lady, please calm down

Chapter 248 Cat and Snake Concentric
midnight.

A carriage on the long silent street was surrounded by several servants, women and maids, hurrying towards Xinghua Lane.

In the carriage, Cai Hua was leaning on the soft pillow as if she were boneless. She glanced at Mao'er through the faint light reflected from the window and said lazily: "Little wild cat, it's hard for upright officials to deal with household affairs. Do you really want to take care of it?"

Mao'er was slightly angry and said dissatisfiedly: "Sister Cai, are you so cold-blooded? Dalang and the officials are both brothers and friends. Now that Uncle Yang and his wife are not in Caizhou, I don't care who will take care of things in his family?"

"You, you just worry about your life. Don't blame my sister for not reminding you. This matter is not just a simple matter of women competing for favor. On one side is our Tongshan family, on the other side is Caizhou; on the other side is the Xu family, and on the other is our Chen family. If you don't handle it well, you won't be able to deal with both sides."

"I"

In the past year or two, Mao'er had gained a lot of confidence from officials when she was a director, but Zhao Kaiyuan's incident had a big impact on her self-confidence. After hearing this, she was silent for a while and whispered: "I know what I know."

The horse carriage is very recognizable.

In fact, Cat feels that too cute colors and patterns will look a bit childish and inconsistent with her fifth-level status.

But this carriage with springs and shock absorbers was designed by the official himself, and Mao'er was reluctant to change it.

Everyone in Caizhou knows that if they see a carriage with a cute cat head painted on the outside, Zhao Ren must be sitting inside.

Gou Sheng naturally knew it too.
When he learned that Zhao Renren suddenly appeared on the street late at night, he hurried over.

"Is there something important? Do you need help?" Gou Sheng quickly followed outside the car window and asked respectfully.

Across the car curtain, Mao'er thought for a moment and whispered: "Ahem, I'd like to trouble Gouzantou to take the Yang family's grandma Huang back home."

"it is good"

What happened to the Yang family tonight?First there was a thief, and now Renren Zhao is coming in a hurry?

But he didn't dare to inquire about the back homes of senior figures in the Left Behind Department.

A quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door of Yang Mansion on Xinghua Lane.

As soon as the door was opened a crack, the door was violently pushed open, and several tough soldiers in military uniforms rushed in.

The disciples couldn't help being shocked and angry, and cursed: "You don't want your life! This is the residence of Mr. Yang, the commander of the Huai Suppression Army. You dare to break in!"

In the dead of night, the shout immediately caused a slight commotion in the front house.

From the side room in the front yard, several soldiers also ran out.

Dalang is also a military commander, so there are indispensable personal guards stationed at home to protect the safety of his family.

However, these soldiers couldn't help but be startled after running out. The people on the other side were obviously our own people, right?
At this time, the soldiers of the Chen family shouted in a low voice: "Don't be rude, Mrs. Dutong is here!"

As soon as the words fell, Mao'er and Cai Wei had already entered the room one after the other, and walked quickly to the back house with the servant girl.

The soldiers of the Yang Mansion were startled and quickly put away their weapons and stood aside with their heads lowered.

The Huai Suppressing Army was built almost hand in hand by Chen Chu, and his prestige in the army was unmatched. The cat at this time represented him to a certain extent.

Mao'er was quite familiar with the Yang Mansion. He walked through the halls and came straight to Nie Ronger's bedroom.

Her arrival was so sudden that the entire back house didn't react.

Xu Zhen'er had returned to her private courtyard, but there were two strong women guarding Nie Ronger's room door.

The two of them had never seen Mao'er before. They only saw this cute and thin little girl walking towards her as if there was no one around. The strong woman, who had already been told by Xu Zhen'er that "no one is allowed to come in," immediately stretched out her arms to stop her, "Where are they from?" Girl! Break into my house in the middle of the night!"

The two of them are very confident!

Also, who in Caizhou City should be afraid of the Yang family now?

Not to mention the female relatives of officials, but also the daughters of the magistrate and tongzhi's family, they came to Yang's house so late at night, but they were still rejected.

