Xu Yaner vomited.

She not only vomited, but also wanted to spit out her intestines. The maids beside her were busy serving her.

Soon, there was a sour smell in the room. Mrs. Yao looked very unhappy and glanced at the nanny next to her.

Grandma understood and stepped forward to help. The old lady came in from outside and helped clean up the filth on the floor. Xu Yan'er didn't know what was going on. The spittoon was obviously handed to her mouth, but she still vomited on the floor.

Seeing this, Mr. Yao's eyes became even darker, "If you can't spit into the spittoon, bring me the bucket!"

Hearing this, Xu Yan'er became obedient and spit into the spittoon. But in fact, she had nothing to spit out after such a long time, and her face turned pale. The maid next to her hurriedly brought water to rinse her mouth, and the grandma who handed her the water was full of joy, "

Madam, this must be a blessing, right?"

Xu Yaner, who was feeling quite uncomfortable at first, suddenly lit up her eyes, "Really?"

Grandma smiled and nodded, "You haven't thought about food or food in the past few days, and now you are vomiting again. It is indeed a symptom of happiness."

While talking, he secretly glanced at Yao from the corner of his eye.

Mrs. Yao told the woman at the door, "Go and ask for the doctor."

There was a doctor in the mansion, and he came quickly. After entering, he asked him to greet him. Yao asked him to show Xu Yan'er, and then he went over and knelt down to take his pulse.

Xu Yaner's face was full of joy, and she was stroking her lower abdomen with one hand, and there were even tears in the corners of her eyes.

"The weather is cold. Madam may have caught a cold at night, and her spleen and stomach are weak, so she will feel nauseated and vomited." The doctor took back his hand, "I will prepare some medicine, and Madam will be fine after drinking it."

Not pregnant!

The grandma who said she was pregnant earlier changed her expression and knelt down meekly, "Madam, I only said that your symptoms are like..."

"Are you sure?" Xu Yan'er looked at the doctor with a bad expression, her eyes were quite meaningful.

The doctor looked at her inexplicably and said, "I'm sure. Madam does not have a happy pulse." He then advised, "The issue of heirs sometimes depends on fate."

Xu Yan'er lowered her eyes and hid the look in her eyes, "Thank you, doctor. Could you please help me prescribe the medicine?"

After the doctor left, Xu Yan'er first apologized and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law just couldn't bear it anymore. It's really rude. Please forgive me, mother."

"Since you're sick, just stay in the yard and recuperate. You don't have to come tomorrow." Yao said calmly.

Hearing this, Xu Yaner's face lit up. She really didn't expect such a good thing. She was particularly tired of coming to serve Yao. Every time she felt it was an insult to herself. It would be better if she didn't come. She also thought about what would happen if she got pregnant.

None of them are used?

With these thoughts in mind, I thanked him again and stood up to say goodbye.

After she left, Mrs. Yao frowned and told the person waiting beside her, "Open the window for ventilation."

The weather is too cold now. The house is usually ventilated in the morning and evening, and a brazier is usually lit. The smell in the house is really bad now. She looked at Chu Yunli and said, "You should go back too." Finally, she asked.

He said, "Heirs still need to hold on tight."

Chu Yunli agreed. After going out, the maid next to her whispered, "It's not like Madam can give birth to a child by herself. The Duke's Madam's instructions are a bit unreasonable."

This maid was chosen by Chu Yunli from Mrs. Ya. She usually uses it quite smoothly and doesn't talk much. After saying this, Chu Yunli glanced at her and saw her quickly lowering her head, "Master, how can you allow you to talk about it?"

?”

The maid lowered her head and said hurriedly, "I know I was wrong."

Chu Yunli looked at Grandma on the side. She was originally from Shao'an Yuan. "Can you please help me call Ya Po? This girl has such a bad mouth, I don't want her anymore."

The maid was shocked. She really didn't expect that it was just a sentence. If she didn't like to hear it, just a few words of reprimand or a punishment would be enough. Why should she be betrayed?

It is difficult for this girl who has been sold out to find a suitable master again, especially now that she is the girl serving closely to Mrs. Li Guogong. If nothing goes wrong, she will be stable in this life. She kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Madam,

This slave talks too much, please punish me."

She knelt on the ground. After Chu Yunli ordered her mama, she walked away. The maid took a few steps on her knees to catch up, but was stopped by her mama. After a while, the rough lady in the garden had noticed the movement here.

Grandma waved them over to help drag them.

When the maid saw that her plea was in vain, the mother-in-law couldn't help but pull her to leave, and hurriedly shouted, "Madam, I have something to say. The reason why I say those words is because someone instigated me."

Chu Yunli paused and turned around, and the maid hurriedly said, "It's the Second Young Madam. She asked her slave to sow discord between you and the Duke's wife."

Oh, I didn't expect that she had some ideas. Chu Yunli asked again, "How much money did I give you?"

The maid's eyes avoided hers, "I didn't dare to deceive Madam, so I gave her two thousand taels of silver notes and put them in my pillow."

It's excusable. With two thousand taels of silver, if this girl leaves the house, she can buy a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city. If she saves money, she can also buy two servants to serve her. Only Xu Yan'er, a charming girl who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, can be forgiven.

A charming girl can give so much money to a girl.

From Xu Yaner's donation of money, it can be seen that to her, the money is just numbers of different sizes on the banknote. She basically has no understanding of the amount of money and its uses.

"Go away." Chu Yunli said softly, "I won't sell you any more."

The maid looked confused. She had been following the rules of serving others since she was in elementary school. She was as helpless as duckweed. If she was asked to go out like this, what was she going to do? What did she do for a living?

