C92 Aunt Ling Is Premature
There were only seven days left until Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing's wedding date. Yu Longchen had already arranged everything and was waiting for the wedding.
Yu Longchen held the beauty in his left hand and the wine in his right hand in his cup. While he was playing, an uninvited guest came.
"Mistress, Eldest Prince has come to pay a visit." Changxu hurriedly ran in from outside the door.
“ Oh? What a rare guest." Yu Longchen put down his wine glass and looked at the beauty in his arms as he replied nonchalantly," Bring him here. Let Eldest Prince enjoy fine wine and delicacies as well... "
"Yes." Changxu glanced at the girl in Yu Longchen's arms and slowly retreated.
"Go and call Shuang and the other sisters over." Yu Longchen ordered the girl in his arms, "Accompany Eldest Prince."
"Yes, sir." The woman gave a charming smile, revealing half of her shoulder as she twisted her slim waist and retreated.
When Yu Longzi arrived, there were four or five servant girl on Yu Longchen's left and right in the pavilion. He held one, one played the zither, and the rest were dancing.
When they saw Yu Longzi, their eyes lit up. They had long heard that Eldest Prince had an extraordinary aura and a handsome face, but now that they saw him, they immediately blushed and revealed a shy expression. From time to time, they would tease Yu Longzi with their eyes.
"Big brother." Yu Longchen invited him to take a seat and immediately poured a cup of wine, "Shuang, take good care of Eldest Prince."
Yu Longzi looked up at Shuang. She was really as white as winter frost. Her appearance was not bad, but she was so ordinary. How could she catch my eyes? He put his hands on his knees. "Move aside!"
Shuang was stunned for a moment and covered her face as she smiled and said in a tender voice, "Main hall, let this servant accompany you."
"Do you not understand human language?" Yu Longzi put down the wine cup heavily.
The maids who were dancing and playing stopped and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Yu Longzi again.
Yu Longchen raised his eyebrows. What kind of crazy smoke was this? He let go of the girl in his arms and waved his hand. "All of you, withdraw. Eldest Prince is in a bad mood today!"
Only two people were left in the pavilion. Yu Longchen stepped on a stone bench with a long leg and looked at Yu Longzi with a wine glass in his hand. "What? He didn't dare to lose his temper in the Palace, so why did he come here to lose his temper? Don't scare my beauty."
"Where is the real Fourth Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate?" Yu Longzi sat upright and didn't make any other movements. He just looked at Yu Longchen.
"Fourth Miss is in the Prime Minister's residence." Yu Longchen raised his head and drank a cup of wine. "Why did you find her and not go to the Prime Minister's Residence? Why did you come to the Imperial Residence?"
"Don't you know? Why did this prince come here?"
"Could it be that Big Brother has fallen in love with my wife?"
Looking at Yu Longchen's indifferent face, Yu Longzi was stunned by the question. "So what? So what if it is not?"
"Then we have to congratulate Eldest Prince." Yu Longchen adjusted his sitting posture. "Because you can only watch her become my wife. Furthermore, Lau Fenglan can't beat her, so why did she come to me to denounce me? This king did not interfere."
" Where is Mu Ruqing exactly? " Yu Longzi's face darkened. He did not want to argue with him.
"She is where she should be." Yu Longchen stood up and casually threw the wine glass away. "Eldest Prince, enjoy yourself slowly. I feel dizzy after drinking too much, so I will take a rest first."
Yu Longzi looked at Yu Longchen's back and did not move for a long time. He was already sure that Fourth Miss from the Prime Minister's Estate was not real, but whether the real Mu Ruqing was alive or dead. Whether she was a human or a corpse, she was very useful to that person.
Yu Longzi knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her, but for some reason, he just wanted to ask Yu Longchen about Mu Ruqing. Whether she was alive or not, he wasn't sure in his heart.
The Prime Minister's Estate. Mu Ruqing took the silver ear soup and fed it into the old lady's mouth one bite at a time.
The old lady was fine but her spirit was half gone. Every day, Mu Ruqing would bring the food that she loved to eat. It was mixed with the medicine that Miao Yingyu gave.
The old lady loved Mu Ruqing very much. Such a filial daughter was rarely seen in the world. She could not help but to express her condolences. Then, she thought of Miao You and asked from time to time, "Where did You-er go?"
