married daughter

Chapter 292 Chapter 334~335

Ruan Yunting felt chilled when she heard the words, she knew that the old lady would say this, she still did not give up and wanted to give it a try, even though she was mentally prepared, she still felt desolate after hearing such a decisive answer from the old lady.Lifting the hem of her skirt, she knelt down slowly, bowed her head and said:

"Don't be angry with the old ancestor. Ting'er didn't rely on her status and favor to be proud, she just thought that sister Wan was alive..."

"Ting'er." The old lady interrupted Ruan Yunting, "You have to know, which one is more important, a person's life or the glory of the family? When necessary, that elixir can change the fate of the family. I told you earlier, even if I am critically ill, I will not take this pill."

"Yes." Ruan Yunting lowered her head, bangs covered her brows and eyes, and the old lady couldn't see clearly what she was thinking again.

After finishing speaking, the old lady felt that she was too nervous and anxious, and she coughed lightly as if she had been poked into a sore spot all of a sudden, but there were still some things that she had to say.

"Only you and I know about Xiuyan Dan, and I hope that no third person will know about it."

"Yes." Who knew she didn't want to discuss it, the old lady said so, and she agreed.

The old lady looked at Ruan Yunting who was kneeling in front of her, and after a while she waved her hand and said, "Go down."

"Yes, Ting'er is leaving."

Ruan Yunting went back to Jingsi Garden, took a few mouthfuls of dinner and sent all the servants out, and stayed alone in the quiet bedroom thinking about it.

In the eyes of the old lady, Xu Xiangwan has always been a disobedient pawn. For this kind of girl who refuses to be manipulated by the family, she can secretly use tricks to disobey Bizitang before entering the palace, which shows that she has a very high opinion.Presumably in the palace, Imperial Concubine Renxian couldn't play with Xu Xiangwan.

In Pine Age Hall just now, the old lady didn't show any sadness or joy, and she didn't show the slightest surprise when she said that Xu Xiangwan was actually poisoned. It can be seen that the old lady knew the inside story, or maybe, the old lady knew the inside story first People, just haven't shown it all the time.

In short, to save Xu Xiangwan, the old lady would never do anything.I can only think of other ways.Now that the matter is known to her, she will not refuse to save her. On the premise of self-protection, she can help as much as she can.

Ruan Yunting didn't sleep well all night. In her dream, she always dreamed that Xu Xiangwan was wearing a white gauze dress, standing beside her bed with a smile, with a faint smile on her beautiful face, she took her hand and stood up softly. He coaxed her out to play.But as soon as they left the bedroom, they fell into the icy lake. Her body was numb from the cold, and she struggled to float to the surface, but the heavy clothes soaked in water made her unable to exert any strength. Xu Xiangwan's face gradually faded. As Xu Ningfang, she seemed to see a person struggling in the ice hole again.

"Ah!" Ruan Yunting sat up suddenly with a cry of surprise, her head was dripping with cold sweat, and her clothes were already drenched in cold sweat, her lower abdomen and waist slumped and ached.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Chanjuan entered the room with a candlestick in her hand, seeing Ruan Yunting sitting on the bed in a daze with her long hair on, she hastily lit the silk lamp on the table beside her.

"It's okay, I just had a nightmare." The lower body was wet and sticky, and her lower abdomen hurt, Ruan Yunting smiled wryly: "Bring me another pajamas."

Chanjuan froze for a moment, helped Ruan Yunting to get up, saw the blood on the bed sheet, she hurriedly went down and asked the little girl to boil hot water, and then helped Ruan Junting take a bath and change clothes with Hongdou, Zhao Linmu's family couldn't sleep either, Made ginger soup for Ruan Yunting.The whole room was so busy that they didn't fall asleep until [-]:[-] a.m. Chou.

The next day, Ruan Yunting went to school as usual, and when she was going out, she happened to pass by the car that the Second Master Tang and Wei Shi were about to enter the palace. She faintly heard a mother crying for her child who was about to die.The emotions that had been suppressed all the time became heavier.

