Lady Zhao

Chapter 78

The winter sky is sinking very fast, the last twilight of the sunset is gone, the cold wind is whistling, and fine snow particles are starting to float in the sky.

The three-bedroom courtyard is brightly lit, and there are many people standing in the room. Even the old lady is leaning on a cane with a complex expression. Looking at the person lying on the bed, she frowned. A little old.Dr. Yuan sat on the small stool by the bed, checked the pulse carefully and then withdrew his hands. When he turned his head, he met the old lady's longing gaze and sighed.

"My condolences to the old lady, the blessing of the third grandma's child...is not kept."

The fluke hanging in the old lady's heart was completely broken, and she staggered a little bit. Fortunately, there was Yang's mother standing behind her and supporting her with concern.Zhao Hongming, who had been standing by the side all the time, waited for Doctor Yuan to get out of the way, and sat on the edge of the bed, grasping Xu's hand, with a sad expression on his face.

"Child! Master... my child..." Xu muttered, clutching the quilt tightly with one hand, gradually collapsing.

"Madam's health is important, maybe there is no chance..." Zhao Hongming said with a choked voice.

Xu's pupils suddenly widened, her already pale complexion looked particularly terrifying, her knuckles clutching the quilt were so hard that they turned white, as if they were about to be crushed, tears fell down, and she said in a high-pitched voice, "Yes. It was Zhao Wenwan's fault, she and I have never dealt with each other, if she hadn't pushed me, my child wouldn't have survived!"

Zhao Hongming's face was also ugly when he heard the words. If the incident in the early years could be said to be an accident, but this time, someone saw that it was the pushing and shoving of the two arguing. in the eyes.Wen Wan's temperament is also arrogant and willful. When there was a quarrel, it should be considered that Mrs. Xu was pregnant with a child, but she made a move, and now she is standing in the courtyard like a punishment... What is this called!

Mrs. Zhao also had a very headache. Xu's stern and angry curses were intertwined with crying, which disturbed her ears and her mind became more and more dizzy. She felt sorry for her granddaughter who had been standing outside for a long time, but watching this scene Can't say anything.

Doctor Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing the chaotic scene in the room, he finally sealed his mouth, stepped back and ordered the decoction.

The lantern under the eaves was blown by the wind, showing the slender silhouette of the woman standing in the snow, upright, the scolding in the room could be heard faintly, snow particles fell on Zhao Wenwan's hair, and the eyebrows were slightly drooping. Face, I can't see the expression clearly.

When Dr. Yuan left with the consultation box on his back, he saw his footsteps paused, and finally shook his head helplessly and walked away.Zhao Wenwan stared at Doctor Yuan's figure, her eyes turned dark, and she felt the world was spinning, and then she fell into a cold place.

"It's not good, the eldest miss has passed out!"

In a trance, someone put a hot and humid veil on his forehead, but Zhao Wenwan felt hot and wanted to escape, but he was exhausted. The whole body seemed to be floating in the vast ocean, drifting with the current, and the voice in his ears was far and near, and he couldn't hear it clearly. .

"Missy's typhoid fever is just right. I have stood in the garden for a long time, and it is still snowing. Can you not torment your body!"

Holding the medicine, Xueyan squinted at Baochan who was wiping Zhao Wenwan's forehead while thinking, walked to the edge of the bed, and sighed, "Now the old lady let the young lady take care of her body first, so she can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

After carefully feeding two mouthfuls, the brown soup flowed down the corner of Zhao Wenwan's mouth. Xueyan hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, seeing Zhao Wenwan's expression full of worry.She followed Zhao Wenwan all the time, and naturally saw that Xu did it on purpose, but no one believed her words, but the servants who saw her not far away made everyone believe that it was Zhao Wenwan who made a move with Xu. .

Seeing that the medicine couldn't be poured in, Xueyan frowned and put it down. Although she didn't agree with the eldest lady torturing her body like this, she still knew her intentions somewhat. Xu became the most pitiful victim. If the eldest lady didn't let her I'm afraid this bitter plan will intensify the rumors, which will be even more detrimental to the eldest lady.

"Water..." A weak voice came out, Zhao Wenwan's eyelids trembled, as if he was struggling to wake up, his opened eyes were dazed for a moment, and they slowly focused when they saw the person guarding the bed , to restore a trace of clarity.

Baochan hastily brought over the still warm boiled water, helped Zhao Wenwan to sit up, fed her a few sips, her face was not lacking in joy, "Miss, you've woken up, but if you feel uncomfortable, I'll go Doctor Yuan, please come and have a look!"

Zhao Wenwan took a few sips, let Baochan put away the teacup, and said in a hoarse voice, "No need." Then she slowly sat up with her hand, leaned against the bed, and returned to her thoughts.

Even if it's a bitter plan, before we can figure out a countermeasure, we can only procrastinate.Then she smiled self-deprecatingly, this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, but seeing how it develops later, Xu's framed her cruelly this time, she really couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.

