As soon as Ding Cha'er got hot, he lay in bed with a fever. Within half a day, he started talking nonsense.
Chen's father invited the doctor, but he boiled the medicine and drank it, but there was no improvement. At first, he thought that Ding Cha'er was too weak, but the next morning, he saw Ding throwing the medicine prepared by the doctor into the stove and changing it.
Some gray hay is boiling.
At that time, Father Chen wanted to change the handkerchief on Ding Chaer's forehead. He found that the water in the basin was not cold enough and he didn't see the cook, so he went to the kitchen to fetch water.
Normally, he wouldn't be able to go to the kitchen once a year. But he didn't expect that he would see such a thing with his own eyes just once by chance. At that time, he was so confused that he rushed up to Mrs. Ding and slapped her in the face.
After the beating, she was still angry: "You vicious woman! What are you doing?"
Ding covered her face and looked at the man with a fierce look on his face, who wanted to eat her. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you see that?"
She didn't even defend herself, she just admitted it. Chen's father said angrily: "These days, I haven't even had tea in front of you. You two didn't quarrel, so why did you do such a cruel thing?"
In the eyes of Chen's father, Ding Cha'er, who gave birth to his son, was already his family. He knew that Ding didn't like her, but he never expected that Ding had reached the point where she couldn't tolerate her.
Ding asked back: "Why don't you know about me? Do you think I am a fool and let you bully and deceive me?"
Seeing the anger in her eyes, Chen's father suddenly said: "Have you seen the house deed?"
Ms. Ding asked back: "She even robbed my son's things. I changed her medicine. What's wrong? I can't do anything to that baby who can't talk yet, right?"
Chen's father was very angry: "If you say so, I still want to thank you for doing something to your child?" Finally, he explained: "She didn't bring up the matter of exchanging the house deed."
Mrs. Ding's eyes widened and she yelled: "She can seduce people like this, and make you willingly give up your family property with both hands, and I won't feel guilty if you do something to her!"
"I can explain it, why didn't you ask me?" The wife and concubine were at odds, even to the point of life and death. Chen's father was filled with pain and explained: "Yuan Lin is like this, and he can't do business. I plan to put him over there
The shop is given to Yuan Bao, and the ancestral property of the Chen family is left to Yuan Lin. He is the eldest son and should have his share of the ancestral property."
Ms. Ding did not feel guilty because of his explanation, and even became angrier, asking: "You think you are generous, but have you ever thought that a year ago, everything in this house belonged to Yuanlin!"
Father Chen was speechless.
When Mrs. Ding saw that he didn't speak, she became even more angry: "Our family is like this all because you can't control yourself. You were not unaware of Ding Cha'er's seduction at the beginning, but you only gave in half-heartedly. If it weren't for the fact that you had a bastard, Yuan Lin would
Why would he want to open another shop? If he had been living with us, how could he have been burned?"
She complained, tears falling down her haggard face. During this time, she had aged more than ten years. Father Chen saw it in his eyes. Although he didn't feel that he was as wrong as she said, he was considerate of her. In fact,
My son's experience was too tragic.
It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Father Chen felt that these matters in his family were a mess and could not be sorted out for the time being. Ding Chaer was still waiting for medicine.
No matter how much he regrets in his heart, now that Ding Chaer is his concubine and has given birth to a child for him, he can't just watch such a big child without a mother, right?
Immediately, without further ado, he got up and went to the medical center to grab some more medicine and take it himself. After thinking about it, he knocked on Chu Yunli's door with the medicine in hand.
"Xiuzhi, could you please give me some medicine?"
At that time, Mrs. Ding was angry and sneered, "It is indeed your Chen family's tradition to let your daughter-in-law serve as your concubine."
Chen's father was dissatisfied: "How come my daughter-in-law is just waiting for me when I give her medicine? Besides, there are only a few people in the family. I can't give it to her. How can I just watch her die?"
Mrs. Ding was so unwilling at this time that she couldn't listen to anything Father Chen said, and her smile became even more sarcastic: "Yeah, my family can't even afford a waiter, so why should I follow other people's example and take a concubine? I haven't become rich yet,
First, you have thoroughly learned the bad habits of those wealthy families. Why don’t you learn the good habits from them, such as respecting the mistress, discussing everything with the mistress, and leaving concubines in charge of the mistress?”
She was so aggressive that Father Chen thought she was unreasonable. He looked at Chu Yunli and said, "Xiuzhi, hurry up."
Chu Yunli was impatient, stood up, took the medicine, entered Ding Chaer's room, held her chin, and quickly poured down the bowl of medicine.
The action was so rough that Father Chen's tooth hurt from looking at it.
However, I did take the medicine and didn't vomit.
At night, because Ding Chaer was ill, Chen's father was afraid that she would make her sick. There was no extra room at home, so he asked the cook to take the child and went back to the main house. The couple was silent all night.
The next morning, when Chen's father went to see Ding Cha'er again, he found that she had run out of breath.
He was stunned, quickly came to his senses, and touched Ding Cha'er's breathing area. He was indeed out of breath, and his body was already stiff. It should have disappeared in the middle of the night.
How could it be gone?
Subconsciously, he began to think about last night and woke up several times, but didn't notice anything strange.
As for whether the people around him had gotten up, he wasn't sure.
But regardless of whether it was done by Mr. Ding or not, this matter should not be a big deal. After thinking about it, Chen's father calmly asked the cook to ask for a doctor.
