Chapter 149: The love between wives and concubines is deep

"Is the baby in her belly okay?"

There has always been a rule among doctors, and when they encounter a pregnant woman whose child is not in a good condition, they are generally reluctant to say it directly, for fear that the pregnant woman will be overly worried and the situation will be worse, and they are also afraid that the family will be worried.

But at this time, he wanted to be angry with these two old things, and Zhang Luo'er was unconscious and was not afraid that she would hear it, so he said with a cold face: "This lady has been unable to eat and dress well, and she has been sick for so long, and the fetus in her womb can still be born with some medicine, but she is afraid that it will not be born properly." ”

The Li family's parents are so old, of course they know the implication of the doctor's words, that is, what kind of disabilities the child will have when he is born, and even his head is not good.

His family's Ling'er studied hard for so many years before he had the opportunity to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, but as a result, the eldest son or eldest daughter was disabled, what is this called?

Spread it out and don't give people a joke to death?

The old couple looked at each other thoughtfully, then waved their hands and told the doctor to leave.

The doctor stretched out his hand and said, "Consultation money, three coins of silver." ”

Father Li's eyes widened: "What money do you want for you to be cured?" I didn't take your medicine, aren't you slandering! ”

The doctor was also so angry that he pointed at them and scolded: "You two are disrespectful, I came over to treat people on a cold day, and you didn't give me medical fees...... Forget it, you still humiliate pregnant women like this, be careful to go to hell in the future! ”

Guo Caiping heard the noise in the side room in the house, and was distraught, so she asked the maid to take the money and send him away.

The maid received the order, called the doctor out, sent him to the door, gave him the consultation money, the doctor took the silver, and his face was better, but he was still dissatisfied, and complained: "I have been a doctor for decades, and it is the first time I have suffered this kind of crime!" Who the hell are those two old people? ”

"The second elder is Li Tanhua's father, and the woman you treated is the concubine in the family." The maid sighed and said helplessly, "As a slave, it's not good for me to say bad things about my master's family, but I really don't vomit or feel unhappy. The two elders were reluctant to buy a maid and mother-in-law, and called the concubine every day to torture her like this, if it weren't for the kindness of my wife, who often took care of her, and went out to invite you to see her, the concubine would have died a long time ago. ”

Li Tanhua's affairs were known throughout the capital, and the doctor also matched the person, and couldn't help sighing: "Lord Shangshu's tutor is really good, your wife is a kind-hearted person, and she is so good to the concubine, but the old couple is vicious, and it is just bad for the concubine, and they actually don't care about the fetus in her womb, that is their grandson!" ”

The maid also shook her head and lamented: "Who said it wasn't, but no matter how kind-hearted my wife is, she is also a junior, and she can't take care of her in-laws." The doctor doesn't have to worry about such a trivial matter, he worked hard today. ”

The doctor took the consultation fee and left.

In the partial room, the old couple is thinking about how to deal with Cai Xin'er.

"Hmph, this child is also a burden when he is born, so it's better to beat it now." Father Li glared at Cai Xin'er on the bed, and said in a vicious tone.

"What is Fei Na doing?" Mother Li glared at him, "She is burning like this now, if she doesn't give her medicine, she will definitely not get better, and she will die with the fetus in her womb in a few days, isn't it, don't spend that money to buy any fetal pills, you are easy for us to make it easier for us to take some money?" ”

Father Li thought about it, and instead of spending this matter to kill the child, Cai Xin'er and the fetus in her womb died of illness together.

Anyway, her existence is also a stain, reminding others all day that Li Ling is a person who abandons the chaff. If she dies, in a few days, no one will remember it

, his son is still an upright Tanhualang, and he can be promoted to a big official!

After two days like this, the Li family's parents ignored Cai Xin'er, did not give her medicine or food and drink. Guo Caiping still felt pitiful for her, and privately asked the maid to bring her a few steamed buns. But she also had her own things to do at this time, and she didn't pay much attention to Cai Xin'er. And Li Ling has been busy with business these days, and he can't take care of the backyard, so he doesn't know what his parents are doing. Besides, even if he knew, he wouldn't necessarily care.

Unexpectedly, Cai Xin'er's life was too big, even if she didn't take medicine, she survived alive, and she was able to work again in a few days.

The old couple woke up early that morning and wanted to see if Cai Xin'er was dead, but as soon as they went out, they saw Cai Xin'er washing clothes in the yard.

The old couple looked at Cai Xin'er's obviously sick appearance, as well as her growing belly, and they really didn't feel good in their hearts.

So the old couple summed up again.

"Why is she getting better without taking medicine?" Mother Li gritted her teeth in anger.

"The cheaper the things, the easier it is to live, and the ones that you want to raise are famous flowers and plants, and of course she can live with a little mud with a dog's tail grass!" Father Li also scolded.

"Hmph, if it goes on like this, it really makes her give birth to that burden and drag us down!" A glimmer of light flashed in Mother Li's eyes, and she said, "Our Li family has raised her for so many years, and we can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to her, and now if we take his life, it is also deserved." If it weren't for our Li family, she would have starved to death a few years ago! ”

Father Li also thought so, and a more vicious strategy was revealed under the discussion of the old couple.

But Cai Xin'er, who was simple and honest, didn't find out, and still served the old couple and Li Ling with all her heart.

