Chapter 35 Seriously ill
Shu Zhen was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a long time. Tan Ju was frightened and told the story again.
When he learned that Xia Zihan was forced to go to the back mountain by Song Huai and was abandoned by the three of them as food for the giant snake, Song Baiqing was so horrified that he broke into a cold sweat.
His face turned pale, and he slumped on the chair, muttering, "It's over, it's over, the Anyang Marquis' Mansion is over."
Xia Zihan was killed by his eldest son just after he was named the county lord by the emperor. This... the emperor knew about it, so it would be strange not to destroy the Anyang Marquis Mansion.
What to do, what to do?
Song Baiqing was almost going crazy with anxiety.
He originally wanted to block the clues and cover up the fact that Xia Zihan was killed by Song Huai. At worst, one of them would die and refuse to admit his guilt. However, when Song Huai and the other two came back, they were looked at by many people because they were in such a mess, except for the subordinates of the Chu family. Outside of people, the monks in the temple also know a lot.
I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my mouth shut.
He took this breath out on Shu Zhen and Tan Ju, and ordered them to be beaten twenty times each.
Song Huai was so frightened that he fell ill after he returned. He had a high fever for a while and a low fever for a while. He kept shouting, 'Don't eat me, don't eat me... snake... help me...'
Seeing that Song Baiqing was unconscious and seriously ill, Song Baiqing was afraid that his only son would have trouble, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape. He left a letter saying that he was going to the capital to find an imperial doctor to treat Song Huai, but in fact he was taking Song Huai away from the capital. , went to take refuge at a relative's home in Minjiang City.
Even if the emperor wants to destroy the Anyang Hou Mansion after he finds out, he still has to leave a root for the Song family.
Zeng was also alarmed. After hearing that Xia Zihan was eaten by a snake, Zeng fainted and did not wake up until night.
Seeing the living Xia Zihan standing in front of her, Zeng hugged her excitedly and cried loudly.
In the next few days, Mrs. Zeng restrained Xia Zihan and wouldn't let her go anywhere. She even kept her by her side at night, and the grandfather and grandson slept under the same quilt.
Five days later, Song Baiqing came back after learning that Xia Zihan was not dead. He looked apologetic and apologized to Zeng on behalf of Song Huai, "The child was still young. In that situation, he was so scared that he lost consciousness. It was Tan Ju who pulled him to escape, otherwise, he would be swallowed by a snake. .”
It means that Zeng and Xia Zihan should not blame Song Huai. Song Huai left Xia Zihan and fled for his life. That was not his original intention.
"The matter has passed and Yu Niang is fine. Don't worry too much." Zeng said.
He said it was okay, but his expression was indifferent.
People say that this person's good character can only be revealed in critical moments.
When Song Huai was on the line between life and death, he abandoned Xia Zihan and only focused on escaping for his own life. She said she didn't mind, which was a lie,
If Xia Zihan hadn't met the Orion and rescued her in time, she would have been swallowed by the giant snake and her body would have been gone.
Xia Zihan was her heart and soul, the only bloodline of her Chu family, and Song Huai's fiancée. In order to survive, he abandoned his fiancée. This character cannot be justified.
In the past few days, she had secretly regretted entrusting Xia Zihan's life to a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
It's just that the engagement has been decided, and it's too late to regret.
Zeng sighed slightly, with a hint of worry on her face, "Brother Huai, I heard that I was scared a lot. How are you doing now?"
There won't be any sequelae, right?
"It's better, but I still have nightmares at night and can't live without anyone." Song Baiqing frowned, worried about his eldest son's health.
