Chapter 196 196 Cure (Second update)

Furong suddenly moved and stood up from the ground. Her voice was cold and hollow, and she said sternly: "Princess Princess, why do you say that the county master and I were sisters in Manchun Tower? You are too ruthless!"

"Why are you so crazy..." A woman rushed towards Furong in three steps at a time, trying to gag her.

However, Fu Rong ignored it and hit the wheel of a red-wheeled chariot, like a crazy mad cow, shouting heartbreakingly: "Ruthless people, you are all heartless people, a Everyone wants to kill me!"

As she finished speaking, she hit the sharp corner of the car's wheel with her head, so cruelly and decisively.

The skull hit the rim heavily, making a "dong" sound, which made people shudder.

This scene shocked the surrounding onlookers.

The street was silent for a moment, as if all the sounds had been sucked away. No one expected that she would die just because she wanted to.

Furong's body fell softly along the wheel of the cart, and she was lying next to the red wheel cart.

The bright red blood flowed rapidly from her forehead and flowed on the bluestone floor below, forming a large pool of blood, which was shocking.

In just a snap of a finger, a fresh human life passed away, and even the originally sultry streets seemed to become colder because of this.

After a brief silence, an uproar broke out in the street.

The people who were watching the excitement started talking about it:

"Someone is killed. Go to Jingzhao Mansion and call the Yamen!"

"Go to Jingzhao Mansion! Didn't this woman commit suicide?"

"That's right...but what did she mean when she just said that she had been sisters with the county lord in Manchun Tower?"

"Don't take the crazy woman's words seriously. It's not like the county owner went to a brothel to work as a girl, right?"

"Haha, I see, she must have been abandoned by some prince, and there is something wrong with her brain!"

"I think some kind of royal palace forced people to death! Hey, why should a commoner fight with a powerful person?"

“…”

The passers-by became more lively and enthusiastic as they talked, and some began to inquire about which palace this carriage belonged to.

Shen Wan was also shocked.

She didn't expect Furong to commit suicide at all, so she didn't react for a while.

Gu Zhiyan in her arms stared blankly at the blood on the ground, his eyes widened.

The bright red blood reflected deeply in her eyes, making her eyes red.

There was a "click", as if a key opened a copper lock in her memory.

Scenes of memories that had been deeply buried in the little girl's memory flashed like a revolving lantern: the dirty woodshed, the huge and terrifying rat, the ferocious woman, the whip full of spikes, and the unyielding eyes. eyes…

Everything was like a knife stabbing into Gu Zhiyan's heart, and it was as if there was some restless force in her body that was going to tear her apart.

Gu Zhiyan could only vent his anxiety and suffering by screaming.

"ah-"

she shouted at the top of her lungs.

Shen Wan was startled again, this time more panicked than frightened. She looked at Gu Zhiyan nervously and said, "Qiniang."

"ah-"

Gu Zhiyan's shouts were so sharp, so exciting, so hysterical.

She had forgotten where she was, struggling desperately in Shen Wan's arms, describing herself as crazy, screaming at one moment and shouting repeatedly: "Blood! Blood..."

"Qiniang." Shen Wan was frightened by Gu Zhiyan's appearance and wanted to calm her daughter's emotions, but as soon as her fingertips touched her daughter's shoulder, she pushed her away.

In this state of losing control of emotions, people are extremely strong. Gu Zhiyan pushed Shen Wan away with all his strength, his eyes were confused.

Her breathing was rapid and her eyes were red. She opened the door of the carriage and rushed out of the carriage.

She ran forward as hard as she could, as if something was chasing her behind.

"Qiniang!"

Shen Wan was pushed by Gu Zhiyan, and her body swayed. Aunt Rong and the servants outside the carriage were all focused on Fu Rong, who had just crashed and died, and did not have time to stop Gu Zhiyan.

