Chapter 260 My mother-in-law is a loyal servant (4)
He Tiantian closed her eyes and began to merge the memory of the original owner.
In fact, He Tiantian is familiar with the plot and has conducted an in-depth analysis of the original protagonist. She knows the person "Gu Xiuniang" quite well.
She merged her memories just to accurately determine the crossing points and some life details.
After a while, He Tiantian opened her eyes.
Sure enough, she guessed correctly. The node she traveled to happened to be when the whole family of Pingnan Hou Mansion was being escorted to Beijing.
As for Wei Yuanniang, she had already been whipped in the face by the escorting officers and soldiers because of Mrs. Zhang, and her face was completely disfigured because she had no medical treatment.
Everything that was supposed to happen happened, and it will be very difficult to save it and clean it up in the future.
He Tiantian: ...Although she wanted to scold the system, she knew that it was not the system's fault this time.
He Tiantian had no evidence, but she was sure that this incident was related to Wei Yuanniang's awakening and darkening.
The disfigurement was probably Wei Yuanniang's inner demon.
After the failure of the second writer, Wei Yuanniang went dark.
Although she is just an inconspicuous little character, she is related to "changing children", and this plot plays a vital role in the entire book.
Otherwise, the author can delete or directly modify Wei Yuanniang's character.
The system is probably very depressed. If it had known that Wei Yuanniang would wake up, it would not have asked writers to modify it in order to make a work perfect.
Just ask the author to modify or delete certain details.
But now, Wei Yuanniang has awakened, and it has also affected the stability of the entire small world. The author cannot delete it even if he wants to, and can only let the contributors fix it.
If He Tiantian also fails, then even if the novel world does not collapse, this novel will have no "rescue" value.
The whole book becomes weird, and the reading experience becomes very bad.
"Xiu Niang? Xiu Niang?! What are you thinking about?"
When no response was received, the thin, dark man, Feng Zhongliang, called a few more times.
"...Mr., I was wondering if we did something wrong in the morning!"
He Tiantian deliberately looked thoughtful, with hesitation in her tone.
"In the morning?" Feng Zhongliang didn't react for a moment and asked, "What happened in the morning?"
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Feng Zhongliang's mind, and he suddenly said, "Oh, you are talking about the incident where Madam was almost injured?"
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Although we didn't identify ourselves, the officers and soldiers all know that we are from the Pingnan Marquis Mansion."
"How much money did I give to the man named Qian along the way?"
"He didn't say it, but he knew very well in his heart that we were following him all the way just to escort the people from the Hou Mansion!"
"However, they are greedy for money, and we just followed them without doing anything extraordinary. Those officers and soldiers just turned a blind eye."
The Pingnan Hou Mansion was convicted, and the entire Hou Mansion was ordered by Emperor Chengtai to be escorted to the capital.
As Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Zhang was naturally among the people being escorted. Aunt Zhao was also waiting by her side.
At first, the officers and soldiers pretended to put shackles and chains on these women.
It was Feng Zhongliang who ran up to them and stuffed them with some banknotes, so the group gave up.
Even if she was not wearing a torture device, a pampered lady like Mrs. Zhang, walking all the way and sleeping in the open air, would still be a little unbearable.
It was Feng Zhongliang who took care of things along the way. Whether it was a post station or an inn, he prepared food and medicine in advance.
Of course, big fish and meat should still be given to those officers and soldiers.
However, it is also good to allow Mrs. Zhang, Aunt Zhao and others to eat a mouthful of fine grains and drink a bowl of hot soup.
It was only because of Feng Zhongliang's busy work that Mrs. Zhang and her family members barely survived after traveling more than a thousand miles.
Otherwise, they will either die of illness or starvation, or they may commit suicide because they cannot bear the suffering.
Unfortunately, even with Feng Zhongliang spending a lot of money to take care of it, some things still cannot be avoided.
For example, this morning, an officer and soldier committed some evil act and touched a concubine.
If it were other concubines, Mrs. Zhang would have pretended not to see them.
Although she took the initiative to take many concubines for her husband, she herself hated these women who competed with her for men.
This time when the Hou Mansion was in trouble, those concubines were also among those being escorted.
On the way, in order to please the officers and soldiers and preserve the innocence of several mistresses, Mrs. Zhang would even take the initiative to offer her concubines for the officers and soldiers to enjoy as they pleased.
More than ten concubines committed suicide or died of illness, and now only two or three are left.
And these people were either given to the Marquis by the Dowager Madam, or they were Madam Zhang's maidservants.
Those are all her confidants. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Mrs. Zhang will never dare to give them up easily.
The concubine who was pulled by the officer and soldier this time was one of Madam Zhang's most trusted maids, and she gave birth to a daughter to Pingnan Hou.
