Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 21
Ning Xiang's instep was red, and there were a few patches of red on her ankle.

"Who did it?"

Pei Jinghan stood up slowly, his phoenix eyes were full of clouds, he asked Ningxiang on his mouth, but his eyes stared at Lianhuaniang like killing people.

The big maids around him changed several times, all because of jealousy and jealousy. He could guess the tricks between women that can't be put on the table.
Lianhua Niang's legs trembled when he saw her, and she plopped down on her knees, almost swearing to the sky, "My lord, please forgive me, I'm all to blame for this! I should have mixed the water and handed it over to Miss Ningxiang. The girl is kind. If I want to do it myself, I'll be lazy and ignore it, and something went wrong unexpectedly..."

Pei Jinghan looked at Ningxiang for proof.

Ningxiang glanced at Lianhuaniang, and met Lianhuaniang's pleading gaze as if she was looking at a straw, she narrowed her eyes and said: "I accidentally knocked over the water basin, it has nothing to do with her, my son, don't blame her."

Because of the burning pain under her feet, her voice was extremely weak, which made people feel distressed.

Su Yue was already squatting beside her, and she didn't believe this, so she wanted to speak up for this silly girl, but Ning Xiang stopped her with her eyes.

If her feet are just minor injuries and they can heal after a few days of care, Ning Xiang really doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, and there is no need to be punished by Pei Jinghan for messing with the Lianhua family.I believe that after tonight's fright, Lotus will restrain itself in the future.

Pei Jinghan looked at her, and suddenly bent down and hugged the little girl horizontally. As he walked out, he ordered Changshun with a gloomy face, "Shut up Lianhua and Lianhuaniang separately, and I will interrogate myself in a while."

He knew that Ningxiang was soft-hearted and kind, but no one could fool him, Ningxiang's feet had a problem, and he wanted to make her people suffer the same.

Lianhuaniang's face turned pale, and she knelt and chased Pei Jinghan, but was stopped by Changshun.

Su Yue gave Lianhua Niang a cold look, picked up Ning Xiang's steaming shoes and socks, quickly caught up with the master and servant in front, followed Pei Jinghan and asked Ning Xiang, "How is it, does it still hurt now?"

Ningxiang was in pain, but she was more anxious, afraid that Suyue would be angry with Pei Jinghan for hugging her again, unexpectedly when she raised her head, Suyue only saw anxiety and concern in her eyes.The pain on her feet seemed to have eased a bit, Ning Xiang shook her head towards Su Yue, and begged Pei Jinghan in a low voice, "My lord, I'm much better, I can walk by myself..."

"Shut up." Pei Jinghan interrupted her mercilessly.

Ning Xiang's face turned pale, and she looked at Su Yue again.

Su Yue smiled wryly at her and warned her not to mention it again.

Ning Xiang had no choice but to bite her lip, enduring the discomfort all over her body.

Pei Jinghan carried Ningxiang to her and Suyue's room, and ordered Suyue to wait outside for the doctor. He personally brought a basin of cold water to let Ningxiang soak her feet.Looking at her little feet that seemed to be swollen in the water, Pei Jinghan raised his eyes, stared at her and asked, "Tell me the truth, how did you do it? If you don't tell me, I'll find out from the lotus mother and daughter in a while. will be punished more severely.”

Ningxiang knew his tricks, pursed her lips, and pleaded for Lianhua: "My lord, she didn't do it on purpose..."

Pei Jinghan ended the conversation with a cold snort, and stood aside sullenly, staring at her feet wondering what he was thinking.

Ning Xiang looked at her scary red feet, guessing that he must have thought of something bad, so she held back and did not move.

After a silence of about two quarters of an hour, Father Lianhua led the best Mr. Liu in the town to come.Pei Jinghan saw that the beard of this doctor was almost completely white, and his face looked better. Lianhua's father Zhang Guanshi wanted to follow in, but Pei Jinghan kicked him out with a sharp look.Is it possible that any man can look at Ningxiang's feet?

