Chapter 253 Cannon Fodder Among the Twins 1
"Uh..." No one in the room who knew what had happened spoke.
Shui Changhao looked at Shui Xiuping and his wife, then told Shui Changxu what had happened.
"Then find her back quickly and let her die in place of her sister!" Shui Changxu blurted out.
"I want to too! But no one knows where she was sent." Shui Xiuping still frowned.
"Master..." At this time, the butler came to Shui Xiuping and wanted to say something.
"Just say what you want to say." Shui Xiuping signaled the butler to speak up.
"My niece seems to have seen her..."
"Where?" Several people from the Shui family asked in unison.
"In...a nunnery in the mountains 100 miles outside the city. She said there is a little nun who is practicing Buddhism there and looks very much like the eldest lady..." The housekeeper looked at the anxious people and answered quickly.
"Go and call Nanny Lai." Shui Xiuping was almost sure it was the case, but he still wanted to confirm it and thought of Nanny Lai who had sent her out of the house.
"Yes, sir." The butler responded immediately and quickly left the room.
After an incense stick of time, the housekeeper came in with Nanny Lai.
When Lai Ma saw Shui Xiuping and the others, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Master, Madam, and the two young masters."
"Get up." Shui Xiuping motioned for her to get up.
"Yes."
"Let me ask you, which direction did you go when I asked you to send the child away?" Li Zhi asked anxiously.
"To the north, I am going to the north..." Nanny Lai was very uneasy. She was afraid! She had put the child in the wilderness to save trouble. Now she must not be held responsible for it!
After listening to this, Shui Xiuping motioned for her to go down.
Nanny Lai bowed respectfully and walked quickly out of the front hall.
"Phew! She was so scared. She thought she was going to die."
"Chang'er, you personally take people to bring her back." Shui Xiuping looked at his eldest son and ordered.
"Yes, father." Shui Changhao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in response.
……
Night, General's Mansion.
Shui Lingchu sat in her room, tears streaming down her face.
She didn't want to die! Why did God torture her like this? Why did he treat her like this?
The maid next to her looked at her mistress and didn't know how to comfort her.
Ever since the general's mansion was surrounded by His Majesty's order, the young lady has started to refuse to eat or drink and has been crying.
She felt heartbroken but helpless, and could only hope that the master and mistress could find a solution!
At this time, Shui Lingchu's nurse came in. Seeing the person still crying, she stepped forward distressedly and said, "Miss, you need to eat!"
"Nurse, I can't eat." Shui Lingchu said with a sob.
"Miss, please take a look." The nanny took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Shui Lingchu.
Shui Lingchu took it and opened it. When she read the words on it, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
The nurse nodded to her, took the note and placed it on the candle.
"Miss, do you want to eat?"
"Eat." Shui Lingchu replied with a smile.
"Then please wait a moment. I will get you food right away." The wet nurse patted Shui Lingchu's hand and said with a smile.
"Ah."
The wet nurse brought the food quickly. After Shui Lingchu ate, she washed up with the help of the maid and went to bed peacefully.
……
"Peony, is she still making a fuss?" Shui Lingchu's mother-in-law asked the maid beside her.
"To answer Madam, the young mistress's nurse just went to the kitchen to get some food. The lights in that courtyard were also turned off early."
"Alas! I shouldn't have listened to Mingzhe and married a beautiful girl."
Shaoyao lowered her head and said nothing. She didn't dare to say these words.
The young general fell in love with the girl at first sight, but who knew that so many problems would arise after he married her.
She would tear up at any time, and seemed extremely weak every time she paid her respects, and even fainted.
The people in the general's mansion were straightforward and were not used to such an emotional person. In order to avoid conflict, everyone tried to avoid her.
Ever since the day the officers and soldiers surrounded the general's mansion, that person has been making a big fuss in the mansion.
He Yue almost understood everything on the roof.
She also understood why the Shui family was so anxious. The emperor did not want to let go of anyone in the General's Mansion.
Neither married women nor daughters-in-law at home will be spared, they are going to be caught in one fell swoop!
……
Shui Changhao and his men rode at full speed to the foot of the mountain where Qingyan Temple was located, but they could not find where Qingyan Temple was.
After half an hour, Shui Changhao became impatient.
"Look for it. Go and find it for me."
"Yes, young master." The servants also began to disperse to ask other people.
People came back one after another and reported: "Master, they don't know Qingyan Temple, and have never heard of it."
Shui Changhao looked at the butler beside him: "Are you sure you remember it correctly?"
"In reply to the eldest young master, I remember it clearly. It is the Qingyan Temple here." The housekeeper was also very puzzled. This was the place his niece was talking about!
"That's strange. Let's go back first." Shui Changhao really didn't understand what was going on, so he could only go back first.
"Yes."
As they were moving forward, Shui Changhao's horse was suddenly frightened and ran forward wildly.
Shui Changhao tried various methods to tighten the reins, but he could not stop the out-of-control horse.
The butler and other followers were frightened by this scene. They hurriedly chased after him, but they could not catch up with Shui Changhao no matter what.
At this moment, the neighing of horses and Shui Changhao's cries of pain were heard from the front.
"Young Master..." everyone exclaimed.
When they finally caught up and saw Shui Changhao, everyone was so horrified that they were speechless.
Shui Changhao was kneeling on the ground, his body covered in dust, his legs twisted like a pretzel.
The butler reined in his horse and crawled towards Shui Changhao.
"Young Master, Young Master..." His hands were shaking, not knowing what to do.
"Dad, we have to send the eldest young master to the hospital as soon as possible." The housekeeper's son also ran over and whispered in the housekeeper's ear.
"Yes, yes, yes... Hurry up and carry the young master on your back, let's go see a doctor..." The housekeeper hurriedly instructed his son.
"Yes." The housekeeper's son squatted down, and the others helped Shui Changhao up and placed him on his back.
……
"What did you say? Doctor, please take a look at our young master..." After hearing the doctor's words, the butler pleaded in a trembling voice.
"There's no hope of saving him. His leg bones are all broken." The old doctor looked at Shui Changhao with pity.
Alas! It's a pity that his legs are ruined at such a young age.
"Let's go back to Beijing." The housekeeper hurriedly ordered people to lift Shui Changhao and walk out.
Along the way, they did not dare to stop and quickly returned to the Water Palace.
"My son, what happened to you?" When Li Zhixin saw her unconscious son, she fainted on the ground.
Shui Xiuping immediately helped his wife up and asked the housekeeper in a deep voice, "What happened to the young master?"
