"Auntie, if I remember correctly, I am still the King of Jinyi Township personally appointed by the Holy Majesty."
The implication is that He Ying has no right to call her "Chu Shi". One must know that He Ying is nothing but a white body!
When He Changdi heard this, his heart tightened, and his face suddenly became unhappy. His eyes fell on his wife's delicate body, and his heart ached.
What Chu Lian exported was not the title Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, but the title Jinyi Township Lord.
Although Xiangjun is the title of the royal family's daughter, it is still a few grades behind Madam Hou's first-rank imperial order.
He Sanlang suddenly lost his sense of security, and he couldn't help thinking wildly, could it be that his wife hasn't really admitted to relying on him
The eldest aunt He Ying's face turned pale when Chu Lian said a word, and she was speechless.
Why, because according to common sense, even if He Ying is an elder, she still has to salute Chu Lian, who is a country lord.
This is like a woman who has entered the palace as a concubine, even if she goes home to visit her relatives, the elders in the family have to bow down.
Chu Lian didn't ask her aunt He Ying so much before because she respected Mrs. He, but once Mrs. He is no longer worthy of her respect, why should she give He Ying any more face
Do you really think she is a persimmon that is easy to pinch
"You! How dare you talk to me like that! I'm your elder!" He Ying said angrily, her face was distorted because of anger.
"All right!"
Finally, Old Madam He spoke.
She raised her voice, with a trace of majesty in her tone, "My third daughter-in-law, do you want me to get up and salute you as well?"
I finally tore my face, huh!
Chu Lian lowered her head slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. The corner of her mouth curled up in a mocking arc. She was not afraid of meeting Mrs. He, but she was only afraid of hurting the person who treated her sincerely.
At this moment, Mrs. He's words completely exhausted the last trace of affection from their grandparents.
That's good, she doesn't have to bear the burden of guilt and coping, and she can live wantonly and easily.
Seeing the old lady standing by her side, He Ying's distorted face just now burst into a smug smile, as dazzling as that smile was.
He Changdi clenched his fists tightly, almost exhausting the last bit of endurance, which prevented him from taking a step forward to embrace Chu Lian in his arms for protection.
Mrs. Zou also laughed secretly in her heart, Mrs. Jing'an slowly frowned, she opened her mouth, trying to dissuade her, but her mother-in-law's face was ugly, how could she add fuel to the flames at this time.
Chu Lian squatted slightly to bless her, "Daughter-in-law dare not."
Mrs. He slapped the table hard, and the teacups placed on the table were shaken with a "crash".
"Don't dare? Why don't you dare!"
Chu Lian bowed his head and stopped talking.
Mrs. He pinched the edge of the table and glanced at He Changdi, seeing him standing still, as if he didn't intend to care about this matter at all, he felt relieved.
She thought, this youngest grandson probably already had ideas about a daughter-in-law.
Because of the captivity of Chu Lian in the Northern Territory, Mrs. He and Chu Lian had a estrangement, and because of He Ying's repeated provocations, she became more and more confused as she got older, so she naturally lost her heart to Chu Lian.
Now he will not be merciful.
"Doctor Qian, tell me the truth about this, and see how I wronged her!"
Dr. Qian, who had been standing beside He Changqi, got the old lady's words, and immediately walked to the center of the flower hall, and he respectfully bowed down.
This Dr. Qian was dressed in a gray robe, with a long face and big but dull eyes, as if they were covered with a layer of fog.
"Back to the old lady, the little one has had her pulse checked three times. Ms. Miaozhen did have a miscarriage due to overdose of hawthorn."
After hearing Dr. Qian's words, Mrs. He said to Uncle Jing'an's son He Changqi again: "Da Lang, tell me!"
He Changqi looked haggard, obviously full of pity for the lost child. Although he usually looks indifferent, there are a few men who can take it easy on the fact that he has no children.
But he is much more sensible than Mrs. He.
"Reporting to grandma, although I often invite Dr. Qian personally, grandma should check carefully. My grandson thinks that this matter is not that simple."
He Ying didn't expect that this eldest nephew could say such words at such a time, she was so angry that she scolded her head and face: "Da Lang, think about what you have lost, it is your flesh and blood that is about to fall to the ground, you How dare you speak for someone else!"
He Changqi's face tightened, and after glancing at He Ying, his thick eyebrows tightened even more.
Mrs. He ignored the quarrel between the aunt and nephew, but directly asked Chu Lian, "Third daughter-in-law, what else can you say?"
He Ying's mother and daughter really couldn't help laughing. Look, what kind of mess is this Lord Jinyi and Mrs. Dingyuan Hou? Even the husband standing beside her doesn't say a word for her, it's really pitiful!
Just as Chu Lian was about to speak, a heart-piercing cry came from a woman.
"what!"
Then came the sound of chaotic footsteps and the busy voice of the servant girl.
"Child! My child!"
The female voice was hoarse, hopeless, and powerless. Chu Lian had heard it before, and it was Miaozhen's voice.
