Chapter 275
Nanny Lin could not bear to see her like this and sighed, "Second Young Mistress, don't be too sad. Our Second Young Master is blessed, he will definitely get through this!"
Zhou Jingyi forced a smile and nodded, "Nanny Lin is right, he will be fine!"
Returning to her in-laws' house, Zhou Jingyi hurriedly went to greet her in-laws.
When Second Old Mistress Shi saw her plain clothes and slightly swollen eyes, she was slightly satisfied. However, since her son had already made up his mind to not want this woman, she could not be bothered to give her any face. Seeing her bow, Second Old Mistress Shi lazily raised her hand, "It's good that you're back, get up!"
Zhou Jingyi got up and asked, "Father, Mother, I heard from Nanny Lin that my husband is staying at Bi Luo Pavilion, I want to see him now. I will move into Su Xin Pavilion tomorrow, it will be more convenient for me to take care of him! "
"No need!" How could Second Old Mistress Shi allow her to add to her son's troubles? She immediately rejected her. "There are proper servants there to take care of him, it's better if you don't go! You've already done your best to visit him twice! "
"Mother!" Zhou Jingyi insisted, "Let me go, I, I want to take care of my husband personally …"
Second Old Mistress Shi frowned and looked at her from head to toe, thinking, Why are you putting on an act here? My son and you don't have any feelings for each other, why do you have to put on an act like this?
"How can that be!" Second Old Mistress Shi continued to reject, "If anything happens to you, our Shi family will be even more sorry to you! This matter is settled, since you're back, just stay in Xiu Garden! "Second Old Mistress Shi could only hope that the Zhou couple would hurry over so that she could bring up the matter of the divorce.
It was naturally inconvenient for the Zhou family to bring up this matter, but the Shi family was magnanimous. If they were to bring it up, not only would they not attract criticism, they would even be praised. Moreover, Old Mistress Zhou might even clap her hands in joy!
"Mother! I beg of you! Let me go! Or else, I won't feel at ease! I'll be careful, nothing will happen! Mother! "Zhou Jingyi pleaded bitterly.
How could Second Old Mistress Shi let her go? She immediately became impatient, but Second Lord Shi could not stand it anymore and sighed, "Let my daughter-in-law go! It's rare for her to show her sincerity! Maybe my son will be happy to see her by his side and get better! "
The Second Lord Shi didn't know about this, and Rijeong was extremely worried. Seeing his daughter-in-law being so considerate, he was very touched.
"Thank you, Father!" Zhou Jin Yi was overjoyed.
"No!"
"I say, what's wrong with you!" The Second Lord Shi lost his temper and said with a dark face, "In the past, you always complained that your daughter-in-law was not good and virtuous. Now that she's willing to take care of your son, you're stopping her. What are you trying to do?"
Second Old Mistress Shi was already afraid of her husband. Hearing him say that, her heart skipped a beat and she could not help but feel guilty. In the past, if her daughter-in-law was willing to take care of her sick son, she would have been more than willing. Even if she didn't want to, she would have forced her to go! If he continued to obstruct them and aroused Master's suspicions, then things would be bad!
Second Old Mistress Shi said, "Do you think I don't want my daughter-in-law to take care of my son? This way, I can feel more at ease! But, but if our in-laws find out about this, they will definitely blame us! If anything happens to my daughter-in-law, how are we going to explain it to them! How about this, when our in-laws come, I won't have any objections if they agree! "
The Second Lord Shi felt that her words made sense, so he said to Zhou Jin Yi, "Your mother-in-law is right, this is for the best! You just have to go and take a look, the rest can wait! "
Zhou Jin Yi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Father, Mother, don't worry. My father and mother asked me to come back to take care of my husband. They definitely won't have any objections! If you don't believe me, we can ask them when they come tomorrow! "
"It's rare for our in-laws to be so considerate!" Second Old Master Shi sighed and nodded his head, "If that's the case, I won't stop you from doing what you want. Go on! Remember to be careful and take care of yourself first! Daughter-in-law, Father will say something to you today. After Fengming gets through this, if he dares to let you down again, I will break his legs! "
"Father!" Zhou Jin Yi's gaze was complicated.
Second Old Mistress Shi, on the other hand, glared at her husband unhappily and pulled a long face.
Zhou Jin Yi bade farewell to the two of them and returned to Xiu Garden to pack up before bringing Su Qing to Bi Luo Pavilion.
As they walked, the closer they got, the more uneasy she felt and her footsteps became messy. Two years, she had not seen him for two years. She did not know how he looked like when she saw him again. Tuberculosis? Would he be tortured badly by his illness?
Zhou Jin Yi's legs went soft and she stumbled and almost fell. Su Qing hurriedly supported her, "Second Young Mistress, why don't you rest for a while?"
Zhou Jin Yi shook her head, "Let's go!" Even though she was nervous and uneasy, the earlier she saw him, the better.
Bi Luo Pavilion was right in front of her. Zhou Jin Yi took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open.
