"Open your mouth and let me see your tongue." Xing Ruyi said to the concubine while checking the pulse.

Although the concubine is a little resistant, it is a matter of her own affairs, and she has to cooperate.

"The tip of the tongue and the surface of the tongue are pale pink, which is a sign of a lack of blood and a lack of wind. How long has it been like this? ”

"More than a month."

"Fortunately, it wasn't too late to find out." Xing Ruyi said, withdrawing his hand from the concubine's wrist: "I'll write a prescription first and give it to her." According to her symptoms, it is best to stay in the inn and rest these days. If you still have any symptoms, you can always come to me. For the past two days, I've been there. ”

"Lihua, she has to be ......"

"Late-trimester convulsions are rare, but not impossible."

"Does this disease matter?"

"Take medicine well, keep it in peace, it's no big deal. However, as a pregnant woman, you should also be less active. Xing Ruyi glanced at the concubine: "If you really care about the child in your womb, don't bully people casually in his name, and leave some life for yourself and the child in your womb." ”

The concubine turned her face away and said nothing.

"Angelica, Yuan ginseng, raw white peony, raw land...... These are relatively common medicines, so let the guys in the store find a random pharmacy and buy them. Serve decoction with water, twice a day. Xing Ruyi handed the prescription to Xiao Shengzi: "When you go out, you have to bring a maid with you, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"Find someone who is careful and good-natured, and let her take care of her in the room. Duan Niang, it's not suitable to stay here. ”

Xiao Shengzi glanced at Duan Niang, nodded and said, "I know this." Lihua's temperament is a little rude, also because I was too used to her in the past. Ruyi, don't worry, in the future, I won't let her bully Duan Niang again. ”

"Regardless of whether Duan Niang is born or raised, she is your original match, and she is the daughter-in-law selected by Sheng Da Niang for you. Even if you don't look at Duan Niang's sake of taking care of you wholeheartedly, you should treat her well. Xing Ruyi said, walked up to Duan Niang, and pulled her hand up: "My husband goes out to do errands, and I'm bored when I'm alone." Otherwise, you can go to my room and talk to me, and I will get you some medicine to treat your wounds in an instant. ”

"Master, can Duan Niang go?" Duan Niang cautiously consulted Xiao Shengzi's opinion.

"Go ahead, Lihua doesn't need you to take care of it here."

"Your master has spoken, what else do you care? Let's go, talk to me. ”

Returning to the room and covering the door, Xing Ruyi walked to the window and pushed open the originally closed window. With a cool invasion, Duan Niang also opened her mouth leisurely.

"Ruyi girl, if you want to ask anything, just ask."

"Why didn't you have a child?"

"My child-" Duan Niang covered her lower abdomen, and a touch of bitterness overflowed from the corners of her mouth: "It's his own bad life, and he has no blessing to come to this world." ”

"You and I are not outsiders, why bother to send me with the word bad life." Xing Ruyi poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Duan Niang: "Do you don't want to say it, or do you think it's useless to say it now." ”

"The girl misunderstood, it's not that Duan Niang doesn't want to tell the girl, it's just that she thinks the child is gone, what's the point of pursuing those now?"

"Don't you want Xiao Shengzi to know?"

"What if you know? Is it possible, can I still force the master to beg for that person's life? Speaking of which, it's still my fault. I knew that I was pregnant, and I knew that she was targeting me everywhere, but I was not careful at all. If I were more careful, my children would be able to call their mothers now. ”

"Don't you complain in your heart?"

"If you don't complain, will the girl believe it?" Duan Niang sighed: "What can you complain about?" At that time, the master was running around doing things for the third master. I originally thought that I would tell him about the child when the old man returned home. Who would have thought that in just one night, my child would be gone. There is no evidence, how can the girl tell me to the master? said that, it was just a scolding from the master. ”

"This matter, if it were for me, I was afraid that it would not be so easy to let it go."

Duan Niang glanced up at Xing Ruyi, and then lowered her eyelids.

The girl laughed, how could Duan Niang compare with the girl. Duan Niang still remembers the situation when the girl was in Luoyang. At that time, Duan Niang thought that it would be good if she could live as wanton as a girl. ”

"Really? But as far back as I can remember, I was just the proprietress of a rouge shop. ”

"She's a great proprietor." Duan Niang took a sip of tea: "Can Duan Niang take the liberty of asking, how did you come to this Yong'an City, Ruyi girl?" Is it visiting relatives and friends? ”

"Oh, no!" Xing Ruyi refilled the cup for Duan Niang: "My husband and I are preparing to go back to Luoyang, and we will stop here for a while. Duan Niang, where is this going? ”

"We're following the master."

"Errands?"

"Well, it's a matter in the court, but Duan Niang doesn't understand these things, so she didn't ask the master too much. Lihua, when she was pregnant, begged her master and wanted to go together. The master was not at ease, so he let me follow...... Well, let me take care of Lihua on my behalf. ”

"She's scared, isn't she?"

"Scared?"

