Chapter 6: The Mother of the Enemy

Standing beside Mrs. Zhou, Yinxia, the big girl who was fanning, her eyes quickly swept towards Du's stomach, and she lowered her head meekly, thinking to herself.

The fifth grandmother has been married into the Du family for nearly ten years, and the fifth grandmother has only one only daughter under the knee of Sister Yun, not to mention the concubines and aunts around, but there is not even a room.

This time, the Zhou family left Beijing, and several maids of the same age as Yinxia, fifteen or sixteen years old, were sent to marry. Mrs. Zhou hinted that she was beautiful and well-behaved and obedient, and she wanted to let her serve in the fifth room in the future.

At this time, the fifth grandmother has it again. Du's body is inconvenient, and there should be no more excuses to refuse the people in the room given by his wife, right? If the fifth master responded to the boat because of Du's birth, how good it would be! A touch of redness appeared on his face, and the fan held by Yinxia in his hand gradually swayed.

But after a while, Yinxia immediately broke out in a cold sweat, gritted her teeth secretly, and didn't dare to show any more thoughts.

"Hell yes! The fifth grandmother is fierce and gives birth to a girl, and her eyes look like she wants to eat people. Thinking of Gui Zhi's injury in a hurry, Yinxia's heart was even colder, and she once again peeked at Zhou Manyun, who seemed to be staring at her coldly just now.

"Mother!" , Zhou Manyun avoided Yinxia's inquiring gaze, suppressed the sorrow and anger in his heart, hugged Du's neck tightly, and buried his little head on Du's shoulder, as if to draw courage from his mother's warm body.

The people in the house were both familiar and unfamiliar to Manyun, and little by little, she smoothed out the differences between her past life and this life.

And Yinxia Jiaohaode's face, after repeatedly comparing it with the images he remembered in his mind, Zhou Manyun recognized the important person in front of him who was almost missed just now.

Yinxia is not terrible, at best, she was born as a maid and was promoted to an aunt by her lustful second uncle at most, just like her previous life.

The scary thing is that she will give birth to the daughter of her second uncle in five years, Zhou Manjie!

Life and death are like a chain, reborn in one life, can these deaths be solved? Zhou Manyun tried his best to restrain the fear and anger that surged from the bottom of his heart, and bit his lip desperately.

"Sister is still not feeling well?" , Du Shi asked softly, hugging the trembling little body in his arms tighter.

Du Shi was very upset that his mother-in-law and sister-in-law were doing the same, obviously what they had to deal with at the moment was the quarrel between Mother Zhu and Gui Zhi, but now they were gossiping in the clouds, and the purpose was just to let Mother Zhu kneel outside for a little longer.

But she can't say anything, because she is just the little daughter-in-law of the Zhou family.

"Shanshan, small and big go! Don't be in a hurry when you encounter something, if you can bear it, you must pretend to be obedient first, so as not to make noise and hurt yourself. If I can't bear it, I will turn around and run, anyway, when the time comes, I will bear it. Du Shimo recited her husband's teachings, adjusted her breathing, and simply concentrated on coaxing Manyun in her arms to sleep.

Man Yun was also happy to pretend to be asleep to hide the turbulent waves in his heart.

Yinxia was thrown aside in advance, Zhou Manjie, who had killed her child, would not be born until five years later, and there were still five years to take care of her. Man Yun endured his grief, secretly encouraged himself, and began to ponder Du Shi's pregnancy.

Didn't talk about it! She was sure that no elder in her previous life had ever said that Du was pregnant when he died.

If the mother didn't know that she was pregnant, but she knew it, would she kill herself with the child in her womb?

The unbearable past events of his previous life once again clearly floated in Zhou Manyun's mind.

"Zhou Manyun! The newly sealed Marquis of Jinxiang privately threatened me that he wanted to take away his wife's hatred, which was really a big joke. If so, should I also go to him and settle the humiliation he has made me suffer as a wife? The cold fingers resting on his jaw, even after a lifetime, Zhou Manyun seemed to be able to feel it.

When he heard this heart-wrenching remark, Zhou Manyun was also sad and angry, and almost wanted to die quickly.

But she didn't, she just touched the child in her belly, who was less than three months old, silently knelt on the cold bluestone slab, knocked one long head after another, cried blood and begged, "The general's humiliation, Yun Ji will pay for it with her life, but I beg for a grace time, leaving the son to go to the mother's ......"

