Chapter 332 Opportunity
"Aunt Wen is recovering well, but the child is ......"
"What's wrong with the kid?" This is what Old Madam Qiao is most concerned about.
"The child is born dead."
"How so? Boy or girl? ”
Qiao Lixi glanced up.
Old Madam Qiao's face was full of shock and worry, it was a pity that it was all aimed at the dead child.
Xue Tao also pinched his handkerchief and stared at the Feng clan for a moment.
Feng said two sentences succinctly, the specific situation of the dead baby was too appalling, and Feng did not elaborate.
"We want to see the kids." Old Madam Qiao said unwillingly.
Feng thought for a moment and nodded.
Although Aunt Wen is just a concubine, since she has notified them, it is better to let them see.
Moreover, the reason why the Feng family wanted to inform the people of the Qiao family was also to let the people of the Qiao family share some responsibilities, so as not to put the responsibility of the dead baby on the Hou Mansion.
"Jojo, are you together?" Xue Tao suddenly stopped Qiao Yixi.
Qiao Yixi glanced at her unexpectedly and followed behind everyone.
A group of people did not go to the west courtyard, but went to another place, and the child was still wrapped and placed on the carriage.
It is said to be a horse-drawn carriage, but in fact it is a simple horse-drawn flatbed, and there is not even a shelter from the wind around.
Although Xue Tao felt sorry for his dead grandson, he also understood that it was a matter of course for something that was useless to the Hou Mansion to be abandoned.
It's just that when she lifted the swaddling clothes wrapped around the baby and saw the appearance of the dead baby clearly, she was so frightened that she sat on the ground.
"Shocked, what kind of system!" Old Madam Qiao was already holding her breath, and when she saw that Xue Tao couldn't get on the stage like this, she suddenly became angry.
Xue Tao trembled and didn't speak, Qiao Siye thought that she couldn't accept the lost child at first glance, and wanted to step forward to pull her, but she looked at the dead baby on the car board and took two steps back in fright.
Old Madam Qiao sensed that something was wrong, and stepped forward alone and walked towards the dead baby.
"This ......" is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and Old Madam Qiao can barely maintain the calm on her face. She glanced at the grandmother beside her, who picked up the stiff dead baby in her head, lifted the small quilt, and checked the child's gender.
Still don't give up.
Qiao Yixi pursed her lips mockingly.
Mama looked up, not knowing whether to shake her head or nod at Old Madam Qiao.
Old Madam Qiao, who had long been impatient, snatched the dead baby and looked at the dead baby's lower body.
"This ......" Rao is old lady Qiao prides herself on seeing big scenes, but she still can't accept everything in front of her.
No wonder you can't tell the gender of the child, it's not a man or a woman......
Not daring to take a second look, Mrs. Qiao stuffed the child to Mama.
Mama immediately put the dead baby back in the carriage.
Then, when the ladies arrived in the West Courtyard, the Feng family and the others did not enter the courtyard, and let Xue Tao and Mrs. Qiao enter.
As soon as Xue Tao entered the door, he walked towards the bed.
Qiao Jinwen was half-lying on the bed, although she gave birth to a monster, but the Feng family did not make it difficult for her, the people who served her were experienced mothers-in-law, who knew what to pay attention to during the confinement, and she was not careful to serve Qiao Jinwen but was also dedicated, at least she would not be picked out by others.
This is also the eight-sided exquisiteness that the Feng family is accustomed to.
"San'er, my mother and your grandmother have come to see you." Xue Tao sat sideways on the edge of the bed and left the chair beside the bed to Old Madam Qiao.
Old Madam Qiao looked at the person on the bed with an angry look, no matter how strong the anger was in her heart, she also knew that now was not the time to have a seizure, so she took a deep breath and reluctantly sat down.
"Child, I have been wronged." Xue Tao held Qiao Jinwen's hand, choking and not knowing what to say.
Qiao Jinwen looked at the front with blank eyes, and there was no focus in her scattered eyes.
With her appearance, Xue Tao was even more anxious in her heart, and she didn't dare to cry, "San'er, it's okay, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, and only when you have a good body can you have the opportunity to serve the second master." ”
"Wait, how can I serve?" Qiao Jinwen squinted her eyes and looked at Xue Tao sarcastically.
Xue Yao enlightened: "Silly boy, who said that women can only serve men in bed, and Israel can't serve people for a long time, men, in addition to physical satisfaction, there is also psychological. If you think like this, what the second master can't do to you, you can't do it to other women, and you have less worries. This kind of second master is better to serve, you just need to let the second master see your intelligence, your ability, and serve the second master with all your heart, so that he can concentrate on his work, and don't have to worry about anything else. ”
The ridicule at the corner of Qiao Jinwen's mouth was even worse.
Old Madam Qiao and Xue Tao didn't notice Qiao Jinwen's weird calmness, the two of them only thought that now that Qiao Jinwen's child is gone, she can't rely on her son, so she has to let Gu Jinxuan give up her elsewhere.
Fortunately, Gu Jinxuan's health is not good, and there will be no more people in the backyard of the second room.
Now, Qiao Jinwen has just given birth, and it is when her body is weak and her mood is low, Gu Jinxuan will inevitably have to care a little more, as long as Qiao Jinwen seizes the opportunity and strives to occupy a position in Gu Jinxuan's heart, she will not be favored as much as her son.