Liu Langzhong in the room carefully asked about Ningxiang's injury, then lightly pressed Ningxiang's foot, stood up quickly, and said to Pei Jinghan: "My son, Miss Ning's injury was treated in a timely manner. According to the old man, it should be There will be no blisters, and no medicine is needed, and it can be cured after five or six days."

"You don't have any medicine for burns?" Pei Jinghan asked with a frown.

Liu Langzhong apologized with embarrassment, "Yes, yes, Qingliang ointment is specially used to treat burns. Miss Ning applies it every night before going to bed. With her injury, she can move freely in three days." He insisted on spending money to heal his injuries. This little maid really met a good master who is considerate of his servants.

After speaking, he took out a box of cooling ointment that he had prepared when he came here.

Pei Jinghan winked at Suyue, "You apply the medicine for Ningxiang."

Su Yue nodded, and took the ointment from Langzhong Liu.

Pei Jinghan led Liu Langzhong out.

Ningxiang watched him walk out of the house, and whispered to Suyue, "Will the son punish Lianhua?"

"Punishment is her own fault." Su Yue glared at Ning Xiang bitterly, "You should worry about yourself if you have that spare time. What do you do when you're walking? You still worry about outsiders, lift your feet, I'll dry you off first."

It was important to apply the medicine, so Ning Xiang obediently raised her foot.

She did everything she could do, and if Pei Jinghan really wanted to punish Lianhua, there was nothing she could do.

"Give it to me, I'll wipe it myself." Her feet didn't hurt as much as before, and they were feet again, Ning Xiang didn't want to bother Su Yue.

"Sit honestly for me." Su Yue patted her calf, making Ning Xiang shut up, she sat on the bench, carefully wiped Ning Xiang's feet until the soles of her feet were touched, she tilted her head to look See, "Does it hurt here?"

Ning Xiang shook her head, "The back of her foot hurts badly, but it's okay there."

Fortunately, it still hurts, so Su Yue helped her paint the back of her feet, and motioned her to lift her feet to apply the ointment to the soles of her feet.Ning Xiang was embarrassed, so Su Yue grabbed her ankle to prevent her from moving, and rubbed the cool ointment on the soles of her feet with her fingers.Ningxiang felt a little pain and itching, but she could bear it at first, but when she got to the center of her feet, she was itching so badly, she shrank back with a smile, "Su Yue..."

Su Yue raised her head, trying to tell her to be more honest, but she saw Pei Jinghan came back at some time, standing at the door, looking at them with a slight smile.

Ningxiang followed Suyue's gaze, immediately stopped laughing, quickly pulled her foot out of Suyue's hand, and put down her trouser leg to cover it up.

"If someone bullies you in the future, don't hide it for them." Pei Jinghan didn't think it was a pest, looked at another bare wooden bench in the room, and decided to stand and talk to the two maids, looking at Ningxiang with phoenix eyes, "You all It's my people, whoever bullies you will just ignore me."

He made a pun, and Ning Xiang pretended that she didn't understand, and lowered her head.

Su Yue didn't say anything, she wiped the ointment on her finger, and silently closed the ointment box.

It was getting late, Pei Jinghan looked out the window, then looked at the two servant girls who obviously had something on their minds, and said regretfully: "I wanted to take you to the mountains for a stroll, but now that Ningxiang can't walk, it must be impossible. Suyue, these two You take care of Ningxiang in the sky, and stay with her at night, don't let her walk around in the ground, I will go into the mountains by myself."

"Then be careful." Seeing him walking out, Su Yue got up and said.

Pei Jinghan hummed, and told her casually when he went out: "Tomorrow the matchmaker will bring someone over, you pick a few honest ones, and buy them to see the house."

Su Yue was stunned, and looked back at Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang was also taken aback, looked at Pei Jinghan and said, "My son..."

