Chapter 140: She's Her Own Person (Second Watch)
As a guest, Xu Jing couldn't wait directly in the host's room.
After Mrs. Zhao Shao and the others left, Mrs. Zhao Shao's maid Yuyi took Xu Jing to the ear room next to her to wait, and brought her some hot tea and snacks, as if she was worried that Xu Jinggan would be bored when she waited, and Mrs. Zhao Shao also specially asked Yuyi to take a few miscellaneous books from their study to Xu Jing, so that she could flip through them when she was bored.
Xu Jing looked at the books of all types in front of her, and couldn't help but raise her lips in amusement.
Mrs. Zhao Shao is a warm-hearted person, although she is just a doctor who treats her, she also treats her sincerely, such a person, it is no wonder that she can ignore the so-called face of those families, accept Wang Wuniang from a small place, and be depressed because of her death, and finally boil down her body.
She casually picked out a travelogue book and was about to read it, when a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside, Xu Jing looked up, and just saw Zhao Jingming who walked to the door, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows inquiringly.
Zhao Jingming didn't go in, just stood at the door, coughed lightly, and said, "You...... You're here, do you know about inkstone? ”
Xu Jing was slightly stunned and looked at him inexplicably.
Why did Xiao Yat know that she was here?
When Zhao Jingming saw Xu Jing's expression, he knew that he had asked a stupid question, but knowing that Xu Jing was here, he always felt that he couldn't just leave her alone, so he coughed lightly and said, "Today's banquet, Yan Ci and Jingchen will come, if you are bored here, you want to go to the front for a walk, and you don't want to trouble my sister, you can find us." Well...... It's not good for us to take you around, but it's okay to send someone to take you......"
Tsk, what is he talking about!
This woman now has a lot of ideas, and before she is willing to reconcile with Yan Ci, or is willing to return to Xu Siniang's identity, they are not easy to do for her.
Xu Jing looked at him with a crazy look, couldn't help but bend his eyes, and smiled, "I know that Zhao Liulang cares about me, but it doesn't matter, I can take care of myself, Zhao Liulang will go to the banquet himself." ”
I don't know if she was influenced by Mrs. Zhao Shao, she suddenly felt that this Zhao Liulang was also very enthusiastic and cute.
As long as he is a person who is approved by him, he will treat him as his own person and treat him wholeheartedly.
Being debunked by Xu Jing's thoughts, Zhao Jingming blushed, seemed to be a little embarrassed, turned his head to the side and said: "Anyway, you remember that we are all here, you don't have to be embarrassed to stay here, if someone bullies you, come to us at any time." Yan Ci is a little busy during this time, and he may arrive late, so you look for me and Jingchen the same. ”
With that, he turned around and strode away.
After a while, Yuyi's surprised voice came from outside, "Zhao Liulang, why are you back?" ”
"Ahem, I dropped something here, come back and get it, and go."
It must have been Zhao Jingming who bumped into Yuyi, who was busy outside.
Xu Jing didn't care, smiled lowly, and lowered her head to continue reading her book.
Because of the company of books, Xu Jing's waiting time was not difficult, and soon, an hour passed, and Xu Jing had already finished reading the travelogue in his hand.
Mrs. Zhao's courtyard was in the deepest part of the mansion, so even if there were many people coming to the Song Mansion tonight, in Xu Jing's position, they could only faintly hear the noise outside, which was quite a bit of a quiet taste.
Xu Jing put down the book she had read, stretched, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake in front of her and took a bite.
She had already been mentally prepared for a long time tonight, and it would be too early for such a grand feast to end in two hours.
After eating the osmanthus cake in her hand, she took another sip of hot tea, wiped her hands, and then picked up another travelogue.
Outside, there was a sudden rush of footsteps, and Yuyi called out in surprise, "Young lady, why are you back?" ”
"Is Dr. Xu in there? I have an urgent matter to find Dr. Xu. ”
"Yes, Dr. Xu is in the second room on the right."
