Chapter 181 – Legs Are Crippled
Chapter 181 Both legs are crippled
He seemed to be waiting for something, Gu Xiujing hid behind the screen, not daring to breathe.
Jiang Luo pulled away the belt that was strangling her so that she couldn’t breathe, and ran all the way to the alley outside, and then looked back only to see curling green smoke rising from the house, and the flames shot up into the sky in an instant, illuminating the night sky as bright as daytime.
“Gu Xiujing—” Jiang Luo exclaimed, before Gu Xiujing came out, the group of men in black set fire to it.
Gu Xiujing tore off a piece of cloth and soaked it in the tea on the table to cover his mouth and nose to resist the green smoke that kept drifting into the house. The whole room was scalding with fire, and the man in black with a knife outside was a slim figure. The bloodthirsty fierceness was reflected on the window through the firelight.
Gu Xiujing struggled in the room like a trapped animal, but the doors and windows were guarded like iron barrels. The men in black nailed all the windows to death before setting fire to them, so that Gu Xiujing couldn’t break through them no matter what. Bureau.
Gu Xiujing was so choked that he almost lost consciousness. He could already feel the scalding heat on his body, and even his fingertips were burned with blood blisters.
A corner of the wooden beams on the roof was burned off by the fire, and they fell down in **** mixed with the flames, which seemed to be loose. Gu Xiujing was injured just now, and after drinking again, he could barely open his eyes in the lingering smoke, the tingling sensation spread from his hands and feet to his eyes.
He seemed to see Jiang Luo’s figure through the dim firelight in front of his eyes, and before he could shout out to tell her to run away, he only heard the sentence “be careful—” and his whole body was hit by a thick fir beam on half of his leg, crying out in pain He passed out with a single sound.
Jiang Luo was so anxious that she pleaded in her heart: “System, please save him!”
【The host has insufficient energy to save the target person. 】
The system is also powerless. Although it is a grasshopper on the same rope with Jiang Luo, it also knows that if something happens to Gu Xiujing, it will affect his favorability and cause the points to collapse, but Jiang Luo has exhausted all Energy, and even the props on her body have begun to be stripped and recycled. Right now, the system can only temporarily blind the sight of the man in black outside and let Jiang Luo appear here safe and sound. There is nothing else to do.
Jiang Luo gritted her teeth, took off her water-stained robe and rushed into the house. Fortunately, the fire burned the cork clean, and she only needed to guard against the sparks that might fall at any time without any other interference.
Gu Xiujing’s legs were hit hard by the fire stick, and the clothes on the surface of the skin were burned off, and the **** legs were burnt. The Jiang Luo ninja was uncomfortable and dragged him out of the house. Unfortunately, without the “Yingying One Grip” prop, she could still use some brute force on her body, but Gu Xiujing, who was unconscious, was thrown away all the way on the ground, and there were many collisions in the middle, and her hair was burnt Better, exudes a burnt smell.
The system avoided the sight of the man in black who stayed behind, Jiang Luo dragged Gu Xiujing from a dog hole to the alley outside, and saw the house was swallowed by the flames bit by bit and turned into ashes.
Without a residence, Gu Xiujing was seriously injured and unconscious. Jiang Luo had no choice but to go to see Gu’s mother late at night, knocking on the door of the Duke’s Mansion.
“Here – who is it?”
The servant who guarded the door came out yawning, when someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night.
“Excuse me, please tell Aunt Gu that Jiang Luo has something important to tell.”
The person who came saw Jiang Luo’s black and white face, rubbed his eyes and realized that this was the character who made his young master betray the family. With a sound.
Gu’s mother hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since Gu Xiujing left the mansion to set up her own family, let alone she learned that Gu Xiujing bought a house outside and married Jiang Luo, neither angry nor resentful. The idea of wanting to associate with Gu Xiujing again, now that someone reported that Jiang Luo came to the door late at night, he wished to beat him up and drive him out of the house.
She put on a coat and got out of bed, and said to the nurse next to her, “Come with me and see what kind of moths she can come up with.”
“Aunt Gu!”
The gatekeeper refused to let in, so Jiang Luo kept guarding outside the gate and paced back and forth. Now when she saw the door opened again, Gu’s mother came out from inside, and hurried up two steps and called out in a hurry.
Mother Gu yawned under her handkerchief and didn’t give Jiang Luo any look: “Why would anyone dare to make noise outside the gate of our government’s mansion in the middle of the night?”
Jiang Luo paused. Before she came, she had expected that Mrs. Gu would not give her any good looks, but Gu Xiujing’s life and death were uncertain, so Gu’s mother couldn’t really ignore her.