When Shen Wan hurriedly got off the carriage, Gu Zhiyan had disappeared. Zhu Lunche was surrounded by all kinds of people, all pointing at the corpse, Zhu Lunche and Shen Wan.

"Qiniang... Qiniang..." Shen Wan shouted in panic and anxiety, her face and lips turning pale.

At this moment, she only had her daughter in her heart, and the comments around her could not reach her ears at all.

Shen Wan was completely panicked.

Aunt Rong quickly ordered the servants accompanying her to find Gu Zhiyan and ask the passers-by around.

"Did you see a little girl get out of the carriage?"

"About this high!"

"Wearing a pink dress and combing her hair."

“…”

However, there are too many people here. As long as a child sneaks into the crowd, he will be swallowed up by the crowd. Besides, most of the people's attention was attracted by Fu Rong who committed suicide in public.

Grandma Rong and others searched around for hundreds of feet, but found no one.

Grandma Rong became even more anxious and asked others to continue searching. She ran back to the Zhu Lun Chariot to find Shen Wan, "Princess, did you send someone to borrow someone from the Duke's Mansion?"

This place is only one street away from Duke Mu's Mansion. It can be reached in just one cup of tea by running over. It is obviously much faster than going back to the Prince's Mansion to redeploy manpower.

Shen Wan went crazy because she couldn't find Gu Zhiyan. She was so panicked that she couldn't think rationally. She just wanted to find the person quickly.

Now after being reminded by Aunt Rong, Shen Wan finally came to her senses, nodded hurriedly and said: "Quick, go to the Duke's Mansion to borrow someone."

So, a young man in green clothes ran desperately towards the direction of Duke Mu's mansion.

Shen Wan and others continued to look for people on the street.

"Qiniang!"

"County Lord!"

Shouts of concern echoed through the bustling streets. Some of the onlookers heard that a little girl was frightened and ran away, and they enthusiastically helped to find someone; some others stayed where they were, acting as if it had nothing to do with them, and some even said that her father made the child. The sarcastic saying that evil will be retribution on children.

Shen Wan kept shouting her daughter's nickname over and over again until her voice became hoarse.

The self-blame in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She was frightened by the scene just now, not to mention that Qiniang was still so young. She should be holding her tightly, so how could she let go? !

It was her fault, she actually watched her daughter get lost in her hands again!

Shen Wan felt that her heart hurt as if there were hundreds and thousands of needles pricking her.

Suddenly, a woman's sharp voice came from behind: "Found it, the princess has been found!"

Shen Wan's eyes suddenly opened wide.

She completely cared about her so-called manners, picked up her skirt and ran towards the direction of the sound, running faster and faster...

The woman was standing at the entrance of an alley a few feet away. When Shen Wan arrived, she pointed in the direction of the alley and said excitedly: "Princess, the county lord is inside."

Shen Wan ran too fast, panting, and his chest heaved up and down rapidly.

She saw Gu Zhiyan in a pink dress huddled in the corner of the alley, leaning against the wall with her arms tightly holding her calves, wishing she could shrink into a ball.

Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was still pounding, her forehead was covered with sweat, and there was only one voice left in her head: She found Qiniang! Fortunately, she found Qiniang!

Next to Gu Zhiyan, squatting was a beautiful figure wearing a green lotus-colored skirt.

The girl wore a crescent bun and was carrying her on her back. She was gently wrapping her arms around Gu Zhiyan's right shoulder from behind, gently comforting her.

Although she didn't see the girl's face, Grandma Rong still recognized her from the familiar back and blurted out: "Cousin!"

Shen Wan also recognized Chu Qianhuang, opened her eyes slightly, and walked quickly towards Chu Qianhuang and Gu Zhiyan.

Upon hearing the sound, Chu Qianhuang looked in Shen Wan's direction and met Shen Wan's eyes.

The smile on her lips froze slightly, and she called softly: "Aunt..."

Then, she showed a bitter smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a harsh voice: "Princess."

