Liu Ruoye ran into the courtyard in three steps and two steps at a time. Before he entered, he heard a shrill cry!
She hurriedly entered the inner room and saw four or five maids and women, trying hard to hold down Zheng Cuiye who was rolling on the couch!
"What's going on?" Liu Ruoye felt a huge crisis coming towards him - Zheng Cuiye was Wen Yaozi's cousin! Her father Zheng Erya was one of the first people to follow Wen Yaozi, and he died in the battle to protect his brother Zheng Sanya when Wen Yaozi decided to rescue Wei Xinyong and Mo Binwei!
As Zheng Erya's only flesh and blood, even if Zheng Cuiye is involved in the crime of treason, Wen Yaozi may not be willing to kill her!
If her death is believed to be related to Liu Ruoye, even if Liu Ruowo has just been granted the title of Duke, he will not be able to protect Liu Ruoye! It would be great if he is not dragged down by Liu Ruoye!
So the most important thing right now is to keep Zheng Cuiye - the question is, can it be kept
In just a short moment, Zheng Cuiye's complexion changed from a girl's ruddy color to an ominous light gold!
"Someone must have done something to her! This idiot! I should have known that she was so crazy about Shen Zangfeng. She was so blatant with me here, how could she not show traces outside? How could Wei Changying not know this if he was not dead? !" Liu Ruoye's face was livid, and he was cursing in his heart, "This idiot wants to drag me down even if he wants to die!"
During this time, Zheng Cuiye's confidant maid cried and said: "My young lady was fine just now, but suddenly her stomach hurts! It only took a short moment for the pain to become like this, what on earth are you doing?!"
Liu Ruoye took a deep breath and asked, "Has Miss Zheng been like this before?"
"If this had happened before, would we still be so surprised?" He said angrily, wiping his face carelessly!
Her words reminded Zheng Cuiye's personal mother-in-law, who said: "Our young lady is the most healthy. Come on, she has a stomachache. She usually doesn't even hear a cough even if she coughs! If she suddenly behaves like this today, she might have eaten something bad!" "
As soon as he said these words, although Zheng Cuiye was still crying hysterically in pain, the atmosphere in the whole room changed!
Biao suddenly stood up from the couch and shouted to the guards!
... Because the village where Liu Ruoye lived was too remote, when she was placed here by Liu Ruowo, Liu Ruowo arranged for the doctor to take care of her. However, after Liu Ruoye recovered, he was afraid that the doctor would leak the news, so he disposed of her.
So when the servants of the Zheng family rushed to the imperial capital overnight to invite the imperial doctor, Zheng Cuiye had only one breath left. At this time, she no longer cared about the protection of men and women. Fortunately, the imperial doctor they hired was not young anymore, so he directly After being led to the inner room, they looked around and asked - Hearing the doctor say "intestinal disease" in an uncertain tone, Liu Ruoye and others were all pale in beauty, and Liu Ruoye, who was escorted aside by the guards, was even more shocked. !
Back then, the second wife of the Wei family, the mother of her former friend Wei Changjuan, Mrs. Duanmu, died of intestinal carbuncle, wasn't it? !
Thinking that all this was Wei Changying's handiwork, Liu Ruoye couldn't hold it back anymore and raised her voice: "Miss Zheng was harmed by someone!"
"Who dares to harm my Ye'er?!" An angry shout came from outside the door! Follow Lu Guogong's wife Wang and rush in! Mrs. Wang arrived in a hurry, her clothes were disheveled, her hair was disheveled, and her face was as pale as a dead person. Although she asked something, she didn't bother to ask Liu Ruoye after entering the room. Instead, she went straight to the couch and held her arms in her arms. The dying daughter burst into tears and said, "My poor son - how could you end up like this?"
Feeling distressed, Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked the imperial doctor: "Please treat my Ye'er quickly!"
The imperial doctor's eyebrows were furrowed, and his expression made Mrs. Wang feel a little thumped in her heart! Sure enough, the imperial doctor pondered for a moment and then said: "I'll do my best!"
When doctors say try their best, they mean that the situation is not good and there is no certainty.
Wang's vision went dark and she almost fainted! She is just such a daughter!
The servants helped Mrs. Wang aside, and the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine with great difficulty. Only then did everyone discover the fatal part: because Zheng Cuiye was in so much pain that no one dared to move her, so they went to ask the imperial doctor, and then Tell Mrs. Wang to come over. But now that the imperial doctor has prescribed the medicine, he realizes that since this place is not the imperial capital, where can he get the medicine
There are some pills and the like in the medicine bag that the imperial doctor carries with him, and Zhuangzi also collects some common medicinal materials, but after all, they cannot be compared with the medicine store. So the prescription has been prescribed, but we are faced with the dilemma of having no prescription but no medicine!
At this time, the imperial doctor had no choice but to send people back to the city to get medicine while modifying the prescription based on the existing medicinal materials... In the end, Zheng Cuiye, who had screamed in pain and struggled to the point of losing strength long before the imperial doctor arrived, could not hold on, and after the first bowl of medicine boiled Before recovery, I lay in Wang's arms and breathed my last!
Feeling that her only daughter was gradually getting colder, Mrs. Wang was going crazy!
She was hysterically pulling Liu Ruoye's hair, and at first she was yelling curses - but in the end, she couldn't think of anything except the words "Give me back my daughter"!
After daybreak, people came one after another after hearing the news.
Zheng Sanya's wife Zhao and Bo Xi's wife Gao, together with four or five strong women, tried their best to drag Wang away.
At this time, seven or eight locks of Liu Ruoye's hair had been scratched out, and her face and body were beaten, pinched, scratched, and bitten by Wang. There were no one knows how many scars there were.
