Chapter 80: Pregnancy
As soon as Lin Ran walked on the front foot, Lin Yuan came to Zhu'an Yuan on the back foot.
"What kind of wind is this blowing the second girl over, Xing'er, prepare tea." After a while, Xing'er sent all the refreshments to the small table, and the second lady Gu walked out of the back room and sat on the couch in a relaxed manner.
"The second sister-in-law is really polite, I just came to visit, and the sister-in-law is in good health?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile, the second lady smiled coldly, she didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, it is estimated that she can't get a bargain from Lin Ranran, so she wants to come to her to get closer to the relationship, hum, how can there be such a cheap thing? Thinking about it, he still said with a smile on the surface: "I'm not the same as before, in the summer, this body is getting more and more lazy." While talking, she asked someone to bring bayberry again, "Sister try this, this is freshly picked, and the fruits are full of water." ”
Lin Yuan smiled, twisting an entrance, which suddenly eliminated the feeling of tightness in her heart and mouth, Gu saw that she liked it, and said with a smile: "Since my sister likes it, I will let someone give you another basket later." ”
"Don't, how dare I really take anything from my sister-in-law." Lin Yuan said politely, but his eyes couldn't leave the full bayberry in the fruit pot, and he swallowed the sour water that came out of his throat.
Lin Yuan smiled without a trace, and patted her hand gently: "Aren't we all a family?" Sister-in-law's things are yours, don't be embarrassed, since my sister likes it so much, my sister-in-law is also very happy, Xing'er. She turned her head sideways to the maid standing beside her and said, "I'll send someone to send two baskets of bayberry to the second girl later." She glanced at Lin Yuan without a trace and curled her lips.
"Yes, ma'am." Xing'er walked out as promised, and the two of them were the only ones left in the house.
Lin Yuan saw that the second lady deliberately sent the maid away, and a gleam crossed her eyes, and she wanted to smile or not: "It seems that my sister-in-law still knows me very well!" ”
The second lady smiled and said softly: "I know that the second girl has been in a bad mood recently, I don't know if my sister-in-law has anything to relieve your worries?" ”
The anger in Lin Yuan's eyes flashed, and he quickly turned into a blank expression and said, "I don't understand what my sister-in-law means. ”
"I know that we were all played around by that girl Lin Ranran, if you didn't lose your inch, how would you come to me to plan together?" The second lady has long known that this Lin Yuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the old lady took away her rights mercilessly, and she has long hated Lin Yuanran.
"Since my sister-in-law said so, I also opened the skylight to say something." Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I just saw that Lin Ranran's girl was taken away by a man in black. ”
"Oh?" The second lady was drinking tea with her hand, and raised her willow eyebrows with interest, "Do you know who that person is?" ”
Lin Yuan thought for a while and shook his head: "I just saw a black shadow, but I'm sure this person must be a man." ”
The second lady nodded thoughtfully, "This can make a big fuss, let's wait for her to explain to the old lady at dawn?" ”
Lin Yuan evoked a cold smile: "Sister-in-law, my sister wants you to help me this time." ”
"How?"
"I'm going to delay Lin Ranran's return to the house, so that I can confirm her charge of staying overnight." Thinking of Lin suddenly being punished, a touch of happiness crossed Lin Yuan's eyes, and suddenly the acid water in her chest kept coming out again, and she couldn't hold back the nausea.
The second lady glanced at her without a trace, and asked worriedly on the surface: "Leave this matter to me, don't worry, it's just that my sister's face is not good, didn't she sleep well at night!" ”
Lin Yuan had a pale face, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "My stomach has been upset these days. ”
"Has my sister hired a doctor?" The second lady asked with concern.
Lin Yuan lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "The doctor just said that my stomach is weak and cold, and I need to take care of it." ”
"Oh, I see, my sister should take good care of herself!"
"Thank you sister-in-law for your concern." Lin Yuan achieved his goal, and after saying some more words, he got up and left.
As soon as Lin Yuan walked away, the second lady darkened her expression and called Mama Lan, "Go and find out, who is the doctor Lin Yuan invited, I want to know everything." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Mama Lan asked quietly, "Does Madame suspect the second aunt and grandmother?" ”
"Hmph, can she really hide it from herself?" A cold smile appeared on the second lady's lips, "This situation couldn't be clearer when I gave birth to Ke'er, I just want to further confirm that now the lord loves me less than before, and only by being fully prepared can I give the enemy a fatal blow." ”
Mama Lan smiled flatteringly: "Madame is really thoughtful. ”
The second lady couldn't help sighing: "This is natural, who in this house doesn't use each other?" Maybe we can make good use of the second aunt's affairs, you go down to do things first! ”
"Yes." Mama Lan silently retreated.
The night was covered with dark clouds, and there was not a trace of starlight in sight, hiding Gu's unclear expression.
