"Come on, Ke Yuan, let's get something to eat quickly."
"Um."
Xu Keyuan nodded.
He took the chopsticks and food handed over by Grandma Fan, lowered his head and just took a bite when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He remained silent, carefully distinguishing the taste of the food... Suddenly, he couldn't help but shiver, and his whole body was as cold as ice...
He raised his head and tried to maintain his composure to look at Aunt Fan. His nose was sore and his voice was trembling, "Auntie, is there really no other way?"
Grandma Fan wiped away her tears and shook her head.
Touching Xu Keyuan's head distressedly, she sighed, "Child, don't blame me, I can't help it. Rather than letting you fall into the hands of Xiao Chongjing and suffer all kinds of torture, it would be better for me to do it myself, so that you can be happy..."
As she said that, she took the chopsticks from Xu Keyuan's hand, gave him a piece of chicken leg, and advised him in a trembling voice: "Child, eat. Go to your mother when you are full, and don't starve to death."
"aunt……"
Xu Keyuan's mood was complicated.
He knew in his heart that what Nanny Fan said was right, and he knew that his life would be worse than death if he fell into Xiao Chongjing's hands, but he still felt a sense of resentment in his heart...
So he bit Grandma Fan's arm hard, grabbed the chopsticks, and picked up the rice with tears in her eyes...
Yaochun Garden.
Xiao Chongjing looked at Ah Su in disbelief, "What did you say? Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Ah Su nodded with certainty. "I not only asked the doctor about this, but also asked some elderly people in the house. According to what they said, Xu Keyuan is indeed Grandma Fan's nephew.
When Xu Keyuan was able to enter the pharmacy as an apprentice, he relied on Grandma Fan's connections. "
"Mother Fan..."
Xiao Chongjing frowned unconsciously when he mentioned this name.
He didn't understand. Grandma Fan was the closest person to his mother. She had been loyal to her for many years. How could this matter have anything to do with her?
There is no grievance or grudge, there is no reason for her to do this...
besides……
Xiao Chongjing frowned and thought, and suddenly thought of his mother.
So hesitantly, he asked Xiang Asu, "Does my mother know about the relationship between Grandma Fan and Xu Keyuan?"
"Should have known better."
Seeing that this matter was related to Xiao Chongjing's mother, Ah Su weighed his words and answered very carefully, "At the beginning, Grandma Fan was just a maid. Without the old lady's nod, Xu Keyuan would definitely not be able to enter the pharmacy...
However, now that twenty years have passed, the old lady and she are so noble and forgetful, and there is a high probability that they have already forgotten this little person Xu Keyuan..."
"Too."
Xiao Zhong nodded, secretly blaming himself for being careless.
With her mother's indifferent nature and her focus on burning incense, she must have forgotten Xu Keyuan long ago.
It's no wonder that when she saw Xu Keyuan today, there was no reaction on her face at all, as if she was looking at someone she didn't know...
but……
Mom, as an old lady of the General's Mansion, it is normal for her not to react to an apprentice whom she helped casually twenty years ago.
But why does Aunt Fan, her biological aunt, not respond at all to her own nephew?
Thinking back to Grandma Fan's cold behavior after seeing Xu Keyuan during the day, Xiao Chongjing frowned and felt something was wrong.
According to common sense, as an aunt, when Nanny Fan saw her nephew's ears cut off, shouldn't she be shocked and plead for mercy?
But she didn't even ask...
Thinking of this, Xiao Chongjing's heart skipped a beat. He stood up suddenly, took Ah Su, and headed towards the woodshed overnight...
Arriving at the unguarded woodshed, Xiao Chongjing had an inexplicable foreboding feeling in his heart - Qingshouyuan brought people here, how could there be no guards?
He frowned and glanced at A Su.
Ah Su hurriedly stepped forward, kicked the door open, and quickly walked in to take a look...
Sure enough, Xu Keyuan was lying stiffly on the ground, his lips were purple and cold...
Seeing this scene, Ah Su's heart sank.
He knelt down and apologized to Xiao Chongjing, "I'm sorry, General. It's all my fault for neglecting my duty. I even forgot to send someone to guard the woodshed..."
"That's all."
Xiao Chongjing sighed and did not pursue further.
He knew that A Su was not entirely to blame for this matter.
Ah Su was busy checking Xu Keyuan's origins. He should send someone else to deal with this matter.
It's just that he was immersed in pain at the time and didn't think so much. I never expected that the Qingshou Garden would be unclean and there would be a traitor...
The night wind blew, and Xiao Chongjing felt a chill in his heart.
Then he looked at Ah Su and ordered in a deep voice, "At any cost, we must find out who has been here tonight... Also, find out who transferred the guards of Qingshou Garden..."
"yes."
Ah Su nodded in agreement and immediately started taking action.
Cage Smoke Pavilion.
Pomegranate placed the newly received miscarriage decoction on the table and comforted Yin Xiaoju: "Auntie, don't worry. I boiled the decoction this time under my own watch. It must be fine."
"Well, leave it there."
Yin Xiaorou smiled and nodded.
After Pomegranate left, she stood up and poured the decoction into Gong's bucket without hesitation.
On the one hand, given her situation, she couldn't trust anyone in the general's mansion, including Shiliu.
On the other hand, even if Pomegranate is telling the truth, what can she tell by staring at a little maid who doesn't understand pharmacology?
She can't understand it...
At present, the matter of tocolytic drugs is undecided.
Before Xia He gave the results, she could not act rashly.
She must ensure that this baby is delivered safely, so that her child will be Xiao Chongjing's only child in this life.
From now on, Xiao Chongjing was completely tied to the same boat as her.
On the contrary, if this pregnancy cannot be saved, all her previous efforts will be in vain.
Xiao Chongjing already knew about his sterilization, and she would not have a second chance to conceive in the future...
Thinking of this, Yin Xiaorou couldn't help but get angry.
It's true that Xu Keyuan just prescribes medicine, and he doesn't know how to use his hands and feet.
It happened that Xiao Chongjing discovered it...
Alas, the old saying that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other is indeed true.
Although Xu Keyuan's poisoning left no room for failure in her pregnancy. But at the same time, it also reminded her that there might be something wrong with the miscarriage...
Yin Xiaorou secretly wondered, who in the general's mansion hated Xiao Chongjing so much?
While giving Xiao Chongjing the anti-pregnancy medicine, he was also making fuss about her fertility medicine. This was obviously because he wanted Xiao Chongjing to die off his children...
Is it her?
Yin Xiaorou's mind immediately thought of Ruan Yunluo.
But recalling Ruan Yunluo's secret reminder today in Yaochun Garden, she felt that it was not the case.
How could Ruan Yunluo, a good wife and mother, be willing to do that kind of thing to Xiao Chongjing?
Impossible, impossible...
The next day, Yaochun Garden.
Listening to Ah Su's report, Xiao Chongjing frowned, "You mean, the person who transferred the guard was Grandma Fan?"
"yes."
Asu nodded.
To be cautious, he thought for a while and then said: "However, after Granny Fan gave the order yesterday, she also went back with the guards and did not stay in the woodshed."
"Then did she go there again?"
"this……"
Ah Su shook his head hesitantly, "I'm not sure if she went to the woodshed again. But I asked, and no one seemed to see her again for a while after that..."
"What a coincidence..."
Xiao Chongjing frowned and thought for a moment.
Suddenly, he stood up with a sullen face and said, "Let's go to Qingshou Garden."
