Because Chu Ling wanted to rest in the house, Shi Chunquin chose to meet Ji Xiaoman in the study.
She had obviously heard about Chu Xiu, and she was at a loss when she saw the Spring Equinox, "Second Master... How is Second Master doing?"
Shi Chunfen sighed and said frankly: "The injury is very serious. The specific situation may not be clear until treatment."
Ji Xiaoman was frightened and cried on the spot, "How could this happen?" She grabbed Shi Chunfen's hand suddenly, "You didn't confess me, did you?"
Seeing the other party looking at her meaningfully, she couldn't help but explain: "I didn't mean not to show up, it's just that I met a group of people fighting on the way to the tea house, and the carriage was blocked on that street. It took an hour to pass, and I even thought about getting off the carriage and running over, but at that time I was blind, so I really didn’t dare to get off the carriage.”
She cried while talking, and Shi Chunquin felt sympathy for her.
Of course she knew that Ji Xiaoman didn't intentionally break the appointment, because she asked Lu Tao to find the group of people who were fighting. It was ironic that when she stopped Ji Xiaoman, she also blocked her own life.
But in front of Ji Xiaoman, she couldn't show anything. She could only nod lightly, "The coachman has told me about you being blocked. I believe this matter has nothing to do with you."
Ji Xiaoman gradually stopped crying, but still kept sobbing, "Who on earth wants to harm you and the second master? How can they be so bad?"
Shi Chunfen's eyes dimmed and he smiled bitterly: "I don't know either."
She looked at Ji Xiaoman and comforted: "Don't worry, I didn't tell my grandma and the others about your date with the second master. I hope you can keep it secret and pretend that nothing happened, so as not to make the whole thing more complicated." .”
Ji Xiaoman nodded quickly, "I understand."
Shi Chunfen took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Now that the matter is over, even if the second master wakes up, it will be difficult for me to arrange for you to meet him again, so you have to make other plans for your marriage. .”
Seeing that she was quite candid, Ji Xiaoman nodded quickly, "I understand."
Now that Chu Xiu was injured like this, it was a good thing that Shi Chunquin had not confessed her. How could she dare to ask for help in settling her marriage?
The two chatted for a while, and when Ji Xiaoman's mood gradually calmed down, someone was sent to send her back at the Spring Equinox.
After Ji Xiaoman left, she returned to the house at the Spring Equinox. At this time, Chu Ling had already gone to bed. She washed herself quietly and then climbed into bed carefully. She thought Chu Ling might not have heard her, but who knew? As soon as she lay down, the other party reached out and pulled her into his arms, "Why did you stay here for so long?"
It turned out that he had not fallen asleep at all and had been waiting for the spring equinox to come back.
Shi Chunquin leaned on his chest, and could clearly hear Chu Ling's heartbeat in the silent night, one after another, strong and powerful, which calmed all the uneasiness in her heart. She hugged him tightly and said frankly: "Xiaoman was very worried about the second master, so I comforted her a few more words."
In fact, it wasn't just her. Shi Chunfen herself was extremely worried, not knowing what Chu Xiu's final outcome would be.
But she was not qualified to wait in Chu Xiu's yard, because the old lady and the head of Huating County must not want to see her at the moment. If she rushed over hastily, it would only cause trouble for them.
Chu Ling obviously knew this very well, so he chose to stay with her.
The two hugged each other quietly, and no one spoke anymore. But from each other's breathing rate, they both knew that the other had difficulty sleeping, but they would not disturb each other, because at this juncture, any words of comfort were redundant.
Only when the news came that Chu Xiu had turned the danger into safety, the two of them could put their minds at ease.
The two of them lay in bed like this all night. When dawn was approaching and there was no bad news coming from outside the house, they felt a little more at ease and gradually fell asleep.
After falling asleep at the Spring Equinox, Chu Ling, who had been pretending to be breathing steadily, suddenly opened his eyes and tiptoed out of bed.
He knew that if he didn't fall asleep, Shi Chun Equinox wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully, so he pretended to be asleep to lie to her. Unexpectedly, he actually lied to her.
He walked out of the house. The person on duty today was Li Yan. When she saw him coming out, she subconsciously opened her mouth to shout, but was stopped by his silent gesture, "Young mistress just fell asleep. You continue to guard here and be careful not to disturb her rest."
"
Li Yan nodded quickly and stood still, watching Chu Ling leave the yard.
At this time, it was not completely dawn, so Chu Ling went straight to Chu Xiu's yard to see how he was doing. As soon as he walked to the door of the yard, he heard the sound of a woman sobbing from inside, which made his heart sink.
He quickened his pace and entered the yard. When he saw Wang Jixue and Jiang Ya holding each other's arms and crying in the yard, he couldn't help but frown, "Why are you two crying here? What happened to the second brother?"
Only then did the two of them notice his arrival, and hurriedly let go of each other, "Sir...sir."
Chu Ling waved his hand impatiently, indicating that they didn't need to say anything and quickly answered his questions.
Wang Jixue was very excited and couldn't calm down for a while, so Jiang Ya answered on her behalf: "Second Master's injury is very serious. Although the bleeding has been barely stopped, the wound is inflamed, causing his whole body to have a high fever, and his five internal organs have started to
If the condition does not improve, his life will be in danger at any time."
"What?!" Chu Ling suddenly raised his voice, "Isn't it not so serious last night?"
Jiang Ya smiled bitterly, "The less serious the injury looks on the surface, the more complicated the treatment is. Er Ye has multiple fractures on his body and varying degrees of bleeding in his internal organs. With Dr. Li's level, they can only try
For conservative treatment, the head of Huating County has sent people to the capital to ask for an imperial doctor, but whether the second master can persist until the imperial doctor arrives is the biggest problem at the moment."
After hearing what she said, Chu Ling fell silent and his face became even more ugly.
What does it mean that you may not be able to survive until the royal doctor arrives?
Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu, aren't you always the strongest?
How could it be so useless at a critical moment?
Wang Jixue just stopped crying. After listening to what Jiang Ya said, she couldn't help crying again, "How did things become like this? The second master was fine when he went out yesterday, so why did he lie on the bed when he came back?"
Who is so cruel that he wants to kill the second master?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Ling turned around suddenly and walked out angrily.
Seeing this, Jiang Ya quickly gave Wang Jixue a few words and then chased after him.
"Uncle, are you going to find out who is behind the frame-up of the second master and the eldest mistress? I have some clues here, maybe I can help you..."
