Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 13

The homecoming banquet prepared by Dong Yuanwai for Yuzhi was really lively. Although Wen Zhaoling tried his best to refuse to drink, he was still drunk a lot.Yuzhi was a little nervous when she saw this, because usually people who drink alcohol either have a normal complexion or a flushed complexion, but Wen Zhaoling's complexion is getting paler and paler. If you look closely, you can even see fine beads of sweat on his face .

Yuzhi remembered that before leaving, Fuqin mentioned that Mrs. Wen specifically explained that Wen Zhaoling was not allowed to drink alcohol, and she became more and more worried. If something happened to Wen Zhaoling at Dong's house, it would be troublesome.But it's not good for Yuzhi to speak out directly to prevent everyone from persuading Wen Zhaoling to drink, because he will definitely be laughed at.

She thought for a while, then quietly got up and walked to the side seat of Wen Zhaoling, stood behind her father, leaned over and whispered something in his ear.Member Dong listened, glanced at Wen Zhaoling, nodded to her, and patted her hand reassuringly, and Yuzhi went back to her seat with peace of mind.She knew that the Wen family didn't tell the Dong family about Wen Zhaoling's poor health, so what she told Dong Yuanwai just now was that Wen Zhaoling didn't know how to drink, and Mrs. Tai had specifically explained that the two had to go back as soon as possible.

After a while, Dong Yuanwai got up and said a few words for Wen Zhaoling, blocking other people's toasts for him.Most of the people sitting at the banquet today were relatives and friends from the same clan of the Dong family, who were specially invited to accompany them. Now that the main family has spoken, the few people who were so lively before stopped, and Wen Zhaoling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The banquet didn't end until the afternoon, and Yuzhi kept staring at Wen Zhaoling nervously, fearing that something would happen to him, and it would be bad luck for her to return to Wen's house.The servants started to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, but she finally moved quietly to Wen Zhaoling's side, reached out and tugged at his sleeve, motioning him to follow her.

Wen Zhaoling glanced at her in surprise, and then at the few people in front of him. Member Dong saw the actions of the young couple, but he thought it was the two newlyweds who had a good relationship, so he just smiled and turned away. He turned his head as if he hadn't seen it.The rest of the people had already got up and went to the flower hall to drink tea, and some people just said goodbye and left, and no one paid any attention to him.Seeing this, Wen Zhaoling followed Yuzhi's wishes and planned to go out with her, but when he got up, his body shook violently, and Yuzhi hurriedly supported him behind him in fright, screaming in his heart that he was finished.

With his appearance, she had confirmed her worries.

Wen Zhaoling stabilized his figure, smiled apologetically at her, and glanced at Dong Yuanwai again. Fortunately, he didn't look this way, and was about to get up to say goodbye to the guests.He stretched out his hand to hold Yuzhi's hand, but it was very hard. It looked like holding hands, but in fact it was more like borrowing strength.

Yuzhi leaned towards him, and Wen Zhaoling almost leaned on her and walked out the door slowly.Que Ya'er was helping to clean up the dishes, but when Yu Zhi went out, she happened to see her return to the living room, so she quickly gave her a wink.Que Ya'er looked at Wen Zhaoling's expression, and quickly stepped forward to support the other side, and the two of them worked together to help him to the boudoir where Yuzhi lived before she got married.After walking for a while, several people were sweating all over.

Not long after entering the room, Wen Zhaoling coughed suddenly as soon as he sat down next to the table, as if he had been holding it in for a long time, and couldn't stop, his face flushed because of coughing.Yuzhi didn't know what to do for a while, so she reached out her hand behind his back to help him breathe, while directing Que Ya'er to pour him water.

Que Ya'er was also frightened, seeing Wen Zhaoling looking good before, how could he be like this after a meal?Due to nervousness, she was scalded when pouring water, but she didn't care about it, and quickly handed the cup to Yuzhi.Yuzhi patted Wen Zhaoling's back with one hand, and brought the cup close to his lips with the other. Wen Zhaoling's cough eased a bit, and just as he was about to drink the glass of water, a mouthful of blood suddenly spilled out of his mouth, spraying all of it into the cup, and immediately The glass of water was stained bright red.

