After finding Ling Hanjing, Shu Yao arranged for Feng Chen to go to the Ling family to report that he was safe so as not to worry them too much.
On the other side, Li Nan'er was hiding in the backyard and sulking. At this moment, an old voice came, causing Li Nan'er to suddenly raise his head and look at the person.
"Nan'er, you are unhappy because of Ling Hanjing, don't you blame your brother Hong?"
When Li Nan'er heard this, she choked up and said, "Grandma! What did you say!"
The person who came was none other than Yiye Guhong's mother, Mrs. Yin, who was about sixty years old. She only had one son, Yiye Guhong, and her husband, Yiye Guzhou, was brutally murdered by Gu Changwu because of a disagreement over the construction of water conservancy projects.
When Mrs. Yin saw this, she showed a motherly smile and comforted: "Are you right, grandma? Don't be angry with your brother Hong. He is a well-measured child and will not do anything wrong to you. What's more,
I only recognize you as my daughter-in-law, so what are you worried about?"
Yin's motherly gaze and care made Li Nan'er throw herself into her arms aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes, "Everyone can see that Brother Hong is very good to Ling Hanjing, even Aji said so, grandma,
I am so sad."
"As long as she is around, Brother Hong will not like me." The more Li Naner talked, the more she felt aggrieved, and she cried in Mrs. Yin's arms.
Mrs. Yin patted her back distressedly, and her originally loving face suddenly turned cold and terrifying.
"Nan'er, don't worry, I won't let that woman take my son away. You have to believe in your brother Hong. He is not an ungrateful person. If your parents hadn't saved me back then, your brother Hong and I would have been there long ago.
died."
Back then, when Yiye Guzhou was killed by Gu Changwu, his wife and children could not escape the clutches of the murderer. In order to eradicate the problem, Gu Changwu secretly sent two killers to kill Yiye Guzhou's wife and children.
Li Nan'er's father was a craftsman who built water conservancy projects, and was a good friend of Yiye Guzhou.
Once, he overheard the news that Gu Changwu was going to kill his friend's wife and children, so he secretly hid them and their children in the cellar of his home.
However, those men in black quickly got the news and sneaked into Li Nan'er's home at night.
Unexpectedly, they were not good people. When the person they wanted to kill was not found, the man in black vented his anger on the couple. In this way, Li Nan'er's parents were brutally killed by them.
Fortunately, Li Nan'er's mother took advantage of the chaos and hid the young girl in a water tank, thus escaping the disaster. Because she was ashamed of her husband and wife, Ms. Yin raised Li Nan'er as her own daughter.
It has always been Li Nan'er who has shown his filial piety in front of her.
As the two children grew up, Ms. Yin realized that Li Nan'er liked her son, so she came up with the idea of keeping her wealth from others, and wanted to take her as her daughter-in-law, which would be regarded as repaying the kindness she had received back then.
Li Nan'er, who was lying in Mrs. Yin's arms, stopped crying instantly, and a cold smile flashed across her lips.
"By the way, grandma, I'm going to make some medicine for Ling Hanjing later. Brother Hong specially told me that her food and medicine must not be contaminated with meat or fish."
When Mrs. Yin heard this, she wiped the tears on her face distressedly and said, "Good boy, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Grandma is going to boil the medicine. You go back and have a good rest."
When Li Nan'er heard this, she was secretly happy. She nestled in Mrs. Yin's arms and started to act coquettishly, "Grandma, you are so kind."
"Silly boy, you are like my biological daughter, serving me by my side. Grandma understands your thoughts. Don't worry, Nan'er. Grandma only recognizes you as my daughter-in-law."
At night, Yiye Guhong's room was pushed away by others. He looked back and called out warmly: "Mother."
"You haven't slept yet! Mother wants to talk to you." Since the child grew up, it seems that mother and son have never had a good chat together. Most of the time, they talk about how to avenge his father.
In fact, Yin has always been in a conflict. On the one hand, she wants to avenge the dead man.
On the one hand, he doesn't want his son to take risks. This road is destined to be difficult. How can he compete with the Gu family's powerful position?
After hearing this, Yiye Guhong suddenly felt that his mother had come prepared. He stood up and brought Mr. Yin to the soft couch and said, "Okay! My son will listen to whatever my mother has to say."
Sitting next to him, Mrs. Yin said solemnly and seriously: "Gu Hong, do you listen to what mother says?" Seeing her mother being so serious, Yiye Guhong smiled and said, "Mother, why do you say that? Of course my son will listen.
!”
Yin's old eyes looked at him steadily and said straight to the point: "I can see that you like Ling Hanjing."
Hearing this, Yiye Guhong felt a palpitation in his heart. His gaze towards Ms. Yin was somewhat averted. He denied, "Mother, I didn't. I think mother has misunderstood."
"I saw it right. Judging from your eyes and attitude, I am even more sure that you like her very much." Ms. Yin lowered her head and sighed helplessly. She knew her son best. Seeing that he didn't want to admit it, she became even more sure.
Thoughts in mind.
Yiye Guhong tried his best to hide his guilty conscience and defended: "Mom, Ling Hanjing is innocent, she was injured because of me."
