I don't know if Chu Yunli's words had an effect. Anyway, no other people from the Hou Mansion have been here. Princess Changping and her husband are tired all day long. It is good for Chu Yunli not to take care of them, at least for her now.
Life is much more comfortable than when I was in the Hou Mansion.
Not long after Princess Changping came back, Yu Fengan went on errands. He is now in the Ministry of Punishment. It is said that the princess specially asked the emperor to ask for him. It is worth mentioning that Princess Changping is the younger sister of the current emperor. Princess Changle over there
, and it was only from a concubine.
It can be said that the emperor did not care about Princess Changle's concubine. The fact that the Marquis of Chang'an was able to take concubines was not because the emperor did not let his sister make the decision, but because Princess Changping did not go to him. When she found out, the children were all born.
Already.
Winter turned to spring in the blink of an eye, and Fahrenheit's belly was getting bigger and bigger. During the Chinese New Year, she especially wanted to get closer to her daughter, so she would have people deliver things to her every three days.
Recently I heard that she is looking for a marriage for Chen Tiantian.
In the afternoon of that day, the maid hurriedly came to report, "People around Mrs. Wu Ninghou outside said that Mrs. Hou had a fall this morning and started the engine. I want you to go back and take a look."
Calculating the time, it's not the time yet, there's still a month left.
Chu Yunli immediately got up and returned to the Hou Mansion.
This was the second time she returned to the Marquis' Mansion since she got married. Compared with the cautiousness last time, this time she was much more casual. However, the servants respected her a lot more than before. They walked in all the way and went straight to the main courtyard.
The old lady was guarding the door, and Chen Ji was also there. Since he was reprimanded that time, he had shut himself up and thought about his past, and he had not yet been reinstated.
Seeing Chu Yunli enter the door, the old lady looked at her without leaving a trace. She was wearing homely clothes, but the materials were very good. The hairpin rings and jewelry on her body were simple, but everything was exquisite. The pair of bracelets were exquisite and clear, and the whole body was simple. Look carefully.
, I just feel low-key and luxurious.
Everything shows that she is living a good life now. At least it is better than when she was in the Hou Mansion. You must know that even if Chen Tiantian dresses up, she may not be as expensive as hers.
The Princess Mansion did not neglect her because of her identity. Seeing this, no one would doubt her identity as the princess' daughter-in-law. The old lady glanced at Chen Ji who was looking anxiously at the inner room. She didn't know what she thought of, and raised the corner of her mouth.
With a smile, "Yao Shan is back?"
"We're getting married, and I don't want to come back often. If it hadn't been for your mother's initiative today, I don't think you would have come back." The tone was slightly reproachful, but also seemed close, as if this was really her mother's home.
Chu Yunli glanced around the room and looked at Hua's second-class maid, "How can my mother fall when she's so good? Where did she fall? Is there anything strange about that place?"
The maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "In the garden outside, it rained a bit last night and the ground was slippery. I don't know why but I fell..."
Chu Yunli then looked at the old lady, "Grandma, how is my mother?"
The old lady was a little angry about her neglect just now, but she reluctantly endured it and sighed, "Both the doctor and Wen Po said it is very dangerous. Your mother is not young anymore. She is dangerous even if she doesn't fall. What's more, now... Oh, let's leave it to fate.
Bar."
"My mother attaches great importance to her unborn child. She will not play with her own life. She will never wrestle on the ground. She also asked my grandmother to find out the inside story and severely punish the murderer!" Chu Yunli looked at her, "I remember once
Grandma said that you will not allow anyone who is detrimental to the Hou family to exist. The child in my mother's belly may be the only male in the Hou family. If someone attacks her, you should not let it go!"
Her tone was strong. The old lady looked at her for a long time and then ordered, "Go and call all the servants in the house. The woman who cleans the garden needs to be questioned carefully. If anyone finds something wrong, they can report it. If the clues are confirmed,
If it is useful, you will be rewarded generously!”
Chu Yunli answered, "If you can identify the murderer, you can be directly promoted to a steward in the mansion. If you are already a steward, you will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver!"
Not to mention the people outside, even the servants in the room looked at each other in confusion. The nanny who received the order suddenly raised her head, obviously very surprised by such a reward, and quickly accepted the order and left.
Chu Yunli didn't hesitate and sneered, "With heavy punishment and heavy reward, I don't believe we can't find the murderer."
The old lady looked ugly, "This is a matter for the Hou family. You are already married, so you shouldn't..."
"She is my mother! Now that she has been murdered, can't I find the murderer for her?" Chu Yunli looked solemn, "Or do you think I should ask Mr. Liu to investigate?"
The old lady was speechless.
Over there, Chen Ji was not aware of the confrontation between his grandfather and grandson, or even if he knew about it, he didn't want to care about it. He only focused on the safety of Fahrenheit in the inner room. He would ask questions whenever a maid came in or out.
But a maid came out again and hurriedly walked to Chu Yunli, "Auntie, madam, please come in."
Chu Yunli glanced at the room and saw that Mrs. Qi was not there, so she walked in the door.
As soon as she entered the door, the strong smell of blood hit her nostrils. Fahrenheit's cry of pain was not loud. When she approached the bed, she saw that her hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her face. Her eyes were painful.
Busy.
Giving birth is not so fast, and now that she is in such a mess, she may not be able to survive it.
She tightly grasped Chu Yunli's sleeve and stared at her persistently, "Yu Shan...Yu Shan...I heard that you were helping me find...the murderer. You have to...save me, you must save me."