Let's talk about Mrs. Zhang. Even the wife who was tortured to the point of having only half her life could not just watch her being humiliated.
Then, the female family members of the Hou family, who had always been very cooperative, started to make a fuss and actually ran over to pull and beat the officer and soldier.
When Qian Xiaowei, who was responsible for the escort, saw this scene, he was first shocked, then furious, and then used force to suppress it.
At this time, Emperor Chengtai had not convicted Ping Nanhou Mansion, and Qian Xiaowei did not dare to kill the wife, Mrs. Zhang and other serious female family members.
He then used a whip to drive away and threaten them.
In the panic, Lieutenant Qian's whip actually hit Wei Yuanniang, the eldest daughter of the Hou family, in the face.
The little child, only four or five years old, had walked thousands of miles with his grandmother, mother, aunts, sisters and others, and he had only breathed his last breath.
The originally fair, plump and plump daughter of the Hou family had been tortured to the point of becoming skin and bones.
Suddenly he was whipped and his whole body was whipped out.
From the center of the eyebrow to the chin, there was a wound as thick as a thumb, the skin was torn and the flesh was bleeding.
What's even more desperate is that they are in the wilderness. Not to mention finding a doctor and applying powder, they can't even wash her wound with water.
Qian Xiaowei was shocked when he found out that he had almost beaten Ping Nanhou's eldest daughter to death, and couldn't help but lose his momentum.
Mrs. Zhang was immediately frightened and did not dare to argue with Colonel Qian anymore.
As a result, the chaos ended quietly with both sides ceasing to fight.
Captain Qian did not pursue the "rebellion" of the female family members of the Hou family, and Mrs. Zhang did not fight with Captain Qian holding the dying Wei Yuanniang.
The two parties seemed to have formed a tacit understanding. No one said anything, they packed up quietly and continued on their way.
Everything seemed to have returned to its original state, except for Wei Yuanniang, whose face was covered in blood and who was unconscious.
"Husband, the eldest lady is the eldest daughter of the Marquis, and she is the only child of the madam. She has suffered such a serious injury and will continue to suffer. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it!"
He Tiantian mentioned Wei Yuanniang, her eyes filled with worry.
This time, it's not pretending, but real anger.
Wei Yuanniang is still just a child.
If it was Mrs. Zhang's own child, could she "turn a big deal into a trivial matter"? Have a silent "reconciliation" with Qian Xiaowei?
You know, Mrs. Zhang had previously stood up to fight against the officers and soldiers for her beloved maid.
In the end, it was Wei Yuanniang's turn. The child was about to die, but Mrs. Zhang turned into a quail!
Sure enough, if they are not biological, they are different.
Of course, that Aunt Zhao is also a weirdo.
Although after Wei Yuanniang fell into coma, Aunt Zhao picked her up and carefully tore off her own clothes to bandage the child.
But is this enough?
If others don't know the inside story, is it possible that Aunt Zhao herself doesn't know the inside story?
Wei Yuanniang is her biological granddaughter, the only bloodline of her son!
However, Aunt Zhao did nothing. She did not find a way to put Wei Yuanniang into the broken carriage, nor did she quietly tell Feng Zhongliang to find a doctor or prepare medicine.
A few days ago, Mrs. Zhang got cold. Aunt Zhao kowtowed to Commander Qian and urged Feng Zhongliang in every possible way, and finally got Mrs. Zhang some medicinal soup.
"Haha, Aunt Zhao is indeed a loyal servant. She only cares about her master. Her son has to retreat, let alone a cheap granddaughter!" He Tiantian sneered secretly.
"Miss?" Feng Zhongliang was stunned again.
Perhaps Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhao did not attach great importance to Wei Yuanniang, so in Feng Zhongliang's mind, there was almost no status for such a little girl.
"Yes, Madam Zhang has been very kind to our Feng family. In order to repay her kindness, my mother-in-law stayed with Madam to serve her even though she had the opportunity to go home and raise her!"
"Nowadays, the whereabouts of the Marquis are unknown, and Madam only has a little bit of flesh and blood like the eldest lady under her knees!"
"We want to repay our kindness and fulfill my mother's loyalty and righteousness, so we should take good care of the eldest lady."
Feng Zhongliang scratched his head. Although his wife's words were different from what his mother usually told him, they still made some sense.
Yes, if the Hou Mansion is in trouble, I just want to pay it back, at least it can hold on for a while.
But the eldest lady is already young, and now she is seriously injured. If she is not treated in time, then, then——
"Xiu Niang, you are still thoughtful!"
"I, I will go to the inn in front, find a doctor first, get some trauma medicine, and then prepare some food for the child to eat!"
