In the hearts of the servants of the Xu family, doubts prevailed, and those who listened to the situation with their ears pricked up in the neighbors' homes believed more than they did not.

Xu Yan stared at Qu Niangzi and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Why slander?

Is it because the father of the child in your womb refuses to recognize you, and you urgently need to find a good way out for the child, so you want to rely on me?

You might as well tell me the identity of the other party directly, and I'll tell you for you. ”

When Qu Niangzi heard this, she hid her face and cried: "Don't you just don't recognize it!" Don't adults just don't recognize us!

I know that you have a scruple about Madame, you told me at the beginning that you will not let Madame hear the slightest gossip and let Madame add to the blockage, after all, you have achieved today thanks to Madame's strong support.

I had fulfilled your request at that time, and I didn't have a trace of extravagance in my heart, and if it weren't for the fact that I was pregnant with a child, I really couldn't do it, so I ......."

Xu Yan now had a headache when he heard her crying, and there was footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, it was the Yang family.

He hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Madame, don't listen to this woman's nonsense, I don't know her, and I have nothing to do with her." ”

Yang's face was not good-looking.

She first heard that a guest had come to the door, Xu Yan invited her to meet her, and then left Qingyu Hall.

The other party refused to enter the house, Xu Yan went to see him outside the door, and the Yang family naturally came here.

Halfway through the trip, the mother-in-law in the concierge hurriedly came to report, saying that the other party insisted that she was pregnant with Xu Yan's child, which bluffed Yang's foot.

Yang hurriedly came and heard Qu Niangzi's words.

Just listening to the content, the other party knows their husband and wife very well, which makes her heart sink.

Seeing Xu Yan who hurriedly explained, Yang suddenly came back to his senses.

She has been a husband and wife with Xu Yan for almost 20 years, and she has accompanied him from a scholar from a foreign country who has just been promoted to a waiter in the Ministry of Industry of the third grade of the official residence, Xu Yan's personality and temper, she knows and knows best.

Xu Yan is not a saint, for so many years, it is impossible to be infallible, the small one is like remembering the birth date of the Yue family, and the big one is like being caught by someone in the officialdom for a while.

But Xu Yan is a person who will admit his mistakes, what he does is what he does, and if he hasn't done it, he must not have done it.

Yang believed Xu Yan, and she said in a low voice: "If the master denies it, I will believe it." ”

She doesn't ask the details, she doesn't ask the reason, just because he says it, she believes it.

Yang's direct attitude made Xu Yan breathe a long sigh of relief and was also quite moved.

But this Qu Niang at the door is a hot potato that can't be solved.

Please come into the house and say, it seems that they are weak-hearted, and let people in the alley, who knows what else she will say.

But she couldn't help but say that people refused to enter the mansion and wanted to meet each other outside the mansion, didn't they just want the people in the entire alley, and even the people in the capital to watch the excitement?

Unstoppable.

Yang looked at Qu Niangzi and did not lower her voice, and every word could be heard by the people nearby: "The wind and dust are coming, whether this child is our Xu family or not, your body and the child's condition are the most important, I will ask people to ask for a doctor first." ”

This is reasonable, and Qu Niangzi should do it.

Yang asked again about the origin of Qu Niangzi and when he recognized Xu Yan.

Qu Niangzi didn't answer, it was the mother-in-law who spoke.

"Our lady is a native of Badong County, Jingzhou Prefecture, the Qu family is in business, and she used to have some family backgrounds, and her son has no brothers and sisters.

The lord and the lady were annoyed, so they moved to Jingzhou with their wife.

Last year's flood, Badong was seriously affected, all the ancestral property was damaged, the old lady went back to deal with it, and the lady and the old slave stayed in Jingzhou City.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the government distributed food to the people affected by the disaster in the city, and the lady went to make a fuss and recognized Lord Xu.

It's also a coincidence, I met a few times in the first month, and it got better.

At that time, it was said that this relationship could not be seen in the light, and it could not be known to colleagues in the two lakes, so it was kept secret.

In April, people came to Padang to report that the old man and his wife were sick, and the lady returned to Padang.

She has always been in poor health, so she never knew that she was pregnant, until her belly was bigger, and she did not ......

But the old lady couldn't stand it, and the lady could only settle the matter first, and she didn't dare to make someone pass the word to Lord Xu, for fear of leaking the news.

The family is miserable, the old man and the wife have just entered the soil, and the family property has been divided up by the clan, how to raise a child in this way?

The lady only returned to Jingzhou, who knew that Lord Xu had returned to Beijing, and the lady was desperate, so she sold her jewelry for entanglement, and found it all the way. ”

Badong County, located upstream of Jingzhou Prefecture, is indeed one of the hardest-hit areas.

Yang glanced at Qu Niangzi's belly, according to the mother-in-law's words, this child was probably born in February.

When the other party made up a story to find the door, it must have been scrutinized, and there was no loophole for a while.

Xu Yan denied it completely, in exchange for a series of tears from Qu Niangzi.

The doctor was called, it was the doctor Zhao who had diagnosed Wu's pulse before, she was famous in Beijing for diagnosing pregnant women, and the official eunuch family, but all the things about the pot-bellied woman loved to look for her.

Dr. Zhao has been in and out of the official house a lot, and it was the first time she met a woman who moved a stool to check her pulse in the alley.

She touched the pulse carefully and said, "Judging from the pulse, this child is in danger, and whether he can fall safely is two words." ”

Qu Niangzi looked horrified: "How can a full-term child not survive?" ”

"Your health is not good, and you haven't taken good care of it these days, and it's already a blessing that it's still in your belly at this time," Doctor Zhao said, "Whether you can live after that is all destined by heaven, it's useless for you to worry about it, it's better to calm down and raise it first." As you said, at full term, you have a good chance of survival. ”

Qu Niangzi couldn't cry.

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "How can there be a doctor like you?" You're going to be scared out of everything! ”

Doctor Zhao said: "If you blindly say that it sounds good, if it is not good to be born, won't it depend on me?" Even the child's father can rely on it, what is it to rely on a doctor? ”

"What do you mean by that?" The mother-in-law chirped, "You don't want to spew blood!" ”

Doctor Zhao packed up the medicine box and said, "Don't be afraid to say it, my mother's brother does things for the yamen, Lord Xu has helped twice, I believe in Lord Xu's character, he won't sleep like you said but don't recognize it." ”

At this time, Dr. Zhao bluntly supported Xu Yan, but she couldn't influence the thoughts of others.

Aoyagi Hutong was so lively, and within an hour, the street spread.

As soon as he said it everywhere, Yang Xiyu's little things were all left behind, and only the Xu family was said.

Someone drank a bowl of wine, patted his thigh and said, "I'll just say it!" Yang Ergongzi took Mrs. Shilang's maid, such a shameful thing, Xu Shilang didn't say anything, and he didn't blame Madame, it turned out that he was more weak-hearted! provoked a desperate little lady outside, no wonder she didn't dare to make trouble with her wife. ”
