Chu Yunli didn't waste any time and turned around to go back to the main courtyard. Seeing her seriousness, Yao Rouwan suddenly became anxious and chased after her.
Yu Xi was the same, crying, "Mrs. Prince, Rouwan is all for me, sir, don't care about her."
Yao Rouwan felt that these words were a bit awkward, but she didn't find anything wrong. When she saw Chu Yunli hurriedly walking, she quickly caught up with him and continued to plead for mercy without having time to think carefully.
Chu Yunli didn't tolerate her. She wanted to ask if she was okay. From now on, other people would ask her questions like this. It was not annoying enough. After entering the door, Mrs. Yao and Mr. Yao were whispering something. When they saw her
Entering the door, I was a little surprised, "Why are you back?"
"No, we feel it's too cold. Let's come back and take a rest." Yao Rouwan answered first, looking at Chu Yunli with pleading eyes and reaching out to pull her sleeves.
Chu Yunli stepped away and said, "Just now outside, my cousin Rouwan asked me why there is no room for people?"
Mrs. Yao frowned, glanced around and then looked at Yu Xi, "Is it true?"
Yu Xi lowered his head, "Yes."
"Ouch, this is embarrassing!" Yu Xi's mother, the wife who initially praised her daughter to Mr. Yao, pulled her daughter away, clearly intending to avoid suspicion.
Mrs. Yao's face was very ugly. She looked at Yao Rouwan with cold eyes, and her eyes at Chu Yunli were also much deeper.
"Sister, you really have a good daughter-in-law." Mrs. Yao looked at Mr. Yao, her tone unclear.
Yao lowered his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law is joking."
Mrs. Yao looked at Yao Rouwan, who was trembling slightly, and said in a deep voice, "The youngest son of the minister's family is about the same age as you. I think this marriage is a good one."
"No." Yao Rouwan said one word, and when she met Mrs. Yao's heavy gaze, she couldn't bear it and knelt down with a thud, "Mother, I have a sweetheart."
The room was quiet. Mrs. Yao looked at the girl on the ground for a long time before asking, "Tell me."
Yao Rouwan lay on the ground, her body trembling and her voice trembling, "Yes... it's my second cousin..."
Mrs. Yao looked at Mrs. Yao, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Yao frowned and ordered, "Go find Aunt Yue."
Aunt Yue came very quickly, and Yao pointed directly at the girl on the ground, "He is happy with Qiyi. You are Qiyi's biological mother. You can take care of it yourself."
Aunt Yue was a little surprised. She knew the girl on the ground. Mrs. Yao did not have a daughter. Although this girl was a concubine, she was carefully raised by the Yao family. "This... I'm afraid I have wronged Miss Yao."
Yao was a little impatient, "Just say yes or not."
"I am willing." He quickly turned to Mrs. Yao and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of her from now on and never let her be wronged."
The marriage was decided like this, and when Qin Qiyi came back in the evening and learned about it, there was no possibility of changing the matter. So many people saw it at that time, and Aunt Yue made the decision herself.
After Xu Yaner returned, she vomited again and couldn't get enough water or rice. The next day, Qin Qiyi didn't even go to the Ministry of War. He even found a doctor specifically for her. Take a pulse, happy pulse!
Xu Yaner is pregnant.
The uncle's house got the news soon. In the afternoon, Mrs. Yu came over with people and medicine, went to Yiyang Courtyard, but soon arrived at the main courtyard.
Chu Yunli was also there at that time. She was pruning flowers and branches with Mrs. Yao. Mrs. Yu didn't hide the anger on her face after entering the door, "Mrs. Guo Gong, I heard that you took a concubine for Qi Yi. She is from your mother's family."
Niece? Do you want to interfere in your concubine’s affairs?"
"Go find Aunt Yue." Mrs. Yao finished instructing Nanny and then said, "I don't think it's appropriate to do this, but this is what Aunt Yue agreed to."
Mrs. Yu was half-convinced, who else would want to get closer to the mistress's natal family?
Regardless of whether she believed it or not, she was waiting for Aunt Yue to break up with her. The marriage was already decided, and judging from what happened yesterday, if Yao Rouwan didn't come in, she probably wouldn't have anywhere else to go.
"Sir, you should also hurry up." Yao said in a low voice after Yi Shi left.
Chu Yunli put her hand on her belly, smiled and said, "Already have it."
Hearing this, Yao was delighted, "Really?"
Seeing her nodding, Mrs. Yao walked around the room twice and took the scissors away from her hand. "You can tell me whatever you want to eat. Don't do any of these things in the future. By the way, do you need anti-fetal medicine? I
You should find a doctor."
After saying a lot of things incoherently, Chu Yunli smiled and said, "Mom, you don't need any of these, it's quite good."
Yao calmed down and looked in the direction of Yiyang Courtyard with a serious expression, "You have to be careful. They were able to attack Shao'er back then. It should be easier to deal with your belly." She sighed, "It's not me.
I want to rush you, but the position of the eldest grandson in the Duke's palace is actually very important. Do you know why I turned down the Yu family girl yesterday?"
She didn't ask Chu Yunli to answer and continued, "I was just thinking about Shao'er almost losing his life that time. Wouldn't it be better if there was no bastard?"
Chu Yunli's mood was complicated and difficult to express, "Thank you, mother."
Chu Yunli's pregnancy was unknown to outsiders except for the people in the two courtyards. She still came to the main courtyard at noon every day and came back in the afternoon. And Yao Rouwan over there, at the end of the first year,
The small sedan was carried directly from the side courtyard into Yiyang courtyard.
When the concubine enters the house, there is no need to serve tea to everyone in the family. Speaking of which, the old lady Xu Yaner has not drunk the tea yet. The old lady worships Buddha all day long, either in the mansion or in the temple on the outskirts of the city, not to mention outsiders, it is the Yao family
I haven't seen him a few times.
