After settling this matter with King Qi, I didn't want to go out and join those banquets anymore, so I used the hot weather as an excuse to stay out in the summer.

The Jiang sisters could not help but think that I was annoyed by the abrupt trip to the lake, so they invited me even more courteously. They even ignored Lady Jiang's restraints on their marriage, and often brought me letters and some food and toys, instead letting my wife, who was by her side, help me ask her if anything had happened to her.

How could I tell her that?

He could only say that because Lady Jiang wants to marry into a distant family, she can't bear to part with me. That's why she's so loyal and righteous.

Big Miss Jiang's letter flew home like a piece of paper. It was full of explanations of what happened that day, so much so that Young Master Jiang was full of sincerity and love. If I were the same one from ten years ago, I'm not even sure if I'd be tempted by it or not. This close association also attracted Grandmother's attention. Thinking that Grandmother already knew the whole story of that day, I didn't hide it from her and showed the letters to her to relieve my boredom.

Grandmother touched the letters and said regretfully, "It's such a pity that this child is so naïve. When he comes to my family, I'm afraid he will still suffer."

Whose daughter-in-law, after knowing the fortune of the young man in embroidered clothes, had begun to place all her hopes of her later half of her life onto him?

Women had to live through this, only then could they see that they were the true hope of life!

The leisurely days passed until August, and the weather gradually cooled down. Aunt Chen was now six months pregnant, with a belly as big as a ball. Grandmother did not want to see her directly as an aunt, but she worried about her body, so I acted as one of the messengers.

"What do you think of her?" When I came back, my grandmother was sitting on the kang eating melon seeds.

In the past, Grandmother always thought I was a child, so she tried to make me avoid such an occasion. With the Jiang family's proposal, Grandmother seemed to have made up her mind to let me shoulder the responsibility, and she offered to let me see if it was proper for Aunt Chen to help.

"I look very well at my aunt!" The autumn noon is still warm, so Hong Chang used a towel to wipe my face: It's just that my aunt's stomach is so big that it's scary! Are they twins? "

Grandmother couldn't help laughing at my speculation. "What does a little girl like you know!"

Not only do I know a little girl like myself, I've even been pregnant myself!

"It's normal for you to be older and smaller, but how can you make such a big fuss over nothing!"

"My grandmother is so knowledgeable!" I had no intention of arguing with my grandmother about this. I smiled and praised my grandmother, making her happy.

Unfortunately, things were not as simple as Grandmother had expected them to be. Not only did Aunt Chen not give birth as smoothly as we had expected, but she made a ruckus in the early hours of the morning of the second day of my visit.

At that time, I was sleeping soundly and was shaken up by the Green Bandits. I whispered into my ear, "Young miss, it's bad!" When Aunt Chen's face turned red, the old granny's side had already started causing a ruckus! "

After I heard that, I came to my senses. I hurriedly stood up and asked, "Are you sure you can say that?" Are there any letters now? "

"How can this be?!" "It was one of our men who came to talk! There's no letter sent over right now, and they only said that the odds are against us. "

Grandmother planted a spy in my yard, but it was a clear line. The maidservants I bought in Grandmother's yard never let Grandmother find out, as they were usually only used to send messages. The people the Green Bandits were referring to were probably these few young maidservants.

"Pour me a cup of tea!"

I could not help but feel depressed.

Why do these children have so many mishaps when they were born into this world?

I hope this child can be saved!

"Miss, do you think that something will happen to Madame Chen?" The green bandit poured tea and, seeing me leaning on the headboard in my clothes and not going back to sleep on the kang by the window, sat on my feet and chatted with me.

Red Dew and Green Bandits could be considered to have grown up together, but their relationship with Lu Ping was not as good as the relationship between them. Right now, it was normal for them to be at a loss rather than worry.

"I don't know either!"

It was clearly a cup of hot tea, but holding it in my hand made me feel a little cold.

After waiting for an entire two hours, there was still no news yet. I instructed the Lu Kuo, "80% of them are fine! Let's sleep! "I'll wake up earlier tomorrow!"

The green bandit hurriedly poured water for me to rinse my mouth, then moved the light to clear my tent.

She could only hear the sound of her turning over in the night outside.

Seeing the sun slowly lighting up the new window screen, I narrowed my eyes and fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, Green Bandits was already dressed neatly. He stood in front of the bed and called out to me, "Young Miss, it's time to wake up!"

