married daughter

Chapter 347 Chapter 415~416 Recognition of Father and Daughter
The news that Xu Ningxia was married to the second prince as a concubine spread throughout the city. From the second day, Xu Ningxia stopped going to school and was happy to be married at home. In Xu Ningqiao's marriage, it was unexpected that the emperor would let the eighth girl Xu take the lead after saying a word. Anyway, Xu Ningxia's husband is the prince, which is also understandable.The military officials and common people in Liangcheng were discussing for a while that the seventh and eighth girls of the Xu family were all married this time. In addition, Xu Chengfeng was promoted to the third-rank Qingche general and stationed in Pengcheng. For the two favorite concubines, the Xu family's limelight is second to none.

Ruan Yunting didn't care about this matter, maybe she caught a cold due to the cold weather this year, and this month's menstruation has been a bit more difficult, her lower abdomen hurts for two days, she caught up with something spoiled, I ran to the toilet four or five times at night, but in the end I didn't even have the strength to get up, and now I can't tell why my stomach hurts.

"Girl, you will feel better if you eat another bowl of ginger soup." Hongdou helped Ruan Yunting sit up, and Chanjuan put a soft pillow behind her.

Ruan Yunting frowned, she only ate two or three spoonfuls before turning her face away, and said weakly: "No more, my stomach hurts and I feel bloated after eating."

Chanjuan worriedly said: "What should I do? Ginger is a warm thing. It should be comfortable for a girl after eating it. Why does it make her stomach hurt after eating it. Girl, don't hold back. This servant will go and invite a doctor for you."

Ruan Yunting pursed her lips and shook her head. It wasn't a serious illness at all, it was just dysmenorrhea and stomach trouble. Now the house is so busy with Xu Ningxia and Xu Ningqiao's affairs, she is going to see a doctor with great fanfare, isn't it just adding to the trouble? .Besides, she wouldn't be ashamed enough if this matter was seen by the doctor.

"Hey! Girl, if you're sick, don't go see him. Don't you expect to get better soon? You haven't been out of the mansion for two days, don't you want to see Mr. Jun?"

Ruan Yunting rolled her eyes, "What are you shouting about?"

Hongdou sighed and said softly: "Girl, don't be angry, Chanjuan has no intentions." Then she turned around and said in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"

Chanjuan stuck out her tongue, she also felt that what she said was wrong, as if the girl went out of the house to see men. "

"I'm fine right now, you guys go to bed too." She was ill for two days, Hongdou and Chanjuan went to bed together, and both of them got panda eyes.

Hongdou shook her head and covered Ruan Yunting with a quilt, "I'm not feeling well, just take care of myself, Chanjuan and I are fine. You should take a break first, Sister-in-law Zhao is busy in the kitchen, please be better later Eat something, how can you be better on an empty stomach."

Ruan Yunting was indeed very sleepy, so she lay on her side, bent her body like a "prawn", and fell asleep frowning while hugging the brass heater.

When she fell asleep, Hongdou and Chanjuan guessed outside, discussed in low voices, and decided to go back to Second Grandma to ask a doctor.

Who knows that the business has been settled, and before leaving the Jingsi Garden, a little girl came outside to send a message, "Sister Hongdou, sister Huamei who is next to the old lady said that Mr. Jun and the water doctor are visiting, please come over immediately."

The two looked at each other, and Hongdou said: "Young lady is not feeling well, why don't I talk to you back."

In the Pine Age Hall, Shui Qiuxin asked the old lady for her pulse, and said with a deadpan expression: "Mrs. Xu is fine, after all, you have some common diseases at your age, so it's okay to take medicine to treat them."

Hearing this, the old lady said gratefully: "Thank you, the genius doctor. I know that you don't take care of others easily. You have saved my life several times. I am really grateful. However, I also know that you despise yellow and white things the most. Lifting your breath, these are dirtying your ears..."

"It's okay." Shui Qiuxin interrupted the old lady's words, and said, "Since Ting'er asked me, and I agreed, I will definitely pay more attention to your body. Xiaojing." He ordered without looking back : "Bring me my medicine chest."

