Chapter 95 Part 1: Thunder

 

^^

 

The conversation that day did not leak out, but Gu Hui Yan personally ordered Gao Ran to move to the Buddhist hall to pray for Lin Wei Xi.

 

This kind of inner residence’s matters, which one was not wearing a high-sounding name. Gao Ran was said to be praying, but everyone knew that this praying would be endless. Gao Ran had no children and would never come out in the latter half of her life.

 

It’s called to reflect on one’s errors, but actually imprisonment.

 

Duke Yingguo old madam fell ill when she returned home that day. This disease came fiercely, in Duke Yingguo Mansion the decoctions were continuously be made. The whole mansion seemed to be soaked in the bitterness of the medicine, impossible to get rid of.

 

Han shi had tried to let people make inquiries. When she finally found out that Gao Ran had fallen, her face became pale immediately, the cup in her hand fell to the ground with a crash and broke into two.

 

Gao Ran was obviously the Shizi Consort, how could she be imprisoned in the Buddhist hall? That kind of place was damp and cold, throughout the year unlikely to meet outsiders, and one could imagine the food would also not be too good. Gao Ran had been noble and dignified all her life, how could she stand this kind of punishment?

 

Han shi seemed to have lost her soul, burst into tears while rushing into the old madam’s recuperation courtyard, even didn’t care about her disheveled hair: "Old ancestor, you have to save the third miss! She is a young lady from Guo Mansion, with honorable identity, how can she spend the rest of her life in the Buddhist hall?"

 

Right now Duke Yingguo old madam shouldn’t be disturbed. The personal maid beside the old madam was annoyed when she heard someone shouting loudly. She threw the curtain with unkind expression, her eyes were sharp like knives: "The old ancestor is recuperating inside. Which mouth with tongue not pull out cleanly dares to make a big fuss here?"

 

Han shi rushed through the gate, but was dragged out by someone before reaching the door frame. Han shi waved her withered hands around, with her scattered hair, and she looked like a madwoman: "I want to see the old ancestor, you let me go to see the old ancestor. She can't leave the third miss alone. If she do this, is she not afraid of retribution in the future?"

 

The head maid originally just hated Han shi's noisiness. Now that she heard those words, she immediately straightened her eyebrows and stared like a King Kong: "Are you insane? What kind of identity are you, how dare you curse the old ancestors. What are you all still doing? Lack hands or feet huh! Still not pull her away!"

 

Han shi still screamed and made noises. The head maid heard a dull, weak sentence from inside: "Let her come in."

 

"Old ancestor..."

 

"Let her in, I have something to ask her."

 

Han shi finally stopped, she roughly wiped her face with the back of her hand, smooth out her hair quickly, and walked into the inner room with quite steps.

 

There were three charcoal basins in the room, coupled with medicine smells that was not dissipate all day long, when the curtain was opened, a wave of heat assaulted the face, that smell definitely was not a good smell. Han shi resisted the urge to cough, and submissively knelt down to Duke Yingguo old madam: "Old ancestor."

 

She took the beauty hammer from the maid's hand as usual, but was stopped by the old madam. Duke Yingguo old madam wore a forehead guard on her head and her face was sallow. The whole ill person was leaning on the Babu bed crookedly. It could only described as unsightly. Illness would not discriminated anyone. Now Duke Yingguo old madam was like this, nowhere near the picture of noble madam.

 

Han shi only took one glance and didn't dare to look again. For some reason, she always felt that the old madam's eyes were strange and made people flustered.

 

"Han shi, let me ask you, where did my son go after he came out from your place the day he met the accident?"

 

Han shi was alarmed, and quietly looked up: "It's been a long time, why do you think of this?"

 

"I’m asking you!"

 

Duke Yingguo old madam suddenly yelled, and Han shi was frightened by such a dry and angry voice. She bowed her head tightly, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "This concubine doesn't know. When Shizi went out he was well, this concubine also doesn't know where he went."

 

The old madam leaned against the bed, staring at Han shi with her muddy eyes. After a while, she somehow laughed and said loudly, "Good, good, good!"

 

The old madam even said ‘good’ three times, no one expected that she would suddenly get excited. She stretched her hands from the Babu bed and grab Han shi's hair, slammed her on the bed fiercely: "You don't know, you still say you don't know? My son went to see you that day, obviously because of Yun yiniang! You used yin yang pot to poison Yun yiniang, and now you still want to deceive me. My son was killed by you!"

 

The head maid came in from outside and was shocked to see this scene. She threw away the medicine bowl with a bang, and hurriedly threw herself on Duke Yingguo old madam: "Old ancestor!"

 

With great difficulty people lifted up Duke Yingguo old madam, but even though she was held by the maids and grannies, she still stared at Han shi firmly, her eyes looks like she want to devour her bones and drink her blood: "You clearly know my son had an accident, but didn’t say anything, letting him died slowly! How could you, how could you! I want to kill you, I want to sell you to a filthy brothel, and slowly slice you to death!"

 

"Old ancestor!"

 

The young voices of the maids in the room went up and down, finally there was a long scream, and the sound of footsteps became more flustered. The maids pushed each other to run out, even bumped into each other: "The old ancestor fell ill, go and call the doctor!"

 

Duke Yingguo old madam laid on her back in the thick, damp bedding, felt the maids stuffing ginseng slices into her mouth. She thought that it was not easy to give birth to her son, so she had spoiled him for many years, and always gave whatever he wanted. Later, Wei shi had a strong temper and refused to act humble. She also always suppressed Wei shi and protected her son.

 

But the son she treasured for a lifetime, in such a desperate and painful way, alone at desolate mountain stream, he lost blood and died.

 

Duke Yingguo old madam suddenly looked back to a certain time, to a sunny day when young girls that were still green leisurely walked towards her. The leading girl lowered her head and walked through the curtain, her features were bright and beautiful, but her expression was cold. She squatted halfway, her voice neither too fast nor too slow: "Grandmother, Sister Xi pay respect to you."
