Chapter 450: Obsession (Part II)
Xu Siyu let out a long breath.
At least, Qiu Luo's death had nothing to do with Aunt Qin!
"At the beginning of the unitary period, Qiu Luo gave birth to a baby boy!" Aunt Qin muttered, "The little maid has come to report that the second lady is going to see the child." I would love to go too. As usual, he followed behind the second lady. When the second lady saw it, she didn't squeak, so I followed the second lady to the lady's place.
Sure enough, as Mrs. Wen said, Mrs. held the child in the banquet between the west and the west, Mrs. Tai, Master Hou, Third Master, Fifth Master, Third Lady, as well as the little maids and mothers-in-law who served, except for Mother Tao, were all present. Seeing us enter, the lady looked very happy, and took the child and came over to show the second lady. I took the opportunity to stand on tiptoe and take a lookβthe boy was thin and small, and he looked no more than three or four pounds. Lying in the crook of Madame's arm, like a frosted eggplant, weak and weak.
"The second lady glanced at it lightly, and said a few words lightly, 'This child looks very delicate', and a little maid ran in, saying that Qiu Luo was bleeding after giving birth, and Tao's mother, who was taking care of Qiu Luo in the delivery room, asked her to find a doctor to take a look at Qiu Luo."
Although he already knew the result, when he heard what happened back then, Xu Siyu still pricked up his ears.
"Everyone was surprised." Aunt Qin said, "The third lady said 'oops' even more, saying, everything was fine just now, why did she suddenly bleed more than once." When the people in the house heard this, they all looked at the lady. Only the second lady glanced at me and lowered her head to drink tea.
"The second lady has always been very powerful, I don't know why she is looking at me. I was scared...... I didn't mean anything else. I just want to see Qiuluo...... When Madame got married, she was only a little girl of seven or eight years old, but she was already very smart...... It's a few more beautiful than jasper...... Now that she has been promoted by her wife and has given birth to a son, eight or nine times out of ten she will carry her aunt, if she has another man and half girl...... I didn't dare to look at the second lady, so I lowered my head and stood there silently with bated breath. I heard my wife tell someone to go to the doctor, and she told her that she wanted to go to the delivery room to have a look.
When Mrs. Tai heard this, she stood up. Said to the lady, since you are busy, then everyone should disperse! Wait two days to attend the child's baptism. Then he said to the two of them that he always felt a little pain in his back, and last time the second lady helped to beat it, and it felt much better, and this time let the second lady help beat it again. When the third lady heard this, she immediately stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Tai and asked Mrs. Tai where it hurts? Does it matter? She also has a beauty hammer with nanmu inlaid with white jade, which is the marriage of her mother's family, and it is said that it is particularly good for the elderly...... The attitude is very attentive. The fifth master also stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Tai's sleeve and asked...... For a while, he put aside Qiuluo's affairs and went out with Mrs. Tai in his arms.
The second lady told Yuuka to take me back to the house. He also said, let me help finish the rest of the ink.
The fifth master asked the second lady curiously, what are you doing with the ink at this time?
The second lady said that she wanted to add pomegranate flower juice to Morry to see if the color of the ink could be more beautiful.
The fifth master shouted, if the ink is finished, he has to give him two pieces.
They talked and laughed and went to Mrs. Tai's house. No one looked at me again...... I followed Yuuka back to the house.
Yuuka brought me a brocade stick, and I sat down in front of the bookcase to polish the ink. It wasn't until late that the second lady came back after three knocks. Seeing that I was still grinding ink, she nodded, and Yuuka served her and went to the clean room to freshen up.
"I've been grinding ink for days, and the upper and lower eyelids are already fighting. The second lady is like this, and I don't know what to do - if I continue to grind, my hands are sore, swollen and painful, and if I don't continue to grind, I am afraid that the second lady will be angry. After thinking about it for a long time, I boldly put down the ink strip and went to the clean room lightly.
The second lady was talking to Yuuka about something, and when she heard the movement, she immediately stopped the topic and looked at me - the second lady's face was ugly. Seeing that I was standing at the door, the second lady looked soothing and asked me what was the matter? I stumbled. The second lady asked Yuuka to go to rest with me, and just call a little maid to serve her and freshen up.
Yuuka hesitated, then went back to the house with me to rest. Speaking of this, Aunt Qin's eyebrows showed a few smug looks, "Actually, I heard the second lady and Yuuka talking. β
Ever since I stepped into this room, it was like pushing open a door that had been sealed in the dust for ten years, and not only thick cobwebs, but also unknown birds rushed towards me.
Now, the second aunt is involved!
Xu Siyu's hand clenched into a fist: "Second aunt, what did you say to Yuuka?" β
"Just one word." The smug look between Aunt Qin's eyebrows became even stronger, "The second lady said that rhubarb was found in the chicken soup that Mother Tao brought to Qiu Luo just now. As she spoke, she laughed, "Do you know what rhubarb is?" β
Xu Siyu didn't know.
But he knew that the second aunt was a point of pharmacology. If the second aunt feels that something is wrong, there must be a problem.
He shook his head slightly.
