the seventh bride

Chapter 214 Awake
Nangong Chen and Qiao Feng waited at the gate of the intensive care unit for a whole night in relative silence. At dawn the next day, Nangong Chen stood up from his chair after looking at the sky outside, and said to Qiao Feng, "I'll go and get the Wan Qing will pick it up for you."

"Thank you." Qiao Feng said.

Nangong Chen turned around and left the ICU area, and went back to the old house.

As soon as Nangong Chen left, Qiao Siheng came over, bringing a servant behind him.

"Ah Feng, go back and rest, and leave this place to Sister Hong, you can always trust Sister Hong, right?" Qiao Siheng said.

"That's right, Second Young Master, go back and rest. I'll watch over Young Madam here." Sister Hong is an old servant of Qiao's family, capable and mature in her work, that's why Qiao Siheng brought her here.

However, Qiao Feng was still worried and said: "No need, I'll wait here for Mu Qing to wake up."

"The doctor said that she won't wake up until she is at least 20 hours old. It's useless for you to stay here."

"It works, at least I feel better."

"Ah Feng." Qiao Siheng took a light breath: "Don't be too serious, I have a hunch that Mu Qing will leave you sooner or later. Maybe in this accident, she regained her memory and maybe she remembered everything. "

Qiao Feng felt a throbbing pain in his heart. This was the result he had never dared to think about!

"I'm sorry, it's my brother who caused you to become like this." Qiao Siheng said apologetically, "I wanted you to live a happier life, but I didn't expect..."

"Brother, thank you." Qiao Feng interrupted him and said, "No matter what happens later, at least I have lived happily and satisfied for the past two years or so."

"If only you could really think that way." Qiao Siheng smiled wryly.

How could he not know this brother?If it wasn't because he couldn't let go of Bai Muqing, how could he have given Bai Muqing to him back then?

"By the way, have you found out the cause of the accident?" Qiao Feng asked suddenly.

Qiao Siheng shook his head: "Ah Feng, you have to be prepared, Zhu Zhu is the destined lover identified by the Nangong family, even if she really kills Mu Qing, the Nangong family will not let her be taken away by the police. The Nangong family will do their best to protect her and keep her."

"What about now?"

"I think it should be covered by people from the Nangong family."

"How can he be so selfish?!" Qiao Feng suddenly clapped his hands on the armrest of the wheelchair angrily: "Nangong Chen is standing here with a heartbroken look, is it all for a show? Why doesn't he want to stand up for him at all?" Mu Qing seek justice?"

"In his perception, Zhu Zhu is his savior in this life. It's not incomprehensible for him not to hand Miss Zhu over to the police. People don't want to destroy themselves." Qiao Siheng said.

"Then what about Mu Qing's injury? Was it in vain?"

"No." Qiao Siheng comforted: "Zhu Zhu will have retribution, you understand."

Although he knew that Zhu Zhu would die sooner or later, he still felt unwilling in his heart.Nangongchen also felt this way, knowing that Zhu Zhu would die sooner or later, but she was not punished for this matter, he just felt unwilling and shouldn't.
-
When Nangong Chen rushed back to Nangong's old house, little Wanqing had already woken up, and was curled up on the bedside, calling for her mother to a room of unfamiliar people.

As soon as Nangong Chen entered, he saw her teary and pitiful.

"Xiao Wanqing, are you awake?" He walked over and raised his hand to stroke her small head: "How is it? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Xiao Wanqing shook her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Uncle Chen, where is my mother?"

"Mom is back."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. When did Uncle Chen lie to you?"

A smile finally appeared on Xiao Wanqing's face, she stared at him and said, "Uncle Chen, I want to go home."

"Okay, Uncle Chen will take you to Dad's place right away." Nangong Chen stretched out his palm to her: "Come on, come here."

Xiao Wanqing, who had been hiding on the bed for a long time, finally put her little hand into his palm, and let him carry her off the bed.

"Yo, it turns out that the little guy likes to be close to the young master." Sister He said with a smile: "The young master still has a way. I just coaxed her for a long time and couldn't stop her."

Pu Lianyao returned to Nangong's house from Shen's house, and went directly to Zhu Zhu's bedroom.

Nuo Da's bedroom was dimly lit, surrounded by a strong smell of disinfectant, and Zhu Zhu was lying motionless on the bed.Seeing her, Zhu Zhu's eyes became hot and she burst into tears.

