When Zhou Yilin heard this, he was finally satisfied.
In fact, Qi Xiaomei took the child with her to take care of the sick woman. In his opinion, she was deliberately putting the child in danger, and he was very dissatisfied with it.
However, Qi Xiaomei is not hopelessly stupid.
"Your sister is very ill. I will ask someone to take good care of her. When she recovers, you can keep her in the house for a while, or I can give you money to settle her outside."
Chu Yunli thanked him.
When Zhou Yilin left, he was in a very happy mood.
After sending the people away, Chu Yunli found Dong Yu and asked, "Who chewed the root of the tongue in the young master's ear?"
Dongyu didn't hide anything: "It's Aunt Yao!"
Chu Yunli sneered. Zhou Yilin would definitely think of something wrong sooner or later when she ran to take care of Qi Xiaotao, but if someone else interrupted, that would be intentional targeting.
The sky was just right at the moment, and the sunshine was not very strong. Chu Yunli picked up the child and said, "Go for a walk in the garden."
Dong Yu was stunned.
Because since my aunt became pregnant, she usually doesn’t go out unless she can. Even if she goes for a walk, it’s in her own yard. She’s afraid of getting into trouble if she goes out.
Chu Yunli didn't care what the maid thought.
She deliberately went to the place where she met Aunt Yao yesterday, and sure enough, she saw someone under the flower tree again.
Aunt Yao was wrapped in a bright red cloak, and her pale skin became increasingly whiter. Her whole person looked more ethereal and fairy-like. She was indeed a beauty.
"Sister Qi, where are you going?"
"I'm not going anywhere, just walking." Chu Yunli stepped forward: "I saw you here yesterday, and I didn't expect you to be here again today. When I was pregnant, I couldn't be too careful. I was afraid of bumping into you.
I was lying there, and I was afraid that the people below would do something clumsy and hurt me. During those few months, I just couldn't wait to spend it in bed. You are so brave!"
Aunt Yao said amusingly: "Sister, you are too careful! I have the blood of the young master in my belly. As long as I am not stupid, I should know not to do anything to me. Otherwise, the whole family will die without a burial place."
When he finally spoke, his tone already contained a hint of murderous intent.
"That's good, but Aunt Yu's child is gone, so you still have to be careful." Chu Yunli reminded her kindly: "Yesterday she came to me specifically to tell me that she suspected that Brother Kang's death was suspicious!
"
The two of them walked towards the flower tree together, and Chu Yunli suddenly reached out and held hers.
Aunt Yao was startled.
Chu Yunli pulled her down: "There is a stone over there, don't trip over it."
With just such a pull, the maids around him were so frightened that they were sweating all over.
Chu Yunli placed his fingers skillfully on her pulse, and then his smile deepened: "Those who are pregnant must be careful to avoid miscarriage."
Aunt Yao was a little embarrassed and withdrew her hand forcefully: "You should take care of yourself."
Chu Yunli nodded and looked in the direction of the small courtyard: "I don't know if my sister is used to it today!"
Yesterday, she knew she couldn't go to the small private hospital, so she slipped there to take medicine at night and put the medicine bowl next to the bed.
Qi Xiaotao opened her eyes and saw a dark figure, and was startled. Chu Yunli covered her mouth to prevent the scream from coming out. She gave a brief explanation at the time.
The general idea is that she can't come over openly in the future, and people will put medicine beside her bed every day. As for the medicine sent by others, she must not drink it.
Qi Xiaotao quickly accepted the matter.
In this way, Chu Yunli was not worried, she was just talking.
Aunt Yao always felt that there was something in her words, so she forced herself to say: "Your sister still has to work in the countryside. How could she not be used to being taken care of in the city? Don't worry too much."
In fact, what Chu Yunli didn't know was that Aunt Yao had talked about something else with Zhou Yilin in private.
For example, if the older sister is sick, if the younger sister is too close, she may also get sick.
If Zhou Yilin often spent the night in Qi Xiaomei's yard, he would probably be frightened and never get close to her again. But after the two had children, they were as innocent as tofu, so Zhou Yilin didn't tell her about it at all.
