"Sister Shuang, something is wrong in Jinyue Alley. As long as Lianyang comes back safely, don't act rashly for the time being."
Geng Xingshuang was still a little hesitant at first. She also felt that Jinyue Hutong did not look like ordinary wealthy people. Now that even Zhu Yan said so, she suppressed the idea of asking, and when she arrived at Mingshang Pavilion, she asked half Juan should pay more attention to Yannian Hall. If Xu Lianyang comes back, she can feel at ease if someone goes to the uncle's house to tell her.
That night, Geng Xingshuang was originally worried about Xu Lianyang, but when it was getting dark, Jiang Ping came to report that both old doctor Xu and young doctor Xu were back. Although they were tired, nothing else happened.
Geng Xingshuang felt relieved. After dinner, she walked with Ruan for a while to eat, and then prepared to wash up and rest.
Not even a quarter of an hour after I lay down, I heard a knock on the door.
"Girl, it's me, something happened!"
Geng Xingshuang was startled and quickly got up and opened the door for Jinbao, and the painting curtain also came.
"What happened?"
When Geng Xingshuang asked, she glanced towards the main room. Her father came back very early tonight. Now the main room was dark. It seemed that her parents had rested. Geng Xingshuang felt relieved. As long as she was not her parents, she would There is nothing to worry about anymore.
"It's the fifth girl. The fifth girl hanged herself!"
"ah?"
Geng Xingshuang was shocked and felt her heart pounding wildly, as if it would jump out of her chest in the next moment.
At this time, Ruan and Geng Wen in the main room should have heard the noise outside, and the lights turned on inside.
"What happened outside?" It was Geng Wen's voice.
Before Geng Xingshuang could answer, Geng Wen and Ruan had already walked out one after another.
Geng Xingshuang was in shock, and Jinbao told the story again about Geng Xingyu hanging himself.
Ruan was shocked when she heard this, "What a sin!"
Geng Wen's face was also extremely ugly.
"How is fifth sister?"
Geng Xingshuang finally calmed down and asked hurriedly.
Jin Bao said: "Aunt Peng discovered it first. When she saw it, it was already a little too late. He was saved and he was still alive, but he still didn't wake up. He had already gone to call the doctor."
Geng Xingshuang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he was still alive.
After such a big thing happened, Geng Wen and Ruan naturally wanted to take a look. Geng Xingshuang also went to Yinghe Courtyard with them. Yinghe Courtyard was brightly lit and noisy inside.
Geng Xingyu lived in the side courtyard where Aunt Peng lived. Geng Wen couldn't go in, so Ruan Shi took Geng Xingshuang in with him.
Before entering the room, Geng Xingshuang heard Aunt Peng crying. The sound was not loud, but it had a sadness that made people cry.
Ruan let out a long sigh.
Yao was sitting on the imperial chair next to Geng Xingyu's bed, with a complicated look on his face. Geng Xingbing stood beside Yao, a little absent-minded, and did not see Geng Xingshui.
Aunt Peng squatted beside her daughter's bed, holding Geng Xingyu's hand tightly with both hands, calling "Yu'er... mother's Yu'er..." over and over again.
Although her title was inappropriate, no one was pursuing it at this moment.
Behind her stood the fifth young master Geng Shumin. The young boy had a look of anger on his face, but his eyes were red.
When Yao saw Ruan and Geng Xingshuang, she reluctantly said, "Coming?"
Ruan nodded and said nothing more.
Geng Xingshuang took a step forward and looked at Geng Xingyu who was lying on the bed. When he saw it, he was shocked again. Geng Xingyu's face was really ugly. It was green and white, looking gray and lifeless. When he saw the slight rise and fall on the thin quilt, Geng Xingshuang breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as people are alive, there is still a chance.
After entering the house for a while, Geng Cheng was not seen. It was difficult for her father to enter this side courtyard, so Geng Cheng never came.
