the seventh bride

Chapter 178 Mrs. Jing

She knew that Nan Gongchen was hospitalized in Hong'en Hospital every time, so she drove the car directly to Hong'en Hospital without even asking.When she rushed to the hospital, she saw the old lady and Shen Ke brothers and sisters sitting in the corridor of the emergency room from a distance.

The old lady was already in tears, and Shen Xin was comforting her by the side.

Bai Muqing slowed down, looked at the door of the emergency room, then looked at the few people present, and almost held her breath and asked, "What's wrong, young master?"

Hearing her voice, the old lady raised her head faintly, her sad eyes were stained with anger little by little, and then she yelled at her: "You still have the face to come here? Get lost!"

Bai Muqing's heart trembled when she yelled at her, and she hurriedly said: "Grandma, I just want to know how the young master is doing, please don't treat me like this again, okay?"

"If you and Annan didn't make Chen sad, would he go out to drink? Would he get sick from drinking?" The old lady stood up suddenly from the chair, raised her hand and slapped her on the face : "I warn you, if something happens to Chen, I will ask you to be buried with him!"

Bai Muqing was slapped, but she didn't flinch and leave, but said with tears: "Grandma, if anything happens to Chen, I will be buried with him, because I am his wife. It is also because I am his wife." Wife, that's why I should stay the most, shouldn't I?"

She stroked the sore cheek brushed by the old lady with one hand, and continued: "I have nothing to do with Lin Annan, the young master misunderstood me, you can't misunderstand me along with him."

"Misunderstanding? Annan has already admitted that he has always had a relationship with you."

"Lin Annan, he lied!" Bai Muqing became even more anxious, she didn't expect that Lin Annan would tell such a lie to the old lady, but the old lady would take it seriously!

"Grandma, don't be angry." Shen Xin put her arms around the old lady and comforted her, "Cousin Annan has been abroad, how could he have anything to do with his cousin?"

"That's right, grandma, I'd better take you back." Shen Ke came over and held the old lady's other arm: "Cousin will be fine, you can go back and rest at ease."

The old lady still stared at Bai Muqing angrily, but Bai Muqing just lowered her head, not daring to irritate her with a word.

At this moment, the door of the emergency room opened, and a group of medical staff pushed the unconscious Nan Gongchen out of the emergency room. Bai Muqing was startled, and rushed to greet her.

When she saw Nangong Chen with pale face, purple lips, and even bruises on his face, her heart was instantly twisted by a knife.The old lady cried even more when she saw Nangong Chen on the hospital bed, she took the doctor's hand and asked, "What's wrong with his face? What's wrong with this?"

Doctor Zhang, who has been following Nangong Chen's condition, patted the back of the old lady's hand to comfort him: "Don't worry, old lady, Young Master Chen's face is covered with skin trauma, and he should wake up soon."

"Really?" the old lady asked.

The doctor nodded, took a look at everyone and pushed Nangong Chen to the intensive care unit.

Seeing that the hospital sent Nangong Chen to the intensive care unit, Bai Muqing's heart sank, she chased after and grabbed Doctor Zhang's clothes and said anxiously: "Doctor, didn't you say that Young Master Chen would wake up soon? Send him to the intensive care unit? Could it be."

Dr. Zhang glanced at the old lady, and said in a low voice: "Young lady, to tell you the truth, I don't know when Young Master Chen will wake up. I just said that to prevent the old lady from worrying."

Bai Muqing's already cold heart turned cold again, and she held her breath and asked, "What's wrong with Young Master Chen? Did the alcohol hurt your stomach?"

"There's nothing wrong with the stomach, but this time the illness is more serious than ever before, so..." Dr. Zhang shook his head: "I don't know when he will wake up."

What Dr. Zhang said made Bai Muqing gasp and froze in place for an instant.

After a while, she turned around and returned to the old lady silently. The old lady stared at her and asked coldly, "What did the doctor tell you?"

