Chapter 274 Heart disease occurs
Song Boqing and Song Huai, father and son, continued to lead the funeral procession out of the city. The number of mourners had been reduced by two-thirds, and the funeral procession suddenly became much deserted.
The wound on Shi Wenting's head has been bandaged, and there is a circle of white gauze wrapped around her head. It is not very conspicuous in this white, but her soul seems to have not returned yet, her face is dull, and she is beaten by the daughter-in-law of the two clans. Left and right, walking behind the coffin.
Seeing that she was injured and frightened, Mrs. Dou was very worried, so she went to Song Huai and asked to let Shi Wenting go back to rest and have someone calm her down.
Song Huai refused.
"This is my grandmother's funeral. Wen Ting is the granddaughter-in-law of my Song family. How could I not send my grandmother off just because she was frightened? This is unjustifiable."
Being scolded by her son-in-law in public, Ms. Dou blushed with embarrassment, but could not refute.
She also knew that the request was inappropriate. Her granddaughter-in-law would not attend the old lady's funeral, but she also felt sorry for her daughter, otherwise she would not be so shy as to make this request to her son-in-law. However, Song Huai refused without even thinking, and Han Han broke her heart.
That was his wife, how could he not care?
Mrs. Dou was very disappointed, but she also understood that Xiao Zeng's funeral was a big one and she shouldn't cause any trouble at this time. She had to say, "Forget it, tell a few more people to take care of Wen Ting. It’s still growing.”
There is something in her words.
Song Huai asked Shi Wenting's wet nurse and maid to go to her to take care of her. When the Dou family saw her, they felt less dissatisfied with their son-in-law.
Zeng was also frightened, which caused a heart attack, and soon she fainted from angina pectoris.
Xia Zihan was frightened and hurriedly fed her a pill. After waiting for a while and seeing that she hadn't woken up yet, she ordered her servants to inform Song Baiqing. Then she, Fox and others took Zeng back to Chu in a hurry. Home.
Old man Bai was urged by Chu Cang and ran into Zeng's house.
Xia Zihan, who was sitting by the bed and holding one of Zeng's hands, turned red when he saw old man Bai, "Master, please show grandma quickly. Grandma has a heart disease, but after eating it, you can teach me I didn’t wake up even after taking the pill.”
"Don't worry, the old lady's body has been in good condition in the past few years, and nothing serious will happen."
While comforting her, Old Man Bai put down the medicine box, took out a pack of silver needles from the medicine box, and sat down on the chair where Xia Zihan was sitting.
First, the pulse was felt, and then more than ten silver needles were inserted into Zeng's head, chest, and fingers.
After finishing, Old Man Bai wiped his sweat and looked a little solemn, "What happened?"
The old lady's pulse was floating on the fingertips, and it was rapid, tight and weak. She was clearly frightened.
The old lady has always been courageous and knowledgeable, and she is also a calm and collected person when faced with major events. I think back then, when the old lady was surrounded by a large group of black-clad killers, she was not too frightened.
It must be a big deal to be able to scare the old lady like this.
Xia Zihan bit her lip and told her what happened at the city gate.
"It seems that today is going to be chaotic." Old Man Bai sighed.
Xia Zihan remained silent.
At the city gate, she noticed some problems.
It seems that some of these refugees are not ordinary refugees. Although they are trying hard to pretend to be refugees, there are still some differences.
For example, they are taller than ordinary refugees, and they are not as skinny as ordinary refugees. They are so hungry that only a layer of skin and bones is left.
And their eyes...
The look in the eyes she saw was not as panicked and uneasy as those of the refugees, but rather one of sarcasm, sinisterness, excitement, and many complex emotions gathered together.
She noticed it at first because the refugee suddenly jumped on her. While she was protecting her grandmother tightly, she raised her foot and kicked him hard.
According to her reaching out, she should be able to kick it easily.
But he dodged very quickly and avoided it.
A pair of excited eyes suddenly turned sinister, staring at her sinisterly, as if he was unhappy that she wouldn't let him knock her down.
No, it was probably because she was unhappy that she discovered that he had martial arts skills and that he was different from ordinary refugees.
Just when he was about to kill someone and silence him, the fox and the flower snake came, and the man disappeared.
After she was safe, when she looked at the hundreds of refugees again, she suddenly discovered that nearly half of the men among the refugees were tall, strong, and steady in their steps. At first glance, they were all practitioners.
Many members of the Song family have suffered secret losses in fights.
After the soldiers of the Military and Horse Division took action, the group of people took the opportunity to flee in all directions. In the blink of an eye, they were gone.
She wanted to remind the Bingma Division, but the fox pulled her away and said, "County Lord, stay out of your own business and don't get yourself into trouble."
Then she shut up.
When she thought about it after returning home, she realized that this refugee incident might not be simple.
This is the capital city, the imperial city at the feet of the emperor, with the emperor and his relatives everywhere. How can we allow refugees to come in and cause trouble at will?
Behind this, it is clear that someone is deliberately operating.
She had a vague feeling that someone was taking advantage of the floods in the south of the Yangtze River to deliberately lead refugees to come to Beijing, hoping to cause trouble in the capital. As for what happened...
