Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 32
[Chapter 23 (2)]
Afterwards, as if aware of the strange atmosphere in the flower hall, he couldn’t help but raised his head and glanced at Teng Yuyi.
Mrs. Du kept looking out the door, seeing Duan Ningyuan’s delay in showing up, she sighed in disappointment: “That day in Ziyun Tower, General Duan accused me and Ayu for no reason, I scolded him a few words in anger, Duan The little general is probably still unwilling to come over to see my elder.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed subtly.
Madam Duan said with a smile: “Madam is too worried, what happened that day was purely a misunderstanding, so she said it at that time, Ning Yuan is grateful for the teachings of the elders, today I know that Madam and Ayu are here, and it is too late to be happy, how can I avoid seeing them. Mrs.
Du smiled and sighed: “That’s right, I am a narrow-minded elder, and General Duan has a good reputation, so I expected not to be so confused.”
After saying that, she looked at the door again, and since she was not confused, the elders came to the door. , why did he, a junior, come late to greet him.
The distinguished guests in the hall were originally intended to be watched from the wall, but at this time they were a little overwhelmed. The grandmother was here, and the female family members of the Tendu family were here. General Duan just shrank and did not show up. He was really indifferent and rude. In this marriage, deliberately dispose of the Teng family.
Among the female family members present, there were already several ladies from Ziyun Tower that day. They knew that Duan Ningyuan and that Dong Er were a little bit innocent, but seeing Teng Yuyi’s blushing cheeks at this moment seemed to be enduring grievances, they couldn’t help but feel angry.
This Duan Ningyuan dared to bully Ayu like this before he got married. After he got married, was he still good? !
The husband of a certain Mrs. Hou was Teng Shao’s comrade, and he was the first to hold his breath and exclaimed: “That day in Ziyun Tower, General Duan claimed that he was confused after drinking alcohol. Are you drunk again? Madam Teng is in poor health, Madam Du is recovering from a serious illness, and Ayu has been exhausted for days and still comes to celebrate her birthday together. General Duan doesn’t come to ask for peace, it’s a bit unreasonable!”
As soon as these words came out, those female relatives who had been dissatisfied for a long time also rushed to reconcile. For a while, people in the flower hall made excuses, and Mrs. Duan couldn’t sit still, and said tremblingly: “Dalang is not such a person, definitely I got stuck on something, go and tell the master, and let him send someone to look for it.”
The servants responded, and when they came back, they only shook their heads, apparently finding nothing.
There was silence in the flower hall, could it be that Duan Ningyuan was not in the mansion at all?
The grandmother’s birthday, and the eldest grandson is not in the mansion, it is ridiculous to be disrespectful. If you were in the mansion, and insulted the lady who had never been there, no one would be able to swallow this breath.
Teng Yuyi felt the sympathetic eyes of everyone, and apologized to Mrs. Duan and Old Mrs. Duan. She returned to her aunt and deliberately sat between her aunt and cousin. The three of them had a tacit understanding, either in tears or full of anger. .
Everyone’s faces were unbearable. How could the Teng family get to this point?
Mrs. Duan and Duan Wenyin wanted to find a solution, but everyone’s mind was floating. This situation was so embarrassing that the host and the host didn’t know what to do. There was a sudden uproar
outside, and the servants were ecstatic: “The eldest son is here.”
As soon as they came in, they knelt down on one knee: “Grandson is late.”
Madam Duan and Madam Duan were relieved, and laughed and scolded: “It’s been so late, I’ve been worrying for so long! Where did you go? You can’t find it anywhere. You! Remember this meal today, and ask your grandfather to make it up for you tomorrow!”
Duan Ningyuan banged his head three times and said loudly, “The grandson should be punished. For today, the grandson specially prepared for the grandmother. A birthday gift, how do you know that the little people have thick hands and feet and dirty the makeup and brocade outside, the grandson is afraid that the grandmother’s eyes will be dirty, so they ordered them to change a new piece of silk, which took some time, and the grandson was afraid I was punished, and I personally wrapped it up and presented it to my grandmother. I don’t know if my grandmother liked it or not. If my grandmother can see it, I will punish my grandson less.” As he spoke,
his body trembled inadvertently.