But Zhao and Gao pulled Wang away not to save Liu Ruoye, but because they were afraid that Wang would get hurt and get into trouble. After placing the exhausted Wang family in a side room to rest, the two of them had no intention of letting Liu Ruoye go - Zhao was Zheng Sanya's first wife, and she and Wang became sisters-in-law since they entered the Zheng family. There were some awkwardnesses in the past, but generally they were harmonious.
Especially after Zheng Erya died in order to save Zheng Sanya, Zheng Sanya and his wife were grateful to their elder brother and were always extremely respectful to their widowed sister-in-law and niece. Now Zheng Sanya is away on an expedition, and Zheng Er's only flesh-and-blood boy died suddenly. Not to mention Zhao's guilt for her eldest uncle and her husband's savior, let's just talk about the most practical point: Zheng Sanya gave countless warnings before leaving. She told her that when she was away, Mrs. Zhao must take care of Duke Lu's mansion, and she must not let her sister-in-law and niece, an orphan and widowed mother, be mistreated!
Now that Zheng Cuiye is dead, Mrs. Zhao can't imagine how she will explain to her husband? ! Thinking of those young and beautiful goblins in the backyard, and thinking that she was already old and gloomy... The pain in Mrs. Zhao's heart at this moment was definitely no worse than that of Mrs. Wang who lost her daughter!
So she persuaded Wang to leave, turned around, and slapped Liu Ruoye in the face! The whipping made Liu Ruoye scream! There is blood flowing from the corner of the mouth!
"Sister Zhao, please slap her in the face first." Compared with Zhao's despair, Gao is a little better. Bo Xi lost his wife in his early years, and Gao only married Bo Xi as his stepmother after the new dynasty was settled. She is still young now, not to the age of twenty. And although Bo Xi had a good relationship with the Zheng brothers, they didn't need to make such a grand explanation for Zheng Cuiye's death like Zhao did.
Therefore, Ms. Gao had to be much calmer. She hurriedly stopped Mr. Zhao, who wanted to continue fighting, and reminded her, "We still have to ask her questions and ask her how she harmed your niece!"
Of course, Liu Ruoye refused to admit that she had harmed Zheng Cuiye—she was not the one who did it in the first place!
"Then why do you say it's Mrs. Wei?!" Hearing Liu Ruoye say that Zheng Cuiye's death must be the murder of Wei Changying, both the Zhao family and the Gao family were shocked. The Shen family is now feared by the Wen Yaozi. Isn't this something? It's a secret, but the Shen family is not that restless, and this is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Otherwise, why would neither Shen Shuyan nor Shen Shuming be ignored in their marriage
Not to mention that Wei Changying is not only the mistress of the Shen family, she is also Wei Xinyong’s niece! Considering Wei Xinyong's status in the dynasty and his current physical condition that is about to pass away, Wen Yaozi would rather punish Shen Zangfeng than Wei Changying!
Even though Wei Changying is already a married woman, she still has the blood of the Wei family - this Mrs. Wei is famously valued by her mother's family!
Therefore, even though Zhao and Gao wanted to avenge Zheng Cuiye, they had to hold back their tempers and ask carefully - it is impossible to cause trouble for Wei Changying without any evidence!
"Because Miss Zheng loves Shen Zangfeng!" Liu Ruoye said with a sad smile, "Don't you two know? The reason why she often comes to my place is to see that I live here alone, never go out, and can't spread any gossip. In fact, every time she comes here, she tells me about her admiration for Shen Zangfeng—"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao raised her hand and slapped her across the face, shouting angrily: "How dare you arrange my niece's name!"
"If you think that in order to preserve your niece's reputation, you would rather pretend not to know that Wei Changying harmed her, then just beat me to death." Liu Ruoye said mockingly.
"Who are you?" Mrs. Gao was listening and asked suddenly, "I called Master Shen by name casually... Are you really the master of this little village?!"
Zhao was reminded and came to her senses, and said: "That's right! You look like you don't come from a small family, and you can coax my niece to come to you every day... I think there must be something wrong with your origins. !”
By this time, Liu Ruoye couldn't help but tell the calendar.
But to tell the truth, the Liu family of Donghu had no dignity at all - so she thought for a moment and said: "I am the daughter of a distant branch of the Liu family. My brother Liu Ruowo sympathized with me for being a widower and had no children, so he assigned this village to house me. . I didn’t expect Miss Zheng to pass by one day and come to stay at night... We just met each other. Why would I hurt her? Besides, would it be so obvious that I hurt her? Deliberately framed, not only to harm me, but also to harm my clan brothers!"
The young Gao family is a daughter of an official family. Although she is not a noble family, she is still more knowledgeable than ordinary commoner women. Hearing this, she pulled Zhao aside and said: "Jingguo Gong's new title may indeed attract people's attention!"
"But killing my niece is such a big deal..."
"Ms. Liu really can't find a reason to harm your niece. I think it's better to visit the Shen Mansion?" Gao suggested, "But just based on Mrs. Liu's one-sided words, I think it was Mrs. Wei who did it. But It's too rash. Let's ask carefully... Logically speaking, the Shen family's status is delicate now, and Mrs. Wei won't be so ruthless for such a trivial matter!"
But Zhao, who was eager to find a scapegoat to explain herself - Liu Ruoye's current status was certainly not qualified to be a scapegoat that could impress Zheng Sanya - didn't see it that way. She said with a sullen face: "The woman is jealous. , What can't be done? Besides, my niece has no heart, otherwise why would she always go to such a remote Zhuangzi... Even if there are women living here... I think it is really this Mrs. Wei!" (To be continued)