Bai Muqing took a light breath, tried her best to keep her voice calm and said, "I just asked the doctor if the young master was hurt by alcohol, and Doctor Zhang said no, the young master will probably wake up soon, grandma, don't worry Bar."

"In order to appease the old lady, she can only lie with Dr. Zhang.

The old lady didn't know whether to believe it or not, but in the end she was taken away from the hospital by Shen Ke.

As soon as the old lady left, Bai Muqing immediately turned to Shen Xin and asked, "What's going on? Why did the young master drink with Lin Annan?"

Shen Xin looked at her, and there was an unconcealable accusation in her tone: "I heard from cousin Annan that the eldest cousin went to find him to drink. I don't know exactly what happened, but sister-in-law." Shen Xin paused. After a pause, he said again: "Don't blame me for talking too much. Although the eldest cousin has a bad personality, he is very loyal to his feelings. But at the beginning, he was heartbroken by Miss Zhu. It was hard for him to get out of the shadow of Miss Zhu. Come out, I hope you don't let him go back to the old way, don't let him get hurt because of love."

Bai Muqing looked at Shen Xin, and said helplessly: "Shen Xin, don't you even believe me? Lin Annan and I are really innocent."

"This..." Shen Xin smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether I believe you or not, the main thing is that my eldest cousin believes in you."

Bai Muqing stopped talking, Nangong Chen didn't believe her, never believed her!
While waiting for Nan Gongchen to wake up in the hospital, the more Bai Muqing thought about it, the more uneasy and annoyed she became. She finally took out her mobile phone and dialed Lin Annan's number.

Lin Annan's voice quickly came from the other end of the phone. Before he could say anything, Bai Muqing immediately asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm in the hospital, you look behind." Lin Annan said unhurriedly.

Bai Muqing turned her head, and she saw Lin Annan walking towards here holding the phone.

After she hung up the phone, she rushed up and slapped him hard and said angrily, "Lin Annan, don't you know that Young Master Chen can't drink? Why do you let him drink so much?"

Lin Annan was slapped by her, but his cheek was turned to the side, and then he turned around like a normal person, looked at her and even raised his hand to touch her cheek and said with concern: "What's wrong with your face?" Is it? Why is it red?"

It was beaten by the old lady, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was a finger print.

Bai Muqing raised her hand and slapped his palm off: "Stop pretending to be kind here!"

"Mu Qing, don't be so angry."

"Chen can't wake up now, and you want me not to be angry?" Bai Muqing was so angry that she slapped him on the cheek again: "You did it on purpose, right? Did you intend to kill Chen?"

Her slap failed to hit Nangong Chen's face, but he grabbed her wrist instead.

Lin Annan was finally annoyed: "Why didn't you ask me where the wound on my face came from? Why didn't you ask me how much I drank last night? Is Nangong Chen the only one in your heart?"

"I've told you many times, I only have Nangong Chen in my heart!"

"Then you can't be indiscriminate just because of this, right?" Lin Annan said angrily, "I tell you, it was Nangong Chen who came to see me last night, it was he who asked me to fight, and it was he who asked me to drink, not me!"

"What did you say?" Bai Muqing stared at him blankly: "Did you fight?"

"That's right, he called me!"

No wonder Nangong Chen's face was bruised, and it was at this moment that Bai Muqing realized that the corners of Lin Annan's mouth were also swollen. She was so angry that she didn't notice his face at all.

But no matter what, Lin Annan can still stand here well, but Nan Gongchen is lying in the intensive care unit and cannot wake up.Thinking that Nangong Chen might never wake up again, her tears couldn't stop falling down.

She stared at Lin Annan with tears in her eyes: "Aren't you satisfied after the matter has come to this point?"

"Mu Qing..."

"Don't call me!" Bai Muqing interrupted him, and the gaze on his face became pleading: "Annan, if Chen is lucky enough to wake up this time, can I ask you to let us go? No. Don't bother me any more."

