Chapter 1,139: Shocked to Hear the Truth About Mother’s Death
"Although Third Aunt's health was not good before, and now it's just the wind and cold, how could it suddenly... become like this?" Shao Wanru looked at the third lady up and down and said, she was indeed surprised, although the third lady's health has not been very good. , but it's just not that good. Why is it so bad now? It's as if he is seriously ill and blind.
Even without taking the third lady's pulse, Shao Wanru could tell that the third lady's condition was not good. His eyebrows could not help but frown slightly, and he had an inexplicable thought in his heart.
"My body is exhausted, so I can't bear any pain!" The third lady looked at Shao Wanru and said with a serious face.
"Is it the energy-boosting medicine I used before?" Shao Wanru asked tentatively.
"It should be. Although I don't know why this is happening, it should be related to the medicine that Doctor Qiu gave me before." The third lady said.
"Is there any trace of the original medicine left?" Shao Wanru blinked and asked.
"No!" The third lady shook her head and said with a wry smile, "The medicine given by Dr. Qiu was very good at that time. My body, which was not very good at first, got much better. I even had the energy to deal with the problems in the house. I even feel that I will get better soon, but I have been feeling bad recently. Illnesses go away like threads, and small problems can turn into big ones!"
Shao Wanru was silent for a moment. He knew what the third lady meant. It was very good when he used it before, so he didn't deliberately leave any powder or anything like that. Now he could only rely on his feeling, and he didn't even leave any prescriptions. Come on!
"Where's the prescription?"
"There is no prescription. Doctor Qiu just grabbed the medicine and sent it over!" Sure enough, the third lady's answer was exactly as she had guessed.
"Third Aunt, don't worry. It may be better after seeing the doctor. After all, you are only slightly unwell, that is, you just caught the cold." Shao Wanru could only comfort the third lady at the moment.
"I know my own affairs, even if... I'm afraid I can't do anything about it... It's also my fault that I believed that Dr. Qiu who was hired by the second room was a good one. I thought he was a capable doctor, but I didn't expect that he would put all my energy into it." All the Qi has been drained away, this is what the disease is all about now!"
The third lady coughed lowly, with a sad smile on her face. Seeing that Shao Wanru still wanted to comfort her, she shook her head: "Princess Chen, I invited you here today, not to tell me about my illness, but about my illness. , In fact, for me, it’s nothing, maybe it’s a relief. Unfortunately, the two children Caihuan and Cailing have no biological mother at their age. I really can’t feel relieved!”
"Third Aunt, the imperial doctor always has a solution!" That's all Shao Wanru can do right now!
"Princess Chen, I ask you one thing, just one thing. Can you look after their sisters for me? I don't want them to marry rich and powerful, but they must marry someone who is sincerely good to them." The third lady Bitter way.
"Third aunt, I can't interfere in the marriage between third sister and fourth sister. The madam has her own arrangements, and it's not something I, a junior, can kiss!" Shao Wanru reminded the third madam that she really didn't want to take on this matter. Even if she doesn't speak up, people will criticize Chen Wangfu. Others will only say that she is arrogant and uses Chen Wangfu to suppress her sisters. No one will say that she is sincerely helping the sisters.
"Princess Chen..." The third lady's eyes suddenly widened and she straightened up. Xinhu wanted to stand up and salute Shao Wanru, but her body went limp but she almost fell down.
Shao Wanru stood up, walked to the bed, and helped the third lady slowly lie down.
Although the third lady lay down weakly, her hand held Shao Wanru's hand tightly: "Princess Chen, please help me, Princess Chen!"
"Third Aunt, I really can't help you. It's better for me to intervene in this matter than for Third Aunt to keep it to herself. Third Aunt's body is not ruined to this extent. Although it won't be as good as before with good care, it's not completely It's impossible!" Shao Wanru said softly, but his words were firm.
Things in the Xingguo Hou Mansion were in chaos, and she couldn't get involved at this time.
"You...are you really so cruel? They are your cousins!" The third lady looked at Shao Wanru with tearful condemnation, tears fell, "please save them, are you not willing to save them?"
"Third aunt, it's not that I don't want to save them. On the one hand, they don't need me to save them. They are the ladies of the Xingguo Hou Mansion. The elders have the final say in this marriage. Even if the wife doesn't make the decision, there are still the second uncle and the third uncle. Why is it not my turn as a sister to solve the problem? Third aunt, do you think the Madam will give me this right? Or do you think I can fight against the Madam?"
Seeing that the third lady opened her mouth to speak, Shao Wanru interrupted the third lady rudely: "The third aunt may think that now that I am Princess Chen, I can do some willful things and forcibly interfere with the affairs of the Xingguo Hou Mansion. Too much." Even if Madam is dissatisfied, she will not do anything to me."
"But think about it, third aunt. If something happens to you, the two sisters must first observe filial piety. Once the three-year filial piety period is over, the third sister and the fourth sister are already beaten. Even if the wife and the second uncle have no intention of doing anything to them, How are they? It’s hard to find a match for them, not to mention do you think Mrs. Ether’s temperament will let them get married?”
