Mrs. Liu panicked and said: "Old lady...Old lady really doesn't have that much ability. I'm just afraid...that I might fail Fujin's trust." At this point, she glanced at Mrs. Li carefully, and when she saw her expression, she kowtowed hurriedly:
"It's not that the old woman refuses to do things for Fujin. It's because the old woman's abilities are limited. This child is not a dead thing. If he starts crying in the middle, people will definitely find out.
Li was already about to get angry, but her face felt better after hearing her say this, "Don't worry, someone will help you when the time comes. I just want to ask you, do you agree?"
Mrs. Liu knelt there, struggling with her inner being, how to answer. She never dared to say that someone had asked her to kill Ye Xiu's child. Although she might be able to get a way out in front of Li Fujin, she believed that she would be able to survive in front of Li Fujin.
That man's magical powers are so vast that he can teach himself to die without a complete corpse in just a few days!
What should I do? What should I do? Mrs. Liu was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. Seeing that Mrs. Li was getting impatient, she simply closed her eyes and said, "Old lady, just promise Fujin." If you don't agree, you will definitely die. If you agree, you may be able to survive.
There was a line between life and death. Although she was already old, she still wanted to live for two more years. Besides, she didn't want to just take the large sum of money she had finally obtained into the coffin.
Mrs. Li showed a satisfied smile and winked at Qingrong. Qingrong immediately took out a tray from the back hall with understanding. When Mrs. Liu saw what was on the tray, her little eyes immediately opened up. Silver, everything.
They were all pure silver, and there were hundreds of taels on the plate.
Mrs. Li understood very well the principle of giving equal importance to kindness and power. Only by giving a stick and a sweet date can others work for her wholeheartedly. She pursed her lips and said: "I also know that this matter is not easy to handle, so I won't let you take the risk in vain. Here
There are three hundred taels, which is considered as the down payment I will give you. When the matter is completed, I will give you another seven hundred taels. This one thousand taels will be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life."
"Thank you Fujin! Thank you Fujin! The old woman will definitely do the job for Fujin." Mrs. Liu stared at the plate of silver brought to her without blinking, and there was unconcealable greed on her wrinkled old face;
That character also gave her a lot of money, but no one in the world would complain about too much money.
People die for money, and birds die for food. As soon as she made this deal, she immediately left the capital with the money and walked far away, so that even if something happened later, she would not be implicated.
Mrs. Liu didn't know that, whether in the minds of the Li family or that person, she was already equated with the dead, and was destined to have no luck in enjoying the money.
In the next few days, the weather was clear and sunny, warm and full of spring. The masters, both young and old, who had been waiting all winter, walked out of their rooms and went for a walk in the garden, which was quite lively.
On this day, Mo Yu took advantage of the good weather and led Shui Xiu and the two of them to clean the inside and outside of Jingsi House. Ling Ruo didn't want to go to the garden to join in the fun, so she sat in the courtyard with Wen Ruyan.
Chess game in front of a stone table. The black and white chess pieces are about a foot square.
They were fighting fiercely for their respective territories on the board, chasing each other without giving in. Above their heads was the cherry blossom tree in full bloom, and from time to time soft petals fell on the chessboard with the wind, adding to the original black and white colors.
Add a touch of color to your chessboard.
"I heard that Lingxi comes to your place every day?" Wen Ruyan asked, putting down the chess piece on her fingertips.
Ling Ruo smiled slightly when he heard this, looked at the situation on the chessboard and said, "Lingxi likes the cherry blossom trees here, and Yilan is here, so she comes here occasionally, but she doesn't like to talk as much as before."
Wen Ruyan nodded, twisted a peanut from the small plate, held it lightly in his hand, peeled off the layer of red clothes attached to the peanut, frowned and said, "Although the time when Lingxi fell into the water was more dangerous, it has been so long, no matter how scary it is,
It’s time to forget about it, why is it always like this?”
"The doctor said it was a knot in her heart. Maybe she saw Honghui drowning in front of her, so she couldn't let go. Speaking of which, Li Fujin has been pregnant for more than seven months. If she can survive the last two months safely, it will be enough.
It’s already a month, and I don’t know if Lingxi will have a younger brother or younger sister.”
Wen Ruyan stroked the pearl hairpin on her bun and said calmly: "Ms. Li always hopes to be a boy, so that she can become the crown prince's mother-in-law." Children are more valuable than their mothers, even if Ye gave birth to a boy.
