Mother Wu smiled bitterly and explained for Wei Man: "Although Mrs. Tai didn't help her go to the old lady to say something, she had a much better impression of her, and after that, Zhu became an aunt, and when she met the old marquis, she was all in order, and Mrs. Tai believed her......"

"Mom means," Wei Man asked with some disbelief, "Aunt Zhang, didn't she want to be an aunt back then?" ”

Mother Wu shook her head and sighed: "Back then, Aunt Zhang's actions, looking at it, really didn't want to be the aunt of the old marquis. ”

Looking?

Weiman blinked.

That is to say, what Aunt Zhang's grandmother did back then was just to confuse Mrs. Tai, in the end, she still wanted to be an aunt, and, judging from the final result, she did succeed in becoming an aunt, and now, she has become what everyone calls Aunt Zhang.

"And after that?" Cheng's mother asked: "Aunt Zhang's grandmother took care of Aunt Qi's food, what happened to Aunt Qi after that?" ”

"Aunt Qi...... Mother Wu had some sadness on her face, paused for a moment, and then said, "...... Dystocia...... Neither the adults nor the children were able to save ......"

The room fell silent for a moment, and even the air seemed a little oppressive.

"Yes......" Cheng's mother asked hesitantly, "Is it Aunt Zhang's grandmother......"

Cheng's mother wanted to ask if there was a problem with the food made by Aunt Zhang's grandmother, which caused Aunt Qi's dystocia and two lives.

Wei Man sighed softly, she thought to herself, even if Aunt Qi's difficult birth was done by Aunt Zhang's grandmother, it must have been secretly approved by Mrs. Tai, otherwise, with Aunt Zhang's identity as just a maid back then, even if she had the courage to do anything to the aunt who was about to give birth in Mrs. Tai's yard.

Mother Wu naturally understood Cheng's unfinished words, and she said with a somewhat sad face: "It's a little bad to say that Aunt Qi's pregnancy is a little bad, and the child is too big......"

Giving birth to such a thing, in the present, there will be all kinds of accidents, let alone in ancient times with low medical standards? Aunt Qi was able to give birth to the child safely, everything was smooth, and she lost her life due to a difficult birth, so naturally there are countless reasons to say.

"Could it be ......" Cheng's mother asked unrelentingly, "Isn't it half related to Aunt Zhang?" ”

Mother Wu raised her eyes and glanced at Mother Cheng, a trace of bitterness overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and said: "When Aunt Qi went, Mrs. Tai was uncomfortable, she was eating something and vomiting something, and she was very emaciated...... The whole house is busy with Mrs. Tai's body, and no one cares much about Aunt Qi, who has a difficult birth......"

Mrs. Tai's belly is much more expensive than Aunt Qi's belly, besides, before Mrs. Tai was pregnant, the child in Aunt Qi's belly may be very important, but after Mrs. Tai became pregnant, the child in Aunt Qi's belly, in the eyes of some people, either became very eye-catching, or, became an inconsequential existence...... Otherwise, why did the old lady know that Mrs. Tai didn't have the energy to take care of Aunt Qi anymore, but she never took Aunt Qi to her yard to take care of it.

"That's it, is that all?" Cheng's mother frowned, and said with some resentment: "You should always check it, it was fine in the first few months, but it was ...... when I gave birth."

"I also asked a few words," Wu's mother smiled bitterly, and said: "At that time, Mrs. Tai couldn't eat anything, but one day, Aunt Zhang made a bowl of soup, but Mrs. Tai could swallow it......"

Wei Man's heart moved, thinking, since Mrs. Tai can eat the food presented by Aunt Zhang, then, in her heart, she should trust Aunt Zhang very much, but after all, Aunt Zhang was Mrs. Zhang's person at that time, and she didn't have a deep relationship with Mrs. Tai, so why did Mrs. Tai trust Aunt Zhang so much?

Unless......

The corners of Wei Man's eyes jumped, and he thought to himself, unless, Aunt Zhang has already done something in secret to confess to Mrs. Yu...... Perhaps, it was precisely because Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang became Mrs. Tai's person through other things that Mrs. Tai took advantage of Aunt Zhang's cooking skills to naturally leave Aunt Zhang in the main courtyard.

"Since only the things made by Aunt and Grandma Zhang can be eaten by Grandmother," Wei Man asked, "Is it, Aunt Zhang has stayed with Grandmother since then and has become a member of the main courtyard." ”

Mother Wu showed a slightly surprised expression on her face, nodded, and said, "The third lady guessed well, Mrs. Tai promoted Aunt Zhang to the first-class maid by her side on the same day, and also let Aunt Zhang move to live in the main courtyard." ”

is so trusting and reused, Wei Man thought in his heart, to say that Aunt Zhang didn't do anything else to go to Mrs. Chengtai, it is simply impossible.

"And then?" Weiman asked, "Now that Grandmother can eat, is she better?" ”

"Although Mrs. Tai can eat, she is still very weak and often dizzy...... "Mother Wu sighed long and said, "...... When she was less than nine months pregnant, Mrs. Tai gave birth to her uncle, and when the uncle just gave birth to her mother's womb, she couldn't cry...... Stumbling to a year old, a little wind chill, the uncle went to ......"

