Although Ruan Xi felt that the rouge incident was an accident, she still had the vigilance she should have. She sent someone to the main courtyard to talk to Mrs. Wen about it, and sent over the box of rouge that Ruan Zhen brought along.
Mrs. Wen looked at the exquisite rouge box, with a hint of hatred on her brows.
"This kind of rouge that kills people has appeared again!"
More than ten years ago, when her direct sister was born prematurely, she had a sudden blood collapse, killing two people. After a thorough investigation, it was finally found that her sister had worn this harmful rouge during pregnancy.
The collapse was no accident.
At that time, her seven-year-old son Tingzhou was beside her sister, witnessed the bloody scene, and was almost killed by the nanny's betrayal.
After that, Tingzhou had nightmares for more than two months, and became disgusted with women approaching. As long as a woman approached, his emotions would lose control and even hurt others. At that time, even her mother could not get close. When he grew up, he gradually got close to her and the old lady, but his attitude towards other women remained unchanged, using a gentle mask to cover up his inner disgust.
Even the eminent monks asserted that if there were no accidents, his son would die alone.
Mrs. Wen was in despair, especially after having a dream, she didn't dare to force her son, she just tested his feelings for a lady of the right age.
Last year, when her son suddenly agreed to be married to Ruan Xi, Mrs. Wen almost wept with joy. Even though she was not satisfied with Ruan Xi's status as a concubine, Mrs. Wen still agreed to the marriage.
Sure enough, Ruan Xi was an exception.
Broken his son's fate of being alone forever.
Mrs. Wen is very satisfied with Ruan Xi, her daughter-in-law.
However, she did not expect that the rouge that had disappeared for more than ten years appeared again.
Mother Chen's face was extremely ugly: "Ma'am, could it be this mysterious nun?"
"It should be true. You send someone to investigate the origin of this nun. This time, she must not be allowed to run away again." Mrs. Wen sneered.
"Yes, ma'am."
Mother Chen agreed, and at the end, she asked a question.
"Do you want to tell the young master about this?"
Mrs. Wen was silent for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Tell him, don't hide it!"
After Wen Tingzhou came back, he was summoned by Mrs. Wen to the main courtyard. When he left, he was like a sharp knife, with a fierce and aggressive aura.
Zhang Qing dared not take a breath.
Walking in front of the gate of Yongheju, Wen Tingzhou suddenly restrained his momentum and returned to his original gentleness.
Zhang Qing let out a sigh of relief.
Ruan Xi in the room was drinking chicken soup, feeling the naughty little guy in his stomach while drinking chicken soup.
This little guy can't wait to be born.
After Ruan Xi finished drinking the chicken soup, he gently stroked his abdomen, showing a gentle smile.
Don't look at the little guy kicking around mischievously, but he doesn't move very much.
As soon as Wen Tingzhou came in, he saw the gentle smile on Ruan Ruan's face, and his mood suddenly improved.
"Ruan Ruan, I'm back."
"You all go down!"
Wen Tingzhou pushed back Suyu Suzhu and the others, walked over to Ruan Xi and sat down.
"Wait, let Mama Yang bring in a bowl of chicken soup." Suyu cleaned up the table and was about to leave, when Ruan Xi stopped her.
Suyu backed away, and Mother Yang brought in a bowl of chicken soup after a while.
Ruan Xi handed it directly to Wen Tingzhou, seeing the bruises under his eyes, she felt very distressed.
"Tingzhou, drink some chicken soup to warm your stomach."
Recently, Mrs. Wen's health is very bad, and the imperial doctor said that the time limit has come.
Ruan Xi felt a little sad.
Wen Tingzhou was busy going back and forth with family affairs, if he wasn't a martial arts practitioner, he might not be able to hold on long ago.
"it is good."
Wen Tingzhou nodded with a smile, and drank up the chicken soup. As soon as the warm chicken soup entered his stomach, his whole body was warm, just like Ruan Ruan's smile, bright and warm, dispelling the haze that weighed on his heart.
