The Chen family and his wife did not expect that Cha Miyue would find out what they had been trying so hard to do. Gu was filled with hatred and glared at Sun Kunshan fiercely, thinking that there was no trace left.
Sun Kunshan didn't dare to face him and said casually: "I'm going to change out of this auspicious uniform, and then go see off the guests."
After saying that, he ran away.
After a moment of shock, Mr. Chen said: "County Lord, we can explain this matter."
It’s impossible without an explanation. What if the woman in front of me goes to complain to the emperor... The Duke’s office can copy them as they please. The Chen family is just an ordinary businessman. Although some of their ancestors were officials, those were all decades ago.
It's over, now the Chen family only knows a few adults, and you can ask for small things. For such a big thing as offending the county boss, you can only let it go.
"Nan Kang has been pampered by our husband and wife since he was a child. His temper is too simple. He was deceived by that woman. He really respects you and did not intend to escape from the marriage."
"It's intentional!" Chu Yunli's face was solemn: "Since he didn't want to marry me for a long time, why didn't he tell me in advance that he had to leave me on the wedding day?"
Mr. Chen also wanted to ask his son this question.
But the person is not here, so I can’t ask!
Mrs. Gu stepped forward to comfort her: "Yue Niang, our husband and wife really love you as their daughter, and we really want to hire you as our daughter-in-law. Nankang's disobedience is something we didn't expect. In this way, after he comes back, what do you want?"
Hit him as long as he wants, scold him if he wants, and the Chen family will never hesitate."
After saying that, she also pulled the man next to her to ask him to express his position.
As long as he can make the woman in front of him calm down, Mr. Chen will do anything. He immediately said that he would teach his son a lesson until the county lord is satisfied.
Before the marriage was decided, Cha Miyue had been living in the Chen Mansion for ten years. She was almost half a master and was familiar with everything. That is to say, after the marriage was decided, she had to find a place to get married.
I bought a three-in house outside and moved there.
From the engagement to the wedding, it took more than half a year... During this period, she and Chen Nankang didn't see each other much. Chen Nankang also met Miss Wu during this period, and later came to the point where she would not marry anyone other than Qing.
"I won't go anywhere until people come back!" Chu Yunli stood up: "Where will I live?"
Mrs. Gu almost didn't react and said subconsciously: "I always had people clean the yard where I lived before, so I didn't even have to clean it up."
Chu Yunli nodded: "Then...you should rest early."
Mr. Chen was speechless. His son had caused such a big disaster, how could he rest?
If nothing unexpected happens, the couple will not be able to sleep peacefully until their son comes back.
*
The next day, Chu Yunli got up and the maid came in to wait on him as usual.
When Cha Miyue came from the capital, she only brought one maid with her to serve her. Unfortunately, the maid was a little dissatisfied when she came. She persisted for two months and then returned to the capital. The remaining maids gradually disappeared. Later, the maids who served her were gone.
Everyone is arranged by Gu.
Looking back now, it's hard to say whether that woman was acclimated or was dismissed by the Chen family.
Therefore, when it came to the change of groom, the maid who helped Cha Miyue in had obtained Gu's instructions first and did not remind him from the beginning to the end.
When Chu Yunli came in yesterday, she deliberately dismissed the maids around her. The two who came in to serve today were arranged by Mrs. Gu last night.
"Why don't you, County Master, sleep a little longer?"
Chu Yunli sat in front of the dressing table: "I had a dream and couldn't sleep. Is your young master back?"
The maid paused for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
They were told by their superiors not to mention the young master's return to the mansion early in the morning in front of the county magistrate. But everyone asked, and if they denied it, they would have deceived the county magistrate... If investigated, this would be a crime.
Chu Yunli looked at her in the mirror: "You're back, right?"
A determined tone.
The maid came forward and whispered: "Don't say it was the slave who told you. The young master arrived early in the morning. Miss Wu was injured and is asking the doctor for treatment right now."
Chu Yunli stood up: "Let me take a look."
The maid was startled: "You must not go. If you go, you will definitely be punished."
Chu Yunli acted as if she hadn't heard the words and left without looking back.
In his previous life, Chen Nankang came back on the morning of the second day of his wedding. It was not that he felt that the dust had settled and he could go home, but that the Wu girl was seriously injured and had to be treated by a skilled doctor.
He had to go back.
However, at that time, Cha Miyue and Sun Kunshan had already gone to the church to get married. Although they had not consummated their marriage, Cha Miyue did not want to force Chen Nankang to marry her.
Besides, Chen Nankang came back with his sweetheart in his arms, and his heart and eyes were full of love for him. Cha Miyue also had her own pride, and she couldn't do anything like shamelessly praising a man.
Before Chu Yunli entered the main courtyard, she noticed that it was in a mess. The person waiting at the door changed his face when he saw her. He stepped forward and wanted to stop her, but was pushed away.
When she stepped into the courtyard, the masters didn't notice her for a while, but the servants all saw her. Everyone who served in the Chen Mansion knew about the past. For a moment, the courtyard was so quiet that you could hear needles dropping.
In the middle of the courtyard, a woman in cloth was unconscious at the moment. Her face and lips were pale, and her eyes were faintly blue. Even so, she could not hide her delicate appearance.
A doctor was checking her pulse. Chen Nankang held the woman in his arms, his eyes fixed on the doctor's brows, worried and nervous.
The Chen family and his wife were standing nearby, their expressions not very good.
After a while, the doctor took back his hand and said solemnly: "This girl's qi and blood have been too damaged, so she must use medicinal herbs to warm her up."