"Cousin, are you okay?" Zhu Zhu looked at her: "I heard that cousin beat you? Did you take the medicine? I'll help you."

Zhu Zhu bit her lip, and more tears of grievance fell down.

"Look, I've already told you, if you dare to provoke my cousin when he is angry, how could he not hit you." Pu Lianyao took a piece of paper from the table and handed it to her.

Zhu Zhu didn't take her tissue, but grabbed her outstretched hand, stared at her anxiously and said: "Lianyao, I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to divorce Nangong Chen, please help me good?"

"What did you say?" Pu Lianyao looked at her in surprise, and then laughed: "Cousin, it's not like you don't know cousin's temper. He hit you because he was angry. Just wait until he gets over it."

"No. It's not like that. Grandma wants to kill me, she wants to use my heart to save others..." Zhu Zhu paused for a moment, then suddenly asked: "By the way, Lian Yao, tell me, who is Mrs. Jing? Has grandma been looking for her destined lover just to treat her illness? Is this really the case?"

"Who did you listen to?" Pu Lianyao looked at her suspiciously.

"I overheard grandma talking to Nangong Chen last night."

"Then you believe it?"

"Shouldn't I believe it?" Zhu Zhu looked at her with tears in his eyes.

"Madam Jing has been dead for hundreds of years."

"What?" Zhu Zhu was stunned.

Pu Lianyao smiled and said: "It is rumored that my cousin owed a woman in his previous life, so he was cursed and asked him to spend his whole life to pay off the debt, so he must find his destined lover in this life, and the woman who owed him in his previous life What is it called Jingqi, that is, the rumored Mrs. Jing."

Zhu Zhu was stunned for a while, then asked in a low voice: "You mean that Mrs. Jing was Nan Gongchen's lover in her previous life? Or Bai Muqing's previous life?"

Pu Lianyao nodded: "Do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it."

"Then why did grandma still say that? She said that she would use my heart to save Mrs. Jing in three months' time?"

Pu Lianyao glanced at the door and lowered her voice: "To say something disrespectful, grandma has been tortured by these rumors to the point of madness, so she just believes what Master Wang said."

"But isn't Mrs. Jing already dead, how can I save her?"

"Ms. Jing's body has been well preserved in the ancestral hall of the Nangong family." After finishing speaking, Pu Lianyao made a silent gesture to her: "This is a secret, and no one else knows it except the people of the Nangong family. Don't say it out there."

Zhu Zhu was so frightened that his eyes widened, and he became more and more stunned.

She has only seen about preserving corpses in movies and novels, but she has never heard of it in reality!
"Why didn't you tell me this two years ago?" Zhu Zhu stared at her angrily.

"I thought you knew."

"How could I know?" Zhu Zhu said angrily, "Nan Gongchen never told me, and it's even more impossible for the old lady to tell me these things, right?"

Seeing that she was angry, Pu Lianyao quickly patted her on the back of the hand to comfort her: "Don't worry, think about how it is possible to save a person who has been dead for hundreds of years? Grandma believed in rumors too much and lost the most basic distinction between years." Ability. But my cousin is still awake, he will definitely not let grandma mess around, you just need to stay here with peace of mind."

Although Pu Lianyao kept reassuring her that nothing would happen, Zhu Zhu still felt the creeps all over her body.

It's not that she has never been to the ancestral hall of the Nangong family, but every time she goes there, she comes back after offering sacrifices to the ancestors. She has never noticed that there is Mrs. Jing in the ancestral hall.

It is obviously impossible to revive a person who has been dead for hundreds of years. Of course she doesn't believe in such things, but the old lady does.

Pu Lianyao actually wanted her to stay at Nangong's house with peace of mind?How could she be at ease under such circumstances?
After breakfast, Nan Gongchen brought little Wanqing to the hospital. Seeing Qiao Feng, a smile finally appeared on Xiao Wanqing's face. She called out and ran over cheerfully.

Qiao Feng hugged her on his lap habitually, and finally a little smile appeared on his face.

He stroked her little head with a smile: "Didn't I see Mom and Dad sleep well last night?"

Xiao Wanqing glanced at Nangong Chen and nodded, "I slept well."

In order not to leave a shadow in her heart, on the way here just now, Nan Gongchen has successfully 'forgot' for her about falling into the water last night.

"Father, Uncle Chen said that Mom was injured a little bit, how is Mom doing now?" Xiao Wanqing stared at Qiao Feng and asked sensiblely.

