The Queen Mother's Kitchen Knife

Chapter 1 Rebirth (2)
Someone approached, it should be the imperial physician.Then the hands holding her loosened.Tang Jingyue wanted to grab it back, but she didn't have the strength.

The imperial physician put his finger on her wrist, and after a while, bent over and rolled over her half-opened eyelids.

Just when she felt that the imperial doctor was too ignorant of the rules, the imperial doctor said: "My lord, the eldest lady is fine, but the hanging beam has damaged her throat. You must speak less before she fully recovers. The bruises on her neck will open down A bottle of Lingyu ointment to smear. The eldest lady should take good care of her body these days, and don't grieve too much."

What is the Duke of the country, Missy?

Tang Jingyue's mind suddenly regained clarity.

She closed her eyes hard, and when she opened them again, the scene in front of her eyes finally became clear.

However, everything she saw surprised her.

An old man with gray temples was sitting beside her bed, looking at her with red eyes.Seeing her looking over, warm big palms held her hand firmly.

Tang Jingyue felt that it was those hands just now, thick and rough.

She recognized this old man, Hua Shixing, who was proclaimed Duke Protector by the late emperor because of his great military exploits. He is nearly half a century old and has military power.

The reason she remembered it was because Hua Shixing had only one daughter, and he recruited a poor student to be his son-in-law.But one year after the marriage, Ms. Hua died of dystocia, leaving behind a daughter.Unexpectedly, half a year later, a concubine from the official servant's family came to the door with a big belly, saying that she was the flesh and blood of the old lady in Huafu.Although Duke Protector was angry, he pitied his granddaughter for having no mother, so he did not expel his son-in-law, and even agreed with his son-in-law to accept a concubine who was a servant of the Ministry of Officials.

This matter has been discussed for a long time among the female family members of the noble mansion in the imperial capital.

And it was precisely because the Hua family's line of incense had been cut off that the late emperor had always been at ease in his control of military power.

But now, why are you sitting by her bed with a loving face and holding her hand?
Looking at the dull-faced granddaughter, Hua Shixing cried and hugged her into his arms: "Rong Yue, my poor grandson, you have to go with your father, don't you care about grandpa? How to live?"

Tang Jingyue, who was embraced by Hua Shixing, froze.Grandson, son?

She looked at the people standing by the bed, and they were all unfamiliar faces, with red eyes as if they had been crying.

What about Minfang and the others?This is not the palace, she is in the Duke Protector's Mansion? !
Hua Shixing called her "Rong Yue" and "grandson" and hugged her.Could it be that she was reborn in the body of Hua Shixing's granddaughter, Hua Rongyue, through a dead body?

Thinking of this, Tang Jingyue couldn't help sweating down her back.How could she encounter such a ghostly thing?

Although she didn't want to believe it, the warmth of her neck and throat forced her to believe it.She is drowning, but Hua Rongyue is hanging on her neck!

Just when Tang Jingyue was extremely anxious, a woman rushed in suddenly, crying miserably.

"Miss, why are you so stupid! The old lady and aunt will take care of you after my aunt has gone, why are you so upset!"

While shouting, she ran to Tang Jingyue and knelt down at the feet of Duke Hu Guo.

It's the concubine lady of the official minister!

Tang Jingyue looked at her carefully.I saw that the woman was dressed in plain clothes. Although her face was mournful and distressed, and her hair was messy, her beautiful face made her stand invincible in the wind and rain like a branch of red plum, which aroused both sorrow and pity.Kneeling on the ground, his limp body expressed how sad and painful he was, and the mourning overflowing from his mouth showed endless hurt.Can……

As a concubine, she had the guts to have an affair with Duke Hu's son-in-law secretly, and then successfully entered the mansion afterwards. This kind of woman would not be a soft-hearted person.

Just thinking of this, and seeing that the aunt's eyes looked at her not only without the slightest pity, but full of resentment, Tang Jingyue immediately concluded that this aunt was definitely a scheming person.

It seems that regardless of the population decline of the Protector's Mansion, there are also a lot of bad things.

But she had just arrived, and she knew nothing about the situation here except for the hippie things circulating in the imperial capital.Moreover, what's going on now, Hua Shixing's son-in-law—that is, Hua Rongyue's father died?

How did you die?Hua Shixing's son-in-law is a thin and weak scholar, and no one dares to provoke him with his official authority as Duke Hu Guo, so how could he die.

Each question disturbed Tang Jingyue's heart like a mess.The body was weak and weak, and gradually fell asleep again.

Hua Shixing arranges his granddaughter well, and after carefully instructing his servants to take care of the young lady, he will take Dianshi to the son-in-law's funeral.

"You and the housekeeper can make arrangements for Wenlai's funeral."

Aunt Dian wiped her tears and replied: "My concubine will definitely send my aunt An Sheng away."

After all, he couldn't help crying again.

Hua Shixing looked at her, thinking that she lost her husband-in-law and would only be able to live with a few children in the future, so he felt a little pity for her, and left after a few words of comfort.

If you want to say who is the most pitiful in the Duke Protector's mansion, the Duke Protector is the most pitiful.When the military service was still alive, the original wife died of illness and did not continue; the middle-aged official was majestic and dignified, and the only daughter died of dystocia; now half a century has passed, the son-in-law died again, and the whole family is left alone with a granddaughter who wants to commit suicide. It really makes people cry .

After Aunt Dian sent Hua Shixing away respectfully, she glanced at Tang Jingyue's boudoir without paying attention, and cursed in a low voice: "Little hooves are really lucky."

After all, I took my mother-in-law to work.

……

Tang Jingyue rested on the bed for three consecutive days before she was finally allowed to walk on the ground by Hua Shixing.But still can't speak.

It's not that he can't speak a single word, it's just that the voice is like the howling winter night wind passing through the hall, the squeaking is unpleasant, and it hurts too.Fortunately, Tang Jingyue didn't say a word, and took a good rest to prevent her throat from becoming broken in the future.

"Miss, the sun is quite good today, can this servant help you to go around the garden?"

The girl Xia Lian is a considerate person, she is only 12 years old, and she is meticulous and considerate in taking care of others. Tang Jingyue likes her very much.

Touching the neatly tied bun on Xia Lian's head, Tang Jingyue nodded amid Xia Lian's blushing and surprised smile.

She also wanted to go out for a walk and visit the home of Duke Protector's Mansion.

She couldn't ask, so she didn't get much useful information from the servants in the past few days.One could only guess from Xia Lian's sobs when she was with her that the reason why Hua Rongyue committed suicide by hanging from the beam was related to Aunt Dian in the mansion.

Hua Rongyue had no mother since she was a child, and she was very afraid of rough people like her grandfather, so she was very close to her father.But after Dianshi came in and gave birth to a son and daughter, her father gradually didn't care so much about her.In private, Dianshi always runs on Hua Rongyue from time to time.Coupled with being in charge of Zhongfei, Dianshi made Hua Rongyue feel a little bit depressed in life.

Once his father died, thinking that he would have no support in the future and would be bullied by the Dian family, the cowardly Hua Rongyue couldn't think about it for a while, so he hanged himself.
