Concubine like a house

Chapter 45 The first marriage is a widow (1)
Chuxiu woke up in the chaos, only to feel that it was hard to cope, and the chest was empty, as if a piece of flesh and blood was missing.She wanted to speak, but her throat felt a slight stabbing pain, and then she remembered that she had tried to commit suicide with a hairpin, and then she vomited blood and passed out.

Since he still knew the pain, he shouldn't have died.Chuxiu struggled to sit up from the couch, but there was a movement around him: "Are you awake?" It was indifferent.

Chuxiu raised her eyes and saw that her eye sockets were red and swollen, her face was haggard, and her expression was heartbroken.Chuxiu resisted the pain in his throat and asked hoarsely, "I... how long have I been asleep?"

"one day one Night."

Chuxiu rubbed his forehead and sat up, carefully recalling everything that happened in the execution hall, and then asked: "Master Hou, did you... forgive me?"

Chuxiu is not stupid, the wound on her throat punctured by the hairpin has been bandaged with medicine, judging from the layout of this house, it is also the one she used to live in Zhiyanxuan, and she needs to take care of it lightly... If it wasn't for Yunci Yun Zhun, how can a "murderer" enjoy such treatment?

Even though Chuxiu had guessed it in her heart, she still wanted to hear Danxin's answer.However, Dan Xin turned her face away, choked up and said: "Don't ask... Xiaohou Shen will take you away."

Shen Yu wants to take him away?so suddenly?The only way out of Xiuxiu is that he helped him and pleaded with Yunci.Thinking of this made her feel better.At least, Shen Yu is willing to believe her, and also willing to miss the old love.Not like someone with a heart of stone and no trust at all.

Thinking of Yunci, Chuxiu couldn't help feeling suffocated, he closed his eyes slightly, and asked again: "Where's Young Master?"

There was a moment of silence in the room, Danxin didn't answer directly, but held back his tears and said: "I'll invite him over." After saying that, he walked out the door as if fleeing.

From the indifferent reply to the departure, Chuxiu has been leaning on the couch with eyes closed, resentment and dead silence in his heart, and he didn't notice anything unusual.

It's time to go!After staying in Lixinhou's mansion for just one year, she had buried half her life's love and hatred here, and from now on, her heart will be like an empty city.There seemed to be some burning pain in the throat again, Chuxiu couldn't help frowning, and raised his hand to caress his neck.The fingers just touched the skin on the neck, but the door opened again with a "squeak".

Should Shen Yu be brought here with indifference?Chuxiu turned sideways slightly, raised the curtain of the bed and looked out, only to see a corner of plain white dress in front of her eyes, which looked cold and lonely under the light of the candlelight.

"Qianyun?" Chuxiu saw that she was wearing plain clothes, with a look of grief and indignation on her face, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

At the same time as the words came out, Qian Yun walked around the screen and walked to the couch, with her hands behind her back.She lowered her eyebrows and looked at the emaciated Chuxiu on the couch, she closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, a tear had already flowed from the corner of her eyes: "Chuxiu, I will send you to see the master."

master?See what master?Before Chuxiu's doubts came out, Qian Yun suddenly bent down, and slowly stretched out her hands hidden behind her back.Chuxiu suddenly felt a cold light flash in front of her eyes, and she hurriedly dodged back subconsciously. At the same time, Qianyun shouted angrily in her ear: "Go to hell! You deserve to die!"

As he raised his hand, a dagger stabbed Chuxiu's heart so hard that he could even hear the sound of the blade cutting through flesh and blood.Because of his timely response, Chuxiu escaped a catastrophe, but was still stabbed on the left shoulder.The sudden pain in hair and skin accompanied by Qianyun's mournful cry made Chuxiu's mind froze and she almost lost consciousness.

"It was you who killed the master! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!" A small stream of blood gushed out from Chuxiu's shoulder and splashed on Qian Yun's face, but the latter seemed to be unknown and cried even more Terrible.Qian Yun pulled the dagger out of Chuxiu's shoulder with all her strength, wanting to stab again like crazy.

Chuxiu endured the severe pain in her shoulders, and almost forgot to resist, the only thing left in her ears was the phrase "You killed the master!" She raised her eyes to look at the backlighting Qian Yun, and she could feel the other party's resentment and pain for a split second .As women, Chuxiu can almost conclude that the shallow rhyme is not a disguise.

