Liu Dingmao stepped into the door and bumped into the third aunt who was unconscious again.

The crowd of onlookers quickly retreated.

The eldest wife, Chen Yufang, had already returned to the house.

Only Liu Xue was left standing alone beside the third aunt, crying with tears in her eyes.

Liu Dingmao didn't care about investigating the matter, and hurriedly called Steward Liu to ask for a doctor.

It's still Dr. Zhang, but he came an hour later than expected, saying that he went to the clinic and went around several houses to find someone.

Dr. Zhang checked the pulse and shook his head with a wry smile, "Obviously my body is very weak, why do you want to toss it repeatedly, I clearly said that it is called to rest in bed, and the patient did not follow the doctor's instructions at all." Now—" he shook his head, "it depends on how the pregnant woman cooperates, if she can cooperate well, take medicine, eat, and be in a stable mood, and stop worrying and frightening, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope—"

Liu Ding Mao slumped in his chair.

Next, he guarded the third aunt, and personally watched Lan Rui suffer for the third aunt, and he wanted to feed the medicine with his own hands.

The third aunt actually closed her lips tightly, and Liu Dingmao repeatedly tested a spoonful of medicinal soup on her lips, she just didn't open her mouth, didn't eat, and didn't swallow. She was awake, but she didn't open her eyes, and the tears slipped down her eyelashes.

"Why don't you eat?" Liu Dingmao sat for a long time and was sleepy, changed his posture and lay on the side of the pillow, "You hurry up and take the medicine, you must get better, and give birth to the child safely." You know, our Liu family is thin, and Dr. Xie once said that you are pregnant with a male fetus. You don't know how important your baby is to me—"

The third aunt suddenly opened her eyes, her tears faded, her eyes were misty, and she asked, "Why don't you punish them? ”

Liu Dingmao: "It's fine, I've already passed the word, Mama Li, beat the board and deduct three months." There are also those mothers-in-law, each of whom beat a board and drove out of the house. ”

The third aunt's eyes were too cold: "Why don't you get rid of Mama Li?

Liu Dingmao smiled bitterly, "She is from the middle courtyard, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, you don't understand this truth." Besides, aren't you okay here? ”

"I'm okay?" The third aunt sat up suddenly, with resentment in her eyes, she looked at the man in front of her in some surprise, this is her husband, this man who has always been his backer, he has been forced to be like this, he can still say such things, and his tone, where does he care about her aunt, what he really cares about is the son in her womb.

Looking at what he meant, she is fighting for this life to give birth to a child, he needs a son, and his Liu family needs incense.

What a selfish man.

She actually wants to give birth to the child, but she has a hunch that she may not be able to do it, and this little life hidden in her body may not be able to give birth to herself, because her body is really close to the point of running out of oil and running out.

"Lan Rui—" The third aunt shouted, her gaze over Liu Dingmao in front of her. Lan Rui ran in. In order to protect the third aunt, she was also beaten and bullied by Mother Li and those mothers-in-law, and her face was covered with injuries.

"You suffered with me. The third aunt stretched out her hand to touch Lan Rui's face, but Master Liu was in front of her, Lan Rui didn't dare to cry, but just grabbed the third aunt's hand, "The slave has no ability and didn't protect you." ”

The third aunt smiled too bitterly, "Silly boy, as half a master, I can't even protect myself, how can I blame you-come, feed me medicine-"

She was finally willing to take the pills.

Lan Rui hurriedly brought it over.

The third aunt really sat up and drank a bowl in a big gulp, then lay down and fell asleep, looking at Liu Dingmao: "This time you can rest assured, I will work hard to keep our children." ”

Liu Dingmao really relieved himself and touched the third aunt's face, "Then you take care of it, I'll go and see Bao'er, I've been so busy these days that I haven't been with Bao'er well." ”

The third aunt watched him walk out of Mufeng Ju.

The third aunt's too-good-looking face showed a helpless wry smile.