He took it to heart, with a look of disapproval on his face.
Aunt Yao was still very unwilling to do so.
"Originally I wanted to live with my sister for a while, but I just couldn't let go of the child." Chu Yunli looked sideways at her: "Aunt Yao, when you give birth to the child, you will know how much your mother misses her child."
Aunt Yao looked stiff: "Yes..."
Chu Yunli knew the reason why she was like this and took a pulse just now. She knew that Aunt Yao was not pregnant, and even if she wanted to have a child, she would have to nurse her back to health for a year, and then the right time, place, and people would be indispensable.
Nowadays, Aunt Yao has almost no chance of becoming a mother in her life.
She is falsely pregnant!
If the real Zhou Xiaomei were here and wanted to take care of her sister but couldn't let go of her child, she would really be in a dilemma.
In other words, Chu Yunli didn't feel embarrassed.
Even if she is not embarrassed, she does not intend to let go of the person who targets her. Besides, infant children don’t understand anything. No matter how deep the grudges between adults are, children should not be operated on. Aunt Yao did this to Brother Kang.
Chu Yunli couldn't bear it.
Just as he was thinking about how to expose her, he heard Aunt Yao next to him say: "There is a pond in front of us, let's go over and have a look."
Chu Yunli nodded.
Along the way, Aunt Yao talked about the interesting things she had encountered. Chu Yunli seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact, she was secretly paying attention to her movements.
There is a trail beside the pond, which was specially built to enjoy the scenery. There are many flowers and trees planted on the edge. It looks quite far away from the pond. People who are familiar with this area know that if you fall among the flowers and trees, you will actually fall into it.
In the water.
Chu Yunli didn't take this matter to heart at first, but not long after entering the trail, Aunt Yao covered her stomach and staggered back two steps. She happened to bump into the nanny holding the child, and she pressed hard on the nanny.
, the direction is exactly that side of the pond.
If no one took action, both the wet nurse and the child would fall into the lake, and Aunt Yao would most likely fall on the road.
Chu Yunli's eyes sharpened, and she shouted: "Aunt Yao..." After her words fell, she stretched out her hand, seemingly to catch someone, but in fact she pushed forward, and then the two of them rolled into the flowers and trees.
, and then, with a splash, he fell into the water.
After a moment of silence, the maids were all frightened out of their minds. Some of them shouted for others, and the quickest ones already stretched their bamboo poles into the water.
Chu Yunli was annoyed. In fact, she could control her body and not fall into the water, but this matter, if it was just Aunt Yao who fell, she would definitely say that she pushed it on purpose.
While pulling the bamboo pole, Aunt Yao also tried to kick her.
When Chu Yunli saw this, he kicked him back.
Although Aunt Yao was born in Hualou and was considered a lowly member of the lower class, she had been cared for by others since she was a child. She had not suffered such pain for many years and she immediately screamed.
Hearing the scream, the people on the shore were even more frightened and rushed forward to pull him away.
There were many people waiting on her. As soon as Chu Yunli came ashore, someone immediately handed her a cloak and wrapped her up. When Aunt Yao came ashore, her face was so pale that she was in so much pain that she could not stand at all.
She is pregnant.
Seeing her like this, everyone was frightened, but some were clever enough to help her onto the chair in a hurry, while others went to call the doctor.
The group of people walked back, but before they had walked a few steps, Zhou Yilin hurried back after receiving the news. He first saw Brother Hua in the nanny's arms, and saw that the child did not look frightened. When he saw that he was still
He smiled and then turned his attention to Aunt Yao.
Then, Zhou Yilin's face darkened.
"How did you fall into the water?"
Chu Yunli sneezed and didn't answer. To put it simply, Aunt Yao wanted to push Nanny and Brother Hua into the water. In anger, she just retaliated with tooth.
Aunt Yao's face was full of pain, and she grabbed his hand: "Master, my belly... my child..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yilin didn't have time to ask in detail, so he usually picked the person up by the waist and rushed to Aunt Yao's yard.
