"How's it going?" Qiu Yilan didn't even have time to change her clothes and hurried to Shengshishui. Before the doctor came, a group of women and maids gathered in the corridor, at a loss. The first few concubines in gorgeous clothes had complicated expressions. She stood there talking in a low voice - she had no intention of understanding this, so she went straight in and saw Sheng Shishui lying on the couch with a frown and two dowry maids nervously waiting beside her, so she hurried forward to ask.
"Nineteen brothers and sisters are here?" Sheng Shishui was about to get up.
Without saying a word, Qiu Yilan reached out and held him down: "Lie down, lie down! Don't move now... How are you now?" Without waiting for Sheng Shishui to answer, she pressed again, "Where's the doctor? Have you invited me? When will he be here?"
"Don't worry!" Sheng Shishui chuckled, his brows stretched a little, and he held her hand and said, "The doctor has been sent for. He will be here in a while."
"What about the rose cake?" Qiu Yilan looked at her face carefully and felt that it did not look like a big problem. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
Sheng Shishui raised the corner of his mouth and raised his chin: "There is still a little bit left there, let's wait for the doctor to come and take a look."
"Is it...?" Qiu Yilan didn't know much about medicines. Hearing this, he looked at the rose cake with a small bite on the plate. He couldn't see anything wrong. His eyes turned to Sheng Sishui's belly, and he implicitly asked.
"I don't know. It just tasted a little different from the usual when I took it in my mouth." Sheng Shishui pursed his lips, "Then I put it down... After a while, I felt a little flustered and breathless."
Just as he said this, there was a noise outside, followed by several people shouting: "The doctor is here! The doctor is here!"
"The young lady is inside, doctor, please go and have a look!"
"Doctor, please! You must save my young lady..."
Xia Ran looked at the gloomy expressions on both her sister-in-law's and sister-in-law's faces at the same time. He hurriedly pulled the sleeves of the maid Sheng Guishui and whispered: "It's too noisy outside. Why don't you go out and beat me? Don't disturb your young lady!" "
I don’t know whether those people intentionally or unintentionally actually openly begged the doctor to save their lives... Isn’t this a roundabout way of casting a curse on them to kill them sooner
The eldest maid looked at Sheng Si Shui with a dull look, and the latter forced a smile and said: "Forget it!"
Seeing this, Qiu Yilan raised her eyebrows: "I'll go take a look!"
She walked out of the room quickly and saw an old man with a white head leading a young boy slowly walking up the corridor - seeing Qiu Yilan dressed luxuriously, the old man and the boy hurriedly saluted.
"Sister-in-law Sixteen is inside, doctor, please come in!" Qiu Yilan opened the door cheerfully and let them in, but she stood outside the door, looking at the people who were still chattering in the court one by one with a half-smile.
After being watched by her, these people gradually became quiet.
After a while, Qiu Yilan still had no intention of looking away and returning to the room. The courtyard was silent for a while, and even the noisy chirping of cicadas at this time of year seemed to be much quieter.
"Sixteenth sister-in-law is only pregnant. I know that you care about her. It is a good intention. However, there are so many people crowded here that we can hardly hear each other when we are talking to each other inside." Qiu Yilan saw them shrinking gradually, but she did not act like them. Instead of being scolded harshly as he imagined, he said kindly, "So my sister-in-law said, let you go."
"...Yes!" Everyone responded cautiously. Seeing that Qiu Yilan really didn't mean to continue to embarrass herself, they breathed a sigh of relief, saluted her, and slipped away one after another - can they not be afraid? No matter how nice this person is, even my sister-in-law was beaten directly before! After the fight, nothing happened! What's more, servants like them
Qiu Yilan watched them leave and then returned to the room. The doctor happened to have finished the diagnosis and was writing prescriptions on the case by the window.
The room was very quiet, so quiet that the atmosphere was almost stagnant.
One look at this scene shows that something is not trivial.
Qiu Yilan thought for a moment and did not disturb the doctor. Instead, she walked over and asked Sheng Shishui softly: "Sister-in-law Sixteen, what did the doctor say?"
