There was still some distance from the guest room, and Xing Ruyi heard the moaning of the woman in the room, and the painful moans were accompanied by cursing from time to time.

Hearing those curses, Xiao Shengzi seemed to feel a little unbearable on his face. He wrenched his hands twice and explained, "She's not feeling well, so she's not in a good mood." You don't mind. ”

"Patient, it's normal to have some emotions."

Xing Ruyi said, pushing open the door. Something was thrown out from the inside. She subconsciously dodged, but heard Xiao Shengzi next to her screaming. When I looked at it again, I saw Xiao Shengzi covering his forehead, his head had been smashed with blood, and the thing that had just been thrown out was caught by the little second who was following closely behind Xing Ruyi.

A tea bowl was still steaming, but Xiao Shengzi didn't get much tea on his body. This shows that the hand in which the tea bowl was thrown over is already empty.

"Old ...... Master. ”

The woman, who had been half-kneeling in front of the bed, turned around when she heard the voice. That woman, Xing Ruyi knew, was the only daughter of Duan Zhutou of the Jingshi Yamen. It's just that she wasn't as submissive as she is now, and she didn't have so many sad expressions on her face.

Looking closely, I found that her front placket was a lot wet, and her face also had a layer of moisture.

"Master, master, you are here, you are about to feel uncomfortable and die as a concubine."

"Got it, got it, I don't want to find a doctor for you." Xiao Shengzi didn't care about the injury on his face, and he didn't even care about Duan Niang, who was still kneeling in front of the bed, so he threw himself in front of the bed and directly held the concubine's hand.

"Are you alright?"

Xing Ruyi walked up to Duan Niang, only to find that her right cheek and neck were burned red.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Duan Niang lowered her head and subconsciously covered her cheeks with her hands.

On her hands, there were many scars. Some are hot, some are pinched, and some seem to be stepped on with the soles of their shoes. Xing Ruyi frowned, grabbed her hand and asked, "Where did these injuries come from?" ”

"Yes, I accidentally got it myself." Duan Niang cautiously glanced at the beautiful woman lying on the bed.

"I don't know how you can toss yourself out of so many wounds?" Xing Ruyi glanced at the woman lying on the bed. Judging by the contours of her abdomen, she was at least seven or eight months pregnant. Coupled with her unkind eyes, it can be determined on the spot that she is deliberately embarrassing Duan Niang for the sake of the child in her womb.

The burn on his face and neck is all due to the tea bowl just now. As for the scars on her hands and arms, it shows that Duan Niang has not been bullied by this concubine for a day or two.

She stretched out her hand and grabbed Duan Niang's arm: "Get up, go over there, I'll rub the medicine for you." ”

"Who are you? Why did you call her up? ”

Seeing Xing Ruyi go to help Duan Niang, the concubine who was moaning about to die just now actually sat up from the bed, and then reached out and grabbed Duan Niang's sleeve.

"I don't open my mouth, you dare to get up and try."

"What do you want?" Xing Ruyi glanced at the concubine, and then said to Xiao Shengzi: "If you didn't say it wrong, and I didn't hear it wrong, Duan Niang is your original wife, right?" ”

"Yes! But ......" Xiao Shengzi looked at the concubine and seemed a little embarrassed: "But she is pregnant." ”

"If you are pregnant, you can be the head of the house? If you are pregnant, this little concubine can use your original wife as a maid?"

"Who's the housewife?" The concubine held her stomach: "A woman who can't even give birth to a child, why should she be the head of the Sheng family!" Besides, I'm not a concubine. When I started, my lord had already said that I was a flat wife. ”

"Flat wife, are you worthy too?" Xing Ruyi sneered: "Didn't you ask me just now, why did Duan Niang become the head of the Sheng family?" Then I'll tell you, because she is the daughter-in-law personally selected by Mrs. Sheng, and she was married by your master. ”

"I'm also married to my master."

"That's also after Duan Niang, even if it's a flat wife, you have to call her sister. Besides, according to your temperament, I don't think Mrs. Sheng will allow you to be another housewife of the Sheng family. ”

"Open your mouth and close your mouth, who do you think you are? Besides, besides, the old lady would have died a long time ago. A dead man can still influence our Sheng family. ”

"Shut up!" Xiao Shengzi's face changed: "The old lady in your mouth who has already died is my mother." ”

"Yes and what? Am I wrong? Isn't your mother an old lady? Is she already dead? The little concubine screamed with a stalk around her neck, and her face turned pale because of discomfort just after shouting: "Quick, find a doctor quickly." ”

"Ruyi, Ruyi, help her take a look."

"I don't want her to see it!" The concubine pushed Xiao Shengzi with her hand.

"You think I'm willing to show you." Xing Ruyi deliberately glanced at the concubine, and then helped Duan Niang up, "Don't worry, I can treat these injuries on your body." ”

"I don't care, you better take a look at her first. Although she has a bad temper, what she is pregnant with is the flesh and blood of the old man. ”

"She bullied you, and you are still in the mood to care about her life and death."

