Chapter 16: Nightmares
The green trees are thick and the summer days are long, and the buildings are reflected in the pond. The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, and the shelves are full of incense in a courtyard - in the early summer of the following year, the beauty of jujube incense and moon flowers wafts into the courtyards of the Guogong Mansion.
In the hall of the West Garden, the Qian family and the Zhou family came to sit in the third room together, Fu Lianyin sat on the left side and the lower head, and stood next to Dai Chunni, surrounded by maids and servants waiting for orders.
"Third lady, last time Tianyang asked Tianyang to give you a pulse, saying that you were happy, but is there such a thing?" Qian Hanqiu turned his head to look at Fu Lianyin, his face was always the number one expression, as if it would hurt to laugh.
"Second Mrs. Hui, yes," Fu Lianyin's face flushed, and she said coquettishly, "I have had some pregnancy reactions recently. β
"Then let the maid tell sΓΉ to go to the kitchen, make more sour plum soup, and eat abalone and bird's nest porridge for snacks," Zhou smiled lightly and took over the conversation, "We just came from the second room, and it just so happened that the second lady is also happy this year, so it is inconvenient to preside over the feed, and the big room will be responsible for the time being, if you want to eat anything, you might as well tell Rulan directly." β
Fu Lianyin's slightly red face was instantly covered with a layer of black fog because she heard Zhou's mention of the second lady's "also happy", and the aunt glanced at Fu's and sighed in her words: "Again-'There is joy in the same year', it's really evil......"
"What's wrong with this," Zhou said lightly, "The second room has to be born, can we still let it be born?" It is good to have more children and more blessings. "I said this on my lips, but my heart was as uncomfortable as a cat.
"It's really a coincidence," the second lady didn't pay attention to Fu's gloomy face, turned the Buddha beads in her hand, and sneered, "The second lady is really not easy, one person can be worth three women, and it's no wonder that the Hou Ye doesn't need to take a concubine." β
The maids and servants pursed their lips and turned their faces away to prevent laughter, Fu Lianyin suppressed a gloomy look, and turned to a duplicitous smile, "It is my blessing to have an heir in the same year as my second sister-in-law, but it's a pity that we are not sisters and nephews, otherwise we can still get married." Yu Guang glared at Dai Chunni, who was about to speak, and the latter immediately shut up.
As soon as the two old men said goodbye, Fu Lianyin sneered: "If I hadn't stopped you just now, would there have been some terrifying words coming out of your mouth?!" β
"It's not a terrible thing, it's the truth," Dai Chunni pursed her lips, with a look of disdain, "I'm not worthy and angry for my sister, why do you come to join in the fun as soon as you are pregnant with an heir, as if she is afraid that people will say that she will not give birth...... It's really strange, and she is pregnant with an heir at the same time, and it seems to be competing for favor, sneer! Could it be that she still thinks-"
Dai Chunni said that she deliberately stopped, and a shameful smile appeared on her face that she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic - do you need her to continue to say the rest of the words?
"If you 'kill' my child again this time......" The placket in Fu Lianyin's hand was twisted into a ball by her, and her chin fell her gaze diagonally in front of her, her eyes showed a fierce light, and her voice was like a mosquito but full of bloodthirsty.
I'm going to cut off my children and grandchildren from now onβshe shouted the second half of the sentence in her heart!
The maid Xiaoyu entered the hall and said, "Third lady, the seventh girl is talking nonsense again, and she is calling you......"
Fu Lianyin frowned in disgust: Eventful. When I looked up again, I was already worried: "Do you still have a fever?" I'll take a look. β
Four-year-old Yun Kexin was lying on the small bed in the bedroom, her eyes were closed, her head was beading with sweat, and her little face was flushed -- she had a fever in the past two days, she didn't want to eat or tea, and she was restless.
"Daddy, mother, mother......", Yun Kexin suddenly shook her head uneasily, waving her little hand and talking nonsense, "Brother, don't-"
"Miss Seven, what's wrong with you, where are you uncomfortable, wake up quickly," the nurse sitting on the edge of the bed called softly, "Third lady is here......
