Chapter 32 Chapter 32 First Release
Wuxucong spoke in a hurried voice, with obvious anxiety and worry on his face.
Seeing that Wu Jingxun was not as anxious and flustered as he had expected, Wu Xucong frowned and pulled her wrist, which was hanging by her side. "Father is very angry. The house is in a mess. You can't rest well. Come with me first..."
He was in a state of anxiety and confusion, and his hands became stronger, causing the snow-white silk cloth hidden under the green sleeves to slowly become stained with blood.
Wu Jingxun pulled his hand back, choking under the accusatory gaze of Wu Xucong, which he himself might not have noticed. Then he said calmly, "I just got back and I'm exhausted. Brother, can't you let me rest for a while before going over?"
She was naturally nervous about Shunhua's current state, but she said this sentence for some unknown reason, as if she was expecting a response that was impossible to come.
"Quietly searching."
As expected, Wuxu Cong frowned, looking at her with a look of disapproval and disappointment. "I know you may be a little tired now, but Shunhua is our sister. She has always been lively and cheerful, unlike you. She can't bear this sudden slander and disaster. Shouldn't we comfort her in time?"
He still said it.
Seeing the sudden smile on Wu Jingxun's face, Wu Xucong felt that she was being unreasonable today. He said coldly, "Jingxun, you used to be the most obedient and sensible one. Why are you being so unreasonable today?"
"Could it be that your marriage to Prince Pei is approaching, and you feel that the people and things in this family are no longer important?"
The disappointment and faint contempt revealed in Wu Xucong's eyes did not seem fake. Wu Jingxun suddenly became curious about what kind of existence she was in the hearts of him, A Niang, and A Ye.
The most obedient and sensible. This is how her brothers describe her.
She is lively and loves to laugh, and cannot bear the disaster of slander, so my brother is really worried about Shunhua.
What about her?
"Because I have no temper and always obey, my brother is just like my mother. On the surface, he dislikes my dull personality and lack of independent thinking, but in fact, he secretly rejoices that I am weak and easy to control, and he will take advantage of me without mercy when it is necessary." Wu Jingxun looked at him with the same cold eyes, "Just like now, isn't it?"
Wu Xucong had never seen such a cold and disappointed expression on his sister's face, nor had he ever heard her speak to him in such a tone.
After he was stunned for a moment, he immediately felt embarrassed and...angry.
Looking at Wu Xucong's ashen face, Wu Jingxun's butterfly-like eyelashes drooped slightly, and she saw his clenched fists again.
She suddenly felt tired and bored.
What's the point? Those who won't change still won't change.
"I will go to Tangyuyuan, but not with you, brother." Wu Jingxun turned around and pulled the corners of his mouth with some difficulty under the worried and encouraging eyes of Ziping and Cuiping. "At least now, I don't want to see you."
I don't want to see my brother being the same as my mother, or even more hypocritical than her.
Wu Xucong stood there, looking at her back, pursing his lips a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but Wu Jingxun did not turn around. She was really tired now and wanted to have a good sleep.
He hesitated for a moment, but thinking of the anxiety and panic of the maidservant beside Shunhua when she came to report, he hurried to Tangyuyuan.
Back in the house, Zi Ping silently took Wu Jingxun's hand, her movements as gentle as possible. But seeing the scarlet stain on the snow-white silk cloth, she couldn't help crying as she spoke: "Eldest Master is really something, you are still injured... He didn't ask a word, he only thought about Second Madam. You are obviously his biological sister, where has his heart gone?"
"It's okay. Just sprinkle some more medicine powder on it and re-bandage it." Wu Jingxun's voice was very low. She had been busy all day, preparing for the Flower God Festival, and was also worried that Pei Huaiguang might have thoughts about her that he shouldn't have. Stimulated by today's events, she felt an endless fatigue surging from deep within her body, making her want to throw away everything in the world and enter a pure white dream.
The powder on the wound was a bit painful, but Wu Jingxun didn't react. She frowned and slept unsteadily. Cuiping wiped her tears and said, "Why should I stay in this family? I really hope my wife can get married soon. It's better than watching my own mother and brother constantly showing favoritism."
If it's true as the rumors say, that the Second Lady isn't the Master's biological daughter, and the Master knows he's been a cuckold for so many years, but still accepts it, and treats the Second Lady much better than their wives...
Cuiping felt heartbroken for her wife just thinking about it.
Ziping gently re-bandaged Wu Jingxun, lowered the gauze curtain to block out the light from the outside, and allowed the exhausted girl to finally have a good sleep.
"Stop talking and go."
Their task today is to guard the door and prevent anyone from disturbing the lady's sleep.
Over at Tangyu Courtyard, Wu Shunhua was playing with a whip in the yard. When he heard the maid come to report that Wu Xucong had arrived, he was a little surprised: "Brother."
Wu Xucong saw that her voice was not as clear as before, but weak, and felt a little distressed: "I originally wanted to come with Jingxun to see her, but she must have been too frightened today and was not in a good mood, so she didn't come with me."
Although Jingxun was completely confused about priorities today, Wuxucong subconsciously smoothed things over for her to avoid creating a rift between the sisters.
Wu Shunhua threw the whip in his hand and said, "Sister Mu Tou is back?"
