Ghost Wife (13)
"Thank you, Miss Yunying." Meng Zixuan smiled and nodded, and sat down at the table. He knew it was a bowl of good porridge just by smelling it. The fragrance hit his face, and it was steaming. You must know that good porridge is not easy to come by. To make good porridge, you need to simmer it slowly over a low fire. Looking at the appearance of this bowl of porridge, I am afraid it won't be ready for an hour. This made Meng Zixuan a little worried, so he looked up at Dong Yunying. "Miss Yunying cooked it by herself?"
"Yes." Dong Yunying nodded and replied with a smile: "I learned it at home before. My mother said that no matter how delicate her daughter's family is, she should be able to cook a bowl of good porridge. That's right..." Dong Yunying did not say any more, because the next sentence "This is how you can tie a man's heart." My mother has said since she was a child that men will inevitably drink alcohol when socializing outside. Alcohol is the most harmful to the body, so sobering up and drinking good porridge is better than anything else. It is because of this that Dong Yunying learned While cooking porridge, Dong Yunying blushed and lowered her head when thinking of this.
After listening to Dong Yunying's words, Meng Zixuan felt that this bowl of porridge was extremely sweet. After drinking it, Meng Zixuan looked at Dong Yunying worriedly. "Yunying, this bowl of porridge took you a lot of time. You must have been up all night, right?"
"I…."
"It's okay if you haven't slept all night. It's still early now, so hurry up and take a rest."
"But I have to take care of Sister Jinling."
"You go to sleep, Miss Jinling leaves it to me." Meng Zixuan really didn't want Dong Yunying to work too hard, so he wanted to coax Dong Yunying to rest. As for Dong Jinling, Meng Zixuan was confident that he could handle it for the time being.
Dong Yunying heard what Meng Zixuan said and nodded with a smile. As for Meng Zixuan, he didn't dare to sleep anymore. He let Dong Yunying go to sleep. There was no one to take care of Dong Jinling. Since he agreed to Dong Yunying, he didn't want Dong Yunying to go to bed. Disappointed, after washing his face, he went to Dong Jinling's place again. When he got there, before Dong Jinling woke up, Meng Zixuan sat at the table and took a nap.
When Dong Jinling woke up and saw Meng Zixuan still in the room, she smiled knowingly. At this time, Ping'er came to the bedside with porridge and whispered: "Miss, have some porridge."
"...Shh..." Dong Jinling didn't want to wake up Meng Zixuan. Seeing Meng Zixuan sleeping, Dong Jinling asked in a low voice: "He has been here all night?"
"No." Ping'er shook her head. Seeing Dong Jinling frowning, she hurriedly added: "Mr. Meng took care of the young lady until the morning. He didn't leave until he saw the young lady fell asleep. However, he came back less than half an hour after leaving and said It’s because I’m worried, Miss.”
At this time, Dong Jinling was much better. After all, there was only a little bit of arsenic. She was not stupid. The arsenic was so poisonous. How could she still eat it all? So there was no serious problem with her body, but she was slightly affected. In addition, after drinking the doctor's medicine, she was full of medicinal energy and looked very weak. Dong Jinling smiled and said softly to Ping'er: "You are also tired after a long night, go to sleep."
"But, Miss..." Ping'er didn't dare to leave. Without Miss's instructions, she never left even half a step except for going to the latrine last night. Ping'er knew Dong Jinling and was definitely not a considerate master, so she hesitated and refused to go.
Seeing that Ping'er wouldn't leave, Dong Jinling opened her eyes wide and shouted: "I let you go, do you hear me?!"
"Ping'er knows." Ping'er was startled by Dong Jinling. When she turned around and saw Meng Zixuan, Ping'er realized that the young lady asked her to leave because she wanted to be alone with Meng Zixuan. Ping'er turned around and scolded herself again and again in her heart. Once, I blamed myself for being too stupid and not seeing the lady's thoughts, so I got scolded.
Shortly after Ping'er left, Dong Jinling got up and walked towards the table without putting on his shoes, pretending to get some water. However, his body tilted and he fell to the ground with a bang. Meng Zixuan was startled by the sound and woke up. , saw Dong Jinling on the ground, and nervously came over to help him up.
"Miss Jinling, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Dong Jinling was supported by Meng Zixuan, stood up, and suddenly pretended to twist his ankle and fell into Meng Zixuan's arms. "Ouch…."
"Miss Jinling, what's wrong with you?"
"My feet..." Dong Jinling frowned and looked pitiful. Seeing that there was no one else and no other way, Meng Zixuan had no choice but to pick Dong Jinling up.
"Miss Jinling, I'm sorry. You are weak now. I'd better send you back to bed to rest."
"I want to drink water..." Dong Jinling hooked her hands around Meng Zixuan's neck and said softly. Meng Zixuan put her on the bed. Meng Zixuan covered Dong Jinling with the quilt, turned around and walked to the table, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water. He replied: "If Miss Jinling wants to drink water, just tell me. You don't have to get up by yourself to avoid hurting yourself."
Dong Jinling drank the water Meng Zixuan poured with a smile on his face and felt very sweet in his heart. If a man is so kind to him and continues to be good, then it doesn't matter even if the man has no money or power. Dong Jinling has seen too much. Thinking about the rich and powerful young master, no one could be as considerate as Meng Zixuan. At first, he just wanted to ask for the house from Meng Zixuan, but now Dong Jinling is eager to give himself to Meng Zixuan. Under the care of Meng Zixuan, Dong Jinling's health was fine two days later. On this day, Mr. Dong just returned from abroad. Hearing that his daughter was poisoned, he was very angry and wanted to investigate all the servants in the family to find out who was the servant. All the servants in the Dong family were frightened by the poisonous murderer, but the one who was most afraid was Dong Jinling himself. Seeing that his father was furious, Dong Jinling advised: "Dad, my daughter is fine now, let's just forget about this matter." .”