Feng Zhongliang has an honest temper, but Aunt Zhao is strong, so he will listen to his mother.
Now that Aunt Zhao is no longer here, and there is an independent wife by his side, and the request is also for Aunt Zhao, Feng Zhongliang subconsciously obeys.
He waved his whip and drove the horse to run faster, and soon arrived at the inn.
He followed his wife's suggestion and hurriedly made preparations.
When Qian Xiaowei and other officers and soldiers escorted the Hou Mansion to the inn.
There was no food, wine, food, hot soup or hot water in the past. There was only a barefoot doctor from the countryside.
Seeing the deserted look of the inn, Captain Qian immediately turned dark.
Mrs. Zhang was also a little angry. After walking for half a day, her feet were covered in blisters.
Both legs seemed to be filled with lead and could not move at all.
And my stomach kept growling.
Mrs. Zhang no longer cared that making noises in her belly would cause ridicule. After a month of being escorted, she simply forgot about etiquette and propriety.
She just wants to have a full meal now, even if the meal is a simple meal that she didn't even look at in the past, as long as she can eat enough, Mrs. Zhang will be very satisfied.
After eating a full meal, soaking her feet in hot water, and lying down to have a good rest, Mrs. Zhang will have the motivation to continue to endure.
but--
"What's going on? You, why are you not prepared for anything?"
Aunt Zhao rushed to Feng Zhongliang, grabbed his arm, and scolded him in a low voice.
Feng Zhongliang is indeed an honest man and doesn't look at other people's faces at all.
He even showed off to Aunt Zhao happily: "Auntie, I found the doctor and prepared medicine for the wound. Miss——"
Miss?
What lady?!
The most important thing now is their wife!
In the mind of Aunt Zhao, there is only Mrs. Zhang. She doesn't care about the eldest lady. She only wants her wife to eat hot meals, wash well and rest well.
Feng Zhongliang didn't know how to read people's words, but He Tiantian could see the anger of Aunt Zhao.
She hurriedly came forward to greet him, put down the little boy in her arms, and raised her hand to pick up Wei Yuanniang from Grandma Zhao's back.
"Oh my, the eldest lady's injury is indeed very serious. Her head is very hot. She must have had a fever!"
He Tiantian greeted Feng Zhongliang repeatedly, "Husband, please invite the doctor quickly. The eldest lady is the only daughter of Madam and the Marquis. Don't dare to make any mistakes!"
Having said this, He Tiantian did not forget to look at Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhao, "Madam, Auntie, don't worry, my husband and I will take good care of the eldest lady!"
Mrs. Zhang: ...Suddenly I felt like a mute eating Coptis chinensis.
She originally wanted to reprimand Feng Zhongliang, but when He Tiantian said this, she not only could not blame Feng Zhongliang for not doing things well, but she also wanted to be "grateful" to the couple for their thoughtfulness.
What could she say?
Is it to blame that Feng Zhongliang should not have been busy calling a doctor for his "daughter"'s injured child, but neglected to prepare meals and hot water for adults like them whose hands and feet were intact?
In fact, it's not that the inn doesn't have "standard meals", it's just too rough.
Along the way, Feng Zhongliang had always helped prepare the meals for the Hou Mansion.
Now let them eat those black steamed buns that even dogs won't eat. They, they won't be able to swallow them at all.
Aunt Zhao: ...I really want to curse people, and even want to hit them.
But, she can't!
She is a loyal servant, that is, she should worry about her master's worries and think about her master's thoughts.
As for the owner of Aunt Zhao, she was a loving mother. What Mrs. Zhang should worry about most is her unconscious daughter.
Now Feng Zhongliang not only invited a doctor, but also cooked meat porridge for Wei Yuanniang that was easy to digest. Aunt Zhao could only be "pleased" and praised her!
Nonsence!
She was so pleased and praised so much!
Aunt Zhao wished she could pull that stupid son over and slap him hard twice.
He Tiantian didn't care how aggrieved and angry Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhao were. She picked up Wei Yuanniang and went to see the doctor.
Captain Qian stood in front of He Tiantian.
He Tiantian raised her eyebrows and quickly winked at Feng Zhongliang.
Although Feng Zhongliang was too honest, in the past month, he followed the escort team to Beijing and learned some tricks.
At least, when Aunt Zhao winked at him and made a move to make some money, he would take the money out of his pocket and give it to Captain Qian.
"Captain Qian, please give me a convenience!"
Feng Zhongliang got his wife's hint and did not dare to delay. He quickly took out another five taels of silver ingot and stuffed it into Qian Xiaowei's sleeve.
Qian Xiaowei pinched the silver and looked at Wei Yuanniang, who was furious. After all, she didn't dare to let Ping Nanhou's eldest daughter die in his hands, so he stepped away.
