Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 8

[Chapter 8]

The lady in charge was crying fiercely, but a woman interrupted her coldly: “It happened suddenly, Mrs. Teng must have her reason for this arrangement. Prince Cheng is the disciple and grandson of Taoist priest Qingxu, and he is there, and he is afraid of saving him. Can’t you be my wife? Where is Lady Teng now? She is still young, she must be frightened when such a thing happens, take us in quickly, I have to see her with my own eyes to be relieved.”

Duan Wenyin’s words were not leaking. On the face of it, he cared for the Teng family, but in fact, he reminded his younger brother not to lose his temper because of Dong Erniang.

Duan Ningyuan really restrained, and immediately changed the subject: “Sir, are all the injured in the house?”

Madam Du was originally puzzled, but she was relieved to hear this.

Lin Chengyou responded and asked the palace servant, “How is the house arranged?”

“According to the prince’s instructions, the five injured women have been placed on a Hu bed, with a thick curtain in front of the bed, only the bottom of the scoop is exposed. Identify.”

“Mrs. An Guogong doesn’t have to be with the other injured people. She has been possessed by monsters for so long. It is not known whether she can survive tonight. There is a hot soup in the room, and a calf in front of her to be sent off. After taking the first dose of the decoction, immediately send Mrs. An Guogong to Qingyun Temple.”

“Yes.”

Teng Yu got up with her aunt in anticipation of someone from outside coming in. The power fence on her head was never removed. There is no need to avoid suspicion.

There were a lot of people, in addition to Lin Chengyou and the people from the Zhenguo Gongfu, there were also a lot of ladies in cloud-necked costumes.

Duan Wenyin was the first to enter the room.

Recently, women in Chang’an are wearing Hu people’s men’s clothing, and Duan Wenyin is also keen on this. Although she is going to a banquet today, she does not wear a skirt but wears Hu people’s clothing. , She is tall and straight, this dress is not abrupt, but has a kind of heroic bearing.

Duan Wenyin looked left and right after entering the room, and strode towards Madam Du and Teng Yuyi: “Forgive us for being late, His Royal Highness Qiantou County was busy evacuating everyone, and the few of us refused to leave. We must come over to take a look before you can rest assured, Madam. Haven’t you been frightened? Is Yu’er still okay? How are the injured people in the house now?”

Mrs. Du led Teng Yuyi to greet her, and said with a smile, “Mrs. Lao is concerned, everything is fine now.”

Teng Yuyi showed a sweet smile and bowed in a proper manner.

Duan Wenyin grabbed Teng Yuyi and looked up and down, the goose-yellow half arm, the monofilament Biluo cage skirt, and the soap gauze of the power fence could block the peeping from a distance, but could not block the close-up scrutiny. The child’s eyes are like clear pools, and the complexion is as white as frost. She is truly a beautiful beauty.

“I haven’t seen each other for three or four years. The last time the two families got married, Yu’er was a little baby, but now she has grown so tall. I heard that Yu’er was coming a few days ago, and I happened to be in Chang’an. In the past few days, I have invited you to Ximing Temple to enjoy flowers, but I didn’t know that something like this happened when I first came here. Fortunately, our aunt was there, otherwise I would be scared.”

Madam Du said enthusiastically: “This child has a strong temperament and is afraid of But I wasn’t afraid, but the monster is too scary, and it’s better to turn around and get rid of the shock.”

After speaking, Mrs. Du took Teng Yu to talk to other wives, including the in-laws of the Zhenguo Gongfu, as well as those with Teng’s family. Shao had colleagues and family members of Paoze Zhiyi.

While speaking, Mrs. Du looked behind Duan Wenyin and saw a young gentleman standing at the door, dressed in brocade and jade crown, with a pine-like figure, it was General Duan.

Mrs. Du’s eyes burst into laughter, this family has a good relationship, and this child is getting better and better.

General Duan was quite polite. After entering the room, he lowered his eyes and cupped his hands: “The younger generation has seen Madam.” Madam

Du smiled and nodded: “Okay, you have your heart.”

