[080] Suicide by headbutting the guardrail
Zhen Muchao, who was leisurely watching the show, now calmed down her emotions and had a more correct attitude. In fact, she was not the kind of person who was indifferent to human life. However, her sense of Xia Bihe was not good.
It was not her fault that she was bullied, but being a coward who could only bear it and never resist made Zhen Muchao look down on her. She risked her life to make a scene. With her grandfather here, how could she continue to live like this.
However, she had a similar idea to Wen Renying and didn't want to make a bad impression on Sister Xuan, whom she had just met.
Xia Bihe is big and Xiaocao is very strong, so it is quite easy to lift her up.
The weather this year has been a bit fickle. The temperature has risen a bit, and then dropped back every two days. Xia Bihe, who was mostly wet, said, "Seventh sister, go find someone. Miss Xia needs to change clothes as soon as possible. It's best to take a bath if possible."
A hot bath." Obviously, Xiaocao didn't have any hope for these people here.
"Oh, oh, I'll go right away." Wen Renying touched Xia Bihe's skin and felt a little panicked, worried that someone might die. More importantly, Xia Bihe's condition looked wrong, her eyes were dull.
He was lifeless and motionless from beginning to end. If it weren't for his breathing and the ups and downs of his body, I would have thought...
Zhen Muyao came over, heard the words, and turned around, "Where are the rest of the Xia family, are they all dead?" These words were not polite at all. Anyone else would have offended the Xia family, and Zhen Muyao couldn't follow him even if he was offended.
how is she.
The younger generation of the Xia family who came to the Pingjin Marquis Mansion was definitely not just Xia Bihe. In fact, there were not only sisters born by her stepmother, but also cousins and even sisters born by concubines. In addition to the sisters born by her stepmother, other people's
In fact, the purpose is almost the same. They all reach an age and need to see each other. Banquets like the 50th birthday of the Marquis of Pingjin are not common. Not only the Xia family, but also other families who have young men and girls of the right age, almost all have similar ideas.
It’s not necessarily that I’m here for the “blind date”. The so-called idle time is idle anyway. If you get to know more about it, maybe it will work out.
If this were not the case, who would bring a concubine to a place like the Marquis Mansion?
However, this kind of thing is actually the most painful for Xia Bihe. In fact, she is already overage and will be seventeen in half a year. Marriage has always been a big problem, or in other words, it was created for her by her stepmother.
The problem, she sometimes even thought, as long as she could leave that home, even if she was from any religion, but her origin did not allow it, and her grandfather did not allow it, then she would find a man with a similar family background who was actually a mess inside, even if
This is true, and it is still not allowed. The stepmother made various excuses and tried every means to stop it, and then blamed it all on her. She was the one who was picky in every possible way, and it was she who deliberately sabotaged the marriage, making everyone dislike her and hate her.
She, let alone begging to marry her, gets a headache when mentioning her and hides far away.
Her stepmother still brought her out again and again, and she was laughed at, ridiculed, and bullied in various ways. Her stepmother also acted like a loving mother who was worried about her marriage.
She couldn't say no, couldn't refuse, because the sisters behind her were all engaged, and she stood in the front, delaying them. If she refused, they would eat her alive.
Don't they even know about her departure? No, they are just indifferent and never care. What's more, because of what the stepmother did and the grandmother's acquiescence, what did she do wrong? Why should she be treated like this?
What do you mean it's all the debt owed by her mother?
She was in pain and despair, she couldn't hold on anymore, she couldn't live anymore!
The Xia family didn't want to talk to them, but that was impossible. If they didn't care about their own family's life and death, then they didn't want to lose their reputation, so there were two or three girls who reluctantly came out and dilly-dallyed.
He pushed one of the maids out and said, "I don't see that your master is not good, why don't you hurry over."
The maid's movements were relatively fast, but she came closer. There was obvious disgust in her eyes, "Girl, what are you causing trouble? Are you causing trouble again? Don't say that it's Miss Ming who bullies you. Why should the good Miss Ming do this?
Bullying you?" There was helplessness in his tone towards his trouble-making master.
"What did you say? Say it again?" Xiaocao's tone was calm, but her eyes were really cannibalistic.
The maid was about to repeat, but when she caught Xiaocao's eyes, she was so frightened that she took a step back.