Chen Nankang asked hurriedly: "Is your life in danger?"
The doctor pondered for a moment: "I came back in time, took good medicine, and cultivated myself well. There should be no serious problem."
Hearing this, Chen Nankang breathed a sigh of relief and urged: "Then hurry up and write a prescription. Money is not a problem."
"I know there is no shortage of money." The doctor hesitated for a moment: "But the medical clinic is short of medicinal materials. This must be hundreds or even thousands of years old ginseng to prepare the medicine. If it is not old enough, it is difficult to grasp the efficacy of the medicine, mainly because of fear
If you delay the condition, if the injury worsens, it will be difficult for gods to save you."
Chen Nankang's eyebrows became more worried. He turned to look at his father and begged: "Dad!"
Mr. Chen’s brows were twisted into knots: “Doctor, please let us be alone for a while.”
The doctor got up and left: "Hurry up, this girl can't afford to delay."
Chen Nankang opened his mouth, wanting to ask the doctor to stay and quickly prescribe a prescription, but before that he had to persuade his father to bring out the medicinal materials, so he had to be patient and clear the place.
The servants walked out, and out of the corner of her eye, Gu noticed someone who was not moving. She looked over impatiently, and wanted to scold him, but when she saw the person clearly, her expression suddenly changed.
"Yue Niang?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked over.
Mr. Chen smiled and said: "When did the county master come? You were so tired yesterday, why didn't you sleep a little longer? Are the people below not waiting on you and disturbing you?"
Chu Yunli seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "I had a dream when it was almost dawn. I dreamed that Mr. Chen was back, and I couldn't sleep. I asked the maid and found out that the dream was true. So I came here to ask, Mr. Chen
Why did the young master abandon the county lord on his wedding day and make the county lord a joke to everyone in the city?"
The tone was unfamiliar, Cha Miyue had called him cousin before.
Chen Nankang was worried about his sweetheart and wanted his father to take out the ginseng to treat him... Seeing that his father ignored him, he also knew that his father had collected the ginseng for many years and would be reluctant to part with it. He turned to his mother and said, "Mom, please help persuade me.
A piece of advice."
As for cheapening his fiancée, he simply ignored it.
Mrs. Gu was thinking about how to appease Cha Miyue so that her son would suffer less. She was a little distracted and did not hear her son's words.
Chen Nankang emphasized his tone: "Mother!"
Mrs. Gu came to her senses: "What?"
"Please help me to persuade my father. Human life is at stake. No matter what my son has done wrong, he will be punished later. But we have to save him first!" Chen Nankang became more and more anxious as he spoke: "She suffered for me and saved me.
Mom, we can’t be ungrateful.”
Chu Yunli clapped her hands and smiled: "You can't be ungrateful, but you can be irresponsible, right?"
Chen Nankang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Seeing this man's reluctance, he became angry: "Yue Niang, can we talk about things later?"
"Okay!" After Chu Yunli finished speaking, he shouted to the servant waiting outside the arch: "I don't have the eyesight to see, but I should bring a chair. I'm so tired standing there."
Immediately a steward brought a stool.
Chen Nankang didn't care where he was, he just looked at his parents persistently.
Mr. Chen frowned and stared at Wu Qingling without answering.
In Chen Nankang's eyes, this appearance meant that his father didn't want to save anyone. He was so anxious that he urged: "Dad, she saved my life! If it weren't for her, I would be the one lying here now not knowing whether to live or die!"
Mr. Chen came back to his senses, spread his hands and said: "It's not that I don't want to save it, it's not that I don't want to get the ginseng, it's just that I can't get it out."
Chen Nankang looked unbelieving: "The ginseng has always been placed in the bank. I saw it last month. Don't lie to me!" He emphasized again: "Human life is at stake. If she is gone, my son will live with guilt for the rest of his life."
middle."
"The ginseng is gone. If you don't believe it, you can ask your mother!" Mr. Chen motioned to the steward to move a chair for him.
Chen Nankang's heart felt cold, and he turned to his mother, hoping for some help.
Mrs. Gu looked helpless: "The ginseng is indeed not there." She glanced at the county master who was as leisurely as if it was nothing to do with him: "We gave it to Yueniang as an apology yesterday."
Chen Nankang was stunned for a moment, and finally his eyes fell on the woman with the old god.
Chu Yunli didn't look at him.
Chen Nankang couldn't help but said: "Yue Niang, where is the ginseng?"
Hearing this, a smile broke out on Chu Yunli's face: "Can you finally see me?"
Chen Nankang was speechless: "Yue Niang, I can't help you regarding the engagement. Being a husband and wife is about fate. I treat you like my own sister. I really can't treat you as my wife..."
Chu Yunli interrupted him: "We've been engaged for more than half a year, and you're not mute, so why didn't you tell me earlier? Yesterday, your parents wanted to give me to Sun Kunshan and ask him to marry me on your behalf."
Chen Nankang's face was full of surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
He picked up Wu Qingling early in the morning and rushed to the suburbs. Something happened to Wu Qingling last night. He rushed outside the city gate overnight and rushed to the house as soon as the door opened. During this period, the carriage did not stop and he did not hear the people outside at all.
talk.
Mr. Chen wiped his face: "It was Kunshan's suggestion, and your mother and I agreed without much thought. Now that I think about it, it was a big mistake." If he had known that things would turn out like this, when his son proposed to marry Wu Qingling,
When you marry your wife, you should take the initiative to cancel the marriage.
Even if his son is not allowed to marry Wu Qingling, he should not be forced to marry the county lord. Now that he has completely offended the county lord, he has no mercy at all.
