After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 118 118 Anger

"A Wan? Has Ah Wan come back?"

The moment she heard that voice, Shen Qingci was about to burst into tears.

She almost couldn't hold back, and wanted to rush in to meet her old man.

However, in the next moment, I heard another familiar voice: "Mother, A Wan has been gone for so long, you should let it go."

Xiao Wang's voice came from the side of the bed.

With the buzzing outside, Shen Qingci didn't even notice that there was another person in the room.

Holding her breath, she rolled over onto the roof, found a safe place, lay down on her stomach, and then lightly lifted a piece of glazed tile.

The situation in the room immediately came into her eyes.

The maids were all sent away, and her grandmother Yang was lying on the bed weakly at this time.

Beside her sat Xiao Wang who was holding a medicine bowl.

Most of the decoction in the bowl has gone.

Xiao Wang sighed: "Mother, you should drink some more, otherwise, your body will not be able to hold on."

"I know that you love A Wan the most, but Yuzhi is also your granddaughter. A Wan has gone, and Yuzhi is still there. She went to Huichuntang to grab this medicine herself in the afternoon."

"Don't you want to get well soon, and then watch Yuzhi get married in a glorious manner?"

Mrs. Wang persuaded her for a long time, but Mrs. Yang turned her head away and said coldly, "You mother and daughter are not so kind!"

"I'm afraid I wish that the old woman would die so that I could make room for you."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Wang's face froze.

But she quickly recovered her usual gentleness and docileness, "Mother, what are you talking about? But where is the daughter-in-law not taking good care of her?"

Yang Shi turned her head to one side and stopped talking.

At this moment, even Shen Qingci on the roof was a little surprised.

Although some people's relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is tense, what's more, the mother-in-law's husband and daughter-in-law come to stand up.

But in the Jiang family, such a thing is absolutely impossible.

Her grandmother was a kind and generous old man.

Ever since Aunt Jiang Yuwan passed through the family, she had handed over the middle-bearer and the right to head the family. She usually treated the two daughter-in-laws as if they were her own daughters, and she treated the younger generation with love and tolerance.

After Aunt Jiang Yuwan left, Mrs. Wang was in charge of the house, and she never said anything bad.

Jiang Yuwan has been in the Jiang family for so many years, and she has never seen her grandmother say a serious word to Xiao Wang.

The slightly harsh words just now didn't seem like what grandma could say.

Shen Qingci was startled, could it be that grandmother also noticed something?
Before she could think about it, Xiao Wang sighed, "I know, you're still blaming me for A Wan's death."

"If I can support Ah Wan with two more girls, nothing will happen."

"But, Auntie, you know Awan's temper. If she doesn't want to, how can we put people around her?"

Speaking of Jiang Yuwan, Yang turned her head and looked at Xiao Wang.

From Shen Qingci's perspective, he could only see half of his grandmother's body, and saw the hoarfrost dyed hair on her temples, but could not see her expression.

She just heard her snort coldly: "Don't think I didn't see what you guys were up to!"

"My Ah Wan is blocking your way!"

At the end, Yang's voice trembled a little.

Xiao Wang changed her usual gentleness and put down the medicine bowl heavily: "Mother."

"You always favor A Wan and ignore Yu Zhi. How can you be so confused now, right and wrong?"

"It seems that mother is really sick and confused."

After saying that, Mrs. Wang stood up, raised her hand and poured the remaining half bowl of soup mixed with medicine dregs into the coral potted plant beside her.

"Since that's the case, mother should take good care of her illness, and the daughter-in-law will not bother her."

As she spoke, she smoothed her sleeves, got up and left the room with the medicine bowl in hand.

She didn't bring a maid with her when she came, and the courtyard outside was also empty and there was no one there.

It's getting weirder and weirder.

Shen Qingci lay on the roof for a while, reckoning that she had gone far away, then lightly turned over and got off the roof, and came out of the window again.

"Ah Wan..."

Yang's voice came intermittently.

She may have fallen asleep in a daze, calling Shen Qingci's name in her dreams.

The tip of Shen Qingci's nose was sour, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

She raised her hand and pushed open the window with only a gap left, turned over and entered the room.

Even though she acted lightly and didn't make any noise, she still disturbed the people on the bed.

"Ah Wan? Is that you?"

Only when Shen Qingci stood firm, he met Yang's eyes that were already somewhat cloudy.

