Chapter 642, Anger
Seeing Sun Changze being kicked into the river, Daohua swayed and Xiao Yeyang, who was standing next to her, quickly supported her.
"Xiao Yeyang."
Daohua grabbed Xiao Yeyang's arm tightly, her hands shaking slightly.
She didn't expect that Governor Dong would directly take Sun Changze's life.
Xiao Yeyang supported Daohua and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Hearing this, Daohua calmed herself down, waited for the boat to dock, quickly got off the boat, hurriedly saluted Dong Buzhengshi, and then ran towards the unconscious Dong Yuanyao.
Xiao Yeyang was a great help in finding Dong Yuanyao so quickly. Governor Dong thanked him, said a few words to him, and was about to take Dong Yuanyao back home.
Daohua was worried about Dong Yuanyao, so she followed her to Dong's house.
Yan Wenxiu and Xiao Yeyang had no choice but to go along.
Dong Mansion.
As soon as Dong Yuanyao came back, he started to feel dizzy. His whole body was as hot as a burning charcoal, and he kept calling Sun Changze's name incoherently.
When the Dong family saw this, they felt both distressed and angry.
Old Madam Dong looked at Governor Dong angrily and said, "I won't stop you from punishing Sun Changze, but why did you do it in front of Yuan Yao? Aren't you deliberately trying to kill her?"
Governor Dong felt a little regretful at this time. He was really furious when he found the person, and he never thought that his daughter would be upset.
Mrs. Dong lay in front of the bed, cooling Dong Yuanyao down while crying. She hated Sun Changze in her heart, and was also very angry at her daughter for abandoning her parents and relatives for a man from another world.
Daohua was helping to boil the medicine in the yard. After boiling it, she hurriedly brought it in: "Aunt, the medicine is ready. You take a rest for a while. I will feed it to Yuanyao."
Just as she was about to go to the bedside to give him medicine, Mrs. Dong spoke up, "I don't want to trouble Miss Yan. You're a guest here, and it's not right for me to ask you to take care of a patient. You might get infected. You should go to the guest house to rest."
As he said that, he signaled the maid to take the medicine from Daohua's hand.
Looking at Mrs. Dong's indifferent expression and distant attitude, Daohua was shocked.
Even Mrs. Dong, Governor Dong, and Dong Yuanxuan were extremely surprised.
Mrs. Dong understood her mother-in-law and knew that she was taking her anger out on others again. She wiped the tears from her face, pulled Daohua and said, "Good child, auntie knows you are worried about Yuanyao, but we are here to watch over you. You have been running around all night and I think you must be tired. I will let the maid take you to rest."
Daohua looked at the people in the room, forced a smile and said, "Okay, I won't make trouble here." After that, she turned and left the room.
As soon as they left, Governor Dong looked at Old Lady Dong and said disapprovingly, "Mother, what were you doing just now? The eldest daughter of the Yan family is also concerned about Yuan Yao."
Old Mrs. Dong snorted, "We are not lucky enough to enjoy her care."
Mrs. Dong frowned: "What are you talking about, mother?"
Mrs. Dong looked at Dong Yuanyao lying on the bed with a look of heartache on her face. "Our Yuanyao used to be a little naughty, but most of the time she was polite and sensible. She had never done anything that would bring disgrace to the family. This time she dared to elope with someone. I think she was led astray by those who don't know the rules."
It’s not clear whether Old Lady Dong did it on purpose or not, but she spoke so loudly that Daohua, who was about to leave the yard, could hear it clearly.
Daohua clenched her hands hanging by her side, frowned, and walked away quickly.
Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wenxiu were outsiders, so it was not convenient for them to visit Dong Yuanyao, so they sat in the yard waiting. When they saw Daohua coming out, they hurried over.
Yan Wenxiu: "Big sister, is Sister Dong okay?"
Daohua forced a smile and said, "After drinking the medicine, as long as the fever goes away, everything will be fine."