Moreover, the cat is petite, and her hair had already been loosened for convenience when she was at home. With her black silk shawl shawl, to the naked eye, she still looks like a young lady who has not yet left the palace.

The healthy woman thought it was Nie Ronger's sisters who came after hearing the news.

However, Mao'er didn't even change the rhythm of his steps. Without even looking at the two of them, he raised his hand and pushed the door open.

When the two strong women saw this, they couldn't help but get angry and stretched out their hands to pull the cat.

However, before their hands touched anyone, Li Zhaodi and Li Cuilian suddenly stepped forward and grabbed their wrists.

The two Li sisters didn't say anything, they just waved their hands and slapped them twice, which made the two strong women's eyes sparkle with stars.

Everyone was confused. This was Yang Mansion, the commander of the Huai Suppression Army!Whose female family members dare to come here and run wild?Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for your own men?
'squeak~'

Cat has pushed the door open and entered.

When Bai Lu, who was following behind, entered the door, she gave the two strong women a fierce look and cursed: "Old Qianpo, how dare you attack the wife of Lord Dutong, a fifth-ranked person conferred by the imperial court! I think you are tired of living. !”

"."

The two healthy women covered their rapidly swelling cheeks and looked at each other in horror.

If there is anyone in Caizhou that my master Xu Zhen'er is afraid of, there is only one person, and it is Zhao Renren.

"Dr. Wang, come in quickly! Cough cough cough."

Inside the house, the cat's anxious voice came.

Later, Dr. Wang, who came with Mao'er, and Auntie Li, who reported the news, entered the house one after another.

Nie Ronger was lying on the bed unconscious, her face as pale as gold paper, and her hair was wet with sweat.

Dr. Wang took the time to check her pulse and make a diagnosis.
After a while, he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly prepare hot water, big ginseng, small stove iron pot, good vinegar."

The panicked maid looked at Grandma Li with tearful eyes.

Seeing at such a critical moment, the people around Nie Ronger were still so slimy, and Mao'er, who was so easy to lose his temper, couldn't help but get annoyed, "Didn't you hear? Why are you still standing there in a daze!"

"It's impressive." Li Aimai explained: "Aunt Xu usually keeps the good things in the house. Hot water, cooking stoves, and good vinegar can be found, but Aunt Xu needs to ask for ginseng."

"Then go find her!" Mao'er was so angry that he turned around and told Bai Lu: "Bai Lu, go to Aunt Xu and ask for a ginseng, just say I borrowed it!"

Bai Lu hurriedly ran out of the house. At this time, Dr. Wang walked up to Mao'er and whispered: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Yang is in critical danger. I'm afraid the baby in her belly can't be saved."

"Ah! Cough cough cough"

Mao'er coughed violently, and before he could catch his breath, he said anxiously: "Madam Wang, can you think of something?"

"It makes me think that if I want to forcefully save the fetus, I am only less than [-]% sure. If I can't save it, both mother and child will be lost."

"., cough cough cough."

Mao'er was startled and coughed again, and then said: "That won't work! We need to save Mrs. Yang's life!"

Dr. Wang turned her head to look at Nie Ronger, whose breath was getting weaker, and said: "If the fetus is removed, I am only [-]% sure that Mrs. Yang can survive. And I have to say whether she can be pregnant in the future."

"."

Mao'er's legs went weak and he felt like the world was spinning. He took a step back and supported the table before he stood still.

Before the expedition, Da Lang asked her to take care of his wife. She was fine the day before yesterday, so why did she suddenly become like this?
Li Aimai, who had been listening to what Dr. Wang said with her ears open, could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"It's annoying, what to do, you need to make up your mind quickly, if it's later, it will be useless even if the gods come"

Doctor Wang urged in a low voice.

Mao'er forced herself to calm down, but felt that she had never encountered such a difficult decision in just ten years.

In the past, she had always been decisive.

Just like back then, she dared to make the decision to follow Chen Chu to escape in just a few breaths. At that time, she didn't know much about Chen Chu, and she almost gave up her body and the lives of her two sisters to Chen Chu.

The difference was that she could bear the consequences of her decision by herself, whether it was life or death, good or bad. In short, she could take responsibility for herself.

