Chapter 414: Vengeance must be retaliated
After taking the prescription prescribed by Dr. Lu, although my sister-in-law passed the critical period, her condition still did not improve. After staying in bed for more than ten days, she almost lost weight. She looked haggard and terminally ill, which made any Everyone felt worried after seeing this. In the past few days, apart from dealing with outside matters, Yun Luan spent the rest of her time taking care of her sister-in-law. Except for her absence at night, she stayed by her side most of the day. Xiao Wuyi also came here to take care of her sister-in-law when she had time. Her sister-in-law lay there, falling into a drowsy sleep every day. Only when she and Yun Huai came could she gather some energy and respond to them. Yun Luan arranged After completing the protection of the General's Mansion, I took the time to visit my sister-in-law again. Dong Ke was lying on the bed, still sleeping. If you didn't look carefully, you would just think that she had no breath and was dead. Yun Luan walked over step by step, slowly He slowly sat on the edge of the bed and gently held my sister-in-law's hand. "Sister-in-law, we are going to Princess Jiarong's Mansion for a banquet tonight. We may come back later. I also left some people in the mansion, and they I will protect you. You are alone in the house, don’t be afraid, I will take care of everything.”
Dong Ke was sleeping groggyly. When she heard Yun Luan's voice, she braced herself and managed to open her eyes. She pulled her lips and smiled softly at Yun Luan. "It's Xiaosi. Are you coming?"
"I'm fine. You can go with peace of mind. Please pay attention to safety outside. While taking care of your family, you must also take care of yourself. Now our entire General Mansion is on your shoulders. You can't continue Something happened."
Yun Luan's eyes were red, and she pursed her lips and nodded. "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will protect myself."
Dong Ke couldn't help it and coughed a few times in a low voice. Yun Luan quickly smoothed her back. She looked at her sister-in-law's haggard and pale face and said with a choked voice. "Sister-in-law, you have to cheer up... You can't be so willful anymore. I'm depressed. You were so strong before, how could a cold wind break you down?"
"Divine Doctor Lu said that you have a heart problem. I know what my sister-in-law's heart disease is... Do you miss your elder brother?"
Dong Ke's eyes were in a trance. Her vision was a little blurry, and she struggled to focus on Yun Luan's face. "Xiao Si... I... I have never forgotten your elder brother. I think about him every moment... You don't know how much I envy my second brother and sister. If Ashen can live, even if he loses his arms and legs, I can accept it."
"But he died and I didn't even see his body. Xiaosi, tell me, how can I accept that you left my life like this?"
Yun Luan sighed, and she knew that before her sister-in-law didn't cry, she had always suppressed her emotions in her heart. Once the emotions accumulated to the extreme, there would definitely be backlash. Now, her sister-in-law finally couldn't hold it anymore, and as As the days passed and the eldest brother no longer came back, the sister-in-law had to face the reality. The little hope in her heart dissipated little by little, and she began to become desperate and discouraged. It seemed that there was no hope in life. She lost the motivation to live. Yun Luan lowered his head, held his sister-in-law's palm, and pressed it against his forehead. "Sister-in-law, after attending Princess Jiarong's birthday banquet, I will set off immediately to Heifeng Gorge to find My eldest brother’s body. No matter what, I will find my eldest brother’s body and I will take him home.”
"How about you take good care of your health? When the time comes, how about we take him home together?"
In the past, as long as she said this, the sister-in-law would be very excited and her eyes would shine brightly. However, this time, the sister-in-law did not react at all. She curled her lips and smiled, shaking her head at Yun Luan. "Xiaosi, I think he is no longer in Heifengxia Ridge. Even if you go, you can't find his body..." Yun Luan was startled and didn't understand what the sister-in-law meant. "Sister-in-law..." Dong Ke tried hard to open his eyes. He held Yun Luan's hand tightly with his eyes and said to her word by word: "Xiao Si, I think your eldest brother is still alive. He should not be dead... That night, I told you that in my dream When I saw him, I dreamed that he applied medicine to me. It was not a lie or a dream, but he really applied medicine to me."
Yun Luan's head was stunned and he looked at his sister-in-law in disbelief. "Sister-in-law, you... can you stop thinking about it? Didn't Xiaofen say that she applied the medicine on your back?"
Dong Ke was a little excited, and her eyes gradually filled with tears. She shook her head at Yun Luan and said in a hoarse voice, "No, it's not like that. Later, Xiaofen said that she did apply medicine to me, but she After applying the ointment, I clearly remembered that I put the ointment in the first drawer of the dressing table."
"But when she looked for it again, there was no drawer on the first floor. She pulled out the second drawer and found it in the medicine box. She thought she had remembered it wrong at the time. But I, more and more The more I think about it, the weirder it becomes... In the past, the only person who used to put medicine bottles in the second drawer was your eldest brother."
"Like Xiaofen, I am used to putting medicines in the first drawer."
