"Mother, why are you here..." Before she finished asking, Shen Xinyan rushed over and hugged her, and murmured in shock, "You're going to scare mother to death, you're going to scare mother to death..."
Wei Yingzhi didn't understand her such a strong reaction, but she could feel the trembling body of the person hugging her, the feeling as if she had experienced great fear came through, and her heart couldn't help but tighten .
"Mother, I'm fine, I'm fine, don't be afraid..." Although she didn't know what happened, she still patted Shen Xinyan on the back, comforting her just like her mother coaxed herself when she was a child.
It took a long time for Shen Xinyan to turn around from that hopeless fear, and caressed her daughter's face over and over again, making sure that she was in front of her, and then she was completely relieved.
As soon as the tight strings were relaxed, she felt her legs go weak and she almost couldn't stand upright.
Still, Wei Yingzhi, who discovered her abnormality in time, supported her in time.
"mother!"
"It doesn't matter to me, it doesn't matter, let's go back first, go back first..."
"Okay, let's go to Cousin Hui first, and then go back together." Wei Yingzhi picked up the wooden sword that had just fallen to the ground, and said while supporting her.
"And your brother!" After the panic, Shen Xinyan's senses finally came back, and before Wei Yingzhi could ask, she ordered, "Ying'er, take your cousin Hui back first, and I will look for your brother. Mother has no idea about the specific situation." Time will tell you more, just remember, after you bring Hui Er back, wash and change her clothes yourself."
Wei Yingzhi understood her meaning and nodded: "I understand."
After making arrangements, the mother and daughter walked a certain distance, and saw Yun Fu hurriedly approaching them.
"Ma'am, Ying'er, I found you!"
"But what's the matter?" Today's successive incidents have already made Shen Tingyan feel a little overwhelmed, and when he saw him like this, his heart immediately tugged.
"Brother Chenglin has something wrong, but it's all right now, but he told me to come and find you, and let me obey my wife's orders." Yun Fu was also a little puzzled by Wei Chenglin's arrangement, but he didn't have time to ask in detail. Yes.
Shen Xinyan understood as soon as she heard it.
The eldest son didn't want to make things big and damage his niece's reputation, so he just asked Yunfu to come over and help the leader, and deal with the matter properly first.
"Then let's go to Hui'er." She ordered.
On the way to the wooden house, she simply asked Yunfu about Wei Chenglin, and was relieved when she learned that Wei Chenglin had been diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician and begged Concubine Rui to block the news.
There are still too many unknowns about today's incident, no matter what, I still try to cover it up first, so as not to spread the matter and add to the conversation of others, and even affect my niece's reputation.
Back at the wooden house by the lake, Zhou Guanning was still inside, going in and out, wiping the face of Shen Huiran, who was sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake.
"Madam Wei, Master Hou, Miss Wei!" Seeing the three of them coming in, she hastily put down her wet handkerchief to greet them.
Although she was not happy to see her, at this moment, Shen Xinyan was also full of gratitude to her who stayed to take care of her niece, and sincerely thanked her: "Thank you Miss Zhou!"
Zhou Guanning was a little uncomfortable, she lowered her head slightly and said, "It's just a little effort, thank you for not daring to be your wife!"
Wei Yingzhi's feelings are a bit complicated. Although she is grateful to her for accompanying her cousin, she is still very wary of Zhou Zhuo before she finds out whether Shen Huiran's encounter was caused by Zhou Zhuo.
Therefore, she went directly to check Shen Huiran on the couch, and saw that she was still half unconscious and half awake, but her body was much neater than when she first came in.
Yunfu was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to ask more questions, so he hurried forward and together with Wei Yingzhi helped Shen Huiran up.
Seeing them leave, Zhou Guanning naturally wouldn't stay long, besides, she also wanted to find her second brother to ask what happened, why did Miss Shen say that Miss Wei was looking for him to vent her anger? Is this matter related to him today
After the three of them successfully brought Shen Huiran back to where she and Wei Yingzhi lived, they invited the imperial physician to make a detailed diagnosis and treatment, and learned that Shen Huiran was only inhaled a little drug, which caused her to be comatose and awake at the same time. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with him, so everyone was completely relieved.
And after a while, Wei Chenglin who got the news also rushed over. Seeing that his complexion had recovered and his demeanor showed no signs of abnormality, Shen Xinyan felt relieved.
Instruct the maid to take good care of the sleeping Shen Huiran, and when the four of them went outside, Shen Xinyan asked him about today's affairs in detail.
"It's my child who was careless. I didn't expect to follow the path of a villain, so that it almost caused a catastrophe." Wei Chenglin said bitterly with a murderous look in his eyes.
"From this point of view, the person who dealt with Huiran and Xu who dealt with you are the same person, and the purpose..." Yun Fu coughed lightly, and said with deep meaning.
