Shen Shuli glared at Qing Cui fiercely, as if he was about to eat someone, and scolded Qing Cui in his heart.
Qiao Jianghong urged her impatiently: "Eat quickly."
He didn't know that the meat had no taste. Shen Shuli had always been spoiled and domineering, so it was good for An Qien to set rules for her.
If he told her these rules, Shen Shuli would cry and talk endlessly about the fact that he didn't love her.
When his mistress sets the rules, he just follows them and saves himself a lot of trouble.
Shen Shuli could only eat the greasy fat pork with tears in her eyes. She felt sick after taking one bite, as if she had swallowed a fly.
By the second plate, she couldn't eat anymore. Her face was as pale as paper, and she wanted to take out her intestines and wash them.
The effect has been achieved. An Qi'en took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Aunt Shen, if you are greedy next time, you can come to Qiushui Residence. There are many good things here. Let's stop here today and send Aunt Shen back to rest."
Xiang Zhu hurriedly sent his master's husband away, while Shen Shuli's legs seemed to have no muscles and bones, and she could not walk unsteadily.
Qiao Jianghong left after a while and went directly to Cunju Hall Liang Wanru's place.
Qing Cui returned to Liuxian Pavilion and came to the east courtyard. Shen Shuli was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to vomit.
She held her big belly with her hand and mocked Shen Shuli in a arrogant manner. She had vomited bile and looked embarrassed.
"I'm a concubine, I'm a concubine. No matter how much the prince favors you, the mistress will still be in charge in the Marquis's courtyard. Today is just a little warning. Let's see if you are still arrogant in the future!"
After saying that, Qing Cui gave Shen Shuli a sinister warning look and left.
Shen Shuli was so angry that she stared at Qing Cui displeased. She couldn't say a word because of the discomfort in her stomach.
She'll make this bitch look good!
No one will be spared.
What made her even more upset was that Mrs. Qiao didn't teach An Qien a lesson, but she killed all the chickens!
It seems that An Qien's status in the Hou Mansion should not be underestimated. She really failed to provoke him and ended up eating a belly full of disgusting fat pork!
...
It’s the New Year, and the Hou Mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. This year’s winter is extremely cold, with several heavy snowfalls, and the whole place is covered with snow.
The days in the Hou Mansion were passed leisurely. Maybe it was because there were so many aunts, and Qiao Jianghong didn't dote on one specifically, so he was much happier.
After the New Year, Qing Cui's child was about to be born, and the family had already begun to prepare for the birth. This was the first child in the Marquis family, and Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Liu were extremely nervous.
Wen Po has been taken to live in the mansion, waiting for Qing Cui to start.
There was a cold wind blowing and heavy rain outside. People shivered from the cold, and people in the house went to bed relatively early.
After An Qien lay down, Qingbi put down the curtain and retreated to the side to keep vigil across the screen.
Suddenly, An Qien felt something sliding up from the soles of her feet, and the numbing touch made her scream in horror.
Qingbi heard the sound and rushed in. An Qi'en had already opened the quilt, and saw a five-step snake climbing to An Qi'en's knees.
The five-step snake raised its head, stuck out its soft tongue, and glanced at An Qien aggressively.
With green eyes and quick hands, he grabbed the five-step snake behind its head and mouth with his bare hands.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Qingbi was not afraid at all with the snake in her hand. She looked like a veteran at catching snakes. When Qiao Jianghong was in bed, An Qien often took two maids up the mountain to collect medicines during the more than a year he lived in the temple. I’ve seen snakes.
At first, the three masters and servants were so frightened that they flew out of their wits. After a long time, they were able to deal with the crisis calmly.
An Qien's face calmed down: "It's okay, lock up this snake."
"Yes, madam, I will go and deal with it first."
Qingbi retreated, and An Qien got out of bed and opened the quilt. He checked several times to see if there were any other snakes, but luckily it was just one snake.
When she was thinking about who wanted to harm her, Xiaozhi came over in panic and cried to report.
"Madam, please help my mistress quickly. Mistress...she is bleeding heavily...she was bitten by a snake..."
An Qien was shocked, another snake?
She immediately got dressed and went.
Liuxiang Pavilion has become a mess. The maids and women in the yard are busy, and maids are constantly coming out of the room carrying blood.
When An Qien entered the room, Qiao Jianghong was sweating profusely and pacing back and forth worriedly.
Mrs. Qiao took reassurance and kept chanting Amitabha.
Mrs. Liu went inside for a while to take a look, and then came out with red eyes. The handkerchief in her hand was almost crushed by her.
When Qiao Jianghong saw An Qien coming, he seemed to see the backbone. He said anxiously: "Qien, you know medical skills, please go in and take a look."
At this time, there were bleeding marks on the green and white ankles from being bitten by a five-step snake, and the sheets were all covered in blood.
She was sweating profusely in pain, and the hair on her forehead was wet and stuck to her haggard and lifeless face.
The room was filled with her pitiful cries. Qingcui grabbed Xiang Zhu's hand and said with difficulty: "I want to see Madam. I only believe in Madam, Madam!"
Xiaozhi's eyes were red and she held Green's hand tightly: "Auntie, Madam is here, you must hold on, you will be fine."
An Qien walked in quickly. The doctor and midwife were all very busy.
"Have you given your aunt the antidote?" This question was asked to Dr. Zhang.
Doctor Zhang frowned and said: "Madam, the medicine to detoxify the snake will hurt the baby in my aunt's belly. If you drink it, the baby in your belly will be stillborn."
Qingcui said with all her strength: "Save my child, protect my child..."
An Qien asked Po Wen again: "When will the baby be born at the earliest? Can we ensure that the baby will be alive after birth?"
Po Wen was so anxious that she was sweating profusely and didn't dare to confirm: "Madam, I don't dare to say anything about my aunt's situation. My aunt has lost too much blood, let alone the child, I'm afraid she..."
Qiao Jianghong rushed in and demanded: "You must keep the child for me. I will reward you heavily for keeping the child."
Po Wen said to him with a sad face: "Your Majesty, my aunt's situation, I'm afraid..."
At this time, another Wenpo said in fear: "My aunt is bleeding heavily again. She can't stop it. I'm afraid she's going to have a hemorrhagic collapse!"
Doctor Zhang clasped his fists at Qiao Jianghong: "Your Majesty, if this continues, I'm afraid both mother and child will die."
Qingcui had her eyes half-closed at this time and was almost unconscious.
Qiao Jianghong still wanted to have a child. He put his hands behind his waist and couldn't bear to make the decision to protect the older one rather than the younger child.
An Qien said: "Baoda, there will be children in the future."
Qiao Jianghong said nothing.
Doctor Zhang just stood still. Although An Qien was the head mistress of the Hou family, Qiao Jianghong was still the eldest son.
An Qien asked Qingbi directly: "Have you brought the medicine to stop the bleeding and detoxify?"
Qingbi looked anxious: "Bai Lu went to get it, and I will go and take a look."