Dong Yu's face had turned pale with fright, but now she still had lingering fears. She leaned into Chu Yunli's ear and whispered softly: "Auntie, let's go back and change clothes first. You are weak, so don't catch a cold."
Chu Yunli won't catch cold, and it's not a big deal if she gets sick. She shook her head: "Go to Aunt Yao's yard first."
Zhou Yilin put Aunt Yao on the bed and asked someone to come in to help her change her clothes. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were full of worry. From the looks of it, if he had better hands than the maid, he might want to step forward and change her clothes himself.
Chu Yunli tugged on his sleeve.
Zhou Yilin noticed the cold fingers grazing the back of his hand, which made his skin crawl. He finally calmed down in his panic and said, "Why did you take your child to the lake?"
"It was my aunt's suggestion." Chu Yunli said casually, and then said: "Sir, I have something to say to you alone."
She looked serious.
Zhou Yi and Lin Fu felt deep in their hearts that this matter had something to do with someone harming the child. Just as he was carrying the person over, someone told him the whole story. If the two people hadn't fallen into the water, the wet nurse and the child would not have been able to escape. He
He glanced at Aunt Yao on the bed, turned around and walked out of the door, and waved away everyone waiting around him.
"I just feel that Aunt Yao walks too lightly! It doesn't look like she is pregnant." Chu Yunli asked curiously: "Who was the doctor who treated her? Master, if you had just found more doctors to treat her,
Diagnosis of pulse?”
Zhou Yilin didn't think there was any inside story at first, but after hearing this sentence, his face suddenly turned ugly. He turned his head and looked at the entourage at the door.
When the two of them were talking, the attendant was the closest.
The attendant, who was originally the doorkeeper, also heard the conversation between the two, met his master's eyes, bowed, and quickly retreated.
Chu Yunli walked to the chair next to him and sat down.
Zhou Yilin saw this in his eyes, with a look of disapproval: "You are soaked all over, you'd better change off quickly."
Chu Yunli looked at the inner room: "I wanted to save the person, but I didn't expect that my feet were unstable, so I pushed the person down. If something happens to the fetus in Aunt Yao's belly, I will be uneasy for the rest of my life."
Anyway, she refused to leave and had to keep a close eye on her.
Zhou Yilin thought carefully about it. After Aunt Yao was informed that she was pregnant, he went to three doctors to diagnose her pulse, and they all said the same thing. No one said there was something wrong with her fetus.
It wasn't like he couldn't get a woman pregnant, so he quickly believed it. But when Zhou Xiaomei's words fell on his ears, his heart felt as if a cat had scratched him, and he couldn't calm down... Aunt Yao had originally
I also cried to him that I was given heavy drugs when I was a child and that I would never be able to have children in this life and could only rely on his love.
Because of this, Zhou Yilin was particularly tolerant of her.
But being pregnant was indeed a good thing. Zhou Yilin was very happy. Later, he thought of what Aunt Yao had said and quickly dismissed it.
The first person to come was the doctor who had been helping Aunt Yao with the fetus. After checking her pulse, he came out with a heavy face. He bowed deeply to Zhou Yilin: "Sir, this fetus cannot be saved."
Zhou Yilin looked ugly and waved his hand: "Prepare the medicine and let my aunt take good care of herself."
At the same time, Aunt Yao's mournful cries were remembered in the room.
Zhou Yilin's heart felt heavy after hearing this. For a moment, he really felt that Qi Xiaomei was evil-minded. Other people's children were gone, and she was still making random arrangements.
Just at this time, the entourage arrived, accompanied by four doctors. After entering the door, he saluted and said: "There are three more doctors on the way."
The doctor who was prescribing the prescription paused slightly when he saw this situation, and when he picked up the pen again, his hand was trembling.
Zhou Yilin had been paying attention to him secretly. Seeing this, his heart sank and he asked coldly: "Is it difficult for a woman to prepare this recipe after she has had a miscarriage?"