For the Guogong Mansion, it is the same whether Yao Rouwan is there or not.
Chu Yunli was pregnant, and Qin Shao often came back to accompany her and would take her out on the streets. March came in a blink of an eye.
Three months have passed. Even though Chu Yunli didn't show her pregnancy or deliberately tell everyone, everyone in the Duke's mansion still knew about her pregnancy. If they knew, they would know that she had no intention of hiding it. If even her own child
If she can't protect her, her life will be in vain.
In the afternoon of this day, Chu Yunli returned to the hospital from Yao family. Today, Yao family specially gave a nanny. It is said that she was picked from the Yao family. She is very good at caring for pregnant women and can ensure that the baby will be healthy after giving birth.
She will soon regain her slim figure, and there will be no ugly lines on her body. Every big family has some tricks, and Chu Yunli can do this herself, but she still accepted Yao's wishes.
When she walked into the garden, the nanny beside her wanted to reach out to help her, but Chu Yunli avoided her and said, "I'll go by myself."
The grandma lowered her eyes and took a half step back. Chu Yunli took a step forward and suddenly found a bright spot on the bluestone road not far ahead. This was... She turned around and took another path. She saw the woman cleaning the road,
He ordered, "Put that piece away."
Later, I got the news that Xu Yan'er from Yiyang Courtyard was walking in the garden. She slipped and fell, and her child was dead.
When the news came out, not to mention how Aunt Yue was upset, Mrs. Yao became furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
It is worth mentioning that the road where Xu Yaner fell was the same road that Chu Yunli often walked when returning to the yard every day. It was not a normal road, but it was much closer and more convenient.
Chu Yunli asked someone to tell Yao about her mother-in-law cleaning. When she asked someone to question her, they found that the woman who was cleaning the yard had committed suicide.
Once again, there were no clues. Yao was extremely angry. She had been in the house for many years, but she still couldn't control the Duke's mansion, and Xu Yan'er was still pregnant. At first glance, she thought it was because she couldn't tolerate anyone, or because Chu Yunli, the daughter-in-law, wanted to
Competing for the position of eldest grandson.
At this time, she was especially afraid that Chu Yunli would be affected by the rumors, so she went to find her specifically and wanted to send her to live in Zhuangzi in the suburbs.
Chu Yunli refused, "I won't think too much, I have a clear conscience."
Yao had no choice but to force it.
Another morning, Chu Yunli got up and washed up and went out. She drank a bowl of chicken soup every morning. When she walked out of the house, the same food was already placed on the table as usual.
She drank the porridge first, then reached for the bowl of soup. Just as she was about to drink it, a faint medicinal smell entered her nose. She paused slightly and put the soup back.
The people waiting around looked puzzled. Later, Aunt Yao, who was sent by Mrs. Yao, came forward and said, "Madam, is it not to your liking? Today's chicken soup has some health-preserving medicine added to it. After drinking it, it will be good for both mother and child."
Chu Yunli was a little surprised. She lowered her eyes to hide the strangeness in her eyes. She really didn't expect that this soup was actually sent by Aunt Yao, who was specially chosen for her by Mrs. Yao. "I drank too much porridge.
, this soup...it's a pity that it was poured out, let's take it to the main courtyard together, I'll drink it later."
Aunt Yao was stunned. It turned out that the grandma who took care of Qin Shao had already answered the call, brought a food box and filled it with soup, and followed Chu Yunli to the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, Mr. Yao was looking at the fabrics. When he saw her coming in, he hurriedly called her over, "Come and take a look at these materials. They are all very soft. I will let the embroidery room make them first if you like them. This kid says it's fast."
Yes, these must be prepared in advance.”
Seeing the excitement on Yao's face, Chu Yunli had no doubt that it was not Yao who had the problem. She walked to the table and motioned to her grandma to bring the food box over, "Mom, I think I need to talk to you about this matter.
Tell me."
Seeing her serious expression as she brought out a bowl of chicken soup, Yao was suspicious, "What's the matter? What's wrong with the soup?"
Chu Yunli said sternly, "It is said that this soup was made by Grandma Yao herself. But when I drank it, I smelled the medicinal smell in it. She said it was for health, but I don't believe it."
Aunt Yao thought about it carefully, her face was still calm, she stepped forward and knelt down, "There are indeed medicinal materials added here, but they are indeed for health. Madam Shizi wronged the old slave like this, it is really... normal to be cautious when you have children.
, but the Crown Prince’s wife is so suspicious of the people sent by the master, which is not only an insult to the slave, but also a failure to the master!" She kowtowed deeply, "Please master, please investigate clearly!"
Mrs. Yao stared at the bowl of soup for a long time and then ordered, "Go find the doctor."
"Master..." Aunt Yao raised her head in disbelief, "You don't believe me?"
Mrs. Yao waved her hand, "It's not that I don't believe you, but the heirs of the Duke's family are important and there is no room for failure."
The doctor came very quickly. After smelling the bowl of soup, his expression changed slightly, "Several medicinal herbs in this soup are extremely harmful to pregnant women. May I ask, Madam Prince, have you ever tasted it?"
This is what Mr. Yao wanted to ask. Chu Yunli shook his head and said, "It's because the medicine is 30% poisonous. After I got pregnant, I was extra careful. Even if it's medicine to replenish my body, I wouldn't take it."
After the doctor left, Grandma Yao kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Old slave, I don't know why I did this. I personally went outside to beg for the prescription..."
Mrs. Yao looked at her, no wonder she couldn't find the source of several incidents in the house. It was really dark under the lamp. After a while, she said, "Take her down and keep her under supervision, and investigate her strictly."