Aunt Qin couldn't see it, but she thought of it with Xu Siyu: "I don't know what rhubarb is." But when I saw that the second lady's face was so ugly, I knew that this was not a good thing. I was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, and I was not afraid to turn over, for fear of alarming the Yuuka around me, thinking about the chicken soup with rhubarb, thinking about Qiuluo with postpartum hemorrhage, and the child who was thinner than ordinary babies...... Seeing the sky gradually turn white, I thought to myself, why hasn't there been any movement yet...... Just when I was nervous, a little maid came running and said that Qiuluo had died of blood after giving birth. She said, smiling, "A few days later, the child died of weakness. β
Xu Siyu's face was expressionless.
His biological mother Aunt Qin, who was honest and honest, and his father was terrified when he met Mrs. Tai, could fall into the well when Aunt Tong was killed, why couldn't his proud and arrogant mother become ruthless?
Now, nothing surprises him.
Xu Siyu heard himself say in a calm and seemingly dull voice: "In order to let the child only think of nurturing grace and not thinking of life in the future, so Mother Tao gave Qiuluo a chicken soup with rhubarb, and as a result, the adult died, and the child did not survive because his body was too weak!" β
Aunt Qin nodded: "Second Young Master, you say, is this the will of heaven?" She fumbled and pulled Xu Siyu's arm, "I came from a humble background and looked ordinary, but because of my duty, I was transferred to the Hou Ye's house by Mrs. Tai." Coincidentally, he was pointed out to Hou Ye to make a room. It stands to reason that when the Hou Ye married a wife and gave birth to a son-in-law, I was also old and had no heirs, so eight or nine out of ten were released and married casually. I never thought that first my wife had a miscarriage when the second master died without an heir, and then the old marquis was critically ill, and I was stopped from taking medicine......" She paused slightly, jumped some things in the middle, and said, "I'm afraid that the son I gave birth to is not the eldest son, so there was Aunt Tong's incident; I am afraid that Madame will raise Qiuluo's son to suppress you, and the child will die. I'm afraid that Changchun Daoist will ask for a son for his wife, but as a result, Brother Zhen was born with a deficiency disease, and he can't support him, and he emptied his wife's body and bones. I just wanted to bury the things given by Zhu Daopo in the vicinity of Brother Zhen's residence according to what Zhu Daopo said, and I was afraid of being bumped into by others, so I took a mask you played with when you were a child in my hand, ready for someone to see it and scare her. Who knew that he had just buried something and got up, but he met Brother Zhen walking outside with a little maid...... Isn't it providential, you say? β
"What did you say?" Xu Siyu's expression changed greatly, countless thoughts jumped out of his mind, and he grabbed Aunt Qin's arm with his backhand, "What Zhu Daopo?" What are you buried? And Xu Sizhen, what does his illness have to do with you? β
He was aggressive every sentence, Aunt Qin was frightened and stunned, and only screamed for a while, struggling to shake off the arm that was grabbed by Xu Siyu.
Lianjiao, who was hiding behind the curtain, was about to rush out when she saw it, but was grabbed by Xiao Luzi.
"Don't, don't!" His voice was weak and his head was covered with sweat, as if he had some serious illness.
Lianjiao opened her mouth and wanted to ask him what was wrong, but she covered Xiao Luzi's mouth and said in her ear: "Don't say anything, don't say anything...... We've got to figure out how to get out. β
Xu Siyu was startled at first. He didn't expect Aunt Qin to react so much to his words. I am afraid that someone will come in and hear something that should not be heard. Later, when he saw that there was no movement in the room, he was relieved to know that the servants had avoided it as instructed. Wen whispered to comfort Aunt Qin for a long time, and finally made Aunt Qin quiet.
But everything Aunt Qin said just now was deeply imprinted in his heart, making his heart fluctuate, and he couldn't help himself.
Does my father mean this when he says "something happened"?
Thinking of this, his thin lips pursed tightly.
A gentleman does something and does nothing.
Rather than shy away, it's better to understand.
At the very least, you can take the initiative when talking to your father.
Thinking of this, Xu Siyu couldn't help but ask Aunt Qin softly: "Zhu Daopo, what did you give?" β
Aunt Qin was wary when she heard this, and immediately said, "No, you didn't give me anything!" β
What is it that makes my aunt so cautious?
Xu Siyu was even more suspicious, knowing that there would be no answer if he reluctantly asked. After thinking about it, he changed the topic: "So, Xu Sizhen was scared by you?" β
"Be quiet!" Aunt Qin rolled her cloudy eyes and said in a low voice, "Don't tell anyone about this. β
Xu Siyu nodded: "I don't say it to others!" β
Aunt Qin thought for a while and beckoned to Xu Siyu: "Come here, I'll tell you!" β
Xu Siyu leaned over.
Aunt Qin whispered, "I scared Brother Zhen to death." Hou Ye was furious. Mrs. is not pregnant, the fetal position has not yet settled, and she has a miscarriage. She said, showing a pleasant smile, "Second Young Master, now you are the only son of the Hou Ye again, the prince of the Yongping Hou Mansion, and the Yongping Hou in the future!" β
Xu Siyu looked at Aunt Qin incredulously and opened her mouth.