The corners of Jun Lanzhou's mouth twitched a bit, and he looked back at Prince Duan Lei Jinghuan, who was dressed in gray short brown and dressed as a medical servant.

Jun Lanzhou didn't know why Prince Duan suddenly brought people to Daliang Kingdom secretly in a subdued suit, and even met Shui Qiuxin for a secret talk.Early this morning, Lei Jinghuan asked Jun Lanzhou to take him to the academy to find Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan.

Jun Lanzhou was busy with the congratulatory gifts for the second prince's wedding on May 28, and he hadn't seen Ruan Yunting for two days. Unexpectedly, he and Lei Jinghuan went to the academy and met Ruan Yunlan, only to learn that Ruan Yunting Yunting also didn't go to school for two days, she said she was not feeling well, and when she asked why, Ruan Yunlan couldn't explain why, and said that it shouldn't be a problem, because Ruan Yunting didn't ask the doctor to see it, and it didn't hurt too much. Rest is fine.

Jun Lanzhou knows Ruan Yunting's temperament best, and sometimes she would rather bear with herself than take care of the bullshit overall situation.Hearing that she was not feeling well, he immediately went to the church with Lei Jinghuan who was also anxious, and found Shui Qiuxin.I don't know how Shui Qiuxin and Lei Jinghuan negotiated, that's why Lei Jinghuan is now the majestic Prince of Xiwu Guoduan, who suddenly became the scene of "broken reminder" beside Shui Qiuxin.Shui Qiuxin was also very bold, so he ordered him around so generously.

"Go back to the old lady." Huamei lifted the curtain and entered the room, and said, "I just sent the little girl to invite Miss Ruan, but Miss Ruan is not well, and the red beans in her room followed."

"Let her in."

Not long after, Hongdou entered the house with her head down, bowed to the old lady, Shui Qiuxin and others before replying: "...our girl has been patient, and she woke up this morning to eat some ginger soup and said her stomach hurts , I haven't had breakfast yet. Now I fell asleep in a daze."

"Why didn't you come back sooner!" The old lady scolded angrily, then sighed, as if explaining to Shui Qiuxin: "It's also my fault for being negligent. I am busy with the marriage of Seventh Miss and Eighth Miss these days. Tinger asked people to go back and forth It was said that I would stay in the mansion for two days without going to school, and I agreed, but I didn't think much about it."

"I can't blame the old lady for this matter. Miss Ruan was afraid of getting messed up by the old lady and the second mistress, so she didn't let her go back and forth. The slave girl thought, if the water magician is here today, can I ask the water magician to show the girl?" Hongdou asked for help. Looking at Jun Lanzhou.

Jun Lanzhou was already anxious, before he wanted to speak, Shui Qiuxin had already stood up, and said to the old lady, "I'm going to see Ting'er right now." Pointing to Lei Jinghuan and Jun Lanzhou, "My doctor servants and disciples also went together."

After finishing speaking, he took the lead and left without waiting for the old lady to nod or shake her head.

Lei Jinghuan was worried about his daughter at the moment, and besides, he begged Shui Qiuxin to help bring him to Xu's house disguised as a medical servant, so he didn't mind his attitude at the moment, so he carried the medicine box and followed.

Hongdou was overjoyed, saluted the old lady and hurriedly chased her out.

The old lady looked at the backs of several people until they left the yard, and then ordered Han Bin's family to close the carved wooden window, and said suspiciously: "Why do I always feel that the medical servant next to the Water God Doctor doesn't look like a servant? .”

"Yes." Han Bin's family said: "He looks very noble."

"Follow me to the Jingsi Garden to take a look. If the water genius doctor needs to get medicine or something, you can help me."

Han Bin's family naturally knew that the old lady had another meaning of surveillance, so they saluted.

Ruan Yunting slept very comfortably this time, as if the cold around her body had dissipated, and the bed was warmed up, and she could finally stretch out and sleep without curling up.After being bitten by small bugs on my hands and body for a few times, my stomach started to feel less painful, and I felt that the menstrual flow that had been blocked all the time seemed to flow smoothly, and I felt smooth all over my body in the middle of half-dream and half-awake.

