Chapter 166 The Poor Girl Climbing High Branches Part 7
From the beginning to the end, Chu Yunli did not show any fear, and looked confident that the matter had nothing to do with him.
Looking at her like this, Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt that this concubine, who was very well-behaved before, was probably more difficult to deal with than the other women.
She suddenly regretted it.
When the man came back with Qi Xiaomei, although she felt worried, she didn't stop him. After all, a country girl has never seen the world and has nothing but beauty. Taking such a concubine is the most worry-free. If it were someone else,
She still didn't agree so readily.
If Qi Xiaomei was not allowed to get started, how could these things have happened?
Chu Yunli did not panic, because she knew that Zhou Yilin had been sending people to keep an eye on her, and would rush back soon after receiving the news, and would never allow anything to happen to her.
Sure enough, just when Zhang was dragging the poisoned maid up for interrogation again, Zhou Yilin hurried back. He was walking in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Madam, what happened?"
Mrs. Zhang sighed: "Yu'er's child is gone. The doctor said he ate something bad. Her maid identified Aunt Qi. I'm here to ask more questions."
Zhou Yilin glanced at Chu Yunli and saw that her face was rosy and she didn't look like she was scared. He was slightly relieved: "It's definitely not Xiaomei. She is timid and will never dare to do such a thing. Put that nonsense aside
That maid, drag her out and beat her to death with a cane."
Zhang: "..."
She moved her lips, feeling really jealous.
The man said this because he either truly believed from the bottom of his heart that Qi Xiaomei would not do such a thing, or he thought that no matter whether she did it or not, he would kill the maid to silence her.
Either way, it is not a good thing for Zhang.
Chu Yunli smiled: "Madam, I only need the trust of the young master. I don't need to fight for favor."
Zhou Yilin looked at another pregnant girl. At this moment, her face turned pale with fright and said: "Yu'er, don't live here. Move in and be with Aunt Qi."
Chu Yunli was a little surprised and glanced at Miss Yu'er, but did not refuse.
This house is not her place, and there is no room for her to refuse. Speaking rashly will only annoy people.
Yu'er stepped forward tremblingly: "Master, slave... I want to go and serve the lady."
As soon as she said this, she knew she had made a mistake.
Just now Zhou Yilin asked her to accompany Aunt Qi, but she insisted on accompanying Madam. It seemed as if Aunt Qi was not worthy of her company.
She raised her head in panic and looked at Chu Yunli, but she didn't know how to explain it, and her face turned red from holding back.
"Stay with Aunt Qi!" Zhou Yilin made the final decision: "You two go back and rest first, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Don't be scared.
Yu'er summoned up the courage to mention it once, but before she could get Zhou Yilin's approval, she didn't dare to speak again and cautiously withdrew.
After leaving the courtyard, she followed Chu Yunli like a little maid, stealing glances from time to time.
Chu Yunli noticed her gaze, but did not look back. The two returned to the spacious courtyard where Chu Yunli had already expanded. She went directly to the pavilion and sat down, saying: "Let's enjoy the scenery here first. You
The house hasn’t been tidied up yet. By the way, what happened in your yard this morning? Do you know the reason why Miss Yu was born?"
Yu'er didn't dare to sit down, and looked pale, saying, "I don't know... I was woken up by the noise in the yard. When I opened my eyes, I heard that Sister Yu had seen Hong..."
Hearing this title, Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows and asked: "Which one of you will serve the young master first?"
Yu'er is pregnant first, so she should take care of her first. She is chosen based on her seniority, so why would she call her sister?
Yu'er lowered her head: "Sister, she said she is one month older than me, so..."
Forced to occupy a long time.
Chu Yunli stretched out her hand and said, "Sit down. If you keep standing, I think you still have to raise your neck."
After hearing this, Yu'er didn't dare to stand any longer.
