Cailan saw that the pregnant woman's heavy bleeding had stopped, but Shen Tianshu didn't make any move, thinking there was still some danger.
But she didn't know where to put the child she was holding.
She could only ask carefully: "Ms. Tong, do you need anything else?"
Shen Tianshu couldn't move at all at this time, and half of his body felt like pins and needles.
"I, my body is numb!"
Only then did Cai Lan react. He quickly put the dead baby aside, stepped forward to support Shen Tianshu, and rubbed her arms.
It took a long time for Shen Tianshu to recover, and he slowly got off the bed with the help of Cai Lan. The moment his right foot landed, his knees softened and he almost fell to the ground. He was caught by Li Zian who came in at an unknown time. Straight into his arms.
"No, I'm dirty!" Shen Tianshu subconsciously stretched out his hand to push him, but found that his hands were even more stained and had been smeared all over Li Zian.
When Li Zian saw this, he bent down, picked her up and walked out.
"It's already stained anyway, so it's not even a little bit worse."
When passing by Cao Zhengtao, Shen Tianshu found that he was reaching out to touch the child, thinking that he was feeling sorry for the loss of a little life, or feeling sad about the child's deformed body.
Then she watched helplessly as Cao Zhengtao tried to open the child's deformed thighs with his hands to find the object that represented a man.
When he discovered that the dead baby was indeed a boy, Cao Zhengtao was immediately entangled.
He couldn't be sure whether the child was a boy from the beginning and became deformed after his mother took the reincarnation drug, or whether he was a daughter from the beginning and took the reincarnation drug to the present extent.
If I continue to eat until delivery, will the child grow inside my wife's body and turn into a boy completely?
Seeing Cao Zhengtao's changing expressions, Shen Tianshu knew what he was thinking without even guessing.
She had never seen such people before.
Now that she suddenly saw it again, she felt sick and almost felt sick.
"Let's go!" Shen Tianshu turned around and buried his head in Li Zian's arms.
Li Zian glanced at Cao Zhengtao with disdain, hugged Shen Tianshu and strode away.
Chen Jingke stood in the yard and saw this situation, and hurriedly ordered his servants to bring the boiled water to Shen Tianshu and Li Zian's rooms for them to bathe.
He can only handle the aftermath here.
Li Zian had just walked to the door of Shou'an Courtyard with Shen Tianshu in his arms when he heard the shrill screams of Aunt Dong coming from behind.
"No - impossible! My grandson, my grandson will not die. You must have killed my grandson."
Chen Jingke asked someone to bring the malformed fetus over to her.
"If you hadn't insisted on giving your daughter-in-law the reincarnation drug, in another month you would be holding your fat grandson tightly and smiling from ear to ear."
"No - it's impossible -" Aunt Dong shook her head desperately, refusing to believe it no matter what.
But the child was placed in front of her like this, which made her heart tremble.
"Why... why is this happening..." Aunt Dong fell on the ground and cried loudly.
In her old age, she had no regard for her lifelong dignity and betrayed her master. This was not the outcome she wanted.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Chen Jingke asked someone to take Aunt Dong into custody.
Li Zian went back to freshen up, changed into clean clothes, stayed by Shen Tianshu's bed and waited for her to fall asleep, then came out again and called Chen Jingke to go to the dungeon to interrogate Mr. Wen again.
So far, Wen is quite cooperative, but unfortunately she is not too close to the core personnel, so the information she can give is limited.
But he still managed to get Li Zian to ask some clues about the forces behind Miss Bai.
Li Zian asked, while Chen Jingke was taking notes beside him. There was no fourth person in the cell.
Another copy of the written testimony was copied, and Mr. Wen's thumbprint was given.
Li Zian put away one copy and handed the other to Chen Jingke and said, "Just in case, keep one copy at your house."
"Okay!" Although Chen Jingke didn't know much about the case of reincarnation drugs, he still understood the seriousness of the matter through Wen's few words just now.
It's a pity that Miss Bai and others have fled to Yingtian Mansion, which is far beyond Chen Jiajun's sphere of influence. Otherwise, he would have found this group of people by digging three feet into the ground.
The two people left the dungeon and walked back. Li Zian asked: "Is Mrs. Chen still unwilling to go back to Wuchang Mansion with us?"
"Yeah, there's no other way, and I've tried to persuade her, but grandma said that there have been so many things going on in the family recently, and people in Sanli City are already panicking.
If she were to come here at this time, the family would definitely be in chaos.
And there were still a lot of things that needed to be sorted out, so she finally decided to stay at home and wait until the New Year before taking time to see the Dowager Empress. "
"Okay." Li Zian felt that Mrs. Chen's concerns were very reasonable. Moreover, his grandmother only wanted him to take Mrs. Chen back, and did not say that he would take her back no matter what. In the end, he chose to respect Mrs. Chen. people's opinions.
"In this case, there is nothing left for Atong and I to do here. We plan to set off back tomorrow."