When she opened her eyes, what Ruan Yunting saw was Shui Qiuxin sitting by the bed.

"Uncle Shui?" She cried out in surprise, and Ruan Yunting was about to get up.

With gentle eyes, Shui Qiuxin pressed her shoulders to make her lie down: "Are you awake? What else is uncomfortable?"

Ruan Yunting obediently lay back on the couch, shaking her head, her voice was a little weak: "No wonder I didn't feel so uncomfortable even in my dreams. It was Uncle Shui who came to save me. Chanjuan and Hongdou, two little hooves, will find you after all. Come."

"We took the initiative to come to see you." Jun Lanzhou, who stood aside for a long time, said with a smile.

Shui Qiuxin sat on the edge of the bed, covering Ruan Yunting's sight. At this moment, Jun Lanzhou opened his mouth and moved closer to her eyes. Ruan Yunting saw him and said in surprise, "Lan Zhou, you are here too."

"Yeah, if you haven't stared at you for two days, you'll be sick. Don't you want to make people worry?" Jun Lanzhou said in a very doting tone.

Hongdou came in with a medicine bowl, and came to the bedside with a smile, "It's good that the girl is fine. Take the medicine quickly. Master Lan will come to see you as soon as school is over. When you fall asleep, go back and change your clothes, and say yes." Come back in a while."

Ruan Yunting smiled and said: "Uncle Shui is here, brother Lan is naturally anxious to come over, he regards Uncle Shui as his father in his heart, it's rare to see him, why not come?"

Shui Qiuxin took the medicine bowl from Hongdou's hand, paused when she heard this, and subconsciously turned to look at Lei Jinghuan.

At this time, Ruan Yunting sat up with force, and Jun Lanzhou supported her, put a pillow on her back, and covered her with a quilt.

Just as Ruan Yunting was about to eat, she saw Lei Jinghuan standing by the screen at the door.

"This is... Duan, Duan..." With wide eyes in astonishment, she forcibly swallowed the word "Prince".

Lei Jinghuan looked at Ruan Yunting with undisguised anticipation and kindness.

Ruan Yunting felt goosebumps all over her body when she was watched.

"Sister, Chanjuan said you're awake!" Ruan Yunlan changed into a moon-white gown at this time, and hurriedly lifted the door curtain to come in. Seeing that Ruan Yunting really got up, her smile became more open, and she ran to Shui Qiuxin's side to hold her His robe sleeve: "Uncle Shui, why don't you look at me? Last time you said that you would teach me a set of 'Five Animals' to keep fit."

Shui Qiuxin said gently: "I have never been free. If you want to learn in the future, you can go to church to find me in your free time."

"Great!" Ruan Yunlan was overjoyed.

Lei Jinghuan felt very sad seeing his daughter and son being so kind to Shui Qiu, but turning a blind eye to his own father, "Water genius doctor, Lan Zhou, please go out for a while, I have something to say to Sister Ting and Brother Lan Son said."

It was only then that Ruan Yunlan noticed the existence of Prince Duan, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Shui, is this your new medical servant?" Looking carefully at Prince Duan, she felt that she had a very kind face, and smiled cheerfully and friendlyly at Lei Jinghuan.

Shui Qiuxin stood up and said: "Ting'er, Brother Lan, you and Prince Duan should have a good talk, we are going out."

Prince Duan?Ruan Yunlan blinked in astonishment. He had only met Prince Duan for a limited number of times, and he had never paid close attention to this person, so even though he saw him just now, he did not recognize who he was.

What is there to talk about between him and their siblings?How could Shui Qiuxin and Jun Lanzhou leave him and Ruan Yunting in the room alone with Prince Duan so reassuringly?
Ruan Junlan was full of doubts, afraid of any danger, subconsciously sat beside Ruan Yunting, covering half of her body with her long hair hanging loose and only wearing a jacket. If the other party made any changes, he would swear to protect Ruan to the death. Yun Ting.