Unexpectedly, the uncle was not only a premature baby, but also such a frail baby......

The uncle is Mrs. Tai's first child, and he is a boy, and he has been raised to the age of one and has a mother-son relationship...... Uncle is gone, you can imagine how sad Mrs. Tai should be.

"Grandmother must be very sad." Weiman sighed.

"It's not just sadness!" Wu's mother recalled: "After the uncle went, Mrs. Tai fell seriously ill and lay in bed for two months before she could get out of bed...... After she recovered from her illness, Mrs. Tai didn't seem to be concerned about everything, and often lost her mind, even the letters sent by the old marquis from northern Xinjiang, Mrs. Tai was not in the mood to take a look......"

The letter sent back by the old marquis from the northern Xinjiang!

Perhaps, it was the old marquis who comforted the lady who lost her son in the letter......

"Did my grandfather often send letters back from northern Xinjiang?" Weiman asked.

"In the past, letters were not very frequent," Wu's mother said, "However, since my uncle went, the government has received letters from northern Xinjiang every month." ”

"Oh." Wei Man nodded lightly, thinking, in this way, the old marquis should have some feelings for Mrs. Tai, and he also lost his beloved son, but the old marquis can not forget to comfort his wife in grief.

"After the uncle went, another year passed, and the old marquis returned to Beijing from northern Xinjiang," Wu's mother continued to recall: "The old lady wanted to arrange a few more concubine rooms for the old marquis, although the old lady was reluctant, but she didn't say anything, but the old marquis never nodded, and added, at that time, although the old marquis returned to Beijing, he received the will of the first emperor, to go to the barracks often to train, and the time spent in the house was not much, so the matter of carrying the aunt was delayed...... The old marquis stayed in the capital for two months, and then set off for northern Xinjiang, who knows, not long after the old marquis left, Mrs. Tai suddenly fainted one day, please come to the doctor to check, only to know, Mrs. Tai is pregnant again. ”

"Such a coincidence," Cheng's mother thought for a moment and said. "This, Mrs. Tai's pregnancy, is the eldest aunt and grandmother."

"Yes, it's the eldest aunt and grandmother," Mother Wu nodded and said, "When Mrs. Tai was pregnant with her aunt and grandmother, although her body was also a little twists and turns, it was much better than when she was pregnant with Uncle Tai...... It's just that she was born with a young lady, and the old lady was a little disappointed, and she couldn't help but blame Mrs. Tai......"

Wei Man bowed slightly.

In ancient times, especially in a noble family like Zhenguo Houfu, heirs were so important.

Mrs. Tai finally got pregnant, naturally it was expected by everyone, but she didn't expect to give birth to a young lady in October, I am afraid that not only the old lady will be disappointed, but Mrs. Tai will also feel very uncomfortable.

However, judging from Mrs. Tai's treatment of Wen Wei and several grandchildren now, Mrs. Tai loves Wen Wei's hard-won daughter very much.

"So," Cheng's mother asked, "Is it because Mrs. Tai gave birth to an aunt and grandmother, so the old lady once again carried her aunt for the old marquis?" ”

"Yes...... Mother Wu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's not ...... either"

"What does Mother Wu mean by this?" Cheng's mother looked at Wu's mother in confusion and said, "Could it be that there are other things that have happened in it?" ”

Wei Man also looked at Mother Wu curiously.

Mother Wu pursed her lips and said with some difficulty: "Old slave, old slave just remembered an old thing......

Wei Man raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what Mother Wu remembers?" ”

Mother Wu glanced at Mother Cheng, then at Wei Man, hesitated for a while, and then said, "There is something I accidentally heard back then...... It was not long after Mrs. Tai gave birth to her aunt and grandmother, because Mrs. Tai's body was losing too much at that time, she invited the doctor to recuperate...... I went to deliver tea, and outside the curtain, I heard from the doctor that Mrs. Tai's body was afraid that it would be difficult to get pregnant again......"

It's hard to get pregnant again!

Wei Man looked at Mother Wu in surprise.

"No, you couldn't have heard it wrong, did you?" Cheng's mother said in a lost voice: "Master Hou is only two years older than my aunt......

Judging from the age of Wen Wei and Wei Bai, after Mrs. Tai gave birth to Wen Wei, it was only a little more than a year before she became pregnant again and gave birth to Wei Bai, so how could Mrs. Tai's body be difficult to get pregnant again?

Could it be ......

Wei Man's heart was shocked.

Could it be that Wei Bai was not born to Mrs. Tai......

Suddenly, Wei Man thought of what Aunt Zhang had said, saying that she was very similar to Aunt Luo when she was young......

Could it be that Aunt Zhang knew that Wei Bai was not Mrs. Tai's biological child, and used her appearance to imply that Wei Bai's biological mother was Aunt Luo in the Good Heart Hall?
