Chapter 21: Apprehension
The night is like water, and the coolness hits people.
Before the palace gate was keyed, the county lord of Ancheng finally returned home.
Mother Qian came up and hurriedly said: "The county lord is back, the county lord heard the rumors outside, cried heartbreakingly, fainted, woke up before dinner, still a little excited, and killed a servant by mistake......"
The county lord of Ancheng looked at him coldly, because he had been reprimanded by the Queen Mother for a while, he had saved a belly of fire, and said in an impatient tone: "If you are killed, you will be killed, just pay some funeral expenses, what is worth mentioning about this kind of trivial matter." β
Mother Qian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." β
The county lord of Ancheng has not eaten yet, and he is hungry, but he can't eat anything. For the sake of the Ruyi County Lord, not only did the Queen Mother reprimand, but even His Majesty beat her one or two, telling her to take care of her daughter, and not to make any more trouble and embarrass the clan.
The county lord of Ancheng is used to being high, and he can't remember how many years he hasn't been blamed like that, and even those concubines dare to come to see her jokes!
It's hateful!
"That's it, I'll go see Ruyi first." The county lord of Ancheng sighed, thinking of his daughter's pain now, his anger also turned into nothing, and he was only full of exhaustion.
It's a pity that the county lord of Ancheng feels sorry for his daughter, but her daughter doesn't necessarily understand her.
In the Liuzhen Pavilion, all the servants were driven out, and they stood under the porch one by one, not daring to go away.
The lord of An Cheng pushed the door in, and before he could say a word, he was startled by the bowl smashed at his feet.
The dwelling was pitch black, with no fingers to be seen, only a thin moonlight shining from the half-open window.
The county lord of Ruyi sat on the edge of the bed, dressed in single clothes and with a cloak and hair, like a female ghost seeking her life.
She stared straight at the county lord of Ancheng, the gaze was terrifying, and the county lord of Ancheng couldn't help but shudder, but she was quickly suppressed by her mother's love.
"Ruyi...... Why don't you light the lights? It's cold at night, how can you just wear such clothes? β
The county lord of Ancheng is always gentle and patient in front of his daughter, even if the county lord of Ruyi doesn't say a word, she only has worry and distress in her heart.
The Ruyi County Lord said in a cold tone, "What are you doing here?" Is it to clean up the portal and make room for Qin Candle? β
The county lord of Ancheng took the red fox on the small couch and was about to put it on for the county lord of Ruyi, but before he could get close, he was nailed to the spot by her words.
The county lord of Ancheng looked sad and tired, "Why do you always refuse to believe A-Niang?" Ah Niang thinks about everything for you. Ruyi, when will you be sensible? β
"Hah!"
The county lord of Ruyi stared at her viciously and mocked: "You can't pretend to be able to do it, can you?" Keep thinking about me, if you really think about me, you won't let Qin Candle become Princess Mingshi's companion! β
"Growing up, you never said that I should be sensible, you told me that I only need peace and joy, and you can do anything for me. But now? Since you want a sensible daughter so much, why didn't you bring Qin Zhu back earlier? Why don't you just strangle me! Give her my county lord title! β
The county lord of Ruyi's eyes were scarlet, clasped on the edge of the bed, his nails were broken, and his flesh and blood were blurred.
Her eyes were full of hatred, and she roared word by word: "You have been lying to me all along!" You've been lying to me all along!! β
She has long since become an outcast.
From the day she got sick, she had been abandoned!
The county lord of Ruyi said: "It's me, it's me who cut off all Qin Candle's clothes, it's me who asked Luo Yumin to poison her, I want her to be embarrassed, I want her to die in the paddock!" You'd better kill me now, or I'm not going to make it easy for you mother and daughterβah! β
Lord Ancheng gave her a slap in the face.
This is the first time that the county lord of Ruyi has been beaten, and he still keeps saying that he only loves her mother's hand.
She laughed, tears streaming down her face, and her voice hoarse.
"Beat me, beat me! Call Qin Candle over and watch you take out your anger for her! You fight! β
Lord An Cheng looked at her, wiped away the tears on his face, and said calmly: "Why do you think I brought Qin Zhu from the countryside?" β
"I'm doing this for you! For your illness! β
The county lord of Ancheng couldn't bear it any longer, and the secrets that had been hidden in his heart for a long time poured out like a flood and were out of control!
She approached step by step, and the county lord of Ruyi thought that she was really going to kill her, and panic appeared in her eyes.
"You have such a strange illness, there is no doctor in the medicine stone, I don't dare to ask the imperial doctor in the palace to come over, for fear that this matter will leak out! What will you do for the rest of your life! Even the first Lang Zhong who saw you that day was asked by me to deal with it. β
The county lord of An Cheng said coldly: "Do you think that I really have such a kind heart to take Qin Zhu back to enjoy the blessings?" If it weren't for you, in order to pave the way and cure you, I wouldn't have asked more if she died in the countryside! It's good for you, you not only doubt A-Niang's sincerity, but also attack Qin Candle three times and twice, which is a good thing for me! Do you still want this life?! β
Bang.
Thunder appeared in the sky, and there seemed to be spring rain rolling and dripping like beads.
Most of the movement in the house was covered by the falling rain, and it was quiet for a while.
The county lord of Ruyi was stunned, and it took a long time to find his voice, shaking his head and not believing it, "No...... It's not true, what does my illness have to do with Qin Candle? Can she still cure me? β
Lord An Cheng said sharply: "She can't, but her heart's blood can!" β
The county lord of Ancheng did not dare to invite Lang Zhong again, lest this matter leak out, the county lord of Ruyi did not say that he would marry the Jiujiang Xi family, even ordinary people were unwilling to want her!
She secretly found a Taoist priest in the rivers and lakes, and the man looked unremarkable, but said that the lord of Ruyi County was not suffering from an ordinary disease, but more like being haunted by evil curses. I am afraid that if one of the parents does too many evil things, the retribution will be on the children.
Of course, the Taoist priest still had half a sentence left before he dared to say it.
"This person has thousands of instructions, and Qin Zhu must be willing to pay his heart and blood before he can use medicine to relieve the curse."
Speaking of which, the county lord of Ancheng really can't wait to slap the county lord of Ruyi again.
But looking at her daughter's tearful face and desperate and helpless face, she was only distressed, and even regretted before she moved.
This can't be blamed on Ruyi, she should have told her all this if she knew it was so.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner and confess it all now?" The county lord of Ruyi could no longer fully trust her mother, and the pain in her fingernails seemed to spread to her whole body, and she panicked and began to breathe heavily.
A voice in her heart told her.
This may be true.
So what did she do?
The county lord of Ruyi grabbed the robe of the county lord of Ancheng tightly, threw himself into her arms, and cried: "A-Niang, why didn't you tell me earlier, then what should I do next?" IβAm I hopeless? Qin Candle, that little slut, she definitely won't be willing to pay! She'll just want me dead! I'm dead, and it's all hers! β