Chu Yunli could tell that this girl was very timid and didn't even dare to speak, but that Yu'er was probably the opposite in temperament. She stretched out her hand to beckon, and Dong Yu came close to her and whispered a few instructions.
.
Dong Yu was a little surprised, but still followed the order and left.
The maids came in and out, and it didn't take long for them to clean up the house. Yu'er hurriedly ran back to nest, and she wouldn't come out until she could.
A little later, the winter rain came back.
"Miss Yu has a stronger temperament. She usually has to compete among the maids. She was chosen by the lady because of her good looks. The slave heard that Miss Yu didn't go to the main courtyard to serve her much after she got pregnant. Miss Yu would serve her in the main courtyard every day.
Both go!"
Chu Yunli instantly understood that the child in Miss Yu's belly was probably caused by Mrs. Zhang. Even before she gave birth to the child, she became so domineering. It was not only to warn her, but also to suppress her.
In the evening, Zhou Yilin came to dine with her again and said, "She drank the medicine herself, just to frame you!"
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Chu Yunli's belly.
Chu Yunli stood up in time to serve the soup and avoided his hand.
Zhou Yilin thought it was a coincidence and didn't take it to heart, saying: "The twins of yours are really attracting attention... My second brother and the others may have been involved in this matter! I protect you too tightly, and they can't do anything."
, just want to ruin your reputation. If you are frightened and frightened, you will definitely hurt the child."
It seems to make sense.
But Chu Yunli knew that this was just Zhang's plan.
"Actually... my belly is not too big, it doesn't look like twins at all!" Chu Yunli suggested: "Why don't you find more doctors? That Dr. Lin's hair has turned white, he must be confused.
Bar?"
Zhou Yilin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He is a master at raising babies and will never make a mistake."
This is so confident!
Chu Yunli lowered his head: "I just feel that this kid has pierced many people's eyes. It is too dangerous to only trust a doctor. If he is bribed by someone, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Don't worry, I know it all in my heart. He has said that your mother and child are healthy and don't need to take medicine. The anti-fetal medicine he gave you last time, will it be fine if you take it?" Zhou Yilin said plausibly: "If he gives it again
If you prepare the medicine, I will find two doctors to keep an eye on it and never let anything happen to you!"
"I didn't drink the medicine." Chu Yunli said bluntly: "I lay in bed for two days..."
After hearing this, Zhou Yilin's complexion changed drastically: "But he clearly said that you had fetal force. You are too bold. If you don't believe him, you can just tell me. How can you not take medicine?"
He stood up suddenly and said: "Come here, find a doctor!" After saying this, he felt unsafe: "Find three people and let them stagger in."
Zhou Yilin turned around with his hands behind his back, feeling very uneasy and scolding: "You don't trust the doctor. You should have mentioned it to me a long time ago. How could you stop taking the medicine in private?"
Chu Yunli lowered his eyes and covered up the sarcasm in his eyes: "Is it useful if I say it? I said before that I hate my brother, but you insist on saying that it is for my own good and insist on letting me see him. Every time I see him, I block him
Gotta panic!"
Zhou Yilin turned to look at her: "Are you still grudged against him for plotting against you?"
This is something that cannot be admitted. A man like Zhou Yilin is very confident and thinks that Qi Xiaomei, a peasant girl, can achieve success by following him. He should not hate the culprit, but should even be grateful.
"No, he hasn't loved me since I was a child, and he sold me for a good price. The last time he came here, he asked me for ten taels of silver!" Chu Yunli shook his head: "Young Master's silver was hard earned, and I couldn't bear to give it to him.
, but he kept saying that I was ungrateful... I didn’t want to see him.”
"Then I won't see him anymore." Zhou Yilin sighed: "So you have something to say, otherwise, I don't know what you think. Today I let you two brothers and sisters meet, and that's for your own good.
The child has an uncle who is away from home, and the older one also has someone he trusts to help run errands."
These words are really meant for mother and son. After all, according to common sense, blood relatives are the most trustworthy.
