"A blessing in disguise?"
After hearing what Mrs. Yongchangbo said, He Yi was stunned.
For a moment, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart -
The murderer who hurt himself not only did not suffer pain when he was punished, but was cured of the real illness in his body!
This, what is this
When he thought that He Tian was originally sick and had only one breath left, but was cured of his illness due to a "self-punishment" and was slowly recovering, He Yi felt as sick as if he had eaten a live fly.
She felt even more inexplicable resentment in her heart.
It's not fair, God is so unfair.
Why!
Why do evildoers get a "blessing in disguise" even if they don't pay the price for their mistakes
As for what Mrs. Yongchang Bo was worried about, her marriage, He Yi didn't think too much about it at the moment.
However, she soon felt criticism and strange eyes from the outside world.
"...Tsk, she still has the nerve to come out. A rich lady who has not yet left the palace rushes to be her brother-in-law's step-mother while her sister is seriously ill. How shameless!"
"That's right, the He family is a noble family after all, so why are things becoming more and more unorganized?!"
"However, Miss He San's wishful thinking has been completely overturned. The Duke's wife Ji Ren has her own destiny. When she was critically ill, Dr. Yang from the Imperial Hospital actually diagnosed the real cause of her illness-"
"What? Are you saying that He's illness is cured?!"
"Okay, I heard that I have been able to get out of bed in the past two days. Although my body is still weak, it is starting to get better!"
"Oh, this is really a rare thing. The last time I went to visit her, oh my, she was so thin that she looked so pitiful!"
"...So, this person should do more good deeds, so that he can be blessed!"
At the flower viewing banquet held by the eldest princess's mansion, all the ladies gathered together and chatted about the gossip of the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Just as Mrs. Yongchangbo had worried before, He Tian was seriously ill, and the He family planned to marry He Yi to the Duke's Mansion to fill in the house for her brother-in-law. The news spread almost throughout the capital.
If this matter is successfully accomplished, He Yi and the He family will be worthy of some criticism.
But the problem is-
Alas, to put it inappropriately, it is simply stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
Originally, with the influence of the Duke of Wei and her status as the eldest daughter of Yongchang Bo, He Yi could still marry well.
Now, He Yi and Wei Guogong are innocent and have no personal relationship. However, because of the rumors in the capital, everyone looks at He Yi with ambiguity and inquiry.
There are also some rich ladies like He Yi who have not left the court, and they have begun to draw a clear line with He Yi.
It was as if He Yi was some kind of disgusting source of infection, and if he got involved with her, his reputation would be damaged.
He Yi finally felt the pain of being isolated.
After all, she was just a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She was pampered by her parents at home. When she walked out, outsiders would look up to her because of Mrs. Wei Guogong's reputation.
Therefore, even if the He family fell, she did not endure too much hardship.
However, at this moment, seeing everyone's strange looks and hearing their whispers, He Yi felt that her little face was burning red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
In the end, He Yi couldn't stand this feeling, turned pale and ran out without thinking.
The maids behind her couldn't catch up with her, and they didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of attracting more people's attention and ridicule, so they could only turn back midway and secretly ran to Mrs. Yongchangbo for help.
He Yi was not familiar with the layout of the eldest princess's mansion, so she ran around for a long time and got lost in the winding courtyard.
"Eh? Then, isn't that the third girl?"
The boy next to Wei Guogong Kang Mo suddenly let out a soft cry.
Comer didn't have much interest in this flower-viewing banquet at first. He just came over for the sake of the eldest princess, and then planned to go home.
Comer didn't want to attract attention, so he deliberately found a deserted path.
As a result, he met He Yi who was lost.
Seeing He Yi's little face that was flushed from running and her eyes that were washed by tears and looked extra bright, Kang Mo's heart was touched unconsciously.
"Sanniang, why are you here? Where is the maid?" Kang Mo didn't think much, raised his legs and came to He Yi's immediate area.
He Yi was shocked.
Seeing that the person who came was actually his familiar brother-in-law, He Yi had a complicated look in his eyes.
There were surprises, grievances, avoidance, and even a trace of emotion that she didn't even notice.
"I've met the Duke!"
He Yi pretended to be distant and saluted Kang Mo, turned around and ran out.
He looked eager to escape, as if Comer was some kind of scourge.
The smile on Kang Mo's face froze, but he was a kind and observant person. After briefly recalling He Yi's expression just now, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Go to the front and ask, has Sanniang been wronged in any way?"
"By the way, I think Sanniang seems to be lost. She is not familiar with the eldest princess's mansion. You, you can find a servant from the princess's mansion to follow her and have a look!"
The boy quickly agreed and then started to act according to Kang Mo's instructions.
Not long after, it was confirmed that the servants of the Princess Mansion had found He Yi and brought her back to the flower viewing banquet. Kang Mo left with peace of mind.
On the way, the boy's attitude was respectful, but his eyes were a little hesitant and he replied: "When I return to my country, there seem to be some bad rumors outside!"
"What rumors?" Comer reined in the reins and stopped riding.
The boy didn't dare to hide anything and hurriedly told all the criticisms about He Yi in the capital.
In fact, Kang Mo vaguely guessed that He Yi's current situation was not good without the servant's reply.
Thinking about it, the He family's plans were not very secretive at the beginning, but He Yi, a woman who had not yet left the cabinet, stayed in the Duke's Mansion for several days under the guise of "taking care of her sister."
The dignitaries in the capital are not fools. With the He family acting like this and the Duke of Wei acquiescing, it is not difficult to guess the plans of the two families.
It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.
Even Comer didn't expect that his wife, who was about to die, could actually recover.
Of course, he, he didn't expect his wife to die.
Comer was also happy that his wife could survive and saw his wife and son crying and holding each other.
But, but... alas, I just missed Sanniang.
Back at the house, Kang Mo first went to greet his mother, and then came to the main room.
Seeing "He Tian" still weak, Kang Mo felt a little distressed, but he still didn't forget about He Yi.
"Tian'er, there's something-"
Before Kang Mo could finish speaking, He Tiantian spoke first, "Mr. Guo, there is something I want to discuss with you!"
Comer had to swallow his words, smiled and said to He Tiantian, "What's the matter? You say it first!"
"That's right. Because of my illness, I specially invited Yi'er to come and live in our house. Although we are open and honest, outsiders may think too much!"
"Yi'er is a girl who has not yet left the court, and her reputation is the most important thing. I happen to be in better health now, so I want to invite the ladies from Beijing to come and sit at home and take the opportunity to clarify things for Yi'er!"
Comer:…
His wife also thought of this, but Kang Mo didn't feel happy, but felt a strange feeling!