She covered her face and wore a black night gown. Under such circumstances, anyone who saw her would be shocked.

If he didn't startle and scream, he was considered calm.

But Yang didn't.

Her eyes were red, she raised her hand towards Shen Qingci, and said with a choked voice: "Is it my A Wan who came back to see grandma?"

"Have you been naughty again?"

In an instant, Shen Qingci burst into tears like rain.

In the past, it wasn't that she didn't go out with Lin Yunzheng in night clothes to "fight for righteousness". Occasionally, in order to avoid her father's stalking, she would be caught by her grandmother.

She didn't expect that under such circumstances, what grandma felt immediately was not panic, but surprise.

Shen Qingci wanted to respond, but it felt like a knife was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound no matter what.

She just picked up her pace and walked slowly towards the bed.

It's only been two months since I last saw her, but the grandma who used to be rich looks like a scrawny one.

The hand she reached out was like pine bark, shriveled and lifeless.

At that moment, Shen Qingci's mind went blank, there was no time to weigh the pros and cons, no time to make a choice or judgment.

Just meeting her grandmother's red eyes, she subconsciously stretched out her hand and put it in her palm.

"Ah Wan lost weight."

"People say that after death, you can entrust your loved ones with dreams. Since you left, grandma has been looking forward to dreaming of you every day, but she never..."

"A Wan, why did you abandon grandma so heartlessly!"

Grandma's palm is as warm and generous as ever.

She held her hand, just like when she was a child.

It's just that she's grown up and can no longer be held in her arms by her grandmother.

"Now it's a dream, and this dream is too real. My A Wan should know that my grandmother is about to die, so I came to pick her up, right?"

As strong as Shen Qingci, she also burst into tears at this moment.

She shook her head violently, and would hold her grandmother's hand, "No, grandmother, you are well, and you will live a long life!"

"A Wan will come back, you wait for A Wan for a while, and when A Wan finishes what she should do, come back and watch over grandma, and don't go anywhere!"

Once she withdraws from that paper-given marriage, after she withdraws completely from the Shen family, after investigating the truth about her death and rebirth, and making those who harmed her pay the price, she can return to her grandmother.

Shen Qingci believed that that day would not be too long.

Yang nodded, and tightly held Shen Qingci's hand, "Okay, grandma is waiting."

Shen Qingci used the other hand to tuck the quilt up for her, wiped away the tears on her face, and then choked up and said: "Grandmother, I know you are doing it for my own good, but don't confront Auntie head-on in the future."

Father is not at the house, Second Uncle is a no-nonsense person, and Grandmother is sick now, so she can only make a living in Xiao Wang's hands.

Thinking of his grandmother thinking that he was dreaming, Shen Qingci lost a little bit of scruples, and said: "Don't worry about my affairs, I will find out those who have hurt me one by one, and now you are the last The important thing is to cheer up and take good care of your body, and wait for me to come back, okay?"

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how unreasonable Shen Qingci's request was, Yang would always go along with it.

This time is no exception.

She nodded, "Okay, grandma promises you, promises you!"

Shen Qingci sniffed, and said with red eyes: "Where are those maids? You Lan, You Ruo and the others?"

How could there be no night watchman around grandma.

Yang shook her head, but her eyes never left Shen Qingci's eyes for a moment, as if she wanted to see the face she had been thinking about day and night through the black cloth.

"They were all sent away. They were afraid that I would make a fuss and be spread out, which would affect their dignity."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci's heart tightened.

She guessed it, but when she heard it with her own ears, she still felt extremely angry and disappointed.

Yang Shi held her hand tightly, and comforted her in turn: "Grandmother is fine, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, her eyes suddenly became a little sharper, and she changed the topic: "It's them, isn't it?"

Shen Qingci was surprised.

Yang said angrily, "It must be them!"

"After that day, a cook in the mansion and Chunhua also had accidents one after another."

"I've been watching these days, they can't hide!"

Shen Qingci nodded, "Grandmother, don't be angry, if you get angry, your body won't be worth it, and they won't end well!"

"Ok!"

Yang squeezed Shen Qingci's hand heavily: "Those who harm my granddaughter will not end well!"

The more I talked about this topic, the more angry I became, and the more I talked about it, the more serious I became.

Shen Qingci raised his hand and pinned a strand of grandmother's hair behind her ear, and said softly, "Grandma, do you still remember Qiuniang?"

Yang Shi nodded, "I can't remember the girl next to Ah Wan."

