第七十九章忠顺府小人献奸计．病榻前二宝定(4/9)

                                                                                                                                                            龙颜大怒，遂亲点钦差查办，果如那折子上所说。遂又从新提审薛蟠，直判了斩监侯。
                                                                                                                                                                那州府府衙一并人等都从重发落，不在话下。薛姨妈一听斩监侯三个字，立时昏死了过去。
                                                                                                                                                                宝钗忙带着几个婆子救醒，薛姨妈这才嚎啕大哭起来：“我苦命的儿，我这是上辈子造了什么孽？含辛茹苦将你抚养长大，如今却要白发人送黑发人……”口中只说要收拾了东西去看薛蟠，母子死在一处也就罢了。宝钗只得软语安慰，一面说一面却自己都已泣不成声。
                                                                                                                                                                早有下人去荣府里报信，不一时，王夫人带着宝玉也来了。姐妹二人见了，薛姨妈更是伤心。
                                                                                                                                                                王夫人只得安慰道：“姐姐不必过度伤怀，儿孙自有他们的命在，如今落得这个下场也是命数，姐姐切莫要哭坏了自己的身子要紧。”“呜呜，我就只这一个儿子，虽是有些不孝，毕竟是我亲生骨肉，如今就要先我而去……我情愿我赔上自己的一条老命去换回蟠儿……”说罢薛姨妈又痛哭起来。王夫人也不由得跟着落泪，却也无法，只得嘱咐下人好生照料，又坐了一会子方去了。
                                                                                                                                                                宝钗一面照料薛姨妈，一面四处求人去疏通。哪知这个案子是皇上亲批的，又有了那州官前车之鉴，竟是没有人敢再受理，宝钗也是无法，只得如实告诉了薛姨妈。
                                                                                                                                                                那薛姨妈更是每日茶米不思，夜夜泣血，不几日便一病不起，又犯了旧日心痛的旧疾。宝钗唬得忙请太医珍视开药。
                                                                                                                                                                哪知非但不好，薛姨妈的精神头竟是一日不如一日，不几天，竟是流露出那下世的光景来。这一日，宝钗端了熬好的汤药一口口的喂给薛姨妈。
