Chapter 45 Short-sighted
The celebration banquet was held in a festive manner. Mrs. Qian was surrounded by everyone, her face was full of joy, and she was smiling so much that her lips almost reached behind her ears. This was the most public appearance she had since marrying into the Xue Mansion.
"How can I, a woman with a business background, know these things? This time I have to thank the old lady for guidance, and our sixth daughter..."
With that said, she pulled Xue Sui in front of her, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Even though Miss Six is young, she is very smart. She has helped me a lot. Otherwise, I would have embarrassed our Third Master today."
Everyone agreed.
"The third lady has managed to survive."
“Mr.
"It is also the blessing of the third lady."
"Thank you, thank you." The third lady smiled humbly and glanced at the eldest lady, "I just got a job, got royal food, and no longer have to look at people's faces to eat."
Everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Mrs. Fu was sitting in the waterside pavilion of Wangyue Tower, surrounded by several girls and women, with an expressionless face.
Aunt Liu curled her lips in disgust, "You are so petty! You look like you have never seen the world."
Xiu Gu said: "The eldest lady is so kind-hearted that she allows them to be so presumptuous. As for the servant, with her background, she is not even qualified to carry the eldest lady's shoes..."
The eldest lady raised her eyebrows slightly, with a look of exhaustion in her expression: "If you say a few words, you won't be listened to, and you will treat me as a sister-in-law and won't tolerate others."
There are a lot of disputes under the house door. The eldest lady is having a hard time these days. The servant wanted to find an excuse to let her express her feelings, but after hearing the sound, she had to give up and quietly watched the third room with her tail raised proudly. It was not good in such an occasion. eventful.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Cuiyu, the girl from Lianshui Pavilion, running here in a hurry.
His face was as pale as paper, and there was blood on his hands and clothes.
"Old Madam, Sir, it's not good..."
Everyone looked over.
Xue Qingzhi stood up from his seat, "Why are you so nervous?"
The little girl looked at his majestic face, then timidly glanced at the guests in the hall, bit her lower lip, and held back her breath before crying.
"Our two girls committed suicide."
The eldest lady said that the second girl liked to be clean, so she left two of her own girls in Lianshui Pavilion to serve her. There were also a few rough servants who had been told not to enter the master's house at will.
Therefore, the outside world doesn't know anything about what's going on there.
The girl's voice fell, and the air seemed to freeze.
The originally festive atmosphere was interrupted.
Xue Qingzhi's smile also froze on his face.
"What evil has she done on this great day?"
The girl trembled and said: "Just now, the second uncle Yao, the second uncle Yao and the second girl had a fight... After the uncle left, the second girl changed her clothes, combed her hair again, and sent Cuiyu and me to the outside. He said he wanted to calm down for a while, so as not to make people laugh later. ”
"Me and Cuiyu waited around, but we didn't see the second girl coming out, so we opened the door to look. The second girl... couldn't think anymore and cut her wrist..."
Cuiyu was young and looked frightened. Her body was extremely tense and her words were repeated over and over again.
But everyone finally understood.
Yao Wei beat the second girl, and the couple had a fight.
"Why can't you think about this damn girl?"
The old lady's face turned extremely dark, and she glanced at Mr. Fu, who was watching coldly.
"Why don't you call the government doctor! You, the mistress, are so careless and distracted!"
Mrs. Fu sneered secretly, and did not retaliate even after being complained about. While sending someone to ask for the doctor, she took someone to Lianshui Pavilion.
The female relatives also came to visit one after another.
The door of Lianshui Pavilion was open. Xue Yuelou was lying on the bed, his eyes closed tightly, his face pale, and half of his body seemed to have been soaked in blood. The girl Cuiyu hurriedly tore off the sheets, her body shaking like chaff, and pulled She wrapped her wrists but couldn't stop the bleeding.
The strong smell of blood could be smelled through the curtains.
Xue Yueying followed, and as soon as she stepped into the house, the pungent smell hit her forehead.
Her stomach was churning, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and nose. She almost vomited it out with a "vomit" sound...