However, Yao's next words cleared up her doubts.
"Sir, he has a social event outside tonight. I don't know that something happened to Sister Yu. I have asked the boy to go outside to look for her. He should be back soon."
Yao didn't know whether she was explaining to Ruan or Peng, or just because the atmosphere was so depressing that she had to say something.
Mrs. Peng continued to cry without any response. The look of resentment on Geng Shumin's face became much darker, and he clenched his hands tightly.
Not long after, Mrs. Jiang walked in with Geng Xingchen.
According to Jiang's temperament, she was going to say a few words, but seeing Yao's look, she still kept her mouth shut.
She always feels a little weak in front of her second wife. Even if she feels that she cannot rely on her second wife now because of constant analysis and persuasion by her husband and daughter, it may be due to the inertia she left behind before, and she still cannot do it. Yao became tough in front of him.
Half an hour later, the doctor came.
When the doctor saw Geng Xingyu's condition, he shook his head repeatedly and was about to leave. Aunt Peng kowtowed and begged, so the doctor said he was willing to give it a try, but if he couldn't save him, he couldn't be blamed.
Injecting acupuncture, boiling medicine, instilling medicine, feeling the pulse, injecting acupuncture again, and instilling medicine again, until midnight, Geng Xingyu finally recovered his small life.
As for the instigator who made Geng Xingyu hang himself, Geng Cheng did not return home until he was given the second dose of medicine. He smelled of alcohol, and when he learned that Geng Xingyu had committed suicide, his face lost the gentleness and elegance he had always deliberately maintained.
He went directly to the side courtyard and saw a room full of female relatives. He only glanced at it coldly, then walked straight to Aunt Peng and slapped her hard.
Although she was half drunk, both speed and strength were very heavy for Aunt Peng.
In an instant, her left cheek became swollen.
"master!"
"His second uncle!"
Yao, Ruan and Jiang were all shocked by Geng Cheng's behavior and hurriedly came to stop him.
Yao went to pull Geng Cheng's arm first, but she couldn't match Geng Cheng's strength. As soon as Geng Cheng flicked his arm, she was thrown back by him.
Mrs. Ruan and Mrs. Jiang pushed their daughters behind them and ordered the servants in the room, "Don't pull the second master away yet!"
Only then did the servants wake up from a dream, and they all came forward to pull him away, but in this room there was either a mother or a maid, so there was no way they could pull Geng Cheng in.
"Jinbao, come on!"
Jin Bao had been waiting for the girl to say this for a long time. Her fat body was so flexible that no one noticed how she walked up behind Geng Cheng. She stretched her legs, kicked her, buckled her shoulders, pressed her back, and pulled her hair, all at once.
It was Geng Cheng's cry of pain that made everyone come back to their senses. When they looked at it, they saw Geng Cheng lying on the ground in a strange way, while Jin Bao was already far away. To be more careful, he brushed off his clothes. Hidden merit and fame.
Because her movements were so neat and she retreated so quickly, Yao and the others thought she had stepped forward to help him pull him up. Also, Geng Cheng was already half drunk, so they thought he had lost his footing and had fallen. The posture is just a little strange.
Jinbao curled her lips with regret. If she hadn't known about the girl's plan, she wouldn't have been able to hurt the second master now, and she would have just kicked his leg off. But after all, she was a servant of the uncle's house. If she had to do it in front of so many people, If the second master breaks his leg, not only will her life be difficult, but the girl and the first master and his wife will also be implicated. It is better for the girl to do this.
Don't worry, it will be soon anyway.
What's more, although the kick and buckle he just gave did not leave any obvious injuries, the second master can't even think about resting tonight, it hurts him to death!
Thinking of this, Jin Bao became satisfied again and planned to share this matter with the girl when he returned. It was better to be happy with the girl than to be happy alone.
Fortunately, the fifth girl's life was saved, otherwise even if the second master's legs were kicked off, he would not be happy.
