Wen Tingzhi was injured and couldn't move, so the doctor placed him in the side room of Yixintang after seeing him. After pouring down a bowl of dark medicine, he tossed and swallowed for a long time.
Wen Guogong left after learning that his son was indeed not in danger of life, and Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, did not leave. In the middle of the night, Mrs. Wen couldn't stand it anymore, so she went back to sleep.
The night is like a mouth wide open, as if it wants to swallow everything up, and it also seems to want to spit out all the secrets of the past. Mrs. Wen looked at her son who was still in pain in his sleep, her eyes were full of hatred.
Over the years, she thought she had done a good job, caring for her husband and raising her children properly, treating people and dealing with things and dealing with people in every detail. Externally, he maintains the honor of the Duke's Mansion, internally he is filial to his mother-in-law and takes care of the inner house, even if he is a widow who has been guarding for more than 20 years, he has no complaints.
How many women in the world can do what she does!
Staying alone in the vacant room every night, knowing that your husband is thinking about others, you can't be jealous, and even praise your husband and other people's affection from time to time.
She stretched out her hand and caressed her son's face distressedly. Why did she do so well all these years, but in the end it was not as good as a few instigations from an outsider?
"...No, don't, don't kill me!" Wen Tingzhi yelled, waking up sweating profusely.
"Ting'er, Ting'er, don't be afraid, mother is here, mother is here."
"Mother..." Wen Tingzhi's terrified and distracted eyes gained focus, and he tightly held on to his mother's clothes. "Mother, mother, Wen Yu wants to kill me, you want to save me, you save me quickly!"
"Mother knows, mother knows." Mrs. Wen squeezed out a gentle smile, as usual. "Don't be afraid, Ting'er, mother won't let him touch you again."
"Mother, he... he really wants to kill me! You have all seen it, he is an evil **** who will not be recognized by his relatives! I am his elder brother, and he actually attacked me in front of you, father and grandmother. If you don't If you fail you, he will definitely kill him! You let Dad go to visit him in front of His Majesty... Yes, he is not filial or fraternal, and he has no respect for elders!"
Mrs. Wen held her son's hand tightly. If it was someone else, it might be useful to read a book. But that person is Wen Yu, His Majesty's most beloved nephew. Not to mention one book, even one hundred books are useless.
"Ting'er, mother taught you, no matter what happens, don't panic, and don't mess yourself up. A little intolerance can lead to chaos, and this incident can be regarded as a lesson for you."
"I'm not wrong, that **** really showed off his **** in front of me. If I didn't remember what you said, that **** would have been mine long ago. Isn't he very gentle? Isn't he thinking that Yongchang City Is there no one to compare to? Marrying such a **** is not too shameful." Wen Tingzhi shouted, his eyes were inexplicably excited. The pain in his body and the joy in his heart were intertwined, making him tremble all over.
"Mother knows that you look down on that kind of thing the most, and you did a good job in that matter. Even if you don't like that **** anymore, you shouldn't mention it in front of Brother Yu. Even if Brother Yu doesn't care That bitch, but they are husband and wife after all. What annoys him is not what you said, but that you made him lose face and his self-esteem. "
Wen Tingzhi's face was slightly distorted, and only then did he realize that he was in Yixintang.
He didn't know what to think, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"Where is the princess?"
Mrs. Wen also changed her face. She couldn't believe that the princess didn't hear anything about such a big incident. It seemed that it was already four o'clock in the morning, and there was no movement at all.
She lowered her eyelids, "Perhaps she went to bed early."
"That bitch, she can still sleep!" Hate gradually appeared on Wen Tingzhi's distorted face. He was beaten like this by Wen Yu, and his wife didn't even show her face.
What's the use of such an unvirtuous woman!
His body was shaking, his teeth collided up and down, and his head became dizzy, as if the river was overwhelmed. Before he got up, he had already spat out "wow".
Mrs. Wen couldn't dodge in time, and was splashed a lot on her body. The sour smell is mixed with the smell of medicine, not to mention how unpleasant it is. After some cleaning and re-boiling and feeding the medicine, the outside is already a gray light.
After vomiting and drinking the medicine, Wen Tingzhi fell asleep again.
It was only when the sky dawned that Mrs. Wen came out of the side room.
She looked around Yixintang, her eyes were full of coldness.
At this time, the main room was quiet, and the scent of tranquilizing incense was everywhere in the room. The crane beak incense burner was not turned off all night, and the curling cigarettes quietly comforted the sleeping people.
Mrs. Wen didn't sleep soundly. She was old, and she couldn't see bloody, and couldn't stand stimulation. The scene of the eldest grandson being kicked away kept coming to mind, and she recited the Heart Sutra several times before going to bed.