Mrs. Duan laughed so hard that she couldn’t close her mouth: “It’s so pitiful to say, you can’t hide from a beating. Mrs. Du and Yu’er are over there, haven’t you seen it? Just kneel down and do what, don’t hurry over and ask for peace. ”
That’s right.” Madam Duan said with a feigned anger, “Yu’er happily came to celebrate her grandmother’s birthday, but was left aside by you for no reason. If you don’t make a good apology to Yu’er today, I won’t forgive you for the first time.”
Duan Ningyuan turned to the three of Teng Yuyi and said with a deep bow, “This junior apologizes to Madam. The younger one is late, so I hope Madam will not blame her.” Madam
Du squeezed out a smile and said, “Don’t be too polite, please get up quickly. .”
Duan Ningyuan turned to Teng Yuyi again, bowed his brows and cupped his hands and said, “Forgive me for being negligent… madam.”
Teng Yuyi turned sideways to avoid salute: “General Duan is serious.”
Old Lady Duan and Mrs. Man, Duan Ningyuan straightened his waist, but suddenly, his shoulders shook again. This movement was almost invisible and hard to be noticed, but he couldn’t hide from Teng Yuyi’s eyes. She smiled slightly and lowered her eyelashes calmly.
Duan Ningyuan had overestimated himself, and dared to show his face when itchy bugs were on their upper body.
It is estimated that Duan Ningyuan has been struggling for a while before, and it is really unreasonable to bite the bullet and come out to meet the guests.
If you don’t come out to meet guests, you are not filial and arrogant.
When you come out to meet guests, you will inevitably reveal clues.
But if he can keep going, won’t Lin Chengyou be bragging? Since it is said that this worm [makes your life worse than death and tickles and blooms], it can naturally make life worse than death.
She was not in a hurry, let’s see how long Duan Ningyuan could endure.
After Duan Ningyuan bowed, he was about to go to Old Madam Duan, but as soon as he took a step, his body suddenly moved again. This time, the movement was too big and attracted everyone’s attention.
Duan Ningyuan gritted his teeth secretly, and Yun Danfeng gently instructed his servants: “Give the gift to grandma first.”
Everyone looked around for a while, only to think that their eyes were dazzling, and just as they were about to look away, Duan Ningyuan couldn’t help but twitch again.
This time even Mrs. Du and Du Tinglan noticed, Mrs. Duan asked curiously, “Dalang, what’s the matter with you?”
Duan Ningyuan stood tall and straight, and even at this time, this pine-like demeanor still made people feel Unable to find fault, he forced a smile and said, ”
It’s okay.” However, after speaking, his eyebrows twitched again, as if it was unbearable. He gritted his teeth against his collar.
This is very rude, just like what Tian Chenu did.
Everyone felt more and more strange, Duan Ningyuan didn’t seem to care about saying hello, and went out in a hurry. Mrs. Duan and Mrs. Duan didn’t know what to do. Seeing that Duan Ningyuan was behaving strangely and consciously losing face, they shouted in unison ,
“Darang!”
Grabbing it back, this move was almost complacent, and many of the young women lost their voices in surprise, this… What’s going on.
Duan Ningyuan was trembling all over, trying to control himself, but his head was dripping with cold sweat and his expression was extremely convulsive.
Everyone was so surprised that they couldn’t move. Several ladies who had been to Ziyun Tower remembered the scene that day, and said in awe: “Isn’t this the ticklish poison of Dong Erniang’s day?”
“Dong Erniang?”
Madam Du was stunned: “I just said Why does it look so familiar, not to mention that I haven’t remembered it yet, it’s weird, how could the poison on Dong Erniang go to Young Master Duan?”
The pot exploded in the flower hall.
“Itching poison? What is itching poison.” Someone asked.
“It’s an itchy bug.”
“Who is Dong Erniang?” another group of people asked.
“Dong Erniang is the second thousand gold of the county magistrate of Wannian County. On the day of the Shangsi Festival, she pretended to be sick and deceived Cheng Wang Shizi’s Liuyuan Pill, and Cheng Wang Shizi found out on the spot. She has been imprisoned in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. I cast the itch bug.”