“Please ask Aunt Gu for help. Brother Xiu Jing was injured and his life is uncertain. After all, he is your own flesh and blood. You can’t leave him alone!”
Jiang Luo’s words were sincere, and his face was sweating with anxiety, he didn’t look like a fake.
Mother Gu looked at her calmly, and there was inevitably some fluctuation in her heart. Although she was really angry and kicked people out of the mansion, she didn’t really want to just send a white-haired person to a black-haired person like this. When she arrived at Gu’s house, she didn’t even stay behind.
She frowned, “Where is Xiu Jing? What happened to him?”
Jiang Luo knew that this matter must have something to do with the emperor, but she didn’t dare to point it out directly, what if Gu’s mother was afraid to act.
She told about Gu Xiujing’s hiding place: “I don’t know why there was a fire in the house just now. Brother Xiujing was injured because he drank and failed to avoid the burning Liangzi in time. I also asked my aunt to find some doctors to take a look.” .”
Without needing to tell Mother Gu, the nurse next to her quickly sent someone to lead a carriage to bring him back, and also arranged for someone to invite the doctor in the hospital.
Because of this incident, the Gu family’s house could no longer sleep well, the lights were brightly lit, and no one was busy.
Jiang Luo followed behind and wanted to sneak in, but was stopped by the porter: “Girl, please stay.”
Seeing that Gu’s mother really didn’t intend to let her in, Jiang Luo hurriedly said, “Aunt Gu, wait a minute!”
When the person really stopped, Jiang Luo said again, “Aunt Gu, Brother Xiu Jing and I have already married, and we are husband and wife. I have no reason to leave him here alone.”
Mother Gu was furious, thinking that Jiang Luo would still have the face to say this. She and Xiu Jing had an affair and got married directly, and she had never heard her opinion. How could she say that husband and wife are one body at this moment.
But Jiang Luo then said, “What’s more, I’m pregnant with brother Xiu Jing’s flesh and blood. Does Aunt Gu have the heart to separate their father and son?”
If it’s anything else, it’s fine, and Gu’s mother doesn’t take it seriously. If it is true that Jiang Luo is pregnant with the Gu family’s child, it’s another matter.
Gu’s mansion is sparsely populated, and there is only one male in this generation, Xiu Jing. If Jiang Luo really has Lin’er, everything is still negotiable.
Mother Gu took a look at Jiang Luo’s waist, and saw that it was a little thicker than before. She thought for a while and didn’t speak again, and walked into the yard.
Jiang Luo tentatively glanced at the concierge, and saw that he had no intention of stopping her and followed her. This time, no one tried to stop her.
The Jiang family has not received any information about what happened to the Gu family, but Jiang Changning is lying on the bed at the moment and can’t sleep.
Before going to bed, Qin Liu sent a message, saying that she had given him some clues about what he was investigating.
Since she heard the dying story from the second aunt in the other courtyard that day, she sent someone to go to the hometown of Nanny Yang, who had taken care of Mother Jiang.
Because of the long distance and the passage of so long, Qin Liu’s people spent a lot of time investigating, and only today did they get some news and sent someone to send it over quickly.
The letter said that Nanny Yang’s son was originally a small family in the town, and he had no skills since he was a child. He had to rely on the money earned by Nanny Yang from working for a wealthy family. The bad habit of gambling has wiped out all his savings early on, and he even squandered all of Yang’s medicine money.
But there is such a person who somehow got rich overnight last year, wears sleek clothes and eats big fish and meat every day. There is a lot of extravagance on weekdays.
This matter is not uncommon in their town, but people have almost forgotten it after a long time. The people sent by Qin Liu only remembered some details after asking this question.
Mammy Yang suddenly came to her door and told her that she had changed children many years ago, and that her son happened to become rich overnight. There must be something hidden in this. This is only for buying.
Jiang Changning read it, and burned the letter with torch. She told the people sent by Qin Liu not to act rashly. Naturally, such an important handle has to be left at the end to be effective.
The fire burned for several hours and did not go out until dawn. A good house turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.
Because Gu Xiujing doesn’t show up often on weekdays, the door of this house is always closed, and the marriage is kept low-key by avoiding people. For a while, no one really knew who the owner was.
Wait until Jiang’s mother-in-law, who went out to buy things, passed the house, only to find out that the good new house of the new uncle and the second girl was reduced to ashes overnight.
Naturally, she ran back to Jiang’s mansion with tears streaming down her face.
Jiang’s mother was eating breakfast, and Jiang Changbai sat beside him with a tired face. As soon as he picked up some cold fungus with chopsticks and put them on the plate, he heard the frightened voice of the old woman: “Young master-madam-second girl-second girl-“
She trembled and couldn’t understand.
