Mrs. Song originally regarded her daughter as her darling, someone who valued her more than her own life. It was her decision to let her children accompany her niece on this trip. She also knew that her niece made the request at this time. I was afraid that I had some thoughts about traveling, but out of guilt and pity for my niece, I still insisted on agreeing.
Unexpectedly, the first two days were fine, but after sleeping for a while this afternoon, she was woken up by Grandma Shi, saying that her daughter and niece both fell and injured themselves on Xiaozhu Mountain. Mrs. Song was so frightened that she almost lost her mind. Where could there be anything else? Do you want to take care of the affairs of the Wei family
She didn't even have time to report to Mrs. Song, and she didn't even change her clothes. She just put on her clogs and ordered the car to be prepared!
The coachman was urged countless times along the way. The coachman, who was afraid of being punished by his mistress, had no choice but to beat the horse pulling the carriage as hard as he could. The jolting of the carriage was so violent that the young maids could not bear it. The naturally delicate Mrs. Song missed her daughter and niece too much, Although his face was pale, he didn't realize that the fingers holding Che Zhen turned blue from the exertion.
Arriving at the foot of Xiaozhu Mountain, Mrs. Song took the lead, walking so fast that she did not let the guards who were leading the way pass!
Now I rushed into the hut, glanced around, and saw the second son standing in the hall well, talking to the doctor. Although his face was solemn, there was no sadness. Then he calmed down and asked in a trembling voice: "Changfeng , your sisters?”
"Mother!" Wei Changfeng was quite surprised that his mother arrived in person and arrived so quickly. He knew Mrs. Song's love for his siblings, so he quickly spoke to reassure her, "Two of them Both sisters are fine, so don’t worry, mother!”
After hearing this, and the two doctors also confirming with great eyes, Mrs. Song finally let out a sigh of relief - she immediately felt weak under her legs, and she almost fell to her knees on the spot!
Now that the doctor and servants were all here, Nanny Shi, Huatang and others couldn't let the head wife of the Wei family make such a fool of herself in public, so they calmly stepped forward to support Mrs. Song, allowing Mrs. Song to regain her balance. After standing up, Mrs. Song straightened her sleeves - using this action to calm her mood again, Mrs. Song immediately walked to the bedroom.
Seeing this situation, Wei Changfeng coughed dryly and said to the two doctors: "Please stay here. I'm afraid that after my mother comes out, she has some questions that I need to ask you to answer."
The two doctors looked at each other with a wry smile and had no choice but to agree... Mrs. Song was thinking about her daughter and niece now. Although the doctor and the second son had said that it was nothing serious, how could she not rest assured if she had not seen it with her own eyes
Even if you have seen it, I am afraid that you will have to come out and ask the doctor over and over again...
In the inner room, the atmosphere was awkward because Song Zaishui concealed his injury. Suddenly Mrs. Song came in. Both parties were surprised. Wei Changying couldn't stand up, but Song Zaishui still wanted to stand up and salute. Mrs. Song knew that she was injured. How can I ask her to move if her knees are broken? He shouted hurriedly: "Stay here and don't move!"
Although she was worried about her daughter, her niece was a relative after all. Mrs. Song suppressed her anxiety and turned up her sleeves and skirt herself. She looked at Song Zaishui's arms and knees. After Song Zaishui repeatedly stressed that nothing was wrong, she sighed. Went to see my daughter.
Wei Changying's injury was even more shocking than Song Zaishui's. Mrs. Song almost shed tears when she saw it. She didn't want to go out and continue talking to Dr. Mushroom. She sat down by Song Zaishui and choked with sobs: "Have a nice mountain tour." , why did it become like this?”
This question made the cousins a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. Song Zaishui vaguely guessed that even though his aunt came in a hurry, no one on the road might say that he had caused trouble for his cousin. She had intended to pretend to fall and have her cheek scratched by a well-aimed stone to avoid marrying into the royal family. Unexpectedly, her cousin rushed forward to save her. The stone she had chosen earlier injured her cousin. Fortunately, it was nothing serious, otherwise Song Zaishui would have felt uneasy for the rest of his life.
