Chapter 235: Scholarly family (second update)

Mrs. Cui's face turned pale with fright, and her body shook violently.

Mrs. Cui said with a trembling voice: "Then, will she be okay?"

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom, she will be fine."

“Although her condition is a bit serious, she will get better as long as she takes good care of herself.”

“But the recovery time may be a bit long.”

“I haven’t checked her physical condition yet, she may still have some external injuries.”

Jiang Zhiluo sighed in her heart.

Had she not had the wood power and spiritual spring, medical skills alone would not have been able to cure her.

  I don’t know what she went through.

“Mom, I want to know who wants to harm her.”

 She was worried that someone would find this place and it would be detrimental to Cui Qingci.

Mrs. Cui shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Maybe I won't know until Qingci wakes up."

“This child used to have a strong temper, but she must have suffered a lot to suddenly become like this.”

“She clearly married Pei Nanchen two years ago, and the Pei family clearly said they would treat her well.”

Mrs. Cui actually understands in her heart that a woman’s natal family is also very important. Being powerful and having no power are completely different statuses.

She didn't need to think about it to know that it was the Cui family's exile that affected Qin Ci.

 “Pei family?”

Mrs. Cui nodded and explained: "Well, the Pei family is in Nanzhou, south of Zhongzhou. The Pei family is a famous scholarly family. The family once had a great master, a chief assistant, and a great scholar. It was also a famous family."

“It’s just that the Pei family is not as poor as before, but even so, the Pei family has a large collection of books, the Pei family has a good reputation, the children of the family value reading, and Pei Nanchen is also very knowledgeable..."

“When he went to Beijing to take the exam, he happened to be seen by Qingci.”

Jiang Zhiluo was a little confused and said, "Mom, what happened next."

“According to this situation, a daughter-in-law of a Duke and a down-and-out scholar are not from the right family.”

“And it’s still a distant marriage, do you agree?”

 According to normal logic, the Government would not agree.

The daughter you hold in your hand must find a good marriage for her in the capital, instead of letting her marry far away.

Once you get married far away, sometimes it’s beyond the reach of your natal family to help.

This is the case in this era. This era is all about being well-matched.

Mrs. Cui wiped her tears and sighed: "There is nothing we can do if we disagree. We all love Qingci and can't bear to make her sad. She went on a hunger strike and refused to eat. She became very haggard in a short period of time, so we discussed it. With the Duke's office here, even if the Pei family is not as good as before, as long as they help secretly, their daughter's life will be good. "

“In addition, her father has asked people to find out about Pei Nanchen. He is indeed a talented person and has good knowledge. As long as he is willing to work hard and get a good name, we can also help arrange a position for him in Beijing.”

 “So I agreed.”

Jiang Zhiluo asked: "Mom, does the Pei family agree?"

“The Pei family naturally agreed. Even the old lady of the Pei family personally came to the capital from Nanzhou to the Cui family, saying that she would treat Qing Ci well.

 “Then have you asked Pei Nanchen?”

Mrs. Cui was stunned. In this era, parents' orders and matchmaker's words are important.

It seemed that they all instinctively thought that Pei Nanchen agreed.

Think about it carefully, Pei Nanchen is also very good to Qingci, and there is nothing to criticize.

Jiang Zhiluo had some guesses in her mind.

But generally speaking, this is the case because Cui Qingci no longer has the protection of her natal family.

If Cui Guogong's mansion was still in good condition, no one would dare to let her become like this.

The Pei family should protect her even more.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, don't think too much. No matter what, the second sister is fine now." "We'll see what she says when she wakes up. If she wants to stay at home, then stay at home."

“Now that the conditions at home are good, I can definitely take care of myself. There are many rooms in the house and I have a place to live.”

Mrs. Cui was so moved that she didn’t know what to say.

 Very few sisters-in-law are willing to accept their sister-in-law to live at home.

 She didn’t even know how to talk about it, but Zhiluo had already said it.

After Jiang Zhiluo boiled the medicine, she went into the house and asked Cui Qingci to drink it.

Mrs. Cui said: "Zhiluo, you haven't rested since you got home. It's better for me to do it."

After giving Cui Qingci medicine, Jiang Zhiluo checked her pulse, but she was fine for the time being.

 The family will have dinner together.

 If you sleep at night, Mrs. Cui and Cui Qingci will be in the same room, making it easier to take care of Cui Qingci.

After washing up in the evening and going back to the house, Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin sitting at the table, looking lost in thought, and said, "Are you thinking about your second sister?"

Cui Hejin nodded.

"what are you worried about?"

Cui Hejin said: "Some people don't want the second sister to live."

Jiang Zhiluo wiped her wet hair, then sat down at the table and said, "According to you, someone put the fatal poison on your second sister's body?"

"But to be honest with you, there is a chronic poison in her body that has been instilled for two years. Normally, something happened to your Cui family only a year ago, so it shouldn't have affected this two years ago."

“The fatal poison in her body was administered more than a month ago. Are you sure she didn’t drink it herself?”

Cui Hejin said: "My second sister is not of that temperament. She has a strong temper but will never commit suicide casually."

"She is a woman. There are not so many restrictions on girls in my Cui family, and the family's requirements for them are not so strict. She can wield swords and guns, which she learned from her grandfather. Her grandfather taught her many things, so she has a strong temper. I will never seek death easily.”

 Cui Hejin still has a certain understanding of his sister.

“Besides, I have asked people to inquire about Pei Nanchen before, and he will not drug Qingci.”

Cui Hejin believed in his judgment on Pei Nanchen.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Then someone gave her chronic poison two years ago. I just heard from my mother that she married into the Pei family two years ago. It shows that someone does not want her to live. The Pei family is not as simple as it seems."

“Does a scholarly family with strict rules also have secrets that outsiders don’t know about, such as house fights? Women’s battlefield is more complicated.”

Cui Hejin was thoughtful.

“If it was just the Pei family that did this, it would be okay. At least Qingci would be safe here.”

Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed, and she suddenly understood, "You are worried that the person above sent someone to do something, or gave a secret order, such as asking the Pei family to kill Qingci."

"A long time ago, the current emperor was actually trying to think of a way to deal with your Cui family, but he never found the handle to do it."

"Killing too many ministers will not help consolidate his position."

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Your second sister will wake up in the next two or three days. If she says it herself, it will be better than our guess."

The two of them had a conversation and it was getting late. Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin went to bed.

 In the middle of the night, Jiang Zhiluo actually dreamed of coming to a house.

The architectural style of this house is like that of Jiangnan.

　　Nor is it Weifu.

Jiang Zhiluo turned around and found that this was the Pei Mansion.

Pei Mansion, is this where Cui Qingci has lived in the past two years?

Jiang Zhiluo walked forward curiously, and suddenly she was taken into a house by a force.

 A thin and beautiful woman was sitting in front of the window copying scriptures. She wrote a lot on the table, and her wrists were sore from writing.

 But there was not a single maid serving in the house.

 Even the tea is cold.
