Chapter 231 231 Catharsis (Second update)

"drive!"

The driver waved his whip and drove the carriage forward along the street, soon leaving Prince Chen's Mansion far behind.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Chu Qianhuang poured a glass of warm water for Aunt Jiang and handed it to her.

Aunt Jiang was in no mood to drink water. She put the cup down as soon as she took it and whispered, "I sneaked out."

She has always been pampered in the past twenty years, but she has never had such a hard time, even when her parents died.

Now she is as busy as a spinning top every day in Huanyifang. She has endless clothes to wash from morning to night. She can't sleep for more than a few hours a day. Apart from eating, sleeping and washing, she spends the rest of her time there. Washing and drying clothes, life was extremely difficult.

After working so hard for so many days, she lost a lot of weight and her complexion became sallow. Her fingers, which were once green-white, were now as rough as if they had been ground with sandpaper, and even her knuckles became protruding.

It had only been a little more than a month, and Aunt Jiang was already very haggard, as if she had aged several years all of a sudden. Only she knew her pain.

She swallowed the bitterness in her mouth without complaining. She eagerly grabbed one of Chu Qianhuang's hands with both hands and asked with concern: "Sister Huang, have you seen Brother Yi?"

Her voice was hoarse and her eyes were filled with tears.

The three-division trial was a big deal. After the verdict was handed down, it only took half a day to spread throughout the capital, and also to Huanyifang, where Aunt Jiang was affiliated.

Because it was about the Chu family, Aunt Jiang naturally paid more attention and asked around. However, women in Huanyifang were very inquisitive and talkative. Everyone put the matter together with just a few words. Seven points are true and three points are false.

Chu Lingxiao was sentenced to exile, and Chu Yunyi was seriously injured because of his rescue.

When she heard the news, Aunt Jiang's heart suddenly went into chaos.

She originally hoped that after Chu Lingxiao returned to Beijing from the northwest, he could take her back to the Marquis Mansion from Huanyifang. Unexpectedly, Chu Lingxiao not only failed to make any meritorious service, but also committed a serious crime and even lost his title.

What worried Aunt Jiang even more was Chu Yunyi's injury.

Her son is her life.

She was so worried that she tried to bribe the wife of Huanyifang and sneaked out.

She had just returned to the Hou Mansion and found out from the servants in the Hou Mansion that Chu Yunyi was in Prince Chen's Mansion, so she hurried over again and happened to see Bao Qin waiting outside the Prince's Mansion.

She knew that she would never be able to enter the palace on her own. Knowing that Chu Qianhuang had already entered, she simply hid in the carriage and waited for her.

Under Aunt Jiang's ardent eyes, Chu Qianhuang shook her head and replied truthfully: "I didn't see Brother Yi."

Aunt Jiang's eyes opened slightly, and she determined that it must be Chu Qianchen who refused to let Chu Qianhuang see Chu Yunyi.

She subconsciously held Chu Qianhuang's hand tighter and said worriedly: "Sister Huang, I'm very worried about Brother Yi. Why did your grandmother let Sister Chen pick him up?"

"Since childhood, Sister Chen and Brother Yi have not been close. They have never been able to talk to each other. I don't know what she will do to Brother Yi..."

"Brother Yi has been close to you since he was a child, but now Sister Chen won't let you see him..."

"I heard that Brother Yi was seriously injured. I don't know if Sister Chen asked a doctor for him... Whenever I think of Brother Yi, my heart feels like it's being pinched."

Aunt Jiang's eyes turned red, she took out the handkerchief and wiped her eyes, her face looked tired and at a loss.

Anyone could see that she was really worried about Chu Yunyi's safety and had a motherly heart.

Seeing Aunt Jiang's anxious face and red eyes, Chu Qianhuang felt a little bit unbearable.

Aunt Jiang was definitely wrong. Regardless of whether she did it herself or not, she was Chu Lingxiao's accomplice and an accomplice.

Aunt Jiang felt sorry for Chu Qianchen and also felt sorry for Mrs. Shen.

In this matter, Shen is the victim.

