Chapter 249 Accept, who will make the decision for me?
After Beigong You was rescued and brought back to Prince Ning's Mansion, he remained in a coma.
He was already weak, with new injuries on top of old ones, and two fatal injuries. After having a high fever for two days, he was in critical condition.
Fortunately, Zhang Miaochun arrived in time and he was out of danger.
He woke up almost at the same time as Lin Miaoyin, but his condition was much more serious than Lin Miaoyin's. Although he woke up, he couldn't get out of bed for a while and could only lie on the couch to recuperate.
After Chen Zhimo got the news, she brought her daughter to visit the mansion.
When he married Beigong Shu, he had just reached the age of marriage. Two years later, he gave birth to his daughter Youxuan, and then he and Beigong Shu went to Jiangling. After arriving in that bitter cold place, her belly stopped moving.
Ten years passed in a flash, and she hadn't set foot in Shengjing again.
Now Youxuan is eight years old. She has grown into a beautiful young lady and looks 80% like her, especially her eyebrows and eyes. One can vaguely see what she looked like back then.
In addition to her good looks, Youxuan was also extremely gifted in literature. She could compose poems at the age of three and essays at the age of five. She was very knowledgeable at a young age.
Over the years, everyone who has seen this child has praised him highly.
She could even foresee that in the near future, her Youxuan would become the most outstanding and noble woman in the entire Beiliang.
Although she regretted not having a son, Yuxuan was enough to be her pride.
Thinking that Beigong You had never met Youxuan, she brought her along. She believed that he would definitely like Youxuan.
Led by the servant, the mother and daughter entered the yard.
The bitter smell of medicine filled the air in Songzhuyuan, and it was even stronger in the rooms, as if they had been soaked in a jar of medicine.
"Your fourth uncle was seriously injured a few days ago and is in a bad mood." Chen Zhimo explained and instructed, "You must make him happy later."
"I've taken note of what my mother said about Youxuan." The girl responded sensibly.
Qing Guo, who led the way, led the mother and daughter into the room and bowed, "Your Majesty, Princess Shu and the young princess are here."
Beigong You responded indifferently.
He leaned weakly on the pillow and looked up at the mother and daughter coming forward.
"Ayou, I heard that you were injured. I brought Youxuan to see you." Chen Zhimo said to his daughter beside him, "Xuan'er, pay your respects to your fourth uncle."
"Youxuan greets Fourth Uncle." Beigong Youxuan bowed obediently, then pulled out the purse from her waist and handed it over. "There are pine nut candies inside, they are very sweet. I'll give them to Fourth Uncle, so that your medicine won't be bitter."
The moment she raised her little face, Beigong You felt a little dazed, as if he had traveled through time and saw the cousin who had gently given him candy many years ago.
In the years that followed, he missed that time countless times.
Chen Zhimo smiled indulgently, "No wonder you didn't let me eat it, it turned out to be a gift for your fourth uncle."
Hearing her voice, Beigong You came back to his senses from his memories.
Looking at the well-behaved little girl in front of the couch, his heart softened, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch her head, "Thank you, Youxuan."
"Fourth uncle needs to get better soon."
Beigong You nodded and felt very fond of the little girl in front of him.
He couldn't help but think that it would be great if the baby in Lin Miaoyin's belly was a girl. He would hold her in his hands and love her dearly in the future.
Thinking of the soft and tender baby, he smiled softly.
Chen Zhimo thought he liked Beigong Youxuan, so she started laughing too, "We went to Jiangling when Xuan'er was born. This is the first time you've seen her."
"The people of Jiangling admire Fourth Uncle very much. They all say that Fourth Uncle is a martial arts master, invincible, and a great hero of Beiliang." Beigong Youxuan looked at Beigong You with admiration.
Chen Zhimo couldn't help laughing, "This child grew up listening to your stories, and has been clamoring to meet you for a long time."
Beigong You, however, was somewhat uninterested. "I am in this state now. I am afraid I will never be able to go to the battlefield again." He touched Beigong Youxuan's head again and said, "Your father is the real hero. Remember that."
Beigong Youxuan's smile froze and she subconsciously looked towards Chen Zhimo.
No matter how smart she is, she is still a child after all.
Chen Zhimo looked calm, "Your fourth uncle is right, your father is also a great hero."
"I'm fine, sister-in-law, don't worry." Beigong You said calmly. His body was like this, but he was still alive and could not die.
How could Chen Zhimo not hear that he was ordering them to leave?
He must have found out the real culprit behind the last assassination, and this caused him to feel alienated from her.
But how innocent is she?
She lowered her head, and the strands of hair on her forehead slid down as she moved, covering half of her face, but it could not hide the distress on her face.
When she looked up again, her eyes were full of smiles again.
She accidentally lifted up the strands of hair on her temples, revealing her smooth forehead. A deep scar on it was clearly reflected in Beigong You's eyes.
"Sister-in-law, the wound on your forehead..."
He didn't notice it because it was blocked by his bangs.
"No, it's okay." Chen Zhimo's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly pulled down her bangs to cover the scar.
At the same time, embarrassment and awkwardness flashed in her eyes.
"Mother." Beigong Youxuan's face flashed with panic and distress. She felt sorry for Chen Zhimo, but was also worried that Beigong You would see something.
"I heard that fourth brother's wife has been in a coma since she came back. Is she okay?" Chen Zhimo immediately changed the subject.
"She has woken up now, but she was frightened and needs to recuperate for a few days."
"That's good. I brought some supplements to nourish your fourth brother's wife. Youxuan, please go to Shaohuayuan on my behalf to see your fourth aunt." Chen Zhimo instructed.
After Beigong Youxuan left, Beigong You asked about the injury on Chen Zhimo's forehead again, "Sister-in-law, your forehead..."
"Ayou, don't ask anymore, just think of it as keeping some dignity for me." Chen Zhimo bit her lip and lowered her head, her eyes full of sorrow. She bent slightly, looking particularly thin, which made people feel distressed.
When Beigong You heard this, he immediately understood that the injury on Chen Zhimo’s forehead was related to Beigong Shu.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Although he knew that his elder brother was not as gentle as he appeared, he never thought that he would hit a woman.
And this person is his first wife.
He even still remembers how Beigong Shu took care of Chen Zhimo and how happy Chen Zhimo was when she married Beigong Shu.
She said this was the happiness she wanted.
It's only been a few years and things have become like this. Can time really change a person?
The words rolled around in his mouth for a few times, and finally he said, "Then he can't hit you either."
Chen Zhimo lowered his head and remained silent.
"You... let him treat you like this?" Beigong You couldn't help but ask.
"What else?" Chen Zhimo smiled bitterly, "A woman should obey her husband after marriage. I have no choice but to... accept it."
"The Chen family..."
"The Chen family has already declined. How many members of the Chen family are still in the court? A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out, not to mention a worthless daughter. Who will make the decision for me?"
Beigong You suddenly remained silent.
To see how the Chen family treats their worthless daughter, just look at the queen in the palace.
