At the beginning of the day after the snow, Ji Erlan walked slowly through the mansion and followed the verandah all the way to the residence of the Qin family. On one side of her dressing table, a pot of vegetarian plum blossoms stretches flower branches, and the goose yellow bones are half-open and half-closed, delicate and low-hanging, with an excellent posture. It was sent by Ji Chenglin the day before yesterday.

Qin sat in front of the bronze mirror with his back to the door, and carefully traced his Emei. That kind of meticulous and delicate slight movement is something that Ji Erlan has not seen for many years. She couldn't help but be a little surprised, although the Qin family had met many young ladies from various provinces through Mrs. Fang, but as she got older, her clothes became more and more decent, but her makeup was very low-key, and she didn't care too much. What's going on today?

"Auntie?" Ji Erlan called softly, the Luo Dai in Qin's hand had already drawn the last stroke at the end of her eyebrows, turned her head to look at her, and between her faces, there was a kind of shame and panic that the girl was peeping into her mind, she quickly put Luo Dai into the makeup box: "Erlan is here?" ”

Qin's unusual look made Ji Erlan's heart rise a little strange. She suddenly had a bad premonition, but she couldn't implement it, so she had to say: "A-Niang's makeup painting today is good, at first glance, it is actually a girl's appearance, especially this distant mountain eyebrow, full of charm." ”

"You coax me, A-Niang is old." Although Qin said this, a smile appeared on his face, and that smile was mixed with a little joy. Ji Erlan only felt that his heartbeat was speeding up, and he looked into Qin's eyes and asked, "A-Niang...... But what's the good thing? ”

The Qin clan was a little embarrassed and said, "Er Lan is so smart, he can't hide anything from you. Her eyes paused slightly, and her hand subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "A-Niang seems to be pregnant again......"

"What!" Ji Erlan chuckled in her heart, and stood up from the chair suddenly, because it was too sudden, Ah Tan, who was pouring tea for her on the side, was so shocked that she dropped the tea cup in her hand and fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound. Ji Erlan, who was stunned: "Second girl, what's wrong?" ”

The Qin clan was also taken aback by her reaction, and said worriedly, "Er Lan, what's wrong?" ”

Ji Erlan looked at Qin, and several thoughts flashed through his mind in a few breaths, but he immediately denied it. She sat down slowly, took Qin's hand, and tried her best to put her voice in the ordinary: "A-Niang, can you let Su Gu feel the pulse?" ”

Qin Shi was still a little surprised, shook his head slowly, and said: "It's not true, it's just that A-Niang has already given birth to three children, and if she is pregnant, she will always be aware of it." Ah Tan said on the side: "Mrs.'s monthly letter this time is indeed a lot late, about half a month. ”

Ji Erlan pondered for a moment and instructed Ah Tan, "You go and call Su Gu over." ”

Ah Tan was a little nervous by Ji Erlan's look, agreed, and immediately ran out with his skirt. In just a moment, Su Gu entered the Qin family's house with an inexplicable expression. "Madam, second girl."

Ji Erlan nodded silently and motioned for her to check Qin's pulse.

Su Gu was quiet for a moment, put his hand on Qin's wrist, and touched it carefully a few times, his face kept changing. "Has my wife been feeling unwell lately?"

Qin didn't know why Ji Erlan was like this, his tone was a little hesitant, and said: "Recently, I have been tired and sleepy, and there is occasional hidden pain in my lower abdomen, my heartbeat will suddenly become faster, and my body temperature is higher than usual...... "She has been a person who has given birth to many times, and naturally knows the situation of pregnancy very well, so it is very clear and concise to say, and every sentence is a symptom of pregnancy at the beginning.

Ji Erlan looked at Su Gu, Su Gu's face was a little ugly, but he still nodded and said, "The symptoms that Mrs. said are indeed like being pregnant, but the pulse is slightly different from Ximai......

Qin Shi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this mean?" Haven't figured it out? As she spoke, she exposed her wrist again and motioned for Su Gu to take a closer look. Su Gu saw that Ji Erlan didn't make a sound, so he carefully touched the pulse again, and the result was still the same.

"Madam, although it does seem to be pregnant, but ......" She glanced at Ji Erlan, did not say any more, only said: "Mrs. is definitely not pregnant at this time, I am afraid that something is abnormal." ”

Qin Shi was stunned: "Isn't she pregnant?" She stroked her lower abdomen. Strangely said: "Even if there is something abnormal, why are you so sure that it is not Ximai?" ”

Su Gu was silent, hanging his head and not speaking.

Ji Erlan motioned for her to go out with Ah Tan first, and she considered her words. After a moment, he said in Qin's nervous gaze: "Ah Niang, father, he ...... There can be no more children. ”

Qin's expression was puzzled, as if he didn't understand for a long time: "What do you mean by this?" ”

When Ji Erlan made this decision, she had a clear purpose. Ji Chenglin wanted to harm the Qin family and marry another high-ranking girl, she would never let such a thing happen, but she couldn't stop Ji Chenglin from taking a concubine. It is enough for the Ji family to have two sons and three daughters, and the two Ji Yun brothers are both from the Qin family, which is enough for the Qin family to gain a firm foothold in the Ji Mansion. Therefore, she eliminated Ji Chenglin's thoughts from the most fundamental point, although Ji Chenglin was feasible to have sex at this time, it was impossible to have any more heirs.

