Xu Wanning was overjoyed after hearing what Chen Wang said.
"Really both legs are broken?"
"Well, what Dr. Jia went to see was that they were all bandaged up and both legs were completely broken." Chen Wang said, holding back a smile.
Doctor Jia's method is really good. It not only prevents them from going to Zhuangzi to cause trouble for the lady, but also prevents them from noticing Ji Xiang's disappearance.
"He has been injured for a hundred days, and if he doesn't lie down for half a year, he won't be able to get up."
"It's best if you don't get up." Qingxing clicked her tongue twice, "He won't come to the lady's yard anyway, so now you don't have to worry about him betraying the lady."
Hongmei glanced at her with helplessness in her eyes.
She was the only one who didn't know that Cui Yunfeng had betrayed the young lady a long time ago.
Chen Wang also glanced at Qing Xing, his eyes full of affection.
She was the only one with a smile that he liked.
If you love someone, how can you be willing to betray her?
In this life, even if he dies, he will never betray Qing Xing!
Xu Wanjing quietly looked at the unknown wild flowers still blooming vigorously on the windowsill.
Cui Lu will be back soon. After learning about the affairs of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, he is afraid that he will be given a slap in the face.
He is looking for trouble for him, and he is also going to give him some trouble.
"Call Chen Mianmian over." Xu Wanning already made arrangements.
Mrs. Du must never regret pushing her man into the arms of another woman.
She was right.
That night, Cui Lu arrived at the mansion and heard everything.
My son’s leg is broken!
My wife has a dirty reputation as a thief!
My daughter-in-law is having an affair with a foreign man!
"This is all the fault of Xu Wanning's broken shoes. If it hadn't been for her, so many things wouldn't have happened in our house!" As expected, Mrs. Du put all the blame on Xu Wanning: "Mr. Hou, you must never Don’t spare her, it’s all her fault!”
Cui Lu was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. The superior's dignity forced Aunt Chun and other subordinates not to dare to look directly at him.
"I'll go to Zhuangzi right away and tie up that bitch myself." Cui Lu didn't even sit down or take a sip of water. He got back on the carriage and galloped away in the direction of Zhuangzi.
Although his carriage was fast, when he arrived at Zhuangzi, it was already completely quiet and late at night.
"Knock on the door." Cui Lu's face was darker than the night, and his voice was cold. The entourage did not dare to neglect, and quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door with all his strength.
"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang..."
The silent night was torn apart by the sound of banging on the door.
Next, the lights came on and the sounds started.
Chen Ming didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he took off his shoes and hurried outside. When he saw Cui Lu, he started crying before he could speak, "Master Marquis, you are finally here."
Cui Lu didn't speak to him and strode towards the yard where Xu Wanning lived.
Chen Ming pouted proudly and followed behind.
"Have you seen the man who came to stay overnight?"
"I've seen him before." Chen Ming nodded immediately: "I can recognize him even if he is burned to ashes."
"That's good." Cui Lu's face was gloomy: "If you want her to die, you have to give her a reason to die."
This was a hard word to say, but Chen Ming understood the words "want her to die".
enough.
The gate of the courtyard where Xu Wanning lived was closed tightly, and the house was quiet with no movement at all.
The veins on Cui Lu's head popped out.
The Hou Mansion was about to turn upside down, but she could still sleep.
Cui Lu stretched out his hand to knock on the door. Chen Ming remembered his daughter's instructions and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Master Hou, no!"
"Why not?"
"It's unreasonable to wake up late at night. If this matter spreads, it will be harmful to the reputation of the Marquis!" Chen Ming quickly followed his daughter's words.
Although he didn't know why his daughter expected this, Chen Ming was very happy to help the Marquis.
Only then did Cui Lu regain his composure.
Yes, why didn’t he think of that!
He could break down the door, but he couldn't break down his daughter-in-law's door. If word got out about his daughter-in-law's door in the middle of the night, Cui Lu would lose his face.