She tried hard to think about her past life, but she couldn't remember anything.
She only remembered that after the refugees poured into the capital, her grandmother would not let her go out. The door of the Chu family was closed tightly. They had no idea what was going on outside. Until the twelfth lunar month, the family wanted to buy New Year items, and the village head also wanted Come to report one year's accounts to grandma, and the door of the Chu family was reopened.
At that time, the capital had long since returned to its former bustle, as if the disaster of the refugees had never happened.
The more Xia Zihan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her heart.
She quietly called the fox and ordered, "Send a few people to pay attention to the movements of the refugees. If there is any situation, report it to me immediately."
After a pause, she added, "Although I am not the savior, I must protect myself."
"Knowing yourself and the enemy can take precautions in advance and keep your family safe."
After the fox disappeared, she called Chu Cang and told her, "Go and call the master. Tell him that the old lady is sick and ask him to come over."
Then he summoned Chu Fei and told her, "Go to Zhuangzi and tell Second Aunt Grandma that the capital is not peaceful recently and ask her to be careful."
She had to give her aunt a warning about such a big matter.
Before her uncle and Aqi left, Qian warned her and asked her to take good care of her aunt. But now that her grandmother is sick, she can't leave her alone in the capital and go to Zhuangzi to take care of her aunt.
Fortunately, there are more than a dozen secret guards with high martial arts skills around my aunt, as well as hundreds of guards from the Chu family. These people are enough to protect my aunt and Mr. Chu.
As for the Xia family, she only wanted to protect her father. As for the others, it had nothing to do with her.
At noon, Xia Shiming got off the school, and his carriage was stopped by Chu Cong on the way.
Knowing that Zeng was suddenly seriously ill, Xia Shiming ordered the carriage to divert to Chu's house without saying a word.
Zeng hadn't woken up yet, and Xia Shiming was extremely anxious, "The old lady has always been in good health." The last time she was upset by the Song family, she recovered quickly, "Why did you suddenly become ill again?"
< br>
The Xia family, who were related by marriage, also wanted to attend Xiao Zeng's funeral. However, due to the divorce of the Song family, Xia Shiming did not like to go to the Song family, so he only sent a steward to take his place.
Xia Shiming came back from Hanlin Academy and was called to the Chu residence before he could get home. Naturally, he didn't know what happened at the gate of the city.
However, such a big thing had spread all over the capital. Even if she didn't tell Xia Shiming, Xia Shiming would know about it soon.
Xia Zihan roughly said it once, and Xia Shiming's face became very solemn, "This man is old and frightened..." It's not easy to get over.
Xia Shiming didn't say the next few words, for fear that it would increase Xia Zihan's psychological burden.
In the evening, Ms. Zeng finally woke up. Xia Zihan held her hand tightly with red eyes, "Grandma, you are scaring me to death. You must not leave me alone..."
Already choked with sobs and unable to speak.
Mrs. Zeng felt distressed and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the pads of her thumbs, and said weakly, "Silly girl, grandma will not abandon you before she sees you getting married and having children."
Xia Shiming also came to express his condolences. Zeng nodded and said, "I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry."
Then he glanced at the darkened window and said, "It's already dark, so you'd better go back quickly. There are a lot of homeless people in the city right now, and it's not safe to travel in the dark. Remember to ask He Donglin to send a few more people to escort you back."< br>
Just saying these few words, there was a layer of sweat on Zeng's forehead.
Xia Zihan felt extremely distressed and said hurriedly, "Grandma, please stop talking and save your strength to take good care of your health. I'm afraid it's dangerous for dad to come home so late, so I asked He Donglin to send a guard to Xia's house to inform him that we're keeping dad here." Stayed here for one night.”
"That's fine."
Seeing her granddaughter becoming more and more thoughtful and acting like a matron, Ms. Zeng smiled reassuringly.
Mother Su asked Qingya to bring the decoction that was warming on the stove. Xia Zihan took it and fed Mrs. Zeng to drink it herself.
Mrs. Zeng broke out in a hot sweat and her whole body was sticky. It was really uncomfortable.
Xia Zihan and Mother Su were going to clean and change Zeng's clothes, so Xia Shiming and old man Bai who had been watching over him went to the side hall to have dinner, while Chu Kuang and several maids were waiting on him.
After Mrs. Zeng changed into clean and comfortable clothes, Old Man Bai and Xia Shiming also had dinner. Old Man Bai gave Mr. Zeng another injection. Xia Zihan followed suit and pricked Old Man Bai all the way. I have memorized several acupuncture points.
Before the silver needle could be pulled out, a little maid hurriedly came to report, "County Master, the second aunt and grandma are here."
aunt?
Does she still dare to enter the city at this time?
Xia Zihan was shocked and quickly stood up and said, "Grandma, master, dad, I will go out to greet aunt."
He hurried out of the house.
As soon as she reached the hanging flower gate, she saw a gorgeous four-person sedan approaching, followed by several maids and women.
Soon, the sedan stopped at the door of Chuihua.
