The officers and soldiers were so frightened that they cheered up after being attacked by the Lord of Huating County, and escorted Chu Quan out.
Xue Jinxiu and Qian Ling'er tried to stop them again, but Chu Ling sent people to block them back.
Chu Shun even used the knife, but still could not save his son. At this moment, he was completely disheartened and collapsed on the ground speechless for a long time.
After finally waiting for the officers and soldiers to escort him away, the head of Huating County glanced at everyone present and said coldly: "At least your son can still walk to the Yamen alive, but it is not certain whether my son can survive tonight safely.
, if you want me to spare your son, then who will spare my son?"
After these words were spoken, everyone in the second room fell silent, and there were only intermittent sobbing.
The mayor of Huating County was no longer able to entangle with them, and she was still anxious to go back to see her Xiu'er. The moment she turned around, the Spring Equinox appeared at the right time, stretched out his hand to support her, and said, "Mother, I will accompany you back."
The head of Huating County glanced at her. He probably didn't have the energy to get angry. He finally didn't shake her hand away and nodded slightly, "Yes."
Shi Chunfen helped the head of Huating County to leave, and did not forget to give Chu Ling an encouraging look before leaving. He probably had to go to the Yamen to settle Chu Quan, so he could not go with them to see Chu Xiu, but Shi Chun knew in his heart that
He was more worried about Chu Xiu's safety than anyone else, so he could only use this look to hope to give him some support.
Chu Ling felt her gaze and twitched his lips at her. He spent a whole day running around just to give Chu Xiu justice.
Now that justice is about to be achieved, Chu Xiu's life or death is uncertain. He feels empty and terrified like never before.
He once promised to save Chu Xiu's life no matter how much money he spent on the vernal equinox, but how could the word "human life" be bought with money?
Shi Chunfen helped Huating County Master back to Chu Xiu's room. Not long after, the old lady and others arrived. Although she was extremely tired, she still chose to let Chu Qian and Aunt Liu help her here because she was too worried about Chu Xiu.
.
"How is Ah Xiu?" The old lady asked about Chu Xiu's injury as soon as she entered the door.
Because she had just spoken to Chu Shun, the head of Huating County looked down upon her at this moment. "The doctor said that his fever is getting worse. If the fever can't be cured, I'm afraid the gods will not be able to cure it."
"What?!" The old lady's vision went dark and she almost fainted.
Fortunately, Chu Qian and Aunt Liu brought medicated oil with them and applied it on her immediately, and managed to stabilize her body.
But even so, she was still a little unable to stand. She had to be helped to sit down on the couch before she had the strength to speak, "I don't know what evil our Chu family has done. There is such a thing as fratricide. What if?"
What's wrong with Hugh? After I die in the future, how can I have the face to see the old man under the Nine Springs?!"
Seeing her beating her chest and feeling extremely sad, the Huating County Lord's expression softened and he said coldly: "Don't worry, Axiu will be fine."
He is her son, and with her sitting here, who dares to take Chu Xiu's life?
The old lady cried for a while, gradually calmed down, and looked up at the head of Huating County, "Since I have tried all the remedies and still can't save Ah Xiu, why not use superstitious methods, maybe I can save Ah Xiu's life?"
"Superstitious method?" The head of Huating County frowned.
"What do you think about it?" the old lady suggested.
The Lord of Huating County fell silent and did not speak for a long time.
After all, she is also a princess of the same country, so it is a bit ridiculous to have to use happiness to save her son's life.
The old lady also knew that this method didn't sound very reliable, so she couldn't help but sigh, "It would be best if there were other ways to save Ah Xiu, but since there is no other way now, why not try this method? Anyway, he
You have already stepped into the coffin with one foot, do you still care about losing face?"
Lord Huating's lips moved but still did not speak.
The old lady looked at the other people in the room and asked, "What do you think?"
Chu Qian naturally didn't dare to speak. She always followed Aunt Liu's lead.
Aunt Liu was silent for a while, then nodded quickly, "I think it might as well give it a try."
A person is about to die, so naturally he can use any method. Do you really wait for the person to die before arranging a ghost marriage?
Shi Chunquin hesitated for a moment and then said, "There's no harm in giving it a try."
She was brought up by the nuns in the mansion, and most of those nuns came from the old lady's side. They were immersed in it, and each one was more superstitious than the other. This is why Shi Chunfen firmly believes that copying scriptures can help Chu.
The reason for Xio is that her little head is actually no different from the old lady's thinking.
The Lord of Huating County was in the royal family. Although he was not as superstitious as the old ladies and others, he still believed in Buddhism. After being repeatedly persuaded by them, he soon became shaken and said coldly: "If you are happy, where can I find a bride now?"
In normal times, there would naturally be a large group of people rushing to marry Chu Xiu, but now he is half-dead, and he doesn't know if he can survive the wedding night. I'm afraid no one will be willing to marry him again.
Aunt Liu quickly interjected, "Why don't you use hens to pray?"
Countryside people are superstitious but can't find a wife, so many people use hens instead, hoping to ward off disasters.
After hearing this, the head of Huating County turned green with anger, "Are you crazy? The second young master of the Chu family is worshiping Hen Ji. If Xiu'er wakes up, how can he have the face to see people in the future?"
"It's not appropriate." The old lady also objected: "Although Ah Xiu is dying, he has not fallen to this point. In my opinion, it is better to search among the maids in the house to see if any of them are willing to work with Ah Xiu.
Xiu worships the church. If Xiu survives and they fly on the branches and become phoenixes, I think there will be many people willing."
"No, no, no!" The head of Huating County was still dissatisfied: "Xiu'er is going to be engaged to the daughter of the governor of Shuzhou. How can he just marry a maid and come back as his wife? Wouldn't that give her an advantage?"
The old lady looked helpless, "How long has it been and you are still thinking about the daughter of the governor of Shuzhou? Don't say it is impossible for her to marry Axiu at this time. Even if she is willing, she will not be able to come in time."
"Then... Then let Xiu'er take a concubine, isn't it also a joy?" the head of Huating County said anxiously.
"That won't work." Aunt Liu took the opportunity to say: "As far as I know, sincerity is required when celebrating a wedding. How can concubinage reflect the sincerity of our Chu family? If we can't deceive the Bodhisattva, we will still have to take away the second master's life.
, wouldn’t it be like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain?”
"Bah, bah, bah!" The head of Huating County became angry, "Are you deliberately trying to curse my son? Ah Xiu, he is usually so strong and strong, how can something happen to him so easily?"