Now that my aunt asked this question, I knew that Mrs. Song's purpose was not to accuse, but to teach. But Song felt guilty under Shui Xin and was about to admit his confession when he suddenly heard Wei Changying say with a smile: "Mom, it's my fault. I saw Changfeng asked Wei Sange to make a fishing rod for fishing, so I pulled my cousin to do the same. I don’t want to wear a skirt that’s too long and get tripped when I enter the bamboo forest and bring my cousin down.”
Song Zaishui and the two maids were both stunned and looked at Wei Changying unnaturally. Mrs. Song was also stunned and subconsciously asked: "Is that so?"
"Of course it is." Wei Changying leaned on the couch, sighed and said seriously, "Thanks to God's blessing, my cousin and I are fine. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would have explained to my uncle!"
Mrs. Song frowned - just as Song Zaishui expected, since she rushed here in person, how could she not know that her niece deliberately harmed herself and dragged her daughter down to save others? Today she came here, firstly because she was worried about her own flesh and blood, and secondly because she was afraid that Song Zaishui was determined. This time, he was stopped by Wei Changying, but he still didn't give up... Ruiyutang's power in the court was somewhat weakened, and he didn't want to attract " The impeachment was that his negligence caused damage to the appearance of the would-be crown princess.
Let alone the court situation, just speaking from relatives, the Song family has such a direct granddaughter. Something happened to Song Zaishui in Fengzhou, and Mrs. Song could not explain it to her parents and brothers. What's more, Song Zaitian is traveling with Shen Zhou and will be arriving in a few days. Something happened to Song Zaishui at this juncture. Mrs. Song doesn't even know how to meet her nephew!
Therefore, after knowing that the injuries of the two children were not serious, Mrs. Song suppressed her distress and quickly planned to have a good talk with Song Zaishui to make sure that she gave up the idea of self-harm or even suicide.
However, her own daughter was trying to make trouble for her, so Mrs. Song asked. Seeing that Song Zaishui was about to confess - just as he was about to take advantage of Song Zaishui's guilt, Wei Changying took the whole matter on himself!
"This heartless little evildoer!" Mrs. Song was furious and secretly scolded her daughter for her lack of expression. "Is this the time to talk about loyalty? This child in Shui is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. He doesn't want to marry into the East Palace, but he also ruins his appearance. Everything has been done, how can this idea be given up by just embarrassing the cousin? If you don't enlighten her now, when the injury is not healed and the child feels the most guilty, who knows what will happen next? What's the matter? My knee is injured and I can't move... I just pulled out the girl's hairpin... There are also embroidery needles and other things... Can this be done casually? "
Just seeing Wei Changying lying on the couch unable to get up, her heart softened again, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "That's it, you are all injured now, let's wait until you recover from your injuries."
Wei Changying said hurriedly: "I know my mother loves me. Now that I am in such a miserable state, my mother will definitely not be able to bear to be angry with me anymore."
Mrs. Song glared at her - she had been the wife of the house for a long time after all, so she would not be helpless if her daughter disrupted her previous plans. After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Song decided to change her approach. She showed concern for their injuries in a friendly manner and wiped them with her hands. I cried and said some heart-wrenching words... It was already evening at this time.
Wei Changfeng left two doctors outside, waiting for his mother to come out, so he had to let Xinli go into the inner room to inquire.
This reminded Wei Changying and said: "Mother came here in person, but this mountain is simple and simple, and now that I have occupied this bed, it is definitely not suitable for mother to stay overnight. In my opinion, mother should go back to the house as soon as possible?" "
Song Zaishui also said softly: "It's all my fault today. I caused my cousin to suffer, and made my aunt rush here in fear..."
Mrs. Song looked at the sky outside and knew that it would be inappropriate not to go back - Mrs. Song was old and she was probably waiting for her to go back and report the details! Moreover, as a matron, she would always attract attention when she ran out of the city in such a big way. She didn't want to cause any bad rumors to the two girls. After thinking about it, she nodded and said, "I'm going back."