"Ruan Ruan, is the child still kicking you?" Wen Tingzhou put down the bowl, put his big hand on Ruan Xi's protruding abdomen, and asked in a low voice.
"Well, there was another commotion today, and he quieted down as soon as you came in, probably because he was afraid that you would scold him."
Ruan Xi joked with a smile.
Ever since the little guy in her belly woke her up several times in the middle of the night, Wen Tingzhou couldn't help but 'threat' the little guy with harsh words.
Wen Tingzhou raised his eyebrows, a smile escaped from the corner of his lips, this little guy...
"Tingzhou, how is the old lady?" Ruan Xi asked with concern.
Wen Tingzhou held her soft little hand, forced a smile, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Grandmother said she would see our child born."
Seeing that now he is hanging on his breath and waiting for the child in Ruan Ruan's stomach to be born.
Wen Tingzhou was both happy and sad.
The happy thing is that my grandmother can live longer, but the sad thing is that my grandmother can't last long after all.
Ruan Xi's heart trembled, his eyes were slightly red, he held Wen Tingzhou's big warm hand, and said in a low voice: "Yes, the old lady will definitely see the birth of our child."
"Um!"
Wen Tingzhou responded lightly.
The house was silent.
…
Aunt Zhao's yard
Wen Yuwei and Aunt Zhao's mother and daughter didn't look very good.
Wen Yuwei gritted her teeth and said: "Mother, that woman Ruanxi has been carefully nesting in Yongheju. I heard that she is going to give birth in two days. What should we do with our plan? Liu Wanwan's chess piece is about to be abolished."
Speaking of this, Wen Yuwei was very angry.
Aunt Zhao's mind is relatively deep, and she is good at nourishing her energy. At this point, she can hold her breath.
"After all, he is the master's first grandson. Madam protects her tightly. Not to mention letting Mrs. Liu get close to Mrs. Ruan, we can't even get close to Mrs. Wen."
"Mother, is there really no other way?" Wen Yuwei was unwilling.
She wanted to use Liu Wanwan's hand to get rid of Ruan Xi and Liu Shi by the way, killing two birds with one stone.
Aunt Zhao looked at her daughter's anxious and impatient look, and couldn't help frowning: "Wei'er, how many times have I told you that a momentary gain or loss is nothing, even if the Ruan family gave birth to Shang Shu in peace this time? What about the eldest grandson of the mansion, whether he can grow up or not is still a question, we can shift our target to the Ruan family's children."
Aunt Zhao was able to fight Mrs. Wen for so many years and protect her two children from growing up safely. How could she be a simple person.
However, her two sons and daughters have not inherited her shrewdness. The son is mediocre and soft-hearted, and the daughter is overly proud and high-minded, but has no brains, and is always frizzy in doing things.
This time, he blatantly interfered with the two beauties sent by Concubine Mu.
When Aunt Zhao heard about it, she was so angry that she was half dead.
This brainless daughter.
When Aunt Zhao thought of the amazingly talented young master, and then looked at her children, her heart stopped for a while.
Wen Yuwei didn't know that her biological mother hated iron but not steel. When she heard what her mother said, her eyes lit up.
That's right, she couldn't stop Ruan Shi from giving birth, so it's better to focus on her child.
Liu's chess piece is very useful.
"Mother, I'll let people stimulate Liu Shi again, maybe there will be a good show at the third baptism."
Wen Yuwei said with a smile.
Aunt Zhao: "..."
…
Ruan Xi didn't know the plan of the two mother and daughter, the next morning, not long after Wen Tingzhou went to the government office, Ruan Xi activated it.
The throbbing pain came quickly and violently, and after a while, cold sweat oozed from Ruan Xi's forehead.
"Mother Yang, I seem to be giving birth."
Suyu Suzhu was taken aback.
"Ah, Miss is about to give birth, what should I do?"
"How to do?"
After all, the two of them had never experienced such a thing before, so it was inevitable that they panicked.
