After entering the end of November, Bai Lan and Han's mother found that the smile on the young lady's face was getting less and less day by day. Although Han's mother carefully matched the medicinal diet, the young lady's complexion was still getting worse day by day, and when she woke up in the morning, her eyes were all blue. On this day, Han's mother couldn't hold back her worries and asked her to take the pulse. "What's on Miss's mind?" After helping the pulse, Han's mother found that the young lady's liver was weak and prosperous, and she was depressed, knowing that if she continued like this, she would definitely hurt her body, so she couldn't help but ask. "I ...... There is indeed one thing that I don't know if I should do or not. After thinking alone for many days, Zhihua still couldn't make up her mind, and at this moment, Han's mother asked, and she also wanted to speak out and listen to her opinion. Seeing that Miss Han looked cautious, Bai Lan obviously had something very important to discuss with Han's mother, and took the initiative to say, "The slave is guarding the door." ”

After sorting out her thoughts, Zhihua spoke: "Mother Han, do you know, who wanted to kill my brother that day?" "It's Aunt Zhou, right?" At that time, Han's mother had just entered the house, and she didn't participate much in this matter, but she also heard about people's discussions afterwards. Zhihua nodded, "It's her, although there is no conclusive evidence, but I know that she did it." ”

"Then the young lady wants to ...... Let Aunt Zhou have some accidents during childbirth, right? "I heard Miss talk about Aunt Zhou, calculate the time, these days are when Aunt Zhou is about to give birth, how can Mother Han not understand why Miss is entangled." I didn't want to do anything to her children, I wanted to do it...... It is to make this production the last time in her life! "Zhihua can't say it directly, she knows that Aunt Zhou won't give birth to a son this time, but the next baby will be." The old lady just casually said that she was pregnant like a son, and she couldn't wait to harm my brother, if she really gave birth to a son in the future, how could she stop hurting her? I thought that there was only a thousand days to be a thief, and there was no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, so I simply cut off her thoughts in the future! Speaking of the back, Zhihua's face showed a fierce color. Mother Han, you say, should I do it or not? "To do or not to do Zhihua has already made a decision in her heart, as she said, a thousand days to prevent thieves, there must be a time of omission, if her brother makes a mistake in the future, will she be so lucky to do it again? But after all, this is the first time she has calculated others since she was a child, and she is inevitably uneasy.

"No matter what decision the young lady makes, the slave will definitely give her full support!" Mother Han knew Miss's current situation, and only touching Aunt Zhou was already kind and generous. It's just that she is still worried: "What if she gives birth to a son in this baby?" ”

"Even if she does give birth to a younger brother this time, I can't allow her to have another life, the more children she has, the more determined she will be to deal with our siblings. The child is innocent, no matter what, I will not attack a child like Aunt Zhou, I can only cut off the root cause so that she can't give birth! Closing her eyes, Zhihua suddenly felt a little uncertain. The fate of herself and her brother has changed, and she doesn't know if the variables will affect Aunt Zhou's belly.

"If Miss decides to do it, the slave has a way to make Miss get what she wants!" After thinking for a while, Han's mother began to offer advice.

Late the next night, the warehouse of the Lu Mansion suddenly ran out of water, but fortunately, the night wife woke up and the fire was extinguished before it spread. The fire started in the room where the medicinal herbs were stored, and although it was extinguished in time, the fire still burned down a small half of the room.

The sound of people calling for help and extinguishing the fire woke up Aunt Zhou, and even after the news that the fire had been extinguished, she still felt uneasy in her heart and couldn't sleep anymore. During this time, copying scriptures can make her choke enough, the custom of Jing'anguo, during the copying of Buddhist scriptures, in order to show piety, you must fast and be vegetarian, and you must pray and burn incense before starting to write. I didn't eat well, the child in my belly was about to give birth, and I didn't sleep well, and Aunt Zhou lost weight in a few days.

At dawn, Aunt Zhou, who had been tossing and turning all night without sleep, suddenly had a stomachache, and she knew that she was about to give birth.

Zhihua greeted the old lady today earlier than before. She was one of the people who couldn't sleep after being woken up last night. Since I couldn't sleep, I simply got up early and came to greet the old lady.

The old lady had not yet gotten up. Listening to Wu's mother, after the old lady was woken up last night, it was also difficult to sleep, and then Wu's mother lit the soothing incense, and the old lady slowly fell asleep, and now she is still not awake. Zhihua obediently waited in the ear room, waiting for the old lady to get up. Not long after, I suddenly heard a little maid running quickly and announcing loudly outside the door: "Old lady, Aunt Zhou is about to give birth!" ”

After a while, Wu's mother walked out quickly and handed over the pair of cards: "Go and ask Wen Po and the doctor!" Go by horse-drawn carriage! ”

The old lady finished grooming as quickly as she could, and immediately rushed to the Begonia Courtyard to sit down. Zhihua followed behind her, and her thoughts were also very chaotic. In her previous life, Aunt Zhou gave birth this evening, and thinking of what she had planned, Zhihua couldn't help but worry that things had changed. Seeing that Miss was distracted, Mother Han hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said in her mouth, "Miss, be careful of your step." "Secretly pinched. Zhihua came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and finally calmed down. No matter what, there was no turning back from the bow, and she had to be careful to deal with it.