The doctor was startled, his hands trembled, ink dripped on the paper, and spread over a large area. He forced a smile: "My aunt has been severely injured, so this medicine must be carefully considered. Master, you are looking for so many
When the doctor comes, does he not trust me?"
"I'm worried, Auntie." Zhou Yilin waved his hand: "Go in one by one, I want to hear the truth. If you dare to lie, you won't have to hang around in the city anymore."
The doctors who were invited later were a little dissatisfied, but the remuneration offered by the Zhou family was so generous that they endured it. One of them entered the inner room, and when he came out, he looked at the doctor who was still prescribing the prescription with a confused expression.
Zhou Yilin asked directly: "How?"
Doctor: "..." No!
"This..." He looked at the remaining people: "Let's wait for them to see it before we have a consultation together."
Zhou Yilin lost his patience: "I want to listen to your diagnosis and treatment now. If you are satisfied with it, I will give you one hundred taels!"
The doctor was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
The remaining three rushed in, but were stopped at the door, so they had to go in one by one.
The doctor, who was full of joy, bowed again: "In my opinion, my aunt is not pregnant at all. Anyway, I don't see any signs of pregnancy. Maybe they have different opinions."
Zhou Yilin closed his eyes. He didn't dare to turn his head to look at Qi Xiaomei's expression beside him. He always felt that she was laughing at him.
Soon, another doctor came out. He took a peek at the doctor who had received the money in the first place and said without any worries: "I have not been diagnosed as pregnant. My aunt is too injured and it will be difficult for her to have an heir."
Zhou Yilin waved his hand and the attendant gave him another hundred taels.
If the remaining two doctors were similar, Zhou Yilin's face was already as black as ink.
Chu Yunli sneezed again.
Zhou Yilin was brought back to his senses by the sound of sneezing, and finally remembered that Qi Xiaomei was the only woman who gave birth to a healthy child for him, and said: "Go back quickly and change the wet clothes."
Chu Yunli didn't move: "Master, don't you blame me?"
"I don't blame you." Zhou Yilin was irritated.
Chu Yunli asked again: "I discovered such a big thing, will the young master reward me?"
"Reward!" When Zhou Yilin said this word, he was already gritting his teeth.
Chu Yunli was very happy: "I don't like clothes and jewelry very much, sir, just give me money!" As he said that, he ran away happily.
Zhou Yilin was already in a troubled mood, but seeing her like this made him even more depressed.
The only thing that comforted him was that he found out that Aunt Yao's pregnancy was fake. He asked the doctor to check the pulse of the pregnant maid. The maid was really pregnant... If not, Zhou Yilin was afraid that it was true.
I'm going to be so angry.
A little later, when Chu Yunli had just warmed up, she heard that Mrs. Zhou had invited her.
When Chu Yunli passed by, Mrs. Zhou was painting her hands and said without raising her head: "I heard that it was you who exposed Aunt Yao's pregnancy?"
"Yes!" This was what she did. Chu Yunli didn't feel the need to cover up. She had already guessed that such a situation would happen when she pushed the person into the lake.
Seeing that she was neither humble nor overbearing, Mrs. Zhou looked her up and down and said, "There are a lot of things in Yilin's backyard, and someone needs to help take care of them. After thinking about it, I think you are quite suitable."
Chu Yunli was a little surprised: "This... I have to take care of Brother Hua."
That Aunt Chen grew up in the house, and her biological mother was also the nanny who had stayed in the house for decades. She should know what is going on in the backyard and how to take care of it.
In comparison, Qi Xiaomei, a girl from the countryside, was worthless except for her appearance. The other aunt was a concubine from a wealthy family, and she knew much more than she did.
Zhang's family was banned. Chu Yunli had long known that someone would take care of the backyard, but he didn't expect that it would fall on him.
"I'll find someone to teach you!" Mrs. Zhou has already made her decision and cannot allow anyone to refute it.
It is indeed troublesome to take care of the affairs in the backyard, but it also has many conveniences. For example, you can send people out at any time and know many things going on in the house. The servants no longer dare to look down on her.