Leaving in such a hurry shows that he still has no status in this man's heart, his eldest wife is the original match, a young lady from a big family, he doesn't dare to offend, his ninth aunt is too young and beautiful, and the ninth aunt's child is a sweetheart, he can't leave them for a moment, so what is he? In fact, it's nothing, to put it bluntly, it's an ordinary woman who is pregnant with his species, one of his many aunts. Even if other aunts and wives don't have sons, they still have a few daughters in front of them, and they can still spend lonely days together, but they have survived all these years alone, pregnant with one and died, and they have worked hard until the end, and it is still empty. This time, I finally got pregnant again, but I couldn't keep it. But he didn't have the slightest intention of doing justice for her. With such a man and such a day, is there any hope in the future?

She was in deep despair.

As long as the eldest wife is alive, as long as the eldest lady can still get up and walk, then even if they give birth to the child, how long can their mother and child live in the palm of the eldest wife's hands?

"Lan Rui," the third aunt gritted her mouth full of silver teeth and made up her mind, "I want to write a letter, and you will find a way to find a safe person to send it out." ”

Lan Rui didn't understand, when was this, if she didn't take care of her body and protect the fetus, what kind of letter would she write.

Did you want to write a letter to your mother's family in Cheongju Mansion asking for help?

When it comes to the third aunt's maiden family, Lan Rui herself feels that there is no hope, the third aunt's family is originally an ordinary family, and there is no big power, so she let her daughter enter Liufu to be an aunt's wife. Later, the third aunt's parents died, and the remaining brothers and brothers were already much more distant from this sister, plus the Qingzhou Mansion was so far away, so the two sides only moved around once in several years.

Now that I am rashly writing back, can my mother's family rush to help the third aunt?

Besides, the disparity between that side and Liufu is really big, and the third aunt's maiden brothers definitely don't have the courage to ask for anything for their sister.

If you can help, you have already helped all these years.

The third aunt had already sat up, attached to the small wooden table, and watched Lan Rui take something, a small porcelain bowl, and a piece of white silk cloth. They were brought at her command.

Lan Rui was a little worried, "Third aunt, are you ......?"

The third aunt nodded, "Yes, only in this way can we touch her heart, and she can do everything she can to rush back to save our lives." ”

She?

Lan Rui reminisced, her heart lit up, and a bright smile appeared on her originally sad little face, "Third aunt, this is a good idea, the slave must find a way to deliver the letter." ”

The third aunt bit a finger and watched the blood drip into the bowl.

Lan Rui was anxious, and also bit her middle finger, and the blood of the two people dripped into the bowl together.

The third aunt plucked the hairpin from her head, dipped the tip of the hairpin in blood, and wrote it stroke by stroke. She was weak and wrote very hard, but fortunately there were not many words, and when she finished writing, she was already sweating, and Lan Rui was also nervous and sweating.

Lan Rui saw that the blood on the white cloth was completely dry, carefully folded it, put it into a small oilcloth bag, and tied it tightly with a coarse cloth, after it got dark, Lan Rui took a golden hairpin given by the third aunt, ten taels of silver, together with the blood letter, and quietly knocked on the door of the firewood room.

Qiao's mother pinched the small bag handed by Lan Rui, and then looked at the generous reward, she was in a dilemma, don't accept it, covet these belongings, take it, she knows that this is a big risk. If you are caught by Steward Liu, Li Ma and others, you will be finished. It doesn't matter who the child will rely on in the future.

Originally, the eldest lady was very good to her monster-like child, saying that the child had a good life, and could bless the brother in the eldest wife's belly to be born safely and grow up smoothly, and she would be asked to hold the child over to talk to the eldest lady and relax, and the eldest lady also said that when the child was born, let the two children grow up and play together, but I didn't expect the eldest lady to have a miscarriage.

Since the eldest lady had a miscarriage, the middle court has never called her to carry the child over, and she herself feels that her ugly son is not suitable to go to the eldest lady to hang around, so she only keeps the child tightly in this small firewood room.

Lan Rui saw that Qiao's mother was still hesitating, she closed the door of the firewood room, and then slowly opened the small baggage.

Qiao's mother watched, and the burden was peeled off layer by layer, revealing a blood-stained white cloth.

"It looks like it's written in blood, but unfortunately I can't read. Qiao's mother was frightened and retreated again and again.

