Chapter 25 Dilemma
"Why are you stunned? What's wrong with Ning Niang?" Lu Yun's voice was anxious and his face looked ugly.
Aunt Ji withdrew Piaoyuan's thoughts, quickly lowered her eyes, and replied respectfully: "Son-in-law, Niang Ning has been in a state of uneasy these days and is unwilling to eat well. I guess she might be hungry."
The call of "son-in-law" made Lu Yun's heart ache. He naturally couldn't remember Aunt Ji's appearance, but he knew that Aunt Ji was once the dowry maid of his original wife Wang.
Although so many years have passed, the original wife who died of dysfunctional delivery is still an untouchable pain in Lu Yun's heart.
As long as you think of it, it will be like cutting out your heart and bones.
Otherwise, how could he have the chance to bring Ning Niang to his side, but he still left her in Yanling and let the clan raise her?
It was just that I was afraid that this daughter would remind him of Yu Niang's tragic death at all times.
He was afraid that he would not be able to bear the day when he could take revenge.
He was afraid that he would reveal his true feelings in front of others.
Only, sacrifice this daughter.
Now, he finally dared to face his heart and bring this daughter to his side, but in just three days he actually made her faint from hunger?
Lu Yun was furious, and his first thought was that Zhu treated his original wife's daughter badly. Otherwise, how could a good person faint from hunger?
But in a flash, he denied this idea again. After ten years of marriage, he finally understood Zhu's character and knew that she would definitely disdain to do such a bad thing.
He forced himself to calm down and slowed down his tone of Aunt Ji, who had taken care of his daughter for thirteen years and was the first maid of his original wife, and asked: "What happened to Ning Niang recently? Why don't you want to eat well? As her wet nurse, you must know it?"
When Aunt Ji heard this, she did not answer, but knelt down with a "thump" and said in a trembling voice: "I dare not speak nonsense, so please don't make things difficult for me!"
Qin Shuang also knelt down, raised her head and looked at Lu Yun with rain, "Head of the family, the little lady is so sad, but she is afraid that you will be embarrassed, and she dare not say it after being wronged. She is depressed and fainted! He must make decisions for the little lady!"
The mother and daughter knelt straight on the ground, looking more pitiful than the other, as if they had suffered some great grievances.
Zhu's breathing stagnated.
She had such a bad temper and really wanted to come forward and slap them each.
It's so good to act!
But she is no longer the beloved young lady of the Zhu family in Jiangzhou. She has become Mrs. Lu, a fourth-rank Gongren with a decree, and the mother of several children.
She could only bear it.
She took a deep breath and slowly vented it, then said: "What can I say well? What do you do crying? I have asked the big kitchen to cook special food for Ning Niang these two days. Isn't it suitable for her taste? If it is not suitable for her taste, you should tell me immediately, instead of hiding it, and crying until Ning Niang faints."
Aunt Ji bowed her head and said nothing.
Qin Shuang bit her lip, looking resentful, but she didn't say anything.
But even if they don’t say anything, they can see what they are thinking.
This is all blamed on Zhu's head.
Lu Yun lowered his face.
He did not immediately question Zhu, but picked up a chair and sat down, and said coldly: "You all got up, Ning Niang is still unclear. You will talk about everything after the doctor has seen it."
Aunt Ji slowly stood up, still lowering her eyes and silent.
"Slave..." Qin Shuang wanted to continue kneeling on the ground, but when Lu Yun looked at it with cold eyes, she was so scared that she got up.
Zhu saw this scene and sneered in his heart.
This Ji family knows his husband's character very well, and it's true. After all, after serving him for two years, he should understand even if he observes his words and expressions.
I am afraid that she has ever had any thoughts in the past two years, otherwise why was she sent out of the house to get married the next year as a dowry maid?
If this is true, Wang Yuniang would be too soft-hearted and even restored her good family to Ji. According to her temperament, she must hold her body firmly in her hand, so that she can't turn out of her palm in her life.
...
A moment later, Awu led an old doctor with white hair into the house.
After the old doctor took Lu Yuanning's pulse, he kept sighing, making people's heart rise.
"Doctor, how are you doing with the little girl? But what's the big deal?" Lu Yun asked in a trembling voice.
Many years ago, he lost his beloved wife, but now he can no longer lose his daughter.
"Not good, very bad." The old doctor stroked his beard and sighed: "The young lady of the family is a loss of both qi and blood caused by excessive worry. No medicine can take this disease to deal with the symptoms but not the root cause. I have seen this condition as a heart disease. Heart disease still needs to be treated with heart medicine, and I can't do anything."
"She is still so young, where does she get her heart disease?" Lu Yun felt incredible.
"This is not accurate. You can't have a heart disease when you are young? You are too arbitrary. Look at your mansion..." The old doctor said, looking around, and finally falling on Qin Shuang, who was crying, "Look at your mansion, there are people or things that make the little lady feel unhappy. If you understand it carefully, you will naturally be able to solve the little lady's heart disease from the root."
Lu Yun frowned, "Ning Niang has only been in Beijing for a few days, how could she meet someone or something that makes her unhappy? What happened these days?"
There was silence around.
Not to mention Lu Yuanmin, even Aunt Ji and Qin Shuang couldn't believe the reason why Lu Yuanning fainted might be because they had a fight a few days ago.
The old doctor replied, "I don't know this. In short, it's still quite dangerous if the young lady's situation is not solved. I have seen a young man suffering from this disease and finally hang himself with a white silk. It's pitiful, he is only thirteen years old. The only reason is that his parents always make noises and force him to help. Anyone who helps him feels guilty for the other party, and he lives in torture every day, torture himself to death."
Lu Yun's face turned pale because of fright.
The old doctor said meaningfully: "I want to say that the family should have fun together. I always make noises. If you really can't get along, it's better to separate, right?"
Lu Yun couldn't listen to what he said at all. He was just afraid that Ning Niang would really hang herself with a white silk, after all, she was no longer willing to eat now, right?
The old doctor didn't want to participate in the Lu family's family affairs, so he just prescribed a dose of tonic and left.
Zhu was very afraid of the charge of forcing his stepdaughter to death on his back, so he honestly informed Lu Yun about the quarrels between Lu Yuanmin and Qinshuang and Aunt Ji a few days ago.
A Wu stood up at the right time and said, "The head of the family, my wife, actually, the little lady told me about this with my slave before. She said that Aunt Ji and Qinshuang were like her family, but the third lady was also her sister. She didn't know what to do? She was afraid that if she didn't do well, everyone would be unhappy, and she couldn't bear such great pressure."
After hearing this, Lu Yun's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.