I gave birth to...you, you must...save me." After saying that, he glared at the two stable women.
Chu Yunli held her hand and quietly felt her pulse. She was recovering well, but she did have a fetal movement and was born prematurely. Her mother's body was severely damaged. She was lucky enough not to die after giving birth to this child, but her vitality was also severely damaged.
What she said just now seemed to mean that she gave birth to a daughter, so the daughter owed her something and she had to save her.
Chu Yunli checked her pulse carefully again, a little surprised, and looked at Hua with a little pity. If the girl she gave birth to was still a daughter, what would Hua do? Or, she would watch helplessly.
Chen Ji takes a concubine?
No matter what it is, it should be uncomfortable for Hua. The smile on Chu Yunli's lips deepened. She originally wanted to let Hua die, but she immediately changed her mind and said with a smile, "Don't worry.
"Following her line of sight, he looked at the two stable women and said, "How are you, madam?"
Po Wen said hurriedly, "It's very dangerous. We have to ask the old lady whether she wants to keep her older or younger..." After saying that, she got up and was about to go out.
Chu Yunli grabbed him and shouted, "Don't go! I want both of you, big and small. If anything happens to any of them, I will not only make you pay with your life, but also your whole family!"
Wen Po was stunned, and she quickly reacted, almost crying, "Auntie, you can't be unreasonable, babies have always been fatal since ancient times. We have been delivering babies for decades, but we can't guarantee that the mother and child will be able to survive."
It's safe. What's more, my wife is old and has a fetus. You are making things difficult for us..."
Chu Yunli interrupted her, "I'm so unreasonable! Do you think this gift of thanks from the Hou Mansion is so easy to accept? If something happens to my mother, even if my father and grandmother don't care, I won't
Let you go!"
Wen Po looked at each other and went back to deliver the baby.
Fahrenheit also wants this result!
These two stable women were found by Chen Ji. The Qi family couldn't do anything about it, but the old lady certainly could. Judging from the old lady's attitude towards her these days, Fahrenheit was certain that the old lady would not spare her life, but leave her mother and her son.
It’s just a matter of convenience!
Fortunately, this daughter finally did not disappoint her.
As night fell, a weak cry of a baby sounded in the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
Po Wen caught it and was overjoyed, "It's born!"
Fahrenheit was exhausted, so she forced herself to ask, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Po Wen had already seen whether the child was a boy or a girl. They had lived in the Hou Mansion for a long time and knew a lot about what they should and didn't know. Suddenly, she felt a little nervous and said, "Go back to Madam, it's... a girl."
Hua Shi was holding on for a breath, but when he heard this, his eyes became distracted, and his energy was gone in an instant. The hand holding Chu Yunli's sleeves also loosened, and he fell on the pillow with all his strength, and said blankly, "Sure enough,
Is it life?”
At that moment, even Chu Yunli felt her despair.
Chu Yunli came close to her ear and asked in a low voice, "Mom, didn't you prepare a backup plan this time? For example, prepare a boy..." The tone was sarcastic.
Fahrenheit, who was already drowsy, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at his daughter in front of him, "You..."
Chu Yunli smiled and said regretfully, "Oh, I remembered that you were born prematurely. Even if you are prepared, you can't let others go into labor prematurely with you. Even if you have backup plans, they won't be used."
Without looking at Hua's confused face, Chu Yunli stood up, took the baby wrapped by Po Wen and went out.
Outside the door, Chen Ji saw her and stepped forward, "How is your mother? Is she a boy or a girl?"
The old lady was sitting, but she also stood up and took a step forward. Although she didn't ask, she could tell she was very anxious.
"It's my daughter." Chu Yunli finished her words and successfully saw the disappointed look in their eyes.
Chen Ji was disappointed for only a moment, and stretched out his hand to Chu Yunli, "Let me see."
Seeing him holding the swaddling baby carefully, looking at the ugly child with closed eyes inside, he smiled and said, "Girl, it's just as good."
He was a good father, but Chu Yunli couldn't bear to look at the look on the old lady's face.
Looking at the people kneeling in the yard outside the door and the large blood stains, Chu Yunli asked, "Have you found the person who attacked my mother?"
The old lady shook her head.
Chen Ji didn't pay attention to his mother and nodded, "It turned out to be the Qi family. She is so crazy that she wants to kill your mother."
The old lady looked ugly. She nodded to Chu Yunli's confused look and said, "It's indeed her. Since your mother and daughter are safe, it's getting late now, so as not to worry the princess, you'd better go back first."
"That's not possible." Chu Yunli refused to leave, and finally came back once.
Besides, looking at Mr. Qi sitting on the chair, how does this look like he has committed something wrong?
Chu Yunli looked at her and asked, "How does grandma plan to deal with the second lady?"
"This is a family matter in the Hou family." The old lady emphasized.
Chu Yunli showed no sign of weakness, "The person she harmed was my mother! It is a crime for a concubine to murder the mistress. You can do it if you don't want to. I asked someone to invite Mr. Liu to come. I have my own laws to deal with her."
After saying this, he immediately ordered the maid to go to Jing Zhaoyin.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qi, who had always been disapproving, said, "You don't really want to pursue it, do you?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Seeing that Chu Yunli's maid had run away, Mrs. Qi finally became anxious and immediately looked at the old lady, "Mother, I followed your orders in this matter!"
Finally said it!