Seeing that she was frowning, Xueyan seemed to be uncomfortable, so she let Baochan make room, and rubbed the acupuncture points on Zhao Wenwan's forehead by herself. "Doctor Yuan confirmed the diagnosis, but the child was not saved. The third grandma cried and quarreled for most of the night. Now there is no movement, and she probably has a rest."

"You should be tired after scolding for a long time." Zhao Wenwan closed his eyes and said casually.

Xueyan also recalled the scolding voices coming from the third-fang grandma's room, she was so angry that she didn't look like someone who lost a child... Just thinking about it, the movements of her hands paused for a while, and then continued , I thought to myself that I was thinking too much, the pregnancy was diagnosed by Doctor Yuan before, there is no mistake.

Baochan is impatient, seeing the indifferent appearance of the two, she turned away in the room in a hurry, and couldn't help muttering, "The third grandma didn't deal with the young lady, she deliberately relied on the young lady, and everyone who didn't know thought it was the young lady." Damn it, with such a reputation as a murderer, even the old lady can't help... Well, speaking of it, if it wasn't for the small troubles, the young lady wouldn't be able to..."

"Where's the little guy?" Zhao Wenwan thought of a bird that ran away after hearing the words.

"Here, here I am, squatting in the corner with my head slumped since I came back, I guess I am reflecting." Baochan pointed to a corner of the room, with a trace of helplessness.

Zhao Wenwan swept over, and sure enough, he met a pair of round beans in the corner. He probably knew that he had gotten into trouble, and moved his paws forward and then back down. He opened his eyes, showing hesitation.

"Okay, I don't blame you, let's come here." Zhao Wenwan looked at it and wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh at the current situation, Xu Shi was fighting with herself, even if she didn't have this little thing, she might not be able to escape the scheme.

The parrot raised its small head and looked at her carefully, and saw that she really had no intention of pursuing it and flew towards her. As soon as she got close, Zhao Wenwan grabbed the hair of her tail. You Mao Mao’s threatening meaning frightened a certain beauty-loving bird to froze, and with its fluffy short neck, it yelled distressedly, "Mao Mao Mao Mao..."

"I still know your hair, why didn't you think about it when you left me early in the morning!" Zhao Wenwan raised his eyebrows viciously, and deliberately increased the strength of his hands.

"Yes, yes, yes...something!"

Zhao Wenwan was stunned when he heard that, you little bastard still has something to do, so he raised his eyes and asked, "What else can you do?"

"That, that, that, that!" The parrot flapped its wings beggingly, pointing anxiously at one place, and when Zhao Wenwan let go, it hurriedly flew back to the place where it had been, and flew back with something in its mouth.

"Ah——" Baochan cried out in fright when he saw the bloody thing on its mouth at first glance.

The parrot also surprised her, the object fell on the ground, Xueyan boldly picked it up, it was thin and transparent, but she couldn't see what it was.

"The ugly monster threw it away, I picked it up!" The parrot didn't understand clearly, but it made the listener understand, it was probably Xu who threw it out, but told it to pick it up, no wonder it flew away at that time...

"Where have I seen this?" Baochan came back to his senses, staring at the thing with some disgust, frowning and thinking hard.

Xueyan also frowned, and when she didn't know what to do, Zhao Wenwan stopped her and took a closer look.A pungent smell of medicine penetrated into his nostrils, and Zhao Wenwan frowned immediately. It was different from the smell of medicine that permeated his own room, but it was slightly opposite, so it was quite obvious, as if... had he smelled it on someone?
——Ms. Xu!A flash of spiritual light suddenly flashed, Zhao Wenwan suddenly became enlightened, and then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

The parrot saw Zhao Wenwan's eyes suddenly darken and remained silent, and hopped its paws to get closer, but Zhao Wenwan picked it up again before it got close, as if to check its beak, and then threw it to Baochan, "It's so dirty , go clean it up."

"..." A certain bird who hated bathing and followed the former owner's obsession with cleanliness was dumbfounded.

As Xu's former personal servant girl, Aunt Rong wanted to take a look at her master and wife Xu, she should be reasonable and reasonable, but Mama Sun tried to dissuade her, and she just said that she would look at her with her stomach upright. Others seemed to be showing off, Aunt Rong was so frightened that she broke into cold sweat and even said that it was meaningless, so she sent Mama Sun to take the food that Aunt Rong made herself.

The night was deep and the surrounding was silent. When Mama Sun went, Mrs. Xu was throwing a temper tantrum in the room, and drove all the maids and women who were serving her close by outside. Aunt Rong's face was not embarrassing.

Mama Sun didn't stay for long, and when she came out with the food box, her face was not very good-looking.Others didn't dare to ask, for fear of getting into trouble, they all guessed that Xu's speech was bad.

After Sun's mother left, the Xu family in the room disappeared.A parrot with green feathers suddenly flew out from the dark place of the eaves. It stepped on the icy roof tiles with its red paws. It almost missed the ground and slipped down from the top. Mrs. Xu who was lying on the bed asked very sharply One sentence, "What's happening outside?"