The doctor came and left, but could not tell how Ding Chaer died. He found that there were no external injuries on her body, and it did not look like she was poisoned. He only said: "People with high fever can easily die."
Chen Jiaxinna’s concubine died.
She was just a concubine, just like when Ding Chaer entered the house, she was buried as quietly as possible.
Ding Chaer's natal family was dissatisfied and came to make a fuss. But she had already been buried, so there was no fuss. They just said that her death was unusual and asked the Chen family to compensate.
Chen's father was naturally not willing to pay compensation. Firstly, he was reluctant to part with the money, and secondly, this compensation was tantamount to admitting that there was something wrong with the cause of Ding Chaer's death. Therefore, after many days of back and forth, Chen's father still hadn't figured out what to do with Ding Cha'er.
Seeing that the Chen family didn't feel guilty at all, the people on the other side of the house withdrew first.
They knew that Ding Chaer was sick. It was normal for him to die suddenly from a serious illness.
But before leaving, he asked Chen's father to take good care of Yuan Bao.
It was really pitiful for such a small child to lose his mother. After careful consideration, Mr. Chen did not propose to let Ding take care of the child. Instead, he hired a wet nurse from outside.
Because Ding Cha'er was gone, the atmosphere at home was solemn. Qianxin, who was recuperating there, originally planned to wait for Chen Yuanlin's death to ask for help. But after his leg was amputated, although he was in low spirits and fell asleep most of the day, the injuries on his body
It's definitely getting better.
Qianxin is unwilling to guard a useless person. She is already eighteen years old and cannot bear the delay.
In the afternoon of this day, Chu Yunli was "explaining" Chen Yuanlin again. Qianxin came in and saluted the two of them: "Yuan Lin, I have something to tell you."
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "Want to leave?"
Qian's heart was silent. No matter what she said at this time, it would be sophistry. She only gave one salute: "Madam, I beg you to grant me permission."
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "I didn't hire you in the first place. If you want to leave, you don't have to ask me."
Qianxin looked at Chen Yuanlin on the bed: "Yuanlin, I hope you won't embarrass me for the sake of our friendship."
Chen Yuanlin's throat was not well maintained and he could not speak at all. He had no intention of speaking and just stared at her.
Seeing this, Qian felt a little embarrassed. If she really had to wait until Chen Yuanlin personally asked her to leave, she might not be able to wait for the rest of her life, so she could only look at Chu Yunli pleadingly.
Chu Yunli looked her up and down: "You can leave if you want. But there are some things I want to ask clearly. If you answer honestly, if I'm satisfied and in a good mood, I might let you go."
Qianxin's eyes lit up: "If you ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
"Whose is the child in your belly?"
Qianxin: "..."
She glanced at Chen Yuanlin and swallowed hard: "Of course it belongs to Yuanlin."
Chu Yunli shook his head: "You are lying. To be honest, Chen Yuanlin has a hidden illness. Why do you think it took us six years to have a child after we got married? It's because he is in poor health and it is difficult for a woman to get pregnant. The doctor said, I can have a child
The child is already a blessing from heaven. When it was reported that you were pregnant, you and he had not known each other for long. The child in your belly cannot be his." After a pause, she said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you.
If you don't tell the truth, I can't let you go."
Qianxin looked left and right, but not at the person on the bed. After a long while, she said, "It belongs to my cousin."
Chen Yuanlin: "..."
He didn't hate Qianxin, because he knew that the child was not his. But Chu Yunli insisted on tearing away this fig leaf, and insisted on telling Qianxin that he had a hidden illness in front of Qianxin, who was about to leave, and refused to give him anything.
Face. After Qianxin left, you still don’t know what to say to him?
Thinking of this, he hated the woman next to him even more.
She told the truth. Chu Yunli was quite satisfied and asked with a smile: "Why does Zhao Junhe help you matchmaking with him?"
Qianxin was silent again, this time for a long time. After a long while, she whispered: "My cousin is the clerk next door to Zhao's grain store. After I got pregnant, I went to see my cousin and asked him
He bought me medicine. I happened to be seen by Mr. Zhao's family. He told me that if the miscarriage hurts the body, it is a life after all, and it is best to give birth to the child. Then, he took me to a restaurant... What happened next,
You will know."
Chu Yunli nodded and asked, "Why did Zhao Junhe do this?"
"I don't know." Qianxin lowered her head. It was not honorable to say these things. If it weren't for leaving, she would never say it in her life.
The room fell silent again. Qian became impatient and tentatively said: "Although he didn't say it directly, I feel like he wants to sow discord between you and your husband. He also asked me to interact with Yuan Lin more and try to let him spend as much time with me as possible."
I……"
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Let's go."
Qianxin was overjoyed, and after bending down to salute, she hurried out, picked up the baggage she had prepared, and left quickly, as if she was afraid that Chu Yunli would regret it.
Watching her go out, Chu Yunli turned to look at Chen Yuanlin and found that he had closed his eyes.
"What, are you sad?"
Chen Yuanlin ignored her.
Chu Yunli asked enthusiastically: "Do you want revenge?"
Chen Yuanlin suddenly opened his eyes.
Lying in bed these days, he seemed to have seen the rest of his life at a glance.
All of this was caused by Zhao Junhe, who deliberately sent the pregnant Qianxin to him and harmed him to this point. How could he be willing to do so?
