5. Chapter 5 The crisis in the Song Mansion
"This is a matter between adults and has nothing to do with you. You are still young and these matters are not your responsibility. Also, no matter what, the head of the family is your grandfather. You cannot be rude, do you understand?"
"Since Mom wants to kneel down, then Xue'er should accompany her. If Mom doesn't drink water, Xue'er won't drink water either. If mom doesn't eat, Xue'er won't eat either." Qiao Zi couldn't be persuaded to leave, so she made her drink water on a hot day.
He refused to drink and asked her to go to a shady place. Ruixue had no choice but to resort to cruel tricks and kneel outside the study door with her mother.
"Xue'er!" Qiao Zi looked at her daughter in shock, but her daughter's stubborn look showed that she would not leave easily.
"Mother, don't talk to me. It has nothing to do with me kneeling here," Ruixue said angrily.
Qiao Zi looked at her daughter's awkward look, knowing that she felt sorry for her but had no choice but to use this method to make herself feel sorry for herself, hoping that she could leave, but she couldn't leave.
After a while, Qiao Zi helplessly reached out and took Ruixue's hand, "Good boy, mother knows that you love me, and you are a good daughter."
Ruixue moved her lips, but seeing that she had no intention of getting up, she had no choice but to continue kneeling, looking back at the girl standing next to her, "Cui Zhu, why don't you come over and hold an umbrella for Madam."
"Yes, Miss Third." Cuizhu quickly ran over with an umbrella.
Even Song Fanhua, a grown man, couldn't hold up under the scorching sun, let alone the injured Qiao Zi and the ten-year-old child. In less than an hour, Ruixue's clothes were soaked through and her legs felt extremely uncomfortable.
, the sweat on her face flowed down in large drops, and she looked sideways at Qiao Zi. Her face was pale, sweating like rain, and her back was already soaked. Thinking of Qiao Zi's back injury, Ruixue became anxious, "Mom
, let’s go back, and when your back is healed, we’ll ask Grandpa to take back his decision, okay? If your clothes stick to your back again, you’ll have to pull them off again, won’t you feel pain?”
Hearing what her daughter said, Qiao Zi's eyes shrank. She didn't want to experience the pain of tearing off her clothes today again. However, the head of the family hadn't taken back her life yet, so she couldn't leave.
"Madam, why don't you let Cuizhu kneel on your behalf? You are weak. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the second young master, the eldest son and the third young lady."
Qiao Zi has been treating her servants well since she entered the Song Dynasty. When news of the marriage came out, many servants felt sorry for Qiao Zi. Seeing her like this, the girl Cuizhu couldn't stand it anymore and offered to help her.
"Yes, mother, please go back. If something happens to you, what will my brother, my father, and I do? It's the same thing if I kneel here for you." Ruixue also took this opportunity to persuade.
"I don't." After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Zi still insisted on her decision.
"Mom..." Ruixue looked at Qiao Zi helplessly. Aren't women in ancient times very gentle? Where did Qiao Zi's stubbornness come from?
Although Qiao Zi was unwilling to leave, under the persuasion of Ruixue and Cuizhu, considering her young daughter, she finally moved to a shady place under the eaves to kneel.
Without the direct sunlight, Ruixue suddenly felt much more comfortable. Cuizhu brought tea in time. No matter how Ruixue begged Qiao Zi, she refused to take a sip of water. Ruixue had no choice but to continue to be thirsty.
Song Fanhua fainted for two hours before waking up. When he woke up, he learned that Qiao Zi and Ruixue had gone to the study door and knelt down. He didn't care about rest and ran to the study quickly, "Zi'er, your injury is not healed."
, how can you come out, go back quickly."
"Brother Hua, I can't let you work hard alone, I also want to beg my father together." Qiao Zi smiled weakly.
"Xue'er?" Song Fanhua looked at Ruixue who was kneeling next to her.
Ruixue sighed helplessly, "My mother refused to get up, so I had no choice but to stay with her."
"I'll accompany you." Song Fanhua's eyes were slightly hot, and finally he knelt gently outside the study door.
After kneeling like this, she knelt again at night. Song Yu had been in the study all day today. The housekeeper and the servants came in and out. She couldn't bear to see the people kneeling outside the study. It was time to rest in the evening. Housekeeper Zhao looked at
Looking at Song Yu, he reminded carefully, "Master, Master, they are still kneeling outside."
"You don't need to tell me, I know." Song Yu said calmly.
"Then look..."
"Didn't the traitor say that if I don't agree, he won't get up for a day? In this case, let him kneel all the time." Song Yu said calmly.
Butler Zhao opened his mouth when he heard this, but in the end he could only retreat, "Master, I'll go down first."
"Go ahead."
Butler Zhao came out of the study and looked at the three people kneeling under the eaves. A trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes. He hesitated and walked over, "Master is going to rest. Master, Madam, and Miss Third, please go back."
"I won't go back." Song Fanhua raised his head and looked at Butler Zhao stubbornly. He knew that Butler Zhao was deeply respected by his father, "Butler Zhao, please help me talk to my father."
"Young master, you're welcome. I've already begged him for mercy, but he is determined to marry into the Ma family. I can't persuade him. Master, don't worry about your own body.
The master has already negotiated terms with the Ma family. It is impossible to change them. Instead of doing this, it is better to think of other ways. Kneeling like this is useless. And even if you don't consider your own body, you must also consider your wife and your family.
Third lady’s body.”
Butler Zhao's words were very pertinent. Song Fanhua's originally firm heart began to hesitate. If his father was determined to get married, he would have to think of other ways. At this moment, Qiao Zi, who had been insisting, finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Suddenly, her body fell forward. Ruixue was the first to notice that something was wrong, and reached out to pull Qiao Zi, but she fell to the ground weakly along with her.
"Zi'er, Xue'er!" Song Fanhua was shocked.
"Master, don't worry, the madam and the third lady must have been kneeling for a long time and cannot hold up anymore." When something happened, Butler Zhao seemed relatively calm and quickly called a few servants to lift Qiao Zi and Ruixue who had fainted.
go back.
Qiao Zi was born in a tenant family and grew up doing housework. She was originally in good health. However, after marrying Song Fanhua, she was carefully cared for by Song Fanhua. For ten years, she was pampered and pampered. She was no longer the same Qiao Zi as before. This time, family law was enforced first. She was worried about Ruixue.
He ignored his wounds and only recovered for one day. When he learned that Song Fanhua was kneeling and fainting at the door of the study, he ignored his injuries and ran to kneel to beg for mercy. After he fainted at the door of the study and was carried back, he developed a high fever.
This era is not like modern times. If you have a high fever, you can just take medicine or get an injection. In this era, medical skills are still very poor, especially for patients with fever. Once they cannot recover, they will easily burn to death or die. Therefore, patients with fever
It has always been a headache for doctors, and it is also a problem that everyone is afraid of encountering.