Sheng Shishui's face was very ugly: "I'm afraid I have to ask you to tell your grandmother..."
She took a deep breath, subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, her voice trembled slightly, "The doctor said that the rose cake contains heartbroken grass powder, which can kill people. Fortunately, it's not much, and I didn't eat it all. It's life-threatening." It should be worry-free... But I don't know about the child..." At this point, Rao, who had always been calm, could not help but shed tears in her eyes!
Qiu Yilan was so depressed that she couldn't even describe it! Although I had considered this outcome before I came here, when I heard the fact with my own ears, I still felt that there were three sisters-in-law in the four rooms, and less than a month after I entered the house, something happened to both of them! She could already imagine that within a day or two, rumors would definitely arise about her being in bad shape and having frequent troubles at her husband's house after she passed away!
"Fortunately, there are no concubines in Nineteenth. Otherwise, after seeing the example of Eighth Sister-in-law and Sixteenth Sister-in-law, I might not be able to bear it and kill them all just to be safe!" She resisted the urge to vomit blood and comforted her with a livid face. Sheng Si Shui waited for the doctor to prescribe the prescription and asked again. Finally, he asked for a copy of the pulse report, said goodbye to Sheng Si Shui, and rushed to see Mrs. Tao.
... I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to meet with Mrs. Tao for a while. After all, Jiang Yazhu's status is far inferior to Jiang Yadan, and Sheng Shishui's situation is not very critical at this time; and the Tao family has already arrived, and Jiang Yadan and his wife are even in the room. Xiadu was waiting for the interrogation in front of the old lady - but unexpectedly, after Qiu Yilan passed by, the servants passed the message and immediately came out and told her to go to the flower hall next to the old lady and wait for the old lady: "The old lady will come after a sip of tea. "
She was surprised and asked in a low voice: "How is the eighth sister-in-law's situation?"
"That screwdriver was talking nonsense, and the old lady was so angry!" The maid knew that Mrs. Tao was close to her, so she whispered, "Now I heard that the sixteenth young lady was almost killed, so she just left her there. I’m coming over to ask you!”
While talking, Mrs. Tao had already entered the door supported by Mother Hu.
"Grandma!" Qiu Yilan hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Sit down, let's talk carefully, how are you doing with your sixteenth daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Tao's face was as heavy as water. She walked up to sit down like a gust of wind, pointed to the seat below, and said coldly.
Qiu Yilan saw that she was really angry. She pursed her lips and told what happened, emphasizing the noise made by Concubine Ji's servants when the doctor arrived, and the words that seemed to care about Sheng Shishui but were actually curses. : "... In short, Sister-in-law Sixteen is very scared now, lest something bad happens to the child... The doctor doesn't dare to give an accurate answer. Sister-in-law Sixteen asked her grandson-in-law to come over quickly and tell her grandmother, asking her to make the decision!"
"Bah!" Mrs. Tao took a few pictures and directly ordered Hu's mother: "Go and call the people in Room 16, as well as the steward... over here!"
Originally, the old lady was in a bad mood, and to have such a thing happen in Jiangya Zhu's room was just a punching bag for her!
Therefore, after the people in Jiangya's Zhufang were brought over, the old lady didn't even ask any questions. She directly ordered everyone to be whipped first. After beating everyone to pieces, she selected two concubines and a steward to come for interrogation. .
Since Jiang Yazhu's status in the Jiang family was not high to begin with, and the old lady gave him enough power, the interrogation went particularly smoothly. In just half an hour, the whole story became clear: the concubine Yanniang, who was born in the first wife's house, was also pregnant. When she was about to tell her, her mistress was also pregnant. In order to compete for favor and attention, Yanniang took advantage of her aunt's presence. When I was waiting in the kitchen, I took the opportunity to talk to my aunt, and secretly sprinkled the fenugreek powder into the condiments for the rose cake I was going to make with the water!
"Drag this beautiful girl out into the river." After hearing the confession, Mrs. Tao said with a gloomy face, "Everyone related to her, regardless of whether they are involved in this matter or not, will be sent away! Also, Xiaoliu is back If he comes back, please call him!"
