Thirty-nine: stillbirth
The person in his arms closed his eyes tightly, his blood-soaked hand rested on Su Yunyao's arm, and his face was lifelike, as if he was asleep.
But everyone knew that she would never wake up again.
Su Yunyao cried loudly, hugged Li Xi tightly, her mouth was half open and half closed, and her crying tone changed, but she couldn't say a word.
Lisheng knelt on the side, bowed deeply, crying couldn't breathe, she should have comforted the girls at this time, but she couldn't, her hands and feet were soft, and her tears were like beads with broken threads, smashing on Lixi's body.
The place where the three thin cloaks fell was not far from the place where the accident happened, so it can be seen that she would rather drop the lanterns than worry about the girls' clothes, if it were not for her life, how could she leave those clothes behind?
The thin cloak that killed her was now tightly wrapped around her body, Su Yunyao gradually calmed down from crying, hugged Lixi's body without saying a word, afraid that she would be cold, and carefully covered her clothes.
It's a pity that her temperature is still gradually getting colder, and the three girls are being pulled up at this time.
Xiao Ling and Xiao Qi knew that something was going on in the backyard, and when they saw that Qin Manhuai couldn't sit still, they became curious, and after a while, Su Yao came over, his face was embarrassed, as if he was ashamed of something.
"Master Su, but what happened?" Xiao Qi asked.
Su Yao wasn't going to say it before, but this kind of bad thing happened in his own house, and he had to report to the official to catch the bad guy, and it wouldn't hurt anything if he said it now.
"Today, the front yard is busy, most of the maids are in the front yard, but out of nowhere, two men in black sprung out, stabbed two maids, and harmed..."
"What!" Xiao Ling and Xiao Qi couldn't believe it, and they couldn't figure out why such a thing happened in the official's family.
If everyone doesn't think so, then how can the villain assume that no one will show up in the backyard? How dare they come in and hurt anyone?
Liu He was already in poor health, and he saw that the child would be born in more than a month, but now he was born with half a life.
Because she was also stabbed in the shoulder, the knife edge was very deep, and she couldn't stop bleeding out, Wen Po didn't dare to let Liu He put all her strength on the birth, for fear that she would use her strength to hurt herself, and then the wound would collapse even if the Da Luo Immortal came, it would be useless. But if the child is not born again, Liu He's life is also in danger.
After careful consideration, I had to ask the doctor to heal the wound on the back of Liu He's shoulder first, and then pour a bowl of oxytocic medicine to give birth to the child.
The child had already swallowed his breath, it was an adult boy, his face was wrinkled, and there were bruises of varying degrees on his body, which showed that he was still a healthy child before tonight.
The moment the child was born, Liu He didn't mention it in one breath, and fainted, Qin Manhuai and Su Yao didn't dare to come out in front of the door of Tianning Xuan, and when they saw Wen Po coming out with a stillborn baby, Qin Manhuai's voice whimpered, and he only said, "You must keep the fourth lady safe!" ”
Xiao Ling Xiao Qi was sent back to Changjun Wangfu by the Su family, and the housekeeper of the Su family also reported to the official on the way, but the streets of the Mid-Autumn Festival were full of people, and trying to catch the gangsters was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Su Yunyao watched as Li Xi was carried out with a white sheet, she just stood up, but her legs suddenly softened, and she fell weakly in Zhao's mother's arms, her eyes were blank, as if she had lost her soul. Su Qianyao's eyes were swollen from crying, and Su Moyao struggled to pull Li Xi's hand, and the little girl who carried the corpse didn't dare to offend the girls, so she had to persuade her, "Girls, please mourn!" ”
It was a good Mid-Autumn Festival, but it was harmed by two gangsters, sleepless all night, the next day before dawn, Lisheng came in to report that there was movement over there in Ningxuan, the fourth lady woke up for a while, knowing that the child was a stillborn and fainted, the doctor hurriedly went in again, and there was no news at this time.
When Li Xi was still there, she liked to play with those flowers and plants the most, but now that she is gone, Su Yunyao has to pay attention to the flowers and plants she raises on weekdays.
The tears couldn't flow anymore, and she didn't remember how long she had been sitting here, she only felt as if a big stone had been pressed on her chest, and she couldn't breathe and couldn't cry, and she could only sit there with her whole body weak.
"How are the fifth and tenth sisters?" Su Yunyao asked in a hoarse voice.
Lisheng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, choked up and replied, "Fang Cai slave asked about the spring bamboo shoots, she said that the ten girls woke up crying, woke up dizzy, and were frightened, and then they slept a little deeper, and the five girls have been asleep, but they are not stable at all, and they have said a lot of dream words, and the vines dare not wake up the five girls." ”
Su Yunyao nodded stiffly, reached out and picked up the small kettle that used to water the flowers, poured some water on the bottom of the pot, and asked, "How is my mother?" ”
"The eldest lady has just come for a while, and the slave is afraid that she will be worried, so she lies that the girls are asleep, and the eldest lady is also very sad, her eyes are red and swollen, and it is not clear whether she is asleep or not."
