Chapter 72: A wrong marriage kills three generations
Xiao Yueshan's carriage was not big, and after settling Qiu Zhuo, Qiu Shunci and Du Juan, there was no room for her to sit. Fortunately, she was not arrogant, so it was not impossible for her to follow the carriage with Shu Tong.
But she had completely overestimated her physical strength. The Qiu family's Jincheng Lane was in the west of the city, and the Xiao family's Xuanyang Lane was in the east. She didn't feel the swaying of the carriage, but why did it take so long to walk? In addition, she had just saved people, put out the fire, and quarreled with Tang Shuyi's mother. Now she was wearing a veil and was really hot and tired.
Everyone in the group was exhausted physically and mentally, but she gritted her teeth and insisted on walking, feeling even more disgusted with Tang Shuyi's family.
After finally returning to the Xiao family, the servant had already gone to Jishidiang to invite the doctor. Xiao Yueshan looked at Mother Zhang who was waiting at the door, and his heavy steps could not help but quicken.
"Mother Zhang, hurry up! Tell someone to clean up a few guest rooms. Mr. Qiu's son-in-law wanted to kill them, and I happened to save him!" Her voice was not loud, but she spoke clearly.
There are many ministers' mansions in Xuanyang Lane and its surroundings where the Xiao family lives. Now that the Xiao family has returned in disgrace, she said this, and I'm sure all the doormen around will know about it. It's no secret that Tang Shuyi bullied the Qiu family.
"Everything has been prepared as the young lady ordered. The doctor has also arrived. We are just waiting for the guests to arrive." Mother Zhang replied, and the servants helped to carry Qiu Zhe and the other two down from the carriage.
Qiu Zhuo's bruised face, Qiu Shunci's unconsciousness, and Du Juan's bruises were enough to prove the evil deeds of the Tang family. Xiao Yueshan looked coldly at the prying eyes around him through the veil. Look, look, people who commit domestic violence deserve to be put to death.
All three were seriously injured. Qiu Zhuo only had superficial injuries, but he was old and weak. He had suffered multiple fractures after being beaten by his son-in-law. He was left in the woodshed without water or food, and developed a high fever. The doctor prescribed medicine and asked the servant to wash him thoroughly to dissipate the heat. He only needed time to rest and heal the injured bones.
Qiu Shunci was finally rescued from the fire. She inhaled some smoke and never woke up. She was coughing in a coma. The doctor cleaned her mouth and nose and prescribed some medicine. Xiao Yueshan was very worried about her. Inhaling smoke in a fire mainly damages the respiratory system. If the respiratory tract is burned and inflamed, there were no antibiotics in ancient times, so it would be very dangerous and she could only leave it to fate.
When the doctor was treating Qiu Shunci, Du Juan was wrapped in a bed sheet, shivering and watching with concern. When Qiu Shunci's injury was almost treated, everyone noticed her.
The fire scene was dirty, messy, and there was a lot of smoke. Xiao Yueshan only knew that she was injured. Now that she arrived at the clean and bright Xiao family's house, she noticed that Du Juan's body was blue and purple, and she couldn't help but think in a bad direction.
Although women's chastity was valued in ancient times, people were divided into different classes. Women like Du Juan who were sold as maids were implicitly considered the property of their masters. Even if Tang Shuyi and others forced her, she had nowhere to turn to.
Xiao Yueshan is a modern person. When encountering this situation, the solution she could think of was to preserve the evidence and call the police, but there was no hospital or police here, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
She was not very good at comforting people and didn't know how to enlighten Du Juan.
Du Juan was very strong. She walked closer to Xiao Yueshan and whispered, "Miss Xiao, my body is only covered with superficial wounds. I won't bother the doctor. Can you please let me clean them?"
Tears welled up in her eyes and her lips couldn't help but tremble. Xiao Yueshan didn't know how to preserve evidence in ancient times, and was a little hesitant. She pulled Du Juan away from the others and asked in a low voice: "Du Juan, do you want to sue them?"
The woman sighed, "The son-in-law has been targeting me since he married the young lady, but the young lady protected him and he didn't succeed. Later, the son-in-law became more cautious after he married Li Niang, but now that Li Niang is pregnant, he can no longer suppress his evil intentions."
She gritted her teeth and swallowed hard before continuing, "My brother-in-law's two brothers are also filthy scoundrels. This time, when the master and the young lady were in trouble, they couldn't hold back for a moment..."
She couldn't help crying, but she clenched her teeth to prevent herself from losing control. "My life was saved by the master and his wife. I was only eight years old that year. My father and mother wanted to sell me to a trafficker and take me to a brothel. The master and his wife spent a lot of money to buy me and asked me to take good care of the young lady.
My life and my innocence belong to the Qiu family. If the young lady wants me to serve someone, I will not hesitate. People are cheap skin and cheap flesh, and they are the same as anyone else.
But the master treats me as a daughter like the young lady, and the young lady also said that she hopes I can choose someone I like and not waste my whole life, and has been protecting me all the time. Then I can't let the master and the young lady down, I don't like any man in this world, I just want to stay with the young lady and take care of her for the rest of my life."
Du Juan wiped her tears with her hands and said, "Miss Xiao, don't worry about me. Now the master and the young lady are both unconscious. Du Juan will not commit suicide. I still want to keep this body to serve the young lady."
She looked at Qiu Shunci lying on the bed and said, "If...if the young lady is not able to make it, there is still the young lady. I will protect the young lady and help her grow up."
She lowered her head, as if to encourage herself: "Just think of it as being bitten by a dog. If a person is bitten by a dog, does that mean he will die?"
Xiao Yueshan didn't expect Du Juan's spiritual core to be so strong. She nodded and looked at Du Juan with a firm gaze, "Good girl! I really admire you! I'll ask Shu Tong to take you to clean up. If you are seriously injured, you still need to see a doctor."
She called Shutong to take Dujuan to wash and change clothes, and asked Shutong to get medicine to help Dujuan apply it.
After working for most of the day, Xiao Zheng and Zhou Yao also returned from work. When they learned about the outrageous things that happened in the Qiu family, they were both shocked.
Xiao Zheng hurried to the guest room to see his old friend. Qiu Zhuo had taken some medicine and his fever had gone down, and he was now more sober.
"Brother Xiao..." Qiu Zhu burst into tears when he saw Xiao Zheng, "I wonder if my daughter is okay?"
"Shan'er has already hired a doctor to treat your daughter, and she is still recuperating. Brother Qiu doesn't have to worry too much." Xiao Zheng sat down beside the bed and comforted her.
"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" Qiu burst into tears, "It's all my fault for not being able to judge people, and for being blind! I found such a thing and brought it back to harm my daughter!" He pounded the bed fiercely, "It's all my fault! It's my fault for being incompetent! I couldn't protect Shunci!"
Qiu Zhuo felt extremely remorseful. He regretted that he was not good at managing his official career and could not help his daughter find a better husband. He also hated that his official position was too low to control his in-laws. He was so angry that he coughed up blood.
Xiao Zheng helped him to calm down. Qiu Zhuo said while panting, "Marrying the wrong person can kill three generations! I must help Shunci get a divorce and escape from the Tang family, this den of tigers and wolves! Shunci has suffered so much. I won't be able to see her mother even if I die!"