Lei Jinghuan knew that he couldn't blame them for being so guarded by his children, but he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.In order not to scare Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan, he stood three steps away from them by himself and said:

"Ting'er, Brother Lan. I came to Daliang country this time in secret, and I came here secretly for one thing."

"What's the matter?" Ruan Yunlan looked at him warily.

"This is a very long story. Where should I start?" Prince Duan murmured, looking at Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan, but his eyes gradually blurred, as if he had brought himself into the past years middle.

"That was 16 years ago. I was 20 years old. I was ordered by the emperor to secretly come to the Kingdom of Liang to assist the fourteenth prince at that time, who is now Prince Yu, to do a confidential matter. Then, by chance, I was leaving When I was in Liangcheng, I met a young and beautiful woman. She should have been sixteen or seventeen years old at that time. It is said that she ran away from home because of something. I also asked her, but until we parted, she didn't say anything. Mention this matter. She is obviously a gentle and delicate woman, but she has a heart that is not inferior to that of a man. With her, there will be new surprises every day, so we fell in love. I took her back to Xiwu Kingdom, and asked the emperor for permission to make her a concubine."

When Lei Jinghuan said this, his voice was trembling: "However, at that time, my mother did not allow me to marry an unidentified woman who was also a foreigner. Although I tried my best to persuade my mother to marry her into the door , and tried my best to love her and protect her, but I don't know how much she has suffered. Later, in the year when the new emperor of Daliang Kingdom ascended the throne, when we were married for less than a year, she actually stayed The book has gone away. After this time, there is no news of it.”

"I sent people to look for her whereabouts everywhere, but the world is so big, if she is such an intelligent person, if she sincerely wants to avoid me, how can I find her? After she left, my mother and the emperor's brother made many arrangements to find her. I married a concubine and took concubines, but I refused them all, until ten years ago, I received a blackmail letter with a note written by her in it."

When Lei Jinghuan was speaking, Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan listened attentively, and at this moment, they had vaguely understood something.Both siblings looked at Lei Jinghuan in astonishment, full of disbelief.

Lei Jinghuan smiled, as if he didn't notice the expressions of Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan at all, but was immersed in the memory: "Ling Yue is a weird person, we write vertically from right to left, but But she is used to writing horizontally from left to right, and she doesn't like to use a brush, she likes to use thrush eyebrows, because it is convenient to use, so I can recognize the words written by her at a glance. The note was written when she was dying , the content is roughly to ask her natal mother to take care of her child, and the child's birthday is attached, which is a quarter of the eighth day of the first lunar month in the first year of Qianyuan. I was pregnant, and I failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a husband-in-law. I let her wander outside for so long, and raised the child alone. The child in the first year of Qianyuan, after I received the blackmail letter By the time, the child should have been five years old."

Ruan Yunlan was already in tears at this moment, choked up and began to cry.His desire for his father is deeper than ordinary people, but he has never dared to fulfill his expectations, let alone mention this matter in front of his sister, for fear of causing trouble for her, and only when he dreamed back at midnight, he dared to secretly guess What kind of person is his father.

Now the person in front of him is sitting upright, even though he is dressed in common clothes, he still can't hide his luxurious aura, his brows are clear, it can be seen that he must have been a handsome man when he was young, his eyes are deep, which also shows his wisdom and city.Such an excellent man, is he his father?He knew that his mother would not marry an ordinary farmer, but he never imagined that his father was actually the prince of Xiwu Kingdom!

Compared to Ruan Yunlan's excitement and grievances, Ruan Yunting was much calmer, looked at Lei Jinghuan suspiciously and said, "You said, there is a blackmail letter? Who wrote it? What is the content?"

Lei Jinghuan sorted out his mood and secretly admired his daughter's calmness, but he was also a little disappointed.The child was too precocious to be as cute as her brother.

"The blackmail letter was written by a young man named Jun Zhaoyan. He claimed that my child was in his hands and had been poisoned. Every year, he needed to take a unique antidote to survive. He asked me to do my best in Daliang State. ability, to help him smooth his official career. I didn't dare to act rashly, so I installed spies to monitor him, but I never saw him go to see my child. I could only be controlled by him, and I was slowly looking for the whereabouts of my child. Ten years have passed. Until I met you when I was delivering paper money to Ling Yue in Lingshan, and saw the white jade dragon pendant handed down from the royal family of Xiwu Kingdom, which was my token to Ling Yue back then."

