Qiu'er was a little surprised at Su Xiaoxiao's reaction and nodded, "Yes."
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while and asked, "Besides you, who else saw the fourth lady touching her belly?"
"I don't know." Qiu'er answered truthfully, "Today is the first time I saw the fourth lady touching her belly. I have never seen her touch her belly before."
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Then... did Bai Xue's maid see what the fourth lady did?"
"I don't know about this, but when the maid was there, the Fourth Madam couldn't help but touch her several times. As for whether the maid saw this action of the Fourth Madam, I don't know."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't think for long before the news was confirmed. What Qiu'er heard was this: The ninth lady Bai Xue asked the maid to deliver some medicinal materials to the fourth sister. She learned from the maid that the fourth sister seemed to be feeling a little unwell, so
After consulting the eldest young master, the eldest young master called a doctor to check the fourth lady's pulse. It turned out that the fourth lady had been pregnant for more than two months.
After Su Xiaoxiao heard the news, he asked Qiu'er to put several gold ingots in a brocade box, and then took Qiu'er to Ruyi's courtyard.
She was happy. At this moment, those women must have gone to congratulate Ruyi. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to be caught, so she naturally wanted to visit Ruyi. Furthermore, she also wanted to ask Ruyi why she was so obviously
I knew I was pregnant, but I didn't say anything.
After arriving at Ruyi's courtyard, sure enough, all the women were here. Bai Xue greeted Su Xiaoxiao enthusiastically as soon as she saw her, as if she was the owner of this small courtyard, "Sister, you are here! What a great thing, four
My sister is happy."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled politely at Bai Xue, and Bai Xue held Su Xiaoxiao's arm enthusiastically.
Qianyun was sitting on the side drinking tea with her legs crossed, looking unhappy. Su Xiaoxiao thought of Mo Qingqing being reported and thought, how did she know about Mo Qingqing's affair? Could it be that she was in Mo Qingqing's room?
Is there a hidden wire inside?
What kind of hidden clues could lead to knowing these most secret things about Mo Qingqing?
"elder sister."
When Su Ruliu appeared and came over to bless her body, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly helped her up and said, "You are already a pregnant woman, so you should pay more attention. In the future, you will avoid these false etiquettes."
Su Xiaoxiao asked Qiu'er to bring the brocade box and opened it in front of everyone. When they saw the golden gold ingots, everyone was confused. The reason why Su Xiaoxiao didn't send any medicinal materials was because
She was afraid that someone would poison her inside, which would harm both Ruyi and herself. Secondly, she didn’t know Ruyi well, and she was also afraid that Ruyi would frame her in turn. Thirdly, she wanted everyone to see the gift she gave.
, I won’t be afraid of being splashed with dirty water in the future.
Therefore, giving gold ingots and opening them in front of everyone can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
"My sister is so kind to my fourth sister, and she is so generous, even Xueer is jealous."
Bai Xue clung to Su Ruliu closely, with a gentle and innocent smile, just like Su Ruliu's biological little sister. Su Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out Bai Xue. If she wanted to harm the child in Ruyi's belly, she didn't have to tell her.
Ding Shaoze, who secretly carried out the poison without being aware of it, could also make the mute Ruyi eat Coptis chinensis, so that he could not tell the story of his suffering.
If she was doing it for wishful thinking, but it was too obvious, too enthusiastic, and a bit fake.
Soon, Ruyi excused herself because she was tired, and issued an eviction order regardless of whether everyone was happy or not. The women all smiled and asked Ruyi to pay attention to her health. However, who knows what kind of heart is underneath the smile?
"Fourth sister, just let me stay here with you for a while? Anyway, I have nothing to do. It's good to talk to you to relieve your boredom." Bai Xue said with a pleasant smile, Ruyi's face was light, "Thank you, Ninth Sister, for worrying about me.
It’s just that the fourth sister is really tired, so please ask the ninth sister to go back first.”
The smile on Bai Xue's face froze, then quickly returned to bright colors, so fast that Su Xiaoxiao almost thought it was an illusion.
"Then fourth sister, eldest sister, Xue'er will go back first." Bai Xue said with a smile, reaching out to touch Ruyi's belly, "I'll see you tomorrow, baby."
Ruyi stepped back as if frightened, her heels tripped on an uneven ground, and her body leaned back. If Su Xiaoxiao hadn't happened to be next to her and supported her in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Seeing that Ruyi's face was pale and her thin hands were nervously covering her stomach, Su Xiaoxiao's sharp eyes shot at Bai Xue, "Sister Ninth, how old are you? You are so frizzy and you don't know the severity! If the fourth sister falls, the consequences will be
Can you afford it?"
Bai Xue seemed to be frightened, her face was as pale as paper, and it took a while before she cried loudly, holding Ruyi's hand with tears streaming down her face, "I'm sorry, Fourth Sister, Xue'er didn't mean it, Xue'er really didn't mean it.
, Xueer just likes the baby and wants to say hello to him. Fourth sister, please forgive Xueer this time. Xueer will never dare to do it again..."
Seeing Bai Xue crying like a pear blossom with a broken heart, as if she was being severely bullied, Su Xiaoxin felt really bad. Seeing that Ruyi's face was really bad, she waved her hand, "Okay, it's okay, you
Let’s go back to the room first.”
Bai Xue withdrew in tears. Su Xiaoxiao stared at Bai Xue's back for a long time and could not speak. She stepped on the uneven places on the ground with her feet. She was filled with doubts and said, "Qiu'er, call the housekeeper to tidy up the ground in this yard."
It's settled. Also, check every corner of the yard to see if there are any poisonous flowers, poisonous weeds, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, etc. Also, check all the furnishings in the fourth lady's room to see if there are any taboos.
In addition, from now on, the fourth lady’s diet will be carefully checked."
Su Xiaoxiao has been to the Miao Territory and has seen how poisonous the poisonous weeds and flowers in the Miao Territory are. The aroma can make you unconsciously poisoned without even realizing it.
Qiu'er responded and was about to leave when Su Xiaoxiao stopped her, "Forget it, don't go. The devil is as good as the Taoist. If someone comes up with this idea, you can't stop him no matter how you do it."
Su Xiaoxiao changed her mind temporarily. Not only Qiu'er didn't understand, but Ruyi also looked puzzled. She knew how perfunctory her servants were to her, and if someone secretly instigated her, even if she was pregnant, those servants would not do anything.
How serious. Now that Su Ruliu called the housekeeper to check, Ruyi's uneasy heart felt much relieved. Who would have thought that Su Ruliu would change her mind so quickly? Ruyi felt a little panicked, and forced out a smile, "Sister, let me
It's appropriate for the housekeeper to come and check. It's not that my sister is wary of her sisters, but she really wants to find a solution."
Su Xiaoxiao did not answer Ruyi's words, and cast her far-reaching gaze at the winter jasmine in the yard, as if she was deep in thought. Ruyi sat quietly and did not disturb her again.
After a while, Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and made a difficult decision, "Ruyi, you can move to Lichun Courtyard. You can't bring a single maid with you!"
