Chapter 273 The woman called the general her husband.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Old Madam Ning was stunned.
"What?"
Ning Guohou lost his composure and knocked over the teacup that the maid had brought to him not long ago, soaking his body.
"Guizhi is fine?"
He looked at the maid on the ground anxiously: "Say it again!"
Ning Suchan's fingertips were trembling. In addition to disbelief, she also knew that the servant would never lie to her about such a thing.
She struggled to support herself and was about to get off the bed.
"Madam, please go slowly."
Ning Suchan hadn't gotten off the bed for a long time, and she felt dizzy when she got up suddenly.
Fortunately, the maid held her steadily.
Old Madam Ning seemed to have just woken up from a dream. In her excitement, she did not forget to instruct: "It's cold outside, why don't you put on your master's coat quickly."
Ning Suchan didn't care about anything else. With the help of the maid, she strode forward.
This was the first time she had walked out of the hospital after many months.
She raised her hand to block the glaring light, but her steps did not stop.
It was like walking on clouds, with every step she took, she staggered, and she was afraid that this was a dream, afraid that if she fell, everything would be fake.
She couldn't bear it anymore.
A walking corpse, she would go crazy sooner or later.
Passing through the hanging flower gate, along the winding corridor, a group of people followed behind her.
But all the way to the door, she didn't see anyone.
The housekeeper of Shunguo Mansion saw her coming and hurried forward.
"Madam."
He said hurriedly without waiting for Ning Suchan to ask.
"Don't worry, the general is back, there is no doubt about it."
"But he didn't stay in the mansion for too long. He told the old servant a few words and then went to the palace to apologize."
Ning Suchan, who was looking back and forth, froze.
Ning Guohou nodded upon hearing this: "That's what we should do, that's what we should do."
"The funeral of Guizhi was held by the royal family... It's a good thing that he's back, but it's been more than half a year since the accident, and he's only come back. Even if there's something hidden, it's still deceiving the emperor."
"We can't let the emperor know that he's back, but Guizhi hasn't entered the palace."
Ning Suchan understood the reason. She always valued the rules of respect and inferiority, and always acted flawlessly, so that no
one could find fault with him. But she couldn't let go of the worry in her heart without seeing him, without seeing Wei Zhao standing in front of her.
She took a deep breath. She
no longer had the calm demeanor she had before.
"Is he okay?"
"He must have suffered a lot since the accident."
"If he's alive, why didn't you send someone to send a letter back before?"
The soldiers who came to report the death said that Wei Zhao was stabbed in the heart with a sharp weapon, and his back was pierced.
When she heard this, she fainted.
Although she didn't know how she got the wrong person, she knew without thinking that this injury would be difficult to heal.
The housekeeper did not dare to hide the truth and whispered, "The general's face is very pale, and even his speech is very strenuous."
"He looks much thinner and can't even stand steadily."
Ning Suchan's heart was broken.
Old Lady Ning: "Swords and knives are blind on the battlefield. It's a blessing for the child to be alive. Just raise him slowly at home in the future. He will always be well."
Ning Suchan looked straight at the housekeeper: "Did he leave any message?"
The housekeeper: "The general left in a hurry, so he didn't leave any message. "
Ning Suchan was a little disappointed.
But it was also true that she and Wei Zhao's mother and son had always said little.
Perhaps seeing her mood, Ning Guohou said in a gentle voice: "Wait until he comes back to talk slowly. You and your son have plenty of time. Besides, Guizhi has always respected you."
The two words respect and closeness are very different, like a sharp dagger, enough to make Ning Suchan bleed.
After experiencing a life-and-death separation, she didn't know whether the harshness and severity over the years were right or wrong.
But she regretted it.
"Suchan, you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of him."
Ning Guohou: "Now that he has entered the palace, I don't know when he will come back. It's windy here, you can go back and wait."
Ning Suchan shook her head.
"No."
"I'm here."
Finally, there was a very light smile on her pale face, but her eyes were red.
"Open the main door and wait for my son to come back."
Mrs. Ning saw that she was no longer lifeless and wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes.
"Okay."
"Mother will wait with you."
Ning Suchan was not idle. She was like a person who almost drowned and finally got a breath. She ordered the servants to replace the white silk and white lanterns, which were unlucky.
She asked about Wei Zhao in detail.
The housekeeper did not mention that the general had asked him to find a remote courtyard for the unconscious patient to stay, and said that he was afraid of seeing strangers, so he sent a capable and reliable woman to take care of him.
The housekeeper did not know who the patient was.
But Wei Zhao always had his reasons for doing things.
The housekeeper felt that this matter was not important. What was important was...
His face became strange.
"The general came back this time and brought back a woman."
The housekeeper revealed: "She is very beautiful. It is difficult for this old servant to stare at her, but I always feel that she is familiar."
Ning Suchan was puzzled.
After all, her son is not interested in women, and would never bring a girl home for no reason.
"Where is she? Bring her here so I can see her."
"Took her away."
Took her away
? Took her to the palace?
I'm afraid not.
Old Lady Ning guessed: "Since you feel familiar with her, she must be the daughter of some family. Could it be that you are just taking a ride, and the two families have some friendship?"
However, she changed the subject.
People are in high spirits when they are happy, and her mind is also active.
"It's not that there were no girls who wanted to get close to Guizhi by taking advantage of their friendship, but they were rejected one by one. It's rare now."
"Could it be that this child has become smart?"
She was delighted: "It's time for this family to have a wedding."
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "The girl has her hair tied up."
Although it was tied up a little loosely.
But this is clearly tied up by married women.
How could the housekeeper know that it was Wei Zhao who combed Yu Tingwan's hair.
There are no rules in a small place like Ze County, and it's okay if you don't tie your hair up. But you have to be careful when going to Beijing.
Yu Tingwan had originally wanted to tie her hair up. But on the way on the boat, Wei Zhao started playing with her ivory comb.
The man opened his eyelids.
——"You've taken advantage of everything, so take some responsibility."
He said in a neutral tone.
——"When will you tie my hair up for me and give me a legitimate status?"
Madam Ning said regretfully.
She's married.
She was overthinking it.
The housekeeper frowned.
"But the two of them are very intimate."
"I don't know if it's because my eyes are blurry and I saw it wrong, or..."
But when Wei Zhao spoke to the woman, his voice was obviously more than one degree softer! As
soon as he said this, no one believed it.
The old woman guarding the gatehouse hesitated.
Perhaps she couldn't help it, so she came over and kowtowed.
"The housekeeper is right."
"I was the first one to see the general. It was the woman who helped him get off the carriage."
"I was afraid she would have a hard time, so I was about to go over to help, but the general didn't let me. The housekeeper hadn't arrived yet. I saw it all with my own eyes.
"The general touched the woman's hand and asked her if she was cold. She was very fond of her."
The old woman's eyes were wide open, and she spoke quickly, but her words were clear.
"The woman even called our general her husband!"
