Pei Shufen was thinking nonsense on the side, and Tongxue, who had been kneeling on the ground, and Tongxue, whose face was getting whiter and whiter, suddenly made a grunt and fell to the ground.

Pei Shufan and Chu Huajin were both startled, and hurriedly said, "Quickly help Tongxue up and go to the outer courtyard to invite a doctor over." ”

Because Pei Shufan was sick in bed, the Chu family specially invited several doctors to be guests in the outer courtyard to facilitate the visit at any time.

The mother-in-law in Pei Shufan's house hurriedly went out and asked the little maid to go to the outer courtyard and invite the doctor over.

The doctor often went to Pei Shufan's house to check her pulse, and knew that Tongye and Tongxue were both Hou Ye's roommates. He closed his eyes, carefully checked the pulse, and then got up to say hello to the Hou Ye and his wife; "Congratulations to Lord Hou and Mrs., this Tongxue girl, you are happy!"

Chu Huajin was still stunned, and Pei Shufan was already laughing with a spring breeze on his face: "Tongxue's birth, it's really timely!" - Dare to ask the doctor, how many months? ”

The doctor sighed, glanced at Tong Xue, who was lying on the couch beside him, with his eyes closed, and said regretfully: "It's been almost four months." Why do you say it now? You have to take care of it. ”

Pei Shufan swept Tong Xue's waist. Xu wears a lot in winter, and his belly for more than four months is not pregnant at all.

After sending off the doctor, the three girls of the Pei family also said goodbye and went to Mrs. Tai's yard to find their mother-in-law, Mrs. Xia.

Pei Shufan saw that there were no outsiders in the house, so he said to Chu Hua: "Master Hou, since Tongxue is pregnant, let's raise her as an aunt." I'm sick here, and I don't have the energy to make her drink. Hengzhi has a body of her own, and she can't eat or drink. It's better to wait for the birth and hold it with the full moon banquet. ”

Mother Zhao and Tong Ye in the house gave Tong Xue a happy message together.

Tong Xue had just woken up, and she was still ignorant. Hearing Zhao's mother and Tongye say hello to her, she couldn't help but say softly: "Mom, don't make fun of the slave." ”

Pei Shufan, who was leaning on the bed, listened, pursed his lips and smiled: "It's not a joke." Hou Ye also agreed just now. As he spoke, he pushed Chu Huajin.

Chu Huajin had no choice but to say "um".

Tong Xue blushed her cheeks, and hurriedly got down from the couch and kowtowed to Pei Shufan and Chu Huajin.

"Hurry up and help Tong Xue up. You're pregnant, don't kowtow when you see anyone in the future. ——You can give the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion a branch and leaves, it is your blessing, you should cherish it. Pei Shufan instructed earnestly.

Tong Xue is Pei Shufan's dowry maid, who grew up with Pei Shufan since she was a child, and is also in awe of Pei Shufan. I only hated myself for being anxious, thinking that my wife would not live long, so I secretly talked to a few aunts. Fortunately, Mrs. has a large number of them, and she also has a backstroke, otherwise today's matter, I am afraid that I will be sold immediately.

Tong Xue thought about it for a while, and felt that she was really blinded by lard today, so she swore to Pei Shufan: "The slave maid made a mistake today, and the lady not only did not punish her, but also promoted the slave maid to be an aunt." This kindness, the slave maid kept it in mind, and she will behave in the future and no longer cause trouble to her wife. ”

Pei Shufan smiled: "You have to say this to Master Hou, tell me, isn't it too much?" Seeing that Tongxue was still talking, Pei Shufan was a little tired, looked at Zhao's mother and said, "Hurry up and help Tongxue go back to the house." For other things, Mother Zhao is in charge. ”

Zhao's mother was busy, and together with Tong Ye, she helped the weak Tong Xue back to her house.

Because Pei Shufan is sick, Zhao's mother can be half of the master. According to the example of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, if the aunt is promoted to the house, there can be two big maids. Zhao's mother assigned two little girls, Hongju and Hongyu, to be personal maids for Tongxue, and asked them to help Tongxue pack up her things so that she could move to her aunt's yard.