Here, power, money and status are paramount, what does human life matter?Whether it's her, Xu Xiangwan, or even the imperial concubine Renxian, they are just pawns in Mrs. Xu's hands. How long a pawn can survive on the chessboard depends entirely on the player's routine and mood.If it is useless, it will naturally be thrown away.Players will not consider that they are also flesh and blood, and they are also raised by their biological parents. If they die, their parents will be sad and distressed.

Those in high positions have long regarded human life as nothing, so how can they care about how a mother breaks her heart and soul for her lost child.

The heavy heart was suppressed for a whole day, and when school was over, it began to rain heavily.

The rain came suddenly, Ruan Yunting was walking on the steps down the mountain, and was completely drenched.When she trot all the way down the mountain, the rain became lighter instead.

The college uniform was soaked and stuck to her body, and Ruan Yunting's teeth chattered when the cold wind blew.

"Miss, you have to be patient for a while, and you will return to the mansion later. You ask your personal maid to prepare hot ginger soup for you, just use it." The woman who followed the car said in a caring and considerate tone.

Ruan Yunting smiled and said tremblingly, "Go to the church in the eastern suburbs first."

"Church?" The mother-in-law was taken aback.

"Yes, do as I tell you." Ruan Yunting put down the curtain after saying that, and found a blanket from the car to wrap around her body.The sunflower water came yesterday, and it rained again today, coupled with overthinking, Ruan Yunting only felt that her lower abdomen hurt like a cramp, and the pain was beyond the range she could bear.

But if she wanted to save Xu Xiangwan, she had to find Shui Qiuxin now. The only way to find someone to find out Shui Qiuxin's whereabouts was to ask Shui Qiuxin's only disciple, Jun Lanzhou.

When the carriage arrived at the church, the light rain had stopped, and the sky after the rain was as blue and clear as it had been washed. The April wind was also very gentle, and the air was still filled with the fragrance of plants.Normally, Ruan Yunting would enjoy the scenery in a good mood. Today, she came here with something on her mind, and also endured the pain in her body, so she only supported her mother-in-law's hand to get out of the car.

"You wait here, I will see the two priests."

"Yes, the girl just goes about her business, and the servants are waiting here." The news of Ruan Yunting playing the harpsichord is now spread in the city, and it is not a secret that she has some friendship with foreign monks.

With a pale face, Ruan Yunting walked into the church wearing the thin blanket on the car. The long skirt stuck to her legs when she walked, outlining her curves. Fortunately, the blanket on her body served as a cover.But every time she took a step, she was in so much pain that she wished she could faint immediately, biting her lower lip, and walked into the main entrance of the church patiently after a long while.

The church was empty, and outside the colorful glass windows in the middle, warm sunlight was dyed and sprinkled in.Rows of benches were vacant, and at the front, Jun Lanzhou was seen wearing a black robe, looking up at the statue of the Virgin bathed in colorful sunlight.Not far from him, Angela was wearing a peach-red short jacket and trousers, staring at Jun Lanzhou with big eyes like glass beads.

Ruan Yunting's arrival probably stirred up the air flow, which made Jun Lanzhou feel something strange. When she turned her head, she saw the double carved wooden doors open. The figure of her figure was elongated and projected on the ground. The woman walked towards her slowly, leaving behind the golden sunlight behind the arch, as if a lotus flower blossomed with every step, and gradually came to her side, and the figure gradually became clearer.

"Ting'er?"

"Lan Zhou."

Ruan Yunting originally wanted to smile, or maybe her smile was too forced and her face was too ugly.Jun Lanzhou was taken aback, and grabbed her arm covered with blankets, her long hair was soaked and stuck to her pale cheeks, making her look extremely weak.

"Why is it raining? Are you all soaked?"

Ruan Yunting nodded, reluctantly said: "I have something to ask you."

"You go and change your clothes first, we are talking." Jun Lanzhou said with some anger in his tone: "You are not in good health, and you dare to get in the rain? If you get a cold and fall ill, just wait for the bitter medicine! You Is it sincerely worrying?"

Jun Lanzhou reprimanded him as he walked, although he was a little fierce, but his worries were clearly evident.