The mother-in-law quickly dragged the person away, and Chu Yunli returned to the room. Not long after, the mother-in-law came in with a small box. There was a two thousand tael of silver notes in it, and some scattered silver. She looked young and old.

Xu Yaner kept pushing hard in this direction. She picked up the banknote and planned to use it to buy grain to make porridge in the porridge shed.

"Keep an eye on her." Chu Yunli ordered in a deep voice.

Then, she went back to take a nap. When she got up, she heard her mother-in-law whisper, "First, the girl next to the second young lady went back to the uncle's house, and then the uncle came to the house with the doctor."

Is this because you don’t trust the officials in the government?

It seems that she still feels that she is pregnant, and she really doesn't hide it at all. With her temperament, let alone Yao's mother-in-law, even if Aunt Yue, her own mother-in-law, is replaced as the head of the family, she will probably be unhappy.

As soon as the doctor in the mansion checked her pulse, she went to the doctor outside. All the servants in the mansion were watching. Needless to say, everyone knew that the second young lady in the mansion did not believe the Duke's wife.

No matter how much Yao didn't like their husband and wife, he probably wouldn't interfere with their children. If she really couldn't tolerate it, Qin Qiyi wouldn't be able to grow up to marry and have children.

Later, I got news that before Mrs. Bo left, she went to the main hospital to apologize. It was very different from the situation when she came in and wanted to hold people accountable. Xu Yaner was indeed not pregnant.

It's just because she has been a picky eater since she was a child, and recently she has no money to ask the kitchen to prepare special meals for her. The food does not suit her appetite, so she eats less, resulting in a weak spleen and stomach.

Two days later, another news came from there. Qin Qiyi had an errand. He went to the Ministry of War to work as a bookkeeper. To put it simply, he was responsible for keeping accounts. Not to mention the Yao family, even Duke Li Guo was responsible for this matter.

unknown.

Qin Qiyi had been tutored by his husband since he was a child, and he was awarded the title of scholar the year before last. The Duke of Yaoli wanted him to take part in the provincial examination, and then the general examination, and then gradually become an official through the imperial examination. In recent years, the current emperor especially likes to promote children from poor families, although he has not taken it back

Although he had the appearance of a title, the children of each family were suppressed. There were not one or two cases where the noble children were suppressed by the poor children. Duke Li Guo saw the signs, but his son was disobedient. After knowing that he had an errand,

, and also asked him to go to the study room.

"I don't want to listen. He said it cost 70,000 taels of silver." Qin Shao sat in front of the bed and took off his shoes. "He also said that this matter had nothing to do with the Duke's palace. It was obtained through his wife's dowry. He can't let down his wife and the palace.

expectations.”

Having said this, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled sarcastically, "The second young master of the dignified Duke's mansion spent 70,000 taels to beg a low-ranking master to show him what he is capable of."

"Don't worry about it, I will keep an eye on it. I won't let them reach out to us again." Qin Shao touched her face, "If I reach out again, I'll chop it up!"

After saying that, he got up and went into the small room to wash up.

Chu Yunli leaned on the bed and was thoughtful. No wonder Xu Yaner didn't ask the kitchen to cook food for her. Her dowry may not be a hundred thousand taels. It would be basically gone after such use.

A few days later, Qin Shao had two sets of gold hairpins sent back. Yao's set was thick and dignified, while Chu Yunli's set was more playful, exquisitely made, made of solid materials, and looked glittering. "It's pretty good."

Yao was very satisfied. Qin Shao had not bought her any jewelry for so many years, and now he was taking advantage of his daughter-in-law. However, he did not forget her mother when buying jewelry for his daughter-in-law. He was really thoughtful.

It happened to be afternoon, and Xu Yan'er had just finished lunch. Xu Yan'er hadn't left yet. Looking at the jewelry in the exquisite box, Xu Yan'er lowered her eyes and suddenly remembered that it had been nearly three months since she got married. It was almost the New Year, and she still had it.

She didn't add any clothes or jewelry. At this time in previous years, her mother had already prepared New Year clothes for her.

And the gifts sent by Qin Qiyi... After thinking about it hard, it seems that they are all flowers in the garden. Looking back again, there is really nothing else.

A thought came into his mind, Qin Qiyi married her just for the money, right?

Thinking about it carefully, she tried hard to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in her mind, but she couldn't control her eyes and glanced towards the box. Such a set of jewelry cost dozens of taels of silver. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't take it out.

?

At night, when Qin Qiyi came back, it was already late at night, and the cold wind was howling outside. He walked in wrapped in a cloak and saw the figure sitting in front of the window at a glance, "Yan'er, why aren't you sleeping yet? Sit there, be careful of catching a cold.

."

Seeing him coming back, Xu Yaner felt happy for a while, but when he came closer and smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, she couldn't help but frown, "Have you been drinking?"

Qin Qiyi hugged her and put his head on her shoulder, "I don't want to drink either, but if I want to climb up, I still have to invite some necessary people.

"Yan'er, I did all this for you."

Xu Yaner's heart softened, but she remembered the two boxes during the day and said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I haven't bought any clothes or jewelry in the past six months. Can you take me out for a walk tomorrow?"

Qin Qiyi was already a little blurry and his eyes were closed. "I'm sorry, I have to go to Dimao. I've just started and can't ask for leave. Wait a few days..."

He has fallen asleep.

Yao didn't let her go out without his guidance, and Qin Qiyi also knew about this. Listening to his heavy breathing smelling of alcohol, Xu Yaner sat in front of the window and didn't move for a long time.