Pei Jinghan raised his hand to stop her, "I said, I will make decisions for you."

Lianhua has a big heart, her parents don't know how to teach their daughter, such a person is not worthy to serve him.

After telling the two maids to go to bed early, Pei Jinghan went back to the upper room alone.

Ningxiang Suyue looked at each other in blank dismay, and the next day she really heard the news that Lianhua's family was taken away by Ren Yazi.After Ningxiang learned about it, she was in a complicated mood to recover from her injuries. Su Yue didn't think much about it, and picked out a few servants who looked honest and responsible and assigned them to other courtyards.

The other courtyard was calm as usual, but word spread outside.

In the past, the Lianhua family relied on their masters being the heirs of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and they often showed off their power in front of the neighbors left and right, putting on a posture of being superior to others. Now that they have been sold, those neighbors who were once looked down upon by the Zhang family gloated and took pleasure in everyone's misfortune. Said with relish.

Liuxian Town is still quite big, and when the news reached Lu Cheng through countless people, it was already three days later.

At this time, Ning Xiang had followed Pei Jinghan back to Fucheng.

Lu Cheng stood outside the gate of the Pei family's other courtyard, thinking of the rumors that Lianhua was sold because of plotting against Pei Jinghan, a big maid, he was so upset that he couldn't ask the servants of Pei's family, so he went to Liu Langzhong's medical center .

"Why are you asking this?" Mr. Liu was an old man, and looked at Lu Cheng suspiciously.

Lu Cheng said worriedly: "To tell you the truth, I have some friendship with the Zhang family, and I want to go to the Marquis Mansion to intercede for them. I heard that they offended the maid with fox eyes next to Shizi, so I'm here to talk to you." For a while, lest I find the wrong person after I go over."

Liu Langzhong stroked his beard, squinted his eyes to look at the young man in front of him, nodded and said: "A friend in need is a friend, you are quite kind, but you remember wrongly, the one the Zhang family bullied was another maid named Xiang, who put you in a bad mood. The little girl's feet are hot and red, poor girl, I'm the son of the world and I'm angry too, so you'd better not get involved in this matter, the Zhang family has their own fault, and they can only blame themselves."

What happened to her!

Lu Cheng was sweating anxiously, pretending to be shocked and asked, "Could it be that her feet can't be healed?"

"That's not true, a little injury, it's almost healed." Liu Langzhong said casually, seeing someone coming to grab medicine, he waved to Lu Cheng, and went to greet the guests.

Lu Cheng's heart seemed to fly around in the sky, and only then did it land firmly on the ground.

But thinking of her suffering, Lu Cheng still couldn't help feeling distressed.

Returning home in the evening, Lu Cheng brought warm water and put it on the bench in front of the kang, wiped a wet towel to help Anan wipe his face.The little guy was just learning to walk. During the day, he walked around in the yard leaning on the wall, and would fall over if he couldn't walk steadily. His little hands touched the ground and touched the dirt in his hands, which was very dirty.

Tired from playing, Anan obediently lay on the kang, with big black eyes open, watching his father tidy up for him.

After wiping his hands, Lu Cheng continued to wipe his son's feet, holding up those white and fat little feet, the pair of embroidered shoes that she stepped on the wooden bench when she got off the carriage suddenly appeared in her mind, they looked so small, they seemed to be smaller than his The palm is large.

Thinking of her sweetheart's feet, the fat feet in her hand seemed to have become her sweetheart's too.

Staring at the chubby little feet, thinking that she was being burned, Lu Cheng lowered his head in a mysterious way, and kissed the instep with gentle eyes.

Anan has been staring at his father, seeing that his father likes his foot so much, the little guy lifts up the other one very filially, and puts his mouth close to his father's face with a grin.

A faint smell wafted over, and Lu Cheng came back to his senses, looking at his son's little stinky foot that hadn't been wiped yet, the tenderness in his eyes was gone.