Lei Jinghuan looked at Ruan Yunting and Ruan Yunlan expectantly: "Children, you are my flesh and blood, born to Ling Yue and me. Ling Yue has been hiding her name since she followed me, so I didn't know her real name was Xu Cailing , I never imagined that Jun Zhaoyan lied to me so hard that I would send you to my grandmother's house, and you were not poisoned. When I came last year, I already knew that you were my flesh and blood, and I suffered from what Jun Zhaoyan said. I dare not recognize each other rashly because I am afraid that you will be in danger. Now that everything has been investigated and it is confirmed that you are not poisoned, I will come here as soon as possible."

"You, you are our father?" Ruan Yunlan wiped away her tears.

Lei Jinghuan nodded again and again: "Yes, I am your father."

Ruan Yunlan's voice trembled, and her tears rolled down again: "Where were you when we were suffering? My mother passed away, and my sister and I were less than six years old. We were begging all the way from Lucheng to Liangcheng, and we were almost abducted by traffickers twice on the way." Where were you when you were born? The number of reasons you have said now are all explaining why you have not fulfilled your father's responsibility for so many years. Should my sister and I forgive you and admit you? You are a prince and have the right to have Shi, where were you when my sister was bullied by Lu Guogong's son? Why didn't you show up when we were almost kicked out of Xu's house and slept on the street? My sister was almost made a concubine, why didn't you say something for her? ? You are a prince, isn’t my sister a princess? How can she be a concubine for others? You don’t show up at so many critical moments. Now it’s so easy to rely on my sister’s hard work. We have money and power, no need You came to recognize us because you were bullied by others. I don’t recognize a father like you! You are sorry for my mother, and now you want to pick up a pair of children for nothing? There is no way!"

Ruan Yunlan finished speaking in one breath, stood up and left.

Ruan Yunting hurriedly leaned forward and pulled him: "Brother Lan!"

"Sister, let go." Pity Ruan Yunting was still ill, Ruan Yunlan didn't struggle hard, but the disgust on her face was obvious.

Ruan Yunting sighed: "Didn't you always want to find your father? Now that your father is right in front of you, why do you reject him thousands of miles away? He also has his reasons."

"Difficulties? I think it's my mother and sister who suffer the most! After all these years, he's had a lot of food and drink, so what's so hard about it!"

"Brother Lan..." Lei Jinghuan's eyes were red with tears, and he said anxiously: "I'm also a stickler for the rat, Brother Lan, the father just has a problem. No, once the investigation is clear, I will be desperate It's coming. I don't want your mother, I don't want you..." Thinking of the dead Ling Yue, Lei Jinghuan finally burst into tears.

Ruan Yunting hates people crying the most, besides, the person in front of her is her father in this body.Now she finally understood why Lei Jinghuan warned her in an elder tone last time to pay attention to the people around her and not to trust others easily.When he said this, he was facing his daughter.

Although she is not the real Ruan Yunting, she is still a stranger to Lei Jinghuan, but her body seems to have its own reaction, maybe it is Ruan Yunting's own subconscious mind that is at work?She didn't want to cry, but the tears kept falling like a broken thread.

Seeing her sister like this, Ruan Yunlan relaxed her guard, and sat slumped on the edge of the bed, still feeling unbelievable that they have a father? !

"Children?" Lei Jinghuan came up to them and called them nervously, "You guys, can you forgive my negligence? It was my fault for not taking good care of Ling Yue."

Ruan Yunlan thought of her dead mother and all the grievances she had suffered. Looking at the loving and expectant man in front of her, her heart was already softened. She threw herself in front of Lei Jinghuan and plunged into his arms, crying: "Father! !"

Lei Jinghuan burst into tears instantly: "Good boy, good boy, Ting'er, you, you still blame the king?"

Ruan Yunting shook her head, smiled with tears, and called obediently: "Father."
