That night, there was an accident in Peanut Alley.

Qi Yuzhi's eldest son, Qi Hui, died because of a long-term illness.

Just when some people were relieved by the news, and some people were sad about the news, it was rumored that Aunt Wei, who was lying in bed because of her son's death, was so sick that she went to Qi Fei's house and strangled Qi Fei to death while everyone was doing things for Qi Hua.

Everyone hadn't recovered from this shock, and when Qi Yuzhi and Fang Shaoqin were still holding Qi Fei, crying sadly and angrily, and were full of pain, Mama Shi found that Wei Shiying had hung herself on the main beam of the main house of Qi Mansion in Peanut Hutong with a white silk......

As soon as Gu Xiyan got out of the carriage, he heard the news.

Stunned, she couldn't help asking, "What about Mrs. Xu?" ”

She was greeted by Qi Zhi's wife, the fourth aunt, and the lobby sister-in-law, Cui.

The fourth aunt's expression was a little strange, and Cui's eyes darkened, and she said, "Auntie...... The wind is paralyzed again, and now, I can't speak......"

Gu Xiyan's sideburns were sweating, and he couldn't help but exchange a look with Duan Yingluo.

Both of them sighed a little in their hearts.

Qi Fei has always been surrounded by a large group of mothers and maids, how could he let Wei Shiying break in, not only broke in, but also had the strength to strangle the child...... Among them, there are a lot of incomprehensible things, but if you have a relationship with Mrs. Wei, it will not be strange at all......

It's a circle around such a big land. I've done so many dramas. I just hope that I can borrow Mrs. Wei's hand to remove some hidden obstacles before returning home. But these three and a half lives. Among them are two children under the age of three...... They didn't expect the outcome to be so tragic!

Gu Xiyan sighed. There is another concern as well.

"Did you report to your grandfather?" Say a mouthful. I feel like I'm too one-sided. Hurriedly added. "How is Shaoqin now?"

Cui said: "Over there." I've already had a letter delivered. Shaoqin ...... "Speaking of which. His eyes were red. "Get on the bed. Don't eat or drink. No one pays attention to ......"

Gu Xiyan was stunned. Then he let out a long sigh.

Time. The atmosphere became a little sad.

The fourth aunt hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at us, just talk about these things...... I heard that my niece and daughter-in-law are pregnant with a child, and we haven't congratulated you yet! After saying that, he smiled and said "congratulations".

Cui Shi listened. also swept away the haze just now, and a cheerful smile bloomed on his face: "This is a great joy, congratulations, ninth brother and sister." ”

Everyone said a few polite words. I went to the Hyunji Temple.

On the way, Cui said: "This happened, and there was no one in the family who presided over the overall situation, so the fourth uncle asked me and the fourth aunt to temporarily preside over the family's middle feed." I'm happy and worried that you're back. I'm glad you're pregnant with a child, but I'm worried that you're tired of this business......"

"Thanks to the fourth aunt and sister-in-law for taking care of me," said Gu Xiyan, who was about to bow and thank the two of them, and Da Cui hurriedly helped her up. "This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Gu Xiyan said gratefully: "If I wasn't pregnant, speaking of which, I should kowtow to my fourth aunt and sister-in-law...... Thanks to the two of them who served me in front of my mother......"

Both of them had strange expressions on their faces.

Gu Xiyan was puzzled and said, "What's wrong?" ”

The two of them said in unison: "Nothing, nothing!" ”

Gu Xiyan was a little uneasy and looked back. Seeing that Duan Yingluo was less than three steps away from her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

When Gu Xiyan entered the Xianji Courtyard, she faintly felt that something was wrong.

The maids and maids were still familiar faces, but the expressions on their faces looked a little frightened, Gu Xiyan paused, but the fourth aunt and Cui's had already entered the house under the service of the maids.

Gu Xiyan hesitated for a moment, and then followed in.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Mama Yi standing by the curtain of the door. She has gray hair. The face is haggard. The once blazing eyes are now dull and wooden, completely lacking their usual agility and ability. The whole person seemed to be covered with a layer of gray and dim.

Seeing Gu Xiyan come in, Mama Yi just raised her eyelids slightly, and then helped her open the curtain with an expressionless face.

