From beginning to end, Lu Jinxi's dazed gaze never landed on them.

"Ma'am, it's good if you wake up. Drink some medicine first."

Qingque's eyes are still red, and the person has lost a lot of weight, looking like a pin-shaped haggard.

The egret on the side also had a pale face. Seeing that Lu Jinxi didn't move much, he stretched out his hand and supported her against the pillow with the maid next to her.

Only then did her eyes turn a little bit.

Then he blinked again and looked at them.

That kind of eyes, don't know what day and night, there is a little vague daze, but it quickly turned into an indescribable condensed concentration.

Like an ancient well, like a deep sea.

Lu Jinxi didn't drink the medicine, her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, and she only asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"

"It's been more than four days."

Egret can't hide her emotions very much. Hearing her opening her mouth to ask this, she almost stopped crying.

It was dusk now.

The setting sun on the horizon is sinking, and the drunken afterglow scatters inside and outside the yard, and also casts the swaying tree shadows outside the window into the window.

The room was full of peace and tranquility.

Lu Jinxi's eyes shifted, staring at the shadow of the tree outside the window, but what came to mind was the scene before and after his fall from the horse that day.

Slight dizziness and stupor.

She asked again, "Have those mountain bandits been caught?"

"Most of them have already been put to death, but I heard that a few escaped." This time it was Qingque who answered, and she was a witness, so it was inevitable that she was a little terrified, "The slaves were imprisoned in the back mountain by them at the time, when they escorted He The commanders are all gone. Four days ago, thanks to Master Fang, who used his soldiers like gods and made a surprise attack from the rear, he captured these thieves in one fell swoop and rescued you."

"Fang Shaoxing..."

Lu Jinxi muttered in a low voice, but did not speak for a long time.

She didn't speak, and Egret Qingque didn't dare to speak.

That's how the medicine bowl was held.

The vague heat rose from the bowl full of bitter taste, and gradually spread all over the house.

The moment she woke up, the news had already spread.

When the sky did not reach the horizon, footsteps were heard outside.

It's just that it wasn't any elder in the house who came, but Wei Xian, the third young lady who used to be at odds with Lu Jin earlier.

"Second sister-in-law is awake!"

Familiar timbre, familiar tone, and familiar sarcasm, but this sarcasm has a slightly different meaning from the past.

Like puzzlement, like envy.

Still dressed in magenta, Baidie wore a flower-horse-faced skirt, and her gait when walking was considered graceful. Wei Xian walked in from the outside, holding a small satin fan painted with peony between her slender fingers.

Looking at Lu Jinxi on the bed, the bottom of his eyes became even more strange.

She always regarded Lu Jinxi as an enemy.

Just because the hero she admired most back then was Xue Kuang, like countless ladies in the capital, she had thought of marrying him.

But who would have thought, the emperor's decree together, pointed out the marriage for him.

The girl's thoughts when she was pregnant with spring, so she died in the middle.

Like other women in the capital, she knew that she had no hope. After all, Xue Kuang's wife was Lu Jinxi, who was as famous as her sister Wei Yi.

Although not necessarily smart, her beauty is still recognized by everyone.

Wei Xian envied her and envied her.

But before Xue Kuang's accident, her feelings for Lu Jin's cherishment were limited to this, and there was no more overstepping and escalation.

until the bad news came.

Such a cowardly woman...

Before Xue Kuang was alive, she was weak and easy to deceive. After her death, how could she afford such a large general's mansion? Her incompetence made the whole capital laugh at it!

And how could she allow the family of the person she once admired to be criticized by others?

So that year, despite her family's objections, she chose Xue Kuang's incompetent younger brother Xue Rin without hesitation.

Just to get into this home.

Only to drive out the woman who brought shame to the General's House.

From Wei Xian's point of view, Xue Kuang was a great hero, and the one who could stand by her side should at least be a woman who could rival her sister-in-law.

The cowardly and incompetent Lu Jinxi would not even deserve to be buried with Xue Kuang if he died one day.

Even her tablet should not be enshrined in the Xue family.

She did everything possible to bully her and seize her power, and she also went to great lengths to design her, wanting her to go out, and the widow to lose her virginity...

She wished she would remarry and leave the Xue family.

But what about now?

What had been looking forward to for many years, suddenly there was an unexpected surprise development, and even as more details of the bandit suppression came out, it caused a sensation in the entire capital and caused countless rumors...

Wei Xian was not very happy.

At least, not as happy as she thought and longed for.

even……

When she saw Lu Jinxi, who woke up, leaning on the head of the bed so calmly, she felt an unspeakable melancholy in her heart.

The footsteps stopped quietly.

Wei Xian stood on the edge of Lu Jinxi's bed, and the sarcasm when she entered the room suddenly subsided a little, and turned into a kind of pity that she didn't even think of.

"Second sister-in-law, you are in big trouble..."

Chapter 142 Gossip

"It's a big trouble..."

In the courtyard in the other corner of the General's Mansion, Mrs. Sun sat cross-legged on the heated kang in front of the window, looking at the night falling outside, her eyes, which were stained with some vicissitudes, were already gloomy.

Feng's mother was also worried, thinking of the rumors and rumors that had spread all over the streets in Beijing in recent days, she wanted to persuade her, and finally sighed.

"Madam, old slave..."

Halfway through, got stuck again.

Mr. Sun looked back, only lowered his head, and the silver hairpin on his gray temples looked more and more dim under the light, and only said, "What did you hear?"

"Ugh……"

Feng's mother had lived for so many years, and it was the first time that she felt so indescribable.

"You can hear it wherever you go. At first, it was just rumored from outside. Now even the servants in our house are talking about it, and I can't stop scolding. This gossip can be said even if there is nothing at all, let alone. It really looked like something. Madam, this is not the way to go."

More than ten days ago, Mr. Lu said that he was going to a Zen temple to worship Buddha.

After Xue Kuang left, she began to believe in Buddhism.

Therefore, when this matter is brought up, naturally there will be no objection. Who would have thought that on the way back, they would be robbed by mountain bandits and taken hostage!

At this point, it can only be said that it is a very unfortunate thing, but it is not enough to cause people to talk about it so much today.

But it's more than that.

This matter, inexplicably later, has something to do with Gu Da Gongzi of the Taishi Mansion, and Gu Jue, the head of Lifan Hall, who is now being used by the emperor!

After the incident, the news spread to the capital.

The emperor immediately sent Fang Shaoxing to lead the officers and soldiers to secretly go to suppress the bandits.

In the process of suppressing the bandits, the Lu family was a weak girl who was accidentally injured, but who would have thought that there was another Gu Juefei who was sent back to the capital so quickly!

The day when the bandits were suppressed, after all, there were many people with different eyes.

Where in the world can there be an airtight wall?

With the return of the officers and soldiers who participated in the bandit suppression that day and the advance of the tribunal of the three divisions, all kinds of speculations and rumors, as if they had grown wings, spread throughout the capital within half a day.

The mountain bandits robbed the general's wife Lu, how could Gu Juefei, the head of the Lifan Hall, also appear there?

It's enough to appear over there, why is it still seriously injured?