Immediately afterwards, the mother-in-law comforted her, "Miss Miaozhen, you can't keep this child anymore, it is stillborn, if you don't take it out, you will die with it."
"I don't, I don't want, my child is not dead, not dead! Please, please don't take my child..."
…
The female voice was shrill, even Chu Lian had a little more sympathy for Miaozhen, and He Changqi, the boss in the flower hall, showed a little more intolerance.
His guilty and distressed expression was caught by Zou Shi, causing Zou Shi to frown, but he felt a bit of joy in his heart.
From time to time, Miaozhen's miserable wailing came from the flower hall, and everyone's faces were sullen.
Even if Chu Lian had a way to wash away his doubts, now is not a good time to speak up.
At this moment, Miracle Doctor Miao, who had been watching a good show among the crowd, walked to the center of the flower hall with a medicine box.
He stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "What's the matter, why does the old matriarch look so sad, it's not good for longevity! Isn't it just a child? Who says it can't be saved?"
What he said was an understatement but shocked everyone!
Mrs. He and Mrs. Jing'an sat up in shock.
He stared at Miracle Doctor Miao in disbelief, as if his words were a fantasy.
"What did you say, the child can be saved?" Mrs. Jing Anbo murmured.
Before Divine Doctor Miao nodded, Dr. Qian retorted excitedly: "You old man, what nonsense are you talking about? I will personally check Miss Miaozhen's pulse. Her child is stillborn!"
"Yes! How is it possible, Miaozhen shed so much blood!" Zou couldn't help it anymore, she was terrified, if Miaozhen's child could be rescued, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain
While saying this, she kept winking at Doctor Qian.
Miracle doctor Miao took in the expressions of the people in the flower hall, and the smile in the corner of his eyes deepened even more.
"Before, you didn't want me to see it. Look, now you all believe that the child is stillborn. Anyway, the worst result is that you can't keep the child. What's the point of letting me see it? There is no worse result than this."
Miracle Doctor Miao is really a bachelor, but he is right!
They have already accepted the worst outcome. Wouldn't it be a surprise if he can keep the child
He Changqi and the others were not stupid, he immediately said, "Take Miracle Doctor Miao inside."
Immediately, a woman next to her led Miracle Doctor Miao to the inner room.
Chu Lian did not expect that at such a critical time, Miracle Doctor Miao would keep such a hand.
As Miracle Doctor Miao entered the inner room, Shi Zou and Dr. Qian began to look strange.
Everyone lost their minds to ask the teacher for their crimes. Mrs. Zou felt guilty now, how could she control Chu Lian, He Ying was alone, and it was not good to fight Chu Lian at this time, even if she wanted to, she was powerless.
Chu Lian was helped by Xi Yan to a seat at the side of the flower hall, and He Changdi sat next to her. The husband and wife looked at each other when no one else noticed.
He Changdi's eyes were deep, and the emotion in his heart couldn't be restrained, as if it was going to sweep him all over, he reached out and was about to grab Chu Lian's little hand that was on the table.
Chu Lian noticed his movement beforehand and quickly withdrew his hand away.
She shook her head slightly at him.
Now that she has reached this point, she can't fall short, some people haven't jumped out yet!
She also wanted He Changdi to understand that even without him, she could solve the matter unscathed. She is not a woman who can only rely on men for everything.
Similarly, she has high demands on her man!
They are husband and wife, not dependent, but equal existence!
He Changdi felt a little lost in his heart, empty and empty, and didn't know what was going on. At this moment, he just felt that if he didn't take good care of the relationship with Chu Lian, she could live a good life even if she was alone.
Thinking about it this way, his heart felt as if it had been pierced by thousands of steel thorns. He withdrew his hand, but clenched it tightly into a fist.
How is it possible, as long as it is what he decides, even if it is tied, he will tie her by his side, and he will not give her any chance to escape!
The people in Yihua Hall had different thoughts, and half of them were absent-mindedly waiting for the news from inside.
After half a quarter of an hour, Miaozhen's mournful wailing stopped, and the inside gradually became quiet.
After waiting another quarter of an hour, everyone became restless.
After such a period of calmness, He Changqi became more and more calm.
He is the eldest son in the family, and he has a delicate mind. After thinking for a while, he broke the calm and said: "It seems that Miracle Doctor Miao will not be able to give a result for a while. Go and rest first, I'll just stay here."
Mrs. Jing'an also felt that what the elder son said was reasonable, seeing the tired look on the old matriarch's face, it was really not suitable to stay here any longer.
He also gave advice.
In the end, everyone returned to their yards.
When Chu Lian and He Changdi left, they were still in front of each other, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the young couple was having a conflict.
When helping Mrs. He to leave, Mu Xiang's venomous eyes fell behind Chu Lian, her lip-smeared mouth slightly opened like a monster trying to eat people.
In Qingweitang, Mu Xiang served the old lady to wash and rest, came to the small study, beckoned a maid to come in, she bowed her head and said a few words in the maid's ear, the little maid in Tsing Yi nodded, turned around and left Leaving Qingyutang, disappeared into the dark night.