The maid beside her hurriedly explained, "I just returned. I heard that the Madam seemed to have been injured. The people from Yuzhaoyuan went to the pharmacy in the mansion to get a lot of skin-soothing ointment. I thought the Madam needed to heal her injuries and rest first, so I didn't tell you."
Jingxun was injured.
Wu Shunhua looked at Wu Xucong who was also surprised and frowned: "Brother, you just came from Sister Mu Tou's place. Have you seen her? How is her injury? Is it serious?" Because she has been practicing martial arts for many years, the ointments for treating bruises and injuries in her house are probably more than those in the pharmacy in the mansion. Even Wu Xucong brought back a few bottles of effective medicine for injuries when he was studying abroad.
Wuxucong was silent for a moment.
Wu Shunhua was feeling confused, so he went to see her and mentioned it to Wu Xucong. Then the brother and sister went to Yuzhaoyuan together.
But was turned away.
Wu Shunhua lifted the bag in his hand and said, "Then take these medicines in." Such smooth skin must not be left with scars.
Cuiping lowered her head and said thank you. Wu Shunhua looked through the open door at the closed main house, then left with a depressed look.
Seeing Wuxucong still standing there, Cuiping chuckled twice: "Sir, isn't the eldest master going to take care of the second lady? He's already gone a long way, why haven't you caught up with him yet?"
Hearing the sarcastic tone in the maid's words, Wuxucong was silent for a moment before saying, "Tell Jingxun to have a good rest. When she feels better, I will come back to apologize to her."
He was a little confused today and didn't notice that Jingxun was injured. It was his fault as an older brother.
Watching Wuxucong hurriedly chasing Wushunhua, Cuiping spat.
·
Wu Jingxun woke up and found the tent dark. She suddenly felt as if she didn't know what day it was.
Cuiping and the others heard the noise and knew she was awake. They twisted her handkerchief and served her meat porridge. They were so attentive that even Wu Jingxun, who was originally in a bad mood, smiled: "It's just a few minor injuries. How can she be so fragile?"
They feel sorry for their daughter. It's not enough that she is hurt by bad guys outside, but she is also ignored by her so-called relatives at home.
The eldest son at least came once, but Madam Tong never showed up once from beginning to end.
Wu Jingxun quietly finished a bowl of porridge. Cuiping showed her the ointment that Wu Shunhua had brought. Wu Jingxun only hummed and said, "Put it away."
Cui Ping said with a smile, "We don't need what others have used! Prince Pei sent us some special things, including ointments and supplements. Now others are the only ones who envy you, my lady."
Was it sent by Prince Pei? Wu Jingxun took a look at it and silently pondered what gift to return.
Seeing that her mistress was still in a bad mood, Cuiping patted her forehead and brought over another small box. "This was also left at the gatehouse by someone, saying it was a gift for her. But it looks like a tattered little jar to me. Could someone be teasing us on purpose?"
"Bring it here so I can see it."
The small jar was painted with mysterious and ancient patterns, and it looked a bit tattered. Wu Jingxun tried to open the lid, and a familiar bitter herbal scent wafted from inside.
She seemed to know who sent it.
"Put it away." Wu Jingxun didn't have the mind to deal with those things that made her feel upset just thinking about them.
The night was dark. Wu Jingxun had a deep sleep before, but now he was alert. He asked Zi Ping and the other two who had stayed in the mansion what had happened in Feng Pingyuan.
Cui Ping curled her lips. "Madam Sun's cousin came to visit, and since the master wasn't home, Madam Sun brought him to her own courtyard. Somehow, our Madam suddenly rushed over, claiming that the two were having an affair, and that the adulterer had come to the house specifically to rekindle an old flame... Madam Sun didn't refute it. She sneered and said that if Madam had the guts, she could ask the master to divorce her. Then they started arguing, and Madam Sun called over the midwife who had previously helped Madam Sun give birth. She said that something was wrong with the Second Madam's birth date, and that the Second Madam's biological father was someone else."
How could Mrs. Tong know all this? Influenced by past events, she always felt that others would laugh at her for becoming a concubine instead of a legal wife. She was reluctant to go out and socialize, and naturally, she rarely came into contact with the outside world.
This time, the force was so fierce that Wu Jingxun seemed to see a malicious black shadow behind her.
Who could it be?
·
The Wu family's affairs were originally a family affair, but as the future in-laws, the Pingning Marquis' Mansion naturally had more information than others.
That day, Pei Jinguang went to pay his respects to Madam Qiong. He thought it would be another one-man show, but Madam Qiong put down her teacup and said something unexpected: "The Wu family is too chaotic. How can a woman from the Wu family be qualified to serve as a concubine in the Marquis of Pingning's mansion?"
Pei Jinguang's face was as pale as the frost on the branches. "I have eyes and ears, and I know how to judge people. Mother saw her in person at the last banquet, so she should know that she is a very good girl."
Seeing that he was determined not to be shaken, Mrs. Qiong gave up trying to persuade him: "Forget it, it's up to you."
She didn't care who would be the next mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. She just wanted to see Erlang get married and have children safely in the future.
Pei Jinguang walked out the door, only to see Pei Huaiguang leaning against it, his eyes gleaming. "If you care about these rumors, why not let me share your worries?"
Pei Jinguang stopped and smiled: "You wish."