Just when she was out of her daze, there was a sudden flash of light and shadow in the room, and a burning red candle flew towards Qian Yun, just hitting her right hand that was holding on to the dagger.Qian Yun was caught off guard by being scalded, and the piece of red candle fell to the ground together with the dagger, and the orchid-orange light went out "shua", and the room became dim instantly.

"Come out of Xiu!" The calm and worried voice sounded hurriedly, followed by Shen Yu's breath rushing towards his face.There was a cry from Qianyun in the darkness, she should have been subdued by Shen Yu, but she still cried angrily: "I want to kill her! I want to avenge my master! I want..."

Qian Yun couldn't say what was going on, and Shen Yu covered her mouth.He immediately dragged the crazy Qianyun out of the door, and he didn't forget to tell Danxin: "Go and see Xiu!"

Calmly understanding, she quickly polished the fire pocket she was carrying, and asked Chuxiu's injury: "Where is your injury?" As soon as she said the words, she had already seen Chuxiu's appearance—Chuxiu's entire left shoulder was scarlet, The blood kept flowing.

Danxin suddenly became flustered, and was about to find a bandage, but Chuxiu grabbed his left arm tightly: "What's the matter, Lord Hou?"

Danxin was startled, took a deep breath pretending to be calm, and replied: "My wife passed away, the master is very sad, and now... is recuperating."

Where can Chuxiu believe it?Covering the wound, she asked in a hoarse voice: "Why did Qian Yun say that I killed him?"

Faced with Chuxiu's inquisitive eyes, Danxin's mind was also in chaos, and she reluctantly explained: "My wife passed away, sister Qianyun was overly sad, and her mind is not clear... You don't know, she never liked it very much. you……"

Talking calmly, thinking of the current situation in Yunfu, she couldn't help but shed tears.The wife died twice, the master died because of love, the wife was physically and mentally exhausted, Qian Yun was insane... Really, misfortunes never come singly!But all she can do as a maid is to do her master's job well and take good care of Chuxiu.

Because of this sentence, she even missed seeing her master for the last time!
Danxin suddenly didn't dare to face Chu Xiu, she was afraid that she would inadvertently show resentment and arouse Xiu's suspicion; she was even more afraid that she couldn't help it, told the whole truth, and ruined the arrangement of the master before his death.Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to find an excuse to leave: "I'll go and see Sister Qianyun, and then I'll let Young Master Heal your wounds."

"En." Chuxiu didn't ask any more questions, as if he believed the indifferent words, he leaned on the couch without saying a word, and fell into a drowsy sleep due to excessive blood loss.

She woke up with a sharp pain from the sting on her left shoulder.Chuxiu tried her best to open her eyes, and saw that a corner of her pajamas had been torn off, and Shen Yu was applying medicine for herself.

Chuxiu subconsciously hid, but was pushed back by Shen Yu: "Qianyun is a little mentally disturbed, don't worry about it." While applying the medicine, he said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow I will take you out of Fangzhou."

Are you leaving?Chuxiu was in a daze, feeling a thought flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.She tried her best to think back, and suddenly, Qian Yun's mournful cry came to her mind, and her mind, which was blinded by love and hurt, suddenly became enlightened!
Chuxiu looked at Shen Yu in horror, and suddenly grabbed his hand that was applying medicine: "Young Master, I want to see him again."

Shen Yu paused: "He won't see you."

"Really?" Chuxiu endured the pain in his throat and shoulders, his clear eyes dimmed instantly, and he almost tremblingly asked, "Tell me, is he... dead?"

With a "bang", Shen Yu accidentally dropped the medicine bottle on the ground.He quickly leaned over to pick it up, using this to hide his sadness and panic, and replied: "No."

"He is dead!" Shen Yu just denied it, but saw Mrs. Tai appeared at the door of the room in plain clothes, this time, there was no one to help her.She looked at Chuxiu through the low screen, and said in a cold voice with no expression on her face, "My son Yun Ci died to save you!"

"Mrs. Tai!" Shen Yu immediately followed the sound and found that Mrs. Tai was still clutching a thin piece of paper in her folded hands. He quickly got up and stood in front of Chuxiu, saying, "You shouldn't have come here!"

"This is Yunfu, why can't the old man come?" Mrs. Tai's expression was sombre, and under the candlelight, she could still see her frosty hair on the temples, which reflected tragically with her plain clothes.She stepped into the room with steady steps, without a trace of sadness on her face, as if overnight, she became the Mrs. Xie who was in charge of the Yun family again.