Walking out of the main courtyard, Chu Yunli sighed. She originally wanted to move out, but instead she became more and more exhausted.
The Zhou Mansion... has too many rules. If she wants to leave, she can leave at any time. But if she wants to take her child out without being held accountable by the Zhou family, she has to plan carefully.
It really made her anxious... Zhou Mansion no longer exists, so he can leave naturally and there is no way to pursue the case.
With this thought in mind, Chu Yunli felt suddenly enlightened.
Not long after returning to the yard, someone sent a lot of account books, and two housekeepers came with the account books.
"My wife said, let me teach you."
Chu Yunli turned over the pages: "I don't even know the words, and I can't understand them at all. Please read it to me."
Mrs. Zhou is in charge of the backyard accounts these days, and there is nothing wrong with it. But, will there be any problems after they are delivered... That is bound to happen.
After all, Qi Xiaomei is a country girl who doesn't know every word, how can she settle the score?
At night, Chu Yunli was about to go to bed. In fact, she was waiting for the maid to go to bed before going to Qi Xiaotao's yard to brew medicine... Since she had to stay up late, she had to go to bed early.
It was not dark outside yet, and she was already planning to take a rest, but Dong Yu came in again, with a troubled look on her face: "Aunt Yao sent someone over to say that she wants to see you."
Now that she has been abandoned by the young master, Chu Yunli can completely ignore her. She still has business to do, so she immediately waved her hand and said, "I have already taken a rest. We will talk about it tomorrow."
Dong Yu didn't dare to pester, and when he exited the door, he said, "The people in Aunt Chen's yard just now came to me and wanted to invite you for tea."
Chu Yunli nodded: "I've written it down."
Chu Yunli didn't really want to take care of the errands in the backyard, but others wanted it to their death.
For example, Aunt Chen, who grew up in this courtyard, knows the benefits of power best. I heard that after Zhang was banned, she spent a lot of time on it, especially when Aunt Yao was pregnant.
He even went out of his way to make friends with Aunt Yao for a while, just to get her to speak for him.
It's a pity that after struggling for so long, I couldn't get anything. Perhaps it was because she was too eager for success and profit, which Mrs. Zhou noticed, so she was not chosen.
The next morning, Chu Yunli was not in good spirits. Last night, she went to check Qi Xiaotao's pulse and had to change the medicine. One of the medicines had to be finely ground into powder, which took most of the night before she came back to sleep.
Not long after I got up, Aunt Chen arrived.
"Sister Qi, I heard that you fell into the water. I wonder if you are sick? The lake water is very cold these days. You should be more careful, lest you catch the cold and be taken advantage of by others..." At this point
, she came over with a mysterious face: "I heard that the cause of Brother Kang's death is suspicious!"
Chu Yunli looked sideways at her with a serious face: "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If it spreads and makes others think that the backyard is a mess, it will be your fault. Besides, if you are really suspicious, Master
I don’t care, so don’t talk nonsense.”
Aunt Chen was a little stunned by her yelling. She realized it after a while, and her face was a little confused. She was just a country girl. She used to be like a kitten when she saw her. She would be as obedient as she wanted. Now she is scolding her.
He got it."
I feel unhappy, but I have to accept it. Now that I have a child and a wife who likes me, I can only endure it because I don't like me.
She quickly calmed down the expression on her face and forced out a smile: "Sister Qi is being cautious, which also reminds my sister. I remember it in my heart. By the way, I heard that the account book was delivered yesterday. I have read it, sister."
After a few days of reading and reading some accounts, if my sister needs help, please feel free to ask."
At this point, she showed a worried look again: "Those housekeepers are the best at fooling people. You must not listen to them."
Chu Yunli nodded: "You are right. However, I can't read, and my wife gave me the account book. Since she came to me instead of you, she didn't want you to see the account. In this case, I don't care about this account book.
No matter what, I dare not show it to you. How about you just steal two copies and take them home to read?"
Aunt Chen: "..." Steal?
The author has something to say: I will update everyone in a few days, good night everyone! w , please remember: free and fastest update No anti-theft No anti-theft