In her sleep, she seemed to have returned to more than 20 years ago. She was sitting in the upper seat, and in front of her was a new couple. The one wearing the bridegroom's wedding dress is her eldest son Wen Rong, and the woman next to her is her newly married daughter-in-law. The bride lowered her head, she only saw the row of radiant tassels on her forehead.
Who is this man?
She was terrified and inexplicable, and tried hard to see the appearance of the bride.
No, it won't be Ann and the eldest princess.
The daughter-in-law she chose for herself is the most educated, gentle and sensible girl, how could it be that arrogant princess.
There was a blur in front of her, and the more she tried to see clearly, the more she couldn't see clearly. She couldn't see anything but the blinding streamer. She was anxious, the more she couldn't see clearly, the more she wanted to see clearly.
Suddenly the bride raised her head, it was a wolf's face, and it showed thick wolf teeth.
"ah!"
She screamed and woke up.
The little mother heard the movement and walked to the bed in a few steps.
"Old lady, old lady."
Old Mrs. Wen opened her eyes with lingering fear. There was no wolf head with its mouth open and its fangs exposed, but the worried face of the little nun.
She gasped for breath, unable to recover for a long time.
To lure wolves into the house?
Mrs. Ye said that she lured a wolf into the house, so the wolf refers to Mrs. Wang?
"Is Brother Ting awake?"
"Shizi woke up once at night, and is now asleep."
Mrs. Wen's frightened heart slowly recovered, "That's good."
Soon she remembered something, and her unattractive face slowly sank, "Has anyone been sent from the Princess Mansion to ask?"
The little mother shook her head.
Mrs. Wen snorted coldly, "Those two evildoers!"
The younger brother beat his elder brother seriously, and then he ignored him after he left. Even if Brother Ting shouldn't talk too much, there is absolutely no such reason.
There is also that Mrs. Ye, although the rules are not very good on weekdays, and he does not know how to speak and act tactfully, but fortunately he is still sensible. I didn't expect to be a **** at the critical moment, and I didn't even know the etiquette.
"It's just right that they don't come, so that I don't have to worry about it. One or two are ignorant, but it's good for me to think of Mrs. Ye before. I don't want to see people who don't have a heart, but they will tell stories, which makes Brother Yu Brother Tinger and Brother Tinger have turned against each other. She had better not come, or I will have to give her a good lesson!"
The little mother hesitated to speak, but after thinking about it, she opened her mouth. "The princess of the county should feel uncomfortable in her heart, but whoever is said to be like that would not be able to bear it. If the county king hadn't protected her, she would have the desire to die."
Women are the most prestigious, and who can stand being said that they have shown off their appearance to other men before marriage. If you really meet an unreasonable husband, I'm afraid that the only way to wash away is death.
"The family is flesh and blood, and she doesn't tell anyone. She has done it herself, so she is afraid that others will say it?" Mrs. Wen's mouth is still hard, but her heart has actually softened a bit.
"If it's what you said, old madam, it's fine. Is the eldest son a man, or an uncle... No matter how indifferent the county princess is, being humiliated by her husband's elder brother pointing her nose like that, I don't know how uncomfortable it is."
"Is she still feeling uncomfortable? Didn't you see how Ting Geer was beaten by Yu Geer? She still has the face to say that I am not a good girl of the third generation of Wang, I think I am a troublemaker. , There is no day of Ansheng. It is best if she does not come, so that I will not be upset when I see her. She will not come to the Duke's Mansion after she has the ability, so that everyone will be quiet!"
Mrs. Wen's anger still persisted, and her complexion remained unsightly.
After tidying up, she thought of something again, and her expression changed a few times.
"Is she gone?"
The word she refers to Mrs. Wen.
The little mother hurriedly said: "Madam left after dawn."
Just leave.
When Mrs. Wen thought of the words "leading wolves into the house", she felt very uncomfortable. Thinking of the wolf head in the dream again, I feel a little bit terrified.
Mrs. Wang may not be what Mrs. Ye said, but it is not a good thing either.
snort.
…
When Ye Ping stretched her waist and got up, the sun was already high. She closed her eyes and rolled to the outside of the bed, as expected, there was no obstacle. Smelling the familiar breath in the quilt, he opened his eyes contentedly.
When she lifted the tent and went to the ground, Mrs. Zeng had already opened the curtains, and the sunlight from outside the window instantly came in. The blazing sun shines through the bamboo leaves.
The sun is warm and the heat is hot.
Today is another day when I don’t want to go out.
There is an ice cream in the room, and the coolness is extremely comfortable. It is still comfortable to stay in the room in this weather. It's good to have a fight with the Duke's Mansion last night, because I don't have to go there under the sun.
The stupid ones in that family, the bad ones, the big deal is that they will not interact with each other from now on, anyway, they will not suffer.
She looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly felt that she had changed a lot. The extremely gorgeous face is not only gorgeous, but there is an additional charm in the expression of her eyebrows that she can't explain clearly.
