Liu Dingmao hurried over with his clothes on, and he was shocked when he saw it, "Okay, what's wrong with this?
Lan Mei quickly ordered a few more large waxes, and suddenly brightened the room.
Liu Dingmao took a closer look, the eldest lady's face was sallow, her body curled up in a ball, and when she saw that Liu Dingmao finally came, she reached out and grabbed him, and cried with a whimper.
Liu Dingmao hurriedly hugged and reached out to touch her, she was sweating all over her face, sweat soaked her sideburns, her sweat and tears flowed together, hugging Liu Dingmao and crying: "Master, help--I can't survive--stomach pain, the same as a knife-our child, I'm afraid I can't save it-"
Liu Dingmao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he saw that his wife was really in danger, and hurriedly shouted: "Go and ask Doctor Xie - it's been fine during the day, what's wrong with you? Didn't Doctor Xie say that the child is developing very well and is quite strong, why does it hurt?"
Chen Yufang didn't speak, just cried, rolling and struggling in her husband's arms, her face became whiter and whiter, as white as a piece of paper.
Mother Li, Lan Mei and other servant maids were frightened one by one, running in and out, only hating this Steward Liu's pace was too slow, why did he go so many times and still didn't invite Dr. Xie?
"Isn't it wrong to eat somewhere? Didn't I accompany you for dinner?" asked Liu Dingmao.
Chen Yufang wiped away her tears, "Xie, isn't Doctor Xie here yet?"
As soon as the door was dark, Steward Liu rushed in, he was so anxious that he forgot that he couldn't just break into the master's bedroom, and stammered: "Old lady, Doctor Xie is not coming - he refuses to go to the doctor for the eldest lady." ”
Liu Dingmao was taken aback: "Steward Liu is not allowed to talk nonsense, is Dr. Xie not at home? How can he refuse to go to the doctor? Didn't you tell him that it was bad to be the eldest wife?"
Lan Mei and the others were also surprised, was Steward Liu in a hurry to talk nonsense, Dr. Xie is the eldest wife's dearest, and for many years, the body of the family in the house has been treated by Dr. Xie, how could he suddenly refuse to go to the doctor for the eldest wife?
Steward Liu's face was full of grievances: "Doctor Xie really said that, and he also said - and ......"
"What else are you talking about?" Chen Yufang endured the pain and propped herself up.
Steward Liu simply gritted his teeth and told the truth: "He said that the eldest lady tasted the bitter fruit brewed by himself, and in the future, he will be separated from our house and will never set foot in our house again." ”
What is this called?
Lan Mei covered her mouth first, she was afraid that she would exclaim, is Doctor Xie crazy, how could such ugly words come out of the mouth of the usually gentle and elegant Doctor Xie?
But how could Steward Liu, who has always been safe, talk nonsense?
"What is this-" Liu Dingmao shouted, and immediately made a decision: "Since he doesn't come, go and invite someone else, this Lingzhou Mansion is not just a doctor!"
Steward Liu dodged away: "I was invited early-I was just afraid of delaying my condition, so I didn't dare to come back from Dr. Xie's house, so I invited Dr. Zhang to come nearby." ”
Dr. Zhang really stood outside the door and waited.
Liu Dingmao rushed to ask Dr. Zhang like a savior, "Doctor Zhang, you must keep this child, this is the most expensive child in our Liu family - I am over half a hundred years old, and I have not yet had a son." ”
When Chen Yufang heard this, a smile of relief appeared on her sweaty face.
Doctor Zhang took the pulse, retreated, lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at the eldest lady's face, but gave a conclusion: "Back to Master Liu, Mrs. Xian is poisoned." I will give the needle to treat it, but there is no guarantee that I will be able to hold the baby in my womb. ”
"How could it be poisoned? Where did the poison come from?" Liu Dingmao's face changed drastically.
Dr. Zhang shook his head: "I can't see this for a while." Think about it, what poisonous things have you given to pregnant women in this hour?"
reminded Liu Dingmao, he suddenly changed his face and looked at a few maids: "What did you give your wife to eat?"
Lan Mei and Lan Xin knelt down at the same time, Lan Xin panicked first, and stammered: "I didn't eat anything else - dinner is the same as you, master, and I eat the same meal - if there is anything different, that is, I ate a small half bowl of rock sugar pears marinated in snow water before going to bed." ”
Lan Mei also followed up and added: "That's it, the eldest lady had a stomachache after eating it for half an hour-no, the porcelain bowl and spoon with Sydney are still there-"
Steward Liu held the bowl and showed it to Dr. Zhang.
Dr. Zhang tried it with a silver needle, but he didn't see any obvious changes.
"There must be something wrong with this Sydney-" Li's mother suddenly kowtowed and cried: "The poison has made the eldest lady eat into her stomach, how can there be a little left in the bowl? It's her, she is assassinating the eldest wife, she doesn't want to see the eldest lady give birth to her brother safely, and when the eldest lady has the eldest son, the child in her belly will have no hope--so she hates the eldest lady, so she poisons us!"
