When Chu Yunli arrived, the doctor and Chen Yuanlue had already arrived.
Zhang Liyuan was lying on the bed with a pale face. Chen Yuanlue held one of her hands and kept comforting her, "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."
The doctor took back his hand and said, "My aunt has a fetal movement, but fortunately it's still mild. Just drink some anti-fetal medicine and lie in bed to recuperate for a while."
Zhang Liyuan asked nervously, "Is the child okay?"
The doctor checked the pulse again for a while and said, "Nothing is wrong for the moment. I have to recover after the fetal movement has occurred. Pregnant people must not fall. My aunt is lucky this time."
Chu Yunli stepped in. Chen Yuan glanced at her and said impatiently, "What are you doing here?"
Chu Yunli walked to the bed, looked at the look of the person on the bed, and then looked at Chen Xianle in the corner who lowered his head and said nothing, and said casually, "We are husband and wife, and this child is yours.
Can't you just call me mother and I'll come see Aunt Zhang?"
Chen Yuan slightly frowned, and after the doctor finished prescribing the medicine, he ordered his attendants to get the medicine. He also whispered to comfort Zhang Liyuan and asked her to rest more. Then he grabbed Chu Yunli's sleeve and said, "I have something to tell you."
Chu Yunli let her pull him, walked around the screen and out the door, threw Chen Yuanlue away, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think today's incident is related to me and want to question me?"
Chen Yuanlue looked solemn, "Apart from you, the child in her belly doesn't bother anyone. Doesn't it have anything to do with you?"
If Lin Ranran were standing here, she would probably be sad. They have been married for many years, and this man in front of her doesn't trust his wife at all.
Chu Yunli put her index finger on her lips and pulled him to the window.
Then I heard the woman's voice that was deliberately lowered inside came out, with a tired voice, "Xianle, why did you push me?"
Chen Yuanlue's expression changed.
Chu Yunli looked at him mockingly.
She knew that either Zhang Liyuan had thrown it today, or Chen Xianle had done it. This little girl was not an honest person, no matter in her previous life or in this life.
After a long while, Chen Xianle's thin voice came from inside, "Mom, earlier you said you would find a way for me to be included in the Chen family tree, but now have you forgotten it?"
Zhang Liyuan's voice became louder and filled with anger, "What does this have to do with the child in my belly? Don't think that I don't know, you just pushed me on purpose!"
"You are eight years old, you should know something. If I really have a son in my belly, I can gain a foothold in the Chen family, and if you have a younger brother, he will also take care of you. Our mother and daughter will not be like this in the Chen family
Embarrassing. Have you seen the reward from the old lady? Even though I share the blood of the Chen family like Hu, her ingredients and medicinal materials are so much better than mine. That old ginseng is at least a hundred years old. Just one thing is worth it.
One hundred taels of silver... Now our mother and daughter are just having a good time in the Chen Mansion. You idiot, do you want our mother and daughter to be kicked out?"
Chen Xianle whispered, "How did you know he was a younger brother? What if..." She trailed off and screamed, "Mom, my ears hurt."
Needless to say, we all know that Zhang Liyuan pulled her daughter's ears out of anger.
Chu Yunli reached out and pulled Chen Yuanlue's sleeve, and the two of them quickly left the yard.
Chen Yuanlue looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I just had a bad attitude."
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "We have been married for many years and have had many quarrels. It wasn't just once or twice that you had a bad attitude. It's sad that you don't trust me."
Chen Yuanlue apologized again, "I'm sorry."
In just two words, a maid came over in a hurry and said, "Master, my aunt is not feeling well..."
Chu Yunli recognized it at a glance. This was the girl next to Mrs. Hu.
"Hurry up and ask the doctor!" After Chen Yuanlue ordered, he looked at Chu Yunli anxiously, "Are you going?"
Chu Yunli turned around and went to Xianyuan, "It's time for me to go see the child."
Chen Yuanlue was dumbfounded. He did want a daughter at first, but he wanted the one he would have with her. Later, when he brought Chen Xianle back, he wanted to take care of the mother and daughter more than anything else.