Poor people must be hateful.

After all, the reason why Aunt Jiang committed this mistake was because Shen first stole someone's love and got involved between Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang, which led to what happened next.

Aunt Jiang was just a weak woman who drifted with the crowd. In this era, she had no choice but to retreat as a concubine. No wonder she was so angry and hated the Shen family that she made a big mistake.

Aunt Jiang was wrong, and now she has paid the price for her mistakes.

After all, in the past ten years, besides being cold to Chu Qianchen, she had done nothing to her.

Chu Qianhuang felt a little sad, so she held Aunt Jiang's hand and comforted her softly: "Auntie, I know you are worried about Brother Yi, but at this time, no news is good news."

If Chu Yunyi really cannot be saved, then there is no reason for Chu Qianchen to keep his body. He should send it back to the Hou Mansion for funeral as soon as possible. Therefore, Chu Qianhuang feels that even if Chu Yunyi has not passed the dangerous period, at least It should be much better than yesterday.

The more Chu Qianhuang thought about it, the more she realized that this was the case, and continued to comfort Aunt Jiang: "Second sister means well. The palace must have more miraculous medicines than ours, and it will be more convenient to hire imperial doctors and doctors."

However, for Aunt Jiang, no matter how much Chu Qianhuang said, it was just speculation. This kind of comfort was too thin and insignificant.

Aunt Jiang wanted to see her son with her own eyes, and wanted Chu Yunyi to speak to her in person...even if Chu Qianhuang or Mrs. Tai went to see her son for her.

However, I heard that even Mrs. Chen could not enter the palace of Prince Chen.

Aunt Jiang frowned even more as she thought about what she had learned in Huanyifang.

The carriage turned to the right, and Aunt Jiang's body swayed slightly, making her look even more delicate.

She picked up the tea cup and took two sips of tea. She still frowned and said hesitantly: "Sister Huang, I raised Sister Chen. Even now, she is still complaining about me. She is too worried..."

"It's better to take Brother Yi back to the Hou Mansion. Brother Yi's surname is Chu, and it's not appropriate to keep harassing him in Prince Chen's Mansion."

"This happened to your father. Your grandmother was so upset recently that she couldn't care about anything else, so she was coaxed by Sister Chen. Now that the case has been decided and the dust has settled, it's time to take Brother Yi back home. . If the doctor hired by Prince Chen is good, the most we can do is give him a little more money."

Aunt Jiang gently persuaded Chu Qianhuang to go back and coax the madam and asked her to take Chu Yunyi and the doctor back to the Hou Mansion. Chu Qianhuang's expression changed slightly.

Thinking about what happened in the palace just now, she withdrew her hand, not wanting to do such a thankless thing.

Even if she persuaded her grandmother, Chu Qianchen might not let her go.

"Auntie, Brother Yi is our biological brother. I can see that Sister Chen cares about Brother Yi very much." Chu Qianhuang said seriously.

They both have their own thoughts.

Aunt Jiang bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes suddenly widened, and her gaze was fixed on the five finger prints on Chu Qianhuang's left face, "Sister Huang, your face..."

"Who hit you? Does it hurt?"

She stretched out her finger to touch the left side of Chu Qianhuang's face distressedly, and then pulled it back, as if she was afraid of hurting her.

As she spoke, Aunt Jiang's eyes were filled with tears again, and the tears were spinning in her eyes, threatening to fall.

"You have grown up so big, even your mother has never beaten you before..." She pinched the handkerchief and wiped her tears again, "It's my aunt who didn't take good care of you. It's my aunt who made you suffer."

Chu Qianhuang was already aggrieved and unwilling. When Aunt Jiang said this, the clear slap sound seemed to echo in her ears again, and the feeling of shame and anger also came up.

"I'm fine." She bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes began to turn red, her expression was stubborn, looking weak yet tough.

Aunt Jiang gently held Chu Qianhuang's shoulders and asked, "Is it Sister Chen..."

Chu Qianhuang didn't say yes or no.

The answer to this question is obvious.