Chen Yufang suddenly interjected: "Master, I'm in so much pain—Mother Li is not allowed to talk nonsense, the third aunt is too kind to give me her own handmade rock sugar pear, how could she harm me? Who doesn't know that she is the kindest person—our sisters have always been close, and there will never be such a thing—ouch, ouch, it hurts me to death-" She really hurt, and she rolled around with her stomach.
"Did she give you rock candy pears?" Liu Dingmao was very surprised and angry, and his usual gentle face was distorted by anger, "It's all this time, and you are still protecting that vicious woman? You are really virtuous! Steward Liu, go and invite the third aunt and wife of Shuanghe Hall to me, and ask her to kneel for me outside the door, tonight Yufang's child is really going to have a mistake, I asked her to pay for this child's life!"
Steward Liu flew away.
Chen Yufang screamed again in pain, and Dr. Zhang wiped the sweat on his forehead while trembling and pricking the needle, and prescribed a prescription to go and boil the decoction.
Lan Mei helped the eldest lady tidy up her messy clothes, and just lifted her skirt, she shouted.
"Are you red?" asked Dr. Zhang.
"That's a lot of blood—" Lan Mei turned white in fright, stretched out a hand, and it was really red.
"The child can't be saved—" Dr. Zhang shook his head.
"My child—sir, you save our child—" Chen Yufang still cared about maintaining the reserve of the eldest wife of a big family in front of Dr. Zhang, an outsider, and cried without any image.
Outside the door, there were mixed footsteps and noisy voices, and the aunts and wives in all the houses and courtyards rushed to hear the sound.
"Are you here to see the excitement? to see my jokes?" Chen Yufang heard the voice of Yingying Yanyan outside the door, and suddenly became even more painful, and cried: "Drive away, drive me away-where are the fox spirits coming to see me, it's to see the joke-"
Liu Dingmao was helpless to take this sloppy woman, and Dr. Zhang was also a little surprised, and he couldn't imagine that the good show in the mansion door would be torn off his face like this.
The eldest lady was grunting with blood and water, and even her coat was wet, Dr. Zhang hurriedly exited the door, and Li Ma and others hurriedly dealt with it.
The third aunt of Shuanghe Hall had already fallen asleep, but she was suddenly called by Steward Liu and brought here, she just entered the door of the middle courtyard, and before she understood what was going on, she heard bad news from the door: The eldest lady had a miscarriage-
"It's a pity—it's a pity—a boy with all his features—and his hair can be black—"
Mama Li came out with a sad face and poured blood, shaking her head and sighing.
She had a miscarriage, and she called me here in the middle of the night? What does that mean?
The third aunt suddenly felt a cold current, and her legs were also weak, and she leaned softly against Lan Rui.
Liu Dingmao rushed behind the curtain to take a look at the child, a formed baby, covered in bruises, and just dead. His heart was broken, the pain was unbearable, and he suddenly rushed out of the door, and when he saw the third aunt standing in a daze, he seemed to have found an outlet to vent, and pointed at it and scolded: "It's all you—you poisonous woman, you actually poisoned my sister-in-law—you just kneel there to atone for your sins——, don't get up all night——"
"Master, where is this? The concubine doesn't know anything-" The third aunt hurriedly shouted.
"Are you wronged? Let me ask you, what kind of rock sugar pears are pickled in snow water, did you make up them?"
The third aunt nodded, she did make this cough suppressant formula.
"She just ate your rock candy Sydney pear and had an abortion, you did a good thing!"
Liu Dingmao angrily threw the curtain and went in to see the eldest wife, not giving the third aunt a chance to defend herself.
The third aunt was too stupid to stay in place, looking at her maid ring, Lan Rui was already frightened, and stammered: "Yes, an hour ago, Lan Mei suddenly came to knock on the door, saying that she wanted to find a little rock sugar pears that you sealed to give the eldest lady cough, the slave and maid thought that you were resting, so they didn't alarm you, the slave and maid took a little, and the slave and maid didn't harm anyone——"
Kneeled, kowtowed, and cried.
The third aunt slowly knelt down and sighed: "You-you--alas, I don't blame you, this is obviously a method that has been prepared for a long time, how can my rock sugar Sydney pear be poisonous, I have been taking it myself, I can only say that our master and servant are too stupid and have fallen into other people's traps——"
A few aunts and wives who were hiding in the shadows outside the door and did not leave suddenly whispered: "Is she using the child in her belly as bait to design harm people?
Dr. Zhang is gone.
Liu Dingmao accompanied the eldest lady in the bedroom and did not come out all night.
The night breeze was a little cool, and the third aunt kept kneeling with her maid. Like two sculptures, they knelt until the east side and the fish belly was white.
"The third aunt fainted—"
Lan Rui let out a long shout, waking up the sleeping Liu family's compound shrouded in twilight.