While she was talking, a doctor had already arrived. Zhou Yilin was afraid that she might really have fetal motility, so he simply kicked everyone around her away.
The doctor took the pulse carefully and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother and child are healthy, pretty good."
Zhou Yilin let out a long breath: "I just say that Dr. Lin is reliable!"
Chu Yunli didn't accept the words and looked at the doctor: "Are both children okay?"
The doctor was stunned, suddenly raised his head and looked at her, then looked at Zhou Yilin with some confusion: "This... there is only one child, where did the two children come from?"
He was a little nervous and thought he had seen it wrong, so he stretched out his hand again: "Excuse me, aunt, please extend your hand."
Zhou Yilin later realized something was wrong and hurried to the table.
The doctor's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter: "There is... only one child. If it is twins, the pulse will be obvious at three months." At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was an aunt in the house who was pregnant with twins. Could it be?
Is this this one?
The conscience of heaven and earth, the Zhou Mansion is so big, and there are so many aunts in it. He really didn’t know that the one he was dealing with was pregnant with twins! Didn’t they all say that Dr. Lin was in charge? Why did he invite them again?
Thinking of Dr. Lin, he didn't believe that he stretched out his hand to feel his pulse again. He hesitated for a while and said, "I only diagnosed one child."
Zhou Yilin had a serious look on his face. He had seen a lot since childhood. At this moment, many thoughts had popped up in his mind. He always felt that there was a conspiracy in this matter and asked: "Then you mean that Dr. Lin deceived me?"
The doctor did not dare to say this, so he only said: "Maybe the pulse is not obvious in the early stage."
Zhou Yilin was a little irritable. The twins had become a child... It was quite joyful to sleep with a child, but there was no good omen. They said that if you have no hope, you will not be disappointed. He was very disappointed now.
So, he quickly brought in the remaining two doctors, and they both said they only had one child.
At this time, Zhou Yilin became irritable, and he immediately ordered his entourage to fetch Dr. Lin.
Previously, Zhou Yilin was very eager to save the twins and paid a very generous consultation fee every time. When Dr. Lin heard that he was invited here, he came very quickly.
Zhou Yilin's face was solemn: "Doctor Lin, feel your pulse."
Dr. Lin muttered in his heart, this is not the right attitude.
After checking his pulse, Chu Yunli said before he could speak: "The three doctors just said that I only have one child. Did you make a mistake in the diagnosis, or do they not know how to look at it?"
Doctor Lin was stunned: "This..." He glanced at Zhou Yilin's expression and said, "It is indeed my misdiagnosis."
Zhou Yilin was furious: "You just misdiagnosed and you want to erase your past mistakes?"
Dr. Lin had sweat on his forehead and glanced at Chu Yunli, his eyes full of help.
He probably wanted Chu Yunli to intercede for him. Otherwise, Qi Dachang had secretly made trouble for him. If he was found out, no one would be able to take advantage of him.
Seeing that the doctor didn't speak, Zhou Yilin became even more angry and slapped the table hard: "Speak!"
Doctor Lin hesitated and said: "This is indeed my fault. Young Master may not know that these twins have the most variables..."
Anyway, it's just nonsense.
He also recounted what he had read in ancient books about the discovery of a fetus in the womb after a child was born, that is, a fetus within a fetus.
Zhou Yilin frowned when he heard this: "You mean one of my children ate another child?"
"This...it's hard to say!" Doctor Lin was sweating profusely on his forehead, and he really had no choice.
Zhou Yilin saw the guilty look on his face and sneered: "Who asked you to trick me? If you don't tell the truth, I will make it impossible for you to stay in this city from now on!"
Doctor Lin looked at Chu Yunli again.
Zhou Yilin was annoyed: "What do you always see my aunt doing?"
Doctor Lin also took the risk: "Let me tell you that having twins was my aunt's idea."
