good wife

Chapter 16 Double Strike
Bai Shi and Jing Wei knelt down to Gu Shi and said, "Thank you Madam (mother)!"

Bai Shi and Jing Wei backed out.The others went back to their rooms, changed their clothes, and freshened up.They gathered in the front hall and had dinner together, and then they dispersed.

Jingyi was walking back to the yard, a little absent-minded.Twice, almost hit a tree.

Behind her, Mother He said: "Miss, what's the matter? From the meal just now, the servants noticed that there was something wrong with you, but why did you feel uncomfortable? Could it be that your head hurts again?"

Jingyi smiled and said, "Nurse, how long has it been, why do I still have a headache?"

At this time, a maid hurriedly ran over and said, "Second Miss, Second Miss, wait a minute. Old Master, the old lady's place is not good!"

Jingyi's heart 'thumped', her grandfather was fine during the meal just now, why did he suddenly become unwell?

Accompanied by several people, Jingyi hurried to her grandfather's yard.Grandfather rested in the outer courtyard tonight, and when Jingyi rushed over, the people in the house were basically full.

The old man was lying on a soft couch in the side hall, and the doctor was checking his pulse.Jing Yi glanced at it, and it seemed that the doctor had changed. When she was injured earlier, it was not this person who changed her dressing on weekdays.

Jingyi stood aside quietly, watching the busy figures of the crowd.She squinted at the old lady sitting beside her, and saw that her face was full of worry, her eyes were fixed on the old man lying on the couch, her loose hands were tightly grasping the crutches, and the bulging veins could be seen faintly .

After a while, the old man woke up slowly, and everyone looked at him nervously.Su Wei asked Xiangfu doctor: "Why is the old man so faint?"

The mansion doctor replied: "Back to Lord Hou, the old man was hit suddenly. Now that he wakes up, he will be fine. The little one will prescribe a prescription for the old man first, and immediately order someone to make the medicine."

Su Wei nodded and waved his hand to signal him to back down.

Su Wei stepped forward to help the old doctor up on the couch, and Mrs. Gu hurriedly put two pillows on the back, brought another cup of tea, and served the old man to drink.

The old man cleared his throat, motioned for all the servants to retreat, and closed the door.

Everyone understood that this was the old man who had something to say.Everyone held their breaths quietly, just waiting to hear the old man's reprimand.

The old man called Jingyi to his side, looked around at the crowd, and looked at Su Wei with a solemn expression: "It's all your incompetent third brother! You are a good prefect, but you don't know how to do it properly. Bullying men and women is now being imprisoned by the governor of Shandong."

When the old lady heard this, she trembled all over, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Cheng'er? Father, you have to think of a way to rescue him! Cheng'er has never suffered any crimes since he was a child, what should we do? "

The old man glanced at the old lady, saw that his nose was full of tears, his brows were frowned, and he turned to look at Su Wei: "I just want to tell you today that no one can help that scoundrel! He stays inside for a while, so that he can reflect on himself! He doesn’t know how to do things well all day long, and only thinks about some nonsense things. Now that he’s in trouble, who can we blame?”

After hearing this, the old lady stopped crying, and said with a choked voice: "Master, I know that this matter is Cheng'er's fault, but he is your biological son after all! Besides, if Wei'er's real brother sits Prison, isn’t it just to discredit the Pingnan Hou Mansion? Old man, I know that you are angry, but no matter how angry you are, you have to find a way to get him out.”

The old man snorted softly and didn't speak.

Su Wei said: "Father, mother is right. It is my younger brother. How can I really ignore him. According to my son, it is better to find the local magistrate. First clarify the situation and see if the third brother committed a crime. What's the matter? That's how we get started."

The old man closed his eyes, took a long breath and said, "Wei'er, you are kind-hearted. Daddy knows it well. But don't think about it. Your current official position and title are all because of you." You earned it a little bit, especially the title of Marquis Ping Nan. You risked your life in exchange for it. You are the glory of my Su family! If you miss your future because of your useless younger brother, then What should I do? How can I treat the ancestors of the Su family?"

Speaking of this, the old man waved his hand and said: "You don't have to meddle in this matter!" He glared at the old lady again: "You don't have to meddle either! If you let me know who meddled in that bastard's affairs, I will kill you!" He kicked out of the house!"

Xu Shi spoke a little anxiously, but actually coughed.Jingyi hurriedly patted the back of the old man, and then smoothed the air on the old man's chest with her small hands, and it was all right.

The old man looked at Jingyi approvingly, then looked at Su Ming and Su Qian, and sighed: "Oh! Weier, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your children." I think. They are getting older, especially Qinger, who is already twelve this year, you must think about their future."

Su Wei was silent after hearing this, but the old lady was anxious and wanted to say something again, but when she turned her head and was glared at by the old lady, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything more.

Jingyi looked at the expressions of several people in the room, and thought to herself: This old lady is not her own grandmother, she is the stepmother of her father and second uncle, she has only one son, third uncle, and a daughter married far away Jiangnan.It would be impossible if she was not allowed to take care of third uncle's affairs.But if she is a woman, if she does something out of the ordinary.For example, to publicize that father doesn't care about brotherhood, in this way, father will be passive.

Thinking of this, Jing Yi rolled her eyes, and she thought about it, and she called out sweetly: "Grandpa! Don't be angry, Grandpa, we are by your side."

When the old man heard what his precious granddaughter had said, he smiled lightly and said, "Good boy, grandpa didn't love you for nothing."

Jingyi smiled and said: "Grandpa, Yiyi doesn't understand what you adults said, but grandpa taught me and my brothers since we were young, that fathers are kind and sons are filial, brothers and friends are respectful, and family harmony can make everything happy. Grandpa, even if the third uncle has Wrong, but it is also your child, the younger brother of the father. If you refuse to find someone to help him, isn’t it contradicting what you usually teach us? Then in the future, will Yiyi still listen to your teachings? If you do , and do you want to do as you taught?"

When the old man heard it, his granddaughter was persuading him to find a way to save the third child.Couldn't help laughing angrily, and poked Jingyi's forehead with her finger: "You ghost girl!"

Jingyi smiled, lowered her head, and stopped talking.She knew in her heart that this grandpa was showing signs of letting go.In this matter, as long as father intervenes and protects third uncle, it should not be difficult.How can such a small matter really affect his father's official reputation and future?It's just a moment of anger from the old man, and he said some angry words.Even if she doesn't persuade grandpa today, he will figure it out in two days, and he still has to find a way to save third uncle.That being the case, why not say it yourself first, and let the old lady and the third uncle betray her?