"You're a wishful girl, aren't you?" Duan Niang asked cautiously: "I just heard the master call you Ruyi, I still don't dare to admit it." When I was in Luoyang, I also went to your rouge shop. Unexpectedly, after many years, you are still exactly the same as before, and even your temperament and temper have not changed much. ”

"Who said nothing has changed." Xing Ruyi pointed to his hairstyle.

"Miss Ruyi must have found a wonderful husband." Duan Niang's eyes showed a little envy: "If it weren't for this, it would be impossible to maintain this nature." ”

"That's right. Women are like flowers, men are like mud, whether this flower blooms well or not, whether it is glamorous or not, and this soil also has a great relationship. ”

"It's my fault, it's all my fault, it's me who treated Duan Niang badly." Xiao Shengzi said and slapped himself in the face: "Please don't mind my little concubine, help her take a look." ”

"Yes, Miss Ruyi, Duan Niang also begs you, help her take a look." Duan Niang looked at Xing Ruyi with pleading eyes: "I have skin injuries, don't worry about them." ”

"It's not that I don't help her, it's that she doesn't want it." Xing Ruyi pointed to the concubine on the bed.

"Lihua, hurry, quickly admit your mistake to Ruyi!" Xiao Shengzi returned to the side of the bed and gently shook the concubine's shoulder.

"I ...... Why should I admit my mistake to her? Also, sir, who are you, and why do you speak to her with such cautious words. She...... She's just a country woman. ”

"Smack!"

Xiao Shengzi threw down a slap, but this slap fell on the face of the concubine.

"Admit your mistake!"

"Sir."

The concubine was beaten, and because of her body, her face became more and more pale, and even her eyes were scattered.

Although Duan Niang was a little stunned, shocked that her husband would actually do something to her favorite concubine, there was a trace of joy hidden behind her calm eyes. This kind of cheerfulness is the most direct emotional feedback to yourself for being oppressed for a long time.

"Lihua, you shouldn't say these inappropriate things in front of the master. Ruyi girl is the old friend of the master. ”

"Friends?" The concubine was out of breath: "Is it an old friend, or is it a good old day?" ”

"Remember the painting in the old man's room? Ruyi girl, she is the person in the painting. Duan Niang said calmly, but even Xing Ruyi heard the deliberateness behind this calmness. At the beginning, you also asked the master the same thing, and even asked your maid to tear the painting off. As a result, you were punished to kneel in the courtyard for three days and three nights. If it weren't for the old man's begging, where would you be lying here and saying these offensive words now. ”

After listening to Duan Niang's words, the concubine's face became more and more ugly.

Xing Ruyi was just curious about the painting in Duan Niang's mouth.

"That painting was painted by the third master himself. He asked the master to inquire privately about your whereabouts, Miss Ruyi. When the master got the painting, he hung it in his study. Lihua, who had just entered the door at the time, didn't know the relationship between the third master, the master and the Ruyi girl, so she tore up the painting. When the third master learned of this, he was furious, so he ordered someone to go to the mansion and take Lihua's head. The old man begged the third master for a long time before he saved her. ”

Xing Ruyi sighed softly, looked at the concubine who was already sick and a little jealous of her, and said, "In this way, I am really someone you can't afford to mess with." Oh, I forgot to tell you, my temper is not very good, and I am a person and a person who does things according to the mood of the moment. ”

"Master......" The concubine shook slightly.

"Ruyi ......" Xiao Shengzi also turned white: "Lihua, she is not sensible, you must not care about her words." ”

"She's not one of mine, so why should I care." Xing Ruyi snorted lightly: "I just don't look down on her barbaric domineering." Is it great to be pregnant with a child? If you are pregnant with a child, can you wantonly bully your original wife? Also, it's not that Duan Niang can't give birth, but ......"

"Ruyi girl." Duan Niang urgently called Ruyi, and then shook her head gently: "Duan Niang implores the girl, adults don't care about villains, help Lihua take a look." The old man is not young anymore, and he has to have a child by his side. Moreover, this is also the mother-in-law's greatest wish before her death. She hopes that the Sheng family can have a descendant, who can spread out and have more children. ”

"Alright! Today, for the sake of Xiao Shengzi and Duan Niang, I reluctantly help her take a look. However, I have something to say. If I heal her today, she will only be a concubine of the Sheng family, not a flat wife. ”

The latter sentence was deliberately said by Xing Ruyi to Xiao Shengzi. Seeing Xiao Shengzi nodding, she walked to the side of the bed and grabbed the concubine's wrist.

"What are her usual symptoms?"

Xiao Shengzi glanced at Duan Niang.

Lihua has been pregnant for more than eight months, but in recent days, she has often had inexplicable convulsions, and even signs of aggravation. In addition to these, she often feels dizzy and has no appetite. ”

"I don't have an appetite, and it's not because you're at fault. You make things that make me sick to my stomach every day, where do I get the appetite to eat. I can't eat, do I get dizzy? Don't be a good person here, pretend to be pitiful, it's clear that you don't want me to give birth to my master's child. You're taking revenge on me, you're taking revenge on ......."

"Okay Lihua, don't mention the past." Duan Niang suddenly raised her voice, "Since the master invited Miss Ruyi over, she naturally knows what kind of illness you are suffering from." ”