Entering the screen, I saw the pink veil on the clothes rack, I couldn't help but frown, pointing at the clothes: "How can you wear such clothes, quickly change into a clean one."

The others did not know the reason, but the green koran was aware of it. They hurriedly did as I told them and changed into their clothes for me to wear.

I arrived at my grandmother's room an hour earlier than usual, just in time for my grandmother and mother to have breakfast together, and was surprised to see me come in.

"Why are you here so early today?" The moment my grandmother looked up, I saw the sun shining down on her white hair, which was hidden beneath her black hair.

My heart ached, but I couldn't show it on my face. I lowered my head and said, "When I was combing my hair this morning, I heard that Aunt was feeling a little uncomfortable. I came earlier to see if I could help!"

"Foolish!" Before his grandmother could say anything, his mother angrily slammed the table and said, "This is something that you can handle! What's wrong with this family? One or two of them are so unruly! "

Mother's words sounded like a complaint, but they meant a lot.

In the recent days, Grandmother had more or less taken over some Inner Court affairs, the most important of which was taking care of Aunt Chen. Now that Aunt Chen was in trouble, and her mother had said so, it was clear that the blame was completely placed on her grandmother.

Grandmother didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and took a sip of porridge. From my point of view, her eyes were a bit red.

"I am only serving my grandmother, how could I reach into her room?" I can think of myself in my own half-sour sarcasm.

"You!" Mother slammed the table in anger, while the chopsticks and bowls on the table clanged.

"You are also a man of high expectations, it's only right that you have a good temper!" I didn't give in at all. "With your fiery temper, how are you going to take care of your younger brothers in the future?"

When I spoke of my brothers, my mother's eyes were bloodshot. She glared at me like a wolf staring at its prey on the prairie.

You may not know this, but my good father has already given you three sons!

Thinking about how my mother greeted all of my sons, I couldn't help but feel happy.

All three of my brothers have a good face, very much like their mother, the graceful lady from the outer room.

"You little bastard, what are those whiskers!" The veins on her mother's forehead were popping out, she didn't even notice that her mother, Feng, was winking at her.

Helpless, Feng's mother pulled her mother's sleeve in front of everyone's eyes. She didn't want to be thrown away by her mother, so she returned to her mother's side with a miserable face.

"Lady Qing, I think you'll have to keep your heart at rest!" The frail moment just now was like a dream. Now, the grandmother raised her head and saw that it was still that dignified old lady from the Yang family.

"Let's go!" His grandmother had only said one sentence before his mother stood up. She was so angry that her mother didn't even wait for him before she quickly left the room.

In the past, although his mother was straightforward and irritable, she had never been like this before.

I couldn't help but be very surprised.

Perhaps it was because she came from an official family, but her mother cared a lot about her reputation. Because of this, his mother had suppressed many times of impatience.

It was the mother I did not remember.

"Old lady, look …" Mama Du came over with a bowl of porridge and led me to the place where my mother had been sitting.

Grandmother actually grinned coldly.

"It looks pretty close!"

"Then should I...?" Mother Du stopped.

I didn't understand a word.

Originally, I wanted to wait a while for the doctor to come over and take a look, but I didn't want her …" Forget it, just let her do as she pleases! " Grandmother's face was a little pale, and when paired with such a cold expression, it made her seem even more ancient.

I really didn't have much interest in my mother, so I followed the topic. After Mama Du and Grandmother finished talking, I hurriedly asked, "How is Aunt doing?"

Grandmother's expression instantly darkened.

"It wasn't good to go out last night to get a doctor. I only found a midwife to look after the baby and smoked it before saving it."

Grandmother really looked forward to this child. When the concubine was only five months pregnant, the three midwives and two tits had already moved into the side room at the back of Lady Chen's courtyard, waiting for her to give birth.

"How do you know how to smoke?" I asked in astonishment, "It's only been six months!"

It was better if I didn't ask, but as soon as I asked, my grandmother's face turned even more ashen. She tightly pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

Could it be …

My heart went cold by half when I thought of Aunt Chen's abnormally rosy complexion and belly, which was far bigger than a normal pregnant woman's.

No way!

Although Aunt Chen was sometimes a bit confused when she did things, she absolutely did not need to be so muddle-headed.

Which mother would bet the life of her child in her womb?

"Don't think too much about it!" Grandmother put a piece of egg yam cake into my bowl and said, "When the doctor comes, we just don't want to know. Can you still cover your ears and not listen?"

Hearing my grandmother's slightly sarcastic tone, what else could I not understand?
