Meng Tianqi also happened to be in the same direction as Xu Ruoshui, and Wang Mengjiao was accompanying him. Xu Ruoshui felt sour in his heart when he saw the two of them loving each other.
"Sister-in-law." Fang Liying still kept her original title. She trotted next to Xu Ruoshui, "Is it because you feel uncomfortable because of what Du Erniang said?"
Xu Ruoshui was stunned, shook his head and said, "They are all insignificant words, I won't keep them in mind."
"My eldest cousin is still very kind. Look at Wang Mengjiao and this goblin pestering my cousin. I don't even have a chance to say a word." What this means is that Fang Liying has never said a few words to Meng Tianqi these days.
Already.
"You haven't reconciled with the second young master yet? You are just a little cowardly. You just talk and don't hide away." When Xu Ruoshui heard that Wang Mengjiao was enjoying herself these days, she said to Fang Liying,
"You heard me right. The second young master was just depressed that day. After all, it's a man who can't hold you back. You might as well go over and show your kindness first. I guarantee that he will smile at you."
Fang Liying hesitated for a moment, "Will it work?" Asking her to bow her head first would make Wang Mengjiao laugh.
"You have to take this step no matter whether it works," Xu Ruoshui encouraged. "Otherwise, do you want to be subordinate to others for the rest of your life? Don't forget that you entered the government a day earlier."
"Thank you, cousin, Ying'er knows what to do." Fang Liying got the idea and bowed to Xu Ruoshui and thanked her, "Then I'll go over first." As soon as she left, Xu Ruoshui seemed alone, and Yan'er had already been sent away by her.
Went to play with lanterns with other maids.
The lanterns are set up next to the lotus pond, and the high-hanging lanterns are reflected in the pond, like bright stars in the night sky. After living for more than ten years, tonight is the loneliest night. In the past, even if my parents were gone, Wang Mengjiao would still be with me.
There were bursts of laughter and laughter not far away, and it was extremely lively. Unfortunately, the excitement only belonged to others, not to her, Xu Ruoshui.
I originally thought that the night would just end in the noise of others, but I never thought that Baoju would come over to look for her in a hurry, "Young mistress, it's terrible, Zi Yan...she had a miscarriage."
"What?" Xu Ruoshui stood up with excitement, "When did it happen?"
"My servant just accompanied the lady there. I don't know when it happened. She lost a lot of blood. I'm afraid the child may not be saved." Bao Ju guessed.
"Let's go." Xu Ruoshui didn't bother to ask any more questions, why did Zi Yan suddenly have a miscarriage? When she first heard the news, she was quite shocked. This child was the guarantee of prosperity and wealth for her.
In the afternoon, it was said in the wing that all men of the Wulanluo tribe have an eagle on their chests, but women do not. Xu Ruoshui mentioned this because he wanted Zi Yan to suffer slowly for the rest of the days, but
She never thought that she would miscarry. Even if the child was very likely to have an unknown origin, as long as she gave birth to a daughter, she would still have a place in the palace.
There was a strong smell of blood coming from the wing of Ningxiang Hall. Except for an elderly mother who was waiting on her, there was no one else inside. Baoju reminded, "Madam is waiting for the eldest mistress in the flower hall."
In the flower hall, Mrs. Meng's expression was solemn and unusual. She was sitting at the top. Next to her stood Meng Tianbo, looking a little absent-minded. Mrs. Hu lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
"Wan Qiu, please let me wait." Mrs. Meng's eyes were sharp.
Xu Ruoshui knew that this matter was not that simple, so she raised her skirt and knelt down, "Mom, my daughter-in-law just learned that Miss Zi Yan had a miscarriage. It was all due to my daughter-in-law's negligence. My daughter-in-law is willing to accept the punishment."
"Humph~~~Receive the punishment? Why do you have to accept the punishment without knowing the reason? Could it be that you did this?" Mrs. Meng really cared about the child in Zi Yan's belly, and Xu Ruoshui knew this fact early on.
"My daughter-in-law must never dare to think of killing her with a thousand cuts. Although her daughter-in-law did not do this, she was also guilty of negligence, so I asked my mother to punish her."
"Zi Yan is not awake yet, wait until I ask her." Mrs. Meng did not intend to listen to Xu Ruoshui alone. Even Baomei who was about to speak next to her was stopped by Mrs. Meng's eyes.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The silence was interrupted by the mother-in-law who came in from outside. She was the mother-in-law who had just served Zi Yan.
"Mother Li, how are you?" Mrs. Meng asked with squinted eyes.
Mother Li bent down and replied, "Madam, Miss Zi Yan's fetus was forcibly retained. It seems that it will be difficult for her to have another child in the future."
"So serious?" Mrs. Meng opened her eyes slightly, "Do you know how it fell? If we don't find out clearly, I won't let Shan give up and actually do such an evil thing under my nose."
"The old slave thought that it looked like saffron, and its strong medicinal properties would lead to such serious consequences."
Saffron? Xu Ruoshui has never heard of it, but Mrs. Meng knows something about it, "How come there is saffron in my house? And it was eaten by Zi Yan? I won't believe it if someone didn't do it deliberately."
Mrs. Meng's words pointed the question at Xu Ruoshui, and she was the most suspicious.
"Madam..." Zi Yan's voice came from outside. She walked in with difficulty while holding her belly. Before she could be helped, she fell to her knees and cried, "Madam, please be my slave."
Call the shots.”
Mrs. Meng was already unhappy, and she felt even more unhappy when she cried like this. "You get up first and talk, the ground is very cold." It was already night, and the ground was naturally cold.
"If Madam doesn't find out who harmed this slave's child, I will never be able to kneel down." In the past, Madam Meng would have given her some kind words, but now Zi Yan has lost the value of her use.
Since Zi Yan wanted to kneel down to Mrs. Meng, she no longer forced herself, "I will definitely investigate this matter. If it is known that someone has used dirty tricks, I will not be lenient. Zi Yan, do you know
Who wants to harm you?"
"I don't know, but my body has always been safe and sound under the care of sister Baomei. For some reason, the eldest mistress sat in the room for a long time today. I was very grateful to the eldest mistress for being so considerate."
These words once again aggravated Xu Ruoshui's suspicion.
"Late Qiu, what do you have to say?" Mrs. Meng asked.
Xu Ruoshui knew that Zi Yan was not well-intentioned, but he didn't expect that she would point the arrow at him so clearly, "Mom, first of all, my daughter-in-law doesn't know what saffron is. Secondly, my daughter-in-law has no reason to harm the child. The eldest master's child
They are my daughter-in-law's children, and my daughter-in-law knows this very well."
"Then why did you go to her room for so long in the afternoon and could you only talk?" Mrs. Meng seemed a little unconvinced.