One day, Cai Xin'er thought that Li Ling had been in a bad mood in the past few months, and he seemed to be several years old, so she took out the private money she had saved by selling embroidery, bought an old hen and some ingredients that made up for it, and stewed a pot of good soup for Li Ling and Li's parents.

For a woman like her, serving her good in-laws and husband is the greatest happiness in her life.

She stewed soup in the kitchen with love, at this moment, Father Li carried a stool and smashed Cai Xin'er's back neck, after Cai Xin'er's body fell softly, the old couple pulled out a few pieces of burning wood from under the boiler, set fire to the kitchen, and went out again, locking the kitchen door.

Cai Xin'er was quickly woken up by the smoke of the fire, she got up and knocked the kitchen door, but the old couple outside ignored her.

Through the crack in the door, she saw the old couple she had worked hard to serve was standing outside the door, with a smile on their faces that they had succeeded in their plan......

Later, the government found that Cai Xin'er had two lives, and the old couple excused themselves and said that Cai Xin'er accidentally burned the kitchen when she was cooking, and the matter was fooled.

……

The population of the eight groups is too good, they finished the story in a gossiping manner, and the scene seemed to be really happening in front of them, calling An Ge and Liu Pingle The two little girls were simply cold, the experience of the two of them, how did they know that there were such vicious people as the Li family's parents in the world?

Because he was too shocked, An Ge didn't dare to write, and he was also suspicious of some of the details inside, for fear that the eight groups of people made it up, and if there was no actual witness evidence to pass it out, it would be a big deal for the "Beijing Daily" to lose credibility at that time.

After thinking for a while, An Ge sent someone to find the person who spread the news.

Soon, the eight groups of people brought a large group of people over, they were basically neighbors of the Li family, as well as the doctor who had treated Cai Xin'er that day.

An Ge didn't plan to expose his connection with the "Beijing Daily" for the time being, so he drew a curtain in the private room, and she and Liu Pingle sat behind the curtain, and the group of people talked back outside the curtain.

First, the doctor repeated the scene when Cai Xin'er was sick, which was the same as what the people in the eighth group said, and he didn't know anything else, so he finished answering and received the reward and left first.

Later, the neighbor of the Li Mansion said what he saw and heard in a few words:

"We all heard Cai Xin'er's shouting that day, and we went to the door to persuade us, but the old couple of the Li family didn't open the door for us, and scolded us to get out."

"I once entered the Li Mansion once, and I knew that the location of their kitchen was relatively remote, and the fog in the capital was heavy that day, and the smoke coming out was covered by the fog, so we didn't expect the Li family's kitchen to catch fire that day, otherwise why would we call someone to put out the fire!"

"One day, I got a cart of Chinese cabbage, thinking that if I couldn't finish it, I would distribute it to the neighbors, and when I sent it to Li's house, I saw Cai Xin'er washing clothes in the yard, and her hands were frozen in every good place! The old couple is really not a thing, although Cai Xin'er is not delicate, but she is pregnant in the end, how can she be called to wash her clothes with cold water in the cold winter! ”

"You still dare to send things to the Li Mansion, my house and his house are next to a courtyard wall, I can hear their family scolding and scolding every day, from time to time there are crying and beatings, everything is messy, I will send my child to live at his aunt's house, so as not to be heard by the child and learn badly!"

"Hey, in fact, in the past, everyone who listened to the Li family scolding and scolding was scolded by the old couple, Mrs. Li, that is, the daughter of the Guo family, has a good temperament and doesn't scold Cai Xin'er much. I also heard that last time Cai Xin'er was sick, it was Mrs. Li who sent someone to invite her doctor. ”

“…… Speaking of which, I seem to have seen one day that Mrs. Li had a private meeting with a widower! ”

When An Ge and Liu Pingle heard this, they really hammered Cai Xin'er to be killed by the Li family's parents, and they were both so angry in their hearts, so they didn't care much about what the person said in the end, and now they want justice the most!

An Ge asked through the curtain: "Since your neighbors all know that Cai Xin'er was killed by the Li family's parents, why did the government finally decide that she was accidentally burned to death?" ”

One person replied: "Then there is no official government to ask us, besides, this is a matter of people's backyards, and there is a concubine in the backyard, is that abnormal?" ”

"How is it normal? Da Li is not like the previous dynasty, he can kill the concubines at will! You're just aiding and abetting the abuse! Liu Pingle couldn't help but scold.

An Ge took her hand, signaled her not to get excited, and calmly said to those people outside: "If you are willing to go to the government to testify that it was the Li family's parents who killed someone, we will definitely give you a generous gift." ”

They must have believed in the generous gifts, but today they were just called to come and talk, and one of them gave one or two pieces of silver, and they all knew that the two women behind the curtain must be from rich and noble families.

But go to the government to testify...... Those people were silent for a long time, and suddenly got up together and said, "There is still something in the villain's house, so retire first." ”

The others were also leaving, Ning Jiu saw this, and hurriedly called someone to stop them, those people showed bitter faces, so they had to beg for mercy to the people in the curtain: "The girls are right, Dali's current law does have such provisions, but this is Lord Li's housework, we are all ordinary people, how dare we go to the government and confront the officials in person!" If there is another official to protect each other, saying that we ordinary people are talking nonsense, and treating us for the crime of slandering officials, we will have to beat the board again, and I beg the girl to go around us......"