Those present are not fools, and they will understand it as soon as they hear it.
Shen Xinyan's face darkened: "It seems that the person behind the scenes trapped you and Hui'er in the wooden house at the beginning, and then led Ying'er and Miss Zhou to go, but he didn't expect that you could resist the medicine. Efficiency, insist on leaving."
"Then there was Zhou Zhuo, the son of Tuesday who appeared for no reason. He broke into the wooden house and found Hui'er inside. Just when Hui'er was a little awake and saw him, he fled in panic. Then Ying'er came , after asking, I thought it was Zhou Zhuo's work, so I decided to go find that Zhou Zhuo."
"After Ying'er rushed out, Miss Zhou also came at this time, and she only saw Hui'er in the room."
She sorted out the general situation of the matter, but her face was very ugly.
The purpose of all this is just to create a good show of "catching rape". The "protagonists" in the play are her son and niece, and the "audience" are her daughter and Zhou Wanning, or that Zhou Zhuo can also be counted. one.
Wei Yingzhi also figured it out, her pretty face flushed with anger, and she cursed angrily: "Despicable!"
Wei Chenglin's face was ashen.
He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if he couldn't leave in time today.
Luring the younger sister, Ah Wan, and even Zhou Zhuo to "catch the rape", the intentions of the people behind the scenes are clearly revealed.
He managed to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely explain this matter to Cousin Hui."
"Brother Lin, I don't care how you plan to deal with this matter, the only thing is that Hui'er is an innocent girl, and I don't want her to be innocently involved in your unclear matters." Shen Xinyan's eyes were complicated, still expressing attitude.
"Mother, don't worry!" Wei Chenglin didn't know that Shen Huiran was innocently involved in today's matter, and felt quite guilty.
"And the imperial concubine..."
"Madam, don't worry, Auntie, then I'll talk about it." Yun Fu answered.
"In that case, you all go back first!" Shen Xinyan rubbed her forehead and ordered.
Wei Chenglin responded in a low voice, looking at his mother who had turned around and entered the room, with a somewhat bitter expression.
"Brother, and that Zhou Zhuo, you have to find a way to shut him up, if there is even a little gossip about Cousin Hui outside, I will definitely not let him go!" Wei Yingzhi spoke harshly.
"My brother will take care of it, don't worry."
Wei Yingzhi still trusts her brother's ability quite a bit, and she was relieved to get his promise.
Shen Xinyan dismissed the maids in the house and took care of Shen Huiran herself. Looking at her sleeping niece, thinking of the series of events that happened today, and the ending of her daughter's life, she unconsciously clenched her hands tightly.
Even though the time is wrong, all of this makes perfect sense. Why did her daughter go to find Zhou Zhuo in her previous life and have a dispute with him, which eventually led to her own death.
Her body trembled uncontrollably. When this happened in her previous life, Zhou Wanning had already entered the door. Although this matter has been advanced a lot in this life, the means are still the same, and the purpose is still the same after all.
"Mother, don't worry, my cousin will be fine." When she came in, she saw her mother's body shaking like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. Wei Yingzhi thought she was worried about her cousin, and comforted her softly by wrapping her arms around her shoulders.
Shen Xinyan pulled her to sit beside her, and asked softly, "You went to look for that Zhou Zhuo, why did you turn back on the way?"
Wei Yingzhi habitually hugged her arm and put it on her shoulder: "Because I found that something was wrong. The scenery of the waterside pavilion is better, the wind blows from all directions, and everything is arranged for rest. Cousin Hui likes to sit on the railing the most. Enjoying the scenery in the lake, why this time, instead of leaving the water pavilion, you want to enter the densely packed wooden house?"
Shen Xinyan didn't expect this to be the reason, she was relieved for a while, but also a little sour.
"My mother's Ying'er has finally grown up..."
No longer that reckless girl who only impulsively defends her close ones.
"Didn't your mother teach you to walk around twice when you're angry, and think about it when you're not so angry." Wei Yingzhi rubbed against her shoulder.
Shen Xinyan caressed her long hair, at this moment, she really felt that the nightmare in her previous life had really gone away.
Whether it is a daughter or her niece, they will definitely have a completely different life in this life.
"Mother, don't you doubt that Zhou Wanning? Could it be her and Zhou Zhuo..." Halfway through the conversation, Wei Yingzhi dismissed the idea, after all, her brother was also enlightened.
Shen Xinyan was touched by her words.
That's right, under the circumstances at that time, she actually kept Zhou Guanning just like that. She never thought that she would take the opportunity to harm Huier.
She sighed vaguely.
Probably because she had been with Zhou Guanning for so many years in her previous life, no matter how much she disliked her in her heart, she still affirmed her tenderness and kindness.
Therefore, in today's situation, she left her helpless niece to Zhou Guanning who was still in the wooden house without any hesitation.
