Chapter 080: Safflower Drink (22)
The night has never been so dark.
Wang Jiaxinna's aunt was pressed to the bed by two maids, and the child in her womb already had traces of fetal movement, and when she tried to struggle, the little life also moved violently. The new aunt looked helplessly at her lower abdomen, which was already visibly bulging, and turned to look at the eldest lady with a pleading gaze.
"Madam, please, just let the slave family go."
The eldest lady just glanced at her coldly. When he heard footsteps outside the door, he turned and turned his face to the door. The second lady was led to the door by a maid, and she wore a black cloak, the cap of which was so large that it covered her whole face.
The maid advanced to the door, walked up to the eldest lady, saluted, and said, "The slave has invited the second lady." ”
The eldest lady hummed softly, and the maid stood aside neatly. The new aunt noticed that when the maid stood still, the corner of her eye unconsciously glanced towards her. The gaze was very complex, with both sympathy and schadenfreude.
The second lady stood at the door for a while before taking off her hat. The hosta that was originally worn in the bun is gone, replaced by a silver hairpin that has always been well-made, and the hairpin is depicted with lifelike patterns of flowers and birds. The eldest lady looked at her for a day and said, "Don't come in yet?" ”
"I wonder what the eldest lady called me?" The second lady said, took off the entire cloak, and then handed it to the maid closest to the door, followed to the eldest lady, and also made a salute: "In the middle of the night, what is the eldest lady going to do?" ”
"Do you know the origin of this new aunt?"
"I heard that it came out of a snowstorm place." The second lady sat down on her own, glanced at the teapot on the table, but did not move. "Isn't the eldest lady angry because of this? Why bother? This man is all the same, tired of looking at old things, always looking for something new to come back. It's just that the background of this new aunt is a little lower, and the eldest lady should not be used to it. ”
"There can be a few serious women coming out of this snowstorm place." The eldest lady lowered her voice: "When the master brought her back, why didn't you stop it?" ”
"I wanted to stop it, but when the master came back, no one told him. By the time I knew it, our new aunt had already entered the door of the Wang family. Your Lady knows my situation. In the old days, work more, talk less, and make do to get a face in front of the master, if you talk too much, I'm afraid that you will make the master unhappy.
Besides, I also heard from the housekeeper in the house, saying that this new aunt is a showman who does not sell herself, and she is also a backbone when she thinks about it, and it is rare for the lord to like it. ”
"It's a good showman, not a sellout." The eldest lady sneered, pointed to the new aunt on the bed, and said, "Go and ask her, who is the child in her womb?" ”
"Kid? Isn't the kid the master's? The second lady deliberately pretended to be taken aback: "This is what the master said in person when he returned home with his new aunt." The lord also specially instructed me to take good care of my new aunt and the child in her womb. Now, when the eldest lady asks like this, I don't know what to say. ”
"If you ask, you ask, where did all this gossip come from."
"Okay, okay, I'll ask, I'll ask, can't I? This self-sown seed, what grows, the master can still be mistaken. ”
The second lady got up as she spoke, walked to the bed, and glanced at the new aunt.
"Second lady, second lady save me."
As soon as the new aunt wanted to struggle, she was pressed down by the two powerful maids.
"Save you? We are all sisters, how can we use such serious words. I said that you should also be light, if you crush our new aunt, the master will pursue it, but there will be no good fruit to eat. ”
The second lady said, but there was no corresponding movement in her hand, she just pulled her clothes with her hand, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the new aunt's already pregnant belly and asked, "The eldest lady said just now, I think you also heard it." You tell me honestly, is the child in your belly the master's. ”
"I have already spoken these words to the eldest lady."
"Now that I've already told the eldest lady, you might as well tell me about it again. The eldest lady urged me to ask you, probably because you didn't make it clear when you said it, so the eldest lady didn't hear it clearly. Well, I'll turn my ear to one side, and you'll be louder. Isn't that all there is to it inside and out, and if you make it clear, it's fine. ”
"Second lady!" The new aunt shouted: "Please, please find the master, okay?" ”
"Look at you, you have to upset the eldest lady, don't you? This is the so-called, the male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside. The affairs in our Wang family's back house are all decided by the eldest lady. Besides, the eldest lady is asking about the child in your belly, what do you have to pull the master over? If the child in your womb is really ...... Doesn't it make the old man ugly? ”
"The lord knows! The lord knows it! ”
"You tell me carefully, what does the master know?"
