Back at the Shengchang Marquis' Mansion, it was already dusk, and the golden oblique light was sprinkled like brocade on the bluestone path in front of the Yuanyang Pavilion. When Dong Ying and Rose returned, Mrs. Sheng asked her if she had had dinner.

Dong Yu smiled: "Not yet, not very hungry, no appetite." ”

Mrs. Sheng said with a smile: "It's hot, and I don't have much appetite, so I asked the kitchen to make lotus rice porridge, and you can eat some here and go back." ”

Dong Yu hurriedly thanked him, and had dinner in Mrs. Sheng's courtyard before returning to Jingshi Courtyard.

After taking a bath and changing into a clean and light middle coat, Dong Ying leaned on the big kang by the window to read the book "Liutao" left by Sheng Xiuyi.

Luo's mother came in, Dongyu put down the book, and asked the maids to go down, leaving only Luo's mother, and said with a smile: "You accompany me tonight." ”

Mother Luo touched her scattered green silk and looked at her with pity like when she was a child: "Okay, mom sleeps with Sister Yu." ”

The maids stopped coming, and Luo's mother called her Sister Yao'er, just like when she was at her mother's house.

Luo's mother asked Dongyu again if the fifth aunt and grandmother returned to the door today, which was interesting.

Dong Yu told Xiao Xuanqin about it.

Mother Luo's expression was slightly gloomy: "Fifth Miss was really stunned at the beginning. Looking for death to marry such a person. Sister Yu, do you think it's retribution? People are doing it, the sky is watching, if you do something against your will, God will keep the account. ”

Dong Yu smiled.

Mother Luo sighed for Xue Dongrong, remembered something, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Fifth Miss is out of the pavilion...... I don't know if the third young master has come back and ......"

The third young master refers to Dong Yuan's third cousin Xue Huaxuan.

Why did Luo's mother ask him well?

"It's back. Rose's eldest brother is with the third brother. I heard that I also returned to Shengjing this time. Rose took a half-day off tomorrow. Dong Yu smiled, "Mom, how do you ask the third brother?" ”

Mother Luo smiled reluctantly: "Fifth Miss is the sister of the third young master." Just remember to ask ......."

Dongyu remembered that today's grandmother said that Mother Luo originally served the eldest grandmother to give birth, and then she was also optimistic about her and wanted her to be the nurse of her eldest granddaughter Xue Huarui.

And Luo's mother refused.

"Mom, why didn't you want to be a nurse for Sister Rui in the first place?" Dong Ying asked directly.

Luo's mother was shocked, and took Dong Yu's hand in shock: "Who told you about this?" ”

There were some ripples in Dongyu's eyes, and she said, "It's grandmother...... Mom. I may have a body......"

Before she finished speaking, Mother Luo's shocked mood suddenly changed, from shock to joy: "Sister Yu, you have a body?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Dongyu.

Dong Zhen bowed his head and told Mother Luo about the diagnosis of the imperial doctor invited by Xue Fu.

Mother Luo clasped her hands together and chanted Amitabha Buddha again and again: "Ancestors bless, Bodhisattva blesses." Then he asked, "Did you tell Madame?" ”

Dongyu shook her head.

The joy on Luo's mother's face lightened a little: "...... Sister Yu'er. You've been whispering to Rose these days. Mom didn't ask. Why don't you tell your wife that you have a body? Isn't this a big event? ”

If you tell Mother Luo about the strange thinness of the Sheng family's heirs, it is just one more person to worry about her. Although Luo's mother lives in the Sheng family, she may not have noticed why the Sheng family has few heirs.

And Luo's mother is kind and soft. couldn't help much, Dongyu decided not to say anything, so he said, "I was diagnosed only three days ago...... I want another month. When the fetal position is stable, tell the lady. lest I have said it earlier, and my wife will think that I am begging for a reward. ”

Mother Luo frowned.

She probably felt that Dongyu was too cautious, but // the fastest text update in the book fan building had no pop-ups and no ads // and did not refute her again.

“…… My grandmother wanted me to tell my wife to have a mother who knew how to give birth to me. I said that you understand very well, and my grandmother and Zhan's mother just talked about letting you serve your sister-in-law back then. Dong Ying changed the subject again, "Mom." Why do you ......?"

"Sister Yu!" Mother Luo squeezed Dong Jin's hand heavily and interrupted her words. "There are some things that my mother doesn't want to say...... You also know that there are always some bad things about our family living in the same house for several generations and living in a huge courtyard. If you see it in your eyes, you will rot in your heart...... Don't ask that again. ”

What did Luo's mother see in her sister-in-law's room?

Dongyu's heart skipped a beat.

Mother Luo first asked the third young master Xue Huaxuan, and then Dong Yu talked about her sister-in-law Hang's family, and her expression was instantly shocked.

It's really not a good thing, Dong Yu vaguely guessed, and didn't want to know anymore. She smiled: "I won't ask in the future." ”

******

The scorching hot summer is like a flowing fire, and it can't stand the autumn wind, and in a blink of an eye, it will be the end of August when the autumn crab is fat and the osmanthus is yellow.

Sheng Xiuyi walked for more than 50 days before arriving at the northwest camp.

And when Dongyu went to greet Mrs. Sheng in the morning, she vomited, and Mrs. Sheng and Kang's mother saw the flaw and knew that she was pregnant.

Dong Ying no longer hid it, and told Mrs. Sheng about her pregnancy, but she was uneasy in her heart.

She wondered what Sheng Changhou's attitude was.

Later, one day when I met Sheng Changhou.

