History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 128

Zhu Hanxiang was already unconscious when she was carried over.Although it's spring now, the weather hasn't warmed up yet, and the river water was icy cold at night, Zhu Hanxiang was pushed down unsuspectingly, and took a few sips of cold river water in panic, his face was already blue at this moment.

The doctor arrived soon, and vacated a warm pavilion in the Zhaixing Pavilion to treat her. Lin Lang had to follow Wu and others to have a look.A group of people surrounded Zhu Hanxiang, and Mrs. Zhu was so anxious that she burst into tears and asked what was going on.

The one who rescued Zhu Hanxiang was a trader, and when he told about the situation at that time, Mrs. Zhu immediately asked someone to catch the culprit.The peddler replied: "After the man pushed Miss Zhu into the water, he also jumped into the water and committed suicide. It looks like a young girl." Mrs. Zhu said angrily, "Then get her up!"

Wu's complexion changed slightly as she listened. It was really inappropriate to keep Qin Zhen and Lin Lang on such an occasion, so she quickly asked Mei to take her two sisters back, and she stayed here.One is that Zhu Hanxiang is seriously ill, it is not good for Mrs. Wu to leave now, and the other is that the case suddenly broke out on Yuan Xiye, so she has to be sent to the yamen. It is beneficial and harmless for her to stay to see the situation now.

After all, Qin Zhen is a little girl, seeing the turmoil by the Lingbo River, Zhu Hanxiang was breathless, and heard that someone committed suicide, how could she not be afraid, and hurriedly left in the car.

Although the two sisters had speculations in their hearts, they didn't dare to talk nonsense after they returned home, so Mei would tell Mrs. Qin the whole story.

It was already late at night, and Mrs. Qin seldom stayed up late at ordinary times, but now that she was alarmed by the news, she naturally lost her sleepiness.Of course, Qin Zhen and Lin Lang didn't want to go back to rest. The grandparents and grandchildren sat around together, waiting for the news from Mrs. Wu.

It was already Zishi when Mrs. Wu came back. After entering the mansion, she went straight to Rui'an Hall. She was not surprised when she saw that the grandparents and grandchildren were still up. She pushed back the maids and women, and said in a low voice: "Tuixiang girl tonight. The one who entered the water was Miss Yulian from the Shen family."

"Shen Yulian?" Qin Zhen exclaimed, she never thought that the girl who usually only followed Zhu Hanxiang's lead would do such a thing.

Wu nodded and said: "I didn't believe it at first, but after Miss Rong heard Xin'er rushing over and hugged her and passed out crying, I dared to believe it." She sighed, probably unable to accept such a change.When Shen Yulian was caught, she was placed by the river. Of course, Wu would not go over to look at it, but seeing that already frozen body from a distance already made people feel uncomfortable.

The case had been sent to the yamen, and spread throughout Huaiyang City the next day.

The daughter of Shen Sima's family committed suicide by pushing Jiedushi Zhu's beloved daughter into the water. Although people did not believe it, there were still speculations.It is well known that the two families of Shen and Zhu have a good relationship. Shen Congjia and Zhu Chengyu are almost inseparable. Zhu Hanxiang and Shen Yulian have also known each other since childhood. A few days ago, I heard that Zhu Chengyu was going to marry Shen Yulian. Why did such a thing happen all of a sudden?
Shen Sima and his wife couldn't believe it when they first heard the bad news, and they didn't recognize Shen Yulian's body until they saw Shen Yulian's body.Madam Zhu immediately cried out of grief, and Shen Congjia's father and son's expressions were extremely ugly.But when Shen Yulian committed suicide and tried to harm Zhu Hanxiang, can they ask the Zhu family for an explanation?

What can I say?
When Lin Lang heard about this in the Qin Mansion, her heart was heavy.At first, she just wanted to make Shen and Zhu's family estranged, so she directed the disaster to Shen Yulian, but who would have thought that Zhu Hanxiang would take such blatant revenge?What was even more unexpected was that Shen Yulian would use such a drastic method to end her life for the sake of her appearance.

Although it was Shen Zhu's character and way of handling things that made things worse, in the final analysis, it was caused by her.Lin Lang felt guilty, but she didn't say anything to the Qin family, she just locked herself in the room and copied scriptures for two days and two nights.

Xu Lang was very worried when he went to Tingyunju, seeing Lin Lang's haggard look, he couldn't comfort him for a while.He is used to seeing life and death, and has licked the blood of thousands of people with the blade of a knife, but she is only a little girl after all, how can she not blame herself when encountering such a thing?
It was rare for him to speak softly and explain a few words, but Lin Lang suddenly threw herself into his arms and burst into tears—this was the price of revenge, once she started, she would no longer be able to control the direction behind her.But she still has to go on and not suppress the Zhu family. This is what will happen to the He and Xu families in the future, and even the Qin family will not escape bad luck. You die or I forget, you can't have both.

After crying, you still have to get back on track.Although the joy of looking forward to going home has been diluted a bit, what should be prepared is still necessary. Before leaving, He Wenzhan told Lin Lang to choose some local objects from his hometown for the Qin family. Lin Lang had picked some bits and pieces before, thinking about when I also want to send some things to the sisters. These days, with Xu Lang's company, I have visited Huaiyang City, and there are four or five cars of luggage before leaving.

At the beginning of February, the capital city gradually began to feel warmer. The grass in Huaiyang City was full of warblers, and it was spring again.

The new and tender willows are swaying with the wind, and Lin Lang lifts the curtain of the car, waving goodbye.Today, apart from the Qin family, Junxu, the eldest son of Ruijun Prince's Mansion, who came to say goodbye today, stood under the pavilion in brocade clothes. Finally, linger quietly under the warm sun.

Qin Zhen walked over and said something to him, Jun Xu tilted his head to listen, a pair of swallows flew by and landed on the branch behind them.

Although Shen Yulian's death cast a lot of shadows on this trip to the south, in the end there were still many gains.

All the way to the north, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the spring is harmonious, which makes people's hearts gradually clear.After all, the Qin family was worried, and asked Qin Huaiyu to escort his cousin back to Beijing, and then went to He Wentao's place on the way - the marriage between He Jinyu and Qin Zhongshu had been delayed for a long time because of the New Year, and now that He Wentao brought up the old matter again, the Qin family naturally couldn't avoid it.

It was the end of February when we entered the capital, and the weeping willows and cherry trees on both sides of the Royal Street were full of green leaves and full of vitality.

After all, Xu Lang hadn't returned for half a year, so he could go home after entering the city, while Qin Huaiyu and Lin Lang went to He Mansion together.

The He family received the letter, and Lin Lang will be back in the next few days. He Wenzhan and the Qin family have already made arrangements to leave.As soon as Linlang's carriage entered the alley, the sharp-eyed porter ran in to report the news. When Linlang arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw that He Wenzhan had led a group of servants and mother-in-law out.

The servants went to pick up the luggage and horses. He Wenzhan, seeing that his daughter was fine, happily took Qin Huaiyu to visit Mrs. He, while Lin Lang walked in surrounded by a group of maids and women.
