The Xie family doesn't have many heirs, and Xie Ruzhuo is a motherless woman. Coupled with the master's prophecy in the early years, the old lady has always been very protective of her. Although Xie Ruzhuo has been a bit shameful in the past two years, she is still a child. The old lady scolded her on the surface, but she still preferred her granddaughter in her heart.
After hearing the old lady's decision, Mrs. Qiao said, "Mom is still fair." After saying that, he helped her sit down and said, "I will take care of Zhuo'er here. That skinny monkey from Yong'an will definitely come over to harass you later." You."
When Xie Huailin was mentioned, the old lady's face became a little better. She responded and said, "Zhuo'er, go and watch. The doctor will come out later. Come and let me know."
After seeing the old lady off, Mr. Qiao looked at the two girls kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up, why don't you go inside and take care of your young lady?"
Hongrui and Qianbi hurriedly agreed, thanked them, and entered the back room.
Xie Ruzhuo's wound really burst open, and due to the water immersion and infection in the morning, the wound looked particularly oozing. After the female doctor in the house cleaned the wound, she applied the medicine with the help of the maid. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Follow this prescription three times a day. Remember not to get it wet."
The two girls responded, and then the female doctor went out. Seeing Mr. Qiao waiting outside, he bowed again.
Qiao frowned and asked, "How is Fourth Miss's injury?"
The female doctor comforted her, "Don't worry, madam. The fourth lady is just infected by the wound, and she was soaked in water in the morning, so she is a little comatose. Take more care of her in the past two days, drink a few doses of medicine and she will be fine."
After hearing this, Mrs. Qiao felt relieved. Although Xie Ruzhuo was not her biological child, she still called herself mother. Mrs. Qiao thought she was not a bad person, and she felt sorry for her stepdaughter who had lost her mother since she was a child. No matter what she said in normal times, now that she was hurt, Ms. Qiao felt a little uncomfortable.
Knowing that she was fine now, Mrs. Qiao thought of Fu Qian'er again, sighed, and walked towards Chunnuan Pavilion. The old lady can issue a ban, but as the mistress of the house, Mrs. Qiao must take care of everything. Otherwise, if it fell into the ears of outsiders, it might be a drama about the mistress mistreating the concubine.
When Mrs. Qiao arrived at Chun Nuan Pavilion, Fu Qian'er had just woken up. She opened her eyes and looked around. She breathed a sigh of relief when she recognized that the cyan tent belonged to her room.
After hearing the almost inaudible word "water", Chunfang quickly came to her senses, walked to the bed, and asked softly, "Auntie, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Fu Qian'er felt like her whole body was falling apart and the pain was unbearable. Listening to Chunfang's question, she closed her eyes and remembered the previous scene. She immediately grabbed her hand and said with a trembling voice, "Where is Xie Ruzhuo?"
Xie Ruzhuo's words were still ringing in her ears. She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, only to find that there was pain there as well.
Chunfang was her confidant, so she naturally knew what she was confirming, and said softly, "The doctor hasn't come yet, and when I changed your clothes just now, I didn't notice Luo Hong. You can rest assured, my aunt, that the child is still there."
Hearing this, Fu Qian'er breathed a sigh of relief, but she had a vague premonition in her heart.
She tried hard to suppress this emotion and whispered, "If the doctor comes for consultation, remember to give her the nine-turn phoenix feather hairpin in my box, and then tell her..."
Fu Qian'er's voice was inaudible, but Chunfang listened to every word. At the end, Chunfang nodded solemnly, "I understand."
The master and servant were muttering to each other when they suddenly heard Bizhi's voice outside, "Why is there no one guarding my aunt?"
Fu Qian'er's originally upright body immediately lay back down, and Chunfang also pretended to be covering her up with a quilt.
As soon as Mrs. Qiao entered the room, she smelled a strong incense that made her nose feel uncomfortable. She glanced at Fu Qian'er, who was weak on the bed, and then ordered, "Since I feel uncomfortable, there should be more ventilation in the room. Don't you think it's stuffy if you close the windows?"
Fu Qian'er thought she was here to comfort herself, so she just sighed and said, "I don't feel uncomfortable. The Fourth Miss is right. She is the master and I am the slave. Even if she stabbed me with a knife, I would have to suffer. What's more?" Just push me into the water?"
As she said that, Fu Qian'er coughed a few more times.
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she immediately felt unhappy, "What Aunt Fu said is strange. In front of everyone, you tripped the fourth lady with your foot and caused her to fall into the water. Why are you raking her down again now?"
Fu Qian'er was stunned, what does it mean to be in full view? No one can see me from that angle!
"Heh, it seems that the fourth lady's ability to confuse right and wrong has grown. That's all. After all, she is the master, so whatever she says will be whatever she says." Fu Qian'er reacted quickly and thought of her words in an instant. Anyway, Xie Ruzhuo usually has a unruly and willful image. If he says so, someone in the house will definitely believe it.
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Qiao hesitated a little. Although two girls, Qianbi and Hongrui, said that Fu Qianer tripped over Xie Ruzhuo, she also knew what kind of temper Xie Ruzhuo had on weekdays.
It's just that Fu Qian'er is not a good person. If she hadn't instigated this matter, it would never have developed like this!
Therefore, Mrs. Qiao only said, "Since Aunt Fu knows that she is a slave, she should do her duty as a slave and don't let others find fault. The Xie family will not treat an aunt badly, but they will not tolerate a bully." Slaves of the Lord!”
After saying this, Fu Qian'er's face turned blue and white, and her lips turned red from being bitten.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Qiao felt happy in her heart, and continued, "Although the old lady told you to kneel in the ancestral hall after you wake up, I think you don't look good now, so just wait until tomorrow to kneel in the ancestral hall again. As for today, you should reflect on it in the room first and see where you went wrong."
