The doctor bowed and said, "My aunt is caused by anxiety and lack of rest. She is physically weak and should rest in bed. However, it is late at night and she has not rested yet. Her physical condition is not good, and she is also caused by anxiety."
Mrs. Qiao is someone who has been through this before and feels that this matter is by no means as simple as it seems.
Mother Wu immediately asked Xiang Zhu on behalf of Mrs. Qiao: "How come my aunt hasn't gone to bed at this point?"
Xiang Zhu's eyes were red, and he lowered his head and replied: "My aunt learned that the prince got the official position of Feilong envoy, and she was worried that the prince was in a bad mood, so she wanted to comfort him, but my aunt was still grounded and couldn't leave the yard. She was so worried that she couldn't sleep, so she stayed in the house. I walked back and forth for several hours, but it was useless to persuade me. My aunt is so full of eyes for the prince that I really can’t persuade her."
Mrs. Qiao knew that Shen Shuli and Qiao Jianghong had a good relationship, otherwise Qiao Jianghong would not be so partial to Shen Shuli.
She told Mother Wu with a sullen face: "Go and find the dregs of the medicine she drank, the jars used to brew the medicine, and the prescriptions, and show them to the doctor."
"yes."
Mother Wu took the order and went out to do something.
Mrs. Liu also felt that it would be better to find out the matter clearly, and said with a sad face: "Mother, if someone did this intentionally, they will definitely be beaten to death!"
Mrs. Qiao glanced at An Qien and then at Qing Cui. They were the only three people in the mansion who had conflicting interests.
Qing Cui was panicked by being stared at, but on the surface she was calm and sat respectfully on one side.
An Qien's expression remained calm, no matter how Mrs. Qiao checked.
After a while, Wu’s mother came back with something. The doctor fiddled with the medicine residue, checked the jars, bowls and chopsticks, and read the prescription. There was nothing wrong with it.
Doctor: "Old madam, there are no signs of poisoning in my aunt's body. There is nothing wrong with the medicine residue and the decoction jar."
Mrs. Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly. Could it be that she was overthinking it?
Shen Shuli's three meals a day were all delivered by her, so it was impossible for her to eat something she shouldn't have eaten.
Nothing was found, Ms. Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, let Shuli take good care of herself."
Mrs. Qiao's expression softened a little, and she sighed heavily: "I'm tired, Qi'en will be left to you."
An Qien stood up and said, "Yes, grandma."
Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Liu both left.
An Qi'en had the doctor sent away, but Qing Cui remained here.
She said respectfully to An Qien: "Madam, you can just send someone over to take care of her after her confinement. She will be sold or driven to the village anyway, so you don't have to worry too much."
Qing Cui deliberately said this to Shen Shuli and Xiang Zhu inside.
Shen Shuli had already woken up. When she heard that she was about to be sent to Zhuangzi, she was so excited that she wanted to roar, but she had just given birth and was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth and speak.
Xiang Zhu shook his head to signal Shen Shuli not to get excited, and whispered: "The Crown Prince has a deep relationship with you and will not send my aunt away."
Shen Shuli calmed down. The pain of losing her child was enough to make her heartbroken.
An Qien knew Qingcui's intention and changed the subject with a faint smile: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early."
Verdant blessings resigned.
An Qien asked her mother-in-law to send two maids to take care of Shen Shuli during her confinement period. After explaining, she glanced at the mosquito smoke on the table in the main room and returned to Qiushui Residence.
The mother-in-law was close to Mrs. Qiao and had long known that Shen Shuli would be sent to the village after giving birth to a child.
Now that there is no child, she will definitely be driven to the village after confinement. Naturally, the mother-in-law will not carefully select capable girls to serve her, but just randomly sends two sneaky girls to serve her.
.......
Qiao Jianghong woke up early in the morning and learned that Shen Shuli's child was gone. He ran to her bed in despair.
Shen Shuli looked at him weakly: "Brother Jiang Hong's child is gone."
Qiao Jianghong held her hand distressedly and touched her pale, bloodless face. The servant had already told him the reason.
This child was lost because Shen Shuli was worried about him. How could he not be moved by such a deep affection.
Qiao Jianghong blamed himself, his eyes were red, and he put his head against Shen Shuli's head and comforted him softly: "Li'er, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Shen Shuli shook her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Don't say that, I'm still young, we will still have children, don't be sad. I learned about your official position yesterday, so I was afraid that you would be sad. It doesn't matter, prince, the future is long. His Majesty will see your talent, so don’t be discouraged."
Qiao Jianghong felt warm in his heart and kissed Shen Shuli on the forehead: "Only Shuli loves me the most."
Shen Shuli weakly hugged his back, patted it gently, and said softly: "Have you forgotten, my ambition is to be your good wife, but now I can't do it, but as long as you are the best in your heart, The important person is me, and I am your wife."
Qiao Jianghong was so moved that he kissed Shen Shuli on the lips and whispered: "You are my wife in my heart. You were my wife when we were together for the first time three and a half years ago."
With his words, Shen Shuli felt relieved. As long as Qiao Jianghong protected her, no one could drive her out of the Hou Mansion, not even the old lady!
Qiao Jianghong stayed here for a while and ordered the maid to serve Shen Shuli well and not make any mistakes.
Shen Shuli is not a person who can't recover after a setback. How many children can she have based on her relationship with Qiao Jianghong?
This time it was a blessing in disguise, otherwise she would have caused such a big trouble in An Mansion, and Qiao Jianghong would have been impatient with her, so this time it was considered a change of heart for Qiao Jianghong.
To her, what this child lost was valuable.
Shen Shuli calmed down and told Xiang Zhu: "Give me whatever you need to replenish your body. I want to get better as soon as possible."
Xiang Zhuting was surprised that Shen Shuli could come out so quickly. She replied happily: "The prince has already sent instructions to the kitchen, and he has also sent bird's nests and donkey-hide gelatin to replenish the body."
A concubine is not worthy of eating these things. By giving them to her, Qiao Jianghong has already explained his attitude to the people of the Hou family.
As expected, the maid's attitude towards Shen Shuli became much better.
Qiao Jianghong also took up the position of Flying Dragon Envoy in the palace. Although this official position did not sound good, it was very leisurely and he did not need to feed the horses personally.
He only had to talk to his servants to feed him every day, and within two days he mentally accepted the official position.
.....
An Qi'en originally wanted to meet Mrs. Liu today, but suddenly a distant relative of the Liu family came to the house.
I heard Mrs. Liu mention this matter before. I thought she wouldn't come, but she suddenly appeared.
An Qien came to Shuiyingtang. Mrs. Liu and the woman were chatting happily, and there was a young, beautiful and shy woman sitting next to her.
Mrs. Liu introduced: "Qi En, this is my aunt."
He looked at the young woman again and said, "That is Liang Wanru's cousin."
An Qi'en blessed her body: "My aunt is blessed."
Liang Wanru glanced at An Qien and was very surprised. She had never seen such a fairy-like woman before. She said hello: "Cousin-in-law."