Lin Annan sneered and asked: "Then what if he dies unfortunately? Can you come back to my side?"

"Shut up!" Bai Muqing yelled angrily: "Chen won't die, he will definitely wake up!"

"Who knows?" Lin Annan sneered disapprovingly: "Obviously he has always refused to let us go, but you asked me to let you go instead? Don't you think this is ridiculous? I really regret that I didn't let us go last night. He drank a few more glasses of stronger ones!"

"You!" Bai Muqing angrily raised her hand to hit him.

Lin Annan grabbed her wrist just like before, pulled her body forward angrily, and said angrily: "Bai Muqing, you hit me for the third time today because of him! I warn you, there is a limit to human patience." of!"

"Since you know that people's patience has a limit, why do you still touch my bottom line again and again?" Bai Muqing with all her strength pulled her wrist back from his palm, took a step back and stared at him: "I found that you have no It’s just a madness, there’s no way to save it!”

When she was done, she turned around and left.

Lin Annan stared at the back of her walking away, sneered and murmured: "Even if you go crazy and become a lunatic, I will not give up on you."

******
After waiting all day, Nangong Chen still didn't wake up.

Bai Muqing gradually changed from being worried about Nangong Chen in the morning to being restless even sitting and standing. Since she married into Nangong's family, Nangong Chen has fallen ill quite a few times, but she has never been unable to wake up for such a long time like this time.

She didn't know how much Nangong Chen drank last night, but he was drunk for two days in a row, and he who couldn't drink in the first place must not be able to bear it.

After guarding outside the intensive care unit for a whole day, Bai Muqing didn't even drink a drop of water, so Shen Xin brought her food after class.

Looking at the dim sum in Shen Xin's hand, she didn't have the slightest appetite.

"Sister-in-law, you need to eat something to be able to take care of your elder brother. Don't wait for your elder brother to wake up and collapse." Shen Xin handed her a bottle of mineral water that had been unscrewed: "Drink some water first."

"Thank you." Bai Muqing took a sip from the water bottle from her hand, and asked in a murmur, "You said why hasn't Eldest Young Master woke up?"

"I don't know." Shen Xin also looked worried.

Why did he run to fight with Lin Annan, why did he run to drink with Lin Annan?To vent your anger?It seems that his heart is really angry!
As soon as she ate something without taste, the old lady came over, and the two people on the chair quickly stood up to meet her.

"Grandma, why are you here?" Shen Xin asked, holding her arm.

The old lady glanced at the door of the ward where Nangong Chen was staying, and said sadly: "Chen's life and death are unknown here, and I'm restless at home."

"But, grandma, the hospital here has a lot of germs, which is not good for your health." Shen Xin rushed to Shen Ke who came with him and said, "Brother, you should take grandma back."

Shen Ke shrugged helplessly: "Grandma insisted on coming."

"I have my own measure, so you don't need to worry about me." After the old lady finished speaking, she said to Shen Ke: "Go and call Dr. Zhang over."

"Grandma, Doctor Zhang just came out of the ward, and he doesn't know when Chen will wake up." Bai Muqing said.

The old lady glanced at her, and she immediately lowered her head guiltily.

She thought that the old lady would scold her severely again, after all, she was the one who caused Nangong Chen to be like this, but the old lady didn't do that, instead she said to her in an extremely helpless and sad tone: "You come with me go home."

Bai Muqing didn't understand why she told herself to go back, but no matter why she couldn't leave here!
"Grandma, I want to stay here until the young master wakes up." She said.

The old lady was angry: "It's still a question of whether Chen can wake up because of you. Why are you waiting? What qualifications do you have to wait?"

"The young master will definitely wake up, grandma, please let me stay in the hospital and wait for him, please..." Bai Muqing pulled Shen Xin's clothes with her hands in desperation, hoping that she could help her say Good word.

Shen Xin just shook her head at her, signaling her not to make the old lady angry.