The Madam's temperament has always been very calculating. Sacrificing one or two granddaughters for the benefit of the house is really nothing. The Madam is capable of such things.
It was not easy to get married in the first place, and with the madam scheming behind her, it is conceivable that the marriage between Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing was definitely not optimistic.
These few words were not pleasant to hear, but they fell deep into the heart of the third lady, hitting the softest part of her heart hard.
Shao Wanru knew what Mrs. Tai was like, and she also knew that if it really came to that point, the tragic situation of the two daughters could be imagined.
I don’t know where the strength came from, so that the third lady’s hand held Shao Wanru’s hand tightly, her eyes were burning like fire, her voice was not loud, but every word was heard: “If our third room is separated from the Xingguo Marquis Mansion, Woolen cloth?"
"Third Aunt is going to separate the family?" Shao Wanru was surprised.
The third bedroom in the Xingguo Hou Mansion has always been dependent on the second bedroom. Whether it was before or now, the second bedroom is supporting the Xingguo Marquis Mansion. If the third wife wants to separate the family, she can't just do it. At least she has to get her own share. The third uncle agreed.
This third uncle has always been obedient to the concubine, and he doesn’t spend much time in the house on weekdays. It sounds like he is not close to the third concubine. Looking at the way he doesn’t pay attention to the third concubine’s condition, you can tell what this third uncle is thinking. It's not the third lady's fault. Will he listen to the third lady's wishes and separate the family?
A true family separation is definitely not a good thing for Sanfang's finances.
"He will score if he points, and he will point if he doesn't!" The third lady gritted her teeth, her eyes were sharp, and her hand relaxed slightly, but she still held Shao Wanru's hand, "Princess Chen, although I didn't know that your mother and your father were in the end
What happened, but I know that your mother's condition is abnormal, and her death is very doubtful! "
"I...my mother kissed her...she was killed?" Shao Wanru's voice trembled unconsciously. He held the third lady's hand with his backhand and pursed his lips tightly.
"I actually don't know about this. I just remember that it's strange. Princess Qinghua's mind is a little unclear. After giving birth to Yuan Hao, she has been in a daze, saying your nickname, and occasionally the name of the prince. , The mental state is very bad, but it is impossible for her to go out like this, and she fell into the lotus pond and drowned alone!"
The third lady said.
"Didn't you say that my mother died of depression because she missed her father after giving birth?" Shao Wanru's voice trembled, and her fingers spasmed unconsciously, as if something hit her heart so hard that it hurt so much that she could hardly breathe. , there was a burning pain in my heart.
"I originally spoke to the outside world. I was afraid of being held accountable by the outside world, and I was also afraid that your grandmother would come to the door. In this way, your grandmother naturally didn't know. When your grandmother heard that something happened to your mother, she came over and only took a look, and didn't even see you. Mother's face fainted, and she couldn't get sick after that. This funeral was hastily arranged by the government!" said the third lady.
Shao Wanru's face was as pale as snow, without a trace of blood, her lips were pursed tightly, and her gaze fell on the third lady motionlessly. She knew that the third lady must have something to say.
Sure enough, the third lady paused and said: "I just felt suspicious at the time, but I didn't dare to say anything. As you know, the second wife has always been the head of the family in our house. I am not in good health, and I don't want to please the third wife or you." My uncle likes me, I gave birth to two more daughters, and I am just the third wife in the house. Not many people take me seriously, and there is no solid evidence for this matter. Even if I want to say it, there is nothing I can do. , not only is it ineffective, but it may also cause serious trouble!"
The third lady turned her head and coughed twice before turning her head again, "I have always kept this matter in my heart and haven't said anything for so many years. That time, your third sister had an accident in the palace and her face was almost ruined. You and I The third uncle quarreled and asked him to go to your second uncle to find a way to find a good marriage for your third sister. Then he talked about this suspicion. Your third uncle later went to find your second uncle. Later, Shao Jieer wanted to Leave the marriage to your third sister!"
Shao Wanru's hands trembled twice, and her long eyelashes drooped. She knew this. At that time, she was still wondering whether the third uncle had mastered some secrets, such as the fact that Shao Jing had harmed her father. She did not expect that it was not her father's. The problem was her mother. The third bedroom used her mother's affairs to threaten the second bedroom and asked Shao Jie'er to give up the marriage.
The corners of his lips curled up silently, but he couldn't squeeze out a smile. His lowered eyes were cold and sinister.
My father and mother were taken advantage of by these so-called relatives, and even their posthumous value was taken advantage of. This Xingguo Hou Mansion is really cruel and cruel!
"I know, we can't forgive you for this! At this time, it can be regarded as retribution for me not telling anything about what happened at the beginning. Since I ask you to stand up for Huan'er and Ling'er, I have to let you see whatever I do. If you show my sincerity, after a few days, I will let the third room leave the Xingguo Hou Mansion and reveal the mysterious circumstances surrounding your mother's death!"
The third lady smiled bitterly and raised her eyes to look at Shao Wanru willingly: "I am also considered a dying person. It doesn't matter what happens. It's best if I can survive. It doesn't matter if I can't. As long as Huan'er and Ling'er live well. !”