It wasn't over yet. The next moment, a slap fell on the face. Zhen Muchao's eyes were sharp and he said, "Don't say that your master didn't do anything. Even if he did, you, a maid, must stand by her unconditionally."
, who gave you the courage to say such things?" This kind of servile and deceiving dog would be beaten to death in her hands without any mercy.
"What Miss Zhen Liu said, we in the Ming family cannot raise servants who think they will pamper their master and not guide him in a good direction." A girl from the Xia family said with a frown. "Hit our Xia family members at will.
What are people?"
Zhen Mu sneered coldly, "Are you preaching to me?"
The girl from the Xia family hesitated, "I don't dare."
"Shut up if you don't dare. No one will talk to you. But a maid who doesn't know her duties will be beaten as soon as she is beaten. How do you treat her?"
The Xia girl's face turned red and she dared not speak out in anger.
Facing Zhen Muyao who was full of anger, the Ninth Prince remained silent at the moment. If Zhen Muyao was offended, she could go directly to Emperor Xuanren, and Emperor Xuanren quite liked Zhen Muyao.
Yao, even if he is his biological son, Emperor Xuanren usually sides with Zhen Muyao. According to him, as a prince, he should be magnanimous, and what's going on when a grown man is arguing with a girl? Mu Yao
You are not an unreasonable girl, you must have really done something.
Zhen Muchao looks "arrogant and domineering", but she actually knows how to exercise discretion and never goes too far. She is usually not the one who takes the initiative to cause trouble, so even if she is unreasonable, it will not be her fault. If she is reasonable, she will be more justified.
.
Xiaocao didn't have time to listen to people's nonsense and wanted to help Xia Bihe up. This time, Xia Bihe cooperated and stood up. Looking at Xiaocao, there was finally some emotion in his dead eyes, "Thank you."
The so-called warmth and coldness of human relationships, she has forgotten what "warmth" feels like. After all, it was only when she was very young that her mother could still feel it. She really can't remember it now, so a little bit of warmth comes to her.
Words are precious.
However, this is far from enough, but it is good to have this little bit, at least...
Xiaocao knew that something was not right with her right now, and her expression was gentle. Just as he was about to comfort her and persuade her to change clothes earlier, Xia Bihe gently brushed Xiaocao's hand away and smiled, "I'm fine."
Then, Xia Bihe suddenly rushed towards the guardrail of the bridge and bumped into it!
Xiaocao's eyes contracted violently, "Don't--" He tried to catch her as fast as possible, but he was completely unexpected and caught off guard, so his reaction was still a little slow. His fingertips touched the fabric of the clothes, just like that.
Passed by but couldn't catch it.
boom--
It wasn't a loud sound, and one that was a little farther away could not be heard in essence. However, the consequences were like a landslide and a cracking of the earth. It shocked almost everyone's minds and went blank. The screams were slowed down by two beats.
There were so many people surrounding Ming Zeyue, and Xia Bihe was separated from the bridge guardrail by a tight barrier. At some point, even the maid closest to Ming Zeyue was at least three steps away.
Xiaocao's eyes were about to burst, and he pulled Xia Bihe to prevent her from falling to the ground. However, the pain in his heart still sharply increased to twelve points. His body staggered, and he fell to the ground with Xia Bihe. What was it like being pressed down by a big man?
Feeling helpless, he hurriedly pressed the handkerchief to Xia Bihe's bleeding forehead.
The guardrail was carved out of hard stone, and the top looked like an auspicious animal. Xia Bihe was determined to die, but when he hit it, there was no doubt that a large hole was made in his forehead.
The blood couldn't be suppressed at all, and the veil soon became wet and flowed down her face, looking extremely horrifying. The person had already fainted, and Xiaocao could not make a more accurate judgment from her reaction.
Normally, even if the forehead suffers a huge impact, there is no life-threatening situation, but the possibility of intracranial hemorrhage or bone fractures cannot be ruled out at any time, which is very dangerous.
"What are you still doing? Please help me quickly!"
The frightened man finally came to his senses, and even the Ninth Prince hurriedly stepped forward to help. However, before touching Xia Bihe's body, his subordinates paused and finally retracted their hands.
Zhen Muchao pushed him away, and the Ninth Prince also took two steps back.
Just now because Zhen Muyao spoke, Wen Renying did not leave immediately. Now she didn't know what to do, so she only offered her hand to help others. Xia Bihe was already heavy, and she was unconscious. She didn't use any strength, so she wanted to help her up.