Chu Huajin has many concubines, and he has nothing to do with Tongxue. Seeing that everyone in the house was gone, only himself and Pei Shufan, and thinking that he had wrongly blamed Pei Shufan today, and gave her no face in front of his mother-in-law for no reason, he was very guilty, took her hand, and muttered speechless.

Pei Shufan knew that Chu Huajin was not bad-hearted, and he was also responsible for women, and he was not greedy for flowers. There are so many women, except for Aunt Qi, none of them are what he took the initiative to ask for.

"Master Hou, I know everything. I don't blame Master Hou. It's just that I don't have a few days to live, I just hope that Master Hou can think more about my two unblessed children. If I'm gone, they're hungry, sleepy, tired, and wronged, and they don't have their own mothers by their side to comfort them and help them. I can only hope that Hou Ye, who is a father, can treat them well. I hope that Hou Ye will be more patient with them for the sake of them without their mother. When someone says they are bad, think more, think more, and give them more chances. I only have these two children that I can't let go. I hope that the Hou Ye must remember, don't be at that time, if you have a stepmother, you will have a queen. - I am under Jiuquan, and I will also be grateful to Hou Ye! ”

Pei Shufan's words made Chu Huajin's tears come out.

He hurriedly turned around and hugged Pei Shufan, hid his head on the back of her neck, didn't let her see the tears in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "You have to know that a motherless child is so pitiful, you should take good care of your body." When you are cured, isn't it better for you to watch them and raise them yourself than to entrust them to me? ”

Pei Shufan also felt a little moved in his heart. has been married to this man for more than ten years, although there is no love between men and women, but the righteousness of husband and wife is still there. Moreover, Pei Shufan has always scoffed at the relationship between men and women, thinking that it was made up by men to coax women to make cattle and horses for them, and he was willing to do it.

"You are their biological father. If I could live, I wouldn't have begged for death. It's just that you also know that my illness is just dragging on for days. ”

Chu Huajin didn't want to hear this, so he got up and said, "I'll go and see what's going on with my mother-in-law." My mother wanted to leave them for dinner, and after eating, I went to find a car to send them back in person. After saying that, he walked away.

Pei Shufan looked at Chu Huajin's back and smiled, then called Ning's mother over and said, "Tongxue is pregnant, and she wants to carry her aunt." You go and tell her to move to Aunt Qi's yard to raise the baby. said that the days are tight now, and when she has a child, she will make a yard for her. ”

Mother Ning understood and said with a smile: "Madam is really magnanimous. These little hooves, if you don't look at them, you know that they are naughty. If only Madame had listened to the old slave, she would have made a plan earlier. ”

Pei Shufan smiled and said, "It's a good thing that they are pregnant." Anyway, there are two or three, not bad for this one. The more the better, in fact, this kid. The more you are, the more you have to do your part. - Scarcity is expensive, and sometimes it is because there are fewer children that some people will have some thoughts that they should not have. ”

Mother Ning had never thought about it from this angle, but now that she heard what Mrs. said, it made sense, so she responded.

Aunt Qi, when she heard that Tong Xue beside her husband was pregnant, she carried her aunt again, and she had to go to her yard to raise the baby, so she just sighed and said to her mother Qi beside her: "Madam is really a good means." is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the first assistant of the three dynasties, this hand is really high! ”

Mother Qi knew Aunt Qi's thoughts, but now the situation is stronger than others, so they can't do it if they don't bow their heads, so they persuaded: "Auntie, don't think too much." To say that Mrs. is like this, it is already rare among everyone. My aunt was very lucky to meet a housewife like Madame. To say something that shouldn't be said, when my aunt was in her mother's Dingnan Hou Mansion that day, she also saw the concubines, concubines, and concubines of the Dingnan Hou Mansion, what kind of life did they have......"

Hearing these words is even more heart-wrenching.

Aunt Qi knew that Madame had done an excellent job on the surface. But she never believed that the lady would be glorious and had nothing to do with them. If he was the main room, he would be virtuous and generous, even better than Pei Shufan. It's just that God didn't give her this opportunity, and the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was originally her own!
