Early the next morning, Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze went to send Gong Zhuoxiang off together. Neither of them mentioned anything about what happened before, but when they parted, Qiao Yingze made a long bow to Gong Zhuoxiang. And Gong Zhuoliang also called him brother sincerely, Gong Zhuoxiang smiled brightly, turned his horse's head around and galloped away.
Gong Zhuoliang and the two returned to the West Mansion, remembering that they were going to visit the Gong family, but Gong Zhuoliang really didn't want to dress up as a woman, so he took Ruo Lan and Ye Er with him in the name of "Madame is in poor health, so I asked my uncle to visit on her behalf" We went out together.
"Don't you know how to cool people down when they're burned like this?"
Gong Zhuoliang looked at Mrs. Gong who was shivering under the quilt with her face flushed with burns. There was not even an ice veil on her forehead to cool down, and there was no smell of medicine in the room. I don't know what kind of incense burns so smoky , so he glanced coldly at the maids in the room, and saw that they all looked a little scared, knowing that there must be some problems.
"What are you still doing in a daze! You haven't put on a veil for Madam's forehead, added a quilt, extinguished the incense, opened the windows to ventilate, and there is still a decoction to reduce fever, go boil it."
In recent days, Gong Zhuoliang has regained the habit of being a man. Although he still looks like a half-grown boy, he naturally has a stern aura when he speaks. When he got up, even Master Gong who was standing behind him shrank his neck, not daring to say a word. Aunt Wu was staring at the appearance of her child, Yinglang, and didn't pay attention to the surrounding things at all.
"Father, since mother is ill, why don't you ask a good doctor to see her? What's the use of looking for those witches?"
Gong Zhuoliang looked at the room full of talismans and curses in disgust, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he turned around and left the room while Master Gong and Aunt Wu hurriedly followed behind him.
"Isn't she... self-inflicted."
Following Gong Zhuoliang to the side hall, Master Gong withdrew his servants, boldly approached him a few steps and grinned.
"Nonsense! You..."
Knowing what Master Gong said, Gong Zhuoliang slammed the table, and before he could say the reprimand, Master Gong almost knelt down in horror, but Aunt Wu reacted quickly and supported him, otherwise he would be The old man kneeled down to his son, and he really lost the slightest bit of face.
And seeing Master Gong's useless appearance, Gong Zhuoliang couldn't say anything to reprimand him. After all, he was the biological father of his own body. Although Gong Zhuoliang disdained him, he still had to respect the father and son Gangchang in face.
"This this… "
Master Gong's face turned blue and pale, but he also knew that his son couldn't afford to discipline him now, so he smiled awkwardly in the end, very puzzled in his heart. It is said that Gong Zhuoliang should be the first one who hates that tigress the most in the world. Now such a good opportunity, apart from this woman, why did he get so angry
"Master Wanwu is angry, isn't the Eldest Young Master telling you to go over here, leave the matter here to my concubine."
Aunt Wu accompanied Master Gong with a smile, coaxed him out of the hall, then turned back to Gong Zhuoliang with a suppressed smile, and winked at him.
"..."
Gong Zhuoliang was very angry when he saw Aunt Wu's way of apologizing to Mr. Gong, but seeing the preoccupation on her face, he calmed down his anger and followed her back to her room, but his expression was cold all the way. .
"Liang'er, do you really think that your mother is the kind of vicious woman who covets his wife and murders the mistress?"
Leading Gong Zhuoliang to sit at the table in the back room, Aunt Wu looked around to make sure that there was no one in the room, then sat down opposite Gong Zhuoliang with a wry smile, her eyes already glistening with tears.
"Why would my son miss mother so much? My son is just angry. Why should mother put her heart on such an incompetent and selfish man? I hate Mrs. Gong, and I wish she would suffer retribution, but I also admit that the Gong family can Today's wealth is all managed by her single-handedly. That man can do half of the effort for this family? But now, he thinks that our mother and son can overwhelm Mrs. Gong, and he wants his first wife to die of illness like this. Is it still a person!"
Gong Zhuoliang really believed that Aunt Wu was not that kind of vicious woman, and also believed that she was more toward her son, so in front of her, Gong Zhuoliang didn't hide his temper, because he didn't hide his voice, so he didn't say anything. The voice that has completely passed the voice change period is slightly hoarse. Gong Zhuoliang really feels quite refreshed after saying these few words, but he is rarely someone who can lose his temper and complain.