"How is this possible!" Mr. Dong flicked his sleeves and pointed at the servant in front of him. "If people know that there are criminals who can poison people in my Dong's house, who can feel at ease? My father must get to the bottom of this matter."
"father…."
"Sister Jinling, you are in good health. Don't be angry. Sit down first." Dong Yunying helped Dong Jinling to the chair and comforted: "Uncle is right. If there is really someone
Sister Jinling should be cautious about poisoning, how could she just let it go? "Dong Yunying was worried about Dong Jinling in her heart, because she heard from the doctor that the poison in Dong Jinling was arsenic, which was almost fatal, which frightened Dong Yunying a little.
Dong Jinling was in trouble and couldn't tell. Seeing the panic on her maid Ping'er's face, she knew that once she found Ping'er, there was nothing she could do even if Ping'er didn't recognize her. Ping'er was her maid, and Dong Jinling knew Ping'er very well. Under the threat of death, Ping'er will reveal that he is the instigator. Besides, after all, Ping'er has followed him for so many years. Even if he wants to sacrifice Ping'er to fulfill himself, Dong Jinling can't do it. Thinking that Mr. Dong will reveal his secret if he continues to investigate, Dong Jinling had no other option but to pretend to be stunned.
"Dad..." After Dong Jinling shouted, he fainted in front of everyone. Dong Yunying and Ping'er quickly helped Dong Jinling up. Master Dong was very nervous and had someone send Dong Jinling back to his room. Master Dong looked at Looking at her daughter with her eyes tightly closed, she felt very nervous. After asking Ping'er to invite the doctor, she and Dong Yunying stayed in front of Dong Jinling's bed. Dong Jinling knew that Dong Yunying was still there, so she pretended to be weak and opened her eyes and looked at Mr. Dong. With Dong Yunying.
"Dad...sister Yunying, I'm fine."
"You're like this, why do you say you're fine?" Mr. Dong looked at Dong Jinling distressedly. When he heard that his daughter had been poisoned, he was almost frightened to death.
Dong Yunying held Dong Jinling's hand and said with concern: "Sister Jinling, have a good rest. Ping'er has already gone to invite the doctor. The doctor will be here soon."
"I'm fine..." Dong Jinling smiled faintly and looked at Dong Yunying. "I just fainted from hunger. I don't know why I suddenly wanted to drink the porridge cooked by sister Yunying."
"If Sister Jinling wants to drink, Yunying can go now." Dong Yunying laughed so hard that tears almost came out. She was crying with joy. It was a great joy that Dong Jinling was fine. When Dong Yunying heard that Dong Jinling wanted to drink porridge, she turned around and went to the kitchen.
Mr. Dong looked at his daughter with concern on his face: "Jinling, how are you doing?" He was very worried about his daughter. He didn't believe that Dong Jinling was just hungry.
Seeing Dong Yunying leaving, Dong Jinling opened the quilt and sat up. She smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, my daughter is really fine." After saying that, she stood up and jumped a few times. "Look, are you okay?"
"Then..." Mr. Dong was shocked and speechless.
Dong Jinling could hide it from others, but she couldn't hide it from her own father, so she told Mr. Dong how she pretended to be poisoned. When Mr. Dong heard this, he said angrily: "Nonsense! How can you joke about being poisoned!"
"Dad..." Dong Jinling knew that her father loved her the most, so she said coquettishly: "Don't investigate this matter anymore."
"Check! What to check?! Can I tell others that my daughter bought poison to poison herself?" Mr. Dong was so angry that his beard almost flew up, and he couldn't help but grow louder.
Dong Jinling bit her lip and replied softly: "My daughter has no choice but to do it."
"Forced? Who forced you?" Master Dong became even more furious when he heard what Dong Jinling said, and said angrily: "You are a noble lady, how can you be so ignorant!"
"Dad...my daughter is because..." Dong Jinling knew that paper could not contain the anger, so she told Mr. Dong that she fell in love with Meng Zixuan and that Meng Zixuan and Dong Yunying were close. Upon hearing this, Mr. Dong frowned: "Is this really happening?" In his heart, Dong Yunying was as important as Dong Jinling, but after all, Dong Jinling was his biological daughter, so he had to plan more for Dong Jinling. Thinking of Meng Zixuan's situation, Mr. Dong felt worried.
"Jin Ling, who did you choose? You just like Meng Zixuan who has nothing... Why are you bothering? You have to fight with your sister..."
"Dad, I just like him..." Dong Jinling had known that his father would say this, so he stamped his feet and said angrily: "If you don't agree, I will eat more arsenic and poison myself to death." This is an angry statement, Mr. Dong But he was really angry, because Dong Jinling had already done such a ridiculous thing once, and there was no guarantee that there would not be a second time. However, Meng Zixuan's character made Master Dong very worried, so he sighed: "If you really like it, I can still stop you, but feelings are about mutual affection, and at the same time, it also depends on character. Dad doesn’t know what Mr. Meng is like, so how can he trust you to leave you to him? "
"So, dad agreed?" Dong Jinling laughed through tears and pulled Mr. Dong to act coquettishly. Mr. Dong really had nothing to do with his precious daughter.
