Chapter 172: Tragedy
The lotus flower is pregnant for less than ten months, and seeing red at this time is not a good sign. Lin Yingxue glanced at the wrist that she had finally pulled out of the lotus's mouth, only to see that the flesh and skin on her wrist were rolling, and the wound was deep and the bone was visible, if it weren't for the lotus's lack of strength, she would definitely be bitten off by the person in front of her!
"Master?" Leng Yue frowned and glanced at Lin Yingxue's wrist, if it weren't for understanding Lin Yingxue's temperament, the lotus flower would have been a corpse at this time, and there would be no chance to hurt Lin Yingxue at all.
"No-" Lin Yingxue was just about to answer, when she suddenly heard a loud noise, and several people in the courtyard couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the same time, but saw Zhang Su's eyes widened, lying on his back, and said in a slightly mocking and smug tone: "Don't you want to know the identity of the adult from my mouth?" Aren't you trying to use my family to get out of my mouth? I'm telling you, even if you're dead, you don't want to get the slightest news from me, hahaha......"
Zhang Su's crazy voice slowly lowered, a layer of death-like gray and black slowly clinging to his entire face, looking at Zhang Su, who was gradually silent, the courtyard suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and finally Leng Yue stepped forward to probe Zhang Su's pulse.
"Poisoned to death." Leng Yue is concise and clear.
As soon as Leng Yue's words came out, the lotus, who was originally supported by Zhang's mother and could barely stand, finally rolled the whites of her eyes and fainted.
"Lotus! Su'er! "His son died, his daughter-in-law was in danger, and the Zhang family and his wife suffered a sudden change and almost collapsed.
Seeing that Zhang's mother was also about to fall, Lin Yingxue hurriedly went up and pinched Zhang's mother's tiger mouth and the human middle heavily, "The lotus and the child may still be saved, carry the person to the house." ”
There were no superfluous words, but just this sentence was enough to make Zhang's mother barely raise some spirits. The three women worked together to carry the lotus flower into the house, and Zhang's father on the side hung his head and kept guarding Zhang Su's corpse, and others couldn't see his expression clearly, and they didn't know what he was thinking.
Childbirth is an extremely dangerous thing, and the old people often say that a woman's childbirth is like coming back from a ghost gate, which is not adulterated at all. Lin Yingxue endured the pain in her wrist, and while checking the pulse of the lotus, she instructed Zhang's mother to prepare hot water and other items to come in.
"Leng Yue, go and ask for a midwife!" Although she is half a doctor, she has no experience in midwifery, so it is safer to invite a midwife to come.
"Subordinate......" Ran Lengyue was a little worried, Lin Yingxue stayed here alone.
"I'll go." Just when Leng Yue was hesitating, Zhang's mother, who happened to come in with hot water, hurriedly said: "We have already seen the midwife before, and we also said that the midwife is near here, I will invite it......"
As she spoke, Mother Zhang hurriedly put down the hot water and wanted to go out, but when she walked to the door, she stopped, "Our lotus, please Miss Fifth must try her best to ......" After saying this, Mother Zhang hurriedly walked out without waiting for Lin Yingxue to answer again.
Lin Yingxue looked at the empty doorway, remembered what Zhang's mother said, and remembered that when her life was hanging by a thread, there was no one standing by her side at that time, she could only watch her body cold inch by inch, and feel the fetus in her womb gradually stop moving......
Recalling the past, Lin Yingxue involuntarily reached out and touched her flat lower abdomen, and then she looked at the woman on the bed with her eyes closed, and a trace of firmness flashed in her eyes.
"Leng Yue, I'll wake people up in a while, and you're responsible for holding people down." Lin Yingxue looked at the situation of the lotus, the situation was very bad, there was not much time left for her, she had to wake up the lotus flower as soon as possible and give birth to the child, otherwise the child would likely be stillborn due to lack of oxygen, but the lotus resented her too much, and she was afraid that the person in the bed would not be able to control her emotions when she opened her eyes, so she could only let Leng Yue help hold the person down.
"Yes." Leng Yue responded in a deep voice, the master and servant had a clear division of labor, and each performed its own duties.
