The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 115 115 Tear (Second update)

Chu Lingxiao was furious and wanted to hit her again, but when his eyes passed over the pair of scissors stuck on the cylinder, his expression was a little weak.

Chu Lingxiao's eyes flickered uncertainly.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Chu Qianchen, do you think I can't do anything to you?"

"According to the laws of this dynasty, a father is not guilty of killing his son. If you are disobedient and unfilial, even if I kill you with my own hands, it will be fine. No one can accuse me of anything wrong."

Chu Lingxiao did not hesitate to bring out the laws of the dynasty to scare Chu Qianchen, thinking that Chu Qianchen would be afraid and give in.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, as if he had heard some joke, with a touch of teasing on his face.

"Father, if you are not afraid that you will be punished and that the Yongding Marquis Mansion will be deprived of your title, then go ahead and do it." She did not hide the provocation and determination in her words. She was sure that Chu Lingxiao could not do anything to her at all. !

"Anyway, you didn't have the idea of ​​killing me just now. Didn't you want me to die suddenly from the beginning so that the Hou Mansion can get rid of the trouble of Prince Chen?"

Regardless of the presence of the second housekeeper and others around him, Chu Qianchen directly lifted Chu Lingxiao's fig leaf.

The second housekeeper and others lowered their heads.

The fact that the Marquis wanted the second girl to die suddenly was revealed by the eldest master yesterday, and it was widely spread in the Marquis Mansion, and many servants knew it.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chu Lingxiao's eyes widened and he blurted out without thinking.

Although he did think so in his heart, being exposed by his daughter in front of him still made him extremely embarrassed. He only felt that the eyes of others around him were very piercing.

Chu Lingxiao's face turned blue, purple, red, and red, and the colors changed wonderfully.

Seeing that the flower branches were almost cut, Chu Qianchen strolled into the pavilion. She chose a seat next to the stone table and sat down, then casually placed the pair of scissors on the stone table.

Amber quickly went to make tea for her, but neither the master nor the servant had any intention of asking Chu Lingxiao to sit down.

"You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not," Chu Qianchen continued methodically, "It's a pity that you made a wrong calculation."

"You think you are smart, and you think that you can cut off the relationship with Prince Chen's house by just giving up a concubine. How can a mere concubine be more important than the future of the prince's house? However, you think you are so self-righteous, but you have completely misunderstood the holy intention. "

Chu Qianchen sat there elegantly, with a leisurely expression, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were as bright as stars, calm and cold, as if they could see through the secrets in his heart.

She was obviously looking up at him from the bottom up, but Chu Lingxiao felt even more pressured. He felt that he seemed to have no place to hide in front of her, and felt that the way she looked at him was condescending and arrogant...

In a daze, Chu Lingxiao overlapped the girl in front of him with another person in his memory, his face as cold as ice.

The man's cold voice sounded in his ears, seemingly close yet far away: "If you want to do it, just go ahead. The choice you make will cost you your teeth even if you lose your teeth."

Chu Lingxiao's eyes widened even more, and red bloodshot streaks appeared on his eyeballs, which was extremely ferocious.

He whispered in a strange tone: "Do you think you know everything?"

At this moment, even he himself didn't know where he was, or whether he was speaking to Chu Qianchen or the person in his memory.

Chu Qianchen picked up the tea that Amber had just brewed, took a leisurely sip of tea, and talked and laughed calmly.

"Father, I am not that proud, nor am I that self-righteous. There are many things I don't know."

Her words sounded modest at first, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to mean that Chu Lingxiao was so proud and self-righteous.

The second housekeeper also heard it and his ears twitched.

What he saw and heard today had already shocked him.

He finally saw that the Marquis had nothing to do with the second girl, just like the Marquis had nothing to do with the First Lady, but after all, the First Lady had Duke Mu's mansion as her backer, while the second girl had nothing but herself.

But just like that, the second girl still played with the Marquis in the midst of applause.

What she said and her knowledge were far from what a girl under fourteen years old could have!

It's a pity that the second girl comes from a girl's family. The second housekeeper sighed inwardly. If she were a man, even if she could not inherit the title of Marquis of Yongding, she could still carve out a world for herself and help the Marquis's family.

The second housekeeper looked at the father and daughter in front of him who looked like enemies with complicated eyes, and suddenly felt that the Marquis might regret it.

Chu Qianchen smiled at Chu Lingxiao, and then said: "However, I don't know anything else about my daughter, but I can still figure out the holy will."

"The emperor's holy will is for me to marry into Prince Chen's Mansion as soon as possible, but father, you want to sever ties with Prince Chen's Mansion and try to disobey the holy will, but you have brought trouble to yourself."

Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Lingxiao up and down, and his smile turned mocking.

For a moment, Chu Lingxiao wondered if Chu Qianchen already knew that he was punished by the emperor's decree. His face was burning, and his fists were tightly together.

However, after hearing what Chu Qianchen said, Chu Lingxiao suddenly felt a little clearer.