Jiang’s mother didn’t think about it deeply, she just thought it was the young couple who had an awkward relationship. She cleared her cough, and cast a stern look over her: “How about the second girl? Just speak slowly.”
The old lady didn’t answer Jiang’s mother’s words, but just gave Jiang Caibai a timid look: “Second girl-my uncle-my uncle’s house is all burned down—”
“What did you say?!” Mother Jiang only felt her head buzzing, and she almost couldn’t stand still: “You—you say it again!”
Only then did the woman tell what she saw: “I heard people said that the fire burned most of the night, and everything was burnt.” Seeing that Mother Jiang’s heart was ashamed, she hurriedly said, “Madam, don’t panic. Let my uncle go to Gu’s mansion.”
Go to the Gu Mansion, that means life is safe. Mother Jiang took a long breath. The house can be bought again, as long as the person is fine.
Jiang Changbai never said a word, and only drank the soup in the bowl when he heard that Jiang Luo and Gu Xiujing were alive.
“It’s the emperor.” Jiang Changbai sat upright, and he put down the jade bowl in his hand with a solemn expression: “After all, the emperor will not let them go.”
“It’s such a big deal, Bo’er, follow me to Gu’s house.” Mother Jiang stood up anxiously, and walked back and forth in the room a few times.
Such a thing happened on the wedding day, and I am afraid that the days to come will not be smooth.
“It’s not suitable for me to be a man after all, let the eldest sister accompany you.”
Jiang Changbai said goodbye to Jiang’s mother, and strode out of Jiang’s mansion.
After breakfast, Mother Jiang went to Gu’s house with Jiang Changning.
The boy who was scanning outside had sharp eyes, and he guessed the identities of Mother Jiang and Jiang Changning from the family emblem on the carriage at a glance.
If it was normal, the door of the mansion would be open to welcome people in, but now the girl in Jiang’s mansion has coaxed the son into enmity with his wife, and as a servant, even if he had ten courages, he would not dare to make his own way to lead people in. go out.
Respectfully, he asked Mother Jiang and the others to wait outside for a while, while he rushed in to call for someone.
Gu’s mother is in Gu Xiujing’s room, and the old doctor is stroking his beard to diagnose the unconscious Gu Xiujing. As for Jiang Luo, Mrs. Gu asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures for Gu Xiujing, seeing it as an eyesore.
Gu Xiujing’s complexion was pale, the skin and flesh of his legs were rolled up, and the bones were deformed. Gu’s mother looked at the slightly red eyes, and at this moment, even her anger disappeared.
Just because she feels sorry for her son doesn’t mean she forgives Jiang Luo. So when the boy said that Mother Jiang was visiting, he couldn’t help but sneered: “Go and bring them all here.”
Let them see with their own eyes how much Jiang Luo, the mourner, has harmed Xiu Jing.
Mother Jiang waited for a while, and saw the young servant trotting over, he smiled a little stiffly: “Madam, please.”
Different from the atmosphere of Jiang’s Mansion, Gu’s Mansion’s small bridges, flowing water and winding paths lead to secluded places, and even the mansion is full of book fragrance.
The two followed the servant all the way, turning left and right, and finally stopped in front of a yard.
The servant motioned for Mother Jiang to enter the room, while he bowed and retreated.
Mother Jiang and Jiang Changning looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Mother Gu’s gourd, they still walked around the house step by step.
Unexpectedly, before entering, I heard Gu’s mother’s urgent voice: “Doctor, what’s the matter?”
The old doctor sighed, with regret in his tone: “Gu Shizi’s leg not only hurt the flesh, but also hurt the muscles and bones in the future—I’m afraid it won’t be good for walking.”
“What is bad behavior?” Gu’s mother’s voice was shrill and angry: “Doctor, you have good medical skills and you must have a way to save my son. As long as you can cure his leg, how much money is not a problem.”
“Mrs. Gu, let me tell you this, how can I do such a heartless thing for money because of the benevolence of the doctor? If it can’t be cured, it really can’t be cured.” The old doctor shook his head: “It’s better for the old man to say that the world is bad. Said, with such a serious injury, it is possible that Shizi will not be able to stand up for the rest of his life.”
Gu’s mother only felt that the sockets of her eyes were turning black. If Gu Xiujing stretched her legs, what would happen to this huge Prince’s Mansion.
But I have never heard that the position of the son of the world will be given to a lame man with crippled legs.
Jiang Luo’s increasingly plump waist suddenly flashed in front of the eyes of the mother of six gods…
Fortunately, there is still a child… This gave her a glimmer of hope.
It wasn’t until the old doctor left with the medicine box that Mother Jiang took Jiang Changning in.
