Mrs. Qiao knew the situation at that time. Perhaps if she insisted on protecting the child, the chance of the child surviving would still be very low.
Her great-grandson was gone, and she felt as if her heart had been ripped out. She sighed and said, "Qi'en was kind-hearted. If he spared her life, he would pity the child."
Mother Wu glanced sideways at Shen Shuli, who was instigating the dispute: "Aunt Shen, it's good for your health to drink more water when the weather gets warm."
Shen Shuli snorted disdainfully, did she think she talked too much?
What right does an old slave have to speak sarcastically about her? Shen Shuli ignored Mother Wu's words and continued: "Madam, you mean well, but this is the first child in the Hou family. It is a pity that it is a boy."
Mrs. Qiao became even more melancholy. In fact, what she was thinking about at that time was to keep her child alive. Maybe her great-grandson would survive regardless of adults.
"A soft-hearted person cannot achieve great things. She is a good mistress, but she is too soft-hearted." Mrs. Qiao said meaningfully, her scheming eyes seemed to have other plans.
"You bitch, you came here to stir up trouble with the old lady. You were the one who released the snake. You bitch, you don't deserve to die!"
Suddenly, Qing Cui, wearing a forehead wipe, rushed over to pluck Shen Shuli's hair. As she plucked it out, she hit Shen Shuli angrily with all her strength.
"You snake-hearted woman, I will fight with you today. Not only do you want to kill me, you also want to kill my wife. You dare to sow discord in front of the old lady. I'll beat you to death, you bad woman."
Shen Shuli didn't fight back, but fell down as soon as she was pushed. Qingcui pinned her down and hit her. She cried for help: "Old madam, old madam, save this bitch..."
Mrs. Qiao frowned distractedly, wondering what it would be like for the two aunts to fight together in broad daylight.
Mother Wu hurriedly led two maids to pull Qing Cui away. Qing Cui was irrational and wanted to hit Shen Shuli angrily.
Xiao Zhi hurried over with her cloak. When she saw this scene, she was so frightened that she knelt down to excuse her master.
"Old madam, my aunt is heartbroken and ill after losing her son. I beg you to spare my aunt this time before she is out of confinement."
Mother Wu scolded: "How did you take care of your aunt? Why did you let her run out at this time?"
Xiaozhi lowered her head and cried, "I went to the dining room to serve soup to my aunt. When I came back, I didn't see my aunt. I took a cloak and hurried out to look for her."
Mrs. Qiao glanced at the crazy Qing Cui with a displeased look on her face, and scolded her: "If the child is gone, it's not your fault for being useless!"
There was a hint of disbelief in Qing Cui's tearful eyes. She was pressed by two maids on her arms, unable to move and tears kept falling down.
Shen Shuli got up from the ground in embarrassment, her hairpin fell to the ground, her hair was messy, she said pitifully while wiping her tears.
"Sister, why did you pour dirty water on my sister? That's a poisonous snake. I have a maid beside me. She stays at home all day long and rarely goes out of the yard. How could I get a poisonous snake? Isn't my sister going crazy? "
Qingcui gritted her teeth and scolded her: "Bitch, stop pretending, you will receive retribution, you will be struck by thunder from the sky!"
Shen Shuli looked at Mrs. Qiao and said weakly: "Old madam, I really want to inflict crimes on you, so why bother?"
Mrs. Qiao frowned and said displeasedly: "Shut up! What does it look like!"
She paused and breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Qingcui and said: "I think you are still in confinement, so I won't care about you this time, and I will never tolerate it next time!"
Xiaozhi kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, old lady, for showing me kindness. Thank you, old lady, for showing me kindness."
Mother Wu: "Why don't you help me go back to rest soon?"
Xiao Zhi quickly got up, put his cloak on Qing Cui, and walked away with Qing Cui in his arms.
Shen Shuli felt unhappy. She was beaten a lot, but the old lady didn't blame Qing Cui!
She said aggrievedly: "Old madam, Sister Qingcui is so hurtful..."
"You talk a lot today. If you don't talk, no one will think you are mute!" Mrs. Qiao said something displeased to Shen Shuli and left!
The moment Mother Wu passed by her when she left, she also gave Shen Shuli a warning look.
Only Shen Shuli and her maid Xiang Zhu were left there, and she stamped her feet angrily!
Xiang Zhu didn't dare to say anything. She had always been cautious about Shen Shuli's fiery temper.
Shen Shuli threw down her sleeves angrily and returned to her yard.
.....
An Qi'en was concentrating on reading medical books about leg diseases in the study. Qing Bi was polishing ink aside, and Bai Lu opened the curtain and came in to report.
"Madam, Aunt Shen was beaten by Aunt Qingcui."
An Qi'en looked away from the book, glanced at Bai Lu and asked her to continue.
"Aunt Shen is sowing discord with the old lady, which means that you should not protect Aunt Qingcui. If you protect the child but not the old one, the child will definitely survive. Aunt Qingcui may have heard that Aunt Shen has been behaving in front of the old lady every day, so she did not calm down. , and then I heard Aunt Shen’s words to break up the rift."
Qingbi Momo paused and asked, "Did the old lady blame you?"
"No, Aunt Qingcui was reprimanded. The old lady didn't blame her because she was still in confinement."
An Qien put down the book and said, "Aunt Shen is restless again."
Qingbi: "Madam, do you want to give her some skin?"
"No, she should be made the most favored woman in the Hou Mansion."
Qingbi smiled smartly and said, "Okay, madam."
An Qien suddenly thought of something and asked, "What is Aunt Liang doing recently?"
Bai Lu replied: "She basically doesn't go out of the yard and doesn't get close to people. She doesn't go to the two aunts either. She only goes to the old lady a few times. She's very low-key."
An Qi'en thought for a while and said, "Everyone has their own calculations, which is good."
She put down the book, stood up and said, "Go and see the greenery."
Two maids followed her.
When they arrived at Liuxian Pavilion, An Qien comforted Qingcui a few words. Qingcui also knew that she had been reckless and regretted it extremely.
She must cheer up, take good care of herself, and seek revenge as soon as possible.
An Qi'en didn't stay long, said a few words and left. As soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw Shen Shuli.
Shen Shuli said: "Madam."
An Qi'en raised his eyelids and glanced at her, saying meaningfully: "If Aunt Shen's belly doesn't move, her status will not be guaranteed."
Shen Shuli was startled, paused in her heart, and cursed: Your stomach has been silent all the time.
On the surface, she replied respectfully: "I will do my best."
An Qien added: "The prince has the deepest affection for you. I'm afraid I won't be able to give birth. If you work hard to give birth to the first child of the Marquis, your child will most likely be the legitimate son."
"Shuli doesn't dare. Shuli has never had the intention to go beyond the limits. Shuli is just a cheap concubine. It's good if she can serve the prince."
What she was thinking in her mind was that An Qi'en must be the weasel who wished Chicken New Year's greetings with unkind intentions, and she couldn't fall for it.
No woman can openly say that she can't have children, it must be a trap!
