To say that this man is shameless is just this.
When Wu Yaru had someone to support her, not only this man, but the entire Song family treated her very well. The elders treated her like their own daughter, her husband and he had a deep love for her, and the servants were even more respectful to her. She was as comfortable as she could be, just like she was soaking in a honey pot. Although her elders and husband might be a little unhappy because she didn't get pregnant for a year or two, they never said a harsh word to her, so she probably became a little arrogant.
It’s just that because of the breakdown of the relationship with the Wen family, the true face of this family was revealed.
So today...
Han had intervened in Wu Yaru's marriage, but she chose the Song family herself. Han only asked: Are you sure? Wu Yaru nodded very confidently, and Han didn't say anything afterwards. When she got married, she still gave her a dowry, and the Song family also tried their best to help her in the officialdom. Wu Yaru thought Han acquiesced to her choice and thought she had made a good choice, but now thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid it's not the case.
Today is her younger brother's wedding, and Xiaocao doesn't want to be ruined by irrelevant people. Therefore, after leaving the Song family, she didn't take it seriously. Whether Wu Yaru directed and acted in the incident herself or was a pure victim, it had nothing to do with her.
The Meng family is quite far from the Wen family. The round trip, plus the time for the wedding process, will take at least more than an hour. The Meng family is not close either, but if you calculate the time, they should go back first so as not to miss the bride's entrance.
Xiaocao and Mrs. Du were riding in the same carriage. She thought about what happened before, "Second Aunt, did Tingyu do something when I was in the delivery room?" Before she said what she was going to do, the Song family members gathered together so "obediently" and took out the remaining medicine.
Mrs. Du's expression was a little subtle. To be honest, she was the one who was just a foil today. She had nothing to do with it from beginning to end. As for Wei Tingyu, she had always been puzzled before. Why did the eldest sister-in-law and others support the marriage between Miss Xuan and the son of Pingyang Marquis? After all, they had been living under the same roof for so many years. She knew their personalities very well, but she knew at least about 70% of them. None of them would push their daughter into the fire pit because of the pressure from Prince Dun. If it were said that Prince Dun had the same power as Prince Heng and would really threaten the safety of the Wen family, it might be barely justifiable, but the fact was not the case. Therefore, there must be other reasons.
Afterwards, the eldest son's attitude towards Wei Tingyu, as well as Xuan's intimacy with Wei Tingyu, were quite telling. It was not surprising that the seemingly weak and harmless Prince Pingyang had such a powerful aura that he could intimidate the entire Song family with just a few words, which was similar to the rumors but completely different.
"He didn't do anything, but he is still the son of a marquisate after all. Even if the Pingyang Marquisate is declining, his status is still extraordinary. The Song family, to be honest, has only had an official in the past two generations, and the highest one was a fourth-rank official. How can it be compared with the Marquisate? It doesn't seem strange that he would be shocked."
What Du said is true, but it has little to do with the real reason.
I still remember that Prince Wei glanced at her sideways after he finished his work. He didn't say it explicitly, but I understood it at that moment.
Okay, everyone understands, so don’t say what you shouldn’t say.
However, what was originally just a matter of curiosity has now been raised to a higher level. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Were Sister Xuan familiar with Prince Wei?"
Xiao Cao instantly understood what her second aunt wanted to say, and nodded with a smile, "Indeed."
"I said. Agreeing to the marriage proposal with him should make it easier for him to get treated, right?" But even if that was the case, it was probably more than just being familiar with each other. There was no need to go this far just to be familiar with each other. Mrs. Du did not ask any deeper questions.
The two of them then chatted some more.
Halfway through the journey, the carriage suddenly stopped. Since it stopped at a normal speed, it would not hit or hurt anyone. But it should not have reached home yet, whether judging by the time or the noise outside, and when the curtain was lifted, it was indeed the case.
"Why did the carriage stop?" Mrs. Du asked.
"Madam, something seems to have happened ahead, and the road is blocked." The maid outside replied.
"Go and see what's going on."