Lan Rui grabbed Qiao's mother's arm, her body slowly lowered, and she knelt in front of Qiao's mother.

Qiao's mother hurriedly stopped: "Girl, I can't help it, what are you doing? I'm a rough poor old woman, how can I afford to be a girl like this?"

Lan Rui had tears in her eyes, broke free from Qiao's mother's hand, still knelt down, kowtowed, and seriously kowtowed three times before she stood up and said: "Qiao's mother, you have to save people, the mother and son have two lives, we are trapped here, the third aunt's mother's house is far away, and we don't have a reliable person to help, I want to fight for this life to send this letter out, but the third aunt is now waiting for me alone, if I escape, what can the third aunt do, I dare not go." So I can only beg you. You did rough work, and you pulled a child, and you left, and no one noticed for three or five days, and when everyone found out, you were already far away. So—"

Qiao's mother hesitated even more, "I'm a lonely widow, I want to take my children to secretly go out together, I don't dare, I'm afraid-"

"You hire a carriage, and the mother and son go straight to a place called Liang Yan under the rule of Liang Zhou, and when they arrived at Liang Yan to inquire about Shan Maozi, the last letter sent back by Wan Ge'er said that they were in the Forgotten Pagoda of Shan Maozi. ”

Qiao's mother still didn't understand: "You asked me to send the blood letter to Brother Wan?"

"Yes, the dumb aunt who accompanied Brother Wan to pray for blessings and recuperation is also there, waiting for you to see her, your son's illness, maybe she will help you deal with it. ”

It turned out to be looking for her.

Qiao's mother's eyes suddenly became gentle, and when she talked about that little girl, to be honest, she really couldn't wait to see her at this moment. However, if she wants to leave Liufu and take her son to find her secretly, this mountain is high and the road is far away, in case ......

Besides, it wasn't the lord and the eldest lady who sent her out, but secretly helped the third aunt deliver the letter, who in Liufu didn't know that the third aunt was in a difficult situation now, and the eldest lady tried to kill the child in her belly five times, and at this time, she rashly helped the third aunt, can there be a good result?

Lan Rui wrapped the silver, the golden hairpin and the letter together, stuffed them into her arms, turned around to leave, walked to the door, but did not leave, looked back at Qiao's mother, and said, "Qiao's mother, the last sentence, I said you don't have to be careful." The truth is hard to hear, but there is a truth to it. ”

As he spoke, he walked around on the ground, turned around an earthen wall, and in the swaddling clothes on the bed behind him was Qiao's mother's child, who was sleeping soundly, and the exposed half of his face was hideous and terrifying.

Lan Rui looked at the child's face and said, "Actually, it's not just us Mu Fengju whose fate is hanging by a thread now, but also you and this child, Mother Qiao." Have you thought about it, in the past, the middle court did not dislike your mother and son, all because of what the dumb aunt said, this child can bless the eldest lady's sister-in-law to be safe and sound, so even if the child looks ugly, the eldest lady does not dislike it. Now, the eldest lady's child is gone, so you child...... You never thought that if Mrs. Grande remembered his strange appearance one day, and the rumors that were circulating in the past, if it was brought up again, then I was afraid that it would ......"

Qiao's mother's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly stopped: "Don't say it." ”

Lan Rui looked at Qiao's mother quietly. The third aunt is really powerful, and the words she ordered are really useful, and she grabbed Qiao's mother's key point as soon as she said it.

Qiao's mother finally changed her mind, fumbled with the silver and golden hairpin in her hand, and nodded: "I'll go." That's enough money to spend all the way. ”

Lan Rui stuffed the letter into Qiao's mother's arms: "You must hide it." The safety of Mu Fengju is entrusted to you. When are you going to go out?"

Qiao's mother was woken up, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, who else was the most dangerous person in this house besides the third aunt, that is, her mother and son! The third aunt was an aunt after all, and she was still pregnant with the old man's child in her belly, and the eldest lady didn't dare to obviously do anything to her. As for herself, as long as the eldest lady suddenly remembers that her son did not bless other people's children to survive safely, as long as she gives an order, dealing with her mother and son is not as simple as pinching an ant to death.

She had to go, go overnight, and escape here with her son.