Seeing that he was still forcing an explanation, Ms. Yin's loving eyes suddenly dimmed. Her old hands touched his strong shoulders and said earnestly:
"Mom knows that you are an upright person, but I have to remind you that Ling Hanjing is the wife of the Gu family's Ming Matchmaker. If you want to be with her, it is unreasonable and not allowed by nature. You must remember it."
Seeing Yi Ye Guhong's silence for a moment, Ms. Yin stopped asking questions. This was also a warning to him. She wanted him to understand that there was a river in the middle that he couldn't cross. Their identities and status were very different.
Maybe together.
Seeing his mother getting up to leave, Yiye Guhong hurriedly sent her out, returned to bed, looked at the empty roof, and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
In the past few days, Ling Hanjing's injury had improved, and Shu Yao helped her walk in the yard. Ling Hanjing's complexion finally improved after lying there for several days.
She raised her head slightly, took a deep breath of fresh air, and said happily: "I have been lying in bed for so long, and I can finally get out of bed and walk around."
At this time, Li Nan'er came over with the decoction. It happened that Yiye Guhong also looked towards her. He strode up to Li Nan'er and said: "Nan'er, Han Jing's medicine should be given to me."
bring it on."
In Nan'er's stunned and jealous eyes, Yiye Guhong took the decoction from her hand and turned around and walked towards Ling Hanjing. Did he actually want to feed Ling Hanjing the medicine himself?
"Han Jing, the last dose of the decoction is enough. You will be fine soon." Yiye Guhong walked over briskly, with a hint of joy in his words.
Ling Hanjing took the medicine bowl from his hand and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Hong."
After taking a few sips of the pungent herbs in the bowl, Ling Hanjing couldn't help but frown, and a layer of fine beads of sweat gradually formed on her forehead.
When the bowl in her hand was handed back to Yiye Guhong, her body suddenly softened, and the medicine bowl fell to the ground with a "pang" sound.
The moment Ling Hanjing was about to collapse, Yiye Guhong noticed something strange and caught her instantly. The two of them exclaimed in unison: "Hanjing?!"
"Sister Ling?!" Shu Yao hurriedly ran over to help her.
Leaning in his arms, Ling Hanjing felt a burning sensation in her chest, her face became as pale as paper, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spilled out of the corner of her mouth.
When Yiye Guhong saw this, he became frightened and uneasy. He nervously patted Ling Hanjing's pale little face and kept calling her name, "Hanjing!"
"Han Jing? How could this happen?"
Shu Yao suddenly felt something bad. She picked up the broken medicine bowl from the ground and sniffed it. Suddenly, her eyebrows knitted together tightly. She glanced at Yiye Guhong with cold eyes and cursed: "You don't know Sister Ling?"
Isn’t there any trace of blood on my wound? This medicine clearly smells of blood."
When Yiye Guhong heard this, his heart trembled. An unprecedented uneasiness was coming to him. He picked up Ling Hanjing and walked towards the inner room.
The doctor who arrived felt for her pulse, then shook his head repeatedly. After a while, he slowly stood up and said helplessly: "It's useless, she was too deeply poisoned."
Suddenly hearing the bad news, Yiye Guhong just felt like a thunderbolt from the blue. He couldn't believe it and shouted angrily: "No way, she has obviously improved. As long as she takes the last dose of the decoction, she will be fine."
The doctor stroked his beard and sighed: "The key is not to touch a little bit of meat while taking the medicine. If only a little bit, her injury will not get better, but will aggravate it, making it several times more serious than before."
Li Nan'er never expected that Yiye Guhong would be so out of control, and the hatred in her heart was even worse. She slowly walked forward and comforted softly:
"Brother Hong, don't be too sad. Maybe, maybe Ling Hanjing's injury is too serious, so this medicine doesn't work on her?"
Yiye Guhong turned to look at Li Nan'er and suddenly grabbed her arm. The force was so painful that Li Nan'er cried out in pain: "Ah!"
Yiye Guhong's eyes were like burning flames, and he pushed straight towards Li Nan'er, asking sternly: "What happened to Han Jing's medicine? Didn't I tell you that Han Jing's injuries should not be touched by any trace of meat?"
?”
Faced with Yiye Guhong's uncontrollable roar, Li Nan'er became panicked. She shook her head desperately, crying with a hint of grievance, and denied: "I don't know, I don't know, Ling Hanjing has become like this.
, I don’t want to either.”
At this time, Aji came from outside and cursed at the crazy Yiye Guhong:
"Don't be angry with Nan'er. Ever since this woman came here, she has made this place a mess. Nan'er is not her servant. Taking care of her is entirely because of you. You still scold her. Do you have any conscience?"
Li Nan'er stopped the irritable Aji and said with tears in her eyes: "Aji, it's all my fault. Don't blame Brother Hong. I didn't take good care of Ling Hanjing and made her injured."
"I will go find the best doctor in Kyoto now and make sure to cure her. If anything happens to Ling Hanjing, I will never feel at ease in this life!"
After she finished crying, she was about to run out of the house, but was stopped by Aji, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
Aji looked angrily at Li Nan'er, who had tears on his face, and scolded her heartbrokenly: "Why are you so uneasy? You didn't do anything wrong."