Ruan Yunting encountered such a big incident, and the old lady refused to save her, which made her feel unhappy. The chance of rescuing Xu Xiangwan was also very slim. Coupled with the physical pain and the cold after the rain, several emotions were stacked Together, she felt that Jun Lanzhou's reprimand sounded extraordinarily warm, her eyes were hot, and she almost shed tears.

"It's okay, I just want to know the whereabouts of Uncle Shui. Did he write to you?"

"Not today. The master was recently in Zuojiazhuang, [-] miles east of the city. He gave me a message yesterday evening. Why, do you have something to do with him?" Jun Lanzhou stopped, and suddenly turned around to look at Ruan Yunting, "You look like this?" Poor, could it be that you are sick?" As he spoke, he grabbed Ruan Yunting's wrist to check his pulse.

Ruan Yunting struggled, her face flushed, "No, I'm fine, I have more important things to find him."

"Don't shy away from medical treatment. If you need to take medicine, you must take medicine. You..." Jun Lanzhou put his finger on her inch-close ruler, and his voice stopped abruptly. Jun's face was also a little red, and he let go of his hand after coughing, and said calmly : "You, I have a way to cure this, you come with me."

Jun Lanzhou turned around and walked ahead with his hands behind his back, walking steadily. Ruan Yunting, flushed with shame, followed behind him, not daring to look at his back.

Angela watched them go away silently, until Jun Lanzhou closed the wooden door as if she had forgotten that there was such a person, blocking the sunlight from entering, and then lowered her head in frustration.

Brother Lan Zhou treats her very well on weekdays. Except for her parents, no one in this world loves her as much as he does.It was he who made her confirm that even a foreigner with a completely different face is worthy of respect and love in this indifferent world.

However, why does such a good person stop paying attention to the so-called "Sister Ruan" once he sees her?She just wants to keep Jun Lanzhou's gaze, and keep him by her side, it will take a long, long time, can't that work?
Jun Lanzhou and Shui Qiuxin have not been studying medicine for a long time, and they still don't know many diseases, but after acupuncture and moxibustion for Ruan Yunting, her pain has indeed been relieved a lot.

"Okay, I wrote the house first, and asked Angela to help get the medicine, and I'll be right back."

"it is good."

Ruan Yunting was lying on the simple wooden bed, and she changed into a gray coarse cloth gown.It was Jun Lanzhou's clothes that Jun Lanzhou found temporarily for her to wear. The college uniform she wore when she came here was left to dry by the fireplace with a bonfire.Jun Lanzhou said that it will be dry soon.

The quilt is not soft enough, and there are even some hard lumps inside.But the coarse quilt was washed very clean, and there was a faint scent of grass on it, as well as a strange and familiar smell that belonged to Jun Lanzhou.

The body no longer hurts, and Ruan Yunting feels drowsy.She struggled to stay awake, and later asked Jun Lanzhou how to contact Shui Qiuxin.

The news Jun Lanzhou gave her just now made her very excited.Shui Qiuxin was in Zuojiazhuang, [-] miles east of the city, at least she wouldn't be lost. Xu Xiangwan might still have a glimmer of hope.

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open and closed again. Jun Lanzhou came to him with a bowl of dark red steaming medicinal soup, put it on the low table in front of Ruan Yunting, and sat down on the stool beside the bed. .

"Take this first, there is a pharmacy nearby, and Angela has already gone to get the medicine."

"Thank you." Ruan Yunting got up, sat on the wooden bed with her legs crossed, picked up the medicinal soup that night, and asked, "Is this red sugar water?" She took a sip, and looked at him inquiringly: "There seems to be other medicines in it." thing?"

"Well, red granulated sugar nourishes qi and blood, relieves pain, ginger appetizers and spleen, relieves cold poison and blood stasis, and then adds hawthorn. This soup looks simple, and it is right for your symptoms. But you are weak and cold, and you suffer Cool, you have to take medicine for recuperation when you go back, and Angela will send the medicine back in a while."

Ruan Yunting ate the sugar water, and her body really became much warmer.He smiled gratefully at Jun Lanzhou and said, "Lan Zhou, can you contact Uncle Shangshui?"