He had never understood why the emperor had to be Chu Qianchen, but now that he put himself in the emperor's shoes, he suddenly understood.

The emperor decreed the marriage with the intention of humiliating King Chen.

King Chen was dissatisfied with the marriage and directly asked Chang Shi to resist the decree in the early morning court, which made the emperor lose face in front of the civil and military officials. However, the emperor could not do anything to King Chen. In fact, he could only retreat and agree to the next best thing. The wedding is delayed.

If he let Chu Qianchen die suddenly at this time, he would be dissatisfied with the marriage, resisting the decree, and imitating King Chen. In other words, in the eyes of the emperor, he was trying to please King Chen by killing Chu Qianchen. Not sure!

To put it bluntly, the emperor did not necessarily want Chu Qianchen to be Princess Chen. His fault was that he disobeyed the holy will, so the emperor was furious.

That's why the emperor issued an edict to punish himself.

He almost violated the emperor's taboo! The more Chu Lingxiao thought about it, the more frightened he became. His heart beat faster and faster, echoing in his ears like a drum. A large amount of cold sweat broke out behind him, soaking his middle clothes.

All the fears turned into joy in the end.

Fortunately, Chu Qianchen is still alive.

Otherwise, with the emperor's temper, he would probably vent all his grievances against King Chen to the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

Chu Qianchen watched the change in Chu Lingxiao's expression quietly, feeling even more sarcastic in his heart.

In her previous life, she thought that her father, Yingwei, was just a stupid person with no self-awareness. It was no wonder that the Yongding Marquis Mansion was deteriorating...

Seeing Chu Lingxiao finally "figured it out" and relieved, Chu Qianchen's lips curved into a sarcastic smile and said: "Father, you want me to die, why do you think I will still follow you obediently?" Going back?"

"..." Chu Lingxiao seemed to be pinched, and fell silent again.

He almost got angry again, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of the pair of scissors on the table, and felt a little embarrassed.

Chu Qianchen now has chicken feathers as arrows, and this marriage gift as Shang Fang's sword. In the current situation, even if Chu Qianchen stabbed him with scissors, he could not accuse her of disobedience and patricide. The emperor only thought that he was playing tricks to resist the order.

And if he accidentally hurts Chu Qianchen, he will still be the unlucky one!

Chu Qianchen is now like an imperial edict and cannot be touched, so he can only enshrine her.

Chu Lingxiao took several deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart.

He raised his hand and made a gesture to the second housekeeper. Knowing that the Marquis had something to say to the second girl privately, the second housekeeper quickly took the others away and retreated outside the courtyard.

Chu Lingxiao forced out a smile, straightened out his thoughts, and said kind words: "Sister Chen, my father also knows that this marriage has wronged you, but this marriage was not asked for by my father, but was given by the emperor. . My father also refused this marriage for you back then, but the emperor is stubborn and cannot disobey your orders. "

"It's not my father's intention to have you come to Zhuangzi to 'recuperate' this time. It's..." He paused and then continued, "This was actually your mother's idea." Anyway, Mrs. Shen is not here. , in order to coax Chu Qianchen back, he simply blamed Shen for everything.

Chu Qianchen was once again shocked by Chu Lingxiao's shamelessness, and said in a subtle tone: "Was it mother's idea?"

Hearing this in Chu Lingxiao's ears, he felt that Chu Qianchen's heart was shaken, and he felt happy in his heart.

Chu Lingxiao quickly said: "Yes. In fact, it was your mother who wanted you to die suddenly."

"Sister Chen, think about it, you were not born by your mother, how could she treat you sincerely?!"

"I was also wrong. I was afraid that the Chu family would offend the emperor, and I did have this thought, but..."

Chu Lingxiao sighed quietly and looked at Chu Qianchen with a sincere face, "But this morning, your aunt came to me to plead for mercy, so I came here in person."

"Sister Chen, blood is thicker than water, and you are almost a hairpin. You should find out who gave birth to you, and who will really treat you well."

He talked a lot, his expression was so loving and kind.

Chu Qianchen laughed angrily at his confusing words, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. It seems that her father really thinks she is a fool!

Chu Lingxiao showed a gentle smile and persuaded softly: "I'm here to take you back to the Marquis Mansion. Your aunt and your eldest brother are looking forward to your return." He acted like a loving father. , moved with emotion.

Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Lingxiao quietly, his pupils as deep as a cold pool, which made Chu Lingxiao feel uneasy and even his smile became forced.

He wanted to say more, but Chu Qianchen didn't want to listen anymore and only gave two words: "I won't leave."

Chu Lingxiao's fatherly mask almost couldn't be stretched anymore.

Chu Qianchen did not miss the annoyance in his eyes, and said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid that if I go back, my father will not be able to think about it, and you will want me to die suddenly again."

"I think it's better for me to stay in Zhuangzi."

"If a month later, Prince Chen's Mansion is going to welcome a bride, and if I am still alive, let them come here to welcome her."