It will only be more laborious.
I finally stood up, but it was not easy to walk with support.
"I'm going to carry her on my back, and you keep her wounds tight and don't let go."
"Fourth sister, is this okay?" Wen Renying looked at her fourth sister's slender body, which was comparable to Xia Bihe. She was worried that her fourth sister would be crushed.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xiaocao didn't have any warmth at this moment.
Wen Renying thought too much. A pampered woman in a deep boudoir had no power to restrain a chicken. Xiaocao was different. Carrying two hundred kilograms in a short period of time was not a problem. However, Xia Bihe's legs were thick and it was not easy to wrap her around.
"Hold her steady, don't shake her head, especially her head." Don't let her be fine if she shakes her head, and then she'll be in trouble.
The group of people hurried to the nearest yard.
Others no longer stayed, no matter what their motives were, they all left one after another.
Ming Zeyue, who was alone and without a master, stayed where he was. He seemed to be frightened, and two words came back and forth in his heart: It's over. He pushed the person into the water and was caught by others. It's already
It was a big mistake that cannot be shied away from. Now that Xia Bihe committed suicide by hitting a pillar, even if she wasn't the one who grabbed her and hit her, she will be considered as the one who forced her to do it.
The Ninth Prince originally intended to break off the engagement, but now it seems more justified. It was fine before, but now that the matter has become so big, the Emperor is likely to intervene. With a reputation of pushing people to death, she is naturally not qualified to be a royal wife.
As for the girl whose engagement was annulled by the royal family, and whose reputation has been ruined, can she still find a good marriage? Should she stay with the Buddha for the rest of her life, or should she leave the imperial city and be married to an unknown place?
The more Ming Zeyue thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the panic in her heart spread boundlessly.
He inadvertently raised his head and met Li Ruoshui's gaze. Resentment swarmed in, and he subconsciously wanted to shirk responsibility, so he threw himself at Li Ruoshui desperately, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, bitch, it's all my fault."
It’s all your fault. You hurt me like this. I want you to die badly——”
In the eyes of others, the frightened Li Ruoshui was just about to turn around and leave with the help of the maid, but Ming Zeyue rushed up to him like a crazy woman. There were only a few male guests who came over, and almost all of them
It was Li Ruoshui's flower protector, and everyone subconsciously protected Li Ruoshui, so that Ming Zeyue was directly knocked to the ground. "Madman——"
After such a commotion, Li Ruoshui seemed to be more frightened, and her face turned pale. Facing the man who was protecting her, she felt as if she was facing a savage beast. "I know you all only value my poems a little bit."
, but please don’t get close to me, so as not to cause misunderstanding. If I meet a woman like Miss Ming again, how will I deal with it? Is it best for me not to hold a pen or write poetry again in the future, so as not to cause trouble?
?”
The tears finally fell down uncontrollably, and there was endless pain in her beautiful eyes, which prevented her from using her talents, using her pen and ink arbitrarily, and writing down her strong feelings, which would have killed her.
"Ruoshui, it's not your fault..."
"Don't come close to me, please, don't come close to me, I can't bear it, I can't bear it...My sisters are all alienated from me. Do you want all women to reject me?" He grabbed the maid's arm, and the fingertips were faint.
Turning pale, with loneliness and helplessness in his eyes, he staggered around and just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
Looking at her back, my heart ached.
The love between children here is strong, but lives are at stake over there.
It was originally a place for guests to rest temporarily, go out, or change clothes. In the room, they were carefully put down. Xia Bihe's whole face was covered in blood. Her clothes were wet, and blood spread on them. It felt like being soaked in blood.
It's so obvious that it makes people extremely panicked.
Xiaocao also had a lot of blood on her body, but she didn't care at all. She hurriedly asked the maid to take off her wet clothes and stuffed her into the quilt. Then she went to prepare some soup dumplings and hot water, and then asked her maid to go to the carriage to pick her up.
Bring over the medical kit. - Because of the old concubine's matter, I took the medical kit with me when I went out, just in case.
Xiaocao tried to stop Xia Bihe's bleeding, but then she discovered that Xia Bihe's body was abnormal and it was difficult to stop the bleeding, so she directly used silver needles to slow down her blood circulation, so that her body temperature dropped even lower.