After a few words of greetings, Madam Du casually looked outside the room, Prince Cheng’s son Zhuyu was by his side, and the brilliance of the whole room had to be moved to Ning Yuan. It was strange to say that Prince Cheng’s appearance was obviously cynical, but he was more eye-catching than General Duan.

Lin Chengyou refused to come in. While they were talking, he sat crooked on the Hu chair outside, tapping his fingers on the handle carelessly. When the palace servants brought the tea, he put a talisman on the tea bowl and asked them to give it quickly. Mrs. Anguo took it.

After entering the house, the lady in charge of the Dong family kept following Lin Chengyou. Seeing that he was done with his work, she hurriedly knelt down in front of Lin Chengyou: “Sir, it’s important to save people. Please give the old slave another pill for the life-saving elixir.”

“No more. .” Lin Chengyou answered very succinctly.

There was silence in the room, and everyone’s eyes turned away.

After Duan Ningyuan bowed to Madam Du, he stood there quietly, his face was calm and self-controlled, but he couldn’t hide the fear in his eyes. Hearing this, he forced a smile and said: “The prince loves to joke. , let alone a bottle of medicinal herbs, the technique of bringing back the dead is not a problem. Take it out and reward this servant girl, so as not to be annoying and crying.”

Lin Chengyou said calmly: “The medicinal pill is called Liuyuan Dan, and the medicinal materials are special. It’s not easy to come by. Master spent a lot of time refining this bottle of medicinal herbs. He was reluctant to take it and gave it to me for self-defense. The first one has already been used up, so I can use another bottle, just wait. A few years will do.”

Duan Wenyin and Mrs. Du were stunned, it turned out to be the famous Liuyuan Dan, I heard that this medicine can also be taken by ordinary people, not only can it prolong illness, but also women can beautify their skin.

But refining this medicine pays attention to chance, and it may not be possible to get a bottle in ten years, because it is not easy to obtain, it is comparable to Wuhua Tianbao.

There are many people in Chang’an who have heard of Liuyuan Pill, all of them are greedy, and if they put it on others, they may have caused disasters long ago, but because it was Lin Chengyou’s thing, no one dared to make an idea.

The lady in charge was stunned for a long time, and couldn’t help crying: “How many years? Isn’t my lady helpless? The poor lady only reached her wedding last month, and she looks like a flower like jade. She has such a hard life.”

She cried while lying on the ground. He fell to the ground: “When the master arrives, he will definitely be heartbroken. Madam is in bed, and if she hears the bad news of the lady, I’m afraid it won’t happen. It’s all because of the stupidity of the old slave. Even the three servants of General Teng’s family were rescued. , my wife can only wait to die in vain.”

These words sounded bleak, but they were accusing Teng Yuyi of being selfish and ruthless.

Duan Wenyin’s expression was a little uncomfortable, and Mrs. Du subconsciously protected Teng Yuyi behind her.

This child, Yuyi, never acts right or wrong, and is most protective of her shortcomings. Duanfu has been by Yuyi’s side for many years and has always been loyal. Even if the incident comes a hundred times, Yuyi will only do the same thing.

Of course you can’t blame Yuyi for this, but after all, Dong Erniang was at the age of flowers, it would be a pity if she lost her life. Right now, we can only hope that there is another way to become the prince, otherwise—

the attention of everyone is drawn by the wife’s cry, but Teng Yuyi secretly pays attention to the curtain in front of Hu’s bed. The movement is very small, and it may not be found if you are not careful. She knew it in her heart, and calmly retracted her gaze.

Lin Chengyou was also paying attention to the bed curtain, saw the tiny ripples in front of the bed, and there was a bit of irony on his lips, when he was about to get up, Duan Ningyuan discussed with him again: “Sir, there are other ways besides Liuyuan Pill. ?”

Lin Chengyou glanced at the room, and simply sat down again: “No. This monster, the grass-born Muxin, is in time for the Chinese New Year’s Day today, which is the day when it became a devil. Its magic power is comparable to that of ordinary monsters. The evil spirits are getting stronger and stronger. If someone hadn’t cut off the monster’s arm in advance and hurt its vitality, Liuyuandan might not have saved the life of the injured person. Dong Erniang failed to take the medicine, and I can’t help it.”

