Chapter 39

The next day, Su Mei's high fever gradually subsided, and her consciousness gradually came to her senses. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Ling's scarlet and tired eyes. She slowly opened them and called softly, "General."

Jiang Ling was delighted in her heart, but when she saw Su Mei's pale and haggard face and remembered what the doctor said, those beautiful star eyes soon dimmed, and she just said lightly, "Are you awake?"

Su Mei nodded and forced herself to stand up.

Nanny Shang brought in the soup, and Jiang Ling ordered, "Put it down."

"The general who pushed you into the water, I have already dealt with all those who pushed you into the water. Concubine Yun Gui planned to marry Yun Yiyi and me, but I had no intention of marrying her, so I refused to marry her."

Jiang Ling picked up the bowl of decoction and glanced at Su Mei out of the corner of her eye. She just hummed lightly, her expression was as usual, and she couldn't tell whether it was happiness or worry.

Sure enough, she didn't care about him at all. Those who are well-behaved and sensible on weekdays were all pretending. They got along day and night and slept together every night, but it was just a hypocrisy.

Otherwise, she wouldn't secretly drink the anti-child medicine without telling him and hurt her body.

"Are you blaming me? Blaming me for making you wronged and not coming to save you?"

The soup in that spoon had already reached Su Mei's mouth, Su Mei frowned when she smelled the bitter taste of the soup.

She quickly shook her head, "Su Mei dare not."

Seeing Jiang Ling's cold face, she could only open her mouth, and Jiang Ling fed a spoonful of soup.

The soup was very bitter, she would rather take the soup by herself, close her eyes, and drink it in one gulp, it was much better than feeding it spoon by spoon.

But she dared not say it, for fear of angering Jiang Ling.

She was just a concubine who was raised outside and kept out of sight. If Yun Yiyi hadn't come to the door that day, Jiang Ling's first wife and everyone in the concubine room would have come to step on her in the future.

She is just an insignificant substitute, how much weight can she have in Jiang Ling's heart, what right does she have to resent anyone, let alone blame Jiang Ling.

"Although you dare not, you still hate me in your heart, don't you?"

If there was no resentment in her heart, how could she drink cold medicine and ruin her body.

Although he wanted Qin Zhen's body when he was drunk that night, he had already decided that when the time came, he would marry Qin Zhen as his wife. Now it seems that this was all his wishful thinking, and Qin Zhen didn't want to follow him. , I don't have him in my heart.

Perhaps when she was in love, she resented him even more.

Su Mei's eyes turned red, she opened her mouth, but swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Yun Yiyi was recruited by Jiang Ling. She stayed in the cold pool for most of the night. She was looking forward to Jiang Ling coming to rescue her, but Jiang Ling didn't come. She didn't hate her, but she was a little disappointed.

But later that disappointment gradually became numb, and the biting cold penetrated into the bone marrow, and she realized that she was just a dispensable substitute. If she died that day, Jiang Ling could find another a stand-in.

She is not that important at all, thinking about it this way, she will no longer feel disappointed.

"Su Mei didn't hate, nor did she dare to hate the general."

The medicine was finally finished, it was too bitter, Su Mei felt anxious, waiting for Jiang Ling's punishment, but Jiang Ling didn't ask any more.

"In a few days, you will move to the hot spring villa. There is a hot spring there. Soaking in the hot spring will help your body recover as soon as possible."

He has already ordered that the doctor's words must not be told to Su Mei, if she finds out that it is difficult for her to conceive in the future, she should be very sad.

Su Mei nodded obediently: "Thank you, General."

"You have nothing to say?"

Su Mei looked at Jiang Ling's face, saw that he was frowning, and his face was a little unsightly, so she didn't think much, just shook her head.

Jiang Ling didn't ask any more, just nodded and said: "You should rest earlier, I will send someone to take you to the hot spring villa in a few days."

Jiang Ling left with a sullen face, but when he went out, he coughed lightly, Su Mei felt a little strange, Jiang Ling is a martial arts practitioner, and his steps are calmer and stronger than others, but today his complexion is extremely bad, and his steps are a little vain , and asked, "Is the general alright?"

Jiang Ling was slightly taken aback, but did not answer her, and disappeared into the dark and cold night after leaving the door.

He walked into the courtyard and wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was wounded and had been guarding Su Mei nonstop for days and nights. Now his wounds have burst and his vitality has been seriously injured.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse today, and tomorrow will be a fine and sunny day.

Su Mei looked at the figure who disappeared outside the house, and Jiang Ling obviously wanted to ask her something, but she left without saying anything.

If it was the past, he would definitely find a way to force her to speak out, or punish her.

Why is he so weird tonight, and I don't know what's wrong with him.

She has been in a coma for several days, why does she feel that this master's mind is becoming more and more elusive now.

Mu Feng was concerned about the injury on Jiang Ling's back. Seeing that the door was wide open but Jiang Ling was nowhere to be seen, he asked, "Where's the general?"

"left already."

Seeing the wound medicine in Mu Feng's hand, Su Mei called her back, "The medicine in General Mu's hand, what is this?"

"The night Yun Yiyi led someone to break in, the general was injured and was fined to kneel in the ancestral hall for the whole night. These days, he guarded the girl day and night, never leaving her, even ignoring his own injuries."

No wonder I just saw that his face was not good-looking, it turned out that he was still wounded, and it wasn't because he didn't come to rescue him on purpose that day.

"The general has had a hard time these years. He was ordered to fight everywhere, and the number of injuries on his body is countless, but he carried it all by himself. I remember that year in Youzhou battlefield, I was almost shot by the enemy general. For the right eye, the general rode his horse to block his subordinates, and the arrow pierced his right shoulder."

Mu Feng choked up as he spoke. The general's expression of pain and grief when he heard the news that Su Mei was having a hard time getting pregnant must have made him feel extremely sad, and he felt very distressed when he saw it.

These years, the general had no other women around him until Su Mei appeared. The general treated her differently and was willing to keep her by his side. He hoped that the general would have a family and a child of his own.

Instead of shouldering the burden alone and fighting alone.

It's a pity that fate tricks people, it will be difficult for Miss Su to conceive in the future, Yun Yiyi throws Su Mei into the lotus pond and hurts her body, the general can't come to rescue her in time, she must be blaming herself.

It's just that the general never expresses his thoughts to others, let alone how sad he is.

Su Mei knew that scar, even though Jiang Ling would always blow out the candles when they were happy, but when she grabbed his back hard, she could still feel the raised scar on his back , must be extremely deep.

Su Mei's eyes were red, and she felt mixed feelings in her heart.

There was a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, "General Mu should go and persuade him."

How could she not understand Mu Feng's words? It's just that Mu Feng misunderstood her. Jiang Ling just regarded her as Qin Zhen's substitute. If she and Qin Zhen didn't look exactly the same, as Jiang Ling, she might even look at her more. , also refused.

Mu Feng sighed, cupped his hands and said, "I'm the one talking too much today and disturbing Miss Su, please leave!"

After all, it was a matter between the general and Miss Su, and they could only rely on themselves if they wanted to untie their knots.

He couldn't help at all.