Qiao Feng glanced at the door panel of the ward, suppressed his sadness and said: "The doctor said that my mother will recover soon, so don't worry about Wan Qing."

The scratch on Wanqing's forehead still looked painful, Qiao Feng looked at her wound and asked distressedly: "Did you apply medicine to the wound on Wanqing's head? Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, Uncle Chen has already applied the medicine for Wan Qing." Little Wan Qing glanced at Nangong Chen beside her and said.

Qiao Feng looked up at Nangong Chen who was sitting on the opposite chair, and said two words to him: "Thank you."

"Thank you, no need. Didn't you also say that the mother and daughter were harmed by me?" Nan Gongchen said calmly.

Other than that, the two of them still haven't had any communication with each other.

Qiao Feng lowered his head and said to the little Wanqing in his arms: "Wanqing, I'll ask my uncle to pick you up later, can't you be disobedient and know?"

"No, I want to stay here with my mother, I haven't seen my mother yet." Xiao Wanqing protested.

"Guys, Wan Qing, the hospital is unhygienic, you can't stay here for too long."

"But... I want to see my mother."

"Don't worry, when mom wakes up, I will ask uncle to send you over to see her."

Finally, Xiao Wanqing no longer insisted, but nodded obediently: "Alright then, but after Mom wakes up, Dad must let me come and see Mom."

"It will." Qiao Feng agreed.

With the addition of a little Wanqing, the scene finally became less static.Twenty minutes later, Qiao Siheng came over, he greeted Nangong Chen as if nothing had happened, then stretched out his arms to Xiao Wanqing, and hugged her high again.While holding her up, she said in a pitiful tone: "My poor Wanqing, look at this little forehead getting hurt again and again, it's almost becoming unattractive."

"Mom said my injury would recover." Xiao Wanqing said seriously.

"Yeah, that's right." Qiao Siheng nodded: "Wan Qing looks so juicy and cute, even with scars, she's still very pretty. You keep asking Uncle Chen if she is."

As expected, little Wanqing turned to Nangong Chen, and asked solemnly: "Uncle Chen, is it like this?"

The corners of Nangong Chen's lips twitched, and he pulled out a faint smile with difficulty: "Yes, no matter whether she is hurt or not, Wan Qing is the cutest and most beautiful."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Xiao Wanqing said gratefully.

Qiao Sixi put little Wanqing on the ground, and smiled at Nangong Chen: "Such a lovely child, don't lose your mother's love because of this, otherwise Wanqing will hate you forever."

Nangong Chen felt a chill in his heart, he turned his face away slightly.

Qiao Siheng didn't say anything more, and held onto little Wanqing: "Wanqing, let's go."

Xiao Wanqing waved goodbye to the two of them: "Goodbye Dad, goodbye Uncle Chen."

Nan Gongchen looked at the back of her and Qiao Siheng leaving together, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he turned his gaze back again.
-
From morning to noon, Nangong Chen and Qiao Feng never left the door of the ICU.

No one has the heart to leave, nor is he willing to leave.Fortunately, in the afternoon, the doctor finally brought good news to the two of them, and Bai Muqing woke up.

As soon as they heard the news that Bai Muqing had woken up, the two of them immediately went up to greet her. Everyone wanted to see Bai Muqing in the shortest possible time.

The doctor looked at the two of them and said, "The patient is still very weak and in a bad mood, so it's not suitable for talking and moving a lot. Let one of you go in first. Whoever is her husband, come with me."

"I am..." Almost in unison.

The doctor looked at the two suspiciously, and asked, "Who is it?"

"I am..." Nan Gongchen came to the doctor's side in a few steps.

Qiao Feng didn't have her speed, nor could he compete with him, so he could only watch Nangong and the doctor walk into the ward.

In the ward, Bai Muqing had indeed woken up. Her face was red and swollen, her head was wrapped with thick gauze, and her half-open eyes were staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Her heart tightened for the countless times, Nan Gongchen leaned over and took her little hand and called softly: "Mu Qing..."

His voice was very soft, but Bai Muqing on the hospital bed still trembled slightly, she quietly rolled her eyes, and looked at his face.Little by little, her eye sockets began to get wet, and soon tears welled up.

Seeing her crying, Nan Gongchen couldn't help panicking, and asked softly: "Mu Qing, why are you crying? Does it hurt? Just bear with it, the wound will definitely hurt at first, and it will be fine in a few days gone."