Yun Kexin opened her eyes in shock, and saw a group of faces that she hated extremely much, disgusted in her heart, and had to be respectful on her face: "Mother," she said reluctantly, "My daughter is fine, what about my father?" β
"The master is still in the palace, and he was tripped up by a big case." Fu Lianyin responded casually.
Yun Kexin gave an "oh" look back. Fu Lianyin said again: "What, I have nightmares again?" β
Yun Kexin sat up, looked at Fu Lianyin, and smiled silly: "No, my daughter dreamed that her mother gave birth to her younger brother, and her father and mother don't like Xin'er anymore." β
Fu Lianyin sneered in her heart: Children are so sensitive, but as a chess piece, they are also qualified to be "jealous"?
When he spoke again, his face was full of smiles, and he said amiably and funny: "Silly child, my mother hasn't given birth yet, how do you know that it must be my brother?" Even if it is, don't think about it, Sister Xin will always be the heart of her father's mother. β
Yun Kexin saw Fu Lianyin's sneer and contrived smirk alternately on her grease-smeared face, and finally saw what is called a "honey-bellied sword", she was disgusted and disgusted in her heart, and she didn't want to face it anymore, and said coldly:
"Mother, Xin'er is still a little sleepy and needs to sleep for a while, you just have a happy don't be tired, go back to the room to rest."
"It's really a well-behaved and sensible child, no wonder the master is so interested in Xin'er," Fu Lianyin smiled, "It's okay, then the mother won't make you rest, I will let the nurse and the maid guard here, and let me know if there is anything." β
Fu Lianyin left without looking back after ordering trivial matters, and the nurse and maid sent her out, looking at the backs of the group in the distance, the corners of Yun Kexin's small lips were hooked, and the depths of her big pupils flashed with a cold glow:
Fu Lianyin, do you think I'm jealous of the child in your belly? It's ridiculous! You'd love to have a son, but unfortunately, your next child will be a daughter, or you'll never want to have a son, because I don't want an innocent person to die with you!
Yun Kexin thought about it and got out of bed, put on scarlet soft-soled nightshoes and paced anxiously in the room: she had a nightmare!
Dreaming that she was in a vast blood mist and couldn't see the front clearly, she waved her little hands in horror and ran forward, trying to rush the blood mist, but in the daze, she saw that the bodies of all the relatives in the big room and the second room not far away were broken in two, lying on the blood ground and moaning in pain, she ran to them like crazy, but the more she ran, the thicker the blood mist became, until she was tightly surrounded, suffocating as if to take her second life.
Yun Kexin couldn't help but shudder: No, she will never let the tragedy of her previous life repeat itself!
She walked to the window, stepped on a chair and opened the window, and the stars in the bright moon sky were like silver gems laid on a dark blue silk cloth, shining and dazzling.
I remembered that a few days ago, my mother ate the food she gave and suddenly fainted on the couch, I was worried, I don't know if my mother is now recovering, and after thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the sentence that Yun Ran said before I died in my previous life, "Tong guΓ² your hand eliminated the child in your mother's belly......"
Yun Kexin's heart was alarmed: her mother in her previous life slipped a fetus in this year, and at the behest of Dai Chunni, she asked her to send Yue Ziyun nourishing food to the fetus......
In this life, because the eldest aunt is temporarily presiding over the feed, she took the food from the eldest aunt and thus relaxed her vigilance, so the mother fainted this time, is she really weak or someone secretly moved her hands and feet in the food?
"Xin'er, why are you standing by the window?" A deep voice behind her interrupted her thoughts.
Yun Kexin turned around and saw a medium-sized figure gradually stepping into the candlelight from the darkness, she chuckled and said, "Daddy-"
Before she could say the next sentence, Yun Tianyang had already walked to the front and said unhappily: "The illness has not healed, why are you still standing in front of the window to blow the wind?" β
"My daughter has been lying in bed for a day, her back hurts, and she is bored in the house, so she gets out of bed and walks," Yun Kexin explained quietly, thinking of her mother, "Daddy, my daughter wants to visit her second aunt tomorrow." β
