Chapter 42 He is a little concerned about this girl Xie
"Mother."
Mrs. Rong Guogong wore a green double-breasted gown with white camellias embroidered on it. She only wore three jade hairpins to fix her hair in a bun. Although she was dressed simply, her magnanimity did not diminish at all.
She is already in her fifties and is no longer young, but her face is still well maintained. She looks like she is in her early forties, and her eyes are particularly sharp.
"I heard that you rescued a girl in the lake?" Mrs. Rong Guogong glanced at the side hall across the screen, where the female doctor was taking her pulse.
Rong Ci nodded: "It is true."
Mrs. Rong Guogong frowned: "Why would someone come to your side?"
She thought to herself, there must be someone plotting against her son. If she knew that he had ulterior motives and wanted him to look good, how could the son of the Rong family allow others to plot against him?
"I don't know." Rong Ci came forward and helped her mother sit down.
Mrs. Rong Guogong snorted coldly: "Could someone be plotting against you?"
"This shouldn't be the case." Rong Ci was afraid that his mother would blame the girl, so he had to explain, "To be honest with my mother, I have seen the person inside, and it is none other than a girl from the Xie family."
"Oh? A girl from the Xie family?" Mrs. Rong Guogong paused slightly, remembering that when her eldest son asked the three boys from the Xie family to take Rong Ci out to play, he had seen a girl from the Xie family, and it was not surprising.
The Xie family attaches great importance to character. Even if they want to discuss marriage, they will come to the door in an upright manner. Logically speaking, they would not do such a thing that would destroy the girl's innocence.
"Which girl from the Xie family?"
"Xie Yu calls her little aunt, and she has been living in Changning Marquis Mansion."
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Rong Guogong knew who it was: "Is she the daughter of Xie Qingshan and Xie Wulang?"
When Xie Qingshan was still alive, he was still extremely famous in the Imperial City. His poetry and painting were particularly good, and he was known as "Xie Wulang, the best in poetry and painting", but it was a pity that his life was short-lived.
"It's him."
Mrs. Rong Guogong frowned: "I heard that the girl has been in poor health for a long time. Why does she appear here? Or was she fished out of the water?"
The nanny beside her whispered: "In the past few days, the Madam of the Changning Marquis Mansion and her family members have been listening to sutras and praying in the temple. This Miss Xie should have been with the Madam."
Rong Ci said: "As for why she fell into the water, please ask mother to send someone to investigate. Her body is so weak. The person who made her fall into the water may not want her life."
Mrs. Rong Guogong felt a little cold after hearing his words, but she was slightly surprised. Her son had been kept in the temple to cultivate his character for a long time, and he had developed a cold temperament. He never cared about other people's affairs.
Logically speaking, even if he rescued the person, he would only hand him over to her and then ignore him. Now he actually asked her to help find out the reason. He obviously wanted to feel unfair for the other party.
He is quite fond of this girl Xie.
Mrs. Rong Guogong was about to ask a few more questions. At this moment, the female doctor finished diagnosing the pulse and came out of the side hall. Seeing the two people sitting there, she came forward and saluted: "Madam, Ninth Young Master."
Mrs. Rong Guogong asked her: "How is Miss Xie?"
The female doctor said: "That girl was already weak, and now she fell into the water. She will definitely have a fever at night. I don't know if her body can withstand it."
Mrs. Rong Guogong was a little worried when she heard this: "Then what are you waiting for? Give her some medicine."
The female doctor hesitated and said: "That girl must have been ill for a few days, and her foundation is severely deficient. Originally, it would take a year and a half to recover slowly. Now that I am prescribing medicine for her, I don't know whether it should be heavier or lighter."
?”
A stronger medicine will naturally be better, but I am afraid that her body will not be able to withstand the medicine. But if the medicine is not effective enough, if her fever continues, even if it subsides, she may not be able to burn out her body.
And she stayed in the water for who knows how long.
Mrs. Rong Guogong frowned, hesitated, and turned to ask Rong Ci: "If not, send someone to ask Mrs. Changning Hou?"
Rong Ci frowned slightly: "We still don't know who wants to harm her. If it has nothing to do with the Changning Marquis Mansion, that's all. If it is related, when Mrs. Changning Marquis takes her back, she might be given a second chance.
"
"The madam is trustworthy, but it's hard to tell for others. When the time comes, the madam will not be able to protect her."
Mrs. Rong Guogong was also a little hesitant when she heard this. She was not a cruel person. She was a little girl after all. She had seen it and she couldn't let others hurt her in vain.
"What should that be?"
Rong Ci said: "Give her medicine. I will write a letter tomorrow to tell Xie Yu about this, and let the Xie family handle it then."
"Okay, give her some medicine." Mrs. Rong Guogong nodded, and then urged Rong Ci to change out of her clothes.
Before she left, she went to the side hall to take a look at Xie Yixiao.
The little girl was lying on the quilt. She was thin and frail, and her face was pale and pale, as if she could break with a gentle squeeze. It was really distressing to see her.
Mrs. Rong Guogong sighed and told her maid to take good care of her. Then she turned around and sent someone to find out what was going on. It was about half an hour before the people sent out came back.
"The Changning Marquis Mansion is in chaos. Miss Xie is missing, but her two maids have been rescued. Those two people said that the second girl in the house invited Miss Xie to see the lotus lantern, and then they were ambushed.
.”
"Miss Xie and one of the maids jumped into the river and escaped. Miss Xie went downstream, and her maid led the people upstream. They happened to meet a monk coming back and rescued the people."
"At this moment, someone is looking for someone in the river. I heard that the gangster was also caught by the monks in the temple and is now in custody. He is a bastard who has done all kinds of bad things in the nearby villages."
"Fortunately, Miss Xie ran away. If she fell into the hands of these people, there would be no good ending."
Mrs. Rong Guogong looked ugly: "What's going on at the Changning Marquis Mansion?"
The visitor said: "The person who went to ask Miss Xie to come out was the maid next to the second girl of the Changning Marquis Mansion. When the maid was arrested, she cried and begged for mercy, saying that the second girl asked her to do this."
"They also said that the second girl was jealous of Miss Xie being favored by Mrs. Changning Houfu, and wanted to eradicate her and eliminate future troubles forever."
"There have been rumors in the past two days that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changning suddenly fell seriously ill, and that the second girl is about to marry into the Marquis of Wu'an as the eldest daughter's wife."
"The maid said that the second girl was afraid that Miss Xie would steal her marriage, so she took advantage of her, intending to destroy Miss Xie."
Mrs. Rong Guogong snorted coldly: "What a vicious method."
The visitor was a little hesitant: "I think this matter may be a bit fishy. The second girl..."
Duke Rongguo said: "It's not her fault, it's the plan of the girls in the house. They just want to kill two birds with one stone. If they are jealous of Miss Xie, they will ruin her happiness."
"But the second girl from the Changning Marquis Mansion is really stupid. Her personal maid could betray her one day, and even bite her, leaving her unable to defend herself."
"Let's see who dares to be friends with her in the future."