Xu Jing was slightly stunned, subconsciously stood up, and saw Mrs. Zhao walking in in a hurry, and when she saw Xu Jing about to salute, she hurriedly stopped: "Don't care about this kind of false courtesy, I have a reluctant request, I hope that Dr. Xu can come with me and see a doctor for someone." ”
Xu Jing frowned slightly.
So suddenly?
And looking at Mrs. Zhao's appearance, she obviously slipped out of the banquet temporarily, and couldn't help asking: "But which guest who came to the banquet was suddenly ill?" ”
Young Madam Zhao bit her lip and shook her head, "No, that person is not at the banquet." Time is running out, Dr. Xu, please come with me, I will talk to Dr. Xu as I walk. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xu Jing to respond, he turned around and walked out quickly.
Xu Jing only hesitated for a moment, then followed.
Soon, she found out that the direction that Mrs. Zhao was walking was not the front yard of the Song Mansion, but the back door!
Thinking of Mrs. Zhao Shao saying that the person who was going to see a doctor was not at the banquet, Xu Jing gradually had an idea in her heart, could it be that person, not even the Song Mansion?
Her thoughts were quickly confirmed, and she saw that Mrs. Zhao Shao led her straight out of the back door, and only a simple carriage that was not too big was parked on the quiet street where only the moonlight was shining.
Xu Jing wanted to ask something, but Mrs. Zhao Shao had already gotten into the carriage directly, she couldn't, so she could only go with her.
As soon as she sat down, the carriage began to move forward, Xu Jing looked at Mrs. Zhao Shao, who was obviously in an anxious trance on the other side, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Mrs. Zhao Shao can tell me now, who is the person you want to see?" ”
Mrs. Zhao Shao suddenly came back to her senses, glanced at Xu Jing with an apologetic expression, and said, "Doctor Xu must have felt that it was very sudden, and so did I, I didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yu's illness was so serious. ”
Xu Jing was stunned.
Mrs. Yu?
Seeing Xu Jing's confused face, Mrs. Zhao explained: "Mrs. Yu is Wang Wuniang's mother-in-law. Although I haven't talked to you about Wang Wuniang in detail, you should have heard about it. Wang Wuniang is my close friend, and I have always called her Zhenniang. Half a year ago, she, she was brutally murdered......"
When Mrs. Zhao said this, a pair of eyes quickly turned red, but she quickly cheered up and said: "After knowing the bad news of Zhen Niang, Mrs. Yu was devastated, Mrs. Yu was still pregnant at that time, because the blow was too big and she was born prematurely, fortunately, the mother and child are safe." It's just that Mrs. Yu's health has been poor since then, and three months ago, she herself asked to go to the Wang family to recuperate in a village in the suburbs.
Originally, I invited her to my son's birthday party today, but she couldn't come because of her health. Just now when I was entertaining guests, a maid beside Mrs. Yu suddenly walked in and told me that Mrs. Yu's illness had suddenly deteriorated, and she was about to die......
That day, it was because I invited Zhen Niang to go out to enjoy the snow that Zhen Niang had such an accident, Mrs. Yu would become what she is today, and I can't blame it, I know that bringing Dr. Xu over may not be able to save Mrs. Yu, but I, but I can't watch Mrs. Yu go like this......"
Xu Jing frowned slightly.
The impact of that incident on Mrs. Zhao Shao is obviously still great.
Xu Jing couldn't help but say softly: "This matter is not the fault of Mrs. Zhao Shao, it is the fault of the murderer who killed Wang Wuniang." Mrs. Zhao can rest assured, I will do my best to see Mrs. Yu. ”
Mrs. Zhao Shao's eyes were red, she nodded, and said in a dumb voice: "I'm tired of Dr. Xu." ”
After that, Mrs. Zhao didn't speak again, her head was lowered in a trance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The carriage went very fast, and when it was in the city, because the roads in the city were relatively flat, the carriage walked fairly steadily, and when it got out of the city, the carriage bumped.
I don't know if the road is too bumpy, Xu Jing suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Since coming here, her vigilance has become much stronger, and after finding that she had applied the cool oil she had brought with her, her head was still getting more and more dizzy, and she immediately noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked at Mrs. Zhao Shao opposite.