Gu Zhiyan turned a deaf ear and buried her little face in her knees, not moving or making a sound.

Shen Wan looked at Chu Qianhuang squatting on the ground with complicated eyes, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She hadn't seen Chu Qianhuang for more than a month. The last time they met, they were very close. She never thought that the next time they met would be like this.

She has always been close to her eldest sister, they love each other very much, and she has loved her niece since she was a child. She taught her to write running script, taught her to play hut, and also taught her how to socialize with noble ladies from aristocratic families... She treated Chu Qianhuang and A biological daughter is no different.

Before Qiniang became ill, she was also very close to Chu Qianhuang and regarded her as a biological sister. The two cousins ​​often played together.

Shen Wan stopped.

She never expected that Chu Qianhuang would be the daughter of Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang.

Chu Qianhuang became the concubine she hated most.

Perhaps Chu Qianhuang could not change the matter of subcontracting, but from Shen Wan's point of view, Chu Qianhuang's existence was a kind of harm to the eldest sister.

Shen Wan pursed her lips, and without speaking to Chu Qianhuang, she softly called out again: "Qiniang."

Chu Qianhuang took a deep look at Shen Wan, as if he had already guessed Shen Wan's attitude, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Soon, Chu Qianhuang lowered his eyes.

She didn't explain anything for herself, she just said to Gu Zhiyan gently:

"Qiniang, your mother is here, it's okay, it's okay."

Her voice was as gentle as the warm morning light caressing the dew-covered branches and leaves.

Gu Zhiyan still didn't speak, but hugged her calf tighter with both arms.

"Qiniang..." Shen Wan took a step closer to Gu Zhiyan, her voice trembling slightly.

Her slender figure cast a shadow on Gu Zhiyan, enveloping the little girl.

As a result, Gu Zhiyan's reaction became even greater. He hit his forehead heavily on his knees, again and again, and again...

Shen was frightened and took a step back, not daring to go forward.

Chu Qianhuang quickly hugged Gu Zhiyan's head and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay."

Gu Zhiyan moved his right hand, and brought the sachet in his hand to the tip of his nose, and a familiar fragrance penetrated his nostrils...

After a while, Gu Zhiyan calmed down again, lowering his eyes without looking at Shen Wan, like a frightened deer.

Chu Qianhuang continued to pat Gu Zhiyan's shoulder, his movements gentle and slow, with a soothing rhythm.

She looked up at Shen Wan again, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then lowered her voice and asked: "Aunt...Princess, is Qiniang okay?"

"I heard that before my second sister got married, I took her to play in the Hou Mansion for several days. Qiniang was much better at that time..."

Shen Wan bit her lower lip slightly and was silent again.

Chu Qianhuang smiled awkwardly, thinking that Shen Wan wouldn't speak, but she heard the other party say: "She was better before..."

Shen Wan clenched the handkerchief tightly, the lines on the back of her hand tightened, and veins appeared.

Yes, in the past month, my daughter's symptoms have obviously improved a lot. When she was at the Duke's Mansion today, she was just a little more introverted than her cousins.

She thought that her daughter's absence syndrome would be cured gradually over time, but unexpectedly, today because of the trouble caused by the woman named Furong, her daughter was stimulated and retreated into her turtle shell again.

Shen Wan's heart ached even more.

Chu Qianhuang was still patting Gu Zhiyan's shoulder and frowned, "I remember that Qiniang's illness has been recurring several times. I'm afraid it was just treating the symptoms but not the root cause..."

"To cure Qiniang, we still need to treat the symptoms."

Shen Wan also frowned, feeling that what Chu Qianhuang said was reasonable.

She sighed, "How can it be so easy to cure..."

Even the miracle doctor from Jishi Hall didn't dare to promise that he would be able to completely cure Gu Zhiyan.

Chu Qianhuang stopped and said: "Princess, when I was in the palace, I heard the Queen mention that there are people who are good at treating this kind of absence syndrome..."