"The child in your womb was taken by her. Now, she is also pregnant, and Xiao Shengzi is going out again, so she is naturally panicked. ”

"It turns out that the girl has long been aware of everything." Duan Niang shook her head helplessly: "That's right, the child in Duan Niang's womb was indeed taken away by Lihua. ”

"A concubine, it is said that she should not be so arrogant. Does this Lihua have any background? ”

Duan Niang nodded: "Lihua was given to the master by the third master." ”

"Purpose?"

"This, Duan Niang doesn't know, she only knows that Lihua's father was not originally from the third master's side. But since the third master pointed out Lihua to the master, Lihua's father led the clan to take refuge in the third master. They helped him do a lot of things in Beijing. It's just that these things are not visible. ”

"In this way, Lihua's biological father is not a powerful person, but his position is more special."

"Although I am not a powerful person, I am much better than me, the daughter of the fast catcher. If it weren't for the words left by her mother-in-law when she was dying, the Sheng family would have lost Duan Niang's place now. ”

"Why, then, would she target the child in your womb?"

"It's because of the relationship between the flat wife." Duan Niang lowered her head and looked at her abdomen: "Because my mother-in-law said it first, the master didn't dare to divorce Duan Niang and marry another." After Lihua entered the door, in order to appease her, the lord could only promise her the status of a flat wife.

As a result, there were two equal housewives in the Sheng family. She relied on her father's relationship and the third master's dependence on her father, and her temperament was inevitably arrogant.

As for me, I try to hide as much as possible on weekdays, and most of the affairs in the house are also in charge of her. So, we've been together for a while.

But this peace was finally shattered by the arrival of the child in my womb.

At first, I just felt unwell. In addition to drowsiness, lack of energy, and often feeling nauseous. After enduring it for a few days, he sent the maid beside him to invite the doctor over. After checking the pulse, I realized that I was pregnant.

Don't hide it from the girl. Since Duan Niang joined the Sheng family, her mother-in-law has always hoped that Duan Niang can spread the branches for the Sheng family. But Duan Niang was not angry, and until her mother-in-law fell ill and died, she couldn't get her wish. Regarding the matter of the child, Duan Niang almost did not have much hope. Unexpectedly, half a year after Lihua entered the house, Duan Niang was pregnant with a child.

At that time, Duan Niang really had no words to describe the mood.

When the maid next to her heard this, she was also happy for Duan Niang, and wanted to tell the master with joy. But the doctor said that the child in Duan Niang's womb was not yet full-term, and the fetal image was a little unstable, so it was better to report the good news after a while.

Duan Niang felt reasonable, so she asked the maid to follow the doctor to get the medicine to protect the fetus. ”

"And after that?"

"A few days later, Lihua suddenly came to my yard with a lot of supplements. As soon as I entered the door, she warmly called me sister and asked me why I didn't tell her about such a good thing since I was pregnant. I was a little surprised, but I didn't think anything else. She asked, and I confessed. ”

"How did Lihua know you were pregnant?"

"At first, I thought it was the maid next to me who leaked the news. The Sheng family is not a harem, and there are not many precautions between people. It is also very likely that the maid around her said that she missed her mouth because she was happy. Later, I found out that when I asked the doctor to come to the house to help me diagnose that day, I had already been seen by Lihua.

Later, she ordered someone to quietly follow the doctor back to the pharmacy, and after questioning, she learned that I was pregnant. At the same time, I also knew what the doctor told me, and knew that I didn't tell the master about my pregnancy. ”

"How did the kid not have it? Could it be that she did something in those supplements that she sent you! ”

Duan Niang shook her head: "Lihua is not so stupid. On the contrary, she gave me excellent supplements, which were excellent for me and for my children. She secretly bought off the doctor who prescribed the fetal protection pill for me. Ask the doctor to add a small amount of safflower to the tocolytic pill I have to take every day. As a result, the child was lost in less than three months. ”

"How do you know about this?"

"It was the maid next to me who overheard it. I was so heartbroken that I didn't care about anything, so I ran to ask her. She, admitted. ”

Duan Niang said, her eyes were slightly red, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand.

"After that, I got seriously ill. Originally, I wanted to go with my hard-working child. Who knows, Lord Yama refused to accept me, and let me go around the ghost gate and then return to the Sheng family.

Just now, the girl asked Duan Niang, do you feel resentful? Duan Niang's heart is not only resentment, it is simply hatred. Duan Niang couldn't wait for her to pay for the poor child in Duan Niang's womb. can be resented, hated is hate, Duan Niang is a woman, is it difficult to really kill her?

When I was complaining and hating, the days passed like that. Stay up, stay up, and your heart will be less resentful, less hateful. ”

Xing Ruyi gently held Duan Niang's hand: "It's not that I deliberately led you to mention these sad things, but I don't want these things to remain entrenched in your heart." Listen to me, letting go of the past is also forgiving yourself. ”

Duan Niang raised her head and glanced at Xing Ruyi faintly.

"Thank you, girl, Duan Niang understands!"