Wen Po and the doctor were soon in place. After taking the pulse, the doctor prescribed a prescription for inducing labor, and he had all the medicinal materials he needed in his medicine box, and soon the boiled decoction was brought into the delivery room.

Aunt Zhou was sweating profusely in pain at this time. When she saw the decoction brought by the maid, she didn't drink it immediately, but asked, "Who prescribed this medicine?" "The maid who serves the medicine is the red brocade who has served Aunt Zhou for many years, and she is also the most trusted one among the maids." It is Dr. Li of Rui'an Tang that we have been using, and the medicine was brought by Dr. Li, and it was also boiled by the slave maid himself, and he did not fake his hands to others. It is worthy of Aunt Zhou's right-hand man, she just asked the beginning, and Hongjin answered all the things she wanted to know.

Aunt Zhou took the medicine bowl with confidence and drank it all in one gulp. The ensuing pain left her no time to think about anything else.

Zhixiang also rushed over and was stopped outside the delivery room by the old lady. She also knew that her daughter's family couldn't enter the delivery room, but she was really worried about her aunt, so she paced at the door restlessly, and accidentally bumped into the red brocade that came out with the empty medicine bowl. The old lady was startled by this voice, and couldn't help yelling: "You sit honestly for me, and don't make trouble here!" ”

Zhixiang sat down when she heard this, saw Zhihua drinking tea quietly beside her, remembered her aunt's past teachings, and finally stabilized her mind and learned from Zhihua to pick up the teacup.

At this time, Wu's mother hurriedly came: "Old lady, my aunt is a little tired, and the doctor said that he would give her some old ginseng tablets." But the old ginseng in our house was burned out by the fire last night......"

Ginseng is a very valuable medicinal material, and the doctor only brings a little ginseng to the doctor on weekdays, and hangs himself in case of emergency. If you want to buy, you have to order in advance, and when you can get the goods after ordering, God knows.

The old lady is also in a hurry, where will she find the old ginseng at this time and a half? "How is that good...... Otherwise, you should ask the doctor if you can use the ginseng that is young, right? Ginseng with a light age should be better to buy some ......"

Zhixiang's heart also lifted, put down the teacup in her hand, she suddenly thought of a good idea in a hurry, and hurriedly spoke: "Old lady, I know who has old ginseng!" When my mother was sick, my uncle sent a lot of precious medicinal herbs, and I remember a few good old ginseng! Mother shouldn't have run out, right? After that, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhihua: "Ask my sister to save my aunt!" ”

Zhihua smiled, there are such cheeky people in the world! "You told me to use the precious medicinal herbs that my uncle had worked so hard to find to save the people who harmed my brother?! Mother Han, go find me a ruler, I want to measure how thick Zhixiang's face is to say such a thing! Zhixiang choked, she had this idea, both to save her aunt and to respond to Zhihua, who expected that Zhihua would suddenly tear her face and say this, she was speechless for a while.

Jiang is still old and spicy, and the old lady helped: "You can't talk nonsense." Who can prove that it was Aunt Zhou who wanted to kill Yan'er that day? There must be some misunderstanding in this. Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention, Aunt Zhou is born now, but it is your younger brother. Ah Hua, you better bring some old ginseng. ”

"The old lady has a life, how dare the granddaughter disobey?" Zhihua reluctantly instructed Han's mother to cut a few slices of old ginseng, and then kept her face tense, looking angry.

Zhixiang smiled comfortably, no matter how scheming she was, under filial piety, how could she escape from the old lady's Five Finger Mountain. At this moment, she consciously won a game of Zhihua, and her mood has never been better.

Soon, Han's mother came back with a few pieces of old ginseng to revive. The old lady motioned for Dr. Li to come forward to inspect it in person. After confirming that there was no problem, Hongjin immediately brought it into the delivery room. Not long after, the loud cry of a baby could be heard in the delivery room. Hongjin came out and said congratulations: "Congratulations to the old lady for having her granddaughter, Miss Seven weighs five catties and four taels." ”

As soon as these words came out, the old lady's face immediately sank. Zhixiang was also disappointed in her eyes. Zhihua did not hide her happiness, and immediately smiled and said congratulations: "Congratulations to the second sister, there is another sister." At this time, Zhixiang's face also darkened. The old lady was annoyed, and her tone was no longer polite: "Okay! Now it's nothing for you to do, go back to your own yard! ”

Zhihua didn't stay anymore, and Shi Shiran got up and saluted and retired.