"You tell me what happened first?" There must be a reason for running in such a hurry.

Since Ruan Yunting wanted to find Shui Qiuxin, she had to go through Jun Lanzhou, and there was no need to keep this matter from him, so she told him what happened in the palace in detail, and finally said: "I am here I don't have many friends here, and although I haven't met Sister Wan for a short time, I really hit it off with her, and she has helped me before."

"That's because you saved her first, and she felt that she owed you." Jun Lanzhou said bluntly, without Ruan Yunting's help and request, how could the master heal Xu Xiangwan, who had never met before?That one time alone consumed all the precious Zixue Danrui.

"In any case, friends come and go. And I really can't watch her lose her life. If I can do it, I will try my best."

Ruan Yunting said that's all, quietly waiting for Jun Lanzhou to speak.

Jun Lanzhou clasped his shoulders with both hands, and sat on a bench with a golden knife and a big horse, his long brows were frowning, and his peach blossom eyes were narrowed, obviously considering the pros and cons.

After a long while, Jun Lanzhou asked, "How does your old lady evaluate this matter?"

Such a sharp mind, immediately associated with the Xu family's attitude.Ruan Yunting sighed inwardly, and said bluntly: "The old ancestor doesn't care about sister Wan's life or death at all."

"That is to say, Wan Ronghua is not in line with your old lady's wishes? Poisoning? I have met Wan Ronghua before, and she acts cautiously. In the palace, she is afraid that she is extremely cautious in food and clothing. It is not easy to poison her. , unless it is done by someone you trust and wants to put him to death."

"You mean..." Ruan Yunting's eyes widened suddenly, she couldn't believe it, but she also believed it.Because from the moment she helped Xu Xiangwan escape from Bizitang, the old lady's treatment of Xu Xiangwan was not as good as before.

"Did the Xu family really do it?"

"It's not impossible. The draft is about to start. The Xu family's bet may have been placed on someone else. Wanronghua is unparalleled in beauty, and she is favored by the emperor. With her existence, let alone the noble concubine Renxian and the emperor. Concubine Lu Gui, even those newcomers to the palace might be defeated by her hands. If such a beauty who is loved by three thousand people can't be used by him, then the only way is to get rid of it."

Jun Lanzhou said it lightly, as if getting rid of a person is as easy as trampling an ant to death.Ruan Yunting felt chills down her spine, the old lady was decisive, she could really do this kind of thing.

If she were Xu Xiangwan, in a place like the imperial palace where people cannibalize people without spitting out their bones, the family can't rely on her, her mother's family is weak, and the only closest person is her husband, but the husband can't belong to her alone, but It belongs to the people of the world.Be very careful, you can avoid the enemy's open and dark arrows, but you can't escape the plot of the tribe, how can she be so embarrassing?
The more Ruan Yunting thought about it, the more sad she felt, and she remained silent for a long time.

Jun Lanzhou didn't speak, and rubbed his chin with one hand.The house was very quiet.

Suddenly the door was knocked several times, Angela pushed the door open, came to Jun Lanzhou panting, and put three packs of medicine wrapped in kraft paper on his lap: "Brother Lanzhou, I'm back. This time It's left over from the medicine money." As he spoke, he stuffed a few copper coins into Jun Lanzhou.

Jun Lanzhou smiled and said, "So fast?" Handed a few copper coins to Angela: "You can buy whatever you like. Thank you today." The smile was very gentle and doting.

Angela looked at his beautiful face and the scar on his left cheek, pursed her mouth and said, "It would be great if brother Lanzhou's face wasn't ruined." Clutching a few copper coins, she shook her head and left the room regretfully.

Ruan Yunting was originally affected by Xu Xiangwan's matter, but Angela's words brought her back to reality. Facing Jun Lanzhou, she felt guilty and blamed herself.

Seeing her serious flash of remorse, Jun Lanzhou secretly sighed that Angela's words were not thoughtful, but also knew that the more he explained, the more heavy Ruan Yunting's mind might be, so she continued to discuss the question just now, bluntly said :
"To be honest, if I were you, I would just go with the flow and not save her."