Mu Ruqing wiped the soup that spilled out of her mouth and replied with a smile, "Miss You's mother was seriously ill and resigned from her duties in the Prime Minister's Estate. She went home to serve her mother and her granddaughter thought that Miss You-er should also get married. Fortunately, her family found a good family for her. It is a small business in the capital."
"That's good too. Can't you delay your life for me, this old woman? " The old lady leaned on the reclining chair and looked outside the door. She seemed to be missing Miao You.
Mu Ruqing put down the bowl and massaged the old lady's shoulders, "Grandmother is not old at all. In the eyes of the granddaughter, grandmother will always be a flower!"
"You are the sweetest one." The old lady smiled and teased her, "It has been a long time since I went out. It just so happens that you are here. Let's go out for a walk."
"Okay." Mu Ruqing replied and supported the old lady by the side.
As they walked, they actually reached Mistress Ling's courtyard. Mu Ruqing rolled her eyes, "Grandmother, Mistress Ling has been pregnant for seven or eight months already, but how long will it take for her to have a little grandson? Grandmother's fortune is deep, she should go and take a look at Mistress Ling and add some blessings to her."
The old lady did not like Mistress Ling to begin with but she was after all her own grandson in her womb. Although she was not happy, what Mu Ruqing said made sense. Mu Ruqing supported her in and servant girl followed behind.
Just as they entered, servant girl who sent the message went to report. Mistress Ling propped up her large belly and went to the door to welcome them.
The old lady saw that it was not easy for her and her tone eased up a little, "You are not able to move, rest."
"Thank you, Madam." Mistress Ling was just a concubine and could not call the old lady her mother. She sat at the side and did not know what to say.
The old lady naturally thought that she was being neglectful and her expression became worse and worse. She could not pretend to smile, "How long until the basin arrives?"
"Madam, there are still two months." Mistress Ling was respectful and lowered her head to answer.
The old lady did not know what to say to her. She casually asked a few more questions and was about to leave. Mistress Ling went up to help her up and just touched her sleeve.
The old lady saw that she was cumbersome and kept her hands, "There is no need."
Mistress Ling closed her eyes painfully and fell down. At first glance, it looked like the old lady had pushed her.
"Ah. Ah!" Mistress Ling held her stomach and cried out in pain. Her head was covered in cold sweat. In a moment, Mistress Ling's skirt turned red.
" Aunt, aunt! " A few servant girl went forward to support her.
"What's wrong?" The old lady also became anxious. Mu Po's bone blood!
"Quickly pass the news to the prefectural doctor! Quickly!" Mu Ruqing also squatted down to support Mistress Ling and urgently shouted, "Also, invite Daoist Priest Yuan over."
"Yes! Yes!" Lingyue and Xiangyi got the order and ran out.
"Order a few wives to boil some hot water." Mu Ruqing calmly commanded, "Now Aunt is unable to move. Quickly go and get a few thick bedding and place it under Aunt."
The originally panicked people also did what Mu Ruqing ordered in an orderly manner. The old lady was supported to the chair by eldest servant girl. After thinking for a while, she ordered servant girl to invite Mu Po and Mrs Miao over.
The water was exchanged for basin after basin. The physician was also so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat. Mu Po was in the hall listening to Mistress Ling's painful cry. His heart was extremely anxious and his entire person became nervous. Mrs Miao also stood straight.
"Humph!" The old lady's face could not hold it anymore. "Could it be that you suspect that it was me who pushed her?"
"What did mother say?! How could a son dare to doubt his mother?" Mu Po immediately softened his stance. He now understood the situation. But no matter what, it was impossible for the old lady to do such a thing. What he was most worried about right now was whether the fetus and Mistress Ling could be saved.
"Then can't you just sit there? A man should be a man. How could he be so flustered?!" The old lady was extremely displeased as well, and her face darkened.
"Grandmother, calm down." Lau Fenglan naturally had to be the one to be solicitous. In the Prime Minister Estate, Lau Fenglan still had to rely on the old lady.
"That's right, grandmother. Perhaps little brother cannot wait to come out." Mu Ruqing also consoled.
The doctor came out of the screen and knelt down to beg for forgiveness. "Old lady, prime minister, madam. Aunt's fetus can't be saved... "