Su Yunyao nodded again, and the room was quiet for a while, and she asked again, "Do you remember what Li Xi said before she died?" ”
Lisheng thought about it for a moment and replied, "She said that the villain was going for the child of the fourth lady..."
Su Yunyao sneered and put the kettle aside, "Kill my brother, I can't find anyone more beneficial in this family." ”
Lisheng was shocked, and her hands trembled, "What does the girl mean... The one who lives in Yingxiaju? Then she shook her head, not daring to let her thoughts be affirmed, "Probably not, although the second lady is good at scheming, how dare she attack the sovereign's child... That's a lot of lives! Besides, how is she sturdy with those murderous villains who don't blink? ”
There was another silence, Su Yunyao looked up at the lattice window that had been brightened, and her heart was sad.
"What would she not dare? Now that her eldest son is no longer treated by his father, and her two daughters are preparing to discuss marriage, and the eighth brother has not yet appeared on the list, how can she allow the fourth lady to have another boy? In this family, the mother will never do this kind of thing to take people's lives, the third lady has always been open to the fire, and the fourth lady has no grievances, and has never had the mind to compete for favor, the second room is not necessary to harm the children of our big house, think about it, only she Cao's! ”
Another tear was drawn and dripped on the ground, Su Yunyao reached out and straightened her dress, there was still blood on it, it had dried up but there was still a slight smell of blood.
She was carried back to Qinzhuxuan, almost without a little strength, even walking hard, she didn't want to do such a thing as changing clothes, the whole night passed, in addition to missing Lixi, it was to ponder the ins and outs of this matter.
It won't be wrong, the Cao family has always been pitiful and loved by Su Yao, but now there is Su Yingxiao who enlarged other people's stomachs before, and then there is the case of being framed and poisoning his daughter-in-law, Su Yao's mind has been out of Cao Qianlian's control.
She has to do something, and the first thing she has to do is not to let Liu He give birth to a boy, and then share Su Yao's love.
"But the second lady has been grounded for a while, and she has no chance to go out."
"What about grounding? Didn't she go to Su Ning Yuan to ask her mother a while ago? As long as she has the heart, this kind of thing can't be difficult for her at all, as long as she writes a note and buys the concierge to send the note out, even if she stays at home, she can murder things well. ”
"That's... Can the girl tell the lord? Lisheng was not confident after asking. Su Yao's love for Cao Qianlian is not a day or two, but a deep-rooted existence, even if he makes a mistake, he will turn a blind eye, even if Su Yunyao says it, there is no evidence in his hand at all, how can he convince Su Yao?
"What if you don't say it?" Su Yunyao smiled bitterly, "My father, who believes in the Cao family who reverses black and white, the most, how can he believe me?" Instead of knowing that he doesn't believe it but still opening his mouth, it's better to plan carefully, no matter how long it takes, we must find out about this matter, and give it justice, so that the Cao family can be ruthless! ”
"That's what the girl said!" Lisheng cheered up and touched the tears on his face with the corner of his sleeve, "As long as the girl is confirmed, the slave will definitely follow the girl, find out this matter clearly, and avenge Lixi!" ”
In the morning, Su's house was not as lively as usual, but every courtyard was closed. Tilting Ning Xuan is the only lively place, the doctor is going back and forth, Su Yunyao made a brief inquiry, her mother didn't sleep all night, and when she saw that she finally couldn't hold on when she got up at dawn, she squinted for a while, and the people in Su Ning Yuan naturally didn't make a noise. Liuyunzhai was also frightened, and he didn't dare to go out when the sky was bright, not because he was afraid that the villain hadn't left, but he knew that it was a time when everyone in the house was sad, so why did he go out and show his eyes? On the contrary, it will make Su Yao unhappy.
The second room is also sensible, closing the door tightly and keeping silent, as if he didn't know what happened last night.
Chang Xizhai not to mention, the old lady was sick, she began to have a headache and brain fever at night, she woke up and fell asleep, and I heard that she vomited for a while at night.
Su Yao settled in Yu Hongyuan, went to Chang Xizhai to visit the old lady when he got up in the morning, and went to Tianningxuan to ask about Liu He's situation, maybe it was not good, breakfast was useless, and he stuffed himself in Yu Hongyuan.
Compared with these places, Su Yunyao is most concerned about Yingxiaju.
"Girl." Lisheng came in from outside, and said simply, "Yingxiaju just came out of a maid, it seems to be from the second lady's side, and when she arrived at the second gate, she said a few words to a small servant, and then came back in a hurry, and the slave didn't dare to catch up and see." ”
"Got it." Su Yunyao sat in front of the dresser and put on the earring in her right ear. She had finished freshening up, changed out of the dress stained with the blood, and wore a white magnolia ripple cloud skirt, the snow-white material was embroidered with star-lit magnolia flowers, which were not obvious but could be seen clearly if you looked closely.