"I don't dare to have any hope for him anymore. My good boy, if you can trust me as a mother, that's more important than anything else."
Aunt Wu was not at all annoyed by Gong Zhuoliang's attitude, but couldn't help but leaned forward and touched his face. This was the first time in more than two years that she had seen her son return to men's clothing. Sure enough, the child was her own. Well, in the eyes of Aunt Wu, his good son is the most handsome man in the world, no one can compare to him.
"Mom... what happened?"
Gong Zhuoliang was a little embarrassed by being touched, and his anger was quenched by Aunt Wu's teardrops. Thinking about it, he felt apologetic, so he took out his handkerchief from his arms and wiped her tears.
Since the separation, I was only busy with family affairs, and I never thought of letting Aunt Wu see my appearance in men's clothing. I just asked Ye Er to visit her once a month as usual, thinking that she had never mentioned it to me. What kind of request, Gong Zhuoliang's heart softened again. Thinking about it again, she is only in her early thirties this year. In modern times, she can't find a good husband with such a temperament. How can it not be a pity to be tied to your body for a lifetime.
"Ah... evil, do you still remember that girl Ruozi?"
Aunt Wu took her son's handkerchief and wiped away her tears, then put it in her arms like a baby, turned away and wiped her face with her handkerchief, and then continued to talk sadly.
"Of course, it has something to do with her?"
How could Gong Zhuoliang not remember that vicious maid? I heard from Ruo Lan and Ye Er that Ruo Zi married Gong Zhuoyu as a concubine. She was originally quite favored, but later she was disrespected by Gong Zhuoyu's wife. Madam gave her a harsh lesson and almost lost half of her life. She was obedient to the discipline, and she became more alive when she was found pregnant at the age of 20.
"It's really retribution... In fact, Madam is not sick, it is the medicine given by Ruozi and the master, which is the one that was going to be used on my son-in-law."
Aunt Wu held Gong Zhuoliang's hand and stroked it gently, sighed with a complicated expression, and told an amazing news.
"Didn't the tigress get sick from being frightened by her cousin? Why is Ruozi involved again?"
Gong Zhuoliang raised his eyebrows, thinking that this is really ironic, the tigress planned to use the medicine to kill Qiao Yingze, but now she has used it herself, and that Ruozi is actually the best.
Speaking of that poison, its rarity is that it will not cause any substantial damage to the human body, so we do not use autopsy and other inspection methods. It invades the body like a virus, causing a series of illness-like symptoms such as high fever. Mrs. Gong is suffering so hard because of her good health, but with Qiao Yingze's physique, how many days can she survive the high fever
"I only found out after my wife got sick that Ruozi had already hooked up with the master. According to what they said, the child in Ruozi's stomach is also the master's seed. It is a big scandal for the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law to commit adultery. Now I want to poison my wife and mistress..."
Aunt Wu closed her eyes and made up her mind, explaining everything to her fellow palacemate Zhuo Liang.
It turned out that the wife punished Ruozi a few years ago, and Ruozi held a grudge, and felt that it was hopeless to follow Gong Zhuoyu, so she turned her idea on the old man who spent all his time drinking away his sorrows, luring him to "force" herself, and then half pushed and half agreed with her. After committing adultery, the wind blew past his ears like this, which forced out a bit of Master Gong's temper, and when Master Gong wanted to ask Gong Zhuoxiang for help, he was frightened by Gong Zhuoxiang first.
Later, Mrs. Gong was also personally taught by Gong Zhuoxiang. She was so frightened that she had a fever after drawing the postponement, but she had already seen each other the next day. When he was burning and confused, Master Gong cried and begged him to make decisions for himself and the child, Master Gong really agreed, and Aunt Wu overheard their words, Ruo Zi asked Master Gong to favor her as a concubine, thinking it was She also knew that she could not go to the front of the stage because of her status, and she was afraid of Gong Zhuoliang, so she wanted to push Aunt Wu up, not only to protect herself from the wind, but also to curry favor with Gong Zhuoliang's mother and son.