The more Yun Luan listened, the more frightened she felt. She endured the excitement and replied: "Did Xiaofen remember it wrong? Or did she forget to put it on the second floor?"
Dong Ke couldn't accept that Xiaofen's memory was wrong, and she kept shaking her head. "No, Xiaofen remembered it correctly. She must have put the ointment on the first layer. It must be that your elder brother came back and applied it to me again." After applying ointment once, I habitually put the ointment on the second layer."
"It must be like this. I have been thinking about it these past few days. And Xiaosi, you don't know, these past few days, when I was sleeping at night, I always felt that he was back in my mind. around."
"I can vaguely feel his breath, that's the smell of your elder brother... But whenever that time comes, my eyelids feel heavy and I can't open them. It's like I've been in a nightmare... But That feeling is so real.”
Yun Luan didn't say she believed it or didn't believe it. She thought about it and comforted her sister-in-law in a gentle voice: "Sister-in-law, this matter is too bizarre and we are not completely sure yet. Give me some time and I will help you properly. Check..." She wondered if she should find two black feather guards to guard outside the sister-in-law's room day and night to see if anyone would really come to see the sister-in-law late at night? Dong Ke Jianyun Luan didn't say that she was having wild thoughts and was suffering from hysteria. She raised her lips happily and smiled: "Xiaosi, I knew you would believe me. In this world, apart from your eldest brother, you are the best."
Yun Luan said some more comforting words to her, coaxed her to drink some medicine, and watched her fall asleep again before she got up and left. After walking out of the inner room, she called Xiao Fen outside the hospital. She told her what her sister-in-law said. , and narrated it to Xiaofen in detail. Xiaofen frowned slightly after listening to it. She was a little confused and scratched the back of her head. "Miss, I really can't remember clearly. I put the ointment on Which layer? In the past, the young lady and I used to put the ointment on the first layer. But occasionally, I would also put it on the second layer."
"In the past few days, the young lady has focused on this point and asked this slave countless times. I don't know how to answer her. If I deny it, the young lady will be anxious and sad."
Yun Luan pondered for a long time, and then whispered to Xiao Fen: "If my sister-in-law asks you this kind of question again in the future, just follow her answer and don't go against her again or deliberately irritate her."
"Her illness is a heart disease. If we tell her the cruel truth frequently, she may never get better. Maybe we can tell some white lies to help her condition get better."
Xiaofen was very moved after hearing this. Her eyes turned red. Without saying a word, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yun Luan. "County Master, you are really too kind to my wife. Everyone told her that that was not the case." Really, those are her random thoughts. Only you are willing to believe her...Only you know how to follow her emotions and do something to make her happy."
She was a married woman from the Dong family. She had been with the young lady for more than 20 years. Except for the eldest young master, no one was as kind to her wife as Yun Luan. Yun Luan was a little helpless, she He leaned over and helped Xiaofen up. "Silly girl, she is my sister-in-law and my closest family member. I should treat her as I should. When our general's mansion encountered such a big disaster, my sister-in-law never left her and stayed with her willingly. As a widow, I look after my eldest brother, and I have long regarded her as my closest family member."
Xiaofen sniffed and burst into tears. Yun Luan left here and immediately ordered a few black feather guards to guard around the courtyard and secretly monitor them day and night. The idea that his eldest brother was not dead gradually began to grow in Yun Luan's mind. A bud sprouted in my heart. - Yun Luan led everyone from the General's Mansion to attend Princess Jiarong's banquet in their best attire. When the carriage from the General's Mansion stopped at the entrance of the Princess' Mansion, the originally noisy surroundings suddenly fell silent. Everyone's gazes, Everyone looked at the carriage of the General's Mansion. Yun Luan got out of the carriage first. She was wearing a navy blue dress of soft smoked fabric embroidered with white magnolia flowers, and a moon-white fox fur trimmed with gold thread. The cloak and white fox plush set against her beautiful cheeks, making her skin look like snow, making her look stunning. Although the clothes are light and elegant, she is as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth, with a cold and noble temperament, directly overpowering others, and dressed up in a gorgeous way. Yun Luan was a colorful Kyoto noblewoman. Ignoring those attentive glances, Yun Luan went straight to the carriage in which Mrs. Liu was riding. She stood in front of the carriage, opened the curtain, and helped Mrs. Liu out of the carriage. Mrs. Liu was also dressed very well. Simple and elegant, simple and elegant without losing the nobility... She is obviously in her forties. But she still has charm and is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes away. Yun Luan mostly inherited Liu's appearance. Mother and daughter The person who stood at the door directly attracted the attention of countless people. Xiao Wuyunhuai came here on horseback. He was wearing extremely smart clothes. Although his body was a little immature, his eyes were shining. A shocking light. Someone in the crowd couldn't help but admire: "The people in the General's Mansion are all of excellent temperament. The general's wife will not say anything, but looking at the fifth young master, it seems that he has completely transformed. I estimate that in five or six years, he will definitely become a great general as brave and powerful as General Zhenguo."
