Chapter 255 Female Praying Mantis
"Second Master..." With a grief-stricken cry, Qiu's tattoo was shaped like leaves in the wind, and he knelt precariously at Cheng Xunxun's feet.
Yu Zhu looked at her nose and heart, and sat aside - it was better for her to be a listener at this moment.
Cheng Xunxun's eyes swept across Qiu Wen's face, his expression softened slightly, "Get up and answer."
Qiu Wen did not get up, and even walked a few steps on his knees, fell on Cheng Xunxun's knees and cried: "I'm afraid my brother will die..."
Cheng Xunxun didn't say anything, and his tears soaked through the hem of his robe, staining the royal blue satin fabric with a large area of dark and flowing ink blue.
For a moment, you could hear a needle drop in the room, and all you could hear was Qiu Wen's hoarse crying and a few vague words.
Yu Zhu listened quietly, but his eyes glanced at the silent man.
——What will he do?
After half a cup of tea, the crying gradually subsided, and only bursts of sobs still sounded from time to time.
Cheng Xunxun was about to speak when his mother-in-law came in and reported, "Here are the lotus flowers."
Then a hazy-colored woman wearing a long coat with embroidered waist and collar came in with her head lowered. She was thin and thin. Although her facial features were not outstanding, her complexion was extremely white, and her whole body was as translucent as a porcelain doll.
"Greetings to the Second Master and Madam." Hehua knelt down solemnly.
Mother Ruan got the signal and asked: "Hehua, I have something to ask you. You must answer truthfully."
"Yes." He Hua said respectfully, raising her chin slightly, but still staring at the small area in front of her knees.
"I heard that you usually serve alone at the bedside. How hard is it to take care of patients?" Ruan Ma's voice was very gentle: "What are your mother-in-law and your man's wife doing?"
A hint of panic flashed through Lotus's beautiful eyes, and she said in embarrassment: "It's not just me, the mistress also takes care of it..."
"Don't help them hide it. There are so many maids and women in the yard, but they have never seen Mrs. Li and Mrs. Hua enter the house. If they haven't entered the house, how can they take care of them?" Mother Ruan said calmly: "Husband.
The son-in-law is seriously ill, but the wife whom the media is marrying does not come close to serve her, but hides far away. Such behavior is not an exaggeration even if she divorces her."
He Hua suddenly didn't realize it, she just kowtowed and insisted: "I don't dare to deceive the master, the mistress really takes care of me..."
Yu Zhu looked at her expression carefully and was surprised to find that she didn't waver at all. He couldn't help but wonder: Is there really such a law-abiding person?
"Do you know why Shan Chang's condition has deteriorated so much?" After a moment of silence, Cheng Xunxun suddenly spoke.
"No... I don't know." He Hua hesitated, "Maybe he is too ill and the medicine is ineffective."
The implication is - it has nothing to do with anyone, it’s just God’s fault.
Qiuwen finally stopped choking, took out the handkerchief and wiped away the tears on his face, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Hehua, how was your brother when you came?"
She was carried out in a coma, which showed how bad the situation was... She was very scared now, fearing that she would hear bad news the next moment.
"Still asleep, almost the same as when I went out." Hehua replied in a low voice, unconsciously tugging on her sleeve with her right hand, "The mistress is waiting next to me, and asked me to come in and give her a good answer. The master also said, please, master.
, so that my aunt can go and see her for the last time."
Qiu Wen finally took a breath and knelt quietly at Cheng Xunxun's feet.
Yu Zhu secretly speculated that, judging by this, Qiu Wen's family did not know that Shan Chang's illness deteriorated rapidly because he stopped taking the medicine, otherwise they would not be so peaceful.
In this way, He Hua's attitude is worth pondering. What Ruan's mother said just now implies that it is normal. Which concubine who has been bullied by the doctor all day long doesn't want to correct her?
But she didn't feel the slightest bit moved.
It is obviously true that Mrs. Li did not take care of her seriously ill husband. There are many maids and wives who can prove it. She can get angry without even making up a reason. Why lie and insist that Mr. Li participated in taking care of him?
Unless she has some reason that she can't talk about.
"Lying in front of me, do you know what the consequences will be?" Cheng Xunxun's face was as dark as water, his eyes were as sharp as ice, and it was like a sword drawn to the lotus body, which was as cold as ice.
He said this very slowly, almost word for word, and his tone was unusually calm, but Yu Zhu knew clearly that he was really angry...
"Second Master..." What does Second Master mean? How could He Hua lie? He is the most honest and taciturn person. Qiu Wen murmured with a trembling voice, "Are you mistaken? What lies..."
"You go down first." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Cheng Xunxun. The man frowned slightly: "If you are really worried, you can leave the house for a while."
As expected, I have lost a bit of experience, and I am still making noise now.
Qiuwen had no choice but to get up from the ground with his hands on the ground and staggered back, not daring to disobey at all.
The sky is getting gloomier, the light snow is getting heavier, and it is flying in wisps, and the cold wind is carrying the snowflakes straight into people's necks. The old ladies in the mansion are warming themselves by the fire, drinking tea, talking and laughing, and pointing in this direction.
Qiu Wen wrapped her cloak tightly and huddled into the wind and snow.