Although Master Gong is afraid of the tigress, he is not afraid of Aunt Wu as a concubine. He also feels that he is flattering her, so he also puts up the master's score and wants to settle this matter. If Aunt Wu is not pretending to be cowardly, just He was sure that his son had to obey his orders, and that this matter must be decided by his son, which made the two of them slow down the matter, otherwise she might have been pushed to the cusp of the storm by them, and if their mother and son In case of any eventuality, I'm afraid she will be responsible for today's poisoning of the mistress.
"These two... are really inferior to beasts!"
After hearing Aunt Wu's words, Gong Zhuoliang didn't even bother to scold the two of them. He originally thought that Master Gong was oppressed by the tigress all the year round. However, he didn't expect that the root cause was to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, and the one who spoiled his son's concubine. Gong Zhuoliang felt that these people in the Gong family should be pulled out and shot for a minute!
"Liang'er... Mother didn't want to drag you down, but if you are implicated by these bad people because of mother, it will be really harmful to you. The only solution now is for mother to find a secluded nunnery." Practicing with your hair can not only preserve your reputation, but also allow your mother to spend the rest of her life clean."
Aunt Wu shook her head disheartened, she really didn't have any extravagant hopes for such a husband in her heart. At first, she still thought that her husband was gentle to her, and felt sorry for him, a man who was bullied too much by his wife, but things have come to this point , she realized how wrong she was.
Now, she is regarded as her husband's obedient son, and she also knows that Gong Zhuoliang has a bright future, so she naturally can't bear to ruin his reputation by running away from her husband's house. She wanted to really become a monk, but that would only make her worse. He underestimated Gong Zhuoliang's background, so he took the method of bringing his hair to practice and praying for his family, which not only kept his own innocence, but also prevented Gong Zhuoliang from being said to have been born by a nun.
"Mother, why do you wrong yourself like this for me?"
Gong Zhuoliang's heart was shocked when he heard the words, and he looked at the loving woman in front of him in a daze. Once again, he felt the selfless maternal love from this woman. In his previous life, he only saw that others could enjoy it freely. Sincere emotions that are hard to come by.
"For you, what is there to be wronged by, mother? In the future, mother will be very happy to pray for you, my uncle, and your children in front of the Buddha every day."
Seeing how moved Gong Zhuoliang was, Aunt Wu hugged him into her arms with a smile through her tears. She just felt that her life was already fulfilled by being with her son like this, and she had nothing else to ask for.
"Mother, I'll take you with me today. We won't go to any nunnery. My son will buy you a good house. We can live comfortably. Min Yan, you haven't seen it yet, it's your grandson." , It’s been more than four months now, it’s interesting to laugh all day without crying or fussing, I don’t worry about those nurses, I still need your grandmother to help take care of it.”
Gong Zhuo's conscience was moved, and he didn't think it was ugly to act like a baby with a woman who was not a few years older than his previous life. He just felt that it was rare in this life to have such a mother who really loved him, so he should treat her better!
"Okay, let's not talk about these things, how to solve this matter now?"
Aunt Wu was moved by what Gong Zhuoliang said, but thinking of her own scruples, she still preferred to live in a nunnery, so she smiled and changed the topic, and returned to today's business.
"The tigress already knew about their poisoning?"
Gong Zhuoliang sneered when he heard the words, his heart was between a teammate who was like a tiger and a teammate who was not as good as a pig, he would naturally not choose the latter, now that the Gong family is still his natal family in name, with Mrs. Hold up the facade, if it falls into the hands of the Gong family father and son and Ruozi, he will only be dragged down to death.
"Seeing what Ruozi meant, she knew what Ruozi meant. It seemed that Ruozi cursed back after poisoning her. Mrs. Gong's anger and hatred made her poisoned so quickly. That's why the master made up his mind to get rid of her, but he kept saying It's for you and the child in Ruozi's belly."
After thinking about it carefully, Aunt Wu gave Gong Zhuoliang an affirmative answer with a wry smile. If Mrs. Gong gets better, Ruo Zi will definitely not survive, and the master is afraid that life would be worse than death...
"Since they say they did it themselves, then everything will be left to God's will."
Gong Zhuoliang hooked the corners of his mouth coldly, thinking that this family is a beast that deserves to die, so let them bite the dog themselves!