Shen Qingci wiped the tears on his face, squeezed out a forced smile and said, "I'm worried about you here, I want Qiuniang to come and take care of you for a few days, okay?"

Qiuniang knows kung fu, and unlike the servants in this house, there is a contract of prostitution in the hands of Xiao Wang.

With Qiuniang here, Shen Qingci can rest assured.

As for Qiuniang, like her, she was worried about her grandmother, and she was definitely willing.

However, this time, Mrs. Yang shook her head: "What does this old lady protect me? She wants to protect me, Awan, so that I, Awan, won't be harmed again!"

"grandmother……"

Shen Qingci couldn't hold back all of a sudden, and hugged Yang Shi's shoulders, and gently lay on her body and began to cry.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, you must get better!"

She managed to stop her tears, and comforted her grandmother again.

Grandma's body was indeed too weak, and she fell into a deep sleep without saying a few words.

Shen Qingci stood by for a while, and after making sure that she was fast asleep, he put her hands back under the quilt and prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, she took off the veil on her body, wrapped the medicinal residue that Xiao Wang had just poured into the coral potted plant and the pinch of soil that was mixed with the soup, and then tried to put the remaining soil in the potted plant. After the layer returned to its original state, he turned over and left Jiang's house.

She didn't go back to Shen's house directly, but came all the way to Huaishu Lane.

When Shen Qingci went in, the yard was lit, Qiuniang was guarding the main room, and Lu Kui was in the room giving Liusu a needle.

"How is Tassel doing today?"

As soon as Shen Qingci opened his mouth, his hoarse voice caught Qiuniang's attention.

"Compared to yesterday, Tassel is much better."

Qiuniang frowned and looked at Shen Qingci's red and swollen eyes, and said worriedly: "Miss, what happened to you?"

Shen Qingci thought for a while, but did not deliberately lower his voice, but deliberately said in a volume that could be heard by Lu Kui in the back room: "I went to Jiang's house."

"You also know that after A Wan left, I was always worried about the old lady of the Jiang family. I heard that she was seriously ill, so I went to see her quietly today when I was free."

Hearing this, Qiuniang's expression became tense: "Then how is the situation now?"

Although she has no memory of being in Jiang's house, but when she went to Jiang's mansion before and listened to the few words of those maids, she could still imagine how Mrs. Jiang took care of her back then.

In addition, Jiang Zhizhou, Bo Yong'an, came to Shen's house to diagnose her pulse in person later on. She was already very grateful just for this friendship.

Shen Qingci sighed, and said succinctly: "They treat her very badly, and there is not even a night watchman around."

Hearing this, Qiuniang's face darkened: "How could this be! She is also the wife of the Jiang family!"

This time, even without Shen Qingci's opening, Qiuniang took the initiative to say: "Miss, Little Liusu doesn't need me here, the doctor that Mr. Lin hired is very considerate, I think..."

"I want to take care of the old lady for a few days. I heard that Master Jiang will be returning to Beijing in a few days. I will come back then."

Shen Qingci had exactly this intention.

She could tell last night that there were masters everywhere outside the courtyard, if Lin Yue really wanted to do something to Liu Su, Qiu Niang couldn't stop her at all.

Moreover, according to her analysis, he has already used Lu Kui, and he has spent all his energy and thought in saving Liusu.

There's no reason to be against Tassel at this point.

In contrast, the situation on the grandmother's side is more urgent.

Not only was it so simple that no one took care of her, Shen Qingci felt a little uneasy when she thought about what Jiang Yuzhi said in the afternoon, and then pondered about Xiao Wang's attitude.

That's why she took the dregs of the medicine.

Moreover, he deliberately did not avoid Lu Kui, just to let him listen.

After all, this person was also a close friend of the old man, and a frequent visitor to the Jiang family. Hearing that something happened to his grandmother... he shouldn't just stand by and watch.

Facts have proved that Shen Qingci guessed right.

In less than half a cup of tea, Lu Kui, who had injected tassels with needles, came out of the back room.

As soon as they met each other, he didn't even care about the politeness, and asked straight to the point: "How is Mrs. Jiang's health?"

Shen Qingci hastily handed over the handkerchief that had been in his arms all the way.

Lu Kui once sat at the head of the Supreme Hospital, so how could he not be shrewd.

Without Shen Qingci's reminder, he could roughly guess the origin of the soil when he saw the medicine dregs.

"Show me now."
