Chapter 5: Good concubine

Jiang Si wringed her hair dry, and drank the syrup provided by Ah Qiao. She felt warm all over and fell asleep shortly after lying on the bed.
It takes too much physical effort to go into the water to save people, and she is already exhausted.
Dongping Bofu was shrouded in a quiet darkness, but Anguo Gongfu, two blocks away from it, was crowded with people and brightly lit.
Mrs. Anguo's wife Wei, who was leaning against the bed, was crying hysterically holding Anguo's hand.
Anguo's face was gloomy, and he was distraught by Wei's crying. He reluctantly said: "Don't cry, Da Lang has rushed over, Sab Lang will be fine."
In the past, the government had caused troubles because of Saburo’s disappearance. He suddenly heard that Saburo fell into the water at night. He could only ask if there was anything wrong with him and ordered Da Lang to rush over. Now he does not know how Saburo drowned.
Anguogong's heart was overwhelming. At this time, the servant hurriedly came in and reported: "Guoguo, madam, the elder son is back with the third son."
"Let them come in!" Before Anguo could speak publicly, Wei suddenly sat up.
Soon there were footsteps outside the door, and the maid picked up the bead curtain and walked in three people.
Wei passed the eldest son Ji Chongli, and saw the bloodless third son Ji Chongyi at a glance, got up and rushed over: "San Lang, what's the matter with you? Let mother see if there is anything wrong!"
"Mother, I'm fine." Ji Chongyi showed a weak smile.
"How come it's okay?" Wei stroking Ji Chongyi's cheeks, tears rustling down, "Hair is all wet, so how can you fall into the water!"
"Ahem."
When the cough sounded, Wei couldn't help but glance at Anguo.
Anguo's sight fell behind Ji Chongyi.
A petite woman stood half a mile away from Ji Chongyi. She was now lowering her head and touching the hem of her clothes, uneasy.
Wei's face changed immediately, and his voice couldn't help but raise: "Who is she?"
Upon seeing this, Ji Chongyi stretched out his hand and pulled Qiaoniang to his side, looking straight into Wei's eyes: "Mother, she is the person who is pleased by her son, called Qiaoniang."
Wei's face couldn't help but stiff, staring at Qiaoniang's eyes bottomlessly: "So you are Qiaoniang. I heard that you saved our Saburo before, but I haven't thanked you yet."
Qiaoniang looked up at Wei in surprise, then lowered her head and said nervously, "No, thank you for not being a madam"
"Hanfang, take the girl Qiaoniang down for a good rest." Wei Shi interrupted Qiaoniang lightly.
Hanfang, the maidservant next to Wei Shi, walked to Qiaoniang and said with a smile: "Girl Qiaoniang, please come with your maid."
Qiaoniang couldn't help but glance at Ji Chongyi.
Ji Chongyi thought for a while, and Chong Qiaoniang nodded gently: "Go and rest. I will see you tomorrow."
Qiao Niang relieved her heart and followed the maid out.
A cold light flashed under Wei's eyes.
It's a wild girl who doesn't understand the rules. Let's not talk about the relationship between a girl's house and her son, just say that when she left, she didn't know how to salute the people present. You can see how the education is.
"Chuanrui, bring the tea to San Gongzi."
Soon a maid in the same attire as Han Fang came up with a cup of tea.
An Guogong coldly watched his younger son finish drinking the tea, and then asked, "What's going on?"
These words were asked by Ji Chongli, the son of Anguo.
Ji Chongli quickly glanced at Ji Chongyi, knowing that it was impossible to hide it, and bit the bullet and said: "The third brother...the third brother jumped into the lake with that woman..."
"Damn!" Anguo raised his foot and kicked over a chair.
Ji Chongyi thumped and knelt down.
Wei looked at An Guogong with an aversion: "What did the master do with such a big fire? Should Saburo fall into the water, he should quickly ask the doctor to come and see, and prescribe some anti-cold medicine."
"Doctor, what do you do? Who can stop him if he wants to die?" An Guogong looked at Ji Chongyi, who was kneeling on the ground, getting more and more angry, and pointed at him and cursed, "Little beasts really have the ability to die for a woman." To live!"
Ji Chongyi squatted his head: "Father, mother, your two elders will be your sons."
Hey, it seems to be hitting straight!
Anguo was furious: "Don't think, as long as I live, you will die for me. Honestly marry the four girls from Dongping Bofu!"
Wei Shi did not persuade him, his face was also ugly.
She hadn't looked down on Dongping Bo Mansion originally. In order to repay the life-saving grace of the Dong Ping Bo brothers, Anguo insisted to make a marriage with his family. She even had several troubles.
But no matter how bad the Dongping Bofu is, it is better than the ordinary people.
Ji Chongyi knelt upright, with a firm tone: "Father, my son only likes Qiaoniang, but doesn't like the four girls of Dongping Bofu. My son hasn't even seen her, so I can't marry her!"
"San Lang, I've inquired about it for my father. The four girls from Dongping Bofu are well-known beauties among the noble girls in Beijing." An Guogong persuaded him patiently.
"Yes, you have also looked for a chance to see your stepmother. Your father didn't coax you." Wei Shi followed.
"In the eyes of my son, Qiaoniang is the most beautiful!" Ji Chongyi raised his head and looked at An Guogong. "Father, you can get married with Dongping Bofu in order to repay your kindness. Why can't you understand your son? If there is no Qiaoniang, the son would probably be gone. "
"Shut up! In short, you can't let the marriage happen. If you don't understand it, I will order Qiaoniang out!"
"If the father drove Qiaoniang away, he should also drive away the son." Ji Chongyi simply stood up.
"You--" An Guogong shivered with anger, turned his head and shouted at the woman standing at the door, "Take someone to beat that Qiao Niang out!"
"No!" Ji Chongyi raised his foot to chase after the woman was about to go out.
Anguo yelled: "Da Lang, stop your third brother!"
Ji Chongli grabbed Ji Chongyi's arm and persuaded, "Third brother, don't make your father angry."
"Big brother, let go!" Ji Chongyi wanted to push Ji Chongli away, but couldn't help it. Seeing that the woman was about to go out, he spouted a mouthful of blood in a hurry and anger, then fell on Ji Chongli.
Wei's horror turned Huarong pale, and screamed: "Hurry up, please doctor—"
The doctor soon diagnosed and treated Ji Chongyi. He said that he was vomiting blood and coma because of anxious fire and cold energy. After that, he should take good care of him and avoid being overwhelmed.
When the doctor went out to prescribe the prescription, Wei couldn't help complaining about Anguo: "Master is so quick-tempered, isn't he going to drive Saburo to death?"
"I forced him to death? You are not used to him because he is so ignorant!" Even though An Guogong said that, thinking of Ji Chongyi vomiting blood could not help but feel a little afraid.
Wei Shi held the kerchief and wiped his tears: "What's the use of talking about these now? Don't you and Da Lang do not care about Saburo? It is serious if I want to say it, or think about what to do."
"In any case, the marriage with Dongping Bofu is not allowed to withdraw!"
"But if the master abruptly separates Saburo from Qiaoniang, Saburo might really not survive."
Seeing An Guogong sneered, Wei cried: "Master, think about it, Saburo and Qiaoniang have both died for one love, the first time there will be a second time, if Saburo really has something wrong, we regret it. It's too late."
"Then what do you say?"
Wei stopped sobbing, glanced at the inner room, and considered: "Or else, our relationship with Dongping Bofu will not change. As for Qiaoniang, let Saburo take her as a concubine."