It's just that......
Xue Tao's eyes darkened.
What was calculated before cannot be realized now.
Thinking about it like this, Xue Tao also had emotions in her heart, "How can it be so good, I gave birth to a ......"
This thing comes out.
Qiao Jinwen's scattered eyes swept through with anger.
Over there, Xue Tao continued to complain: "It took so much effort and preparation so much, and the result was ......"
"So, it's my fault?" Qiao Jinwen asked uncertainly.
Old Madam Qiao's original dissatisfaction was directly stimulated into anger by Qiao Jinwen's provocation, "I have been planning with your mother for so long, why are you so uncompetitive?" In order to help you protect the fetus, the medicinal diet of the 'Diet World' has not been interrupted, how much money we have spent on your food in the past few months, and you actually gave birth to a stillborn baby that is neither male nor female! The Feng clan didn't burn you as a monster, they are already benevolent and righteous to you! ”
"Mother's ......"
"Also," Old Madam Qiao interrupted Xue Tao's words with compassion, "In order to ensure that you can give birth to a son, your mother has found you a capable person from Jincheng thousands of miles away, and after eating the secret recipe for a few months, you gave birth to such a thing!" Fortunately, our Qiao family has long been separated, otherwise, outsiders would still think that my Qiao family is cursed, and your sisters don't have to get married. ”
Mrs. Qiao sincerely maintained only four rooms from beginning to end, and Qiao Jinwen was her favorite granddaughter, but because she was so angry, she would say these heart-piercing words without hesitation.
Xue Tao's face suddenly turned white.
"Grandmother can rest assured, the fifth child is now following His Royal Highness, although he has no name yet, but it is a matter of time before he has a concubine, as for Qiao Lixi, grandmother doesn't have to worry about it, the chief of the Dingguo Mansion, the chief daughter-in-law, the weight is sufficient, and the grandmother's face is also sufficient."
"Presumptuous! Is this the attitude you should have towards your elders? We have spent so much effort and so much thought, and you are so uncompetitive! ”
"Fight!" Qiao Jinwen's eyes were scarlet, and she looked at the two people in the room mockingly, "I worked hard to conceive for ten months, I don't want to have a son?" I don't want to get ahead in the Hou Mansion, I don't want to press Qiao Yixi? I could have had a son, but it was all you, the secret recipe you asked me to eat messy, and you were the one who lost my son! ”
Xue Tao blamed herself and didn't dare to speak.
Although she only glanced at the child's appearance, she also saw the clues.
The child was supposed to be a baby boy, but because of the interference of the outside world, his male sex was inhibited, and there were even signs of degradation.
She didn't want to admit this, but the child's characteristics were too obvious, and she couldn't deceive herself if she wanted to.
"You asked your mother to find someone to help you, and now it's our fault?" Old Madam Qiao is also a person who can reverse black and white. If it was usual, she would not have lost her mind so quickly, at least she would not be in a hurry to clear up the relationship and reprimand Qiao Jinwen at this time.
Really, there is as much hope as there is disappointment.
From Jincheng to the capital, what Mrs. Qiao was thinking about was that Qiao Jinwen could get ahead in the Hou Mansion and the Qiao family could go to the next level.
Although His Royal Highness reuses Fourth Master Qiao, the Qiao family only has wealth, no power, and cannot gain a foothold in the capital. In preparing for a rainy day, Mrs. Qiao is extremely eager for power, and at this time, the child in Qiao Jinwen's belly is particularly important.
However, now the Qiao family's only chance to say no is gone, where is the angry old lady Qiao still sensible, only the hatred for Qiao Jinwen is not steel!
"So, or is it my fault?" Qiao Jinwen is very calm, not like a mother who has lost her beloved son at all.
In her eyes, the child is just a tool to compete for favor, whether she can become a side wife, whether she can be the mother of the son, and whether she can be in charge of the tool of the marquis, has nothing to do with maternal love.
In the end, she is young, utilitarian and heavy, and she is stimulated by Qiao Lixi, Qiao Jinwen at this time still doesn't know what maternal love is and what is the meaning of children?
She only knew that the good life she longed for was gone, her glory and wealth, and her power were all gone with the monster she gave birth to.
Old Madam Qiao frowned, and before she could speak, Qiao Jinwen continued: "Yes, I want to have a son, but who am I trying to have a son for?" I have my own selfishness, but it is also for your sake, the Qiao family has no power, and it may be impossible to recover at any time. Who am I careful to do step by step? ”
Old Madam Qiao's face softened.
In the end, it is his favorite granddaughter, and her love for Qiao Jinwen is still a little real. also knows that this child is really thinking about the four rooms, and wants to gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion, for herself and for the Qiao family.
"That person, I asked my mother to help me find it, I also want to have one more guarantee, no one wants to do this, but it happened." Qiao Jinwen calmly analyzed the current situation, and in her speech and demeanor, where was the madness of losing her beloved son before.
Xue Tao couldn't help but glance at her daughter more, and she had a faint bad feeling in her heart, but she didn't know where this uncertainty came from.
"San'er is right, things have happened, we have to plan the future."
"The top priority now is to take care of your body and capture the second master's heart," Old Madam Qiao said, "You have lost your beloved son, the second master will have more mercy on you during this time, you have to seize the opportunity." You are sad, and the second master is also sad, this is the time for you to support each other and help each other cheer up. ”