Lin Ranran had just arrived at Prince Jian's mansion, and it suddenly rained heavily outside the window, and a ray of electric light fell from the window, coldly outlining Gao Lian's extremely delicate face, and his fine eyelashes trembled slightly, even Lin Ranran, who had always been accustomed to seeing beautiful men, couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment, and pulled the doctor back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"The old man told him that his illness has not been cured, so how can he run around?" A white-haired imperial physician frowned and took his pulse: "His residual poison has not yet cleared, and he still needs to use two patches of medicine to remove it, and he has delayed the time to take the medicine, which is really nonsense!" ”
"So is there any salvation for the prince now?" Lin suddenly interrupted his tirade and asked bluntly.
"The old man has just poured him a bowl of medicine, it depends on the situation tonight." The imperial doctor sighed and said to Lin Ranran, "The prince is too stubborn, you should persuade him well." Lin suddenly nodded, thanked the imperial doctor, Qin An sent the old imperial doctor to the door, and happened to bump into Gao Ming who was about to walk in, she chatted with the imperial doctor for a few more words, pushed open the door and walked in, and what she saw was such a scene: Lin suddenly carefully took the wet handkerchief to wipe the sweat for the prince who was lying on the bed with a high fever, and even she didn't notice that Gao Lian's expression became more and more gentle.
Gao Ming sighed softly, but was heard by Lin Ranran's ears, she turned her head and stood up and blessed Gao Ming, Gao Ming hurriedly helped her up, "Miss Lin, why be polite, is my brother's illness much better?" ”
Lin suddenly shook his head, this man was still talking nonsense just now, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
Although Gao Ming is simple, she is not a fool, when she saw that her brother was not alone with Lin Ranran, she couldn't help but be a little more curious about this woman, plus she saved the crown princess in that flower banquet, Gao Ming had a little more affection for Lin Ran, but she was still faintly worried in her heart, afraid that her eldest brother would fall too seriously and be too injured like before, which is why she didn't dare to make friends with Lin Ran.
"The county lord actually doesn't have to guard against me." Lin Ran smiled disapprovingly, "I won't covet the prince's wealth, nor will I covet his appearance." ”
"My brother is also a beautiful man in the court, how can you be ashamed to say this?" Gao Ming was not satisfied.
Lin suddenly looked at the county lord's face and chuckled, "County lord, I think you have misunderstood, I didn't say that your brother is not a beautiful man, but I just feel that there seems to be a deep estrangement between me and the county lord, I am afraid that the county lord will think that I am a fox spirit who has a red face and a disaster to harm your eldest brother." She shrugged her shoulders and laughed to herself, "Although I haven't grown up enough to be a scourge to men." ”
Her ridicule made Gao Ming laugh out loud, she didn't expect that this woman who seemed to have a bad face actually had a true temperament, which made Gao Ming, who had been in contact with famous ladies, a little surprised.
"Miss Lin, I'm sorry, I just hope that my brother can live a happier life, so that's why he'll be like this..."Gao Ming said with a red face.
"Tempt me? It's human nature! I won't take it to heart. Lin and Gao Ming looked at each other and smiled.
"Father, princess, don't leave me..." At this time, Gao Lian closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"My brother has a nightmare!" Gao Ming walked quickly to Gao Lian's bedside, and couldn't help but touch his forehead worriedly, "What should I do?" His forehead was still so hot. ”
"I'll do it!" Lin suddenly changed a wet cloth on his forehead again, "The imperial doctor just explained, as long as there is a sweat, it will be fine." As soon as she touched Gao Lian, the man suddenly grabbed her hand, "Don't go, don't go." "The man's strength is too great, and Lin Ran can't break free no matter what.
Gao Ming stood aside and nodded thoughtfully, "Miss Lin, I have a reluctant request." ”
"County Lord, please speak!"
"Can you stay with my brother for one night?" Gao Ming blinked his big eyes and begged pitifully.
Lin suddenly looked at Gao Ming, then at the arm that was grabbed, and nodded helplessly.
After Gao Ming left, the room became very quiet.
Gao Lian felt that he was wandering in the dark, like a water plant floating and sinking, and suddenly his originally floating body seemed to be pulled by a pair of hands, and he vaguely felt that someone was gently wiping his sweat for him.
His hand moved, opened his eyes slightly, and Lin Ran, who was lying on the side of the bed, woke up suddenly, she saw Gao Lian open his eyes, and his heart that had been hanging finally relaxed.
"Lin Xuanran?" Gao Lian looked at her in surprise, she took care of him all night here?
Lin suddenly hummed, stood up and touched his head, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, the prince has finally subsided his fever, I'll call the county lord over." She was just about to leave when she was pulled by Gao Lian, "Thank you." ”
"Say, that's what I'm supposed to do." Lin suddenly smiled, opened the door and walked out, "The prince is lying down, and the county lord has been worried about you all day." ”
Shangshu Mansion, as soon as the second lady woke up, Mama Lan hurriedly walked in and whispered: "The old slave has inquired, the second aunt and grandmother are indeed pregnant, and Lin Ran didn't come back all night." ”
"Great, God help me!" The second lady's mouth hooked up a sinister smile.
