Chapter 32 Condemning
Old madam's gaze swept majestically and fiercely over Shu Huan's face for a while.
Once upon a time, when she was in charge of the family business, every time when she used this kind of gaze to explore those keepers, she would see loopholes from those who had a guilty conscience. This time, she couldn't see anything from Shu Huan's eyes.
Concubine Yun said with her head lowered, "Old madam, that matter was a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Old madam was still suspicious, slammed the table and said, "First, it was that they couldn't summon the handkerchief of consummation. Then, it was the matter of the sachet. Everything is explained with just the word misunderstanding? Perhaps, she committed suicide by hanging on the wedding night for this love affair!"
If one wants to condemn somebody, don't worry about the pretext!
Shu Huan was already too tired to justify herself just because this old madam didn't listen. No matter how she justified herself, it was all in vain. She could only take a side way and stake all in one gamble. "Since old madam doesn't believe me and also isn't willing to summon people to ask question or willing to find a doctor to check my pulse, Then, even if I have a hundred mouths, I can't argue."
While talking, she kowtowed at old madam. "Although, I was born in a poor family, I also know the importance of chasteness. I don't want to bear this kind of injustice about me not being chaste. I also don't want to damage Gu family's reputation because of this. Old madam, please forgive me for being unfilial and don't have the blessing to serve you in this lifetime. Perhaps in the next life, I will have the blessing to be happy under your wing!"
After having spoken that, she took the opportunity of getting up after she kowtowed to pick up a broken porcelain from the ground. She bit her lips and slashed her wrist. It happened so fast that the others couldn't stop her. The blood run through the wound and dripped on the ground.
Concubine Yun screamed and quickly grabbed the broken porcelain from her hand to prevent her from cutting herself again. Even old madam was shocked. She got up from the chair with the help of her cane. She didn't go see her injury first, but shouted, "Come! Get a doctor! Get a doctor!"
The maids had all been sent out. Naturally, no one answered her when she shouted and concubine Yun was looking after Shu Huan. She (Y) wasn't free. She (OM) got anxious and flew to the door herself, opened it and called the people.
Unexpectedly, concubine Yun was so fl.u.s.tered that she tore off her clothes for a long time, but still couldn't tear anything off to wrap the wound. When she looked at Shu Huan again, she had already fainted. She (Y) got anxious and was more fl.u.s.tered.
Just then, a figure suddenly rushed in from the outside and shouted to her in a low voice, "Out of the way!"
Concubine Yun was startled. She raised her eyes and was astounded, "Second young master?"
Gu Xiran used force to tear a part of his clothes. While he wrapped the wound, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Let someone go bring doctor Ji and let fourth young master help old madam inside. As for those maids, let them go back to their room. They aren't allowed to set a foot out of this yard for a while!"
