I was Idle and Cool Chapter 141: After the gangsters
Lu Jinxi...
A gentle and clear voice.
It sounds like a dream bestowed by God.
So Lu Jinxi really had a dream.
There are swords, mountains, her, that mysterious man, and even Fang Shaoxing in silver armor, and...
Gu Juefei covered in blood.
Sometimes it was the severe pain of rolling to the ground, another time it was dizziness from the recurrence of an old injury; another time it was Fang Shaoxing who urgently called her, and another time it was Gu Juefei who fell into her world...
Long and messy.
It's a nightmare that looks like it's been a lifetime.
When she woke up, Lu Jinxi opened her eyes.
There is a faint scent of sandalwood in the room that has become faint, the familiar soft bed under the body, and the familiar and delicate lotus tent above the head...
It's the general's mansion, her house.
For a brief moment, she thought she was really just having a nightmare: she had never been to Baoding, and she had never been robbed on the way back, so Gu Juefei naturally did not take any risk to save her...
Only the next moment, such a bubble-like fantasy was broken.
Qing Que, who came by with a bowl of medicine, saw her with her eyes open, and the bottom of those eyes suddenly smeared with a tearful surprise: "Madam, Madam is awake!"
So inside and outside the house, a large group of people crowded up.
Lu Jinxi's eyes were full of heads.
She was still in the emptiness, and she glanced over. In addition to the green sparrow, she also saw the egret, the other maids, and the tearful Xue Minglang, Xue Mingli and Xue Chi, and the silent standing next to her. Xue Tingzhi wrote...
"Mother, you are awake."
"Mother..."
They all looked at her with great worry and surprise, but at this moment, Lu Jinxi only had an indescribable exhaustion, and he couldn't raise his hand to comfort them, let alone say a word.
She blinked slowly and just lay there without moving.
No doubt, this is a strange, almost world-weary indifference.
Everyone noticed it at once.
Whether it was the imperial physician from the palace or the ghost hand Zhang from Huishengtang, they all explained that if Madam wakes up, she needs to rest.
So Qing Que was busy with tears and first advised everyone to go back to rest.
Although a few children were reluctant, the house was in chaos, and the maids couldn't possibly let them stay here, or persuade them to leave.
Xue Tingzhi watched her for a while, and finally left.
From beginning to end, Lu Jinxi's dazed gaze never landed on them.
"Madam, just wake up and drink some medicine."
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 helped her against the pillow with the maid next to him.
Until this time, her eyes turned a little bit.
Then blinked again and looked at them.
That kind of eyes, I don't know what the night is, there is a little vague dazedness, but it quickly turns into an indescribable concentration.
Like an ancient well, like a deep sea.
Lu Jinxi didn't drink the medicine, and her voice was a little hoarse when she opened her mouth. She only asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"
"It's been over four days."
Egret can't hold back her emotions very well. Hearing her opening her mouth to ask this, she almost stopped crying.
It's 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 is full of peace and tranquility.
Lu Jinxi's gaze 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 caught it?"
"Most of them have already been put to death, but I heard people say that a few escaped." This time it was Qingque who answered, she was a witness, and she was inevitably a little panicked, "The slaves were locked in the back mountain by them, They were all gone. Four days ago, thanks to Lord Fang, who used his troops like a **** and made a surprise attack from the rear, he captured these thieves in one fell swoop and saved you."
"Fang Shaoxing..."
Lu Jinxi muttered in a low voice, but did not speak for a long time.
She didn't speak, and neither did the egret bluebird.
That's how the medicine bowl is held.
The vague heat rises from the bowl full of bitterness and gradually spreads throughout the house.
The moment she woke up, the news had already spread.
As the sky sank to the horizon, footsteps were heard outside.
It's just that it wasn't any elder in the mansion 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 contains something completely different from the past.
Like incomprehension and envy.
Still wearing a magenta butterfly and wearing a horse-faced skirt, her gait is also graceful. Wei Xian walked in from the outside with a small satin fan painted with peony between her slender fingers.
Looking at Lu Jinxi on the bed, the bottom of her eyes was even more strange.
She always regarded Lu Jinxi as an enemy.
Just because the hero she most admired 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 with his decree, pointed out the marriage for him.
The girl's thoughts when she was pregnant, so she died in the middle.
Like other women in the capital, she knew that she was hopeless. 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.
Weixian envied her and envied her.
But before Xue Kuang's accident, her emotions towards Lu Jinxi were limited to this, and there was no more overstepping and escalation.
Until the bad news comes.
Such a cowardly woman...
Before Xue Kuang was alive, he was weak and easy to deceive. After his death, how could he afford such a large general's mansion? Her incompetence made the whole capital see a joke!
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 brother Xue Rin without hesitation.
Just to enter this home.
And only to drive out the woman who brought shame to the general's house.
In Wei Xian's opinion, Xue Kuang is a great hero, and the one who can stand by her side should at least be a woman who can rival her sister.
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 I have been looking forward to for many years, suddenly there is an unexpected surprise development, and even as more details of the bandit suppression incident came out, it caused a sensation in the entire capital and caused countless rumors...
Weixian was not very happy.
At least, not as happy as she had 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 silently.
Weixian 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 even she didn't expect.
"Second sister-in-law, you are in big trouble..."
