If Zhaozhao is really poisoned, as the matron of the house, she has the greatest responsibility.
At this time, in addition to self-blame, she was also afraid. Of course, the most common thing was shock and anger——
She stood up, faced the direction of the Duke of Zhen, and said solemnly: "My daughter-in-law did not notice this matter, and failed to take good care of Zhaozhao. I will wait for my daughter-in-law to find out the matter first, and then go to the ancestral hall to plead guilty."
"This happened to me. I didn't notice anything strange before, let alone my mother." Xu Mingyi said.
These days, my mother has been so busy with her illness that she has been unable to even bother to put her in bed for ten days and a half.
And if it was really the person she guessed, then she was poisoned this time because she was not vigilant.
But how can a little girl who has never been through trouble and has been raised pampered and pampered have any extraordinary vigilance ability? Xu Mingyi made excuses for herself in her heart.
"The problem may not necessarily be at home." Xu Jin seemed to point out.
The Zhenguo government is not without its enemies secretly.
In addition, Zhaozhao is the only daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo...
"Maybe it's not necessarily a conspiracy worth mentioning." Xu Yun considered it and said: "If the other party intends to use Zhaozhao to take revenge on the Zhenguo government, the poison they want to inject may not be as simple as making people sleep -
"
After that, he asked: "Who has Zhaozhao had trouble with before?"
Mrs. Cui also asked hurriedly: "Or did you have contact with anyone before that cold weather?"
After all, her family was well-born and beautiful. Even if there was no festival, there would still be people who were jealous and jealous. If they encountered any opportunity, it was possible for them to have evil thoughts.
Having said that, Zhao Zhao is really too easy to attract danger, and he must be watched and protected ten times and a hundred times in the future.
Ms. Cui thought fearfully and seriously.
Seeing that the family members were speculating, Xu Mingyi said at the right time: "Actually, I also have a guess. Maybe we can see the result tonight."
Last time, Akui died on this night.
This time, she wants to reveal the truth herself.
…
Half an hour later, Duke Zhen Guo left Xiyuan. Although he was full of worries, he didn't show it on his face.
The old servant waiting outside came forward and said, "Old Master, the young man in the front yard said he wanted to thank you in person."
"Is anyone awake?"
"Yes, Dr. Qi also went to see him and said that there is no serious problem. It's just that he just woke up and his body has not recovered yet, and he still can't get out of bed."
The Duke of Zhen Guo nodded and led the people to the front yard.
When he arrived, he saw the young man standing in the hall. When he saw him coming, he raised his hand to salute.
The Duke of Zhen squinted his eyes and looked.
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is tall and tall, with half-tied black hair hanging behind his head. He has a handsome face and a youthful heroic spirit in his eyebrows. Even if he is only wearing a plain gray robe made of ordinary commercial fabrics, he can't hide his nobility.
spirit.
"Junior, I would like to thank Lord Zhen Guo for saving my life."
He saluted at this time, his voice respectful but not inferior.
"Doesn't it mean that he can't get out of bed?" Duke Zhen Guo took one look at his weak face and understood. He sat down and said, "I have never paid much attention to these rules. You don't have to be too rigid. Just lie down and talk."
If you don't take good care of your body, how can you bring happiness to his family?
Wu Chao just sat down in a chair beside him.
Lying on the bed and talking to people, especially his benefactors and elders - the upbringing he has been accustomed to since childhood is deeply rooted in his bones. Even if he has an unruly temperament, he cannot do such a behavior.
Seeing him sit down, the Duke of Zhen didn't say much. He just said straight to the point: "Since you know that I saved your life, I will tell you directly. I, Xu Qiwei, have been saving people all my life, but I didn't mean to do so.
What kind of reward, but there is something that must be done by you right now - my granddaughter is sick and I need you to celebrate her. If you sincerely repay your kindness, this is your chance."
Although Zhaozhao claimed that he was poisoned, whether it is true or not remains to be confirmed.
As for the happy matter, he thought about it and decided that it would be better to accept it first.
What's more, he already had other things to think about.
"The kindness of rescuing each other should be repaid." The young man's face was still calm, "It's just a matter of marriage, not a joke. The girl from your house and I have never met, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to talk about marriage."
Does this mean you refuse to agree?
Duke Zhenguo's eyebrows moved, but there was no sign of anger. On the contrary, there was a hint of appreciation in his heart.
However, there was still a hint of coercion in his tone: "Why, do you think that the girl from my Zhen Guogong Palace is not worthy of you?"
"This junior has no such intention." The young man was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not explain much. He only said, "Excuse me for asking, but I wonder what disease the girl in your house is suffering from? I have some connections in my family, and I am willing to do my best to help you.
The girl from the mansion seeks medical treatment."
The Duke of Zhen shook his head and picked up the tea bowl.
"You don't have to be so anxious about this. Treatment doesn't happen in a day. It won't be too late to discuss it in detail after your marriage is finalized."
"..." The young man was silent for a moment.
Is he impatient?
"There are many rules in the younger generation's family. Regarding marriage matters, you need to inform the elders in the family before they can make a decision."
The Duke of Zhen Guo drank two sips of tea and did not answer the question.
Putting down the tea bowl, he said in a distant tone: "Sixteen years ago, when I was leading the troops to fight in the west, one time because there was a spy in the army, I fell into the Huns' trap and was besieged in a mountain forest. Five days later,
I led a hundred wounded soldiers to break out of the siege at night. A month later, when I received a letter from home, I found out that the day of the breakout was the day this girl was born..."
Wu Chao was startled.
Why...are you saying this all of a sudden?
"She was the first to call me grandfather, and she is also my only granddaughter. She is not afraid of people's jokes. As long as her disease can be cured, I am willing to trade my life for it."
Wu Chao felt a little shocked when he heard this.
He also has a grandfather in his family.
An old man can say such words, even if he means to play emotional cards to win sympathy, it is still touching.
"I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that you don't have to talk nonsense with me - you have to agree to this marriage, and you have to agree to it if you don't. If you know better, we can
Just do things in a friendly manner. If you don't know what's going on, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Unexpectedly, Wu Chao fell silent again.
It turns out it’s not about sympathy…
It means "I understand, this girl is my eyeball, and I will do whatever it takes to save people."
"But I am not an unreasonable person." Zhenguo Gong's tone was slightly slower, and he said with a hint of both soft and hard words: "You also said just now that marriage is indeed a matter of force. How about this... this marriage,
You can just use it to celebrate the occasion, just as a formality. When my granddaughter recovers from her illness in the future, the town government will take her back. From then on, the man and the woman will get married without any interference, and the life-saving debt will be wiped out."
The young man's eyebrows skipped a beat.
In other words, it ends with the so-called divorce?
"How?" Zhen Guo Gong asked: "Don't mention whether your family will agree. I only ask yourself."
Wu Chao took a sip of tea.
Thought for a moment.
"Junior agreed."
So happy?
On the contrary, Zhen Guogong didn't react in time.