He is not so free when he is interested in girls. But she is different. She seems to really take them seriously. She visits them every day and personally takes care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is no worse than having their own children.
The atmosphere in Xianyuan is good. Xianqin, the oldest, is very good at taking care of her younger sisters and never runs out. They are all children and there is no intrigue. Chu Yunli feels quite peaceful here.
Not long after he sat down, a woman came in at the door. Chu Yunli took a quick look and saw that she was from Changfuyuan.
"Old Madam, please come over, madam. We have something important to discuss!"
The old lady usually doesn't deliberately seek trouble, but she was very critical of the original Lin Ranran's refusal to take concubines, but with Chen Xichao around, it's not bad. In addition, Lin Ranran is a good person, and occasionally looks for some good ones.
The things were delivered, except for the time when Chen Yuanlue found a wife for Chen Xianle last time, especially after they were willing to take concubines recently, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along pretty well.
But something seemed different today. As soon as Chu Yunli entered, a teacup flew towards her feet. The old lady was very angry and yelled, "Vicious woman!"
Chu Yunli blinked, thinking that she hadn't done anything, and even found a couple of lovers. To be fair, she took a concubine as soon as she came here, and she usually kept a distance from the old lady, so she shouldn't have asked more questions.
, she is definitely better at being a daughter-in-law than the original Lin Ranran.
With this thought in mind, I looked up and saw Zhang Liyuan sitting on a chair nearby, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Next to her, Chen Xianle was crying with her head lowered. In front of the old lady, kneeling were two servants in fine cloth.
.
This kind of clothes was worn by the lowest servants in the Chen family.
Chu Yunli avoided the debris on the ground and stepped in, "Mom, my daughter-in-law doesn't know what I did wrong to get you to say this. My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to be called a "poisonous woman", please mother to make it clear!"
As I got closer, I found a box in front of the two servant women, with a small silver ingot of five taels in it.
The old lady snorted coldly, "Yuan Lue will also come. I'll talk about it together when he comes."
Sure enough, Chen Yuanlue arrived two breaths later, taking Mrs. Hu with him. He opened the curtain and saw the debris on the ground. He was surprised and said, "Mother, who made you angry?"
Also, the only one in Changfuyuan who dares to lose her temper is the old lady herself.
The old lady's face was filled with anger, and the wrinkles were so deep that she said, "Let Aunt Zhang speak!"
Zhang Liyuan stood up and said, "I fell down in the yard this morning. I thought it was because I couldn't stand firm, but then after the master and his wife left, I accidentally found the woman sweeping the yard sneaking around. I asked her about it and found out
Knowing that they had deliberately sprinkled water on that place, I was shocked and frightened. I also asked about the person behind the scenes, but they still refused to tell me. Later, I directly asked the old lady to make the decision, and they said...said..."She
He glanced at Chu Yunli and seemed to dare not say anything.
With this look, even a fool would know that she meant that Chu Yunli wanted to cause her to have an abortion.
Chu Yunli glanced at Chen Yuanlue with a faint smile, and saw that his face was ugly and his eyes were full of disappointment.
The old lady thought that his disappointment was directed at his wife, who had been sleeping with him for more than ten years, and said in a deep voice, "Ran Ran, you have been the wife of the Chen family for many years, and you took the initiative to mention taking concubines. I thought you were a good person.
Yes, I didn’t expect you to be so intolerant of others. If you don’t want to take a concubine, I won’t force you, but you shouldn’t take a concubine and then attack the Chen family heirs!”
Before Chu Yunli could defend himself, Chen Yuanlue couldn't help it anymore, "Mother! This matter has nothing to do with Madam."
"It has nothing to do with it?" In the eyes of the old lady, this was her son trying to protect his daughter-in-law. She suddenly got angry and pointed at the two women on the ground, "You guys tell me!"
The two women lowered their heads, "Last night, Miss Sanqi found two slaves and asked us to sprinkle more water in my aunt's yard. She also gave us a reward." As they spoke, they pushed the silver forward.