Cui Lu came with a ball of anger, but at this moment he had to suppress the fire, Cui Lu was extremely unhappy.
"Let's do this tonight. I'm a little tired too." After Cui Lu finished speaking, he turned a corner and walked towards his yard.
When Chen Ming saw Cui Lu listening to his words, he felt proud and wanted to follow behind and continue to flatter him: "I will wait for the Marquis to wash and change clothes."
"No need." Cui Lu waved his hand: "Just ask someone to bring me a basin of hot water."
"Okay." Chen Ming quickly went down to find someone to boil water.
In the courtyard separated by a wall, Xu Wanning held her breath and listened to the movement outside. When she heard footsteps walking away, Xu Wanning lay down peacefully.
There are some things she can't do, but Chen Mianmian can do them.
Chen Ming will always listen to his daughter.
Cui Lu has such a good reputation, if he really smashes his daughter-in-law's door in the middle of the night, the news will spread...
Xu Wanning hugged the quilt and smiled happily.
Let’s look at Chen Mianmian next.
Cui Lu returned to his yard angrily. When he saw the light inside, he thought Chen Ming had arranged everything in advance and entered the yard with satisfaction.
First I went to the table and drank a cup of tea.
The tea was still hot, his favorite Dahongpao. After taking a sip, all the anger lingering in his body disappeared along with the sip of hot tea.
Hot water has been prepared in the basin long ago, and it is filled with steam.
After drinking the tea, Cui Lu walked to the basin again, washed his hands and face with warm water.
After washing away the dust and dust along the way, he felt refreshed and went to drink half a cup of tea. When the tea was finished, Cui Lu began to take off his clothes and plan to rest.
The man had already sat by the bed and was about to take off his shoes and socks to go to sleep. There was a knock on the door, "Master Marquis, the slave has brought water."
Cui Lu didn't think much, "Come in."
A graceful woman came in with a basin of water, went straight to the bed, and picked up Cui Lu's shoes and socks. Cui Lu was not surprised and allowed her to serve her.
Soaking his feet in the warm water basin, pressing the acupuncture points on the soles of his feet with his slender fingers, Cui Lu sighed with satisfaction, "It feels good."
The woman smiled and said, "Master Hou, you have had a hard journey. Soaking your feet will help you sleep."
Cui Lu heard the voice sounded familiar and looked at it intently.
The woman squatted and could only see her beautiful profile: "Mianmian, why is it you?"
After all, Chen Mianmian was also the daughter of Zhuangzi's superior steward. Naturally, such menial work would be done by servants. Cui Lu was puzzled.
"They all fell asleep, Mianmian couldn't sleep." Chen Mianmian lowered her head, held Cui Lu's feet in her arms, bent her index finger, and gently pressed on the soles of the feet.
He didn't know which part he was pressing, but Cui Lu's whole body trembled, "Why can't you sleep?"
Chen Mianmian said nothing. She glanced at Cui Lu affectionately with her almond-shaped eyes, and then lowered her head.
At that glance, Cui Lu's blood surged and his breathing began to stagnate.
"Mianmian has been thinking about something these past few days, so she can't sleep." Chen Mianmian said.
Cui Lu followed her words and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Chen Mianmian hugged Cui Lu's feet, placed them on her heart, rubbed them gently with both hands, then raised her head and said word by word: "Mianmian is wondering when the Marquis will come."
Cui Lu: "..."
The soles of his feet were itchy, and so was his heart.
But Chen Mianmian wiped his feet and left with the basin.
The room became quiet again.
Cui Lu looked at his red feet that had been rubbed. The warmth and strength of the woman's little hands seemed to still linger on them, as well as the little girl's words.
Mianmian was wondering when the Marquis would come.
Was she expecting her to come?
Cui Lu lay down.
Maybe it was because Xu Wanning's incident made him so angry, or maybe it was because of the big red robe, Cui Lu didn't sleep all night.