He didn't have the cold face that Dong Yu imagined, and said to her gently: "If you feel unwell, just come and ask for peace every three days." Giving birth to a grandchild is a great filial piety to us. ”

There was no contrived in his tone and expression, as if he was happy.

Dong Yu has a body when she enters the door, which is not only her blessing, but also a sign of the prosperity of the entire Sheng family. Sheng Changhou's joy does not seem to be fake.

So the reason for the thin heirs of the Sheng family......

It can't really be natural, right?

With this thought, Dong Ying felt unreliable. There are so many people in the Sheng family, why are they so unlucky, except for Sheng Xiuyi's children, only the second grandmother Ge has a seven-year-old daughter.

How can other people be born infertile?

Thinking about it, Dongyu made up his mind to investigate the matter. At first, she thought it was Sheng Changhou, but now she ...... She was a little unsure of her judgment.

Aunt Lin of the Marquis of Sheng Chang made a fuss and sent her to the Grange, and died of illness within two months. When Mrs. Sheng told Dong Jin, there was a bit of amazement in her tone: "The two of them." One year younger than your second siblings, good-looking, and always childless. The heart is not steady. Hou Ye is getting old day by day, and they are always afraid that Brother Yi will snub them in the future, and they have recently started to look for trouble. Sending Aunt Lin away also wanted the second aunt to be able to settle down...... Who knows, Hou Ye is still afraid that they will be restless...... The eldest aunt is not as smart as the second aunt, but she has a good heart......"

Mrs. Sheng's meaning, although very vague. Dong Ying could hear that Sheng Changhou had killed Aunt Lin, just to deter Second Aunt Lin. Either there are no heirs living in the Sheng family; If you have the crooked idea of having an heir, you will die.

Dongyu didn't say anything, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of person her father-in-law was.

In the days since she got married, it can be seen that although Mrs. Sheng is soft, Sheng Changhou respects her, and has the blind date of ordinary young couples and old companions.

This point made Dongyu have some changes in his opinion of Shengchanghou. He is not a person who spoils concubines, and he is not bad to Mrs. Sheng.

Maybe your first impression was not good. completely denied the Marquis of Shengchang. Feel that he has no merit.

The two Aunt Lin in the Shengchang Marquis's room had no heirs, and Dong Yu was already able to determine from the Shengchang Marquis' killing of Aunt Lin that he did it.

But the second master Sheng Xiuhai and the brothers of the two uncles have no heirs, are they really directly related to Sheng Changhou?

Thinking. Dong Yu took out three hundred taels of silver and asked Rose to secretly exchange the silver.

She wanted to use the money to buy off the Sheng family and figure out the reason why there were no heirs in each house.

There can be no further delay.

*************

In August, the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace gave food to the family of the emperor's relatives. When Mrs. Sheng entered the palace to thank her. When Dongyu entered the door, she was pregnant and told Sheng Guifei Niangniang.

Sheng Guifei told Emperor Yuanchang about this.

Coming out of Concubine Sheng's palace, Emperor Yuanchang returned to the imperial study and smashed a piece of crystal paperweight on the bookcase on the ground.

Lou Youde, the chief eunuch, and a group of eunuchs of all sizes who served in the imperial study saw that the emperor was angry, and they all knelt down and trembled, for fear of touching the moldy head.

"How dare he. How dare he! Lou Youde heard that the inkstone on the bookcase was smashed to the ground again, and Emperor Yuanchang's voice was as angry as thunder. Repeatedly hatefully said, "He actually dares".

The eunuchs all slammed their heads on the ground and did not dare to say anything.

Who would dare?

“…… I did it so obviously, he actually pretended to be stupid, he dared to ......" Emperor Yuanchang angrily ravaged the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books, and folds on the bookcase.

When he quieted down, the imperial study was full of messes.

Lou Youde and more than a dozen little eunuchs were still kneeling, and no one dared to say that he begged the emperor to calm his anger.

Emperor Yuanchang sat on the chair, pinching the armrest of the chair with his hand, and Tie Qing's face couldn't turn around for a long time.

Lou Youde didn't know how the little eunuch next to him felt, his legs were numb on his knees. The chiming bell on the wall rang, and Lou Youde knew that Emperor Yuanchang had been silent for half an hour.

He had to pluck up the courage to ask in a low voice, "Your Majesty......"

"Lou Youde, what day did Princess Wenjing's concubine have a birthday?" Emperor Yuanchang asked questions, and there was a bit of urgency in his voice.

Lou Youde hurriedly said: "April 28 this year, Your Majesty. ”

"April 20...... April 28...... "Emperor Yuanchang stood up suddenly, with an unconcealable smile in his voice, paced repeatedly, and said suddenly," ...... Well stabbed. ”

Lou Youde was confused, but when he heard Emperor Yuan Chang say "good stab", he remembered that Emperor Yuan Chang came back from the mansion of the eldest princess of Wenjing, and his arm was stabbed with blood.

April 28 is the birthday of the eldest princess of Wenjing.

So what day is April 20th?

He tried to think about it, but he still couldn't remember what the day of April 20 was.

"It's only been eight days, who can tell?" Lou Youde heard Emperor Yuanchang's smiling voice, so he looked up, only to see a strange look on the young emperor's face.

It's like you've got a rare treasure.

When he came back, he was furious, and he was suddenly happy. can make Emperor Yuanchang's mood change so abnormal, except for Xiao Taifu, Lou Youde can't think of anything else.

But Emperor Yuanchang just said "He actually dared", and then said "April 20", what is going on?

"Get up." Emperor Yuanchang said in a deep voice, "Clean up this place." Today's events, if the Queen Mother hears the slightest rumor, you will all be condemned to death. ”