But right now, she has to make decisions for others. If she asks Dr. Wang to save only Nie Ronger, will the Yang family and his wife complain about her in the future? Moreover, she is only [-]% sure of saving only Nie Ronger. What if she can't save both the big and small ones? manage?

Is it to fight for the safety of mother and child with less than [-]% certainty?

Or is it a bet that the mother and son are equally likely to die, but can only guarantee Nie Ronger's [-]% certainty?
"People?"

"Save Mrs. Yang first!"

Mao'er almost broke his silver teeth and struggled to spit out these words, then collapsed in the chair as if he was exhausted.

On a cool autumn night, the fragrance of sweat penetrates my clothes.

Ignoring the panic in her heart, Mao'er suddenly asked in a low voice, "Madam Wang, is there something strange about what happened to Mrs. Yang today?"

Dr. Wang, who was nervously making preparations, was silent for a moment after hearing this. Then she learned from Grandma Li that Mrs. Yang had been fine recently.

I suddenly felt unwell at noon today. I took the medicine prescribed by my family doctor, and the redness started to appear within a few hours.

There is a high probability that this matter will involve Xinmi in the back house. Doctor Wang did not dare to make a judgment, so she just replied: "It's annoying, I need to see the dregs of the medicine to find out."

One of Nie Ronger's maids hurriedly cried: "The decoction was boiled by the servants. After filtering the concoction, the residue was poured into the dregs bucket in the back kitchen. I will go look for it now."

Mao'er didn't respond. If there was something wrong with the soup, the residue would have been cleaned up long ago.

Mao'er was angry and anxious, and felt chest tightness and discomfort. She coughed twice to get better. After a few moments of thinking, she made a decision that went against her usual principles.

"Zhao Di, go to the left-behind yamen and ask Commander He Beihe of Jinyisuo to come and ask him to bring two guys who are handy. Remember, don't let him bring Xu Zhiyuan."

The few words Mao'er said were extremely difficult.

"Yes, impressive."

Li Zhaodi took the order and went, but Cai Wei, who had been standing outside the door admiring the moonlight, raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, "You actually called He Bei this time, the little wild cat is so ruthless!"

While I was thinking about it, I saw Xu Zhen'er hurriedly coming from the side courtyard.

Outside the door, Xu Zhen'er couldn't help but look surprised when she saw Cai Hua there, but then she bowed casually and walked into the house.Cai Hua was very rude and didn't reply, but she laughed and said in a soft voice: "Xu family girl, what a ruthless method."

"."

Xu Zhen'er paused, then showed a decent but puzzled smile to Cai Hua, "Miss Cai family, what do you mean?"

"Hehe, it's not interesting."

Cai Hua raised her right hand and made a gesture to Xu Zhen'er to invite her in.

Xu Zhen'er glanced at Cai Hua again, turned around and walked into the room.

inside the house.

Mao'er had wiped off his sweat and tidied up his appearance while the two of them were talking outside.

When Xu Zhen'er entered the door, she just met Mao'er's gaze.

The peach blossom eyes, which are born with spring feelings, can also be deep and cold at times.

Xu Zhen'er felt nervous for no reason.

To be honest, Xu Zhener never thought that the cat would come tonight.
And it will come so quickly.

If Nie Ronger's grandfather, Guan's family, came to visit, she really wouldn't be afraid.

After all, she has a trump card that others don't know yet, but when the cat comes, it's a bit troublesome.

"Sister." Xu Zhen'er wanted to test Mao'er's attitude first.

He didn't want to, but Mao'er drooped his eyelids slightly and whispered: "You, go out first."

"elder sister?"

"go out!"

"."

Obviously this is his own home, but Mao'er doesn't show any dignity and wants to drive Xu Zhen'er out.

Xu Zhen'er lowered her head, her face turned red and white, and finally she bowed and retreated.

Outside the door, Cai Hua, who had been looking in to see the excitement, waited until Xu Zhen'er walked out of the room, stepped forward with a smile, and said, "Madam of the Xu family, are you feeling comfortable now?"

"you!"

Xu Zhen'er was not only anxious but also filled with anger.

What happened tonight was that it didn't matter if others were suspicious. As long as there was no evidence, who would dare to touch her easily!