Yuzhi let go of her hand in fright, and the cup immediately fell to the ground and shattered, leaving only a puddle of blood.

Only then did Wen Zhaoling stop coughing completely, raised his hand to wipe away the blood stains on his lips, glanced at her, and said weakly: "Yuzhi, don't panic, just help me to lie on the bed for a while."

Yuzhi looked at him suspiciously and hesitated, but Wen Zhaoling nodded to her firmly, and then she called Que Ya'er to help her move Wen Zhaoling to the bed in the inner room.Yuzhi covered him with a quilt, and Wen Zhaoling seemed extremely exhausted, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

As soon as Wen Zhaoling fell asleep, Yuzhi rushed out of the room in a hurry, startled Que Yaer, and hurriedly chased her out to take a look, only to see her leaning against the door, clutching her chest and gasping for breath, it took a long time Spit out a sentence: "My mother..."

Que Ya'er stepped forward and tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Miss, has my uncle's illness relapsed?"

Yuzhi turned her head and looked at her, with the panic still in her eyes, "How would I know, I just remembered that he vomited blood just now." She sighed, "It will be troublesome if my mother-in-law finds out."

Que Ya'er stamped her feet anxiously, "I would have let the wet nurse come back with me if I knew it earlier, if she was here, she must have an idea."

Yuzhi took two deep breaths, finally calmed down, waved his hands and said: "Okay, what's the use of talking about it now, it's true to think of a way to heal him first."

Que Ya'er answered immediately: "Then I'll call the doctor right away."

"No." Yuzhi pulled her back, "Don't forget, even my father and aunt don't know about his poor health. How could the Wen family let outsiders know? I heard him mention that he used to treat illnesses with care. There are dedicated doctors, and there are special channels for buying medicines, if you go outside and find a doctor, isn't it equivalent to proclaiming the world?"

Que Ya'er lost her mind when she heard it, "Then what should we do? We can't just wait like this, can we?"

Yuzhi paced around on the spot for a few steps, but also had no idea, so she sighed dejectedly, "Forget it, let's wait. Didn't he say that it would be better if he took a rest? Let's wait and see the result first."

Que Ya'er had no choice but to nod, but her expression was very worried, "But didn't Mrs. Tai tell us to go back early?"

Yuzhi also thought of this when she reminded her, and immediately became anxious, "Then... let's send a letter back and talk about it, saying that we will go back tomorrow."

Que Ya'er said with a bitter face: "There must be a good reason, our Dong family and the Wen family are not separated by thousands of miles, and the Wen family has specifically explained that if we don't go back suddenly, it will always be difficult to justify. "

Of course Yuzhi knew this too, but it was absolutely impossible to go back like this now.She walked back and forth a few more steps, finally thought of a way, and said to Que Ya'er: "You stay here and watch, I will talk to my father and let him come forward and talk."

Only then did Que Ya'er heave a sigh of relief, and nodded again and again, "Okay, Miss, hurry up, I'll stay here."

Yuzhi hurriedly ran to the front yard to look for Dong Yuanwai.

The servants in the front yard had almost packed the banquet, and most of the guests had left, some of them were elders of the clan. Yuan Wai was chatting with them in the flower hall, and when Yu Zhi arrived, he could hear them praising Wen Zhaoling Without a word, everyone said that Dong Yuanwai was blessed to have such a good-looking son-in-law.

Yuzhi listened by the door for a while, then sighed helplessly, that beautiful son-in-law was lying weakly in her room.

Just thinking about whether to go in directly to find Director Dong, Mrs. Zhou came over with a plate of snacks, seeing Yuzhi by the door was a little strange, she smiled and teased her: "I didn't see you just now, I thought you were with me Boyu has gone, why is he stuck here again now?"

Yuzhi rushed forward as if seeing a savior, pulled her aside and said in a low voice, "Auntie, call my father out for me."