"Mrs. Tai!" Shen Yu hurriedly stepped in front of her, while reaching out to stop her, he reminded in a low voice, "Don't forget that you promised to hold her..."

"I haven't forgotten my old age." Mrs. Tai looked straight at Shen Yu unceremoniously, "I have a few words with Chuxiu. At that time, whether she stays or leaves, Yunfu will never stop her."

Shen Yu became a little anxious when he heard the words, and lowered his voice even more: "Wan Zhi's bones are still cold, do you want him to die with regret?"

"It's because my son's bones are not yet cold that the old man is coming here!" Mrs. Tai exuded a strong aura around her body, and her words and expressions were irreversible. She raised her hand and pushed Shen Yu, "Get out of the way!"

Shen Yu didn't take precautions, and was pushed so that he staggered, and when he stood still, he saw Mrs. Tai strode out to the couch.

Seeing Xiu again, she is holding her shoulder injury and trying to stand up.When she saw Mrs. Tai was also dressed in white today, she was startled suddenly, and finally couldn't help coughing.

Mrs. Tai had resentment and anger in her eyes, hurt and pity, and when she saw that Shen Yu wanted to stop him, she shouted coldly: "Come here!"

Outside the door, there was a sound of reply: "Mistress!" It sounded that there were dozens of people.Mrs. Tai turned around and looked at Shen Yu again: "Ci'er has just passed away, and his bones are not cold. I don't want to fight in the mansion. If you are interested, you can avoid it yourself."

Shen Yu instantly understood that those outside were not ordinary guards, but iron-faced dark guards raised by the Yun family.But he was entrusted by Yun Ci, so how could he be afraid of these people?He risked his life to protect Han Chu's!So Shen Yu didn't move, he stood on the spot and said, "Even if I splattered blood on the spot today, it's hard to obey."

Hearing this, Mrs. Tai narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly surprised and relieved, looked Shen Yu up and down, and then nodded slowly: "Okay! You are indeed Ci'er's best friend, not bad."

The candles in the room flickered, revealing a dangerous confrontation.At this moment, Chuxiu suddenly said quietly: "It just so happens that I also have something to tell Mrs. Tai, young master, please avoid it for now."

"Hanchu!" Shen Yu frowned and looked at the couch, he could only vaguely see half of Chuxiu's body.Her face, expression, and the wound on her left shoulder were all hidden in the shadow that the candlelight could not reach.Shen Yu was worried, and still stood still, "What's the matter, let's talk about it after you recover from your injury."

"Please avoid." Chuxiu repeated, his voice seemed hoarse than before.As early as when Mrs. Tai uttered the words "the bones are not cold" in Yunci, she already understood everything. Now, she also urgently needs to talk to Mrs. Tai alone.

Chuxiu coughed lightly, moved her body hidden in the shadow, and said to Shen Yu: "If you don't let me ask you clearly today, I'm afraid you won't be able to save me forever if you save me for a while."

This is life-threatening!Shen Yu was shocked, and all kinds of fear came to his heart.However, he knew that Chuxiu was stubborn, so he had no choice but to compromise, gritted his teeth and hinted to Mrs. Tai: "She has not recovered from her injuries, and her mood should not fluctuate."

Mrs. Tai gave Shen Yu a cold look and did not answer.

With such a mother, Shen Yu didn't know whether to express joy or sorrow for Yun.Reluctantly, he stepped out of the house to look around, and saw forty hidden guards kneeling in the courtyard, eight people in a row, five rows in total, all wearing silver masks, kneeling neatly to accept orders.

Seeing Shen Yu coming out, one of the hidden guards who looked like a leader got up from the ground first, cupped his hands and said, "I'm offended." After saying this, he gestured, and a group of hidden guards surrounded Shen Yu without making a move.But the person involved didn't respond, just stared at the door, his eyes revealing endless worries...

There was no movement in the house for a long time, but Shen Yu could guess what Mrs. Tai said.He was worried about himself, when a burst of heart-piercing cries suddenly came out, heart-wrenching.

It's Hanchu!Even though the voice was hoarse, Shen Yu could still hear it.Fearing that there would be an accident in Chuxiu, he rushed to rush into the house, but was stopped by the hidden guards with knives.At this point, Shen Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and hit the head of the dark guard closest to him with a punch, and with a quick wave of Hu Lan's sleeve, a cold light passed across the dark guard's throat.