He is the eldest son, and cannot be compared with the children of the Li family. The son of the Fengshi must be the son of the Li family. Unless the Nala family can give birth to a legitimate son again, there will be order in the family. Even if the Nian family gives birth to a child in the future, it is impossible to surpass the Li family.
Canonized as Crown Prince.
"It's a pity that she can't decide whether to have a boy or a girl." Ling Ruo glanced at Mo Yu and the others who were busy going in and out and said with a slightly disappointed look: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are a boy or a girl, they are all your own flesh and blood, as long as you are safe and healthy
That’s fine.”
Wen Ruyan pointed at her smooth and jade-like chin and said with a somewhat threatening smile, "What? You, a girl, are starting to want a child too?"
Seeing that her thoughts were exposed by her, Ling Ruo's face suddenly turned red, she glanced over her head and said, "How can I? If sister talks nonsense again, I will ignore you."
"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore." Wen Ruyan knew that she was thin-skinned and stopped making fun of her, so she paused and said, "But it would be nice to give birth earlier, just like you advised me before.
Favor cannot last a lifetime, only our heirs are what we can rely on. Speaking of which, you have been favored by the prince for a long time, why has there been no movement yet? Have you ever asked Imperial Physician Xu to show you?"
Ling Ruo nodded slightly when he heard the words and said in a low voice: "I've seen it. Dr. Xu said that it may be due to my cold constitution and a serious illness. Although I'm better, I'm still a little weak, so it's not easy to conceive. He has prescribed medicine."
It should be fine while I'm being recuperated."
Wen Ruyan felt relieved after hearing the words and concentrated on the chess game again. The black and white chess pieces mixed with endless falling flowers finally revealed the winner after half an hour. Ling Ruo took the silk and wiped the sweat from her palms and said with relief:
"When it comes to chess skills, I have never been my sister's opponent."
Wen Ruyan smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Li Wei walking quickly in front of the two of them, and whispered: "Master, I just learned that the one in Liuyung Pavilion started to suffer from abdominal pain early this morning.
Seeing red, it looks like she is about to give birth. At this moment, the direct descendant Fujin has rushed over and sent someone to notify the fourth prince."
Ling Ruo was a little surprised. She was just talking about the baby, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Ye was about to give birth. She asked immediately: "Is Po Wen here?"
"Here we come, Mrs. Liu, the most famous woman in Beijing, is already waiting at Liuyun Pavilion." Li Wei inquired very clearly.
Wen Ruyan sat in the thin light and shadow, slowly sipping tea, "Finally, Ye Xiu has endured it. Whether he is a boy or a girl will soon be revealed."
Ling Ruo dusted off her long white flowered skirt and stood up and said, "It's fine if this baby is a girl. If it's a boy... I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement in the house in the future."
"There has never been less excitement in our house." Wen Ruyan shook her head, put down the tea cup, stood up, and slowly said with emotion: "As long as there are women, there will be fights, for status, for power, for
Men...the only thing we can do is protect ourselves and not get involved in fights."
"I know." Ling Ruoxiao smiled and looked at the boundless sky. No matter whether he is a prince or a prince, their fight has nothing to do with her. Even if she has a child in the future, she will not fight for anything. She just wants her child to be able to
Grow up safely and happily.
Shortly after Wen Ruyan left, Mrs. Li unexpectedly came to Jingsiju. Ling Ruo hurriedly welcomed the fat-bellied Mr. Li in. After he sat down, he asked, "Why is Fujin here at this time? I heard that Li
Fujin is about to give birth, I thought you would go there."
Li stroked her belly and said with a smile: "It turned out to be true, but Fujin said that I am a pregnant person and should avoid seeing people in public, so he asked me to come back. When I passed by nearby, I thought of my sister and came to see you.
My sister won’t blame me for being abrupt, right?”
"How come, Fujin came to see me, but it's too late for me to be happy." Ling Ruo smiled and took the jasmine tea brewed by Mo Yu and offered it to Li with her own hands, "How is Fujin these days?"
"Everything is fine. It's just that this kid keeps kicking me, making it hard for me to sleep peacefully." Mrs. Li took the tea from Ling Ruo, and when she opened the tea cup, the armor on her little finger barely touched the tea, and the water was flowing.
Circles of water formed, and she lowered her head and sipped it gently, with a hidden smile on her lips that was hidden by the tea cup.