Chu Qianhuang clenched the handkerchief in her hand, thinking about the way Chu Yunyi was lying on the stretcher yesterday, and thinking about Chu Qianchen's superiority just now, she felt even more aggrieved, and whispered: "Brother Yi is my biological brother , how could I not care about him...I didn't mean to."

She was silent in her thoughts and emotions, and didn't notice Aunt Jiang frowning slightly.

"Of course I believe you," Aunt Jiang nodded and said with deep eyes, "You have always been kind to Brother Yi."

Chu Qianhuang seemed to have received some kind of affirmation, her eyes were shining brightly, "I'm doing this for Brother Yi's own good!"

"Brother Yi is just a concubine. He can't get up or down in the Hou Mansion. As long as Brother Mu is here, he can't get ahead. This is his chance to get ahead."

"Now the emperor has only taken away his father's title, but the title is still in the Chu family. It was Brother Yi who made the rescue. It is logical that Brother Yi will inherit the title in the future."

Chu Qianhuang seemed to have received some kind of affirmation, her eyes were shining brightly, "I'm doing this for Brother Yi's own good!"

"Brother Yi is just a concubine. He can't get up or down in the Hou Mansion. As long as Brother Mu is here, he can't get ahead."

"Brother Yi is obviously so outstanding, and I have always felt sorry for him. This is an opportunity that I finally found. This opportunity must not be missed. It will never come again. I asked Brother Yi to go to Yuanqing Temple for his own good!"

"This rescue effort is enough to surpass the legitimate concubine. Now the emperor has only taken away his father's title, but the title is still in the Chu family. The credit was made by Brother Yi. It is logical that Brother Yi will inherit the title in the future."

Chu Qianhuang clutched the handkerchief tightly and was still thinking about the whole thing while talking.

She had clearly warned Chu Yunyi to be careful in advance, but she didn't know what happened in the middle to make Chu Yunyi injured so seriously...

"..." Aunt Jiang's eyes suddenly opened wide, and her pupils were like a bottomless ancient well, so dark that it seemed as if it was about to **** people in.

Her fingers on Chu Qianhuang's shoulders subconsciously tried to tighten, but stopped again, and her movements finally became gentle and soothing.

"Sister Huang, I understand."

Aunt Jiang said these six words very slowly, gently and softly, like the spring breeze in March.

When she faced Chu Qianchen in Prince Chen's Mansion, Chu Qianhuang felt extremely aggrieved. Chu Qianchen accused her from the highest point. Only now did she get some relief from Aunt Jiang.

"Auntie, just understand me." Chu Qianhuang rubbed the handkerchief heavily and said what he was hiding in his heart, "Second sister has misunderstood me too deeply."

"If we lose the title, not only will the Chu family no longer be able to stand in the capital, but Brother Yi will also be looked down upon in the Imperial College..."

"Only by keeping the title, our Chu family can make other plans, and Brother Yi can have a bright future."

Chu Qianhuang said whatever he thought of, venting his depression with a hint of unwillingness.

She obviously worked hard, but no one understood her, and she was even ridiculed and scolded by Chu Qianchen.

Aunt Jiang listened quietly and patted Chu Qianhuang's shoulder gently with one hand. As gentle as her hands were, her body was tense, and her eyes were as sinister as an evil ghost crawling back from hell.

After Chu Qianhuang spoke, all his grievances were vented, and he felt much more comfortable. He raised his eyes to Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang smiled softly, but the corners of her eyes were still red, which made me feel pity for her.

Chu Qianhuang bit her lower lip slightly, "Auntie, will you blame me?"

"I don't blame you. If I have to blame, I can only blame myself. I can't help you siblings, so you can only plan your own plans." As she said this, Aunt Jiang's eyes filled with hazy tears again, with a hint of weakness. Being a mother makes you strong.

Chu Qianhuang felt relieved.

Ever since she traveled to this world, she had been living cautiously, fearing that others would find out.

She wanted to change the fate of "Chu Qianhuang", so she planned every step and was careful. This was the first time she felt such tenderness.

Let her feel that she can temporarily put down all her armor in front of the other party.