Following the change of conversation, he said, "But the people around you are too careless! Under the noses of many of these people, you actually got hurt! I really don't know what the purpose of raising them with such fine clothes and fine food is? !”
Hearing these words, Lvfang, Chunjing and others all changed their colors and wanted to argue, but after seeing Mrs. Song's face, they did not dare to say anything - Wei Changying was still not afraid of his mother, he chuckled and said: "Don't blame them, mother." , if they hadn't been here today, my cousin and I wouldn't have known how to get down from the top of the mountain just now! And it was me who was naughty and insisted on going into the forest to break bamboo branches. My mother must be blamed for what happened. I was the first one to blame, but now I'm lying here, and God punished me first... My mother has always loved me, and she will definitely be reluctant to punish me again. I think this is the end of the matter, right? "
Mrs. Song was very angry at being interrupted one after another, but after hearing the words "God punished me first", her face changed again and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about at such a young age? If it was careless, why did God punish me again?" I punish you? You are born with a good destiny, otherwise why would you be born in the Wei family!"
"Yes, yes, what mother said is absolutely right." Wei Changying didn't take the injury seriously at all. Even though he was lying down, he said with a smile, "Mother, please go back first. Look carefully, it will get dark. That's it." The official road is not easy to navigate, not to mention it is troublesome to open the city gate."
Mrs. Song stared at her twice, knowing that with her daughter here, she could not talk to Song Zaishui or teach the maid a lesson. She thought about it in her heart and decided that she could not overcome her love for her daughter. According to her daughter's He got up and said: "I will leave the painting hall and the painting screen, and a few wives to take care of you respectively, and also keep an eye on the people around you, so that no one of them is pampered by the master more than the young lady." Miss!"
Midoriya, Chunjing and others all said cautiously: "My servant dare not."
Mrs. Song ignored them and gave them a few more words before going out.
After another half an hour, Wei Changfeng told through the door that Mrs. Song had been sent down the mountain and the doctor had also been sent away. However, the Wei family would send their usual doctor to come and see her tomorrow - Mrs. Song was too anxious and confused today. , but forgot all about this.
Wei Changfeng asked the two sisters again about their injuries. Wei Changfeng said with a smile on his face, "You are such an idiot. It has only been a few hours, can you expect it to be cured?"
Song Zaishui smiled and said, "I feel better."
Forget the injury on her knee, her arm was dislocated. Wouldn't it be much better if the bone was reattached? Wei Changfeng was very embarrassed and said: "It's all my fault. I didn't realize that my cousin was injured just now. I thought that my cousin was fine and almost delayed my diagnosis."
Song Zaishui heard his apology and smiled slightly: "Cousin, you are too polite. We are all our own flesh and blood. Besides, I am also timid. I was scared and didn't notice it myself."
After saying these two words, the cousins tacitly reconciled.
Seeing this scene, Lvfang and others did not dare to show their anger towards Song Zaishui, and Mrs. Song's people who stayed behind were watching, so they acted very lightly.
So at night, the servants hurriedly prepared and brought out the food. Wei Changying and Song Zaishui were both inconvenienced, so the maid brought it to them and served them. When it was time to go to bed, Wei Changfeng put the couches in the main hall together and fell asleep, while Wei Changying invited Song Zaishui to sleep with him - this iron pear wood couch left by Wei Boyu a hundred years ago, although ordinary in style, was It is very spacious, and the two girls can sleep in it without being affected by each other's injuries.
It was a lot of experience from master to servant that day. After nightfall, except for the guards who were on duty outside the hut, they were all exhausted and fell asleep soon after.
Knowing that all the maids in the room were fast asleep, Song Zaishui opened his eyes, looked to his side with the dim light coming from the thick gauze cover, and said in a low voice: "Chang Ying, you have nothing to say to me. Did I say that?" (To be continued)
