History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 16

He Weijie walked in the front, and Lin Lang sat close to the door and followed him closely.As soon as the hall door was opened, someone suddenly bumped into him under the bright moonlight, knocking Lin Lang who was standing by the door to the ground.Lin Lang didn't care about the pain, so she looked over and saw that He Jinyu's face was pale, and she had already knelt down in front of the hall with a plop, crying, "Master, please forgive me, I won't take that medicine!"

He Wentao suddenly got up and covered her mouth, He Weijie hurriedly helped Lin Lang up, and led everyone out.

Qingyuan Hall is the largest courtyard in He Mansion, a row of chrysanthemums are planted in the south of the courtyard, and a gazebo is next to the wisteria trellis. At this moment, all the servants have withdrawn to the outside of the courtyard, and He Weijie took a few people to wait in the gazebo.

Linlang was hit hard just now, but now her shoulders are still aching, He Xuanji said a few words of concern, saying it's okay to see her, so she sat down hand in hand.In the living room, He Wentao's scolding and He Jinyu's intermittent crying could be heard vaguely, mixed with the old man's voice, "I can't stay!"

A few people stood outside. He Weikun was He Jinyu's elder brother. He probably heard what happened today. He stood in front of Lin Lang with a cold face and asked, "You are the one who asked the doctor to feel Jinyu's pulse today." ?”

He, a man who had married long ago, forced Lin Lang to question him, and he was very imposing, but Lin Lang was not afraid of him, and just said: "Yes, Second Sister looks bad, I'll ask the doctor to take a look."

"You did it on purpose!" He Weikun took a step forward and wanted to ask questions, but He Weijie stopped him and said, "Second brother, what are you doing?"

He Weikun pointed at Lin Lang, "Brother, get out of the way, the second sister is fine, she caused all this incident tonight!" His eyes were fierce, and he actually pushed all the blame on Lin Lang's head.

The Erfang family really has the same virtues, and they are the most prone to anger!Lin Lang snorted coldly and wanted to refute, He Xuanji stood beside her and protected her behind, and He Weijie in front said: "The old man has already made a judgment on which is right and which is not. The sixth sister is kind enough to let the doctor feel the pulse. Second brother, don't get angry!"

After all, he is the elder brother. He Weijie usually has a gentle spring breeze, but he can calm people down when he has a straight face.He Weikun couldn't get out of breath, An Shi behind him pulled the hem of his clothes, he stood for a long time before he let out a snort, and walked away with An Shi.Only He Weijie and his wife, He Xuanji, Lin Lang and He Shanhu were left in the gazebo.

Because He Shanhu's father is a concubine, although he is also a concubine's daughter, he is very silent on weekdays and doesn't interact with others much.Seeing that there was nothing to do with her at the moment, he said goodbye to He Weijie and went back with the little maid.

Here Lin Lang was protected by He Xuanji, and she felt warm in her heart.She wasn't afraid of He Weikun, since the old man was still there anyway, even if she couldn't beat him in terms of momentum, and shouted loudly, it must be He Weikun who suffered.But He Weijie and He Xuanji's protecting her like this really warmed her heart.

He Weijie was still thinking about the fall just now, and said: "Go back and ask someone to take a look, don't scratch anything. I just saw you walking with a limp, what's wrong?"

"Today I was going to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha to offer incense, but when I went down the mountain, I sprained my ankle, so I went to the Zhuangzi to show it to the doctor. I'm fine now." She pulled He Xuanji and Jiang to sit down, and asked anxiously : "I wanted the doctor to see if the second sister was cured, but...the old man won't blame me, will he?"

"No." He Weijie said decisively: "It's because the second younger brother doesn't know good people, so don't get to know him."

At this moment, the moon is on the willow branches, and the stars are shining in the night sky, shining like a layer of hoarfrost on the ground.He Weijie and the others were originally full of curiosity about what happened today, but they didn't dare to bring it up again because of the order of the old man. Moreover, they were infected by the gloomy atmosphere in the living room, and they all quietly stopped talking.

After a long time, He Jinyu's weeping and begging could be vaguely heard in the room again. The door opened, and Mrs. He came out angrily, scolding: "Wen Tao, take care of her, don't be crazy!" He no longer went to rest in the back room, strode out of the yard, presumably to go to the study to rest.

After a while, the He Wenhan couple and the He Wenzhan couple came out with dull expressions on their faces. Seeing that the children were still in the yard, they beckoned them to come and go back together.

The second lady at the back helped the old lady out and sent her to the main room. Lin Lang and the others had to salute and send her off.In a blink of an eye, He Wentao dragged He Jinyu out with a cold and angry look on his face.He Jinyu cried until her eyes were red and swollen, her clothes and hair were messed up, and she staggered along in a trance, but when she saw Lin Lang, she suddenly seemed to regain her energy, and her eyes went out like knives, which made Lin Lang's back go numb.

Lin Lang clenched her fists and stood still, knowing that Erfang must hate her, but she didn't regret it at all.

The matter of He Jinyu was exposed, and with the old man suppressing her, her reputation outside would definitely not be damaged. At most, she would be severely punished at home and lose face, but her parents and brothers were all well.Compared to Erfang's cruelty to Qin and Jiang, her move was nothing, so Lin Lang didn't feel guilty at all.

When returning to Lanling Courtyard, she was on the same road with He Weijie and his wife. Thinking about Jiang's having a child and the matter of the sachet, Qin couldn't help saying a few words of concern and telling her some things to pay attention to during pregnancy.Jiang Shi also asked Qin Shi to take care of her body and pray for the safety of the baby in her womb. After saying this all the way, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
