Chapter 557: Mrs. Hou's maid
Zhong Lang didn't notice Zhong Huaiwen's eyes when he looked at Zhong Jue, he only felt sarcastic, and at the same time felt sad, from now on, he was abandoned by his father!
Scold! He also deserves it, and he always has to return what he robbed others, so he doesn't have to be retributed.
From this day on, Aunt Wei was grounded, Zhong Yin no longer likes to run outside the house, Zhong Lang read more and more fiercely, he must get a good score in the exam three years later, he must not be worse than Zhong Jue.
In the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Zhong Lan looked at his eldest brother with admiration: "You really forced Zhong Lang to sign an agreement on how to divide the family property in the future?" ”
"Hmm." Zhong Jue replied calmly.
"Aren't you afraid of what people say about you?"
"What do you say about me? I don't care about this, the county lord of Wenping is about to get married, and I always have to give her a more peaceful environment. ”
Zhong Lan looked admiring: "Brother, you are this." He gave a thumbs up.
Zhong Jue smiled and cared about her again: "How are you?" Are the two children in the womb okay? Are you still comfortable living in the Hou Mansion? ”
After hearing this, Zhong Lan had a gentle smile on her face: "Everything is fine, the two children are quite obedient, Mrs. Lao Hou treats me well, and the second wife often comes to accompany me, and now I am alone in the house, where is there anything bad?" ”
Zhong Jue looked at her dotingly: "Just see how you are doing, by the way, do you have any contact with Hou Ye?" How is he at the border? ”
Speaking of Wei Yuanhou, the smile on Zhong Lan's face deepened: "He's also fine, brother, don't care about this, let's step up preparations for marriage!" ”
However, not long after Zhong Lan said this, Duan Rongjing had an accident, and the news of his disappearance came from the border pass, and there were even rumors that he had committed treason and defected to the Turks, and the atmosphere in the capital suddenly became tense, and there were even troops besieging the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
"Madam, don't worry, didn't Master Hou write to me before saying that there would be an abnormality recently? Since Hou Ye can predict it, it means that he must have a way to deal with it, at this time, you must not panic, there are more people who want to watch you and the child in your belly have an accident, you must not let those people get their wish. Ye Qiu calmly comforted her, in fact, she was also a little panicked, after all, she didn't know the plot of this world, and she didn't know if Wei Yuanhou was okay in the end.
"But I'm just uneasy! The Hou Mansion was fenced off. Zhong Lan turned in a circle of concern.
"Then we might as well go to the old lady, she must know more, and there must be a way."
However, when they walked out of the gate of Qingfeng Courtyard, they saw Mrs. Lao Hou and Mrs. Shen coming over.
"Grandmother, I was about to look for you, why are you here?"
Mrs. Lao Hou held Zhong Lan's hand: "I'm just afraid that you will think too much, so I and my second daughter-in-law will come to see you, go back first, I have something to say to you." ”
So the group returned to Qingfeng Courtyard, and seeing that Mrs. Lao Hou and Mrs. Shen didn't look very nervous, Zhong Lan's heart relaxed slightly.
"Old lady, second wife, please have tea."
"Lan Lan, I was frightened by what happened early this morning." Second Mrs. Shen sat beside Zhong Lan, and then commanded her subordinates to go out, "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine." ”
"But the Hou Ye is missing outside, where is he now? Will it be dangerous? How can it be related to the Turks? This is what Zhong Lan is most worried about.
Mrs. Hou's weathered eyes showed a gleam: "I believe in my grandson, he will be fine, the things in the court are not clear, I can only tell you that the saint's health is not very good now, the judge of the Tai Hospital and several imperial doctors who have been taking His Majesty's pulse for a long time have not returned home for three days." ”
Zhong Lan was born in the Zhong family, Zhong Huaiwen's official position is not high, and he is in a relatively idle department like the Ministry of Rites, so he doesn't know much about these things, but as long as it is about the saint, this matter cannot be simple.
And their Weiyuan Hou Mansion is the favor of the Holy Lord, if something happens to the Holy Mansion, then what should their Hou Mansion do?
"But don't think too much about it, it's not certain whether the Holy Lord can survive it, and who will succeed him is not certain, these things Rong Jing has long predicted, and he won't be unprepared." Mrs. Hou said with great confidence, "Before there is specific news about Rongjing, no one can do anything to us." ”
Zhong Lan's heart settled down slightly, but she still didn't let go of her worries.
Second Mrs. Shen couldn't help but care: "Don't worry too much, the most important thing now is you and the child in your belly." ”
"Uncle, I know, I will definitely give birth to these two children safely."
"You said that the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion was surrounded by layers of officers and soldiers?" In a remote courtyard in Zhongfu, Aunt Wei was locked up here, and when she heard the news from her mother-in-law next to her, her eyes showed a light of excitement and hatred.
"Yes, the old slave saw it with his own eyes, and now the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is a forbidden place, and you can't enter or leave."
"Hahahaha...... It's so happy, it's so happy, this is retribution! Aunt Wei was a little unhappy then, "Then isn't the person I arranged next to Zhong Lan's slut also uncontactable?" ”
"That's right."
"But it doesn't matter, as long as Zhong Lan is retributed, whoever does it will be the same." Aunt Wei hated it, hated Zhong Huaiwen, hated Zhong Lan, and hated Zhong Jue even more, as long as she thought that Zhong Lan was about to be convicted, she was happy.
She said that Zhong Lan, the little slut, was going to be a widow when she got married, and now she not only has to be a widow, but also a widow of a traitor, and she doesn't know if this little life can be saved.
When it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, the news of the defeat came from the border pass, Duan Rongjing didn't see anyone dead or ghosts, and everyone in the capital was crying and the grass and trees were all up.
In the early morning of the first day of the fifth month, Zhong Lan suddenly felt that his stomach began to ache for a while, and his forehead was immediately covered with fine and dense cold sweat.
"Quick, Yang Chun, you go and inform the old lady and the second wife, just say that the lady has launched, Shen Dong, you go and ask the soldiers outside to be accommodating, and let them help invite the imperial doctor and the midwife to come over, Liu Xia, you go to the kitchen and let the people boil a few pots of hot water, and stew a bowl of ginseng and chicken soup by the way." As soon as he saw that something was wrong with Zhong Lan, Ye Qiu took the pulse, and then ordered everyone in an orderly manner.
Maybe she was too calm, Zhong Lan lost her previous nervousness, and the people in Qingfeng Courtyard were also busy in an orderly manner.
"How can it be half a month in advance? Good thing you're here. Zhong Lan grabbed Ye Qiu's hand and smiled weakly.
"Madame, don't worry, you are pregnant with twins, it is normal to be born half a month prematurely, and you have been paying attention to exercise and diet before, the two children will definitely be born smoothly, you slowly, the slave will help you to the delivery room." Ye Qiu was very calm and steady.