After saying that, she no longer looked at Fu Qian'er, held Bizhi's hand and walked out. The incense in this room was so overwhelming that she couldn't bear it any longer.
As soon as Ms. Qiao went out, Fu Qian'er grabbed Chunfang's hand and said in a trembling voice, "What did she just say?" Grounded, closed in the ancestral hall? Why!
It was obviously Xie Ruzhuo who dragged her into the water, so why in the end, he was the one who was punished, but Xie Ruzhuo was fine!
Chunfang was in pain from being caught by her, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only bear the pain and comfort her, "Auntie, the Fourth Miss is in the limelight right now, let's just bear with it. After all, a good man will not suffer the consequences of his immediate loss!" When Fu Qian'er provoked Xie Ruzhuo in the morning , she felt it was inappropriate. When the old lady sent someone to deliver the message, Fu Qian'er was still unconscious. She just woke up and caught up with Mrs. Qiao. Chunfang has been holding back what she said in her heart until now.
"Endure it? Why!" A cold light gradually flashed in Fu Qian'er's eyes, "Even if I, Fu Qian'er, are just a concubine, I am still her elder. I don't believe it. She is so arrogant, even the master doesn't care about her! Chunfang, go and give it to me. Let's see if the master comes back next time. If he does, please come to my room!"
Chunfang looked at Fu Qian'er, who was overwhelmed with anger, and was a little frightened, but her face could only comfort her, "Auntie, calm down first."
She didn't say a word, but suddenly she saw Fu Qian'er's eyes widening, her hands suddenly clenched Chunfang's hand, and she gasped, "Chunfang, it hurts!"
Chunfang was startled by her appearance, and a bad thought suddenly came to her mind. She hurriedly opened the quilt and saw that the mattress was soaked with blood!
After Xie Shenyan came back from the next court, before he had time to rest, he saw a maid crying and reporting, "Master, please go and have a look, my aunt has had a miscarriage!"
Xie Shenyan was stunned for a moment, then recognized that this was the maid next to Fu Qian'er, and immediately walked hurriedly towards Chun Nuan Pavilion.
The bead curtain inside was shaking, and through a curtain, it could be seen that the footsteps inside had not stopped, and the figures were confused.
As soon as Fang entered the room, he could smell the blood inside.
Seeing Xie Shenyan, the old lady suddenly looked unhappy and said, "Who invited you here? This house is unlucky. Get out quickly."
Xie Shenyan didn't care about anything else and asked hurriedly, "Mom, what's going on?" As he said this, he looked at Mrs. Qiao beside him.
Before Mrs. Qiao could speak, she heard a shrill female voice from inside, "My child!"
The woman's voice was filled with reluctance and misery, making people's hearts tremble.
The old lady stood up first and said, "Gag her mouth. Isn't that embarrassing enough?" Then she said to Xie Shenyan, "This house is unlucky. You should go and stay outside first."
Mr. Qiao winked at him, and Xie Shenyan nodded and said, "Okay." After saying that, he glanced at the room with some worry and walked out.
Mr. Qiao saluted and followed him out.
"What's going on?" Xie Shenyan asked as soon as he went out. The female voice in the room was still sobbing, which made Xie Shenyan feel a little distressed, but even more upset.
There were a lot of things going on in the court, but I didn't expect to hear the news as soon as I got home.
"In the morning, Aunt Fu pushed the fourth girl into the water, and she also fell in. The fourth girl is now unconscious. I just came to see Aunt Fu. She was fine, but I didn't expect that at this moment I heard that She was bleeding heavily and said she had a miscarriage.”
Mrs. Qiao's words were true. The old lady was furious in the morning and did not send the doctor to her yard. Mrs. Qiao was worried and even came to see Fu Qian'er and left when she saw that she was fine. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, someone would come to report that Fu Qian'er had had a miscarriage! She was simply shocked when she heard the news. I had never heard of her being pregnant, so how could she have a miscarriage? But she didn't think too deeply about it. After being notified to the old lady, she came here.
Hearing this, Xie Shenyan frowned, but he was concerned about another thing, "You said she pushed Zhuo'er into the water?"
Mrs. Qiao was stunned, "That's what the maid said. It is said that it was because Aunt Fu had a dispute with the Fourth Miss's maid. The Fourth Miss vented her anger on the maid's behalf, and the two quarreled. Later, for some unknown reason, Aunt Fu suddenly stretched out her foot and tripped Si. Miss, because they were too close to the lake, they both fell in."
Qiao's words seemed impersonal, but in fact they pushed Fu Qian'er back into a deeper pit.
After all, between a teenage girl and a woman in her thirties, no matter who is right or wrong, Li'er will always stand on the side of the child.
After hearing this, Xie Shenyan looked back at the room where whimpering sounds could be heard from time to time, unable to bring out any trace of pity. He said coldly, "It's your own fault and you won't survive."
After saying that, Xie Shenyan raised his feet and walked outside.
"Master, you have to make the decision for me!"
Just as Xie Shenyan was about to leave, he heard a woman crying from behind, and then saw Fu Qian'er running out with disheveled hair. When she approached Xie Shenyan, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
She stretched out her hand and grabbed Xie Shenyan's robe. Regardless of the bleeding underneath, she raised her head and cried heartbrokenly, "Master, my child is gone. He was killed!"
Fu Qian'er is not stupid. Since Xie Ruzhuo can say that, then this matter must have something to do with her! The bone-shattering pain caused by the loss of her child made Fu Qian'er almost lose her mind. She clutched Xie Shenyan's clothes tightly and looked at this aloof man expectantly.