Xue Qingzhi frowned: "What are you doing here? Go down and rest."
Xue Yueying's eyes were red, "My daughter wants to come and see her second sister..."
Mrs. Fu sneered when she heard the sound and motioned to the girl, "Why don't you help the four girls down quickly? You are so delicate, so don't be hit here."
Xue Yueying's face paled slightly, and Xue Qingzhi's face also darkened. They all had their own ideas, as if they had completely forgotten that the person who should be most concerned about at this moment was Xue Yuelou, who was lying unconscious on the bed after cutting his wrists.
The girl fell to her knees with a plop, crying so hard that she was out of breath.
"Madam, Sir, save the second girl, save the second girl of our family."
Mrs. Fu said with a stern face: "Why are you kneeling to me? It's as if I killed her with a knife."
Xue Qingzhi frowned when he saw the scene in the room, and then he started to urge.
"Where is the doctor? Why hasn't the doctor come yet..."
The room then became busy.
Xue Sui looked at it from a distance, and saw large swaths of scarlet that stung his eyes. The compassionate faces that looked like masks wearing ghost symbols were so abominable.
Looking at the emaciated second sister, she felt deep compassion in her heart.
A concubine in the back house who has no one to protect her is like a rootless duckweed. In the end, she is nothing more than a victim of the family's interests. She has to live an ignoble life at the mercy of others and suffer bullying.
"Get out of the way." Xue Sui pushed aside the crowd and walked over quickly.
With a stern face and firm eyes, she took the golden medicine from Xiao Zhao's hand. Under the astonished eyes of everyone, she neatly untied the scarf around her wrist and sprinkled the golden medicine carefully on Xue Yuelou's wound. , and then re-bandage the hemorrhage.
All eyes fell on her eyes.
Xue Yue'e said in surprise: "What is the sixth sister doing? If you want to be limelight, you shouldn't make fun of the second sister's life...Father, mother, stop her quickly."
Xue Yueman also said anxiously: "Second sister is unconscious, Xue Liu, please let her go!"
Xue Qingzhi: "Shut up!" He was a man who had been on the battlefield, and he could tell that Xue Sui was saving people.
Xue Sui finished this as if no one was around, then gently pried open Xue Yuelou's jaw, inserted a pill, and then raised her lower jaw. He didn't know how, but he saw that the unconscious Xue Yuelou had a lump in his throat. With a little movement, the ball was swallowed.
Everyone was surprised.
Yao Wei arrived late, happened to see this situation, and asked at the top of his voice:
"Xue Liu, what did you give the second lady to eat?"
Xue Sui looked at him coldly and said nothing.
Yao Wei froze, looking at Xue Sui's cold eyes, thinking of what she had just said at Wangyue Tower, he calmed down his expression slightly, and looked like a husband and wife deeply in love, and walked forward and hugged Xue Yuelou. Absolutely.
"Second Lady, why are you doing this? I just said a few words to you out of anger. Why should I not think about it? My husband has made a special trip to take you back today."
Xue Sui looked at him and sneered, "Second sister is alive and well, why do you need to come to mourn her?"
Yao Wei was used to bullying her since childhood, how could he bear this change?
His eyebrows rose: "Xue Liu, is it not your turn to speak about the matter between Second Lady and I?"
Xue Sui's originally stern face suddenly showed a hint of smile, and his dark eyes were so deep that they seemed to be filled with boundless coldness. Yao Wei couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.
"The doctor is here!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The arrival of the government doctor interrupted this tense situation.
Everyone waited with bated breath, not daring to make a sound.
The doctor carefully examined Xue Yuelou's injuries and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Second aunt and grandma are so lucky that even the King of Hell will not accept her."
After bleeding so much, he was able to save his life and his physical condition stabilized. This was very rare for him who had been a doctor for half his life.
He turned to look at Xue Sui, raised his hands and asked, "I wonder what good medicine the Sixth Girl gave the Second Girl?"
Xue Sui looked calm, "It's just ginseng slices and meatballs. I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time."