After all, the family behind her is inextricably linked to Chen Dutong.

Furthermore, the affairs of the Yang family can only be handled by Yang Dalang after he returns home. What right does anyone else have to point fingers?

Xu Zhen'er has the confidence and confidence that Yang Dalang cannot touch her.

But the 'others' only did not include Zhao Renren who was sitting in the room at this time. In terms of public affairs, she was a fifth-grade Renren; in terms of private matters, her family officials were both the boss and brothers.

It is reasonable for her to ask about the Yang family's rear house.

And because Zhao Ren arrived too suddenly, some things had not been dealt with yet.
Just when he was uneasy, he saw Li Zhaodi walking in with Huang Aina in one hand and He Bei and others.

Xu Zhen'er didn't recognize this man with a pale face and a cold aura all over his body, but she subconsciously felt alarmed.

"Madam, Commander He has invited us."

Li Zhaodi called out from outside the door.

Mao'er, who had been sitting quietly in the room, slowly stood up and said to Li Aima: "Go, you can lead the way for Commander He and find Dr. Xu. You can ask whatever you want. With Commander He here, he will tell the truth." of."

Xu Zhen'er still didn't know what kind of official 'Commander He' was, but her sense of danger made her speak immediately: "Ren Zhao! Why did you bring a foreign man into my back house in the middle of the night! If my master knew about it."

"I'll go and talk to Dalang."

Mao'er waved her hand, Li Aina glanced at Xu Zhen'er, and then led He Bei out.

Xu Zhen'er was anxious and wanted to step forward to stop him, but Li Zhaodi and Li Cuilian each grabbed an arm and couldn't move away.

"Are you dead!" Xu Zhen'er cursed those healthy women brought from Tongshan.

But when they learned that the person giving orders in the courtyard at this time was Zhao Renren, known as the "Bodhisattva Empress" in Tongshan and Caizhou, no one dared to move.

However, Aunt Huang, who had just been brought into the back house, didn't know the identity of the petite lady in front of her. Although she guessed that she was of high status, she still cried: "Auntie, please write a letter to the master quickly and tell him that he is away fighting. , but our family is being bullied. It’s unreasonable! Master, please come back and take a look."

I thought that bringing out Yang Dalang's identity would deter the other party, but Mao'er showed a rare expression of obvious disgust, staring at Huang Mama, with a murderous look in his soft voice, "Zhaodi, Cuilian, hit me!"

Cai Hua glanced at Mao'er unexpectedly. The little wild cat finally became ruthless after Zhao Kaiyuan's incident.

The Li sisters are familiar with the road.

Grandma Huang was also quite strong and wanted to resist, but Li Cuilian used a "hook kick" in sumo wrestling and knocked her to the ground.

There was a dull sound.

Cai Hua, who was watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, smiled and clapped happily, then pulled out a short riding crop from her waist and threw it to Li Zhaodi from a distance, "Use this, it will be a good beating with this."

'pia~'

In the backyard of the deep house, a whip was swept, and Huang Aimai let out a scream.

Where the whip tip passed, two layers of autumn clothes were torn apart, and a layer of skin and flesh was swept away.

"Zhao Renren! Why are you beating my servants for no reason! If you look down on the Nu family, don't you care about the brotherhood between Dalang and Dutong? Don't you also care about the friendship between my Xu family and Dutong? I came out of Tongshan with Renren! "

Huang Aina is Xu Zhen'er's right-hand man, so naturally she cannot let her be beaten and ignored.

Although Xu Zhen'er didn't understand why Mao'er was so protective of Nie Ronger, she was so anxious that she made it quite straightforward. What that meant was that we came from Tongshan together, and my family has a deep connection with your family. If I do Meeting the eldest lady of the Yang family is natural and satisfying, and does no harm to you at all. Why is this so?
But Mao'er drooped her eyelids and turned a deaf ear to Xu Zhen'er's words.

"Aunt Xu, save me, save me."

Grandma Huang couldn't bear the beating, so she only used her hands to protect her head and face, rolling on the ground and begging bitterly.