Everyone knows the old lady's temper, and it's useless to plead for mercy.In case of offending her, it is possible that she will not be allowed to take a step closer to Nangong Chen in this life.In order to give herself a way out, she had no choice but to shut up obediently.

The old lady told Shen Ke and Shen Xin to stay in the hospital, while she turned around and walked towards the elevator accompanied by Sister He.

"Sister-in-law, go back with grandma, don't make her angry." Shen Xin whispered to Bai Muqing.

Bai Muqing took a deep breath, and grabbed her hand: "Shen Xin, no matter what happens to the young master, please inform me in time, please."

"I will, don't worry."

After receiving Shen Xin's promise, Bai Muqing reluctantly left the intensive care unit and followed the old lady towards the elevator.

The old lady asked Uncle Wang to drive the car directly to the gate of the ancestral hall in the backyard, and then asked Bai Muqing to get out of the car.

Standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Bai Muqing thought that the old lady was going to imprison herself in the ancestral hall to serve her family, and was about to express her protest when Sister He gave her a wink to let her follow.

Bai Muqing watched the old lady walk in with Sister He, and thought that if the old lady wanted to punish her family, she would never send her to the ancestral hall in person.There was no time for her to think too much, the old lady and Sister He had already stepped in, and she had to keep up.

The old lady and Nan Gongchen have always resisted her coming to the ancestral hall. Even when dealing with her family law, there will be people guarding her from taking a step inside.Although she was full of doubts about this ancestral hall, since she was angered by Nangong Chen last time, she never thought of exploring the space inside the ancestral hall again.

But today, the old lady took her directly around the front hall of the ancestral hall and walked to the back.

Although the lights inside were all turned on, the light was still dim. After passing through a wooden door, the further back Bai Muqing walked, the more frightened Bai Muqing felt.She unconsciously quickened her pace, stared at the old lady's back and asked, "Grandma, where are you taking me?"

Wouldn't it be throwing her in the back hall to enforce the family law?Or lock her up?Forcing her to separate from Nangong Chen?Or kill her?
She didn't know how the old lady dealt with Nangong Chen's first six wives before, so she was terrified, and the further she walked, the more terrified she became.Especially at this time, the old lady ignored her, didn't answer her questions, and the expression on her face was so weird and scary.

The moment she stepped into the back hall, Bai Muqing gritted her teeth, turned around and fled in the direction she came back from.Then the wooden door that was originally opened was closed at this time, she was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at the old lady behind her.

The old lady leaned on a cane in her hand, and stared at her coldly.

"What do you want to do?" Bai Muqing looked at them in fear, and stepped back little by little.

The old lady looked at the panic on her face, and smiled mockingly: "Hasn't Miss Bai always been curious about the secrets of the Nangong family? Why? But now you don't have the guts to go in with me?"

Bai Muqing was startled for a moment, then stared at the old lady in astonishment.

what did she say?
The secret of the Nangong family, which was hidden from everyone, is going to be told to her today?And it was the old lady who told her personally?
That's right, she really wanted to know the secrets of the Nangong family, and the secrets about her destined lover. Since the old lady was willing to tell her, she was of course very happy to listen.

She did not step back, but took two steps forward, stared at the old lady carefully and said: "Are you really willing to tell me?"

Why?What is the purpose of the old lady?

The old lady ignored her, but turned and walked into the back hall.

Bai Muqing glanced around at the strange surroundings, and hurriedly followed.

Stepping into the back hall, she saw the picture of 'Mrs. Jing' in her memory, and her scalp went numb for an instant.This scene that even she herself hadn't been able to tell whether it was a dream or a real scene, she actually saw it again.

When she fainted in the ancestral hall last time, she clearly remembered seeing the portrait of 'Mrs. Jing' and the woman lying in the crystal coffin.But Nan Gongchen insisted that she passed out in the front hall, and everything she saw was just a nightmare.

Now it seems that this is not a nightmare at all, but a reality!