A strange smell of medicine wafted over and Zhou Jin Yi's heart ached, almost tearing up. He was right in front of her, but was he still the same person she first met?
"Second Young Mistress! You, why are you here? " A maidservant lifted the curtain and walked out of the room. When she saw the master and servant, she was startled and hurriedly pulled down the veil covering her face and went forward to greet them.
Zhou Jin Yi recognized this maidservant. It was Xiao Cui, who served her mother-in-law.
"How is Second Young Master? Is he alright? "Zhou Jin Yi nodded and asked.
Xiao Cui said, "I just fed Second Young Master some medicine and he's lying down now! He looks … quite energetic! Second Young Mistress, do you want to go in? Or … do you want to look outside the window? "
"I'll go in and take a look."
Xiao Cui placed the tray with the bowl of medicine on the stone table in the courtyard and said with a smile, "There's a clean veil in the side room and some medicine for washing your hands. This servant will bring you there!"
Zhou Jin Yi nodded her head and instructed Su Qing, "You wait outside! I'll go in alone! "
Su Qing and Su Bi were both maidservants brought along by her maternal family. When they saw that their young master did not like their young miss, they instinctively rejected Shi Fengming. When they heard that they did not need to go in, they were eager and hurriedly said, "Second Young Mistress, please come out after taking a look. Don't disturb Second Young Master's rest. This servant will wait for you outside!"
Zhou Jin Yi nodded and followed Xiao Cui.
After tidying up, she went in and saw Shi Fengming lying on the bed. His pale and sallow face looked very haggard. He coughed and frowned from time to time, looking very painful. Coupled with the faint smell of medicine in the room, Zhou Jin Yi's heart ached. She went forward and asked softly, "Husband, are … are you alright?"
Xiao Cui glanced at him and quietly retreated.
Shi Fengming did not expect that pretending to be ill with tuberculosis would be so difficult. Not only was he forced to move to a remote and simple courtyard, but he also had to lie in bed all day long and smell the unpleasant smell of medicine and drink medicine. Although Shi Fengju had people tamper with the medicine and it was harmless to the body, the taste of the medicine made Shi Fengming suffer unspeakably. It was better to die than to live. He was sure that his eldest brother must have taken the opportunity to punish him and deliberately gave him such a difficult medicine to swallow.
Seeing Zhou Jin Yi enter with tears in her eyes, Shi Fengming was secretly vigilant. He knew that it was time to sing. Wasn't it all because of her that he was where he was today? If she had agreed to divorce and returned to the Zhou family, wouldn't he have suffered a lot less?
Shi Fengming was unhappy and his expression became uglier. He frowned and said faintly, "It's you. What are you doing here? This is not a place for you to come. Get out! "
"Husband!" Zhou Jin Yi's heart ached when she heard him talk to her like this. She could not help but cry. She choked and said, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here with you. Don't worry, you'll definitely get better. Definitely! "
It was not that she did not resent him. The more she loved him, the deeper her resentment. However, he was still her husband. Thinking back to the moment when he lifted her red veil and looking at the person in front of her now, Zhou Jin Yi only felt like her heart was being twisted by a knife. All her resentment disappeared. As long as he could get better, she was willing to do anything!
Shi Fengming was stunned. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the thin blanket. He was slightly annoyed. Did she have to be so "affectionate"? Did she have to cry like this? He never had any feelings for her, nor did he give her a good face. He really didn't know how she could call him "husband" so smoothly, but to his ears, it was incomparably ear-piercing!
"My illness is contagious. You'd better leave. Don't stay here. What if —"
"I won't!" Zhou Jin Yi shook her head and gently interrupted him. "I'll be careful. Moreover, I'm not afraid! "
Shi Fengming almost choked. After a moment, he said in a muffled voice, "But I don't want to implicate you and delay you. Zhou … Jin Yi, I think we should divorce! Go back to your Zhou family and find a good family to marry in the future! Don't worry, our Shi family will not treat you unfairly. Take all your dowry with you. Other than that, I'll ask my parents to compensate you with a sum of money. It's enough for you to marry a husband you like and live a good life! "
"No, no! I don't want to! I won't leave! "Zhou Jin Yi heard him say this and felt sad, sour, touched, and happy. Was he thinking for her? He had already become like this and he was still thinking for her? It could be seen that he still had her in his heart. It could be seen that he had turned over a new leaf! She had always been thinking about him, and now that he was regretting his decision, how could she be a heartless person and leave him when he needed her the most!
"Don't worry!" Zhou Jin Yi could not help but hold his hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I won't leave you, I won't! If, if the heavens are really so heartless, I, I will protect you for the rest of my life! I will never be disloyal! "
A soft and delicate hand suddenly held his palm. The cool touch brought about a slight numbing itch. Shi Fengming suddenly froze and felt very uncomfortable. He struggled slightly, but Zhou Jin Yi's emotions were agitated and she held him tightly. Moreover, he was a "patient" and it was inconvenient for him to use force, so he could only let her hold him.