Back at Qiuhua Courtyard, Zhihua called the most clever maid Cui'er, "Cui'er, you go and pay attention to the Begonia Courtyard, and hurry over to report as soon as there is news." Cui'er took the order, her little eye bone flipped around, took out a small shuttlecock, and pulled Pan'er out to play. Mother Han scolded with a smile: "This little clever ghost! ”

After lunch, news came from Cui'er. Aunt Zhou has been unable to stop bleeding after giving birth, after using the medicine prescribed by Dr. Li, it has gradually improved, and now there is no big problem, and Aunt Zhou also used a big bowl of shredded chicken noodles for lunch. The little clever ghost Cui'er also got the medicine residue that Hongjin threw away after boiling the medicine, Han's mother smiled at Zhihua and nodded after seeing it, Zhihua also smiled, and the breath in her heart was finally relieved, and it was done.

It turned out that Zhihua first called Jiang Quan and the two brothers, and set fire to the old ginseng in Lu Mansion late at night, in order to use the old ginseng she provided when Aunt Zhou gave birth. In fact, at that time, even if Zhixiang would not be smart and come out to mention yì, in the end, Han's mother would come out with the compassion of "the heart of the doctor's parents", and begged the eldest lady to come up with some ginseng tablets to save the emergency. It's ridiculous that she thinks she won a game against Zhihua, but she doesn't know that she helped her realize her plan and make the result of Zhihua's provision of old ginseng more logical. What Mother Han brought was, of course, the best old ginseng, but this kind of ginseng was different from what Aunt Zhou needed. This kind of ginseng is called Tibetan ginseng, (cough cough, according to the party's request to let go, I recruited, I am nonsense), produced in the Western Regions, efficacy, taste and ordinary ginseng exactly the same, the biggest difference between the two medicinal materials in addition to the origin, is the appearance. The appearance of the old ginseng is human-shaped, and the better the old ginseng, the more human-like it looks, while the Tibetan ginseng grows into a pentagonal shape, and the older the Tibetan ginseng, the more regular the five-pointed star. This flaw was made up by Han's mother's slicing, and if the sliced Tibetan ginseng was mixed with the old ginseng, even Han's mother herself couldn't tell it, and of course Dr. Li couldn't. Tibetan ginseng is not an ordinary thing, and it is certainly not good. When Han's mother proposed this plan, she was worried about where to find this Tibetan ginseng, and after turning over the medicinal materials in the inventory of Qiuhua Academy, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the medicinal materials sent by her uncle to treat the eldest lady really had this medicine. It turned out that when he first received the news of his sister's illness, Jiang Wuyuan didn't know what medicinal materials his sister needed at the border pass, so he tried his best to find a bunch of rare and hard-to-get medicines, but he didn't expect his sister to use them, but he helped his niece a lot.

Of course, there is a reason why they take great pains to use Tibetan ginseng. The Han family is a family of doctors who have been out of the imperial doctor, and Han's mother's medical skills are actually no worse than the imperial doctor in the palace, so she knows another use of this Tibetan ginseng. If Tibetan ginseng is mixed with the herbs necessary for a woman to induce labor, it will produce toxins and cause the illusion of a woman's postpartum blood collapse. At this time, the correct treatment method needs to be taken by the medical woman with the prepared medicinal powder, applied to the wound of the woman's bleeding, and then mixed with a decoction to dissolve the medicinal power of Tibetan Qi ginseng, and finally healed. But Dr. Li is not a medical woman, nor is he a skilled imperial doctor in the palace, he is just an ordinary doctor, when he hears that Aunt Zhou has a postpartum blood collapse, he will not enter the filthy delivery room to take her pulse at all, and will only prescribe some prescriptions to stop the blood collapse like an ordinary doctor. But this is not the right treatment after all, and the consequence is that although the blood has stopped, the toxins produced by the mixture of Tibetan ginseng and oxytocic medicine remain in the body and continue to corrode the uterus. With Aunt Zhou's dosage, if you don't detoxify correctly and slowly resolve it by your body's resistance alone, the uterus will be corroded into a big hole when the toxin disappears, and you will no longer be able to conceive in this life.

Walking alone to the ancestral hall in front of the mother's tablet, lighting a stick of incense, Zhihua bowed down and bowed to the ground, praying silently in her heart: "Mother, for the sake of my younger brother, even if she is stained with dirty blood, she will enter the eighteenth layer of hell in the future, and her daughter will never regret it!" Please rest assured that the mother's spirit in heaven will be able to protect her younger brother and grow up safely! ”

At this time, a breeze blew, as if it was a mother's caressing, and it seemed that the mother sighed lowly.