Hearing this, Sanqi immediately stepped forward and knelt down, "I have never been to my aunt's yard yesterday. Before that, I had not been to my aunt for at least half a month. After my wife knew that the two aunts were pregnant, I also exempted them from greeting them."
, and asked the doctor to go there every day for diagnosis and treatment, and he was very concerned about his children. They talked nonsense and wanted to slander Madam, please ask me for advice!"
"You dare to quibble!" the old lady angrily said, "This is only five taels of silver. Who else can get it except the main courtyard?"
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows. Even Chen Yuanlue was a little confused and emphasized again, "My aunt's fall has nothing to do with my wife."
"Why don't you tell me what's irrelevant?" The old lady was so angry that she pointed at the two women on the ground with trembling fingers, "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, but you still want to defend her?"
Chu Yunli finally spoke up, "Mother, you misunderstood. It's not me that I want to protect!"
These words made Zhang Liyuan a little nervous for no reason.
The old lady frowned, "Don't be so arrogant, just say what you have to say."
Chu Yunli looked at Chen Yuanlue, "If you don't tell me, I won't be polite?"
Chen Yuanlue glared at her and said again, "This matter is none of Madam's business. It was my aunt who accidentally fell down."
"Then how do you explain this money?" The old lady was so angry that she laughed angrily, "Do you think I can be fooled by my old eyesight?"
Seeing the old lady holding her head in anger, Chen Yuanlue took two steps forward and said, "Mother..."
"What's there?" Chu Yunli chuckled, "Aunt Zhang fell because she was pushed by her own daughter! As for the money... the witness was from my aunt's yard. Why did they say this? I guess my aunt
You should know better."
Zhang Liyuan almost jumped up and said in an excited tone, "You are talking nonsense, how could my daughter push me?"
Chu Yunli said unhurriedly, "It's very simple. I brought her back because I liked my daughter, and I also want her to be included in the family tree. If you give birth to a daughter, how can I value her again if I have a biological child?"
Then he looked at Chen Xianle, "Xianle, do your ears still hurt?"
With just one sentence, Aunt Zhang turned pale and blurted out, "You eavesdropped..."
Chu Yunli smiled and said, "I'm not the only one who heard this."
Zhang Liyuan looked at Chen Yuanlue with eyes full of disbelief. When she met his disappointed eyes, her face turned pale as a sheet.
The old lady patted the table, "What's going on? Ran Ran, tell me."
Chu Yunli didn't care about Chen Yuanlue's hesitant look, and said to himself, "It's nothing, just after my aunt fell down in the morning, my master and I went to see her and found out that she just had some fetal force and did not leave immediately when she went out.
Standing by her window and looking at the scene, unexpectedly, I heard Aunt Zhang asking her daughter why she pushed her, and Xianle asking about the genealogy, and then heard her complaining that her ears hurt... We didn't see it, I guess
Maybe Aunt Zhang pulled her ear?"
When Zhang Liyuan heard the words of standing by the window and watching the scenery, the last trace of luck in her heart disappeared, and she hurriedly explained, "Master, I don't know what happened. I really thought it was Xianle who didn't help me well. Then I saw the ghost of the old lady."
Sneaky..."
After listening to Chu Yunli's words, the old lady felt that she had been fooled. In anger, she ordered, "Drag these two women out and beat them hard! Be sure to ask for the truth!"
The old lady spoke, and the two women were dragged out in an instant. Soon, the dull sound of boards hitting flesh could be heard outside. The woman first begged for mercy, then after a few boards, she shouted, "Auntie, please help us."
Please give me a favor..."
Zhang Liyuan looked at Chen Yuanlue for help. Seeing that he had no expression on his face, he knelt down and glanced around. He suddenly remembered something and said, "I don't have five taels of silver in total. Please tell me, madam!"
This is true. Five taels of silver is not a small amount. If Zhang Liyuan had it before entering the mansion, he would not have asked Chen Yuanlue to help take care of his daughter.
At this moment, the mother-in-law outside admitted that it was Aunt Zhang who instigated it.
Chu Yunli walked up to her and asked, "So, where did you get the money to testify against me?"
