Shaoyin took the medicine and fell into a deep sleep. The thin face was delicate and pale, lying there quietly, like a porcelain doll made of clay, with no trace of a living person.
Han'er stood by the bed, stretching out her small hand from time to time to check her mother's breath. She was too fragile, her lips were almost bloodless, and the ups and downs of her chest could hardly be captured, which made him raise his heart and dare not blink.
He heard the doctor's diagnosis from the side.
The mother's health has deteriorated to a certain extent, and she may not be able to bear it, which is very unoptimistic.
"Brother Han, do you want to rest?"
Han'er shook her head, rejecting the maid's persuasion, fearing that if she made a mistake, her mother would lose her breath in a deep sleep.
He doesn't want to. Mother managed to get through last night, and survived in the hands of King Qi's remnant party. She shouldn't have passed away like this. She persisted so hard, and she shouldn't have lost to fate like this.
Before I knew it, the sky darkened.
The maid lit the lamp.
Han'er changed her posture. From sitting cross-legged, to straightening your legs. He was still staring at his mother's peaceful sleeping face, his eyes were sore from staring at her for too long, so he raised his little hand and rubbed it.
"Brother Han, do you want dinner?"
Han'er glanced at it and nodded: "Bring it here."
He ate dinner by Shaoyin's bedside, and he didn't leave even an inch, and even looked back from time to time while eating.
The maids and nuns couldn't help sighing in their eyes, this child is really pure and filial, it is worthwhile for the wife to raise him.
After eating, Han'er had a solid stomach, and gradually calmed down a bit, and began to think.
There is still hope for the mother's body.
Although the doctor said that, but after he thought about it carefully, after a bumpy ride by He Zhiyan, his mother was able to hold on forcibly, which shows that her body is not as bad as the doctor said.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to make it back home, and she was afraid that she would die on the way... However, not only did she come back, she even managed to take medicine before falling asleep.
After washing his hands and gargling his mouth, he climbed into bed again and watched over his mother.
At this time, he was in the mood to think about his father.
Just thinking of him, sarcasm can't help but appear in his eyes. Lost right foot? That would be great.
This is the only place where he doesn't hate He Zhiyan, but rather admires it. He did such a good job, almost beautifully done!
Han'er guarded her mother, hoping that she would wake up. At the same time, I couldn't help but think, if my mother wakes up, survives this, and survives, what will happen next
Father is like that...
However, he also knew that if his mother survived, then Fifth Aunt would never be able to marry his father, which would be considered a good thing.
Over there, Xu Yaoyue heard the servants say that Master Hou hadn't eaten dinner, and was worried, so she brought the food to Tingxuetang herself.
"go out!"
As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a sound from inside the room.
After a pause, she said softly, "Brother-in-law, it's me."
The room was silent for a moment, and then a hoarse voice came: "Come in."
Xu Yaoyue pushed the door open and went in.
Qin Jinye was lying on the bed, but within half a day, his eyes were sunken, his stubble was exposed, gloomy and carefree. There is no more prestige in the morning, brave and fierce.
Xu Yaoyue felt a pain in her heart, and approached with a dinner plate: "I heard from a servant that brother-in-law didn't have dinner?"
"I don't want to eat." Qin Jinye wanted to say, but felt that it was too naive, so he didn't say it, and changed his voice: "Put it down."
Xu Yaoyue put the dinner plate on the table.
She wrung her hands and stood aside, hesitating to speak.
"Are you injured?" Qin Jinye spoke first.
Xu Yaoyue was startled, then shook her head: "No, thank you brother-in-law for your concern."
"En." Qin Jinye nodded, thinking of the scene of the girl bravely standing in front of him during the day, his breath was slightly suffocated, and indescribable feelings spread in his heart. Secretly clenched his palms, he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be so reckless in the future!"
Xu Yaoyue blurted out that she was not reckless!
But this should not be said.
She pursed her lips hard, her heart full of astringency, the indescribable sweetness and sourness intertwined, after a long time, her throat moved, and she said softly: "If there is a next time, I will do the same."
Such a straightforward expression of heart made Qin Jinye's heart startled, and then it started beating violently!
He tried his best to control himself, without looking at her, he just said, "Go out."
Obviously his voice was very cold, but Xu Yaoyue felt a little sweet in her heart, pursed her lips, and said in a joyful voice: "Brother-in-law, remember to eat."
