Chapter 19: A Moment of Relentingness
She didn't speak, Wei Dongshu's face became more and more pale, Aunt Yu hurriedly grabbed Yuan Jie, and said to Wei Dongshu in a panic: "Master, you can't fight anymore, if you fight again, you will become an enemy." ”
"Kill it!" Wei Dongshu squeezed out a few words in a low voice.
"You beat, you fight, you kill me!" Yuan Jie suddenly roared out viciously, and the vicious look floating out of his eyes was like a sharp sword piercing Wei Dongshu's heart. Yuan Jie cried out: "You all favor her, just because I am a concubine, you all look down on me." She is all responsible for today's incident, and you still blame me! She is everywhere saying that I like to take advantage, so that everyone in the house is laughing at me in private, and you are satisfied!"
Wei Dongshu opened his mouth in shock, speechless, my God, such a person is actually his own daughter?!
Wei Dongshu forcibly suppressed his anger and asked: "Your third sister spent sixty taels of silver before and after in order to let you out, and she has only been doing business for a few days, how much savings can she have? Now that you have released it, you will fight your third sister when you hear a few words of discussion, not to mention that you will take revenge, just say that you are a young lady, and there are no minimum etiquette rules?!"
"Can't you see it, she deliberately spent money, and then spread rumors everywhere that I love to take advantage......" Yuan Jie finished speaking, and was frightened by Wei Dongshu's eyes, she bit her lower lip tightly, and didn't dare to continue.
"You thing that doesn't know how to die!" Wei Dong's hands trembled. Won-hee was also taken aback, he had never seen his father so angry. Wei Dongshu's face was swollen and red for a while, and it took a while to grit his teeth and squeeze out a sentence: "How did I give birth to such an evil seed as you!"
"Your third sister didn't say anything, and Ling'er didn't say anything, this was told to the old lady by the person who guarded you in the ancestral hall. You kind of brute who hurts people without asking questions, and you dare to talk about framing? Who is spreading rumors? Isn't what the people are saying the truth? I think you just love to take advantage of you, just like your mother, if it weren't for your bad conduct, which subordinate would dare to laugh at you?" Wei Dongshu was angry, causing himself to cough for a while, and Aunt Yu hurriedly supported him to comfort him.
Yuan Jie quietly glanced at her, lowered her head and gasped. Wei Dongshu saw that she still didn't have a soft word, and there was really no way to do it, she beat and scolded, and if she didn't change her life, even eight cows couldn't pull it. Wei Dongshu angrily poked Yuan Jie's forehead: "Okay, okay, you can do it, listen up, sixty taels of silver, deduct from your mother's monthly plan, until the deduction is finished." ”
Sixty taels is already worth the Zheng family's three-year monthly rule, even if ten taels are deducted every year, it will be deducted for six years! Twenty taels of silver to meet the expenses is already enough, and now it is only ten taels, can life still be lived?
"Why! We didn't let her spend the money, she was willing to spend it herself, what does it matter to me? Don't you just eat a bite of her snack? I can give her five taels of silver, but why should we pay back the rest?" Yuan Jie was already red-eyed, like a reckless bull, and when he saw the red cloth, he ran around.
Yuan Xi saw that she was really anxious, thinking that Yuan Jie had also suffered a lot, seeing her so desperate, Yuan Xi was also a little soft-hearted: "Dad, forget it, the silver is what I am willing to spend, and it is not Yuan Jie's business." ”
Yuan Jie took a sip and squinted at Yuan Xi: "Come on, do you want to pretend to be a good person here?"
"You!" Wei Dongshu couldn't wait to kick her intestines out with a few heartwarming kicks, but Aunt Yu knelt down and stopped her: "Master, the fourth girl is still young, don't worry about her, and take care of your body?" Aunt Yu reprimanded Yuan Jie in a low voice: "Fourth girl, it is unfilial piety to contradict your parents, and you won't make amends to your father?"
Aunt Yu is a bodhisattva, she is weak and indisputable, and she has no deterrent power when she speaks, so Yuan Jie didn't take her seriously. Seeing that Yuan Jie was becoming more and more arrogant, Wei Dongshu suddenly pushed Aunt Yu away, and flew up and kicked Yuan Jie's heart. Yuan Xi was startled, and rushed over to block Yuan Jie. Suddenly, I only felt a dull pain in my heart, my ears and eyes buzzed, and my hands and feet were cold in an instant.
"Yuanxi!" Aunt Yu got up and hurriedly supported her, and ordered a few little guys standing far away: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you go to the doctor!?"
Wei Dongshu saw that it was Yuan Xi who was injured, and hurriedly squatted down: "Xi'er, are you okay? Don't scare your father." ”
Wei Dongshu's kick was heavy enough, and it could be seen that he was indeed confused, Yuan Xi stroked his heart and gasped for a while, and gradually came to his senses. Wei Dongshu took Yuan Xi in his arms: "The doctor is coming soon, Dad will take you back first." ”
Wei Dongshu didn't care about punishing Yuan Jie, he only glared at her angrily. Yuan Jie sat on the ground stupidly, she was indeed frightened by Fang Cai's situation, rubbing her heart by herself, if she was kicked by herself, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy, right?
