Not long after Xu Chunjun received the letter, he heard crying outside.
Zi Ling said: "Is she my wife? Who knows how to talk so much?"
Green Ulva rolled her eyes in her heart, this lady looked like a crab without legs. She chanted Buddha's name when nothing happened, but cried when something happened.
Mrs. Fang was surrounded by a bunch of women and maids. She entered the door crying, grabbed Xu Chunjun and said, "God! What can I do? Isn't this going to kill me!"
Xu Chunjun naturally wanted to comfort her and said: "Madam, don't worry, those people are asking for money, and the banknotes are already prepared."
But Mrs. Fang still couldn't stop crying and kept asking what to do and what to do.
Everyone had no choice but to persuade her.
Zhang Tingzhi said: "Cousin, let's go back and wait patiently for the news! My cousin is so ill, let her take good care of herself and keep her spirits up so that she can save her cousin."
Mrs. Fang said: "I also know this is true, but I really can't let it go. Chunjun, I only have such a son, and you only have such a husband. You must save him. If there is no illness, there will be one."
Three long and two short, I won’t be able to survive!”
Xu Chunjun said: "Madam, don't worry, I will try my best. You haven't recovered from your illness yet, so don't worry about it."
He added: "You must not let the old lady know about this matter again. Mr. Chen Qi specially warned her at the beginning. The old lady is most afraid of getting angry in a hurry, and it is easy for her old disease to relapse."
Zhang Tingzhi said: "Don't worry, cousin, I'll just ask everyone in the yard to stop talking nonsense."
Everyone tried to persuade Ms. Fang to go back, but as soon as she left, Aunt Liu and Aunt Hu came crying again.
Lvchun said angrily: "What are you doing?! I haven't done anything yet, but you are going to mourn first."
Aunt Liu quickly explained: "I heard that something happened to the uncle, and I cried because I was worried."
Lvyan didn't believe her and said, "Are you just going to cry? It's not up to us girls to save people."
Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "That's natural. I just wanted to come over and ask, so as to help grandma share her worries."
At this time, Zi Ling sent Fang back. When she heard what she said, she said: "Aunt Liu, are you sharing our girl's worries or adding to the trouble? It costs one hundred thousand taels of silver to redeem the uncle. How much can you give? On weekdays.
I'm eating, drinking and having fun with you, but if something happens, I'll just show off with a few tears and two empty words, and tell you, it's not your turn!"
These words made Aunt Liu and Aunt Hu so embarrassed that they turned around and left.
It's not that they didn't have any money, but it was their personal money and they couldn't give it to anyone else.
Besides, Zheng Wuji's life or death was uncertain, so they had to make plans for their future.
Although Aunt Liu blames Aunt Hu for what happened last time, no one in this family except Aunt Hu is willing to pay attention to her.
After returning from Dongdu, Xu Chunjun laid off half of his family's servants.
There is only one girl left in her yard, and Aunt Hu has to rely on Aunt Hu for many things.
At this time, Hua Sanbo and Xiao Shun also came back from outside. After searching on the mountain road for half a day, they still found nothing.
After hearing this, Xu Chunjun said: "This is normal. Those people will naturally be very careful not to leave any traces. Besides, they are in the wild."
Zi Ling was worried about Xu Chunjun's health and said, "Girl, why don't you invite the elders from both families here! If something goes wrong, you won't have to complain, right?"
Gu Xi
Xu Chunjun said: "Wait a minute, isn't the deadline three days? I invited them early, so I have to worry about it. At most, I should tell my aunt first that the Marquis has been in the Ministry of Punishment all year round and can always give some advice."
Zi Ling said: "Then I will go to the Lu family to meet my aunt."
When she was walking out, she happened to see Qiuyue'an's sister-in-law Liaochen and her apprentice entering Fang's courtyard.
Although Xu Chunjun had said before that these three aunts and six wives were not allowed to enter the house without any reason, but since Chen Chen came with the Tang family last time and hooked up with the Fang family, the servants had to take the wife's face into consideration.
What's more, the family was busy at the moment, and Zi Ling didn't care about such trivial matters. She just told Sikanda: "Now that they are here, it is not appropriate for us to force them out. But the eldest grandma has given instructions not to leak the news about the uncle's accident."
, then don’t let these two nuns go out in the next few days, so as not to cause trouble."
Sikandar said: "I know, just keep them. Besides, my wife is like this now. With them by her side, I'm afraid she will have less trouble with grandma."
Zi Ling arrived at the Lu family and saw Mrs. Lu explaining her intention.
Mrs. Lu was shocked when she heard this and said, "It's true, this child Wuji has caused big trouble after all."
Then he said: "I will go to your house to see Mr. Chun first, and then I will discuss it with him when Mr. Hou comes back from the Yamen."
After saying that, he hurriedly changed his clothes and went to Zheng's house with Zi Ling.
When she came in and saw Xu Chunjun, Mrs. Lu said: "Good boy, you are so sick, why didn't you know me earlier?"
Xu Chunjun forced a smile and said: "It was too late last night. After much deliberation, I still didn't let them invite aunt. Isn't that what I'm going to tell you today? You have to help me make up my mind."
Mrs. Lu sighed and said: "Zi Ling told me on the way that you handled it very well! But you have to be more careful. It would be terrible if those people took the money and hurt others."
"I'm also a little worried about this," Xu Chunjun coughed twice and said, "but now that we are showing that they are hiding, we really can't figure it out."
"There are people who have been thieves for a thousand years, but there are no people who can guard against thieves for a thousand years." Mrs. Lu sighed and said, "It is really not easy to worry if you don't have a disease."
Xu Chunjun's fever has not gone away yet, and now he can no longer support himself.
Mrs. Lu said: "You rest first, I'll go to my wife's place to check on you."
Xu Chunjun fell asleep on the pillow. She was really ill this time.
Mrs. Lu came to Fang's side, where Liao Chen was giving a long explanation of cause and effect to Fang.
Mrs. Lu sat for a while and came out without saying much.
When she saw Zi Ling, she told her: "I'll go home first and discuss countermeasures with the Marquis. You tell Chunjun so that she doesn't have to be too anxious. It's proper to recover from her illness."
Zi Ling sent Mrs. Lu out and then came in to arrange lunch.
Although the masters may not be able to eat it, they still have to make preparations.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Lu sent Mother Ye and told Xu Chunjun: "Master Hou arranged for people to search everywhere to see if they can find the uncle. They also searched for people in the Jianghu, maybe they can get the news. Grandma, please relax.
My heart will definitely be fine."
"Thank you mom, please go back and tell your aunt so that she doesn't worry too much," Xu Chunjun said.
In the middle of the night, Xu Chunjun was sleeping deeply when another commotion started outside.
"Go back to Grandma quickly. The old lady is seriously ill!" The old lady in the old lady's room came over and said, "My wife is asleep, we don't dare to disturb her. Besides, if I tell the lady, I still have to make up my mind."
