Chapter 149: Confidence
When Mrs. Chen, who was in charge of Xu's family, hurriedly ran into Fuxi Hall, the old lady was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall at the back, and when she heard that Mrs. Chen was coming, she frowned.
Walking out of the Buddhist hall and sitting down in the quiet room next to it, the old lady took a sip of tea slowly, and then asked, "Why are you so flustered?" β
Mrs. Chen said about Xu's pregnancy in a hurry, "...... Now that the second lady looks like this, she looks like she is pregnant, do you arrange for a doctor to come in and take a look? β
The last time the old lady dealt with the Xu family, because Jinxiu was present, she didn't say anything about Lei Tengzhu's infertility, first, because Jinxiu was not married after all, so it was not good for her to listen to this. Second, this is really a more heinous and vicious act than poisoning. Therefore, Qin Zhili's infertility for many years was caused by poisoning, and no one else in the mansion knew about it except for the three people who were present that day.
When the old lady heard Mrs. Chen's words, she was immediately furious, the tea cup in her hand slammed the ground, and the fragments and hot tea splashed everywhere, she was so angry that she couldn't speak, and her hands trembled and pointed at Mrs. Chen, "Go out,...... Get the hell out of here! β
Mrs. Chen was startled, and for some reason heard that the second lady was pregnant, and the old lady was not happy and angry, so she hurriedly retreated, and did not dare to leave, so she had to stand far away.
Ying Xue and Ziyue on the side didn't know what was going on, only to hear the old lady's voice trembling, "Hurry up,...... Hurry up and ask Master Hou to come over. β
After Qin Zhili came, the old lady sent all Yingxue Ziyue out, ordering them not to get close to the door, and then she gritted her teeth and told her about Xu's pregnancy.
Qin Zhili didn't react at first, but when he thought that he had been poisoned by the Xu family in the past few years and couldn't have children, and now that she was pregnant, her face gradually turned purple, and she roared in a low voice with anger: "This slut is so shameless, no wonder he gave birth to a misbehaving daughter like Jinxiu......"
"When has she been out in the last few months?" The old lady asked gloomily.
Qin Zhili lowered his head and thought about it, his expression was uncertain, he suddenly clenched his hands into fists, and said hatefully: "During the New Year's Festival, she took Jinxiu back to her mother's house......"
At this time, he only felt that it seemed that everyone all over the world knew that his head was green, and he was ashamed and embarrassed, "Now that Jinxiu can't be the crown princess, I'll kill her now!" β
The old lady slapped her palm on the mahogany carved case beside her, and the pot of ten thyme incense placed on it was shocked, and she scolded fiercely: "You are in such a hurry to kill her, won't it make everyone see your jokes even more?" How can you be so confused! β
Qin Zhili looked back in surprise, "Could it be that she has done such a thing, and her mother still wants to keep her?" β
The old lady gritted her teeth, her face was full of gloom, and she said softly: "Her life can't be left any longer, this mother and daughter are both cheap embryos, and they have left us, so everything will be clean and everything will be over." Frustrated, she closed her eyes and thought for a long time, and then made a decision in her heart, and said sadly, "Since she once poisoned Brother Chen, let her taste it herself now." β
She glanced at Qin Zhili's gloomy face, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, your mother will handle it for you." β
Qin Zhili was dazed, full of dejection, sat for a long time, got up and staggered away.
The old lady called Mrs. Chen in, and only ordered Xu's diet to be arranged better in the past two days, but she still lived in the west house of the back cover room and was not allowed to go out, "It is unknown whether she is really pregnant now, and I will invite the doctor to come and see it in two days." Don't be silent at this point, both of you will keep your mouth shut, do more and talk less! At the end of the day, the tone was sharp.
Mrs. Chen didn't know what to do, so she promised to retreat again and again.
The old lady called Mama Song in and whispered to her, "Go to my pharmacy and ask the shopkeeper for some golden phoenix pollen." β
Mama Song was still the old lady's dowry maid, an old man who had been with her for decades, and when she heard that she was looking for poison, she didn't ask carefully, so she nodded and went to do it.
Ordinary poisons such as arsenic are controlled drugs, and the family's mansion is very tightly controlled, so you have to go to your own pharmacy to find some. However, those who have been poisoned by arsenic are bruised and stiff all over, and it is very easy for people to notice that they are abnormal.
The old lady recalled that when Jinchen was poisoned last time, her breath was weak and unconscious, although she felt that it was too cheap for the Xu family, but only this method could be done without realizing it. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of asking Jin Yi for poison, but she had dispelled her mind after only a little thought.
She thought about it, now that something like that has happened in Jinxiu, with the heart of a businessman's family like the Xu family, she must not care about Xu Meixin's daughter even if she has a grudge.
and calculated that the funeral of the Xu family after his death would be simple, so that it would not affect Jinyi's family affairs, although she did not have to follow the rules to give marriage, but if it was mixed with the funeral of her stepmother in this happy event, it would be unlucky after all.
Second, she was also afraid that the Ma family would take advantage of this excuse to regret and delay Jinxiu's marriage, and she really didn't want Qin Jinxiu to stay at home for a day.
Qin Jinxiu was in the room, she couldn't hear the movement over there, and she was puzzled in her heart, she rummaged through the room for a while, and found a key, which was on the small door adjacent to Ning Xiangju. forced Qiqiu to sneak away from the surveillance in the yard and sneak in to see her mother.
Qiqiu couldn't, but it was much easier than letting her sneak out of the house to the Xu family, so she had to rely on it. After waiting until dark, he quietly touched the small vermilion door by the courtyard wall, took the key to open the lock, and entered the Ning Xiang Residence.
As soon as he arrived at the back room, he was discovered by Mrs. Chen. The Xu family inside heard the movement and made a fuss again. She couldn't understand why the old lady didn't let herself out when she knew that she was pregnant. It's just that when I saw that the two mothers-in-law were not as fierce as usual, and they took a lot of food and pastries for themselves, I comforted them in my heart, and it would not be too long before they got out of trouble.
She heard the movement outside, put her head on the locked window, looked out through the paper pasted on the window lattice, vaguely saw that it was Qiqiu, and hurriedly shouted: "Let her come in, you two evil minions, I will clean you up in the future!" β
Mrs. Chen couldn't, so she had to open the door and let Qiqiu in, while she stayed in front of the door.
Xu ignored her, and only pulled Qiqiu and asked, "When will Xiu'er enter the palace?" But the edict has come down? β
Seeing that she didn't know anything, Qiqiu had to keep silent, and asked, "Miss asked me to come over and ask, what happened to Madame in the afternoon?" β
When I asked this question, I saw Xu Shi's eyebrows and smile, she had borrowed a comb from her mother-in-law in the afternoon, and she combed her knotted hair, coiled it in a small bun, and picked it up.
"You tell SΓΉ Xiu'er, I am pregnant, wait for me to come out in a few days, and make a dowry for her, I must let her marry beautifully."
Qiqiu's face was full of surprise, but she cried again, and told her everything about Qin Jinxiu, "...... Now the young lady is also the same as the lady, locked in the courtyard, and will marry into the Ma family in a few days. β
Xu was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he sat motionless. Not only was Jinxiu not elected as the crown princess, but her reputation was ruined. She muttered, "No wonder the old lady hasn't let me out now......"
She suddenly perked up again, thinking of the fetus in her womb, Qin Zhili had no children, and the old lady would never be too embarrassed about her mother and daughter for this. She said to Qiqiu with confidence: "You go back and tell SΓΉ Xiu'er, as long as your mother comes out, she will be the master of her and will not let her marry into the Ma family."