Duan Ningyuan’s Adam’s apple rolled, one word After a while, he said: “Is there really no cure?”

“There is no cure.”

Jue Sheng and Qizhi couldn’t help but said, “General Duan, our senior brother himself was injured, if there is still six yuan pills, why is he ? Don’t you take it for yourself?” Then

everyone saw that Lin Chengyou’s robe was still stained with blood, and his complexion was much worse than before.

The palace people were so frightened that they didn’t pay attention to Lin Chengyou’s clothes. At this sight, they were immediately frightened and swarmed up, busy serving Jin Zhi: “Prince, I want the old slave to send someone to the Shang Pharmacy to Xuan Yu. Feng Yu?”

Lin Chengyou raised his arm impatiently to avoid it: “Don’t make a fuss.”

The lady in charge was still weeping and weeping: “It’s really a disaster, the lady is ill, and the second mother is serving at the bedside all day. —”

Duan Ningyuan stood stiffly like a wooden sculpture, full of sadness and nowhere to vent, remembering what happened just now, he glared at Teng Yuyi in anger.

Is this his fiancee? She couldn’t see her face with the veil on, but this woman was undoubtedly the most hideous person he had ever seen.

“When I came, there was still talk and laughter on the way, so it was gone.” The steward’s wife cried out of breath, “My Erniang has a heart like a bodhisattva, and she is reluctant to waste flowers and plants on weekdays, what kind of evil is this! Why is it Er Niang…”

Duan Ningyuan’s cheeks were looming, and he was clearly clenching his teeth. He was finally stabbed in the heart by these words, and said coldly, “Miss Teng, since the medicine is in your hands, I don’t ask you to let it go. Selfishness, but there are a total of four pills, how can the Teng family get all the pills and not even give one to others?”

His voice was hoarse, obviously losing his mind because of anger.

Duan Wenyin shouted, “Ning Yuan!”

Madam Du said, “General Duan, when Yu’er distributed the medicine to Mingzhu and the others, she didn’t know that there were only four medicines in the bottle

. You should have known it in a moment? She still gave it to her servants, it can be seen that she only has herself in her eyes, and the lives of others are as light as grass to her. Sister, you see it, such a selfish and domineering woman is a piece of shit. A good match for the family?”

The ladies were dumbfounded. Lin Chengyou raised his head and looked at Duan Ningyuan with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Duan Wenyin was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: “What nonsense are you talking about!”

Teng Yuyi gave a bow and looked at Duan Wenyin calmly: “Madam heard, General Duan wants to retire from the Teng family because I saved the servants of the Teng family. .”

Duan Wenyin gave Teng Yuyi a stern look and softly comforted Teng Yuyi: “Ning Yuan drank a lot of alcohol on the banquet, so he was confused before he spoke nonsense. Yuer, you should take more care, and don’t take these drunken words to heart.”

Teng Yuyi nodded: “General Duan made a blunder after drinking and asked others to take more care of others. Who should we ask to take more care of us when we encounter a monster in the forest?”

Duan Ningyuan choked.

“We finally escaped from the forest, and the monsters chased after the Ziyun Tower. At that time, the Lanxia Pavilion was in chaos, and my cousin and the others were in critical condition. I was afraid that the good opportunity to save people would be delayed. I just found out that there is only one left, General Duan, what would you do instead?”

Duan Ningyuan said angrily, “Since the Teng family has already got three, for the sake of fairness, the last one should be given to others.”

“But Duanfu It’s not just the servants of the Teng family.” Teng Yuyi’s tone was cold, “If it weren’t for Duanfu to resist for a while, we would all have died in the forest. Now he is dying, and I have the medicine but I can’t save it, wouldn’t I be an ungrateful person? Is it?”

Duan Ningyuan gritted her teeth, she was clearly arguing, but because too many people were present, he couldn’t refute it openly.