Bai Muqing stared at him, without any words, but more tears fell down, the tears were like a river that broke its embankment, and it was out of control.

Looking at this familiar face, Bai Muqing's mind went blank, and she seemed to have lost all language ability, unable to speak a word.At this time, she didn't know what to say, there were thousands of words, too many, so much that she didn't know where to start.

She cried for so long that Jiuhe couldn't even see the doctor beside him, so he stood up and reminded: "Miss Yi, your body is weak, and you will collapse if you continue crying like this. You must adjust your emotions."

After the doctor finished speaking to Bai Muqing, he turned to Nangong and said, "Sir, maybe Miss Yi doesn't want to see you, or you'd better go out first."

Nangong Chen looked at the tears streaming down Bai Muqing's eyes, maybe she really didn't want to see him, she hated him so much, annoyed him so much, yet he rushed to appear in front of her when she was most vulnerable .Although reluctant, he still nodded sadly: "Okay, Mu Qing, don't cry, I'll go out right away, and I'll let Qiao Feng come in to accompany you."

He let go of her palm, but she didn't let go of him.

The slender fingers wrapped tightly around his, as if frozen.

Nangong Chen lowered his head and glanced at her little hand. Just when he was relieved to think that Bai Muqing was nostalgic for him, she suddenly let go of her hand and uttered the first word in more than 20 minutes at him: "Go!"

The little joy in his heart disappeared suddenly, and his face was dyed with disappointment. He nodded sadly: "Okay, I'll go."

After finishing speaking, he took a step back and reluctantly walked out.

Qiao Feng was waiting at the door of the ward. Nangong Chen stopped and looked at him: "The person you want to see is you."

Qiao Feng smiled gratifiedly, and rocked the wheelchair into the ward.

When he came to Bai Muqing's hospital bed, there were still tears in Bai Muqing's eyes, and a large area of ​​the pillow was wet.

How long has she been crying?!

Qiao Feng wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't cry, everything is over."

Bai Muqing stared at him, and after a long while, she weakly uttered a few words: "Feng, thank you."

This "thank you" instantly shortened the distance between them. Qiao Feng looked at her in surprise, seeing the gratitude in her eyes, and smiled after a while: "You're welcome."

Bai Muqing was still staring at him, as if she had known him for the first day, and she hadn't left him for a long time.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Qiao Feng touched his face with a smile: "It's true that I haven't groomed myself for a long time. Go back tonight and groom myself."

A smile finally appeared on Bai Muqing's face. She glanced behind Qiao Feng and asked, "Where's Wan Qing? Why didn't she come with you?"

"Wan Qing came here in the morning and was picked up by her uncle."

"Is she all right?"

"Very good." Qiao Feng smiled and held her palm: "You are weak now, don't think so much, and don't worry about Wan Qing, just take good care of your body."

Bai Muqing nodded her head: "I will."

She will, she will take good care of her body.
-
After two days of recuperation, Zhu Zhu's body finally got better.

She came to the door of Nangong Chen's bedroom, knocked on the door, opened it and walked in.

Nangong Chen was changing clothes, when he saw her, his face sank instantly, and he looked at her coldly: "You still have the face to come to my room?"

Zhu Zhu took a few steps in front of him, and looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Young Master, I know that I made a big mistake, and I also know that I will never be forgiven by you again in this life. What happened to Mu Qing is my responsibility." I acted impulsively, and I know that impulsiveness cannot be a reason for a crime. So I am willing to pay the price, I am willing to fulfill you and Mu Qing, and I am willing to quit unconditionally."

She handed over the signed divorce agreement in her hand, a simple one.

Nangong Chen lowered his eyes to glance at the divorce agreement in her hand, took it over and quickly glanced at it, then raised his eyes and looked at her with a sneer: "Close and leave the house? This is not like your Miss Zhu's personality."

Before, she was always refusing to divorce, even if he exchanged half of the Nangong family with her, she would never agree to divorce, but today she suddenly changed her temper and is willing to leave the house?

"As long as you don't hand me over to the police, as long as you don't put me in jail, I'm willing to leave the house." Zhu Zhu found an ideal reason.

"You know that grandma will wipe away your guilt, and I will do nothing to you like before, otherwise you wouldn't have the guts to pay for murder, wouldn't you?" Nangong Chen raised the divorce agreement in his hand and sneered: " What kind of play are you playing, are you retreating to advance? Do you think this trick is still useful to me?"

