The girl who wears fast

Chapter 933 My Aunt Is Not a Stepmother (8)

When Cao Shichu was living a comfortable and leisurely life in Taohua Village, Xun Xiu, who had been left behind by her, was having a bad life.

He already knew that he had become a silver-shaped pewter gun, and he was only interested in it but not useful. At the beginning, he thought it was because Cao Shichu was burned to death in the street, which made him have a psychological shadow, so he didn't do it.

He found a few more concubines to try, but no matter how he tried, no matter how the concubines were full of tricks, he was calm, and the concubine who served him turned pale with fright, knowing that he had learned about Xun Xiu, a shameful person. Something wrong, it must not end well, so I hurriedly begged for mercy.

But Xun Xiu was witnessed by his concubines at his most embarrassing and incompetent, so how could he keep them?Therefore, no matter how much they begged, their throats and hands were destroyed, and after making sure that they could not reveal their secrets, they were thrown to Ren Yazi and sold far away.

It's just that there was a concubine with a strong personality among them. Seeing that she couldn't escape begging for mercy, she simply took revenge on Xun Xiu, so before her throat was destroyed, she yelled that Xun Xiu was useless. A man, if he can't do it, he will kill his concubine and so on.

Xun Xiu's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he almost fainted from anger. When the little concubine revealed the big secret, he shouted with all his might, and many people heard it, including several maids serving in the room and swearing in the yard outside. His mother-in-law, servants from other yards passing by...

Even though Xun Xiu immediately dealt with those servants who suffered disaster after hearing what they shouldn't have heard, there were still fish who slipped through the net, so rumors about Xun Xiu's failure spread like this.

So after Xun Xiu succeeded in subduing his wife, he gained another bad reputation, and now everyone looked at him in the wrong way.

When he went to the Hanlin Academy, those colleagues looked at him with sympathy and pity in their eyes, and they were a little bit unscrupulous, secretly hinting that he should not hide his illness and avoid medical treatment, and seek a doctor for treatment earlier.

Xun Xiu couldn't face such a look, he was extremely ashamed and indignant. He was hit hard because he couldn't do it, but the fact that he couldn't do it was spread to almost the whole capital. How could he have the face to appear in front of people?
Unable to face such gazes, he went to Shangguan to ask for leave, and Shangguan agreed very simply, and sympathetically advised him not to be discouraged. He is still young, and there is still hope for seeing a few more doctors...

Xun Xiu almost ran away in despair.

After he returned to Xun's house, he still faced the care of his parents.

Mother Xun came to him worriedly and asked him: "Xiu'er, are you really going to die? What should we do? You are still so young, and you still have to help our family..."

Gritting his teeth, Xun Xiu said, "Mom! My illness is only temporary! I've never been like this before..."

"When did that start?" Xun's mother hurriedly asked.

"From the day they got married, the Cao family was burned to death in the sedan chair." Xun Xiu subconsciously put the reason on Cao Shichu's head.

Sure enough, when Mother Xun heard what he said, she raised her eyebrows immediately and said, "Cao Shi! It's Cao Shi again! It's fine that her elder sister is a short-lived ghost, but this little Cao Shi is also a bad luck ghost. You became a widower, and you were said to be a wife-killer... Pooh! They are the Cao sisters, both of whom are broom stars, and they made you like this, and they are dedicated to killing our family..."

Xun's mother scolded the Cao sisters angrily, but no matter how much she cursed, she couldn't make her son move.

After being tired of scolding, she finally stopped, remembering that the most important thing now is to make her son get better, so she asked anxiously: "Have you seen the doctor? Just look for a few more. If there is no other way, even It’s embarrassing, and you have to ask the imperial physician in the palace to treat it, you must not be afraid of being ridiculed and refuse to see a doctor.”

"Mom, I asked the doctor to look at it, but they couldn't find anything wrong with it, saying that I am obviously healthy and not poisoned, but that's it, it's probably because I was frightened by what happened on the day I got married, so I can only wait and see Let's see when it recovers." Xun Xiu scratched his hair impatiently and said.

"Scared?! Then, do you want to invite the master of Huguo Temple to chant scriptures to suppress those demons?" Mother Xun immediately thought of an unnatural way.

Xun Xiu had already seen the doctor but it didn't help. Hearing what his mother said now, he simply treated him as a living doctor. Anyway, it would not be harmful to ask the master to chant the scriptures. The worst result would be useless. His The condition remains the same; but if the scriptures recited by the master are really useful, then his illness will be cured.

So he immediately agreed to Mother Xun's proposal and said, "Mother, Master Liutong, the abbot of Huguo Temple, has the most powerful magic power. Can you invite him to chant scriptures for me?"

Xun's mother was immediately embarrassed, and said, "Master Liutong? Xiu'er, mother also very much hopes to invite Master Liutong to recite scriptures for you, but Master Liutong is not something that mother can invite at will. He was asked to go to the palace to pray for the late emperor, but Master Liutong refused, saying that he was old and weak, and he was afraid he would not be able to do this job... Master Liutong didn't even give the Empress Dowager face, so how could he? What about your face?"

Xun Xiu was very disappointed when he heard this. Mother Xun couldn't see him like this, so she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Xiu'er, Master Liutong can't be invited, but mother can invite his younger brother, Master Wentong. Master Tong is not as good as him, but he is the second most powerful master in Huguo Temple, so it is the same when he comes to chant sutras for you."

"Okay, let's invite Master Wentong." Xun Xiu said reluctantly.

So soon, Master Wentong really appeared in the Xun Mansion, but Master Wentong was only here to chant scriptures, and he also made it clear that he would not see a doctor, and Mr. Xun's illness had better be referred to someone else.

Xun Xiu himself invited him with the idea of ​​using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so even though he was disappointed, he had no choice but to cheer up and kneel on the futon to listen to Master Wentong's chanting. For the sake of an extremely pious heart, let him regain his glory.

But it is a pity that Master Wen Tong's chanting had no effect on his illness. Xun Xiu found another girl to test that night, but the girl couldn't even stay in his room for a night, and was sent by Xun Xiu in the middle of the night. People pulled it out and dealt with it.

Poor for an innocent woman.

Xun Xiu basically became a big joke in the capital. The story that he invited Master Wen Tong to go to the mansion to chant scriptures to suppress demons and try to cure him was spread, and it became the joke of people in teahouses and restaurants. I don't even have the face to go out.

Because of this illness, he was depressed, irritable and aggrieved, nestled in the mansion, his temper was getting worse and worse, the slightest mistake by the servant would arouse his fury, even if Xun Yiming accidentally said something wrong, he would be slammed by him After cursing, Xun Yiming finally tasted what it was like to live in fear in his own home.