Xiao Yeyang noticed that Daohua looked unhappy and frowned, "Why didn't you stay with Miss Dong to take care of her?"
Daohua: "Yuanyao is being taken care of by Aunt Dong and the others. I can't disturb her too much at this time."
Xiao Yeyang's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "That's good. You haven't slept a wink since yesterday. Go get some sleep. When you wake up, maybe Miss Dong will be well."
Daohua nodded randomly, then suddenly thought of something and motioned Wang Man'er to take the Dong family maid away. Then she asked in a low voice, "Is Sun Changze okay?"
Xiao Yeyang: "We did pull the person out of the water, but the river water in the dead of winter was freezing cold. Although he didn't die, he lost most of his life."
Daohua breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that he's not dead. If Sun Changze really died, Yuan Yao would probably live in regret and self-blame for the rest of her life."
Yan Wenxiu interrupted, "I used to think Sun Changze was a good guy, but he actually tricked a girl into elopement. How audacious!"
Daohua didn't want to comment on this matter, so she lowered her head and said nothing.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Xiao Yeyang said, "Go and have a rest."
Daohua nodded and followed the Dong family's maid to the guest house to rest.
After lying down on the bed, Daohua couldn't sleep. Thinking of Old Mrs. Dong's attitude towards her during her last two visits to the Dong family, she felt a little blocked in her heart. She tossed and turned for a long time before she fell asleep in a daze.
I slept until dark.
When Daohua woke up, she saw that it was already dark, and hurriedly asked Wang Maner, "Is Yuanyao awake?"
Wang Maner nodded: "I woke up. After drinking the medicine you prepared this morning, I woke up at noon. I seemed to fall asleep again after drinking the medicine in the afternoon. I don't know if I'm awake now?"
Daohua stood up and washed up casually: "I'll go take a look."
Wang Man'er moved her lips. She had also heard what Old Lady Dong said this morning. She felt sorry for her daughter. How could she be blamed for Miss Dong eloping with someone else? She even said that the daughter was ignorant of etiquette.
To get from the guest house to Dong Yuanyao's yard, one has to pass through Old Lady Dong's yard. When Daohua and Wang Man'er passed by, they happened to see several burly old women dragging two maids who were beaten to a bloody pulp out of the yard.
After seeing the maid's face clearly, Wang Man'er suddenly covered her mouth, for she was afraid that she would scream.
They are Miss Dong’s personal maids, Hongyu and Hongfang!
Daohua stared blankly at the two people who were being dragged away like dead objects. Her body felt a little cold. After a while, she stiffly withdrew her gaze and continued walking towards Dong Yuanyao's yard.
When she arrived at Dong Yuanyao's yard, Daohua took a few deep breaths, and after calming down, she walked in with a smile.
But within one day, all the maids and old women in Dong Yuanyao's yard were replaced.
Looking at the strange maid who blocked her from entering the house, Daohua's face was not very good. After enduring for a long time, she asked with a forced smile, "Why, can't I go in and see Yuanyao?"
The maid lowered her head and said, "Miss Yan, please don't embarrass us."
At this time, the nanny beside Old Lady Dong came over and looked at Daohua with a smile: "Miss Yan, the old lady wants to invite you over to talk for a while."
Daohua glanced at the closed door, was silent for a while, turned around and followed the nanny to Old Lady Dong's yard.
"old lady!"
Daohua bowed to Mrs. Dong, then looked up at her.
Old Mrs. Dong looked at Daohua with a complicated expression. To be honest, she had liked this girl before, but first her grandson clamored to cancel the marriage arranged for him because she disobeyed the elders; now her granddaughter eloped. As far as she knew, the reason why her granddaughter knew Sun Changze seemed to be related to her. As such, it was really difficult for her to have a good impression of her again.
"Don't associate with Yuan Yao anymore."
Upon hearing this, Daohua was shocked.
Mrs. Dong continued, "I will be taking Yuan Yao back to the capital in a few days. I don't want her to be involved in anything with the people or things in Zhongzhou."