Mother Hu coughed and said: "Old madam, Yan Niang... is still pregnant with the sixteenth son..."
"Isn't the sixteenth daughter-in-law also a twin?" Mrs. Tao sneered. "It can be seen that the sixteenth couple have a very good fate for having children. How can we be so embarrassed to have a concubine?! Let her die today! As a warning. Follow your example!”
Mother Hu immediately stopped talking.
"Get something and go see the sixteenth daughter-in-law for me." The old lady looked bored and sighed, "Tell the nineteenth daughter-in-law what happened and ask her to help the sixteenth daughter-in-law clean the backyard! Don’t let this kind of messy thing happen again, and let all the good wives live on thin ice!”
After saying the last sentence, the old lady cast a gloomy glance towards the main hall!
Mother Hu took the order to Sheng Shishui's yard and conveyed Mrs. Tao's comfort and resolution. Due to her background, Sheng Shishui had always been the most judgmental person. After hearing this, of course she was filled with gratitude... But after she finished her gratitude, her expression became hesitant.
Seeing this, Mother Hu hurriedly asked: "What difficulty does Young Madam Sixteen have? Just say it! When the old slave came, the old lady warned you that you have been greatly wronged this time, but if you have any ideas, please don't restrain yourself. Anything that can be done will be done for you!”
Seeing the way Sheng Shishui was hesitant to speak, Qiu Yilan, who had just told Mrs. Tao what had happened and then went back to accompany her, was a little surprised: Mrs. Tao's treatment this time was very partial to the sixteenth sister-in-law. Not only was she given the opportunity to thoroughly clean up the entire backyard, but she was also given the opportunity to remove the child in her belly. Under such circumstances, it seemed uninteresting to make further demands.
How could Shengshi Shui make such a mistake
Sure enough, after Sheng Si Shui Qi Qi Ai Ai opened her mouth, what she said was: "Grandma loves me so much, how can I have any grievances? Just... Although Yan Niang acts viciously, the child in her belly is always the blood of her husband. I think ... Do you want to keep this child?"
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard this. The dowry maid Sheng Shishui was even so angry that she blurted out "Young Madam" and stopped silently after being glared at.
After a brief silence, Sheng Shishui's eyes gradually turned red again. She tried hard to hold back her tears and whispered: "I just thought that I don't know whether the child in my belly will be good or bad in the future. What if... what if? … Yanniang and the kids can support each other, right?”
Qiu Yilan looked at her sister-in-law, who was in full Madonna mode, with a hint of amusement in her eyes. She thought about it for a moment, but she said nothing.
Mother Hu pondered for a while and then said: "Since the Sixteenth Young Madam said so, I will go and report it to the old lady... However, the old lady is very angry about this matter, and it is hard to say whether it is accurate. After all, After all, Yan Niang is just a concubine, and she did such a thing. She has children of both genders, how can she compare with your child? "
... After Hu's mother left, Sheng Sishui stretched out his hand to rub his face and smiled tiredly at Qiu Yilan: "Let my younger siblings laugh."
"Sister-in-law Sixteen, what are you talking about? This gorgeous girl is really lucky. She deserves a mistress like you." Qiu Yilan smiled and stood up, "It's getting late, I have to go back to cook... Sister-in-law is thinking today. What to eat?”
"You've been with me all day today, and you even ran errands for me to my grandmother's house. Why do you have the nerve to work for you again? Just ask Mother Li to cook some dishes. I won't choose." Sheng Shishui said hurriedly. .
Qiu Yilan said, "Don't be polite. Anyway, I want to cook for Nineteen. I'll just make a few dishes for you."
Sheng Shishui couldn't refuse, so he ordered a few side dishes that were easy to prepare. Qiu Yilan took note of them and left. As soon as he returned to his yard, Su He couldn't help but asked: "Young Madam, why are you, Young Master Sixteen?" Madam wants to keep Yan Niang’s child? What if the child grows up to hold a grudge? "