Is it the brilliance of motherhood, or the nourishment of love?
Just thinking about it, Jin Gong came.
On such a hot day, Jin Gong still dresses meticulously. Smoothly combed hair, dark heavy clothes. There was a bit of kindness in the serious expression, especially after seeing Ye Ping, there was a faint smile in his eyes.
"Did Princess Princess sleep well?"
"Sleep well."
Ye Ping invited her to take a seat, and Mrs. Zeng poured tea and served some snacks with a wink.
The dim sum is stuffed with ice-skinned lotus paste, which has been kept next to the ice mirror. Although it is not as cold as iced, it is just right refreshing.
Jin Gong ate a piece and said hello repeatedly.
"I heard about what happened last night."
Ye Ping was slightly startled, looking at her.
She didn't look away, there was always a smile in her eyes.
So she wanted to say that she had eyeliner in Yixintang.
In a moment, Ye Ping understood her intention. Since she was so frank, she had nothing to hide. What's more, Wen Yu knew what she was like and what kind of things she had done.
As long as Wen Yu protects her, no one can touch her.
"Mr. Gong, do you think I should stop the county king?"
It's not a good reputation to spread the word about hurting one's brother because of a woman. Of course, she knew very well in her heart that this matter probably wouldn't be spread, because the Duke's family wanted to save face the most.
Jin Gong's smile deepened, "How could it be? What's wrong with the princess of the county when a girl married her husband? I heard that the princess of the county is also good at martial arts, why didn't she give that nonsense person a few slaps at the time?"
"Mr. Gong reminded me that I was unresponsive at the time." Ye Ping also smiled, and she knew that Jin Gong was an interesting person, and he was definitely not as rigid and serious as he appeared on the outside. "Listening to what Gongren said, could it be that you can do something?"
When Jin Gong heard this, his serious eyebrows suddenly became alive. It seems to be dry grass soaked in water, and it has a different agility and vitality in an instant.
When she was young, she was known for her aggressiveness in the palace, even the most respectable nuns around Concubine Xu did not dare to put on airs in front of her. At that time, His Highness was weak and His Majesty was still young, so the master and servants were careful everywhere in the palace. Even so, there are still those bullies who try to step on His Highness in vain. His Highness is smart and quick-witted. Although he can always resolve those crises, he is a bit aggrieved after all.
She remembered that once she was so angry that she pointed at Sang and cursed Huai in front of many people and severely scolded the eldest maid in Defei's palace. Since then, she has had a reputation as a pungent in the palace.
Since His Highness passed away, she restrained her nature, and only hoped that the little master could grow up safely.
"I can't beat people. When I was young, I was able to scold people a few times. Now that I am old, if I continue to swear, I will be called old and disrespectful."
"Mr. Gong is also very young now."
"How can you be young? The county king is married, and I am old too." Jin Gongren said, his eyes flashed with sadness. I once remembered that His Highness said that when they are old one day, their master and servant will go traveling together. Eat wherever you go, go to Mobei to watch the sunrise, and go to the South China Sea to watch the sunset. When His Highness said these words, he was obviously smiling, but his expression was extremely regretful.
Later she found out that it was because His Highness knew that his time was numbered.
Later, His Highness learned that he was pregnant with the little master.
It happened at that time that such a disgusting thing happened. Of those disgusting men and women, one begged the master to forgive, and the other cried that he didn't do it on purpose.
Ah.
Dirty things are dirty, even if they can still be used after washing, how can His Highness just let it go!
"I'm old, and I don't know how many years I can live. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to fulfill His Highness's entrustment."
"Mr. Gong has worked hard all these years. Now that the king of the county has grown up, what should Mr. Gong do? Everyone has their own life, and Mr. Gong doesn't need to be too harsh on himself. I think the eldest princess should be happy and gratified if Quan Xia knows of."
Jin Gong lowered his eyes, "It wasn't all over when His Highness left."
Does the eldest princess still have unfulfilled wishes?
Ye Ping thought about it, but didn't ask further.
After a while, Jin Gong raised her eyes, "I asked the Princess of the County before, when should life be the happiest and most fulfilling time? The Princess of the County said that men are successful and famous, and women are full of prosperity and wealth. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait."
Can't wait for anything?
Ye Ping's heart moved slightly, "Don't wait for words in life. Waiting and waiting will not only miss the opportunity, but also destroy your will. I like the kindness and hatred most, and I will never wait for the revenge that I can avenge now. Ten years from now."
"What the princess said is very true." There was a hint of complexity in Jin Gong's eyes. "His Highness also wanted to teach those people a lesson, but he didn't want to rest after seeing Master Kong Ming."
What kind of lesson?
Ye Ping's thoughts changed sharply.
"What does the princess have to do with those people?"
Jin Gong didn't answer, but sighed faintly.