Seeing that the sixth girl didn't want to say anything, the doctor smiled and stopped asking any more questions. He stepped aside and concentrated on prescribing the prescription.
Yao Wei watched the people coming and going in the room.
Finally, his eyes fell coldly on Xue Sui.
This Xue Liu is more damnable than he was ten years ago.
—
Mrs. Qian was naturally unhappy when a banquet was turned into such a mess. But all the limelight that should have been given was gone. The second girl was really pitiful, and it was not easy to be harsh after all, so she asked someone to bring some good medicinal materials, handed them over to Bi Zhu, and gave her some careful instructions.
"Take good care of your two girls. If you need anything, come to me in the west courtyard."
Bi Zhu cried and said yes.
Xue Yuelou woke up an hour later.
When she struggled to open her eyes, she saw Xue Sui sitting by the bed, with lowered eyelashes and a solemn face. The light and shadow fell on her slender figure, as if coated with a layer of shimmer, exuding a sense of letting go. The power of peace of mind.
"Sixth sister..."
Xue Sui turned his head when he heard the sound, his eyes softened a little.
"Second girl, do you feel better?"
Xue Yuelou's eyes turned red, tears fell again, and his heart was filled with sadness.
"I'm telling you a joke."
Xue Sui shook his head slightly and asked with a chuckle: "Did you still laugh at my jokes a lot in those years?"
Xue Yuelou's expression changed, as if he was remembering something, but he stopped talking: "Sixth sister, the second sister was incompetent back then..."
"I know everything." Xue Sui interrupted her gently, his voice a bit lonely: "The year I left the house, Aunt Liu was punished by the eldest lady to go to Baiyun Temple to copy scriptures and pray for blessings. You stayed with her for half a year, but you didn't know Love..."
Xue Yuelou said: "I know. It's just...I can't help you with anything."
Xue Sui smiled and said, "Then let me help you."
"What can I do?" Xue Yuelou smiled miserably.
"In the years since I married into the Yao family, my mother-in-law has been unkind, my father-in-law has been displeased, my sister-in-law has been taunting me all day long, and my husband has been extremely disgusted with me... My child, Brother Ming, was born stupid and foolish, and will not be able to stand out in the future. It is also difficult to inherit the family business..."
Xue Sui bent down slightly and looked level with Xue Yuelou, "Second young lady, have you ever thought about why Brother Ming is so stupid?"
Xue Yuelou suffocated suddenly, and the appearance of Brother Ming when he was a child could not help but appear in his mind.
She remembered that when Brother Ming was first born, he was lively and cute. He was even more intelligent when he was babbling and learning English. He was not like he is now, stupid and timid, and didn't understand anything and couldn't teach anything. I can't even remember it, I have to tell you a small thing countless times.
Especially later, the Yao family felt that he was embarrassed and would not let him leave the house. He had little contact with people, and he became even more dull and dull.
Thinking of this, Xue Yuelou burst into tears and sobbed: "Brother Ming is so pitiful. It's all because I, as a mother, have no ability. I deserved it for not taking good care of him after giving birth to him..."
Xue Sui shook his head gently.
"When something happens, find fault in others. Hold yourself accountable less and blame others more."
Xue Yuelou lowered his head, tears flowing uncontrollably.
"I am still useful to Yao Wei now. He is only thinking about promotion in his official career, and it is hard for him to have a reputation of treating his wife badly. But if one day, I am no longer useful... my brother Ming, life will definitely be more difficult. . Sometimes, I think it would be a relief to take him with me..."
Xue Sui held her hand and patted the back of her hand gently, "For Brother Ming, you have to live well. Everything else will be arranged by God..."
Xue Yuelou was slightly startled and raised his tearful eyes.
"Tell me, can God see it?"
Xue Sui smiled at her and nodded.
"There are gods three feet above your head. Good and evil are rewarded, and cause and effect cycle. Second sister, you have to stand up!"
Xue Yuelou looked at her with tears in his eyes.
Xue Sui held her hand tightly and said, "Only when you stand up can you support your child."
Xiao Zhao: Girl, it’s time to place an order.
Xue Sui wrote two words: East Palace.
