The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 14 Bereavement (2)
In the next room, when the bad news came, Hanzhu was lying on the couch and weeping in grief and indignation. He was shocked to hear that his father had fainted from anger, and Hanzhu felt that the sky was falling. Father remains.

Not caring about washing her face, combing her hair, or even going to the wing room to call her sister, Hanzhu staggered to the front yard.

"Daddy!" She lay down on the couch, weeping uncontrollably, "Daddy, don't scare me, don't leave us..."

Mrs. Li stood beside her, unable to bear to watch, she turned around and wiped her tears secretly.

Ningzhu soon ran in, and the crying came before she entered the room. After entering the room, she lay beside her sister, crying even more pitifully, "Daddy, don't go, Daddy, I'm afraid..."

A pair of pearls in the palm of their hands cried into tears, but Jiang Jizhou remained motionless and did not respond at all.

Song Langzhong came over to look at it, shook his head and sighed, saying that Jiang Jizhou was in a hurry, and his body was already damaged, and he lost [-]% of his energy after vomiting blood. Even if he could wake up, he would not last for three days. .

Hanzhu cried until she passed out.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

She lost her soul, as if stepping on a cloud, and returned to her father's bedside in a daze.

Ningzhu and her clothes lay inside, and she fell asleep hugging her father, her eyes were swollen, and there were still teardrops on her eyelashes.

"Girl, use some porridge. Only when you have strength can you guard the master." Aunt Zhang walked in with a tray, glanced at her husband who was bending over to guard, and persuaded with red eyes.

Hanzhu's gaze shifted from his father's face to his sister's, "Did the second girl use it?"

Aunt Zhang sighed softly: "No, she fell asleep crying and crying, do you want to wake her up?"

Hanzhu shook her head, it's good to fall asleep, at least she doesn't have to cry anymore.

Moving to the table, Hanzhu lowered her head, scooped up the rotten meat porridge and slowly fed it into her mouth, swallowed it, and shed two lines of tears.

Forcing himself to eat a full bowl, Hanzhu returned to the bedside, lay down holding his father's hand, and wept silently.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and a familiar cough suddenly sounded in the room.

Hanzhu raised her head immediately, and saw that her father had really woken up with blurry eyes, and hurriedly urged Aunt Zhang to fetch the medicine. She wiped away her tears and spoke softly to her father, "Daddy is awake, are you hungry? What's wrong?" ?"

Jiang Jizhou looked at his daughter, and saw that her daughter Shui Lingling's almond eyes had swollen into walnuts.

He smiled, and wanted to touch his daughter's head, but he couldn't lift his arm, and he didn't have the strength to speak.

When Hanzhu saw her, she held back her tears and persuaded, "Don't move, Daddy, the most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself."

Jiang Jizhou nodded slightly.

Aunt Zhang came in with the warm medicine in the pot, and served her father spoonful by spoonful with pearls.

After taking the hot medicine, Jiang Jizhou's face finally turned red. He looked at the little daughter who was sleeping on the bed, and then looked at the eldest daughter who was waiting on the bed. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he told Uncle Zhang: "Go and ask the young man in black to come over."

He is dying, before he leaves, let me tell you how much it is.

Hearing the meaning of his father's words, Hanzhu couldn't hold back anymore, and lay down on the couch and choked up.

Cheng Yu followed Uncle Zhang, and when he passed by the window, he heard the thin cry of a young deer.

Maybe it was the intoxicating night breeze in August in the south of the Yangtze River. At that moment, he vaguely remembered that when his mother went, he rushed back from the palace to the palace at the age of seven, ran to the door of the inner room, and first heard the low voice of his aunt and aunt. sobbing.He went in crying and saw his mother lying motionless on the bed, her clothes were neatly dressed, but there was a circle of bruises under her collar.

After so many years, Cheng Yu couldn't explain why he forgot his mother's appearance, but remembered the bruise on the fair neck.

After entering the room, the sobbing and crying became clearer, which brought him back to his thoughts.

Cheng Yu stopped three steps away from the bed, looking calmly at Jiang Jizhou with a pair of cold black eyes.

Jiang Jizhou looked at him pleadingly: "Young master, Mr. Jiang probably won't be able to survive tonight. I will order him down, and no one is allowed to reveal the whereabouts of the young master. I only ask the young master to fulfill his previous promise and leave quietly after recovering from illness." , don’t embarrass the two orphans, okay?”

Cheng Yu pointed to the sky and swore: "Don't worry, sir, if the two of us harm the two girls, we will be struck by lightning."

His eyes were pure and firm. Jiang Jizhou believed him, and turned his eyes to Uncle Zhang over there, "You heard it all. After I leave, the two young masters will be the guests of the Jiang family. You must not be rude."

Uncle Zhang knelt down and kowtowed, his voice choked up: "I listen to the master..."

Jiang Jizhou asked Cheng Yu to go back to the house to rest, and when the footsteps disappeared, he finally looked at the eldest daughter, held her hand and said, "Hanzhu, Daddy is sorry for you. He gave birth to you, but he can no longer protect you. Gu Heng is not a good match, and Dad doesn't have time to give you a good kiss, what do you think of Zhang Fu?"

Hanzhu was so shocked that she forgot to cry.

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang raised their heads in disbelief.

Jiang Jizhou smiled wryly, there was nothing he could do, her daughter was beautiful, once she lost his support, she would most likely be bullied in the future.Although Zhang Fu is not good enough for his daughter, he is honest and reliable, and has a good appearance. After being recruited as a son-in-law, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang will definitely take care of Hanzhu and sisters more attentively.

"Master, how can Zhang Fu be worthy of a girl?" Uncle Zhang instinctively refused.

Jiang Jizhou shook his head and said, "As long as he treats Hanzhu well, he is worthy, but I don't know if you are willing or not to let him into Zhujiang's family."

"Yes, yes, master, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of the girl, and we will never fail the master's entrustment!" Aunt Zhang hurriedly responded.

Jiang Jizhou still looked at Uncle Zhang, saw the loyal servant nodding, and then looked at his daughter questioningly, "If Hanzhu agrees, after I leave, the wedding will be held within a hundred days." No bridal chamber, after the filial piety period, the ceremony of Duke Zhou will be performed.

Hanzhu cried and nodded, "I'll listen to daddy, I just ask daddy..."

Before she finished speaking, the hand holding her suddenly loosened.

Hanzhu was stunned, but held her father instead, "Daddy?"

No one answered her.

Hanzhu yelled two more times, and the next moment, she burst into tears, "Daddy..."