"Why?" Ruan Yunting thought that he would agree with her actions, so she tilted her head and looked at him.

Jun Lanzhou said: "You have a special status now. It is the time when you need to protect yourself and the old lady's love for you. It is best not to get involved in these right and wrong forever. Your old lady agrees that Wan Ronghua died silently, then she is You have to die for a reason, you saved him, didn't you fight against Mrs. Xu? Yes, that is a human life, judging from the current situation, saving her is of no benefit to you at all, and it will cause trouble for you."

Ruan Yunting pursed her pale lips, "I don't know what you said. I really don't want to see her lose her life. Comparing people's hearts to my own, if it's me and her switching, I need help now. I would also like someone to help me."

The corner of Jun Lanzhou's mouth twitched, and he said with a half-smile: "If you really need help, will she help you?"

Ruan Yunting was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to answer.

Jun Lanzhou looked at her quietly, like a gentleman waiting for a student to answer.Ruan Yunting pondered for a while, "Lan Zhou, I know that everything you said is for my own good, but I still want to take a risk."

Jun Lanzhou sighed: "Forget it, I also guessed that you would not give up. But to be clear, the master is notoriously willing to die, and he also knows Wanronghua's thoughts on him in the past. , it will be difficult for you to move him."

"That's right..." Ruan Yunting blinked Jianshui's big eyes, and said: "It's really impossible, I have to go out to pick him up. I think if I beg in person, he will definitely agree."

"What if he doesn't agree?"

"Then I'll learn from you. I can't afford to kneel. Uncle Shui is not a heartless person, so he should agree."

"I have another question. If the master agrees to enter the palace to save Wanronghua, how do you arrange for him to enter the palace? The palace guards are strictly guarded. When Wanronghua was dying, the emperor often stayed by her side. The master went, or You can't even get close to her."

Ruan Yunting secretly praised Jun Lanzhou for being considerate, and said: "I naturally thought of the way to go to the palace to see a doctor. It all depends on whether he will nod. He nodded first, and the rest can be discussed. Lanzhou, please Send a letter to Uncle Shui first, saying that Ting'er is in a hurry to find him, please don't leave Zuojiazhuang for now."

"That's good." Jun Lanzhou said again: "Your mansion is tightly guarded, and you have to go to school during the day, when will you go to Zuojiazhuang to find my master?"

"It depends on you." Jun Lanzhou was resourceful, and Ruan Yunting simply handed over the question to him, and took the medicine package that Angela had just brought in to study by herself.

Jun Lanzhou stood up, walked around the room a few times, and suddenly said: "We can find brother Bei, he has a lot of weight in the academy, why don't we ask him to propose with the head of the mountain that the students of the academy go to the eastern suburbs Go outing near the Ping’an Temple, and Bei Ge’er will lead you, so you can take the opportunity to go to Zuojiazhuang. It’s a [-]-mile journey, and you’ll arrive soon on horseback.”

The more Ruan Yunting listened, the more she felt that Jun Lanzhou was really smart, and she patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "I knew you must find a way to help me." She didn't show any twitch, and she didn't have the shyness just now.

Jun Lanzhou stood up, went to the fireplace to look at Ruan Yunting's clothes, then looked at the sky outside, and said, "Hurry up and go back to the house, take those three pieces of medicine with you, remember to take one pair a day. If the old lady asks, you can say that you went to see a foreign monk for medical treatment."

"It's getting late indeed." Ruan Yunting can't go back too late, the matter of left and right has been decided, and on the premise of not hurting herself, she will definitely do it.

Ruan Yunting changed her clothes properly, Jun Lanzhou put on a black gauze hat and followed Ruan Yunting and left the church. Before going out, Jun Lanzhou said: "You go back to the mansion, Brother Bei, then you don't want to go, I will find a way Go and see Brother Bei, and tell him the plan of this matter."

Ruan Yunting nodded, took a few steps forward and suddenly turned around, and said to Jun Lanzhou, "Lanzhou, will you change your face? If possible, be careful when you get to Brother Bei, I'm afraid the walls have ears."