Is it because it's too sad?

The thought flashed through Gu Xiyan's mind, but it made her feel that this reason was a bit far-fetched.

But the curtain that was lifted did not allow her to think too much. She gathered her thoughts and stepped into Mrs. Xu's bedroom.

As soon as she entered, she stayed there.

In front of Duobaoge, there stood a tall and peach woman, plump, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a real red dress, as bright as a blooming peony flower.

Gu Xiyan's hands were like sweat.

It turned out to be, yes, it was Mrs. Wei.

She smiled at Gu Xiyan, as bright as the sun.

"Young lady, you're back......"

Gu Xiyan was stunned and couldn't say a word, and his eyes were a little eager to find Mrs. Xu.

The bed curtain hung low, half-open and half-closed, just in time to see Mrs. Xu's face.

Her face was pale and she was sleeping on a half-new and half-old autumn-colored pillow, her eyes were wide open and she looked at Gu Xiyan, and her old face actually showed a pleading look.

Gu Xiyan was secretly surprised in his heart, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on Mrs. Wei's face.

"Niece and daughter-in-law......" The fourth aunt opened her mouth with a cough, but Mrs. Wei glanced at her with contempt, interrupted her words, and said, "Young lady, you are pregnant...... I'll do this sick thing! ”

Gu Xiyan was no matter how calm he was, and his eyes couldn't help but widen at this time: "You...... Sickness? ”

No wonder the fourth aunt and Cui Shidi have a little different colors between their expressions, no wonder Mama Yi's face is like ashes, no wonder Mrs. Xu looks at her with pleading eyes...... Mrs. Wei served Mrs. Xu...... That's not a weasel greeting a chicken......

The atmosphere in the room immediately became uncomfortable.

Gu Xiyan thought for a while, and then slowly spoke: "The matter of serving the sick is the duty of the daughter-in-law, how dare you serve the ......?"

Mrs. Wei's gaze fell coldly on the fourth aunt.

"Niece and daughter-in-law," the fourth aunt said a little unnaturally. "Mrs. Wei's words also have a point. You're no more than normal now...... It's better for Mrs. Wei to serve you...... As for the family, my eldest nephew and daughter-in-law and I will also help you watch it...... You can rest assured......"

Gu Xiyan sweated in his temples, looked at Mrs. Wei with a sneer, and then looked at the fourth aunt who was nervous, and finally his eyes fell on Cui's who looked self-conscious.

Cui Shi raised his head and smiled, and said, "Ninth brother and sister, you have rushed back from the spring all the way, and you are a double-body person, let me help you back to the pear orchard...... It's the same with the eldest aunt after resting...... Mrs. Wei is here to take care of the sick, and there are four aunts to help take care of it. There's nothing to worry about......"

I didn't expect it to be like this.

Gu Xiyan reluctantly answered "yes", and then left Xianji Courtyard with Cui's support.

Along the way, everyone did not speak and entered the pear orchard. Gu Xiyan smiled and kept Cui's: "Sister-in-law, come in and sit down, have a cup of tea and leave!" ”

Cui Shi smiled: "No, the guest is the host An." You'd better rest early......"

Gu Xiyan was in good spirits, but she didn't dare to be careless, so she didn't keep Cui's more and let Xingyu send off the guests.

After entering the pear orchard, Duan Niang immediately stiffened her shoulders and looked around.

"Well, people are in a lot of spirit...... I also plumped up a little ......"

Gu Xiyan looked at Duanniang's tearful appearance with a smile, her eyes couldn't help but get wet, and said, "Auntie, let you worry!" ”

"Silly boy. What do you say? I have been looking forward to this day day and night...... I'm so happy with this heart! ”

The girls went in and out to pack up their things, Xingyu happened to walk by with a set of tea sets, and laughed loudly: "Auntie, you are really ...... Our wife hasn't eaten yet, and she's been riding in a carriage for so long. Can't you just let us finish serving and then nag Madame about this......"

