Chapter 238 Chen Zhao was released and lost his sight again
The wind blew against the windows.
There were only two people left in the huge study.
Yi Hui moved his neck and asked in surprise, "Where is Yuyu?"
Liu'er brought a cup of hot tea, walked behind the wooden chair, and massaged the lady's sore shoulders.
"The young lady went to see her godmother."
"Godmother?" Yi Hui was surprised. He had never thought there was such a thing as a godmother. "I didn't know about this. Tell me about it quickly. Don't be so embarrassed. Don't think I'm unhappy. I'm very happy to have someone to love Yuyu together."
Liu Er said in embarrassment: "It's not that I'm afraid you'll be jealous because I have a new godmother, but I'm afraid you'll feel sad when you hear about my lady's past life."
Hearing this, Yi Hui couldn't miss it.
She grabbed Liu'er's hand: "Tell me quickly!"
Liu'er narrated the story: "This godmother is actually the young lady's mother-in-law. The young lady had a hard life, but she was kind-hearted. One time, she saved a hunter in the mountains. His name was Chen Zhao. Later, the two got married, but that night, Chen Zhao was captured. The young lady was a widow for a year and was often bullied by her brother and his wife..."
——
In prison.
An imperial edict from Shengjing arrived at the Suming County Prison. After Zhang Tu finished reading out Chen Zhao's execution, he sneered, "General Chen, oh no, Chen Zhao, hurry up and continue. This is probably the last imperial edict you'll ever receive, but please don't hang it on the wall. It can't be so dazzling, it's embarrassing!"
Chen Zhao was covered in blood and dirt.
He limped out holding the imperial edict, surrounded by people mocking him and looking down on him. He had never seen such expressions in his life. Even when he was a hunter, he didn't get so many cold stares.
"Shut up!" he shouted, grabbing a bailiff.
The bailiff was stunned and looked at the county magistrate. Seeing that he closed his eyes and turned away, he immediately clenched his fist and hit back. He rode on Chen Zhao.
Keep greeting him in the face.
"You bastard, you became a general by relying on a woman, and you have the nerve to hit me?"
It was unknown how long it took before Chen Zhao woke up. He smelled a strong smell of blood, got up from the ground, looked around, and his mind went blank.
Eyes darting left and right.
Suddenly, looking at the scar on his wrist, he laughed wildly: "Hahahaha!"
Zhang Tu frowned: "Is he crazy? Get him out now! It's bad luck."
The bailiff pushed Chen Zhao out and closed the door.
"Zhao'er!" Mrs. Lu ran up and shouted, "Look at you, you've suffered so much. Are we going to change our careers from now on?"
Zheng Rouer knelt on the ground, hugging his legs.
"Brother Chen Zhao, even if you're no longer a general, I won't abandon you! Let's go home and live a good life, okay?"
Suddenly, Chen Zhao came to his senses and pushed Zheng Rouer away. He frowned and said, "Miss Zheng, stop making trouble. I already have a fiancée and we will get married after the new year."
"Bai Luoxue has already left!" Zheng Rouer said jealously.
Chen Zhao said seriously, "What nonsense are you talking about? My fiancée is Jiusu! I don't even know Bai Luoxue."
Jiusu in the crowd.
"?"
Jiang Jing's eyes darkened slightly, and he said, "Either he's pretending, or he's really stupid."
Mrs. Lu seemed to have noticed something and stared at her son's face for a long time. She sighed deeply, took his wrist and said, "Zhao'er, come home with me."
Seeing Jiusu in the crowd, he smiled at her.
It seems to be saying: Don't worry.
Chen Zhao didn't move. He said, "I'm going to buy a hairpin for Su'er."
"Zhao'er, there's something I want to tell you." Mrs. Lu's eyes moistened. She finally accepted that her son had gone insane. She said, "Su'er's mother has passed away. She can't marry you. Come home."
Chen Zhao shook his head and said, "I can wait for her."
Looking at the backs of the three people leaving.
Jiusu pursed her lips and said.
"ill."
“…”
Returning to the Chen family's house, Chen Zhao looked at the faded "喜" character on the house and gently peeled it off. The past memories flooded into his body like an electric shock.
"I."
I was speechless for a long time.
Mrs. Lu and Zheng Rouer looked at him worriedly. They didn't speak until he came to his senses. Mrs. Lu said, "Zhao'er, listen to your mother and don't do anything wrong again, okay?"
Chen Zhao lowered his head and looked at the wedding character that was blown away by the wind and fell into the mud. He picked it up carefully and held it tightly against his chest.
"I don't know why it turned out like this. Mom, can you ask her to come home?"
"No." Mrs. Lu refused directly. She rubbed her strained waist and slowly walked towards the kitchen. "She doesn't like you, so let's not make things difficult for her anymore. Zhao'er, start a new life!"
Chen Zhao knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"Nothing is left..."
There was a light rain, which fell on his body. Complex emotions kept intertwining. Mrs. Lu looked at the two people in the yard and closed her eyes.
She saw the old scene again.
Suddenly, my eyes felt a stinging pain.
"hiss."
My head felt heavy and I had no one to hold on to, so I fell directly to the ground.
Chen Zhao yelled, "Mom!"
He helped Lu up, held her hand, and asked, "What's wrong? Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Wu and the other man also came over when they heard the sound. They put their hands in their sleeves and leaned against the door to watch the show. There was no fear or respect in their eyes.
Those sneering sounds converged into two words.
"waste."
Lu said, "I seem to be unable to see."
"What?" Chen Zhao was stunned. Suddenly, he slapped himself. "It's all my fault for doing so many bad things. But why should my mother be the one to pay for my sins?"
Chen Wu cursed, "You might as well just die."
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes, picked up the knife on the table, pressed it against Chen Wu's neck, and threatened: "If you hadn't stayed at home every day and done nothing, Dad wouldn't have died, and Mom wouldn't be so tired!"
"I am your brother, how dare you kill me?"
"I've lost my son, how can I not dare to kill you!?"
Chen Wu lost his temper instantly. His legs softened and he clasped his hands together and said, "Brother, I was wrong. I will work hard in the future to support you two."
He kicked Sun Mei.
"Go and get the silver."
Sun Mei reluctantly took out the silver from the house and said, "Second brother, this is all our hard-earned money."
Chen Zhao took it without any pressure. He said calmly, "This is all given to you. Go get a doctor."
All the doctors in the village were consulted, but none of them could help. Some people were afraid of death and changed the subject, saying, "Why don't you ask Miss Jiu? She was the one who cured your mother's eyes."
A few words turned the world upside down.
Roll in Chen Zhao's heart.
As soon as he stood up, his mother grabbed his hand. He comforted her, "Mom, don't be afraid. I'll go find Jiusu and ask her to heal your eyes."
Mrs. Lu shook her head, "Don't go to her, she doesn't want to see you."
Chen Zhao was unwilling to say, "No, if you don't go find her, your eyes won't get better."
"I think this is good." Mrs. Lu patted the back of his hand, trying to calm him down. "Before I couldn't see you, I was happy to have you around and filial. Now I can see you, but you're not home. Now I can't see you again, but you're back."
Chen Zhao closed his eyes and shed tears.
Mrs. Lu said, "If you have to lose something, I hope you stay by my side and don't bother Su'er. You both need to start a new life. Promise me, okay?"
"good……"
Chen Zhao rested his forehead on the back of her hand and choked.