Almost as quickly as lightning, he reached out and snatched the long sword from the hidden guard's hand, and watched him perish right under his nose.The other 39 hidden guards were shocked, one did not expect Shen Yu to do it, and the other also underestimated his skill.Seeing that his companion was killed in an instant, the hidden guards all attacked Shen Yu, but their moves did not dare to kill him.

Shen Yu's figure rose and fell several times, mainly retreating, dodging left and right, and shouted angrily with red eyes: "Mrs. Tai!"

"Stop!" There was a shout from inside the house at the right time, but before Mrs. Tai appeared, the voice came, "Let him in."

The hidden guards were ordered to make way.Shen Yu hurried into the house, and at a glance saw Chuxiu curled up on the couch, his hands hugging his knees expressionlessly.Shen Yu found that her body was trembling, and there was still a piece of yellowed paper in the palm of her left hand.It was Mrs. Tai who brought it.

Shen Yu immediately turned Chuxiu's shoulder and reached out to look at her left shoulder. Fortunately, the wound did not open.Looking at Mrs. Tai again, she had a slightly sad face, but she still looked calm.

"I want to take Han Chu away immediately!" He no longer cared about his seniority, and said solemnly to Mrs. Tai, "I respect you as Wan Zhi's mother, and please... respect his last wish."

Hearing this, Mrs. Tai still didn't respond much, she didn't even look at him, she just said: "Whether she is going or staying, what you say doesn't count."

Shen Yu clenched his fists tightly, and softly coaxed Chuxiu: "Didn't you let me take you away? Let's go now, get out of here immediately."

Chuxiu slowly raised her head, eyes filled with tears and looked at Shen Yu: "Okay, I'll go."

Shen Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a deal."

"Yeah." Chuxiu nodded in despair, then looked at Mrs. Tai, "I've let you down, since it was the arrangement of Master Hou during his lifetime, I choose to follow his last wish."

There was no lack of disappointment on Mrs. Tai's face, she closed her eyes slightly and said: "I misjudged the person, and I also overestimated your feelings for Ci'er...If that's the case, you can go."

"I want to wait for Master Hou to finish the first seven days before leaving, please allow me." Chuxiu begged humbly.

Mrs. Tai no longer wanted to embarrass her, so she simply nodded her head: "Okay."

Chuxiu Wenyan didn't speak any more, just struggled to get out of bed, ignored Shen Yu's obstruction, and insisted on kowtowing to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai accepted the gift expressionlessly, turned around and walked slowly outside the house.After walking two steps, he turned his head and said to Chuxiu: "Let's leave that piece of paper as a souvenir for you!"

Just this one sentence has already made Chuxiu's tears fall.She wanted to cry aloud, but at this moment she was hoarse, and she could only kneel down while watching Mrs. Tai leave.Her hands were shaking violently, and she couldn't exert any more strength, so she could only watch the piece of paper slip from her fingers.

On the slightly yellowed paper were densely packed rows of small characters, and the candle was flickering. Shen Yu couldn't see the content clearly. He could only see two names written side by side at the end of the paper. Out of Xiu.Behind these two names, there are also two bright red handprints.

Shen Yu picked up this piece of thin paper from the ground and tried to steady his mind to look at it, only to find that there were two large characters written on it - "marriage letter".In an instant, Shen Yu understood that this was something Yun Ci had always treasured, and he wanted to give Han Chu a title.

It's just that the promise is still there, but the person is long gone.Leaving only a piece of unfulfilled marriage letter, it is the testimony of this desperate love, and it is also the most precious relic of Yunci.

The mountain alliance is still there, and the brocade book is hard to entrust.

Since Mrs. Tai came that day, Chuxiu has become more silent and haggard, applying and drinking medicine on time every day, without making noise or shouting, and not crying in grief.

Although Shen Yu was relieved to see it, he felt something was wrong, as if Chuxiu had lost his brilliance and soul, and turned into a walking dead.

In a twinkling of an eye, the first seven days of Yunci are about to pass. In these days, the officials of the Nanxi family and the offshoots of the Yun family came overnight to pay homage to Li Xinhou who died young; King Mu, who was also in Fangzhou, also came to pay homage on behalf of the Nanxi clan. Worship; the side branches in Beixi are still on their way to Yanlan City.