In front of an ordinary house, a small carriage with a flat roof and a green curtain slowly parked. The curtain opened and a petite figure stepped out.
Hua wrapped her hands in the sleeves of her thick gray cloth collared long coat. When she saw Qiu Wen getting out of the car, she hurriedly grabbed her daughter and said, "You really came out, Amitabha..."
At the same time, he pulled Qiu Wen and ran into the house.
As soon as the door opened, a steamy and weird smell came to my face, like rotten meat and rancidity, and finally a smell mixed with strong spices. I was caught off guard and choked, and my autumn lines almost disappeared.
Passed by.
"What sin did I do in my last life? How come I got retribution on your eldest brother?" Hua's tears fell again, "Look, how sick he is now. My poor eldest brother..."
Mrs. Li had just vomited and her face was pale. She was drinking tea from a cup and gargling her mouth. When she heard this, her mouth moved and she wiped away tears.
"That's enough, this person isn't dead yet, why are you crying in mourning?" Qiu Wen's father frowned and said in a rough voice: "Da Ni'er, come out with me."
Qiu Wen looked at his emaciated brother on the bed, feeling extremely sad. He stepped forward and carefully tucked him in, and then followed his father out.
Li Shi saw the two people going out, and turned to Hua Shi with a worried look, "Mom, what do you think He Hua was called to do now?"
Although she loves to eat and is lazy to cook, she is really not very courageous.
"What to do, what to do, how do I know?" Hua said angrily, "If you don't take good care of your man, he deserves to be divorced."
She shouldn't have coveted Mrs. Li's dowry and married such a lazy woman to her son.
Not only is she delicious and lazy to cook, but she is also very thick-skinned. No matter how she scolds her, she always looks like she is indifferent...
Zhengqi's ribs hurt, and she suddenly heard her son moaning in pain on the bed. She was startled, and hurriedly pinched her nose and moved forward. After taking a step, the door creaked, and a gust of cold wind rushed in.
Qiu Wen walked in with a pale face and a pair of quiet almond eyes, as if he had not yet recovered from a certain emotion.
However, Mrs. Hua no longer cared about her daughter at this time, because when she saw her son struggling hard, his whole body began to twitch violently, and his charred and thin face showed extreme pain.
"Son, what's wrong with you... don't scare mother." Hua was so frightened that she cried loudly, shaking her hands and trying to check.
I don't know whether it was due to excitement or smell, but as soon as a corner of the quilt was lifted, Hua rolled her eyes and fell limply on the footrest.
When she woke up, her daughter was gone, and her son had been wrapped in a quilt and placed quietly on the bed.
Mrs. Li's eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts from crying, and she cried intermittently: "Mom, my husband's clothes...are not easy to wear. His body is so rotten that he doesn't look like it. When he takes off his inner clothes, a piece of flesh is torn off...I have no choice but to use
Wrapped up in quilt."
After hearing this, Hua let out a heartbreaking scream and fainted again...
In Qinghui Courtyard, Hehua was being dragged out limply.
Cheng Xunxun's face was livid, and he slapped his palm on the huanghuali single-board moiré-patterned table with upturned teeth. The tea cup with a bunch of lotus and ten thousand seeds on the table jumped, and then tilted the lid in embarrassment.
"It's just too much of a lie." Cheng Xunxun straightened up suddenly, and took a few steps back and forth in the room with a frown on his face, obviously still angry.
Yu Zhu tilted her head and approached the man, pulled his sleeves and laughed.
"You're such a heartless person, you're still laughing after someone plotted against you." Cheng Xunxun didn't hold back at all. He glared at her and pinched her cheek, "That woman is really careless. Did she bully you before?"
Yu Zhu chuckled and let him pinch her face, raising her chin very proudly: "No, this time is just a coincidence, you know? Besides, no matter how smart I am, I never thought that the lotus flower was taken by brother Qiu Wen.
?”
It turns out that Qiuwen's brother Shanchang has become more and more consider himself a person since he was dragged away. He also imitated the playboy and spent a few taels of silver to forcefully buy a girl as a concubine. People were worried about the reputation of the Duke's palace and did not dare to
Make a statement.
He Hua originally had a lover whom she was in love with, but after being accepted by Shan Chang, she felt resentful. Unfortunately, her mistress controlled her very strictly, and she had been living her life quietly, pretending to be honest and obedient.
Later, Shanchang contracted a heart disease, and the condition became worse and worse. The stench was so bad that Li and Hua only gave her medicine occasionally, leaving all the dirty work such as scrubbing and applying medicine to her... Later, even the medicine was not given to her.
Very little. So, the flame of hatred buried under the hot coals in her heart gradually began to rise...
Anyway, no one else knew, so she poured the medicine into the flower pot and poured the scrubbing ointment into the dirty basin... who would blame her?
It's ridiculous that Shanchang probably didn't know until his death that it was his docile and well-behaved concubine who set him up the stairs to death...
Yuzhu couldn't help but think that after the mantis has completed its sexual intercourse, the female mantis will eat the male mantis. Sometimes women are very similar to female mantises. If they are cruel, they will eat their husbands with just a thought. (To be continued. If