“In your eyes, Duanfu is just a humble servant, but why is he not our savior? If a person doesn’t even care about his own benefactor, what can he do to rescue a stranger he doesn’t know? I want to ask Duan Xiao General, do you regard me as an enemy, do you blame me for saving your savior, or do you blame me for not being able to save Dong Erniang? If I gave Dong Erniang the medicine but ignored Duanfu, would you still scold me for being unfair?!”

Duan Ningyuan froze, as if someone had slapped him in the face, and his face was burning with embarrassment.

All the ladies came here, looking at the thick curtain in front of Hu’s bed and at the lady in charge, and slowly came back to it.

As early as in the courtyard, the palace servants had said that Dong Erniang could enter the Ziyun Tower and entrusted Mrs. Yong’an Hou to take care of her. General Duan came in a hurry, but asked the servants of the Teng family to oppose Teng Yuyi’s accusations, which was like coming for the Teng family. , it seems to be directed at Dong Erniang.

The more Madam Du thought about it, the colder she became, and she glared at Duan Ningyuan: “Yu’er was frightened several times tonight, so it’s just that General Duan was indifferent, how can you blame Yu’er without understanding the situation at the time? Xiao, you can still be calm and self-sufficient when you are in trouble, and you can save so many people,

and Yu’er takes half of the credit. If it was another child, let alone giving medicine to save people, I would have been scared and fainted several times. Think about it and understand. Not enough medicine, not Yu’er’s fault. We Yu’er can’t bear such words as ‘selfish and domineering’, ‘a good match’ is not a ‘good match’, General Duan is not qualified to say such a bastard!

Duan Ningyuan was ashamed. He had just been in a state of confusion and angered others. Now he has calmed down and knows that he has done too much. In front of everyone, he knows that he is irrefutable, so he simply lifts up his robe and wants to make amends

. At this stage, how could she be willing to give him a chance to speak for himself? She wept fortunately, and said again, “General Duan is a man who stands up to the sky, and there is no reason to take back what he said, since General Duan himself said that he would Break off the marriage, and ask the ladies to be witnesses. Duan Wenyin ‘s

complexion changed greatly. Teng Yuyi’s words made it clear that she was going to fight against the army. She should have expected that the Teng family’s children were very ambitious and would never be wronged and not fight back. She hurriedly said, “Yu’er misunderstood.” , the wife of the Dong family was crying and making a lot of noise, it was hard to avoid making people uncomfortable. When Ning Yuan asked those words, she just wanted to ask this confused woman to figure out the reason for herself. Her original intention was to resolve the misunderstanding, and she never questioned in turn. meaning of the family. Ning Yuan, I said earlier that you were too upright, but it was a good intention, and the drunken words you said would only cause Yu’er to misunderstand. You must have regrets in your heart now, what are you still doing, and quickly apologize to Yu’er and his wife! ”

Teng Yuyi shook his head sadly: “General Duan is drunk or sad, I can’t tell. I will write to Aye tomorrow and ask him to make up his mind.” Ladies and gentlemen, you have a lot of experience and understand things. I would like to ask you to help make a judgment on tonight’s matter. ”

The ladies didn’t want to get involved in the right and wrong between the two families, but when they heard Teng Yu insisted on telling Teng Shao about the matter, it could be seen that this child would not let the Duan family fool him. Heart-wrenching, they can’t pretend to be confused any longer, and they hurriedly said, “Poor, we have encountered so many things when we first arrived in Chang’an. We all understand that Yu’er has been wronged.”

Duan Ningyuan’s face turned blue and turned red for a while . , Duan Wenyin was angry and helpless, Yuyi, this child looked ignorant of the world, but her temper was so decisive, in a few words, she was going to settle the divorce.

What’s the best way to do this now, Ning Yuan is confused in front of so many people, so people can’t hide it if they want to cover it up. It’s really troublesome to the point of breaking off the marriage, and the fault can be entirely on his younger brother. Going out of Ziyun Tower tonight, rumors and rumors will spread all over Chang’an tomorrow.