Chu Qianchen's delicate and bright face was always smiling, making it difficult to tell whether she was telling the truth or just joking.

She picked up the scissors on the table again, playing with them and turning them casually between her fingers.

Her fingers were nimble and nimble, and she turned the scissors very fast, so fast that a shimmering shadow appeared, making Chu Lingxiao's scalp numb.

Chu Qianchen said with a smile: "Father, please come back."

Chu Lingxiao swallowed, fearing that the scissors would fall out of her fingers next moment...

He couldn't help but took half a step back and said dryly: "Then I'll go back first, and you can think about it carefully."

"Stop being so angry. There is no reason why a girl's family won't marry from her mother's family and must let the groom go to the village to pick her up. Isn't this a joke to outsiders?"

Chu Lingxiao spoke again, repeating the same words over and over again.

Seeing that Chu Qianchen was indifferent, he had no choice but to leave in despair.

Amber quickly saw off the guests for her girl.

As soon as Chu Lingxiao left, the second housekeeper, Yang Hezhuang's steward and others also followed. Soon, the yard became empty again.

Amber walked back to the pavilion, looked at her girl with admiration, and sighed: "Girl, you are so amazing!"

Even if the Marquis met his own girl, he would only be defeated in despair.

Amber had a feeling in her heart: For her own girl, the Marquis Mansion was dispensable. Even if the prince's mansion was really deprived of his title, the girl probably wouldn't raise an eyebrow.

The Marquis looks forward and backward, bullies the weak and fears the strong, but the girl is completely different from the Marquis. She has a calm and calm attitude that will not change even if the mountain collapses. It seems that no matter what happens, she can take it calmly and deal with it calmly.

Amber made tea for Chu Qianchen again and asked, "Girl, what should we do next?"

The girl is not really planning to get married from Zhuangzi, is she? Amber suddenly felt a little worried, this was too unfair to the girl.

"Someone will come to the Hou Mansion in a while, just wait." Chu Qianchen said with a smile.

Amber believed Chu Qianchen's words and asked curiously: "Girl, how do you know?"

Chu Qianchen slowly blew away the foam on the tea soup, "First the second housekeeper, and then my father. They are so anxious and insist on picking me up today. Naturally, someone has 'forced' them."

"Tomorrow is the Longevity Festival, and the emperor likes to put on airs. He must have announced that I would enter the palace to attend the Longevity Banquet, so my father had no choice but to come here to pick me up."

Chu Qianchen had known for a long time that she had lived in Zhuangzi not long ago. She originally expected that after the Wanshou Festival, the emperor would ask the clan to go to the palace to make a small decision. Send away" thing.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was more anxious than she thought.

Although Chu Lingxiao didn't say a word just now, Chu Qianchen had already guessed from his stiff movements and the faint smell of gold medicine that he was afraid that he would be taught a lesson by the emperor before he hurriedly He ran over, fearing that if he really died "suddenly", the Hou Mansion would suffer the same fate.

Chu Qianchen muttered softly: "What a pity."

The big pills haven't been finished yet. It should have been done in another five or six days... There are so many messes in the Hou Mansion!

Amber thought for a while and asked, "Girl, is the person coming later the Madam?"

If the Marquis fails to take the girl back, there is a high probability that the Marquis will ask the Dowager to be his reinforcements.

Chu Qianchen responded casually: "Maybe." She was still thinking about Dazowan in her mind.

Chu Qianchen began to think deeply, and Hu Hua was not idle either. He ordered the little maid to sweep away the cut branches and leaves in the courtyard, and also sent someone to prepare the Biluochun that the Madam liked.

She also personally picked out a white porcelain vase, put the few hibiscus flowers that Chu Qianchen had just cut into the vase, and brought it to Chu Qianchen to look at.

The little maids also gathered around and praised Chu Qianchen for the flower branches and the vase that Amber picked. They complemented each other.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was harmonious, with laughter and laughter.

It was not until the afternoon of the afternoon that people came to the Hou Mansion again. Their arrival broke the original warm and quiet atmosphere.

Amber only guessed one-third of the time correctly. It was not just Mrs. Chu, but also Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang.

Chu Lingxiao's face was dark, and he exuded an aura of keeping strangers away from a distance.

"Sister Chen," as soon as Aunt Jiang saw Chu Qianchen, she quickly stepped forward and rushed into the pavilion first. Tears fell, crying pitifully, "I hope you're okay!"

"The second housekeeper came home and said you were seriously ill, but he scared me to death!"

"I'm so scared... I'm so scared that I will send people with white hair to people with black hair..."

"Sister Chen, actually I also begged the eldest lady not to send you to Zhuangzi, but I am a soft-spoken person and can't speak for you."

"I know that the eldest lady is also helpless. She doesn't care about anyone else. She also has to consider the fourth young master. She is afraid that you will implicate the Hou Mansion, so she will..."

Aunt Jiang cried and cried, her tears still falling like broken pearls.
