Qiao Jianghong's eyes were filled with guilt and his Adam's apple rolled. These words were just used by him to coax Shen Shuli. Unexpectedly, the restless woman actually let these words reach An Qien's ears.
An Qien continued: "Now that the prince's sweetheart is back, let's not talk about it anymore. The days will pass by in a blur. I don't know when this knot in my heart will be removed. If the prince is serious, please follow him more often. Please give me some time, don't force me to do it at this time."
Qiao Jianghong knew that he was in the wrong and left with a sullen face.
After leaving the courtyard of Qiu Shuiju, he sighed, how could he coax her?
Why are several aunts vying for him, but An Qien is the only one who is cold and silent towards him and ignores him!
Qiao Jianghong was in a depressed mood. When he returned to Wenyuanju, he was extremely drunk...
From then on, he had no intention of sleeping with An Qien. He knew her temperament. The harder he pushed, the more counterproductive it would be. Now he could only give her time. Maybe it would be better if she figured it out on her own... .
Shen Shuli was very peaceful after returning to the Hou Mansion. She really lived a life with her tail between her legs, and usually stayed in her own yard.
The days passed quickly, and Ruying's child was born.
It was a boy. Qiao Jianghong was very happy and named him Qiao Qi. Brother Qi was the first male child in the Hou family. As soon as the baby was born, the Hou family happily gave wedding candies to all the maids and servants in the house, including the mother-in-law. Wedding cake.
Ruying received a lot of rewards, and the child became the favorite of the house. The entire Hou family was overjoyed.
Shen Shuli had another thought. She couldn't watch other people's children taking away everything that belonged to her children.
She has always been peaceful and contented, but now she can't sit still. It would be fine if Ru Ying gave birth to a girl, but she gave birth to a boy. Mrs. Qiao has already decided that the child will be sent to An Qien after it is one month old. Feeding in name.
In other words, Brother Qi is truly the eldest son!
The doctor said that her baby was most likely to be a boy, and she even took care of her son's home and nursing home!
Shen Shuli gave instructions into the maid's ear, and the maid nodded understandingly.
This maid was sent from Yuhe Palace, and she was very sincere. The master and servant are now like grasshoppers on a rope. The maid is also an expert at Shen Shuli's instructions. This is not the first time she has done this kind of thing. It was made watertight every time.
Yuhe Wangfu sent it, he must be very capable!
Now the entire Hou Mansion is busy preparing the full-moon wine for Brother Qi. If you don't prepare things like purchasing banquets, writing invitations, and other miscellaneous things in advance, you will be in a hurry.
This is the first male child in the Hou family. Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jianghong attach great importance to it, so they are preparing to make a big deal!
Time flies, the child is about to be one month old, Ru Ying is also about to be born, and she is becoming more and more reluctant to let go of the child.
She was extremely distressed when she was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a child that was worse than death, but could not raise her son by herself.
Tomorrow is the full moon banquet, which means that she can only be this child's biological mother for one day. From now on, the child will only be able to call her aunt when she grows up.
In order for her child to have a better future, Ruying could only reluctantly part ways with her.
She sat hugging the quilt, holding the soft baby in her arms, and her tears fell one drop at a time on Brother Qi's fair and tender face.
She wiped them away and couldn't stop her tears.
Xiaoyun comforted her: "Auntie, don't be sad. Brother Qi will be your legitimate son in the name of the young lady. This is a happy thing. The young lady will not prevent the child from being close to you."
Ru Ying knows that this is the truth, but as a mother, she cannot feed her own children, which is heartbreaking.
Brother Qi groaned and started crying too. Ruying thought the child was hungry, so she told Xiaoyun: "Go and call the wet nurse."
Xiaoyun immediately went to call the wet nurse.
The nanny came and immediately fed Brother Qi. Brother Qi choked his throat after taking two mouthfuls, cried and vomited out the milk.
Ru Ying's heart tightened and she told Xiaoyun: "Go and ask the doctor to come over and see if Brother Qi has a cold in his stomach."
"Yes, aunt."
Xiaoyun ran out in a hurry.
Suddenly, Brother Qi coughed several times, his fair face turned purple, and he suddenly died.
The wet nurse panicked and shouted: "Auntie, Brother Qi's face has changed and he has stopped moving..."
Ruying hugged the child and looked at Brother Qi in her arms. His face was bruised and purple, he could no longer hear his breathing, and his originally soft body became hard.
As if Ruying's heart had stopped beating, she patted Brother Qi's face in panic: "Son, son, open your eyes and look at mother, son, son..."
The wet nurse has nursed so many good children and has never encountered such a situation. She was already scared out of her wits.
The panic in her heart reached its peak when she couldn't get Brother Qi's reaction, her voice became more and more urgent, and her mind went blank.
Xiaoyun invited Dr. Zhang and also An Qien.
Doctor Zhang took Brother Qi's pulse and said with a serious expression, "Ma'am, please give it a try."
An Qi'en already knew that there was a high probability that he could not be saved, so she took Brother Qi's pulse.
Ruying looked at An Qi'en expectantly and asked, "Young madam, the eldest master Jiren has his own destiny, right? Is he just uncomfortable and asleep?"
She said that the young master has made his attitude clear, this is your An Qien's son, you won't let him die, right?
An Qi'en's face was heavy: "Fourth aunt is still young, so please accompany Brother Qi on his last journey."
This sentence happened to be heard by Qiao Jianghong and Mrs. Qiao who came.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, they heard the shocking news. Qiao Jianghong's legs went weak and he fell on the door railing. He was in a trance as if the sky had collapsed.
Fortunately, Mrs. Qiao was in a wheelchair, otherwise she would have collapsed long ago. Her heart ached as if the blood in her body was almost drained.
Ruying's frantic voice came from the room: "It's impossible, it's impossible, I was fine just now, how could I die while drinking milk? Madam, are you kidding me?"
"Brother Qi was smiling in my poor concubine's arms just now. Madam, he is your son. You have to save him..."
Ruying was very excited and could not accept the fact that her son was dead. She kept holding Brother Qi tightly in her arms...
Tomorrow is Brother Qi's full moon banquet, but he died today. No mother can bear this.
Ruying lost her mind and crazily hugged Brother Qi and sang a lullaby.
Mrs. Qiao was heartbroken to death, but she had more important matters to deal with at the moment. Everyone in her hometown had been notified of what to do about the banquet tomorrow. Some were on their way here, and some had already settled in Beijing.
How it ends is a trivial matter. The important thing is that Brother Qi has been doing well, so why did he suddenly die!
She must figure this out clearly!