After a while, the lotus flower woke up leisurely under Lin Yingxue's hands, and the moment she saw Lin Yingxue, the lotus flower really began to get excited again, if it weren't for the cold moon pressing firmly on the side, I'm afraid that the person on the bed would have jumped up by now.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Yingxue hurriedly frowned and said: "Zhang Su is dead, and now he is the only flesh and blood in your womb, if you want to leave him behind, try to give birth to this child." ”
Hearing Lin Yingxue's words, the lotus flower, who was originally struggling to sit up and deal with Lin Yingxue, immediately quieted down, but just when Lin Yingxue thought that her persuasion had worked, the words of the person on the bed made Lin Yingxue freeze in place on the spot - "Xianggong is gone, what am I still doing in the world?" And this child, why don't you go down with me to accompany his father. ”
After saying that, Lotus closed her eyes and didn't move, as if she had made up her mind to let this child die with him.
Lin Yingxue was angry for a while, she really couldn't figure out how someone like Zhang Su could find such an infatuated wife!
"Do you know why Zhang Su committed suicide in the end, and why he wanted to act like he didn't care about you in front of me?" Lin Yingxue thought about it, and finally planned to start persuading Zhang Su.
Sure enough, hearing her question, Lotus's eyes moved, and after a pause, Lin Yingxue saw Lotus reopen her eyes.
"Why?" Lotus's eyes were full of puzzlement, maybe she had never even understood Zhang Su, the only thought in her mind was that Zhang Su was her father-in-law, as long as it was Zhang Su said, whether it was right or wrong, she would do it.
"Because he wants you to live." When Lin Yingxue said this, her mood was very complicated, because she didn't think of Zhang Su's true purpose until just now: "He committed the crime of death, and he knew that he was going to die sooner or later, so he deliberately pretended to be in front of me that he didn't take you to heart at all, and the reason why he chose to commit suicide was that he really didn't want to reveal the secrets he knew, and second, only when he died, this matter would be over, and I had no way to use you to get the news I wanted from him." ”
And the most important point is that Zhang Su has calculated her heart. He knew that after his death, Lin Yingxue would definitely not be angry with the ignorant Zhang family couple, let alone touch a weak woman who was pregnant...... From the very beginning, Zhang Su had already seen through her, so he could use her to make the prince fall into the trap that Li Chao had designed step by step.
It's all because she wasn't ruthless enough.
After listening to Lin Yingxue's words, the lotus flower was silent for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word from her teeth: "Sheng!" ”
Although Lotus changed her mind, the situation was not optimistic because the child was not full-term and the situation of the second mother and fetus was too bad. Lin Yingxue frowned and worked hard for a long time, even her underwear was soaked, but the child still showed no signs of coming out, and the lotus flower also saw that she had no strength.
What to do? Lin Yingxue's heart gradually rose a sense of powerlessness.
"How's the lotus?" Zhang's mother was supported by the midwife - because of the heavy rain on the way, Zhang's mother fell.
When she came back, Zhang's mother was still wet, Lin Yingxue glanced at Zhang's mother, and shook her head helplessly, "I've done my best." But neither the child nor the lotus could be saved.
When Mother Zhang heard this, her legs were weak, and she immediately fell to the ground, but Lin Yingxue was already extremely tired at this time, and she didn't even turn her head to look at Mother Zhang and walked towards the house with vague steps.
The rain was very heavy, hitting the eaves and 'crackling', Leng Yue frowned lightly and glanced back at Lin Yingxue, and was about to ask Lin Yingxue if she wanted to wait for the rain to be lighter before leaving, but Lin Yingxue was like an ignorant puppet, rushing straight into the torrential rain.
"Lotus, lotus, my daughter-in-law......"
There seemed to be a faint cry of pain behind him, one by one, as Lin Yingxue went away, this mournful cry gradually weakened, until it could no longer be heard.
The next morning, it was a sunny day, and the heavy rain overnight washed away the entire Guang'an City, and all the dirt was temporarily washed away.
"Miss, the guard guarding the door just now said that there was a strange man at the door, saying that Miss Fifth had killed his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, and the guard asked if you wanted to drive this person away?" When Lumei entered the room, Lin Yingling was playing Hache, letting her subordinates dress her up.
There were troublemakers at the door of the Lin family, and the guards did not drive the people away as soon as possible, but instead sent someone to pass the news to Lin Yingling, obviously everyone in the Lin family knew that the fifth lady who had been in the limelight recently was about to leave the Lin family, so they all rushed out to curry favor with Lin Yingling.
"Oh?" When Lin Yingling heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a little interest appeared on her face.