Then he slowly exited the room.
Shaoyin learned about this from Huihui.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Hui Hui asked tentatively.
Shaoyin said: "What are you talking about? They were in heat, they stopped being polite, they didn't do anything, what should I say?" He even admonished it, "Don't be too dirty, think of people dirty, they are innocent of!"
"Hehe." Gray gray.
Nothing can express its mood at the moment better than these two words.
It has a hundred "huh" to her.
The next day, people from the Xu family came.
Such a big event, of course, can't be hidden, Huang came to visit early in the morning.
Shaoyin took the medicine and fell asleep again.
It was Huang who was received by Xu Yaoyue: "...that's how it happened. My sister was shocked, and my brother-in-law's foot was injured."
Sitting beside her daughter's bed, Mrs. Huang wiped her tears: "My son, why are you so miserable!"
After going to see a flower, I met Qi Wang Yudang! Normal people are still terrified, let alone her body
Han'er got up early in the morning and found that her mother was fine, so she was much happier and ate a bowl of rice. But as soon as his grandmother came, she cried endlessly beside his mother's bed, which made him feel irritable all of a sudden.
What are you crying for? What should I do if I disturb my mother
Besides, my mother is still alive, can I keep it and cry later
But he was young, so he really shouldn't have said such a thing, so he had to restrain himself and persuade: "Grandma, don't cry, mother will get better."
Mrs. Huang already knew about the fact that he stayed by the bed. Seeing that the child was so filial, she couldn't hold back her tears and cried loudly while hugging him.
Fortunately, after crying, she cheered up and asked someone to put the precious medicinal materials she brought into the warehouse.
There were also people from the palace, but they were visiting Qin Jinye. Knowing that he was injured, the emperor specially sent two imperial doctors.
But the results were disappointing.
Mrs. Huang was also shocked when she heard the news: "How could this be?!"
What will be the future of the crippled Marquis of Wu'an? !
Mrs. Huang hurried back, but Xu Yaoyue still stayed. The mistress is ill, and Qin Jinye doesn't care about the affairs of the house. Since a month ago, Xu Yaoyue has been in charge of the affairs of the house. Now Shaoyin can't control things even more, if she is not around, the house will be in chaos.
And after this period of time, the servants of the Hou Mansion more or less guessed that when the wife is gone, this will be the next mistress. Therefore, he dare not treat her presumptuously.
Xu Yaoyue took care of the affairs of the mansion every day, taking care of her seriously ill sister and young nephew, while Qin Jinye called for doctors everywhere, hoping to cure the foot.
But he almost invited all the doctors in the capital, and even the royal doctors in the palace came to the mansion to consult him, but the result was still pessimistic—"The tendons on Lord Hou's feet were completely severed."
Qin Jinye was upset by this, and even blamed his wife—if she hadn't insisted on going out of the city to see the peach blossoms, how could he have messed with He Zhiyan, and how could his feet be disabled? !
But his complaints were in vain, because Shaoyin had fallen ill since she came back, and being bedridden was a minor thing, and now she seldom wakes up every day, so he couldn't blame her.
Shaoyin wakes up two or three times a day, each time for about a quarter of an hour, drinks a bowl of medicine, eats something, and then talks to Han'er.
The main thing is to talk to Han'er: "Mother needs to rest, more rest will make you better soon, Han'er don't worry, you have to trust mother."
Han'er didn't believe it at first, and was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep. But after three or four days, he saw that his mother was able to eat and drink medicines, but she was lethargic for more time, and gradually he grew hopeful, wishing that she would really get better every day.
During this period, Qin Jinye never came to visit.
True, he had lost one foot. But it's not that there is no crutches in the house, it's not that there is no wheelchair, they have been prepared for him long ago.
But he just didn't want to see his wife.
As for Xu Yaoyue, she goes to Tingxue Hall twice a day. Once in the morning, I asked him if he slept well and if the wound still hurt. Once in the evening, I asked him if he had taken any medicine or had he eaten, and he untied him and told him to fall asleep on time.
Twice a day, never missing out.
In the evening of that day, Xu Yaoyue served soothing tea to her brother-in-law, took the empty cup and was about to leave when suddenly a big hand stretched out from the bed and grabbed her wrist.