She remembered that behind the picture was a magnificent room, in which there was a crystal coffin covered by yellow silk and satin, her eyes were fixed on the locked wooden door, her heart beat so fast that she almost jumped out of her body .

"Young Madam, light this stick of incense." Sister He's voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Bai Muqing came back to her senses for a while, turned her head and saw that the old lady was burning incense, and Sister He was holding a stick of incense that had already been lit.She raised her hands tremblingly, and took the sparkling incense from Sister He's hand.

The old lady looked at her trembling hands, and said coolly: "If you are afraid, you can leave now, I will not force you."

Bai Muqing swallowed the saliva in her mouth, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not afraid."

She finally waited for this opportunity and naturally she would not give up casually, even if she was really scared at the moment.

After burning the incense, the old lady came to the locked wooden door. Sister He unlocked the door with the key, took the lead in, and turned on the light inside.It was still the dim yellow light, and the sightline was not so good, but Bai Muqing still saw the crystal coffin wrapped in silk at a glance.

It was exactly the same as the last time she saw it, even the position and placement hadn't changed.

When Sister He was about to lift the silk from the crystal coffin, Bai Muqing hurriedly stopped her, "No need!"

Sister He looked up at her, and Bai Muqing tremblingly said, "I've seen it last time. Don't look at it again."

In fact, last time she didn't see the face of the woman in the crystal coffin very clearly, and she had long forgotten what she looked like. The last time she saw it, she was almost scared to death. Now she doesn't want to see it. dare not look.

She turned to the old lady: "Grandma, just tell me the truth, I'm afraid to see her."

The old lady did not do what she wished, but tore off the silk from the crystal coffin.Bai Muqing let out a low cry, and instinctively covered her face with her hands, her body trembling even more.

God, she has never seen a dead person in her life, not even the body of her grandmother, but now she is so close to an inexplicable dead person?Want to meet her face to face on this weird big night?
"He is Chen's previous lover, the woman Chen once owed." The old lady's voice sounded slowly, every word, which seemed extraordinarily strange in the silence.

Bai Muqing was startled, she lowered her hands covering her face bit by bit, stared at the old lady and said, "What did you say?"

Nangong Chen's previous lover?Does this legendary character really exist?And it's the sleeping beautiful woman in front of her?Bai Muqing still didn't dare to look at the woman in the coffin, but just stared at the old lady in astonishment.

"You heard me right." The old lady stared at her: "I don't know what kind of rumors you heard outside, but the rumors are not groundless. Chen did owe a woman in his previous life, and he needs him in this life Come back, this is God's arrangement, and none of us can change it."

Bai Muqing had indeed heard of this rumor, but she never believed it.In her opinion, it is a new era now, and those rumors of feudal superstition are not worth believing.

But she didn't expect that there was such a woman hidden in the Nangong family's ancestral hall.

The lover in the previous life, how long did that take? 100 years?Or 1000 years?

"How do I pay it back?" She looked at the old lady and asked.

"Find Chen's destined lover in this life." The old man hesitated for a moment before uttering this sentence with reservations.

"That's why you've been looking for your destined lover?"

"That's right, Chen can only survive if he finds her."

Bai Muqing's heart was in a mess, and her sense of fear remained undiminished. She still had some questions to ask, but she didn't know where to start.After a while, he asked in a trembling voice, "Do you have to keep her here?"

She felt that it was a terrible thing to store a dead person in the house, and it was also something that should not be done. Why not put her in the ground for peace?She doesn't understand.

"You will know this later." The old lady finished speaking lightly, then looked at her and sneered: "Don't you look at her? She is Chen's destined lover in her previous life, and she is the one who caused Chen to suffer from a strange disease. Maybe In this life, Chen will never wake up again because of her. Remember her face, if Chen can't wake up this time, you can at least find someone to hate."

