Chapter 425
When Xiao Bei heard this, his eyes turned cold.
Looking at the crying elder sister, she softened her voice, "Even if there are a lot of faults, the one who is in charge of this mansion is my uncle. Everyone in this mansion has been protected by his power, so they have to learn to obey him."
"Brother Bei——"
"Not to mention my aunt's private vault, even if it's half of the Xiao family, if my uncle wants it, my uncle and father will give it to him."
"Why?"
Xiao Yinxiu didn't bother to wipe her tears. She looked over with a tearful face full of astonishment. Xiao Bei whispered, "Eldest sister, don't you know everything? This is what the Xiao family owes to my uncle and my aunt."
"My little aunt...my little aunt has been gone for so many years——"
"That's hers, too."
Xiao Bei did not elaborate on these past events with Xiao Yinxiu. "My uncle was frank and let us take stock of them. What are you afraid of? Also, regarding the assassination of Guan Zhou today, elder sister should also be careful."
What if they come here for the palace?
"It's obviously aimed at her, why don't you tell her to be careful? Brother Bei, tell Zhang to stay away from her. Anyone who gets close to her will be dragged down."
"Eldest sister——"
"Okay, Zhang was also frightened today. Because of the bloody smell, she couldn't eat anything and vomited everything. You should go back and check on her immediately. Don't let her have a miscarriage."
Xiao Bei had no choice but to say goodbye.
On the way back to Biluozhai, I met Pei An who had changed his clothes and walked towards me quickly, "Silang, are you going...?"
"After Guanzhou settles down, I will go and report to my father. Did my cousin and second brother tell me roughly?"
Xiao Bei nodded, "My second brother and I have told you everything we know. Let's go. Uncle will definitely make arrangements."
"it is good."
Pei An passed by, and when they were two or three feet apart, Xiao Bei suddenly called out to Pei An, "Guan Zhou, are you okay?"
……fine.
Xiao Bei nodded, "I'm glad you're okay. I'll come to check on you later with your sister-in-law."
Is Song Guanzhou okay? It's not clear at the moment. She returned to the mansion. After Honeysuckle Lotus and Linshan were treated, she immediately asked the maids to boil water and served them to wash from head to toe.
She even asked Doctor Sun to remove the board that fixed her broken leg and wash it clean.
Several servants were injured in Shaohua Garden, and Zhuanggu sprained her ankle. Only Mrs. Meng brought Lianhua, Qingfang and Qingfei to serve. Xile accompanied his daughter and sat in the outer room, full of worry.
How many times have you washed...
Song Guanzhou couldn't remember.
The smell of blood in her hair seemed to seep into the gaps between her bones, and she always felt unclean. However, after Mrs. Meng had washed the soap nuts twice and rinsed them clean, she asked Mrs. Meng to wash them a third time.
"Young Madam, please listen to me, it will be clean now."
If I rinse it again, I'm afraid I'll have a headache.
"It's okay, beat it again and wash it carefully." Mrs. Meng and Qingfei did not go today, so they had no idea how dangerous it was. Lotus' eyes were filled with tears, which fell again.
"Young Madam, you must promise me that I cannot beat you a fourth time."
Song Guanzhou lay in the wooden tub with his hair tied outside the tub, letting them scoop up warm water and pour it over his hair.
"Rub my back too. The thief's blood and spit all over me."
It was not until night fell that Xu Lingbai and Xiao Bei came to Shaohua Garden and said they wanted to have dinner with Song Guanzhou. Only then did they realize that Song Guanzhou had been washing for more than an hour and had not finished yet.
"That won't do. I'm afraid the skin will be rubbed to pieces."
Zhang Fanghui became even more worried when she heard this. Xu Lingqiao sighed, "How could I not know? I went in and told him twice, but it was no use."
Later, the hot water in the small kitchen was not enough, so Aru started asking for water from the big kitchen.
Several strong women carried the leg back and forth several times, but the fourth young master's wife still said that there was not enough water. It was not until Doctor Sun finished treating Lin Shan's arrow wound and came to Shaohua Garden that he asked Xu Lingqiao to bring a message in, saying that the injured leg was not healed, and soaking in hot water would soften the bones, which would do more harm than good.
When Song Guanzhou heard this, his first reaction was that Doctor Sun was fooling people!
She raised her eyes to look outside. The curtains were tightly drawn and she didn't know whether it was early or late. She asked Xu Lingqiao, and Xu Lingqiao and Mrs. Meng worked together to help her out of the barrel.
"My ancestor, it's already dark, and you've been washing for a full hour."
"it's dark?"
"It's been dark for a while. Get up first. You can wash it tomorrow." Xu Lingqiao deliberately comforted her and sniffed her hair. "Now I can only smell the faint fragrance of rose and jasmine. The dirty smell is long gone."
Only then did Song Guanzhou give up.
After helping her dress up, she wrapped her long hair with a large towel. Her hair was thick and black, so it made a big bunch when wrapped up. She let Mrs. Meng hold the hair in her arms.
She entered the inner room and sat in front of the dressing mirror. Zhang Fanghui then followed her in.
Song Guanzhou quickly turned his head and asked, "Sister-in-law, smell it, do you still feel sick?"
"Oh! My ancestor, it's so fragrant, it's not disgusting anymore!" She walked over, took out a clean handkerchief, grabbed a lock of Song Guanzhou's long hair, and started to wipe it.
"After taking such a long shower, I'm afraid you must be tired and hungry."
Song Guanzhou's eyes sparkled as he shook his head in the mirror, "Of course I'm not tired, it's all the hard work of the maids." When Mrs. Meng and the others heard this, they quickly knelt down and said, "Madam, you are fine now, we can wash you ten times a day."
"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
For some reason, Song Guanzhou muttered to himself and uttered this famous modern saying. She was a little dazed, but also felt that life was really exciting.
Little did he know that these words shocked Xu Lingqiao greatly.
After going through so much hardship and suffering so much injustice, she returned to the mansion. At first, she wanted to see her brother and Guan Zhou, and then end her life. Later, she let it go, became greedy, and thought that it was okay to live alone.
Countless late nights, she looked up at the sky and asked, why did I, Xu Lingqiao, have to go through all this?
How have I ever let anyone down?
Never!
Looking at my cousin now, she was originally a pampered girl, loved by her parents, cared for by her brother, and loved by her husband and wife. It seemed that she had no worries at all.
Now it seems that every single thing is a life-threatening matter.
So, live well.
Since they were going to have dinner together, Lianhua tied Song Guanzhou's half-wet hair into a simple bun, and let the rest of his hair hang loose behind his back and was braided.
It is extremely disrespectful to meet guests with unkempt hair.
Song Guanzhou, with her bare face and natural red lips, tiptoed to the outer room. Sun Lin, who had been waiting there early, followed his father's orders and put the board back on her and clamped it between her legs.
"Lin'er, how long will it take to remove the board?"
Sun Lin lowered her head and bandaged Song Guanzhou's leg carefully. "Young Madam, it looks good. Fortunately, it didn't get hurt again today. I think it will be removed in two or three months."
——Song Guanzhou’s mouth twitched slightly, with a complicated expression on his face.