“Ah? Since Dong Erniang is in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, why did Young Master Duan get this poison?”
In the sound of everyone’s discussion, Duan Ningyuan’s body was cold and hot, and every pore was tingling.
He was so itchy that he couldn’t stop it, the sweat rolled down, and his limbs couldn’t help twitching. He wanted to leave the flower hall, but every muscle on his legs was trembling, and he didn’t listen to his commands.
He was terrified that Dong Erniang had been tortured in prison for the past few days. Because he was unwilling to give others a hand, he had never approached Lin Chengyou, but because he could not bear Dong Erniang’s suffering, he had asked several medical officers to examine her one after another.
The medical officer thought of many ways, and they all said that Dong Erniang’s poison has no cure, and it can be passed on, so be careful when approaching.
He kept these words in his heart. He hadn’t met Dong Erniang in the past few days. When did he contract this poison? He didn’t know it at all.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt two icy gazes coming towards him. His five senses were sharper than ordinary people. He gritted his teeth and raised his eyes to look over. A young lady across from him was looking at him in panic. Ru skirt.
Duan Ningyuan was stunned for a moment. He was still young when they got engaged, and he didn’t even see Teng Yuyi’s face. After she went to Yangzhou, the two didn’t even have a chance to meet. After a few years, his impression of Teng Yuyi had faded away. .
He didn’t even raise his head when he came in and saluted, he couldn’t imagine… that Teng Yuyi’s face was so dazzling.
Are those two cold eyes just now hers? He was suspicious, but Teng Yu’s panic was so seamless that he couldn’t really see the flaw.
While thinking about it, his arm was already grabbing the front chest out of control. Mrs. Duan and Duan Wenyin saw that Duan Ningyuan was so out of control, and they were already panicked: “Go and tell the master that Dalang is ill, and let the master quickly find a medical officer to see a doctor.”
After all, Mrs. Duan had seen the wind and waves, and she immediately said in a trembling voice: “Yes, yes, where is the itching poison? This is obviously because of the discomfort. Dalang suffered from wind disease when he was a child
. It’s the wind group!” Duan Wenyin answered hurriedly, “I heard that this disease is very annoying, and it looks like this when it itches.”
But Teng Yuyi said coldly: “The wind group can’t help the wind, and the windows and drawers in the flower hall are all open. If General Duan stays in the hall any longer, the itch will get worse.”
Madam Duan and Duan Wenyin were reminded by these words, and hurried over to help Duan Ningyuan.
Duan Ningyuan shook her head and was about to step back, but one step late, although Duan Wenyin withdrew her hand in time, Mrs. Duan took her son’s arm.
Duan Ningyuan was trembling all over, she pushed Madam Duan away with all her strength, and said sternly, “Auntie, don’t, don’t touch me.”
Madam Duan was shocked, and before she could figure out what was going on, her arms climbed up with a strange feeling. Feeling the itch, she shivered. After the first hit, there would naturally be a second and third hit.
Mrs. Duan’s skill is far inferior to her son’s. Once the attack occurs, it is far less than the son’s ability to endure. The flesh on her face began to twitch, and she scratched everywhere: “Itchy, itchy, itchy.
” What’s going on? Madam Duan went mad in a blink of an eye. The wind group won’t be passed on, it’s clearly a poisonous insect!
“This is itchy bug!” Several Hou ladies panicked, “Dong Erniang was like this that day, Prince Cheng said that this poison would be passed down, and told the palace people not to touch Dong Erniang, you see, Madam Duan only touches it. He was infected.”
After hearing this, everyone was surprised and puzzled: “But according to what you said, there were so many people in Ziyun Tower that day, and no one except Dong Erniang was infected with this poison. Why did it only take a few days, Duan? The son will suddenly be infected?”
“Then I don’t know, this bug will not run around, there must be a reason for being infected.”
Duan Ningyuan’s face became more and more ugly, and several female relatives of the Duan family heard it. Trembling, after such a good birthday banquet, all the old faces were thrown away.
While speaking, the Duan family’s mother and son twisted more and more violently, and the people were afraid of being contaminated, and they dispersed like a tide. In a huge flower hall, only the Duan family’s mother and son were left struggling.