"Daddy's body, it is impossible to have any more children."

Her tone was clear and affirmative, which made Qin's face change a little bit. "You...... What did you do to your father? ”

"Ah Niang......" Ji Erlan wanted to take a thread out of the thousands of threads and explain to her, but what happened in the past life and what has not happened in this life, how can she explain it clearly? She could only say: "A-Niang's body must have something wrong, I will let Su Gu pay close attention." Also, if you go to someone else's house, even if it's a Fang house, you must pay careful attention to what you eat and what you have at hand......"

"Erlan!" Qin interrupted Ji Erlan's words.

Ji Erlan was stunned, in her impression, the Qin family was soft and smooth at all times, and it was the first time she had seen her speak loudly like this. "A-Niang, listen to me......"

Tears gradually welled up in Qin's eyes, and she repeated the question just now: "What did you do to your father?!" ”

Ji Erlan sighed slightly. She knew that in Qin's heart, Ji Chenglin was the person she wanted to follow all her life, even if Ji Chenglin had been neglected for many years, she still silently guarded her duty as a wife. In particular, Ji Chenglin's care for her with ulterior motives recently made her hope for their conjugal love, and looked forward to returning to the way they supported each other when they were young couples.

However, all this is just her extravagant fantasy.

"Auntie, a long time ago, I instructed Su Gu to secretly give my father medicine, in this life, except for the current children, it is impossible for him to have other children." Ji Erlan looked at the Qin family's increasingly pale and unbelievable face, and her words were calm and calm, without the slightest hesitation and emotion: "Even if she is about to enter the mansion, it is impossible for that young and beautiful concubine to give birth to an heir and threaten A-Niang." ”

Qin Shi hadn't reacted to her previous words yet, but was hit by her later words. So much so that she shook her head for a long time, subconsciously repulsing.

Ji Erlan didn't speak, just waiting for the Qin clan to digest the two pieces of news by himself.

It was almost a stick of incense before the Qin clan said, "Er Lan, you shouldn't be like this...... Even if your father takes a concubine or accepts a few intercourse, I am her wife. You have harmed him, but I have deprived him of the right to bear children for him. Erlan, how can you do this, even if he is not your biological father, even if ...... He used to be very cold to you, at least he raised you as an adult, didn't he? How could you do such a thing! ”

"In the future, A-Niang will know why I did this." She was momentarily disappointed by Qin's misunderstanding. When Ji Chenglin was given that kind of medicine, Ji Erlan didn't know that she was not the biological daughter of the Ji family, and she was completely planning for the Qin family. What's more, Ji Chenglin is not as simple as being cold to her at all, if you think about the absurdity of her life in her previous life, it was all thanks to Ji Chenglin.

She didn't want to explain, but said: "Xue Jingzhi, the Qing of Dali Temple, has a niece who has been ruined since the accident of her previous fiancé's family, and she has not married three out of twenty. Does A-Niang know the stakes involved? Everything I do is for my mother to be safe and smooth in the future. ”

"Good concubine?" The Qin family was stunned, Aunt Gu was also innocent before, but she was just a concubine. And the one who entered the house this time was actually a good concubine? The concubine is equivalent to half of the master in the house, and she is a serious second room, and she can be corrected.

"Yes, the official residence of Dali Temple is the third grade, and the status of a woman in his clan is also precious, so naturally it is not comparable to Aunt Gu. is already wronged in the position of a good concubine. Ji Erlan wanted the Qin clan to see the facts clearly and not to take those illusory things too seriously, so he named the Qin clan's dregs and the truth.

"And there will be no less such things in the future. In the past, an Aunt Gu made A-Niang's situation so unbearable, and in the future, the house will not be peaceful. A-Niang's scheming methods can't even compare to Aunt Gu, let alone the daughter of a noble family? However, if they have no children, but A-Niang has an eldest brother and younger brother to rely on, it will be a different situation. ”

Qin listened to Ji Erlan's words and words, and only felt that her heart was like being struck by ten thousand hammers in turn, and the pain made her breathe unsmooth. Still, she said, "But even so, I can't forgive you for doing such a thing to your father!" This is not the same thing as him taking a concubine! ”

Ji Erlan was dumbfounded.

She wanted to say to the Qin family, do you know that if you block Ji Chenglin's way, one day, you will be injured because of his cold-heartedness. Do you know that when Cheng Lin was on the rise and stood at the head of the hundred officials, you were already white and cold, and you fell into the Yellow Spring?

Ji Erlan tried her best to save Qin's life and helped her make the most favorable decision to prevent future troubles. Even if Ji Chenglin accepts more concubines in the future, no matter how well-born a woman is, it is impossible for a mother to surpass the Qin family by virtue of her son. However, Ji Chenglin's intentions, the Qin family did not see it with his own eyes, and he heard it with his own ears, how could he believe it? "Auntie, your body ......"

Qin didn't want to listen to what she said, stared at her sadly and disappointedly, and said, "You go out!" ”