Mama Yang is an experienced person. She carefully looked at the situation of the young lady, and immediately ordered: "Suyu, immediately ask the women to go to the delivery room to prepare, Suzhu, you ask someone to go to the main courtyard to inform the wife, and by the way, inform the kitchen." Prepare hot water."
"Susan Suhu, you two and I will help the young lady to the delivery room together."
Mama Yang acted decisively, and asked the doctor to sit down to prepare the ginseng slices and ginseng soup for the rest of the matter, and wait for Mrs. Wen to arrive.
The delivery room was ready two months ago.
Not long after Ruan Xi was sent to the delivery room, Mrs. Wen hurried over with Mother Chen and others.
As soon as he came over, he rushed into the delivery room and walked to the bedside to hold Ruan Xi's hand.
"Xiaoxi, how do you feel now?"
Ruan Xi smiled: "Except for the pain at first, it's fine now."
Mrs. Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiaoxi, don't panic, the amniotic fluid is not broken now, it should be labor pains, I'm afraid it's too early for delivery, I'll ask someone to bring over a bowl of ginseng chicken soup later, you drink some chicken soup first, so that you can gain strength Have a baby."
Ruan Xi nodded obediently.
"Thank you mother-in-law."
Not long after Ruan Xi drank the chicken soup, labor pains broke out again, and the pain hit like a raging wave.
"Ma'am, the young lady is about to give birth, and the delivery room is full of blood, please go out and wait."
Seeing this, a stable woman hurriedly said.
Mrs. Wen wanted to stay, but she thought it was against the rules, so she just retreated.
"Ruan Ruan, don't panic, I'm right outside the door."
Ruan Xi was sweating coldly, enduring the severe pain and nodding to Mrs. Wen.
Mrs. Wen and Yongheju's movements were not deliberately concealed, and soon the entire Shangshu Mansion knew that Mrs. Young had launched a campaign.
The news spread quickly.
The old lady and Mrs. Lin of Chengyibo's Mansion soon learned the good news.
Not long after Wen Tingzhou came to court, his eyelids were twitching, and he felt inexplicably panicked, but he couldn't explain the reason, so he could only hold back and listened absently to the courtiers talking about using cement to build flood dams.
After finally making it to the next court, Wen Tingzhou saw Zhang Qing anxiously waiting outside as soon as he left the palace.
Seeing the young master coming out, Zhang Qing immediately ran over to report.
"Master, the Young Madam has activated."
As soon as the words came out, all the courtiers in twos and threes around heard them, including Uncle Chengyi, Shangshu Wen, Duke An and others.
"Siniang is going to give birth?"
Uncle Chengyi almost didn't pull out the short beard on his face, his face was full of joy.
The surrounding ministers who did not leave congratulated Wen Shangshu and others.
Wen Tingzhou got on his horse as soon as he heard Zhang Qing's report, and galloped back to the house until the delivery room.
"Mother, how is Ruan Ruan?"
"The doctor said that Xiaoxi is in good condition. Don't worry, Tingzhou. Xiaoxi is a lucky one. She will give birth safely." Mrs. Wen said firmly.
Wen Tingzhou's heart calmed down a little, and he listened intently to the movements in the delivery room. He could vaguely hear Ruan Ruan's soft cry of pain, his heart suddenly clenched into a ball, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
His eyes were fixed on the door of the delivery room.
As time passed, the maid brought out pots of bloody water from the delivery room...
Wen Tingzhou's eyes were gradually stained with a tinge of scarlet, and the scene of his seven-year-old little aunt lying in a pool of blood with a big belly was uncontrollably reappearing in front of her eyes, she finally lost her breath and remained motionless...
Suddenly, my aunt's face suddenly changed into that of Ruan Xi...
"No, Ruan Ruan!"
Wen Tingzhou suddenly went crazy and kicked open the door of the delivery room and rushed in.
Everyone was startled, and Mrs. Wen was so shocked that she almost didn't come up.
Just as he was about to send someone to stop the troublesome son, there was finally movement in the delivery room.
A loud cry came out!
"Wow… "