"No, no, I really want to atone for myself." Zhu Zhu shook his head.

Nangong Chen leaned over, gritted his teeth and said, "You should think about it, once I sign this word, you will have no way out."

"I've made up my mind." Zhu Zhu nodded.

Nangong Chen took a step back, and said: "I have accepted the divorce agreement, but if you really want to repent and fulfill Mu Qing and me, you might as well convince grandma first, because I..." Nangong Chen mockingly smiled: " Just like Nangong Chen in your mind, without any right to speak or decide."

"Young master..." Zhu Zhu was in a hurry: "I can't find grandma, she will definitely not agree, but I can leave secretly, disappear from your eyes completely just like back then, and never come back again. You Make arrangements for me, and I'll leave right away, okay?"

Just like back then...

Nangong Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, turned to look at her and spit out: "You are so understanding and courteous, I am reluctant to let you go."

"I."

Nangong Chen took a step towards her, raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder: "I like sensible and kind women, behave well, maybe I will forget the wrong things you did before, and fall in love with you again. "

After speaking, he turned and walked out.

"Young Master." Zhu Zhu chased after him anxiously, the wounds on her body were hurt by her excessive movements, so she had to stop and watch his figure in the corridor.

Nangong Chen returned to the car, a bitter smile stained the corners of his lips.

He looked up at Zhu Zhu's bedroom on the second floor, and it turned out that this was her purpose, far away from him, just like back then!
Back then, she ran away without a trace after knowing about his illness, but this time she ran away from him in such a hurry, it seems that she knew what happened three months later.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

In fact, Zhu Zhu's reaction is human nature, who can really die for the other half?If Zhu Zhu wasn't so evil, he would swear to his death to keep her safe, but when he thought of what she did to Bai Muqing, he couldn't help but want to keep her and let her live through such a tormented life.

She wants to marry her wholeheartedly, so let her enjoy the fun of being the young wife of Nangong!
-
Bai Muqing is recovering well, and has been transferred from intensive care unit to general ward.

Qiao Feng put the breakfast in the insulated box into a bowl to feed her, Bai Muqing reached out to take it, and said, "I'll do it myself."

Qiao Feng put the bowl back and said, "It's okay, you are still very weak now, can you eat by yourself from tomorrow?"

Bai Muqing nodded, she opened her mouth to take a bite, and couldn't help but ask, "Where is Wanqing? Why hasn't she come over yet?"

"Seeing that you are in a hurry." Qiao Feng smiled and said: "He is already on the way, and she will arrive after you finish eating."

She smiled shyly, in just three or ten minutes, she had already asked three or four times, because she missed Wan Qing so much.

In the intensive care unit before, the doctor didn't let others in very often, and she just met Wan Qing in a hurry, and she was still wearing a protective suit.It will be hard to get out of the intensive care unit, and she can see family and friends casually. Of course, she can't wait to see her precious daughter.

Sure enough, little Wanqing arrived just after she finished her meal.

"Mom..." Wan Qing was also very happy, and flew into her arms like a happy bird: "Mom, I can finally hug you."

"Mom can finally hug you and see you." Bai Muqing hugged her, smiling gratifiedly.

"Mom, are you still in pain?"

"Mom doesn't hurt anymore." Bai Muqing let go of her, looked down at her seriously, as if she hadn't seen her for months or years.

The cute little face, the soft black hair, and the sweet smile, everything in her eyes can make her heart surge with excitement.She suddenly raised her head, looked at Qiao Feng and asked, "Wan Qing was born by me, right?"

Qiao Feng nodded with a smile: "Well, my own, it's just like a fake."

"Mom, I'm a good baby for you and Dad." Xiao Wanqing said with a smile.

"Well, you are Mom and Dad's baby." Bai Muqing bowed her head and kissed her forehead: "Mom will definitely protect our little baby from now on, and will never be bullied by bad guys again."

"En!" Xiao Wanqing nodded and laughed happily.

At the door of the ward, Nan Gongchen looked at the family of three getting along well with each other through the small window, but he never knocked on the door with his raised hand.

He really shouldn't disturb such a harmonious and beautiful scene, but he really wanted to go in and see Bai Muqing, even if it was to say hello and listen to her voice.

It wasn't until Wanqing was going to school and the mother and daughter reluctantly said goodbye that Nangong Chen finally appeared in everyone's sight.