The maid responded and went, and came back quickly, "Madam, someone suddenly rushed out from the side alley and happened to run into the carriage. The driver subconsciously pulled the reins, and there was a porter next to him. Something in the frame fell over, and the horse stepped on something, and as a result, it lost control and even overturned the carriage."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cao rushed to the window and said, "Ting Yu..."
Mrs. Du was startled and held onto Xiaocao, "Xuan girl, Prince Wei's carriage is right in front of us. We didn't hear such a loud noise, so it must not be his carriage. Don't worry."
Xiao Cao also knew that she was just confused and foolish, so she smiled a little embarrassedly. "Second Aunt, I'll go down and take a look."
Mrs. Du wanted to stop him, but swallowed the words back and said, "The carriage may not be able to pass through now, so I might as well go and take a look." This is outside, it's different from other places. Not to mention that she won't be able to explain when she goes back, she won't be able to forgive herself.
Xiao Cao nodded, got off the carriage quickly, and trotted forward. She was still worried and went to the window of Wei Tingyu's carriage. The curtain was already lifted. When she saw the person sitting inside, she still breathed a sigh of relief, "Tingyu..."
"Xuan'er," as if he knew what she was going to ask, "When I came here, something had already happened ahead, but I guess it hasn't been too long. I just heard some vague noises not far away."
If she said that, they probably heard it later, but she was talking to her second aunt at the time and didn't pay much attention.
The attendant next to him said, "Fourth Miss, when the incident happened, we were only a few dozen feet away from them."
Xiao Cao nodded, "I'll go take a look."
Wei Tingyu asked several attendants who were accompanying him to follow him. When something happened, there would be many people watching the fun, and no one could be sure if there would be any accidents. Wei Tingyu was also unable to prevent it, so naturally he could only take precautions.
It is probably human nature to watch the fun, and it is the same everywhere. Here, people are gathered in three layers, talking a lot, and there are also crying and shouting sounds, and clearly the voices of children, crying and calling for their mothers.
"Please make way, please make way..."
With Wei Tingyu's attendants helping to clear the way, it was easy for Xiaocao to get in.
The situation inside made Xiaocao's pupils shrink slightly. "Don't move, people in the carriage." Xiaocao said sternly, turning back, "Get my medicine box immediately, hurry up."
The situation was quite tragic. The carriage overturned and hit a woman outside directly on her calf. Blood spread on the ground. A little girl next to her was shouting "Mom".
When I came in, I learned from the discussions that the mother and daughter were just passing by the carriage, and the little girl was walking on the inside. When the accident happened, the mother protected her child without a second thought, and then she got hurt.
The coachman fell off the carriage and didn't know where he was injured, but he tried his best to pull the reins to control the horse. Now the horse was standing quietly, the rope had been untied, but the coachman had fainted.
People passing by have helped to lift up the carriage. A maidservant at the door of the carriage wanted to take care of those inside. She kept calling out "girl" and then turned sideways to the outside, "Is there any kind-hearted person who can help find a doctor? I beg you, I beg you..." The maidservant was thrown out of the carriage directly and looked injured. She climbed the carriage with shaking hands and feet. She looked utterly at a loss.
Xiao Cao did not check on the people in the carriage first, but checked the driver's condition first. There was no blood on the ground, so he checked several fatal parts of his body and said, "He just hit his head and fainted. Where is the nearest hospital? Send him there first."
She turned around and checked the condition of the woman whose legs were crushed. After making sure that she was not injured elsewhere, she immediately used a silver needle to stop the bleeding. "Don't worry, big sister. It'll be fine. I'll check the situation in the carriage first." She touched the little girl's head and said, "Don't cry, good child. Take good care of your mother. I'll be here soon."
He walked to the carriage without stopping, asked about the maid's condition, and then quickly checked her. It was just a superficial wound. "Get down first, I'll take a look at the situation inside the carriage."
In fact, in this situation, the previous carriage should not be moved. At most, it could be lifted up slightly to take the injured woman out to avoid secondary injuries to the people in the car. However, these people did not know these things.