In her previous life, she was also a mother, and she was determined to die, and the only thing she couldn't give up was her child. Presumably the mother of the world is the same, if the mother knows that she is pregnant, she should also cherish her life, you must know that the father only has one daughter under his knees, if the father goes, the one that the mother is pregnant with is his posthumous son.

If my mother really loved my father, I wouldn't just leave with my younger brother who might have inherited my father's incense.

However, if the father had gone and the fetus in the womb was gone, would the mother have ...... After a few turns in his mind, he thought of the possibility of Du Shi's suicide in his previous life, Man Yunhuo opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed Du Shi's shirt tightly, and cold sweat broke out in his little palms.

Du Shi had no time to take a closer look at the situation of Zhou Manyun in his arms, because the topic between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhou family had changed for a long time, and it had just turned to the accusation that she had asked Zhu's mother to prepare herbs of unknown origin for Zhou Manyun without authorization.

At this moment, Du Shi was flattening his mouth, looking at Mrs. Zhou with an aggrieved face, tears in his eyes, "Mother! You are the most loving and will be able to understand your daughter-in-law's love for children. The son is the mother's life, even if the sky wants to collect it, I have to keep her! That's why I took it upon myself to let Mother Zhu go out and inquire about this herbal formula......"

Son is a mother's life! Du Shi's words were clear in his ears, and Zhou Manyun was stunned and moved.

In his previous life, Man Yun left himself behind his mother for committing suicide, and he did not complain. But at this time, with the warmth of the Du family, Man Yun had no resentment in his heart, but there was more heavy doubt.

"Mother's ......", with a soft cry in his heart, Manyun's tears quietly rubbed onto Du's clothes.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhou family went around for a long time to get to the point, and they were busy with a few big girls around them for a while, and several daughters-in-law of the Zhou family were invited out of Mrs. Zhou's inner room and sat around the table outside, and a lot of evidence had been piled up on the table.

In recent years, Mrs. Zhou has gradually let go of housework and let her eldest daughter-in-law Xie handle it, so she said that she would only lie down in the inner room and listen.

Mother Zhu and Gui Zhi, who were kneeling under the porch, were called into the house by the eldest grandmother Xie Shi, pointed to the place by the door, and let the two still kneel and wait for questioning.

She looked at the table in front of her, and first there was a handful of well-organized herbs, thick black roots, and slender green leaves with black line edges in the middle, which Guizhi had brought from the kitchen.

A small white porcelain bowl contains decoction, which is the maid Xiaoman of the fifth room Before the disposal results came out, it heated up by itself again, and was placed in the west wing waiting for Zhou Manyun to use, and was also arrested by the mother-in-law who went to the fifth room to search.

Relying on the identity of the youngest son, the top and bottom of the fifth room are like the fifth uncle who is out of tune, and he does what he does by himself. It's good to have in-laws pressing, but if the old people in the sky are gone, the fifth room will be a source of trouble. Grandma Xie squinted, looked at the decoction in the bowl in disgust, raised the plain handkerchief, and covered her mouth elegantly.

The decoction in the small bowl is not like the brown color of the common decoction, and it faintly exudes a strange dark green, and it exudes a strong fishy smell without smelling it.

Xie Shi hid behind the handkerchief and coughed lightly, signaling the maid on the side to cover the medicine bowl first, and then turned sideways to face Du Shi, "Fifth brother and sister, you said that this medicine is like an elixir, saying that Sister Yun will be fine after taking it for two days." But I think it's still a little inappropriate, Sister Yun used to take the medicine with a few children according to the prescription of the famous doctor Wang Da in Pingzhou, and Dr. Wang was the junior brother of the Jingli Hu Yuan. Maybe it's Sister Yun'er's body that is stronger, and Dr. Wang's medicine has worked on her first......"

"Besides, Gui Zhi also told me about it today, which is really scary. That's it, Guizhi, you can just tell the fifth grandmother you asked. After Xie Shi finished speaking, she picked up the handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose, she really couldn't stand the strange smell of the herb.

It's also a shame that this little girl can drink it, and it's really good, and it's really cheap. Xie glanced at Zhou Manyun without a trace.

In her eyes, Zhou Manyun, who was holding Du's neck and refused to let go just now, was a collection of the toss and rudeness of the five-room couple.

Xie Shi's scrutinizing eyes also secretly looked at Du Shi, who was holding the child, and the disgusting medicine bowl was in front of him, saying that Du Shi, who was pregnant, had a ruddy face and spoke as usual.

Taking advantage of Gui Zhi's reply, Xie beckoned to Danxia, the maid beside him, and softly attached it to Danxia's ear to assign an important errand.