There was a rush in Zichen Pavilion, and Wei Dongshu saw Yuan Xi shrinking on the couch, cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from the corners of his forehead, and he was secretly distressed. I was really angry, I was able to lay such a heavy hand, and I was injured on my only daughter-in-law. How distressed would his original wife Chu be if he saw it? He held Yuan Xi's hand tightly, only to feel that the little hand was as cold as a piece of ice.
"Daddy...... What about the fourth sister?" Yuan Xi opened his eyes and looked around, but Yuan Jie was nowhere to be seen.
Wei Dongshu was stunned for a while, Yuanxi blocked such a heavy kick for her, she didn't even have a person, how could there be such a person in this world who didn't know what to do? In order to relieve Yuanxi's heart, Wei Dongshu said: "Punish you for kneeling in the garden, and ask your father to find her?"
Yuan Xi shook his head reluctantly: "Dad, just let her go back, the weather is too cold and it will freeze her." ”
It's really boring for the two sisters to fight like this, and a person with such a temperament as Yuan Jie makes her understand that it's really difficult for her. She has already suffered a lot, and if she continues like this, Yuan Xi will also feel a little cruel. For example, the moment Wei Dongshu kicked that kick, he couldn't help but be beaten for her, and he didn't hate her as much as he imagined, right?
Wei Dongshu nodded, and symbolically instructed Aunt Yu: "You go and tell Yuan Jie and let her go back." Aunt Yu also knew that Yuan Jie had already gone back to rest, and she didn't want Yuan Xi to be sad anymore, so she could only respond with makeup and go to the outer hall to stay for a while.
Wei Dongshu comforted: "Now you can rest assured, close your eyes and rest for a while." ”
"Dad, don't tell your grandmother, she'll be worried. ”
Wei Dongshu's nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears. Suddenly, when I heard Ling'er say that the doctor had arrived, I secretly rubbed my eyes, reassured the curtain, and let the doctor in. The doctor cut the pulse, prescribed a few doses of Goat Li Dong Pills, and told him to take the medicine on time, and he would be cured in a few days.
Wei Dongshu helped Yuanxi take a dose of medicine, and when he saw that she slept quietly, he went back first, and before leaving, he ordered Ling'er to keep guard, and if there was a situation, he would report immediately. In fact, there is no need to instruct, a straight-eyed girl like Ling'er, if you want her to close her eyes, she can't sleep, so she keeps sitting on the side of Yuanxi's bed to accompany her.
Won-hee slept for half a night, and faintly felt some pain in his heart, so he woke up. Ling'er hurriedly hugged Yuan Xi and asked, "Miss, are you better?" Are you hungry, the master asked someone to send some food supplements, do you want to eat something?"
Through the light, Yuan Xi saw a large and small box piled up on the table, like a tonic that Ling'er said. It's late at night, and I don't have much appetite. She shook her head: "You pour a glass of warm water and I'll drink it." ”
Ling'er mixed a few drops of acacia nectar into the water, and Yuan Xi drank it in one go, leaning on the pillow to rest.
Ling'er saw that she was uncomfortable, so she blamed her distressedly: "Miss, if you want me to say, you are too, why should you be beaten for her, she won't be grateful to you anyway." You see, now that you're hurt, she doesn't even say a word of greeting, which is really chilling. ”
Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "You didn't see that situation, so you don't understand." I've never seen my father so angry, and I've never seen Yuan Jie so scared and stubborn. There is a degree to everything, and it must be done in moderation. I didn't want to force her to do this, so I relented. ”
Ling'er flattened her mouth: "Although I didn't see it, I also heard what the little guy next to the master said, it's not you forcing her at all." If it's just a matter of snacks, the old man won't be so angry, the old man is angry with their mother and daughter, the old one is cunning and calculating, and the little one has no heart at all. In fact, she only needs to say a few soft words to the master, the master has such a good temper, and he will spare her, who knows that she is stinky and hard. If so, you'll have to blame her for getting hurt. ”
Ling'er said, took a homely white white jacket from the shelf and put it on Yuan Xi, tightened the quilt for her, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Miss is fine, the doctor said that you can recover after a few days of recuperation." The master said that there are things in the shop, so let the eldest young master take care of it first, and you can rest in peace. ”
The eldest young master Cheng Yong is a bodhisattva-hearted person like Aunt Yu, with a gentle and elegant temperament and a Confucian demeanor. It's really hard for him to let such a person deal with those old fritter guys in the pawnshop. Yuan Xi shook his head: "Let's go to the store tomorrow." ”
Ling'er wondered, "Don't you still believe the eldest young master?"
Yuan Xi shook his head: "Although the eldest brother has a good character, but his temperament is too elegant, I am afraid that Liu Tianbao and a few of them will deliberately play tricks with him, and it is a trivial matter to lose money, if my father is disappointed in him, it will not be good." ”
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the door of the store, he heard a crisp singing voice coming from inside: "A bamboo flute of Xiangfei is fifty taels ......of silver."
Ling'er snorted indignantly: "Miss, I really let you say it, they are playing the temptation game again, seeing that the eldest young master doesn't know how to do it, they even dare to be the master." She hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the door curtain, and Yuan Xi walked forward slowly: "I heard that Ruan Er doesn't want to do it?"
Liu Tianbao and the other four were all stunned, and the eldest young master Cheng Yong saw Yuanxi coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Didn't you let you recuperate at home?