"The lord knows that the child in my womb is not his."
As soon as the new aunt finished speaking, the second lady stood up with a straight face.
"Auntie, you can't talk nonsense. This heir is related to the future of our Wang family. You said that you didn't have the blood and blood of the lord in your belly, but you kept saying that the lord knew that the child was not his. What do you mean by that? Is it possible, the master is willing to do that......" The second lady deliberately swallowed the words behind, and then raised her head and looked towards the eldest lady.
"Really, what I said is true. I wasn't the master's concubine, but the master brought me back by himself. I, I went to the king's house, and I took refuge. Two ladies, please, please call the master. The inside story is clear to the master. I'm not telling a lie. The child in my womb is indeed not the master's, but I did not hide it from the master at all. ”
The new aunt spoke incoherently, and the more she spoke, the tighter the eldest lady's brows became. Before she could finish speaking, the eldest lady stood up: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and bring the medicine to her to drink." ”
The child in the belly kicked more and more violently.
The new aunt began to struggle hard to sit up from the bed.
The maid in front of the eldest lady walked over quickly with a decoction. walked to the bed, glanced at it, and said to the two maids who were holding the new aunt: "Help her up, like this, how do I feed the medicine." ”
The new aunt was pulled up, and she took the opportunity to break free from the two maids and wanted to escape. In a panic, I touched the medicine in the hand of the medicine maid, and most of the medicine spilled out, and some of it got on the new aunt's clothes. But soon, she was dragged back to bed.
The maid looked at the medicine in the bowl, walked to the table, added some more water from the teapot, and then brought it to the new aunt and forcibly fed it to her mouth.
"What kind of medicine are these?"
The second lady stood in front of the bed, neither stepped forward to help feed the medicine, nor did she take half a step back. In her own words, her position in the Wang family is the same as standing in this room. She was unwilling to offend this aunt who had just started, and she was even more unwilling to provoke her former mother, the eldest lady of the Wang family.
The medicine smelled a little unpleasant, and the second lady habitually took out her brocade and covered her mouth and nose.
At this time, the medicine maid suddenly turned to the second lady and said, "Please do the second lady a favor, this aunt is not happy with our wife, but she clenched her teeth tightly." I'm going to see if it's her teeth or my fists. ”
The medicine maid said, and handed the medicine bowl in her hand to the second lady. The second lady didn't even have time to think about it, so she subconsciously took it. What happened next seemed to be beyond everyone's imagination, and even the eldest lady didn't expect that her maid would clench her fist and hit the new aunt on the cheek at once.
The clenched teeth were forced to loosen, and half of the liquid in the mouth spurted out, and half was hit into the stomach.
At the moment when the medicinal juice splashed out, the second lady subconsciously blocked it with her own brocade handkerchief. Because the action was too big, some of the medicine in the medicine bowl spilled out.
The new aunt didn't hide after all, and the maid poured all the remaining medicinal juice in the bowl into her. She struggled only twice, then rolled her eyes and lay down on the bed, and then remained motionless.
The new aunt died, along with the child in her womb.
Whether it is the eldest lady or the second lady, they are a little surprised by this result. Because, none of them thought about asking for the life of the new aunt.
"And how did this new aunt die?"
"I should say I choked to death."
"Choking?"
The fox frowned and looked at the soul of the new aunt sitting alone on the bed.
"I was choked to death. When she was pouring the medicine, she choked on her trachea because of her struggle and emotional excitement, so she choked at once. If emergency treatment had been carried out at that time, people might have survived. Obviously, the people at the scene were frightened by the accident, and I don't think they knew how to do first aid. ”
"And what if you don't get choked?"
"It's also hard to predict the outcome."
Xing Ruyi said, moving his gaze to the teapot and the matching teacup.
"In addition to the abortion/abortion pill containing a lot of safflower that the eldest lady asked the maid to bring, I also found something in that teamu. That thing plus saffron, the child in the womb of the new aunt will definitely die. As for the new aunt, she can live a few days longer than the child, but if no one reminds her, this extra day is a kind of torture for her. ”
"Who ordered the things in the teapot?"
"Maybe it's the second lady, maybe it's the old man, maybe it's someone who is still hiding in the mansion. Who knows? After all, this person's heart is much more unpredictable than a ghost. ”