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows: "Every time I take my pulse, I have a maid or a young master guarding me. When did I let you talk nonsense?" She looked at Zhou Yilin and emphasized: "I always say that twins are impossible.
!”
This is a fact, but Dr. Lin swears by it, and Zhou Yilin will definitely listen to the doctor's words.
He narrowed his eyes: "Doctor Lin, if you don't tell the truth, then I will release the news completely. When my aunt is full term, it will be clear how many children there are."
Dr. Lin has been in this city for many years, and the reason why he is so busy every day is because of his reputation. If his reputation is ruined, he will either leave the city, or he will be reduced to a second-rate doctor, the kind that carries a stigma.
Doctor Lin opened his mouth. He wanted to recruit Qi Dachang directly, and then implicate Aunt Qi. However, Aunt Qi did not have twins, so she also had children. He had been in Zhou's house for so long, and he also knew how much Zhou Yilin valued children. Later,
Nothing will happen to Aunt Qi, but not to him.
"Anyway, I was following orders." Dr. Lin emphasized: "I really didn't tell lies. The Chen family is still waiting for me to transfer the ownership and check my pulse, so I will take the first step."
He picked up the medicine box and left quickly.
Zhou Yilin rubbed his eyebrows: "Xiao Mei, what on earth is going on?"
Chu Yunli sighed: "It must have been my brother's bad idea. I said he had bad intentions and you insisted on letting me see him! If I remember correctly, not long after I found out I was pregnant, my sister-in-law also got good news."
Zhou Yilin was not stupid. He immediately thought of the key point. He slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "This is unreasonable!"
"Qi Dachang plotted against the young master at the beginning and was not blamed. He even tasted the benefits. Only then did he become more and more courageous." Chu Yunli said bluntly: "If possible, I would be willing to sever ties with such a brother."
None of this mattered, what Zhou Yilin was most angry about was that the twins he had been looking forward to were gone.
If word got out, it would be embarrassing, and people would laugh at her. At the same time, he became a little angry with his aunt Qi: "You knew about this, why didn't you remind me?"
"Would you believe it?" Chu Yunli adjusted her sleeves: "Furthermore, the pulse was not accurate three months ago. At that time, another doctor was called, and they were not sure. I... I have been worried about this these days.
It’s not easy to eat or sleep well..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yilin was quite speechless. The woman in front of him had rosy skin and was fatter than before. How could she look uneasy?
However, now this bold Aunt Qi is exactly what he wants. If she has always been soft and weak and can't even protect herself, how can she be expected to protect her child?
"Don't spread this beforehand!" Zhou Yilin was thinking deeply. He didn't want to believe that this was a conspiracy thought up by a country farmer, but he still felt that it was related to his brothers: "When you give birth, the truth will naturally come out."
Chu Yunli looked at her belly: "But the twins' belly grows very fast, and it doesn't look like mine either!"
Zhou Yilin said rudely: "I say yes, who dares to say no?"
Chu Yunli: "..." As long as you are happy.
Next, Zhou Yilin came less and less.
Although he still made time to visit her every three days, he visited several aunts at night and found two new maids to serve her. In the eyes of others, it meant that Aunt Qi had fallen out of favor.
This is also good, at least, there are not as many people targeting Chu Yunli as before.
For a period of time after that, Yu'er stayed in the house all day long. After receiving the instructions from the main courtyard not to ask for permission, she would not go out unless she could, as if there was no such person in the courtyard. The weather was getting hotter and hotter.
Chu Yunli was too lazy to go out, and her whole body grew bigger as if she was blowing air.
This was not the first time she had given birth, and she was a doctor, so she didn't have much fear. But Yu'er was different. She was raising the fetus and didn't gain weight. She was getting thinner and thinner, leaving only a slightly bulging belly.
.
Chu Yunli didn't want to help Zhou Yilin protect the child, but she felt pity for Yu'er. She was just like the former Qi Xiaomei, who didn't want to come to such a house to live such a fearful life, but she was put there by accident.