Duan Niang was stunned, and felt that Xingyu seemed to be a little different from before going to spring, becoming more lively and beautiful. She couldn't help but glance at her, and said with a smile: "This girl, why don't you hurry up and serve Mrs. to lie down...... These bits and pieces, let's leave them to the people below! ”

Xingyu smiled: "This is not a bits and pieces, this set of tea sets, Mrs. likes it the most...... I deliberately cleared it out and gave it to my wife...... Such. Madame must be in a better mood. Madame is in a better mood, and Xiao Shizi's mood is also better. Our aunt Duan's mood is also better...... How can I say it's a trivial matter! ”

While laughing, she still handed the tea set to the little girl beside her, and listened to Duan Niang's instructions to take Gu Xiyan's arm.

Gu Xiyan smiled: "I'm not seventy or eighty anymore......" said and entered the bedroom with Xingyu.

Duan Niang also smiled and followed in, Cuiyu and Yunshang fetched water to wash Gu Xiyan, Duan Niang said strangely: "Why didn't you see Yanhong and Qiushi?" ”

Gu Xiyan sat on the kang and asked Cuiyu to wrap the long handkerchief around her chest and wash her face with Yunshang.

Xingyu didn't seem to hear Duan Niang's words, and was busy making Gu Xiyan's bed.

"Oh, Aunt Gao is on the clinic, I asked Yanhong to serve her in front of her, and she should be back in two days......" Gu Xiyan picked the fragrant honey the size of a mung bean and wiped it on her face with the tips of her fingers, "Qiu Shi, her family has found her and wants to redeem her, so I will let her go back!" ”

Knowing that Qiushi's news may have been sent to Shudi, how could Gu Xiyan keep her.

It's just a pity that the good skill of combing hair with one hand.

Duan Niang is not very unclear about the details of these girls, this kind of halfway rich wants to redeem the children who sold the land in the early years, it is a common thing. She nodded, frowning slightly: "It seems that there are a few more people in this room." ”

"There's no need to rush," Gu Xiyan said with a smile, "Just look for it slowly." ”

"Why not rush." Duan Niang disagreed, "The child is about to be born...... How can this nurse, adoptive mother, maidservant, and grandmother not be in a hurry......"

Gu Xiyan thought about it, too.

She couldn't help but have a headache, and when the time came, she didn't know who came in!

After freshening up, Hongluan came up to greet her under the leadership of Mama Lei.

After a few months of not seeing her, she grew a lot taller.

Gu Xiyan asked Yunshang to give some of the food she brought to Mama Lei, and asked about the situation recently. Knowing that she had already started to practice big characters, she nodded with satisfaction, said some words of encouragement to Hongluan, and said words of gratitude to Mama Lei for taking care of her, and then sent Hongluan away.

Duan Niang looked at Hongluan's somewhat lonely back and couldn't help sighing.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Xiyan asked Xingyu to distribute it to her, "But she made trouble at home again?" ”

Duan Niang shook her head and said, "That's not it...... Always a motherless child......"

There's no way around it.

I really don't have the patience to always do some hot face and cold ** things.

I don't know who chewed the root of her tongue in front of her...... said that Zhenniang agreed to take care of her because she was an aunt, but now that she saw that there was no hope, she left her and ran away under the pretext of being sick...... This kid came to ask me, is it true? ”

Gu Xiyan was taken aback and said, "Do you know who said it?" So how did you answer Hongluan? ”

Duan Niang smiled bitterly: "She won't say who said it." Of course, I was sure that Zhenniang was really sick...... She asked me what the disease was, and I said it was tuberculosis, and who knew that the boy would not believe me. When I went to see Zhenniang two days ago, I asked the Taoist aunt in the temple in private, and I heard that it was a fall, and after I came back, I locked myself in the house for two days and two nights without eating or drinking...... Thanks to Gardenia, it's only gotten better in the past two days. ”

Gu Xiyan said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Duan Niang sighed: "I told you earlier, what's the use of telling you earlier." There are some things that you still have to figure out by yourself...... I only hope that when she gets married and becomes a mother in the future, she can appreciate your sincerity to her. ”

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Didn't she complain a lot about her stepmother at the beginning? No wonder people say that a daughter is a mother's little padded jacket, if only she could give birth to a daughter!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look down at her abdomen.

In terms of the overall situation, it is better to have a son......
