother-in-law was a little annoyed, and the whole person became impatient, "Layue, Wanqing and I may dare to give you that kind of medicine to clear your name so that you can take the opportunity to rectify you, but this kind of direct murder and life is going to be punished by a lawsuit and going to prison, do we put ourselves in it in order to harm you?" We're not that bad yet! ”

Layue sneered.

The mother-in-law's face was a little unbearable, "Okay, even if we are so bad, it's not so bold." Think about it yourself, someone died suddenly, but if someone in your shop goes to the yamen to sue the official, it can be found out at once, and we can have a good time when the time comes? No matter how stupid we are, we can't do this."

Layue looked at the color of the golden phoenix dyed on her fingernails, and listened impatiently to what her mother-in-law said, "Mother said so much, is she afraid that I won't take Wanqing to the Shi family in the future?" Or are you afraid that I will tell me about her and Wang Lao Xian'er? ”

Mother-in-law's face was ugly as if she had been soaked in sauerkraut water for two days, Zhang Wanqing stood up angrily pinching the corner of the table, "Sister-in-law, don't bully people too much!" What's in it for you if my reputation is ruined? What's in it for our family! ”

"It's no good." Layue smiled, "But my life is almost gone, do you still care about your reputation?" What do you care about the reputation of the Zhang family? Why didn't you think I had a bad reputation when you drugged me? ”

"What do you want me to say? We really didn't do it! ”

Layue sneered and ignored them anymore, looked down to see that the ointment on her leg had been absorbed, opened the porcelain box and glanced at her mother-in-law and said, "Mama Chang waited for me to apply medicine, didn't my mother say that there was a night to serve?" ”

Zhang Wanqing's face instantly turned purple into pig liver, and she looked at her mother with shame and reluctance.

The mother-in-law gritted her teeth so loudly that she couldn't have imagined that this cheap woman would really dare to let her daughter serve her.

But, here and there. Only by enduring the bitterness can you become a master.

Who told this woman to hold her daughter's handle in her hands, and who told herself to ask for help?

"Evening sunshine!" There was a huge anger hidden in her voice, and she shouted, "Don't go and drug your sister-in-law yet!" ”

"Mother!" Zhang Wanqing screamed aggrievedly.

"Go!"

Unwilling! Unwilling! Unwilling!

"Yes, my daughter knows." She moved to Layue's side step by step, half-squatted down and picked up a white ointment with a jade skewer, looked at the disgusting ugly scar, shook her hands and slowly applied it, and then gently pushed it away with the round head at the other end of the jade skewer.

The nausea in my stomach could no longer be suppressed.

Just after applying it twice, Zhang Wanqing ran out of the door with her mouth covered, holding on to the pillar under the eaves of the porch and vomiting wildly.

Layue in the vomiting room frowned and became nauseous, thinking: Is it really so disgusting? Could it be that you don't dislike the wounds on your body?

She took the jade skewer and pushed the ointment herself, "Forget it, I'll get it myself." ”

"How are you going to believe we're not drugged?" Mother-in-law asked.

"Mother's words are interesting, you have so many means, when your daughter-in-law first entered the door, didn't you force Layue to make a poisonous oath with my dead father and give up any previous improper habits?"

She put down the jade skewer and gently fanned the freshly applied ointment with her hand, "My daughter-in-law was scared at the time, and it would be advisable to think of this method." ”

"You want me to swear!" The mother-in-law couldn't believe it.

Layue sighed and corrected leisurely, "It's a poisonous oath." ”

The mother-in-law's eyes narrowed dangerously, her hands tore the handkerchief in her hand, and her face was as hideous as a ghost.

The room was eerily quiet for a while.

After a while, she finally gritted her teeth, raised the three fingers of her right hand, and said word by word, "I, Zhang You, face the Emperor Tianhou Tu, and swear with the peace of my ancestors that if I poisoned her in her medicine during the time when Xing Layue had a fever, I want my father and mother to have no peace underground, and I will be helpless when I am old, and my children will not be supported or worshipped, and my corpse will be exposed to the wilderness after death!" ”