The old lady's words made Bai Muqing's scalp tingle again, and she finally shifted her gaze to the crystal coffin. Through the transparent coffin, she saw the woman inside with her small face slightly turned inward like last time. .Her hair was like satin, she was quiet and peaceful, if it wasn't for her pale complexion, she wouldn't be able to tell that she was a lifeless woman.

Looking at her, Bai Muqing only felt that it was difficult to breathe, her hands and feet were weak, and then her legs gave way and she almost fell to the ground.

******
Bai Muqing was in a daze, she didn't know how she got out of the ancestral hall and how she got back to her bedroom.It wasn't until the old lady came to her again that she quietly stood up from the sofa and stared at the old lady and said, "Grandma, I always thought that the destined lover and the legends were all false. Let's put that woman in the ground, don't let her go I scared myself..."

Sister He passed the water glass in her hand to Bai Muqing: "Young Madam, drink a glass of water first to calm down the shock."

Bai Muqing took the water glass with a few gurgles and drank up the water in it. After drinking the water, she felt a little calmer.

She watched the old lady go to sit down on the sofa opposite her, and heard her say in an indifferent voice: "I let you see 'Mrs. Jing' not to share the secrets of the Nangong family with you, but to let you realize Considering the seriousness of this matter, it seems that you still have no awareness at all, which really disappoints me."

Bai Muqing looked at her, not understanding why she said that.

Sister He who was at the side said: "Young Madam, what the old Madam means is that the Eldest Young Master is already in danger of life. If you still occupy the title of Young Madam and prevent the Eldest Young Master from marrying his destined lover, then Eldest Young Master It will definitely be more or less auspicious."

It's not that Bai Muqing didn't fail to guess what the old lady was thinking, this is what she thought.

She looked at the two of them in disbelief and said, "What the young master needs now is a good hospital, not the rumored lover."

"You don't need to believe this. If you still want Chen to live, then leave him on your own initiative. Chen can be in a coma for so long this time, even if he wakes up, his body will become worse than before. Even if he can It is still unknown whether we can survive this time and whether we can survive the next time."

After the old lady finished speaking, the tears in her eyes flashed, and her tone became pleading, and she stared at her: "Miss Bai, please let me beg you? Leave Chen, let him marry the person he should marry, and give him a chance to live."

Bai Muqing was at a loss for what to do when the old lady spoke to herself in such a tone, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't say that, I certainly hope that the young master will live a long life, me."

"Then leave him."

"Me." Bai Muqing said anxiously: "Grandma, have you thought about the young master? He doesn't want to divorce me, and he doesn't want to marry a woman he doesn't love at all. If I leave, he will definitely suffer a lot. Then hurt yourself like this time."

"Don't worry, he won't." The old lady said with confidence.

Bai Muqing was puzzled: "How do you know?"

"Because this woman is not a woman he doesn't love." The old lady said: "On the contrary, he loves this woman more than you. If the two of them get married, Chen will definitely live happily."

"What do you mean?" Bai Muqing's brain, which had lost half of its brain cells, was really unable to keep up with the old lady's train of thought at this moment.

The woman Nangong Chen loves very much?Who else has loved besides Zhu Zhu Nan Gongchen?

Thinking of Zhu Zhu, a bad premonition surged in her heart, and she remembered Zhu Zhu's words in the apartment the night before yesterday.

Zhu Zhu once argued against her that if she wanted to get back together with Nangong Chen, she only needed to ask the old lady to come forward and make the decision.At that time, she didn't take it to heart when she heard it, but now that she thinks about it, that's what she meant.

"I think you should know about the relationship between Nian Chen and Miss Zhu, right? To be honest, I didn't like that woman at first sight, but there is no way, who made her Chen's destined lover? I can only let her replace you Marry Chen."

Zhu Zhu!It really is Zhu Zhu!

Bai Muqing was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. She never thought that Zhu Zhu would one day become Nangong Chen's destined lover. Fate is indeed a very wonderful thing!
If it's really Zhu Zhu, then Nangong Chen can indeed live a happy life if he marries her, she believes in this!
