Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine
Chapter 226: Kneeling in the Ancestral Hall
The old lady was really ill this time, and Shou'an Hospital was in a panic.
Cui Jun invited the imperial doctor to come and was diagnosing the old lady's pulse.
"Mr. Zhang, how is my mother?" Cui Jun stood aside and asked in a low voice.
After a while, Doctor Zhang stopped his hand and then stood up and said: "Don't worry, Lord, the old lady is very anxious. She will recover in a few days, but she must not make her angry again."
"Thank you, doctor."
Cui Jun personally sent Doctor Zhang out.
"Brother, I heard that my mother fell ill." Cui Xin, the fourth master, and others came after hearing the news.
"Doctor Zhang just came to see her. It's nothing serious. Mother needs to rest. You all should go back first. I'll let someone tell you when mother wakes up."
"My mother is sick and needs someone to take care of her. Brother, can you let me in?" The second lady stepped forward and said.
"There's no need to bother the second younger brother and sister. Minghui is taking care of my mother, so we don't need too many people. Just go back and wait."
"Second sister-in-law, we will follow the arrangements of the elder brother," the third lady said warmly, "If there is any use for us, the elder brother can send someone to deliver the message."
Cui Jun nodded and turned back to the room.
"Let's go too." Cui Xin said.
The second lady kept looking back, "As soon as Qi Yan came back, my mother fell ill. This is too strange."
"The second sister-in-law is really well-informed." The fourth lady said in a nonchalant manner.
"I'm also concerned. Qi Yan has been away for several days, and I heard that he went to find the maid who used to be with him. She is the one who has excellent stilt press skills. Her name is Yunling..."
The second lady's eyes flickered back and forth between the few people, with the intention of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
It can't be her fault,
After all these years, she finally caught Dafang's pigtail, how could she let it go so easily.
The eldest son of Duke Dingguo, who had always been praised by others, actually made his grandmother mad because of a maid. If someone outside knew about this, wouldn't Dafang have his spine pierced?
As if he knew what she was thinking, Cui Xin, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, with a serious expression on his usually gentle face, "Second sister-in-law, you can't say this nonsense. Don't forget that Qi Yanke represents our country. In the palace, if his reputation is damaged, the conduct of other children in the palace will also be criticized."
This sentence stopped the second lady. She wanted to see the excitement in the big house, but she didn't want to involve her two children.
"I just talk about it in front of my family and won't talk about it outside. I still understand the seriousness."
"Second sister-in-law, it's good if she understands."
The second master, Cui Xing, glared at the second lady angrily and quickened his pace to stay away from her.
Cui Jun returned to the room and said with a cold face to Cui Qiyan, who was standing next to him: "Go to the ancestral hall, kneel and reflect, and don't let your grandmother wake up and see you and get angry again."
"Yes, my son is leaving."
Cui Qiyan came out, and Ji Bai, who was waiting outside, came over immediately, "Your Majesty, is the old lady okay?"
Cui Qiyan said nothing and walked straight towards the ancestral hall.
Ji Bai felt ashamed and followed silently with his head drooped.
At Xu's hour, the old lady woke up, and Cui Jun and the eldest lady who were guarding the bed quickly stood up.
"Mother, how do you feel?"
The old lady was a little confused, and it took a while before she said: "It's getting dark..."
"Yes," Cui Jun breathed a sigh of relief. "You fainted suddenly, which frightened us. Don't worry, Dr. Zhang will come to help you."
You checked your pulse and said you will be fine after just resting quietly for a few days. "
The old lady seemed to suddenly remember and stretched out her hand from the quilt, "Where is Qi Yan? He can't leave..."
The eldest lady held her hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, he doesn't dare to leave. His father punished him by kneeling in the ancestral hall."
Cui Jun snorted coldly, "That bastard is disobedient and unfilial. Let him kneel in the ancestral hall to clear his head."
"Let him get up. He has been traveling for several days and is probably exhausted." The old lady finally felt sorry for her eldest grandson.
"Mom, there is no need to worry about him. You take good care of yourself." The eldest lady put the old lady's hand back into the quilt and tucked her in.
After that, the eldest lady personally fed the old lady a small bowl of porridge before leaving Shou'an Yuan with Cui Jun.
"You go back first, and I'll go see Qi Yan." When they reached the fork in the road, the eldest lady stopped and said to Cui Jun.
Cui Jun knew he couldn't persuade her, so he reluctantly responded: "Go ahead. If he still wants to find that maid, don't let him get up."
"Okay, I know what to do, let's go." The eldest lady pushed him.
"You come back early too."
Cui Jun left after hearing the eldest lady's agreement.
The eldest lady turned around and told Mother Wu, "Qiulan, go to the dining room and ask them to prepare some of Qi Yan's favorite dishes and send them to Chenglin Pavilion."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Guizhi, let's go to the ancestral hall."
Mother Xu followed the eldest lady with a lantern.
Cui Qiyan knelt with his back straight under the memorial tablet of the ancestors of the Cui family. The candlelight flickered, making his resolute face flicker.
"Madam." Ji Bai, who was guarding the door, saluted.
The eldest lady nodded and entered by herself.
She walked to Cui Qiyan and knelt down, looking at him with a haggard face at such a close distance.
I couldn't help but feel distressed.
In the past, I saw that he didn't care about things between men and women, and his whole person was deserted. She always hopes that he can have someone he truly likes so that he can feel a different kind of warmth.
Now he really has someone he cares about most, but he can't stay with her and has made him suffer so much.
If she had known this was the case, she would have preferred that he never knew the feeling of love and got married and had children step by step, rather than suffering like this now.
"Mother, it's cold at night in the ancestral hall, why are you here?" Cui Qiyan said, looking at the eldest lady with reddish eyes.
The eldest lady came back to her senses and said, "Oh, I'm here to tell you that your grandmother is awake."
"Is grandma okay?" Cui Qiyan asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing serious. I ate a bowl of porridge when I woke up."
"That's good."
"Your grandmother knew you were kneeling in the ancestral hall, and she specifically asked you to get up."
Cui Qiyan felt even more guilty when he heard this, "I shouldn't have said those words in front of my grandmother."
"Your grandmother is getting old, and she hopes that you will get married soon. You said today that you would not marry Qin Fangsui, but Yunling, which shocked her a lot."
"Is mother also here to persuade me?" Cui Qiyan heard the deeper meaning in her words and said bluntly, "Mom, there is no need to persuade me. I am not impulsive, but after a long period of careful consideration and struggle."
Cui Qiyan looked up at the rows of memorial tablets of his ancestors, "I once naively thought that I could marry a suitable person to be my wife for the Dingguo Palace, and at the same time have someone I love. It was Yunling's departure. It made me understand that once you pretend to be a person in your heart, you can't get along with another person in the name of husband and wife."
"Because my selfishness has hurt Yunling and forced her to leave me.
. Cui Qiyan turned his eyes and said, "Mother, no matter who tries to persuade me, I will never marry anyone else." "