After a while, Grandma Huang's screams became weaker and weaker, and Mao'er asked softly, "I'm asking you a question. If you tell the truth, you will suffer less physical pain."

Li Zhaodi and Li Cuilian stopped immediately when they heard the sound, and each supported Huang Mama with one arm.

The dying Huang Aina said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, please stop beating me. Whatever you ask, Madam, I will tell you the truth."

"Then let me ask you, why did you harm Mrs. Yang?"

"I"

Even at this point, Madam Huang still took a look at Xu Zhen'er first.

The slave harmed the master's family, whether in public or private life, he could not escape death. Only Aunt Xu could protect her from this matter!

Xu Zhen'er had a great reaction. She started crying as soon as she opened her mouth and said, "Why do you say this! Huang Aina is an old friend I brought from Tongshan. If you say this, doesn't it mean that Zhen'er is the murderer!" My son cannot bear this unjust injustice!
Ever since I entered the Yang family, I have served the master wholeheartedly and helped the lady take care of the house every day. I have never been disrespectful or overstepped!It makes people want to pour a basin of dirty water on Zhen'er's head!Why?

Could it be that Mr. Du Tong is displeased with my master and wants to get rid of my family and let talents come to my house to cause trouble? "

"!"

These words were extremely dangerous, and Mao'er couldn't help but get angry. After coughing repeatedly, Li Aimai walked over quickly and said a few words in Mao'er's ear.

Even though he had already made a guess, when he got the exact result, Mao'er couldn't help but feel a twinge of heart palpitations.

"Ahem, Doctor Xu has already explained it."

Xu Zhen'er's heart sank, but she still took a chance and asked, "What did you tell me?"

"." Mao'er looked at Xu Zhen'er who refused to repent. He could no longer suppress his anger and whispered: "What you have done! Do you want me to tell you what you have done and spread the word to everyone in the courtyard? Da Lang is not at home now. After all, How to punish you will be decided when he comes back. Before he comes back, you should go to my house first!"

When Xu Zhen'er heard this, she knew that Mao'er was going to take her into custody. She knew that Mao'er would not listen to her excuses anymore, so she no longer cared about the face of both parties. She smiled crazily and said, "That's fine! I just want to try your food too." , anyway, now I have Dalang’s bloodline in my belly, if anything happens, Zhao Ren will be responsible.”

"."

Mao'er was stunned. No wonder Xu Zhen'er was so bold, no wonder she was unscrupulous, no wonder she wanted to harm Nie Ronger.

It turns out that Xu Zhener is also pregnant.

For a moment, Mao'er was so anxious that she could no longer suppress the surge of blood in her chest, and coughed loudly again.

This time, the cough was worse than before. Bai Lu, who had just returned from fetching ginseng, hurriedly stepped forward to help Mao'er breathe, but suddenly exclaimed, "Madam! I'm coughing up blood."

But he saw that the white handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers on one corner was stained with blood, which was shocking.

"lady!"

"It's amazing!"

A group of Chen family servants gathered around him in a noisy manner.

Cai Hua, who had been watching the excitement, was shocked. Seeing Mao'er coughing up blood in anger, Xu Zhen'er was standing beside her calmly like a normal person. For some reason, she felt angry and unknown in her heart. She stepped forward and stretched out her hand. The five fingers of the palm were bent into claws and scratched Xu Zhen'er's face fiercely.

"what!"

Xu Zhen'er screamed in shock, and blood quickly oozed from five deep scratches on her face.Xu Zhen'er hurriedly touched her face, but her hand was bloody. She couldn't help shouting angrily: "Cai Hua! You ruined my face!"

After scolding, she was about to step forward to fight Cai Wei for her life. Li Cuilian, who had just approached, stretched her arms and wrapped Xu Zhen'er in her arms, making her unable to move.

Cai Hua took the opportunity to draw her bow from left to right and slapped Xu Zhen'er twice on the face.

Then he shook his numb palms, narrowed his charming eyes, and said coldly: "Well, it was me who tickled you, so what about you? The little wild cat is worried about the friendship between his officials and your family, and he doesn't want to touch you. I am not a bird. Your Xu family. If you don’t accept it, just call you Uncle Xu Bang to cause trouble for my father."