"So anxious?" After Chen Jingke said this, he realized that tomorrow seems to be Laba.
If Li Zian and Shen Tianshu want to get home before Little New Year's Eve, they probably have to hurry up!
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to escort you." Chen Jingke said.
"No need, I have shadow guards following me. Atong and I are still the same as when we came here, traveling lightly and in disguise. No one will know who we are."
"Didn't the Crown Prince say before that he would take the Wen family back? Why don't I pick some people and disguise them all as a caravan?
“I came here to escort Mr. Wen, and now I can also protect you.
"In this way, they are in the light and the shadow guards are in the dark. It is also a double insurance."
Li Zian pondered for a moment after hearing the words, hesitating for a while between walking separately with the escort or going together, and finally nodded and said: "It's okay, you should be careful when picking people, pick smart ones, don't have that kind of personality." The smell of being a soldier is so strong that anyone with sharp eyes can see it at a glance."
"Don't worry while I'm doing the work. It's impossible for anything like this to go wrong."
The next day, the kitchen staff stayed up all night and finally cooked Laba porridge before breakfast.
Mrs. Xu, the kitchen manager, was so sleepy that she yawned hard and almost burst into tears. She hit her sore lower back and complained: "We are not in a temple. Everyone is rushing to burn a stick of incense, so the Laba porridge is not ready." Very early too.
"In the past, we always ate Laba porridge at noon. Why did we change it to the morning this year? I was really exhausted this night..."
"Ms. Tong is going back early in the morning today. After she came, she saved the old lady's life twice.
"That's it, let alone making you cook Laba porridge here in the middle of the night. Even if I make you cook porridge non-stop for three days and three nights, you are not allowed to have any complaints."
Mrs. Xu was so frightened that she quickly stood up, bowed her waist and said with a smile: "Oh, Miss Pan Xia is here.
"Look at my mouth, how many times have you told me that I can't control it...
"If I had known that the porridge we were cooking was for Mrs. Tong, I wouldn't feel tired even if I cooked it for as long as I wanted."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense with me, hurry up and get a few bowls of porridge, and some fresher side dishes and laba garlic.
"Laba garlic must have... Oh, by the way, is the lard residue fried?
"Oh, didn't I give you instructions last night?
"Hurry, hurry, explode now!"
Panxia was really helpless, the more anxious she became, the more problems she had, but now she had no other option but to wait for the kitchen to cut the fatty meat and fry it in lard.
Mrs. Xu felt that Pan Xia was making a fuss, so she couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "I don't necessarily want to eat lard!"
Unexpectedly, Panxia listened to these words all of a sudden.
Although Mrs. Tong may not put lard residue in her Laba porridge, but whether to put it in or not is her business, but whether or not to put it in is a problem for our Chen family.
If something is missing here and something is missing there, people will say that our Chen family did not entertain us well. Be careful, the old lady wants to settle the score with you! "
Mrs. Xu then shut up angrily and went to help serve the side dishes.
Now the old lady is sad and angry all day long, and she still can’t tell what her temper is!
Who dares to provoke her at this time?
Mrs. Xu quickly filled the food box and carried it to Pan Xia at the door with difficulty.
Panxia motioned to the two little maids to come forward, picked up the food box with a wooden stick, and left quickly.
When Mrs. Xu saw this, the corners of her mouth almost turned to the sky, and she rolled her eyes.
"Stop talking. If you are heard again, you will really be criticized."
But Mrs. Xu said: "What kind of criticism will you get? Who will criticize whom?"
"Of course it's Panxia..."
Before the person next to her could finish her words, Mrs. Xu stared at her with disdain and shut up.
The kitchen is a fat spot, and I don’t know how many people behind it have scratched their heads and still can’t get in!
At this time, Mrs. Xu finally realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly kept silent.
On the other side, Li Zian and Shen Tianshu didn't bring anything with them. When they got up in the morning, they just picked it up and basically packed it away.
After seeing the breakfast, Shen Tianshu couldn't help but said: "The two of us can just eat something casually. Why is it so grand so early in the morning?"
"What's the grand ceremony? Compared with the help you two have given us, this little thing is nothing.
Although Mrs. Xu can't keep her mouth shut and has a bad temper, the fact that she has been able to serve as a steward in the Chen family's kitchen for so many years shows that she is very good at her craftsmanship.
Li Zian drank several bowls of porridge in one go, and even Shen Tianshu, who usually didn't have a big appetite, drank one more bowl of porridge than usual in order to try various side dishes.
Li Zian was happy to see it, even happier than he was to drink the delicious rice-treasure porridge. He wished he could take the steward to Prince Rui's Mansion, but luckily he was stopped by Shen Tianshu.
"How can you eat someone else's food and still think about asking someone for a cook?"
"The Chen family is not that stingy, I just need to tell Jingke."
"Don't make trouble. I only drink Laba porridge once a year, not every day. You dare to say that I'm going to be angry!"