The startled one hastily meowed like a cat.

The guarding servant girl trotted outside and poked her head, seeing that there was nothing in the dark outside, she replied that it was a wild cat.

The little parrot was grabbing the corner of the eaves in a difficult posture with its tail between its legs. The moment the maid closed the door, it was so shocked that it could no longer hold on. It turned its head over with a grunt, and fell straight to the ground. In the snowdrift, there may be no movement.After a while, a round head suddenly popped up on the snow-white ground, shaking like bean sprouts, and seemed a little dizzy, crawled out of the snowdrift and shook its feathers, still dizzy Fly towards Xiangzhu Garden.

Just arrived at the garden, just in time for Baochan to see her carrying a wooden bucket of hot water, the little parrot landed on her shoulder and nodded her head.Baochan was overjoyed, you must know that this little guy only likes to be close to good-looking people on weekdays, especially clinging to the eldest lady, now he is willing to get close to her, just to satisfy his little vanity, he just looks at the latter with drooping fluff Leaning back comfortably, he squeezed his throat and urged, "Drive—"

Baochan's face turned blue silently, her feelings were treated as a car, and she quarreled with it angrily, "I haven't seen you these two nights, where did you go to play?"

The parrot turned its head and didn't care at all, Baochan had no choice but to continue to look blue, carrying water to the room.

Opening the door and entering the room, it was warm, and every person and bird couldn't help shaking the chill from their bodies. As soon as the latter saw Zhao Wenwan, he immediately flew over obsequiously, and threw it away after using it up without the slightest nostalgia.

Holding the heater in his hand, Zhao Wenwan reached out to catch the little thing when it came flying, and rubbed its furry head. The warmth made a certain bird rub it comfortably, and the little black bean's eyes narrowed into slits. , and then caught a glimpse of Zhao Yuanli sitting opposite, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Beauty, is there a pendant missing, the kind that can fly?"

"..." Zhao Wenwan snatched a certain bird that was about to rush forward desperately, and his intuition was dull.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Yuanli laughed after being stunned for a moment, and felt very amused when he saw the parrot that Zhao Wenwan was grabbing and still being lustful, "When did Wanwan raise it? Is it going to be mature?"

Zhao Wenwan also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt that this bird was so clever that it could become a master every minute.Fortunately, the little guy can also judge the situation, knowing how to look at her face, not to go too far, just like at this moment, when Zhao Yuanli salivated a few words, he honestly blinked at Heidou, with an idiot look on his face.

After being interrupted by the little thing, the originally heavy atmosphere became a little more relaxed. Zhao Yuanli took a look at Zhao Wenwan for a while, seeing that she seemed not to be affected by the rumors in the mansion, and still had such a calm look, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart. Well, it's good for Wanwan to restrain her temper, but I'm also afraid that she will be bored with everything.

Dark eyes flickered with hidden emotions, and his tone was as gentle as usual, just like a spring breeze, but with a trace of unquestionable calmness, he said slowly: "Brother knows you are innocent, tomorrow when grandma asks a question, just say that Tell the truth today, and then leave it to me to handle it.”

"Brother, we have nothing to prove this time. Who would believe that the third aunt uses the child she longs for day and night as a bargaining chip to frame me." Zhao Wenwan lowered her eyes slightly, showing helplessness.

Zhao Yuanli frowned. It was indeed inconvenient for him to intervene in the affairs of the inner house, but it was related to Wanwan. Even if it was not easy, he would try his best to find evidence to prove her innocence.

"As long as I'm here, you won't be wronged." If there is any blame, he should stand in the way.

Zhao Wenwan raised his eyes and looked at the serious expression of his elder brother. The deep playfulness in his eyes faded instantly, and he said in a low voice, "Brother..."

The latter understood instantly, and the corners of his slender eyes, which were very similar to Zhao Wenwan's, slanted and narrowed slightly.

Being stared at, Zhao Wenwan smiled embarrassingly, "I just want to tease big brother!"

A trace of helplessness flashed across Zhao Yuanli's face, he laughed and shook his head, at any time, her good sister would still be thinking of teasing him.Now the matter is imminent, and with Third Aunt's temperament, she will not give up until the world is turned upside down. The child she lost in the past was a beast without eyes. This time, so many people are watching... Zhao Yuanli thought with some headaches.

Now Zhao Wenwan comforted the elder brother, pursed his lips and smiled deeply, and said mysteriously: "Don't worry, elder brother, the one who did something wrong will definitely be punished tomorrow, just watch."

Zhao Yuanli raised his eyebrows, "Don't tell me?"

Zhao Wenwan approached, whispered in his ear, and finally pouted his chin at the idiot bird, "Well, it's all up to it, if I get punished tomorrow, I'll pluck its fur and make me a fur collar Change your mood."

The little thing straightened his body with a whoosh, with a sky-falling expression, which made both of them laugh.
