Bondage

"Miss, Master Hou is here."

Heng Zhi frowned and reported, Song Wan put down the book and patted his forehead, quite disturbed.

She pursed her lips and murmured, "I knew I couldn't escape."

I don't know why Jiang Xingjian didn't ask clearly when he came over at noon, which caused her to drink the melon di water again, and suffered another annoying taste.

When Jiang Xingjian entered the room, he saw Song Wan's complexion was paler than before, she was leaning on the back of the stone-blue foreign cloth, her brows were tightly knit, and she looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Have you seen the government doctor?"

Song Wan nodded, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Jiang Xingjian was very worried, and hurriedly asked Heng Zhi to find a doctor from the government.

"No need, the Bairi government doctor just saw it, and there is nothing serious."

Song Wan stood up, and Heng Zhi came to help him.

"Master Hou is here, what's the matter?"

"Something is looking for you."

Looking down at the list of people who were sold out in his hand, Jiang Xingjian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter what you say."

Song Wan stretched out his hand to invite Jiang Xingjian to sit down, and poured two cups of hot tea.

Jiang Xingjian looked pale, and pushed the list in front of Song Wan: "These are servants who were sold out in the mansion. I have sent people to find their whereabouts, but there should be some rumors outside the mansion..."

"And today Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun came to the mansion and pushed the marriage between the two mansions."

Song Wan frowned, and then quickly recovered.

She spent a lot of money on her marriage with the Sun family, and she doesn't want to see it end now.

"Do you have a way to keep the Hou Mansion from being implicated?"

Song Wan lowered his eyes to hide his emotions.

Jiang Xingjian only thought that she was thinking about countermeasures, but she sat for a while, and when she looked up again her face was frighteningly pale, and she looked clearly enduring pain.There were bursts of cold sweat on the girl's forehead, but she still forced herself to pick up the list and read it carefully.

"Forget it, your body is important, you should rest first, and I will figure out a solution for the affairs of the mansion."

Taking the list from Song Wan's hand, Jiang Xingjian looked worried: "Go to the room to rest first."

Song Wan didn't try to be brave, got up with difficulty and walked back to the room.

Xia Ri was dressed lightly. When she turned around, Jiang Xingjianfang found that the clothes on her back were soaked in cold sweat and stuck to her skin.

Jiang Xingjian pursed his lips, hesitated and followed.

"I'll ask the government doctor to diagnose your pulse."

Heng Zhi said: "The government doctor will come to take grandma's pulse every day these few days, and they haven't found out what's wrong. They just say let Duoduo rest and rest, don't bother yourself."

"A few days ago, three or four government doctors came in shifts in the mansion, and grandma had to change her clothes many times a day. I saw that they were heavier than they were in the future."

"If Master Hou takes pity on grandma, it would be better to stop torturing her."

Heng Wu said coldly at the side: "How can there be less tossing around? The house is in such a mess, even if the lady crawls out, she has to climb out to clean up the mess for others."

The two chattered and insinuated, and Jiang Xingjian froze, leaving only a good rest, and left the Lan Courtyard.

As soon as he left, Song Wan curled up in the quilt.

"Miss, this servant has poured soup on you to warm up your body."

Holding Tang Pozi into his arms, Song Wan felt relieved.

"Miss is the mistress of the Hou Mansion. You can escape the matter of managing the family for a while, but you can't escape forever. You can't keep hurting yourself like this."

Song Wan closed her eyes and sighed lightly: "Rumors are spreading outside, the Song family will definitely do something, I want to see what father... will do."

She had an extravagant hope in her heart, and although she knew it would not be easy, she yearned for it in the end.

Heng Zhi Heng Wu could also see a little bit of her thoughts, and couldn't help feeling sad, and served her more carefully.

Because Song Wan was still ill, Jiang Xingjian had to deal with the chaos in the Hou Mansion by himself. He was on duty during the day, and he had to learn how a woman managed the back house when he was on duty, which was too much for him.Fortunately, Huai Su was still able to help him share some of the burden. Seeing that Huai Su handled it properly and was familiar with the woman in charge of the mansion, he slowly let go and handed it over to her.

Lin Jiayue was very dissatisfied with this, but now Jiang Xingjian was avoiding her everywhere, leaving her with nowhere to show her anger.

"Auntie, Madam Chen, please see me."

"What is she here for?"

Qian Bi shook her head to express her ignorance, Lin Jiayue had no choice but to welcome the guests, but she was startled by what she said the first time she saw Mrs. Chen.

Lin Jiayue was shocked when she heard it: "1 taels of dowry?"

"That's right, who in Shangjing doesn't know that the third lady of the Hou's Mansion is usually in her boudoir and likes to read some evil books and miscellaneous books? What family would dare to marry such an unruly woman?"

"What miscellaneous books and evil books?"

Lin Jiayue was puzzled.

Mrs. Chen sneered and said: "The rumors outside... are not rumors at all. They are not the servants of the Hou's mansion who sold them out? There is a servant who said that when they are young, the three girls of the Hou's mansion like to read miscellaneous books the most. Reciting in a low voice in the room, at such an age you have lost your temper, and for such an ignorant girl, it is a great grievance that I, the Chen family, are still willing to propose marriage."

"It can be seen that our two families have exchanged Geng Tie, I can only suffer from being dumb, but this dowry is less than 1 taels."

Lin Jiayue pursed her lips, and it was only at this moment that she finally understood why both Song Wan and Jiang Xingjian said that servants could not sell them.

only……

"Are you threatening me?"

"Aunt Lin's words are ugly. The girls in the Hou's mansion don't understand the rules, so how could it be our fault?"

Lin Jiayue narrowed her eyes and said disdainfully, "I want to know, what kind of evil books are worth 1 taels of silver?"

Mrs. Chen gave her a sideways glance: "Where did I know Xu is from "The Story of Yingying" and "The Peony Pavilion"?"

"I think you've lost your head because of money, and you're threatening me with this kind of thing? You go out and talk to see if anyone is willing to talk to you. As for the marriage between the Hou Mansion and the Chen Manor, do you like it or not? I also want to see if the girls in the Hou Mansion will not be able to get married without your Chen family!"

"Good good."

Mrs. Chen was almost overwhelmed with anger.

She stood up suddenly, her long and narrow eyes were full of calculations: "Don't say that I didn't tell you today, if the reputation of this girl's family is bad, there is only one way to go, do you understand?"

"The girl in my Hou's mansion is from a bad family, and she won't marry your Chen family."

Lin Jiayue sneered and turned to leave, feeling that Mrs. Chen was really crazy.

It's just that you lost your chastity just by watching Yingying's biography of the Peony Pavilion.

Jiang Xingjian scolded her so furiously that Madam Chen came to threaten her again. If she didn't want to make any more troubles, she would have poured hot tea all over Chen's face just now.

Previously, she strongly recommended the Chen family to settle Jiang Jing's marriage, but now that Mrs. Chen suddenly turned against her, she really couldn't add fuel to the fire at this juncture.And she was sure that the other party was just coming to the Hou's mansion to make trouble, so she didn't tell anyone about it.

Unexpectedly, the Chen family turned around and swaggered to the door to withdraw the marriage. The reason used was that the third lady of the Hou Mansion was not chaste, and she didn't study "Biography of Women" and "Four Books of Women" in her boudoir. thing.