"Yes, this fifth young master is a good young man. He is so young and he actually rode here by himself. Looking at him, it seems that riding a horse and shooting arrows is a very common thing. After all, he is the young master of the General's Mansion..." At this time, people The comments about the General's Mansion were all positive and objective. Yun Luan's tightly held heart became a little more relaxed. At this moment, Yun Feng helped Chen Yonghe get out of the carriage. Chen Yonghe leaned against Yun Feng, looking very happy. Quiet, the little bird clings to her. Yun Feng's palms hugged her slender waist, and he slightly unfolded his cloak, blocking most of the cold wind for his wife. Everyone's eyes shifted to Yun Feng. They continued He muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you say that the Second Young Master has broken an arm? How can I see that his arm is normal?"
"You don't know this, right? Although the arm is reattached, it looks normal on the outside and can be used in daily activities just like ordinary people. But he can no longer hold a sword or practice martial arts."
"Tsk, tsk, what a pity. Our Southern Reserve has lost a general..." "It's really a pity that the eldest son of the general's palace... Such a young and talented man has no body left... ugh, what a crime. "
Suddenly, a different voice came out. "Tsk, what a pity... There are so many soldiers in Nanchu, and they are not the only ones who can protect the country. Just wait, from now on, those who will guard the territory will This matter has nothing to do with their general’s mansion anymore.”
"The glory of the General's Mansion has finally disappeared. Now it looks the same as before. Those are all military achievements accumulated before taking over the Zhenguo General. Once a war breaks out on the border and a new general appears, the Zhenguo The General's Mansion can no longer allow them to live in the Yun family."
"The Yun family has lived in the Zhenguo General's Mansion for a hundred years. It's time to make room for new people to move in. Oh, the Yun family's sons are dead and useless. They are so young that they don't deserve to live anymore. After entering the General's Mansion, you are no longer worthy of enjoying the treatment of the General's Mansion."
Yun Luan's gaze faintly swept towards that person. He was a tall man with a stern face and several scars on his face. His eyes flashed with disdain... Yun Luan narrowed her eyes slightly, she had seen this before. This man's name is He Zong, a new martial arts champion with outstanding martial arts. He has just entered the court. The emperor valued his ability and made him the deputy commander of the patrol battalion. He has always harbored lofty revenge and vowed to Become a great general who protects his family and country. In his previous life, Hezong was under the name of Xiao Xuanrui and was his strongest right-hand man. Counting time, in this life, Xiao Xuanrui may not have the chance to take Hezong under his command. He Zong noticed Yun Luan's gaze, and he didn't feel the slightest panic or guilty. He straightened his chest, raised his head openly, and looked at Yun Luan. "What? Isn't the county master very dissatisfied with what I said? ?”
"County Lord, don't be angry. What I tell is the truth. I am just analyzing the facts. You should not be a narrow-minded person and care about me, right?"
Yun Luan chuckled lightly and replied word by word. "I am a woman..." He Zong frowned: "What do you want to say? What's wrong with the woman? Women don't let people tell the truth? The county master seems to be very reasonable. Yes, it turns out that her heart is no different from that of ordinary women."
There was a hint of coldness in Yun Luan's eyes. "I'm a woman, so I can't imitate the broad-mindedness of your men like prime ministers. Besides, I'm no different from other women. Don't hold me up so high." .I am just a narrow-minded and petty person."
"I also love to hold grudges and care about everything. It is said that only villains and women are difficult to raise. Why didn't Deputy Battalion Commander He understand this truth? The cynicism you just made about the general's house made me very happy. "I'm uncomfortable. I am a person who will retaliate most and cannot bear any grievance. Since you dare to provoke me, if I don't do something, I'm afraid you will think that I am afraid of you..." He Zong Yi heard that Yun Luan's words were not quite right. His expression suddenly changed. "What do you mean?"
Yun Luan snorted coldly and turned to look at Heiyi: "According to the law, is he, a small deputy battalion commander, qualified to mock the general's palace, the Taiping County Lord, and the future Princess Yan?"
Black Wing held the sword and replied with a sneer on his lips. "Back to the county master, he is naturally not qualified. What he did just now was to deliberately provoke the general's palace, deliberately find trouble and deliberately humiliate the general's palace. "
Hezong's face turned pale, and he subconsciously wanted to refute. Unexpectedly, a stone was thrown from nowhere and hit his knees. With a pop, his legs softened and he fell straight to his knees. On the ground, everyone's eyes were filled with a bit of surprise. After everyone reacted, they all sneered. "Is this Hezong scared? He's kneeling so fast..." "You're really brave, actually. Dare to provoke the General's Mansion. Putting aside the identity of Taiping County Lord, the mere fact that she is the future Princess Banquet is enough for him to drink a pot."
"A reckless man who only possesses martial arts skills has no brains at all."
"Fortunately, he knelt down quickly, otherwise when the Banquet King came, it would be more than just asking him to kneel down."
