The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 380: The eldest sister-in-law supports the family (6)
Shi Yi helped him to lie down on the bed. He tried his best to curl up his body, and occasionally one or two coughs escaped from his lips and teeth.
She was worried and was about to go out to ask Yue'er to call a doctor when he grabbed her wrist.
"Husband?" Her eyes were full of panic, eagerness and helplessness.
Wei Yang looked over and saw that her eyes were full of emotions, and her heart was slowly filled with subtle things. He held back the pain and said, "It's okay. Don't let everyone know." Shi
Yi didn't quite understand what he meant. Wasn't it already known to everyone in Dongdu that Wei Yang, the eldest son of the Wei family, would not live past the age of eighteen? Why did he have to hide it and endure it like this? !
Wei Yang found that she had a pair of eyes that were so clear that they could touch the soul. He directly saw her doubts in her eyes.
"This is a time of trouble. The more stable the Wei family is, the better." He pulled her to his side.
In order to make it easier to talk to him, Shi Yiban knelt in front of his bed, staring into his eyes that were slightly disturbed by pain, and whispered, "Is your life not important?"
She didn't understand, could the eyes of outsiders be more important than this living life! It is true that the Wei Mansion is in a precarious situation now and needs a strong head of the family to support it, but he is only seventeen years old and has a weak condition brought from his mother. Why should he endure it alone!
Wei Yang looked at his newlywed wife, her eyes were stained with anger at this time. For a moment, it reminded him of the folk rumor that the eldest lady of the Censorate was as calm and quiet as a wooden man. This is a second person who is different from the legendary one!
"Don't stop me, I'll call the palace doctor for you." Shi Yi was not afraid of his gaze, and even took the initiative to meet him, took the initiative to pull off his wrist and was about to go out.
Wei Yang looked at her carefree look, and somehow, his heart softened, and he called out, "My wife." Shi
Yi looked back at him, her nose a little sour, and said in a muffled voice, "You can't stop me. You are my husband. I don't care what happens in the Wei Mansion, but I want you to live."
"You don't have to waste your time." Wei Yang looked at his wife with a gentle look that he had never shown to outsiders, his eyes clear, "Really, don't waste your time."
"I will call the doctor no matter what you say today." His eyes were so gentle and clear, but Shi Yi saw a kind of resigned despair. He should have been a brilliant and talented man, but he was bound by this weak and sick body, and he might not even live past eighteen. What kind of psychological destruction is this to a person! To the point that the patient himself doesn't care about his own body!
She raised her foot to rush out, but was stopped by his next words.
"There is no cure for my illness."
"Why?" She turned to look at him in panic and repeated, "What's wrong?"
"I was poisoned. I had it in my mother's womb." Wei Yang looked at her tenderly and smiled, completely free of the previous alienation, as relaxed as if he was a bystander.
Shi Yi opened her mouth slightly, her thoughts were complicated and confused. She wanted to ask something, but couldn't ask it.
Wei Yang found that it was not that difficult to tell the truth to people. Especially when facing his nominal wife. He simply repeated the reason for his "illness".
The nobles of the family, the inner house struggle is the most brutal. Even the Lord Wei who only married a wife, there are many concubines given by the elders to serve him. The common people girl who had never been exposed to the life of the inner house was favored by the Lord Wei and sat on the position of the wife, and she was pregnant in one fell swoop. She was guilty of having a treasure in her possession and had long been a thorn in the eyes of everyone in the mansion, and they wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. The common woman thought that the concubines were sincere in their kindness to her, so she was not on guard in everything. However, she became someone else's prey from the moment she entered the mansion. A small amount of poison was added to her daily meals. When she gave birth, these poisons would kill her. The poison in her body was naturally absorbed by the child in her body. Fortunately, the child was lucky and was saved by a miracle doctor who happened to pass by, but it could not last long. Such a big scandal in the Wei Mansion was naturally kept secret. When the poisoned child was young, he complained about the world and had no good body. As time went by, he accepted his fate.
"Where is the miracle doctor? Can't we find a miracle doctor?" Shi Yi knelt in front of his bed again, grabbed his hand and put it on her cheek.
She didn't know how much pain the boy lying on the bed had experienced to be calm as he talked about today. But since she came and married him, she could never watch him die. There must be a way! He was poisoned, and there must be an antidote for the poison!
Wei Yang noticed her inner fluctuations. He couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment, but he was definitely happy.
He had always endured his pain silently by himself. Even his dear father, at most, just whispered to himself to be patient. But she, a woman who had only met him a few times, actually worried so much about his life! But the miracle doctor had no fixed place to stay, so how could he be easily found!
"Husband, thank you for telling me this." Fearing that it would affect his mood, Shi Yi quickly changed her expression, raised her smiling face, and rubbed his hand intimately. For
someone like Wei Yang to tell her this, it was already a great trust. He trusted himself, and that was enough.
It was rumored that Wei Yang, who would not live past eighteen, would not have concubines by his side, so Shi Yi was the first woman he came into contact with. She now faced him with such an attitude, which made his whole face red. He
was just a 17-year-old boy, but he had already experienced so many twists and turns, and was tortured by pain all the time. Now he had to face the mess of the Wei Mansion. Shi Yi felt pity in her heart, she reached out and touched his cheek, and said solemnly: "Husband, please believe me. I will find you the miracle doctor no matter what happens."
Her expression was so resolute and solemn that Wei Yang did not dare to look down on her. According to his original idea, the eldest daughter of Gu Yushi's mansion could run away from marriage, and his sickly body should not have delayed others. What's more, the Wei family was now avoided by everyone, and it was good enough that Gu Yushi's mansion did not take advantage of the situation and step on them. But she married into the Wei mansion, became his wife, sat on his bed, lay beside him, and now held his hand so solemnly to promise. He suddenly wanted to believe her words.
His empty heart was suddenly filled with heaviness. This feeling seemed not bad.
He exhaled a long breath and said, "Water."
He had been thirsty for a long time.
"I'll pour it for you right away. Be careful when lying down." Shi Yi hurriedly let go of his hand.