Roasted on the fire.
So, she took the time to accompany Yu'er.
In the end, it was okay if she didn't go. Every time she went, Yu'er became more and more cautious. She didn't even dare to sit down, she just stood in front of him and waited on him.
Chu Yunli was quite speechless: "You are pregnant now, so you can't stand all the time. Sit down! I'm not here to bully you, I just want to help you be brave."
Yu'er burst into tears: "I'm so scared!"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Chu Yunli looked puzzled: "You have lived in my yard for three months. Did anyone bully you? Or did someone poison you?"
Yu'er shook her head.
"That's it!" Chu Yunli advised: "Young Master wants to keep the child more than we do, and he will take care of it. You don't have to be so frightened. The child can feel your nervousness and may cause fetal irritation.
Eat when you need to, and sleep when you need to!”
Yu'er seemed to relax a little: "Then... aunt doesn't hate me?"
If it were Qi Xiaomei, she wouldn't dare to dislike her. Chu Yunli had no feelings for Zhou Yilin and didn't want to compete for his favor. Of course, he wouldn't take his woman to heart.
Chu Yunli said seriously: "Why do you hate what you do? Life is so short, and there is no time to live your own life. How can you have this free time?"
Yu'er was dubious.
Chu Yunli thought for a moment and said, "It's good for your children if you go out for a walk every day."
She didn't dare to go out before, but now she was able to move around in the corridor. Later, she discovered that this Aunt Qi didn't care about her at all. She became more and more courageous and dared to order people around her.
Ever since Chu Yunli told Zhou Yilin that the Qi family had bad intentions, Qi Dachang had never been able to enter the house again. In the blink of an eye, Chu Yunli was already more than nine months pregnant and could give birth at any time.
It was also at this time that Zhou Yilin brought another woman back, it was the matchmaker.
When Chu Yunli heard the news, she thought she had heard it wrong. The matchmaker and she were cousins of the same family. They were both wild girls who grew up in the village. Without her introduction, Zhou Yilin would not have had the chance to meet the matchmaker.
"I heard that when the matchmaker becomes pregnant, she will be promoted to aunt." When Dong Yu said this, she was very careful, for fear that her aunt would be angry.
Chu Yunli was not angry, but felt sorry. A little later, a matchmaker in a pink shirt came to the door.
Compared to the matchmaker's embarrassment a few months ago, she was now wearing heavy makeup and looking very glamorous. When she saw Chu Yunli, she was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't dare to recognize her, and then she stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to my aunt.
.”
Chu Yunli sighed: "Why are you here too?"
The matchmaker lowered her eyes: "I was brought to the house by someone. According to the woman who picked me up, I have a healthy body and can give birth to healthy children."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli felt blessed. Could it be that Zhou Yilin saw that she was safe and sound these past few months, so he wanted to find a country girl to have children?
This is really... Actually, Chu Yunli has also encountered dirty things, but she had to give birth to this child without touching it, so she could live in peace and contentment.
Yu'er has also encountered her over there, and Chu Yunli found reasons to take things away so that she could have a good baby.
"Do you want to come?"
When the matchmaker heard this, she glanced at her: "You didn't want to come at first, but what happened?"
Still here, a child is about to be born, and the life of her daughter’s family is completely out of her control.
Chu Yunli heard that she didn't want to stay here, and wanted to say that he could send her away in the future... but felt that this was an empty talk. At least in the matchmaker's eyes, no one would believe that an aunt like her had such ability.
The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard an exclamation from the room opposite. Not long after, Yu'er's maid ran out: "Auntie, my girl has fetal force and her water has broken..."
Chu Yunli's month was coming soon, and no one had given birth yet. The one who was a month later than her had her water broken.
If you have a child, you will have a life if you are not careful. She gets up and instructed: "Go to tell your son and invite the steady -in -law."