Zhou looked at her, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Yuzhi was shocked in her heart, but her face was calm, she kept her usual gentle smile, "Why, what happened? I just wanted to tell him that I wanted to stay at home tonight, but the Wen family told us to go back earlier , I don’t dare to deliver the letter, I just want to ask Dad to go out.”

Mrs. Zhou smiled dotingly at her, "So that's the case, don't worry, I'll tell your father, he might be happy, and it will definitely be done."

Yuzhi finally let go of the big stone in her heart, and felt a lot more relaxed. She bowed to her, and hurried back to her boudoir.

Que Ya'er greeted her as soon as she saw her, "How is it, Miss?"

"Okay, it's okay, we'll go back tomorrow."

Que Ya'er was relieved now, and said to Yu Zhi: "Miss, I just heard my uncle making some noises inside, you'd better go in and have a look."

Yuzhi nodded, "Then you stay here and watch, don't let anyone come in and see."

Que Ya'er hurriedly made an assurance, and Yu Zhi stepped into the room.

Wen Zhaoling slept a little restlessly, his face was still covered with fine beads of sweat, Yuzhi was afraid that he would catch a cold if he continued like this, so he went outside and asked Que Ya'er to fetch a basin of hot water, intending to wipe his sweat off.

Que Ya'er's hands and feet were quick, and the water came quickly. Yuzhi told her to stay outside and pay attention to the movement, and rolled up her sleeves to wipe Wen Zhaoling's sweat.

When the quilt was lifted, Yuzhi realized something was wrong. Wen Zhaoling's clothes at the neckline were pressed against his skin, and she seemed to be soaked in sweat. She touched his forehead, but it didn't feel hot. She thought it was a fever.Gently helping him wipe off the sweat on his face, Wen Zhaoling woke up suddenly, looked at Yuzhi with half-opened eyes and smiled, "Did it scare you?"

Seeing that he woke up, and he didn't seem to be unusual, Yuzhi relaxed a lot, "I'm fine, it's good to see that you're fine now." She was indeed frightened, but it was much better when the panic passed.

Wen Zhaoling seemed a little uncomfortable, pulled the sweaty clothes on his body, but covered the quilt tightly again. "It's nothing serious. You don't have to worry. I have a cold body and I'm too alcoholic. It's just a collision. If I spit out the blood, I'll be fine. When I cover my body with sweat, I'll be fine tomorrow."

Yuzhi let out a long sigh of relief, "That's great, I'll go tell my father, let him come forward to say hello to the Wen family, and say we'll go back tomorrow."

Wen Zhaoling smiled slightly, "That's fine, otherwise my mother will blame you when I go back."

Yuzhi pursed her lips, thinking that it wasn't so.

Wen Zhaoling fell into a deep sleep again, Yuzhi tucked the quilt for him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked out holding the washbasin.Que Ya'er took the washbasin and was about to take it out when she suddenly saw Mrs. Zhou walking towards this side, and quickly called out: "Ah, madam is here?"

Yuzhi was taken aback, quickly closed the door, and walked out quickly, "Auntie, why are you here?"

Zhou covered her lips and smiled, "Look at you, what are you doing in the room with Bo Yu in broad daylight? There are elders in the clan outside, so you don't ask him to accompany you for a while."

Yuzhi looked at Zhou in embarrassment, "Here...he drank too much just now and just fell asleep."

"Oh? Drunk?" Zhou nodded, "Okay, I'll go talk to them right now, tell them not to wait, and go back."

Yuzhi nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, Aunt Lao is here."

Mrs. Zhou walked outside the door, suddenly remembered something, turned around and smiled at her: "Yuzhi, it's fine for you to stay here now, but don't stay for too long, according to the etiquette, since you are staying at home tonight, you can't talk to the new My uncle is in the same room, remember to ask Que Ya'er to tidy up a side room and come out later."

Yuzhi blushed, and hurriedly responded, Mrs. Zhou laughed again when she saw her like this, and went out to the front yard.

Seeing her walking away, Yuzhi wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a heavy sigh of relief.
